Women Responsible for War.

Ruskin: l for one would fain join in the
cadence of hammer-strokes that should
beat swords into plowshares, and that this
cannot be is not the fault of us men. 1t is
the fault of woman. Wholly hers. Only
by your command or your permission can
any contest take place among US. And
the real reason for all the poverty, misery
and rage of battle throughout Europe is
simply that you women, however good,
however religious, however self-sacrificing
for those whom you love, are too sell
fish and too thoughtless to take pains
for any creature outside of your own
immediate circles. You fancy that you are
sorry for the pains of Others Now, l just

We have none of US heart enough
truly to mourn with them. But at least we
might put on the outer symbols of mourn
ing with these. Let but every Christian
lady who has conscience toward God VOW
that she will mourn, at least outwardly, for
his killed creatures. Your praying is use

of God, if you have not plain obedience
enough in you for this. Let every lady in

stopping in Charleston. S. c., at the time
the townsite down there rose up and shook
itself. He had retired for the night and
was dreaming of cOnversing with female
book agent, when he was suddenly awakened
and found the house shaking as though it
had contracted case Of ague. Mr.. Shell
don is not timid man, but he wasn't sing
ing any wild songs of delight. Jumping
out of bed he struck match and went
over where he left the gas jet when he
went to bed, but he found that the room
had turned around while he was asleep

Teasdale and the sun Glass.

1t is reported that Il. W. Teasdale, gen
eral passenger agent of the Omaha road, is
to take vacation to brace up his health,
which has been somewhat impaired by con-
slant attention to business. There is no
man. probably, connected with Northwest
ern circles who can enjoy joke more than
can MIR. Teasdale. 1t Is said of
him that several years ago he went
down the river in August for a months va
cation. While on the steamboat he was
troubled a great deal with mosquitoes and
flies, and while on deck he was constantly
fighting them. One afternoon he sat near
the pilot house and old John Green, one of
the oldest captains on the river, came up.
Just as he came in sight Teasdale made a
frantic dive at cloud of mosquitoes that
were lowering around him.

.sWhat is the matter?'' repeated the railroad
man; 'why, these COMPOUNDED flies and mos
Quitoes will eat me up before we land

"It's er CO." said the captain, and both men
produced their money.
The passengers had become interested by
this time and crowd gathered around the
men. Everything was made ready and the
old captain. barring his head, sat down in
chair and started out to win the bet. In
two minutes the bald head of the old cap
tain was black with flies and mosquitoes,
but he didn't show any signs of uneasiness.
Ten minutes slipped by and the old man
sat coolly chewing his tobacco. Eleven and
twelve minutes went by and still the old
man was cool, calm and collected Teas
dale began to get nervous, and knew if
something wasn't done he would lose his
$50. When the thirteenth minute had
passed he reached down in his vest pocket,
and bringing out a sun-glass, he adjusted it
and got focus in the center of the captains
bald scalp. A half minute went
by and the captain began to show signs of
uneasiness. He chewed harder and spit
oftener than he had been doing. A half
minute more and he asked if the time
wasn't up. No" said Teasdale, you've
got another minute. The old man moved
uneasily in his chair grItted his teeth and
made motion as though he would brush
off his scalp and all this time the sun-glass
was doing splendid job and the CLASSY

gan to sizzle and fry under the heat. An

Center of One of the Finest Wheat
Belts in the Northwest.
The town of Red Lake Falls, Polk
county. is at present, and with good reason,
attracting no little attention as probable
coming city. 1t is situated at the junction
of the Rcd Lake and Clearwater rivers, in
the eastern part of Polk county, on town
site containing all the requisites for beau
tiful as well as a prosperous city. The
water powers at this place are second only
to those at Minneapolis and can be easily
and cheaply utilized. No better location
can be found north of st. Paul for mills and
manufactures of all kinds. The powers
mine in alb are situated on both rivers and
have each fall of from twelve to twenty
five feet and IN addition to the number are
ineXhauStible. The recent opening for
sale of the pine lands on the Red Lake res
ervatiOn ton which al moderate estimate
are 1000 600. 600 feet affords fine chance
here for one or more large saw mills, as the
pine must be driven by one of the two
rivers which unite at this point. The lum-
Der trade at no distant day will be one of
Red Lake Falls largest industries. The
Red Lake and Clearwater rivers both above
and below this point, are frnged with hard
wood timber which will furnish
abundance of fuel for every purpose.
Two railroads are now building and will
reach here this fall. The Duluth IL Mani
tOba. building from the Northern Pacific at
Hawiey, has the entire line graded to Red
Lake Falls and the rails laid TO Twin Val
ley, forty-tive miles from here. Iron is be-
ing laid at the rate of two miles per day,
and the cars will be in the town in three
weeks. The st. Paul, Minneapolis Il
Manitoba are making active preparations
for coming here this fall. The preliminary
surveys have been made into town, and the
grading is partially completed between Red
Lake Falls and Pelican Rapids, or some
point on the main line. The surrounding
country is one of the finest wheat belts in
the Northwest. and will market 500. 600
bushels of No. hard from the immediate
country. A daily stage runs between here
and CrOokSton, twenty-five miles distant,
carrying the mail and passengers. The
present population is about six hundred.
and rapidly increasing. Upon division Of
Polk county, which must soon take place,
Red Lake Falls, in all probability, will be-
come the county seat of a new county,
which will materially aid its growth. The

west, the natural market fer the fine forests
on the reservation, and the great water

up the howl of resentment that they are
capable of sending up, the officials will re-
duce their rates to meet that adopted by the
other lines. 1t may not be generally known
how the four-cent rate was established. 1t
was in this manner Before the war the
rate in the state of Wisconsin was cents
mile, but when the rebellion broke out the
state put taxation of l cent mile on
every passenger transported by the roads,
and the roads, in order to protect them
selves, raised their rate to cents, which
enabled them to make just as much
money as they were making prior to
the tax levy. At the close OF the
was the tax was Withdrawn
but the railroad forgot to cut down the
l cent that they were no longer obliged to
pay to the state and continued doing bust
ness and putting the extra cent down in
their pockets, and thus it continued until
the ball was set in motion by the W isconSin
Central. Unless the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba roads come down to the rate
made by the others, there will probably be
all exhibition of colored fire by the Compel
ing lines. The reduction was to have taken
effect in Minnesota on the 18th of next
month, and in Wisconsin on the 10Th OF
November, but it is reported that the gen.
eral managers of the roads interested will
request the commissioners that the reduc-
ton in this state be delayed till Nov. L.
The Omaha road first intended to make
the same reduction on their line in Dakota,
but finally concluded not to, as they had
only about fifty-iive miles of road in the
territory and as the Northwestern, with
which it connects, is not to make a reduc-
ton in that territory, the Omaha decided
not to.
