To Save Life

Frequently requires prompt action. An
hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases Of Group, Pneumonia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without a
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands Of
cases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. 1t gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for thorough
cure, which is certain to be effected by
its continued use.
s. H. Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon,
Ca, says: 81 have found Ayers Cherry
Pectoral perfect cure for Group in all
cases. l have known the worst cases
relieved in very short time by its use;
and / advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, Group, &C."

slant cough, night sweats, was greatly

Mr.. Editor !.

Our annual picnic was held
Saturday, Aug. 10, at L. Il. Land
mans. B. H. Landman and wife of
Cambridge, Mass. were making their
annual visit so we had a big family
sociable. The day was fine and the
evening splendid. Forty or more en-
joyed bountiful dinner, where the
Dreezes could fan us but old Sol
would not scorch us. Pitching quoits
was well attended to during the day,
and two mines were formed for a
game of base ball in the P. M. Ac-
cidently three Democrats were on
one side and were beat Z to 8. We
had quite an exhibition of fireworks
in the evening, with roman and union
candles, rockets, wheels, star mines,
&C. But, alas, nothing earthly seems
to be perfect. Two were not feeling
well and could not fully enjoy the
good time; and about dark horse
from Brattleboro got loose and start
ed for home but was captured late in
the evening. Mother, who will be
70 in November was somewhat lame
and could not enjoy the picnic as well
as she did last year.
Thanking our friends for their pa
thence in reading this a week too late
we bid them goodbye.

THERE is no office In the State that is
being more fiercely fought for than that
of State dairy commissioner. The but
ter and cheese men of the State are
greatly interested in it. The only can
didates that are prominently to the
front, as yet, are H. c. Ives, the present
incumbent, and H. c. Howard, of Lake
Crystal, the former assistant commits
sioner. At largely attended meeting
of Minneapolis dealers Friday the
following motion was unanimously
adopted:
We heartily endorse H. G.. Howard for
the office of dairy commissioner for the
State of Minnesota. We do this from a
personal knowledge of his services
while holding the Office of assistant dairy
com missioner of the State in persistent
ly and successfully driving from our
markets spurious dairy goods; and we
believe that his efficient services are de-
serving of recognition, and We further
believe that his appointment to the i'm
portant office would meet the approval
of large majority of those engaged in
the manufacture and handling of dairy
products.
This is certainly valuable testimonial
for Mr.. Howard. If Mr.. Merriam de-
cides to make change in the Office Of
Dairy Commissioner he certainly can
have no reason to::appoint any one else
than Mr.. Howard.

As To Mr.. Washburn, from the unsali-
ed sea on the north to the prairies of
Iowa on the south; from the Father of
Waters on the east to the borders of our
DISTINGUISHED sister on the west; from
city and country; from mines and work
shops, comes up the cry, Hes all
right" There is wave of popular SEN
timent In his favor that will carry him
tc the Senate as Harrison goes to the
White House-triumphantly.-
ReueiUe.
If Gen. Washburn is composed of the
rugged sstuff represented, and has any
sound sense, the above gush must be
very distasteful to him. But whether 1t
Is or not, he had better see that it is
stopped forthwith. for the most adaman-
tine political boom ever known couldn't
stand n-sny such sIckening doses.

sabln wIiI SUCCEED HimseIf.

Winnebago City Press-Ners: While a
great effort is being made at present to
give Mr.. Washburn a newspaper boom,
1t is extremely doubtful ifhe can be cleo
ted to the United States Senate by such
means. In fact II looks already as If the
boom" had spent its force and re-ac-
ton had set in. If we understand cor
recfly the wishes OF a majority of farm
ers of this section they are not, by any
means, longing for Railroad President
To be placed in position where he can
make laws to suit his own and other rail-
road corporations. But on the contrary,
man is wanted who will favor and vote
for measures in the interests of the peo-
pie rather than corporations. A public
servant must be judged by his official
acts. they being the main thing in which
his constituents are concerned. In this
connection it may not be amiss to state
that during his six years in the United
States Senate every measure in favor of
the people has received the support and
vote ex-senator Sabin; and for this reas-
on those now actively engaged i'm decry-
ing him, dare not attack his official re-
cord. We believe, Notwithstanding the
clamor, that Senior Sabin will succeed
himself. At least in all fairness he ought
TO. As personal friend of Harrison,
he will have additional influence with
the incoming administration--in fact 1t
is conceded he will have more prestige
than any other man in the state, and ii
must be apparent that with such state
of affairs existing, the people of Mime
sofa would receive far greater benefits in
the reelection of Senator Sabin than
from any opponent in the field against

Sabin's Record Unassailable.

