ONLY ONE OF HIS KIND.
A Queer Little Old Man who Gets Along
by Following Queer business.

by Following n Queer business.
On much-traveled uptown thorough.
fare a little half-story wooden shop stands
between two big business blocks, for all
the world like diminutive chunk of ham
between the abnormally thick slices Of
bread in railroad sandwich. The little
shop and ground on which it is built are
owned by a shrivelled old man. The shop
has two front windows. In one hangs a
card bearing the legend "Buttonholes in
side, and in the other Is another with the
inscription, "Any button matched--10
cents only"
Within the little shop are shelves and
counters covered with pasteboard trays
containing larger collection of buttons,
probably than can be found anywhere
else In New York. There Is every sort Of
button known to civilization, from the
plain white shirt button whose absence
has caused untold miserles In many
family circle, to the bold-faced metallic
military button which saves life every
now and then in war stories by turning a
bullet from its deadly course; buttons of
jet, gilt, ivory, bone, glass and wood,
plain buttons, parti colored buttons,
enamelled buttons, Undiscovered buttons,
buttons with shanks and without shanks,
rough buttons and smooth buttons but
tons that were invented yesterday and
buttons that were made half a century
ego.
In the back OF the shop there Is bench
like cobbler's, where the old man sits all
day cross-legged. A pretty faced little
girl who looks old for her size, waits upon
customers. She Is the little old mans
granddaughter. Neithr the old man nor
his granddaughter is inclined to talk
freely about their business. To n reporter,
however, the little girl said: ave match
buttons and sew them on the coats or
vests of gentlemen and on the dresses of
ladies' oh, yes, we have a good many
customers, principally young men. who
have lost button or two and haven't any
one to sew them on or can't match the
buttons in the regular stores. We often
need a few buttons they can't find else
where. You see our collection is so large
that we can supply the missing buttons in
almost any set Where did we get such a
large collection Grandpa has been gath
ering IL for years. He has a number Of
tailor shops and dressmaking establish
ments which he visits regularly. From
these he gets odd buttons by the hun
dreds, very cheap. We charge only 10
cents for any button that may be desired.
OF course, some Of them are worth good
deal more than that, but as the demand
is greatest for the cheap kinds we make
fair profit in the long run.-New York

run out more than twenty tons of pig
iron at a single casting, while some
in the Hooking Valley could cast
sixty! Such statements are ofcourse
too sublimely idiotic for serious con-
sideration, but they go to show that
the reign of ignorance regarding
Southern matters is not altogether
over, and that the necessity still ex-
lists for ceaseless claim, demonstra-
ton and advertisement. From that
or any other point of view the agri-
cultural and industrial convention at
Jackson is worthy of general support
and encouragement on the part of

In consequence of the extreme cold
weather nothing has been done in

Eggs have advanced one cent ,'but
with mild weather will probably lose
the advance. Many eggs have been
frozen and receipts for a few days
will probably be light.
1t is feared manygreen apples have
been frozen during the cold spell.
Where they were not well protected
they have been more or less damaged.
The probability is the demand will
be better after the present supply in

Excursion to Luke Superior
n CAMPEN, Sec.
Rochester, MINI.

A party of from Is to 100 ladies and
gentlemen from this city, Sleepy Eye,
Redwood Falls, Tracy, Marshall and
other southwestern Minnesota towns
will join in an excursion to Lake SUI
perior next week The party will go
to kasota next Wednesday morning on
the regular train. There they will
make close connection with a special
for Minneapolis and St. Paul, arriving
in the latter city about o'clock p. m.
Wednesday afternoon will be put in
viewing the sights in and around the
twin cities. At $40 p. m. the party will
take sleepers at St. Paul and proceed
via the G. St. P. NJ & o. road to Bay
field, Wis, where they will arrive at
7:10 the next morning. A steam yatch
will be in waiting, and after breakfast
at the Island View, the excursionists
will be taken across the bay to Made
line Island, Immediately opposite Bay
field and distant only about miles.
Here tents will be pitched and the par
ty will go into camp for ten days. La
Pointe, the place selected for the camp,
is an ancient landmark on Madeline
Island and one of the oldest settlements
OF America. The Pilgrim Fathers
landed upon Plymouth Rock only twen-
ty-one years before the Jesuit mission
aries and French traders were here up
on this. island.
One and half miles from La Pointe
is the site of the old French fort built
by LIE Sueur, in 1892. Madeline Island
is the largest and most accessible of the
Apostle Islands and its natural beauties
are manifold. There is good rock fish.
ing along the island and brook trout are
caught in great abundance in the IN
land streams near Bayfield,. A steam
yatch and sail and row boats will be at
the disposal of the excursiopists and if
they don't enjoy themselves to their
hearts content it will be their own fault.
When the party breaks camp they will
probably take a steamer at Bayfield,
and return by the way of Duluth. The
fare for the round trip from Kasota to
Bayfield, will be only $500, and for
those wishing to return viaDuluth SO, 80,
and the expense of the whole trip need
not exceed $25.

