costing 315.ooo.
Charles City is now connected by telephone
With Waterloo, Cedar Falls. Waverly, Cedar
Rapids, and several other towns In the vdci-

Blue Earth county is to have new Court
House. 1t is to be built of stone, and to cost
about 81, 900. Mankato is to be congratulated
on the new and needed improvement to their
busy prosperous town.
Hon. A. c. Hickman, state senator of

DO good now. A worthy Quaker thus
wrote: II expect to pass through this world
but once; If. therefore, there be any kindness
I can show, or any good thing I can do, to any
fellow human being, let me do it now. Let
me not defer or neglect it, for shall not pass
this way again."
The deadest enterprise on the continent
to-day is roller skating and the management
of Kinks. The business went up like a rocket
and came down like stick. All over the
country the story is the same-idle Kinks and
no interest. But it was booming amuse-
ment for a time. Fortunes were made while
the boom lasted. One man started in shed
at Richland, Ind, manufacturing roller skates
and retired with fortune of million dol
lars. But the fun is over.-Er.
The St. Peter Tribune announces the fol-
lowing very sensible platform:
We publish the Tribune, the same as a
merchant runs his store, purely as bust
ness enterprise. 1t is not an object of
sympathy or charity, and while we are CRATE
full as anyone can be for patronage, at the
same time we do not want it as donation
or gratuity. We think we publish as good
country paper as is published in the state,
and expect to give full equivalent for every
dellar received. Any one who feels that he
better not patronize us. That is our plat
form.
Our exchanges of this state last week con-
spective counties, and they furnish an inter.
esting study. Several of them are plainly
defective in law, and sales based on them will
| be invalid. This is the case with portions of
| the list of Houston county as it appears in
the Journal, and with Mower county, as it is
published in the Register. 1t shows culpable
neglect In the proper officers OF those counties
that they did not supervise the publication
| aud see that it was correct. The largest list
we have seen is that of Blue Earth county
published in the MankatQ Free Press. 1t occu-
pies space nearly equal to two entire pages

q Not symptoms n, hut q, the disease.

It would seem to be q truth appreciable BY
all, and especially by professors of the heal
ing art, that to remove the disease, not to al.
leyiate its symptoms, should be the chief aim
Of medication. Yet in how many instances do
we see this truth admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reason that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is successful in so many cases
with which remedies previously tried were
inadequate to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is medicine which reaches and re-
moves the causes of the various maladies to
which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague. liver complaint, govt, rheumatism, dis
orders of the bowels, urinary affections and
other maladies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by it 1t goes to the fOuntain:head.
1t is really, not nominally, radical remedy.
and it endows the system with an amount Of
vigor which is its best protection against dis
ease.

MILO WHITE says: II never saw Hon.

doubt this, in the least. We should not
expect he would see any of WashinGton's
prominent officers, and for the credit of
the LIST district of Minnesota, we would
say we are mighty thankful, and hope
he never may. What this district IS in
an agony of prayer over now is, for a

ENGLAND CRIES FOR MORE.

Most Of the Statesmen of Great Britain
have Of late years disapproved the policy
Of further colonial expansion. Yet one
cause or another has kept that country a
little ahead of any other nation IN the
scramble for new lands. It is getting to
be amusing to see the promptness with
which British claim arises or British
man-of-war, regiment. or exploring party
appears on the scene in any part of the
world where another power ventures to
raise its flag.
When Spain settled her quarrel with
Bismarck the other day, and yielded to
Germany coaling station in the Caroline
Islands. England demanded a coaling
station too, and the Madrid Government
complied with rather ill grace. The
latest blue book admits that chief among
the causes leading to the annexation of
Burmah was the growing influence of the
French in Thebaw's capital. As soon as
France had garrlsoned Obock, on the east
African coast. England sent man-of.
war to occupy the neiEhboring islands of
hushah, barren rocks not before utilized.
Both nations claimed the territory south
Of Obock, and the dispute has been sub
mitted to arbitration.
Over year ago Beers from the Trans
vaal focked over the western frontier into
native territory. Sir Charles Warren
drove them back home and the Liberal
Ministry proceeded by proclamation to
annex the territory, as large as Spain, into
to a corner of which the Beers had intrud-
ed. When France entered North Formosa
during her unpleasantness with China,
England cast her eagle eye over the neigh
boring waters, and finally swooped down
upon Port Hamilton, in the Corean Sea.
All Australasia was mad as a hornet be-
cause England undertook to protect only
the south coast of New Guinea exactly
eight days before Bismarck laid heavy
hands upon all the rest Of the island.
England is now the proud possessor Of
st. Lucia Bay, Zululand, as the outcome
Of Germany's attempt to keep her flag
floating there. The expanding tendencies
also of the German territories in the
Gulf of Guinea made England hasten to
assume protectsrate over the entire Nj
ger delta.
The greed and jealousy Of British COM
mercial interests have forced the Govern
ment reluctantly to engage in several of
these enterprises. England has out
stripped the world in colonial ventures,
and to-day no British exporter can see a
foreign power snap up speck in the Pa
ciflc Ocean or an African swamp without
suffering a severe pang. and looking up
the records to see if England cannot
establish prior claim.-N. ?. Sun.