Pipestone Stdr.-To be more plain
about it, the Star desires to give the
Herald TO understand that the people OF
Pipestone county are not for Mr.. Wash
burn for United States Senator. 1.-THE
coming contest is to be narrowed down
to Mr.. Sabin and Mr.. Washburn, the
people of this section are in favor of Mr..
Sabin.
And we do not give this as our opinion
merely, but after careful investigation
of the feelings of people, well up in the
knowledge of Minnesota men, from a
residence of thirty-fve years in the
State, and this expression of feeling is
not gwen to liquidate any past orpresent
political grudges against any of Mr..
Washburn's adherents, but for good and
sufficient reasons of interest to the
whole people of this district, of which
we shall have more to say in the near
uture.
Mr.. Ssbln's record in the United
States Senate on hehalf of the people
and of this great State of Minnesota is
unassailable. His only misfortune now,
apparently, seems to be that he does
not reside in the city of Minneapolis,
and it looks at this distance as though
this misfortune will follow any man
who aspires TO the United States Sena-
torship, unless the legislature forcibly
demonstrates that st. Paul and Mime
apolis are in Minnesota, instead of Min
nesota being in st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis.

THE Railroad and Warehouse Com
missIoners in November sent out cir
cular to different railway companies OPP
Grating both in and outside of Minneso
Ia, inquiring into the best means of heat
ing and lighting passenger and sleepin,
cars with special reference to the safet,
of passengers from accident by fire. The
replies which have been received viii
form the basis of report to the legisla
ture. The questions covered WIDE
range, asking for the number of passen
ger cars belonging to and operated 10y
the railroads; how many were equipped
with common car stoves, Baker heater,
or other systems of warming by hea
generated within the car; how many
trains were heated by steam from the
locomotive boiler; what experiment.
we're being made, etc. The replies re-
ceived show that the old car stove hal
by no means been abolished, while the
Baker and other heaters are in genera
use. The concensus of opinion among
the managers is that no good method o.
steam heating has been devised, or If il
has that 1t has not been experimental
with sufficiently 10 prove it. A few are
found who pronounce steam heat sue
cess, but others point out that the dan
ger to passengers in case of accident
from steam pipes is equal to that from
stoves. A point made by one manager
is that the action of the legislatures in
different States on the heating of railway
cars may Cash.

thusiastic exponent of the Sabin boom

who commands such attention and
Yields such universal influence. He Of

sion, for several days. When be returns
the pigeonholes in his desk are full OF
measures pending. Mr.. Sabin gathers
them up and presents them and no 9th
er senator meets with such general sup
port from the members Of the senate.
1t ia marvellous 10 note how many meas
ures Senator Sabin can push through in
a short space of time. lie has won bis
popularity by avoiding all opposition and
by system OF cooperation"
This is worth thousand times more
than the prejudiced ranting Of persons
who never saw Senator Sabin and have
no real knowledge of the things they
talk about.

SATISFIED WITH sARIN.

Senator ID. NJ. Sabin is again candi-
date for the senate. There has been
many names suggested for the position,
but of late the contest has narrowed
down to two, ID. M. Sabin and w. ID.
Washburn. For while it seemed that
the latter gentleman waste have a walk
over, but this was caused by the fact
that the daily press of st. Paul and Min
neapolis as usual was working for resi-
dent of those cities and did lots of blow
ing. Since the election there has been
a change. The country papers are dis
posed to speak their minds quite freely,
and express themselves satisfied that
Sabin has been faithful senator, true
to his party, and looking after the inter.
ests of the State. The people of south
ern Minnesota are consistent. They de-
feated a candidate for congress whom
they considered representative of the
railroads. Mr.. Washburn is a we'll
known railroad man, and the people
propose to defeat him. Sabin is well
thought of in this part of the State, and
in Fillmore county in particular.-Spring

completed, contains an unofficial list of
the members of the Fifty-irst Congress.
The list was completed with great care
bv w. HI. Michaels, clerk of the Senate
committee on printing, by personal cor
respondence with the returning officers
of each of the several states, and with
the candidates who have received GER
tificstes. 1t gives the Republicans the
House by majority of five, the parties
according to his estimates standing les
Republicans to 100 Democrats. Mr..
Michaels gives each party two members
for West Virginia. The Third Tonnes

In this district the Governor of the
state has been enjoined from giving q
certificate to Mr.. Evans, the Republican
candidate, who has majority on the
face of the returns.

! SENATOR SABIN Thursday offered an
amendment to the tariff bill reducing
the duty on lumber so per cent. or rath-
er from 81 to 81 per thousand feet. The
impression prevails that the amendment
will pass the Senate and House both.
Sabln's amendment is in harmony with
Republican sentiment as expressed in
the tariff debate last summer. There is
hardly Democr,t who will oppose the
amendment, yet it may meet with oppo-
sition from the delegation from Maine,
who want the highest possible tariff Oh
the article. Senator Sabin's efforts in
the direction of a reduction of the duty
on lumber are in accord with the desire
of Minnesota turner's and other citizens
and show him to be watchful of the in.
terests of those whom he represents.
