"A serious landslide occurred on the
Milwaukee road near the lie Sueur
river bridge this forenoon. A freight
train was just entering the cut as the
ground fell. The engine was lifted from
the track and thrown to one side and
was considerably damaged. A train
hand very narrowly escaped being
buried under the slide. He had gone
ahead to drive some cattle from the
track and was struck by the falling
earth. All passengers were transferred
during the dav.
business men who are content to
use rubber stamp with Its muddy,
half legiDle impressions, or to send out
poorly printed letter and bill heads be-
cause they cost few cents less than
clean, neat job on good paper, make
mistake which is properly exposed as
follows by the Scientific American,
which is in itselfan admirable represen-
tative of typographical neatness:
at should be borne i'm mind by every
business man that his letter paper IS his
representative to many people who
have never seen him, and who are like
ly to form their judgment of him, to q
large extent, by the qualities of his
proxy. A man who uses poverty -strick-
en- stationery stands in bad light to
those he addresses himself to. For the
sake of economizing a few cents he
gratuitously prejudices himself in the
opinion of many people who may be of
importance to him; for good stationery
Is like good suit of clothes, and so long
as men continue to judge from appear
ances thev will find both of value to
them. "-Faribault Republican.