Mysterious Disappearance

Magdalena Daube, residing with her
sister, Mrs. Werner Juenemann, in this
city, left home two weeks ago to-day to
90 the farm of JOS Juenemann, in the
town of Sigel, distant about six miles
from New Ulm. She went after let
ter, but was told by her sister that she
might remain and assists Mr.. Juene-
mann in the harvest field, should he be
short of help. Not returning within a
reasonable time, Mrs. Juenemann went
out to her brother-in-law and. to her
great surprise, learned that her sister
had not been there at all. Search was
at once Instituted for the missing wo.
man, but up to this writing not the
slightest trace of her has been discov-
cred. It seems no one has seen her
after she left home. She is 43 years
old and when she left home she had on
an old dress and a handkerchief tied oy-
er her head. She carried no other cloth
ing with her and was without money.
Mrs. Juenemann is almost distracted
and has kept up the seach night and
day since her sisters disappearance
has been discovered. The matter has
also been brought to the attention of
the city authorities. If anyone knows
of the woman's present whereabouts
they will confer a favor by making the
fact known at once to Mrs. Juenemann
or the city authorities. The woman
is somewhat weak-minded, we are in
formed, and cannot speak any English.

The Caucus.

1t is the duty as well as the privilege
of a citizen of this country to use his
political rights to the best possible adj.
vantage. Every voter is part of the
sovereignty and is in measure respon-
sible for mistakes and misdoings of in
competant officials. Any man who ne
elects his political duty and attempts
to shirk this responsibility is ranting at
faults directly attributable to himself
when he is grumbling about the errors
of our government or the follies of our
officials. 1t is a singular fact that
men will face cannon and musketry to
gain political liberty, but in times of
peace allow it to take care of itself.
To say nothing of the danger TO nation
al life that lies in this neglect and in.
difference, our local needs require that
more interest be taken by voters in po-
litical affairs. One Of the greatest bull
warks of our political liberty and the
connecting link between official and
voter is the Caucus and of all our
political institutions this is the most
sadly neglected. Men stay away from
the caucus and solace themselves with
the idea that when Election day comes
they will make their choice. But on
Election day they find they have no
choice for the simple reason that can
didates whom others have nominated
are not what they desire and they are
obliged to take up with the choice Of a
comparative few or not vote at all.
Liberty in the ideal is a grand thing but
it is SO warped and perverted in prac
tlce that it is hard to tell wether we
have any. The fundamental principle
OF our government is that the people
govern themselves, but how many Of
us really exert any practical influence
except grumbllng upon the administra-
ton of public affairs. Its not because
we cannot but because we do not trv.
The caucus is the place first of all to
use our power in placing reliable can
didates in nomination for office and if
we fail in our duty there, our power
at the election is greatly restricted if not
totally destroyed The privilege Of no.
ninating, candidates for our many
offices is the rock of safety upon which
rests the whole fabric of American
freedom. Take this away and the peop-
lie will have no voice in making the
laws, no port in their administration,
and no political liberty. Relinguish
this privilege and We relinguish with it
all we gained by the Declaration OF In
dependence and the struggle that i'm.
mortalized it. Some will say there is
no danger, there is nobody to deprive
us Of it. We cannot be to sure of that