Journal and Herald says:

Austin already recognizes the benefit of her
canning factory. The canned goods of Min
nesota have already become famous even in
the infancy of the industry. There is deli
cacy of flavor in the Minnesota vegetables
superior to that of those put up in the east.
1t may be the soil, or the climate, or both, that
produce it, but. be that as it may, it exists
and has been recognized by eastern men them
selves, who offer more for Minnesota canned
goods than for eastern goods. In the gradual
abandonment of the improbable wheat farm
ing that is taking place, gardening is sure to
occupy no mean place as one of the profitable
industries of Southern Minnesota. This sec
ton has properly been named the garden OF
Minnesota, and the fame acquired by our
dairy products, our cattle. sheep and hogs
will extend also to our garden products.
All correct, Mr.. Editor.

FORT DOUGLAS THEATRICALS.
Fine Amateur Performance and a
Delightful Hop Last Evening.

Fort Douglas, under the present regime
has become famous for its numerous
events of pleasure of social character
Last evenings performance by the
Amateur Theatricals" and the delight.
full hop which followed constituted one OF
the most enjoyable of these events. The
officers of the post had evidently con-
spired to make the entertainment outshine
all previous ones, and they were appar-
emily successful in this. The rendering
of "Place AUX Danes" under the man
agement of Adjutant Groesbeck. was
thoroughly enjoyed, and was put on the
stage of Recreation Hall in a manner that
reflected much credit all around. The
piece is sort of travesty, in which an
amusing pot poari of extremely funny
parodies are introduced from standard
dramas, and the ingenious arrangement
OF the dialogue creates any amount of
merriment.
Mrs. Murdoch as Lady Macbeth, Mrs.
Newcomb as Ophelia, Miss Rice as Por-
tia, and Miss Hewson as Juliet, all rem
dered their parts in a way which could
not fail to insure the success and appreci-
alton of the piece, and the invisible
Romeo was not less successful in eliciting
the unsparing applause of the enthusiast
tic audience. Miss Hewson's Juliet, if
We may be permitted to discriminate, was
a charming impersonation, and was
dressed, as it was acted, in most admir-
able and fascinating style. The young
lady is possessed of wonderfully must
cal and captivating voice, and manifested |
a freedom and grace of manner which was
in first appearance, and this,
with the equally charming accomplish
ment Of perfect enuniciation, won for her
popularity on the stage.
The hop had everything to make it
1elightful-a pleasant hall, an excellent
ioor, the best of music and, not least i'm
Dortant, a thoroughly sociable gathering.
shortly after IL o'clock the officers with
lppreclative gallantry served refresh
nents, and these were not whit behind
very other feature of the evening in
'oint of excellence. Dancing was re-
umed and continued till past midnight,
nd everybody who was fortunate enough
o be present left with the consciousness
hat nothing in the nature of more de-
ghtful evenings pleasure could be
imagined.

AN ATTRACTIVE MINSTREL SHOW
The McNish, Johnson a. SIavfn
troupe Present n Bright
Entertain

A crowded auditorium and packed gal
leres again attested the popularity which
the minstrel form of entertainment has
reached in Salt Lake, and better recep-
ton or more enthusiastic class of peo-
pie than were present at the Salt Lake
Theatre last night, it has never been
the fortune OF McNish, Johnson& Sayin's
Minstrels to meet.
1t is only fair words for the company
to say that all the success they ACQUIRE
they deserve, for better entertainment
IN the minstrel line would be hard to find.
nothing lacking in the composition Of
three hours enjoyment, and the perform
ance, unlike many of the travelling COM
panies, being devoid of everything which
might be Objectionable to the sensitive
mind.
The orchestra is notable feature of
the show, and in some OF the ballads,
which are rendered by voices much above
the average minstrel vocalists, the ac-
compartments are exquisite in time and
harmony.
Some of the jokes are new, some are
old, but all seem to catch, and are pro-
ductive of the greatest laughter. Slavin
is one OF the best of comedians in his
eccentric line, and Rice, in his burlesque
OF "Esmeralda" is something immense.
The usual popular drill feature, "The
Black Hussars," is a piece of pretty work, |
and the united clog dance generally calls
Tor repetition. Frank McNish gives an
act OF his own, and it may be remarked |
that 1t is his exclusively, for no imi tator
has yet reached his perfection.
The novel part OF the programme, and
a part eagerly looked for, was the repre-
sentation OF statuary by Charles W.
the champion English athlete
and sparrer, and the fine artistic effect of
form in classic posing called
out much applause. His last pose
Charles w. Mitchell of
which he puts himself in
ring position-made the galleries veil
with delight.
The company play again tonight and
tomorrow night, and as they afford
hearty EN- oyment to all with offense to
none, their engagement will be success
