THE Winona Republican has got, $25.-
600 libel suit on hand and this is what
the management of the paper says about
the affair.
Some time last spring paragraph in
advertently appeared i'm the st. Charles
correspondence of the Republican con-
tanning blt of gossip of the neighbor-
hood which reflected upon the character
of former teacher in an adjoining town.
There was no name mentioned, but the
statement was appropriated by Mrs.
May Burt Felt as applying to her. The
Republican, when the attention of the
editor was called to the matter for the
first time, informed her friends who ap-
pealed to him. that it would make any
explanation or correction that might be
deemed suitable. This offer, however,
was declined. and Mrs. Felt, now res
ident of Minneapolis, thinks her char
acter has been damaged to the extent of
49,, 600, to obtain which modest sum,
she has, through an attorney, formally
brought an action at law. 1t is needless
to say the Republican was actuated by no
malice i'm the publication. Whether any
motive of this kind, or any other aside
from that of obtaining simple justice, in
spires the prosecution will appear later
on. The case will be vigorously defen-
ded,

Mothers.

There are upon the skin of every hu,
man being, child and adult alike, 1900,
600 pores. Through these pores in the
form of insensible perspiration, is ex-
PEELED more than one-quarter of the
nourishment taken into the system. The
importance of keeping open these per-
spiration valves upon child's body, is
second only to that of promptly digest
ing the food eaten. 1t was to open the
pores of the skin and to assimilate the
food that DIR. Pitcher formulated Cas-
toria. Loose bowels, constipation, fevers
and eruptions which are SO constant
among infants and children, and which
kill ne-third of all children before they
are five years old, arise principally from
these two causes. 1t is from the won
derful results attendant upon the use of
Castoria in regulating the stomachs and
bowels and keeping open the pores of
the skin, that Castoria acquired It's world
wide reputation. With plenty of water
for the body, pure air for the lungs and
Castoria to assimilate the food, there
need be no unaccounted for sickness
among children. CastOria is vegetable
prescription without morphine or other
narcotic property. Thirty years extern
sive use has given it history never at
tanned by another medicine. 10w4

If the Manitoba road" If pork won't
win Farmer" Hill will give up the
fight.
one of the leading candidates for the
Republican nomination for Governor,
was IN Winona to-day, and enlarged his
already extensive and pleasant acquaint-
ance in this city. Mr.. McGill, who is a
candid and straight forward gentleman,
informed IA representative of the Repub-
lean that his chances of success are very
promising, and he is quite sangulne that
the nomination will fall TO him.
Throughout Southern and Central Min
nesota Mr.. McGill is very strong with
the people, who Justly have great conf
dence IN his integrity of character and
general fitness for the position to which
he aspires.
Monteriieo Lea,Ier: 1t has been said OF
Mc(iill that he has been in Office so
much that il is time he retired and gave
| the people Il chance To elect somebody
| else. If we are correctly informed, he
has never held an elective office higher
than that of Superintendent of schools
| and that was shortly after the war He
| was private secretary 10 Governor Austin
during two terms, from 1870 to 1874, and
has held the Office of State Insurance
| Commissioner ever since. McGill can
not be called an Office seeker, but he can
be counted on as Il good, clean man, who
would honor the exalted position to
which he aspires.

impressed with the great intrinsic
value of the work as popular educa.
tor in high department of learning,
The plan is admirable. Combining as
it does personal knowledge of an

best literary productions, gives it an
inestimable power for good among the

At the annual meeting of the Ohio
Commandery of the military order of
the Loyal Legion, held at Cincinnati
Oh the 10th nit, General J. D. Cox
from the ecommittee read the following
memorial tribute to General Hancock
The death of General Winfield Scott
Hancock is personal grief to every
companion of the. Loyal Legion, for
every one of us has been proud of him
as our senior commander, and all who
have known him personally have been
devotedly attached to him as friends.
But he has been more He has, ,throuh
a whole lifetime, been the unblemish-
ed type and pattern of the American
soldier. He entered his country's SER
vice in boyhoOd, as cadet in the mil
itary academy, and continued not only
faithful but brilliantly efficient in its
His loyalty did not waver in the
dark days Of 1861, but he earnestly
pressed into the foreground of the
struggle, and so bore himself that his
name became proverbial for both DASH
ing leadership and manly, persistent
courage.
Without undue ambition or person
al self.seeking he won his way to fame
bysplendid conduct in an unparalleled
series of battles, the confidence of
brother officers and soldiers, outrun-
ming his advances in rank, and ap-
plauding every step he gained in pro-
motion. When jealousies and intrigue
were rife in the great army to which
he belonged, neither his devotion to
the flag nor bis jealous subordination
to his commander were ever question
ed. He burned only to do and 10 dare
greatly for his country; he inspired
his brother officers with a pure and
noble emulation in heroic deed, and
his soldiers with an enthusiasm of
courage which doubled their power.
In The supreme crisis of the war,
when Nicksburg and Gettysburg per.
manentiy turned the tide in favor of
the national cause, he reached the full
maturity of his powers, anu in the
great battle in Pennsylvania was for
tunate in the bearing of Great respon-
sibilities in such a war that victory
was in a large measure due To his broad
military judgment and his conspicu-
GUS bravery.
Severely wounded, he made haste to
resume his duty with his troops, and
from the Wilderness TO AppomattOx
the long series of fierce engagements
made each battle name anew decora-
ton to his soldierly renown. His last
appointment ia the war, to be COM
mandant of the veterans corps, fitly
indicated the universal judgment that
no one better typified the character
and hevirtue of the men who became
the American "Old Guard
Whilst he had political convictions
and attachments, from which the cit
zen-soIdier is not excluded, he careful
ly avoided every act which could be
construed into improper partisanship,
and always set an honorable example
of the conduct in this regard which
best becomes those who wear the ma
tion's uniform. AS an officer and a
gentleman, citizen and a soldier, he
was literally without fear and without
reproach; his name ought to be, and
will be, cherished as a national pride
and treasure.
