of coin in the gold dollar. However,
no change is necessary if the debt pay
ing power of silver is maintained on
par with that of gold. Messrs. White,
Wakefield and Gllfillan have voiced the
wishes of their constituents in this re-
spect, in spite Of the clamor of the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press and other papers of
that ilk, and are entitled to credit for
so doing. Now let congress drop the
silver question and turn its attention
to other matters.
Not only has our village inaugurated
the opening of spring with boom in
building, but our citizens seem deter
mined to supply occupants for all the
new houses erected and to follow. First
Rudolf Warberg starts the week with a
girl baby, then Daniel Fritz opened the
ball on Tuesday by taking in a young
stranger, a bouncing big boy, and was
followed the same day by Geo. Ellis.
worth with fine girl, and a little later
in the day by Henry Ellison, with an.
other boy-all standard weight and
health. Three cheers and a tiger for
the patriotic and enterprising westend-
ers. Next! Lotcr-C. V. Lamm comes
to the front this Friday morning and
tallies one more for the west end. It's
Il boy, and kicks the beam at twelve
pounds. Who says this is not pro-
ductive country.-Adrian Guardian.
If the west end keeps on at this rate
Adrian will get the county seat ty the
time all those boys get old enough to
vote. People at this side Of the county
had better bestir themselves. If neces-
sary to prevent change in the county
seat, this writer might possibly commit
hari kari-no. matrimony, if some pub
!ic spirited, patriotic lady would assist
in his taking off.
The Spirit Lake Beacon appeared
with patent "inwards" last week, in
quarto form.
The Worthington ADVANCE is pos
sessed of wonderful sagacity and here
is an instance of it. Referring to the
Beaver Creek Bee the ADVANCE says:
1T appears to be I.uverne enterprise
to head off any change in the county
seat Of Rock county" No one but the
ADVANCE would have found it out 80
quick.-Beaver Greek Bee.
The Beaver Greek Bee lis possessed
of wonderful" enterprise, land here is
an instance of it, The type from
which the above was printed was taken
bodily from the columns of the Luverne
Herald and inserted in the Bee without
even word of credit, along with seve-
raj columns Of other matter But that
is the kind of enterprise that is ram
pant in the Luverne-Herald- Beaver
Greek Bee office.
The name of the paper published at
Lakefield, Jackson county, has been
changed from "Citizen" to ''Standard''
and has been enlarged to a fve-col-
umn quarto. 1t booms Lakeheld for
the county seat.
! Elsewhere appears communication
from Mr.. Dowd, of Dewald township,
in answer to a communication from
Mr.. Wilson in last weeks ADVANCE.
Both sides have now had their say, and
we must decline any further essays on
this subject, especially as it is an old
matter that cannot be remedied at this
late day. 1t seems to have arisen from
a misunderstanding among the voters
at the town meeting referred to. The
ADVANCE wishes it understood that it
is not taking sides in this case.
The Minneapolis Tribune has be-
come so religious that it prints no
more of Clara Bellies fashion articles.
Who would have thunk it?
J. H. Letcher, the, at one time, editor
of the [Pipestone] Republican, has been
bounced from his later position of col
lector for the c.. & J. Michel Brewing
company at this place, and left for the
far. far west on Tuesday. The reason
for this was made quite plain on Tues
day, when his name appeared in the
| police record of the Star as having been
fined $l2 for drunkenness. ss.-Pipestone
Star.
The idea of a brewing company dis.
charging an employe for getting drunk
is absurd. Do they expect their agents
to belong to the Y. NJ. G. A.
The Ellsworth News has discovered
an original way of spelling st. Pat
rick. The way it spells it is this:
"Paterick. .''-Worthington Advance.
And probably not to be outdone,
the Advance spells stereotyped this
way: 'Sterotyped. ."-Ellsworth News.
Possibly. But not for three issues
in succession. Thought by your per.

ick" was intentional.

"What?" asked the old man, his eye
brows bristling with curiosity.
Mud" said the youngster, while his
mouth went clear around his ears in a
grin. Fright you are" said the old
man. with the mud come colds and
coughs, and you know the remedy
