Inventor Of the Catcher's Mask.

Fred Thayer not only inscribed his name
on the tablet OF great Harvard ball play
srs,n but he did more than that. The catch
sr's mask was the creation Of Fred Thayers
Yankee ingenuity. 1t came about In this
way; After catching Ernst for season,
Tying went to Thayer and said he would not
stand up any longer and run tho risk OF hav-
ing his face stove in. Thayer bad no alter
native. He must either devise some protec-
zion for Tyng's face or lose him as catcher.
Why not cover the face with cagei thought
the quick witted captain. No sooner did the
idea occur to him than he went to work 70
carry it out. He spent his spare time in
bending wires and experimenting until he
had constructed the first catcher's mask ever
used 1t was a primitive affair as compared
with the masks of today, but it answered the
purpose and kept Tying behind the bat That
original mask was hanging in George
Wright's office the last time was there.
Fred Thayer is now making money in the
wool business in Boston Boston Globe.

The citizen who goes TO the polls
next November with the intention of
voting the whole ticket might as we'll
make up his mind to spend a good
portion of the day there. Under the
new election law, the candidates for
for the various offices, such as county
state, congressional and judicial,
must be voted for on separate tickets.
Hence this year each voter will be
required to vote six distinct tickets,
ELECTORAL" estate" Congressional"
Legislative, judicial" and "coun-
ty." If complete returns are gotten
within a week from every township
in the county, it will be wonderous
indeed. And the persons who serve
as judges and clerks will be entitled
to every cent, which the law allows,
this year if at no other time.

What Say the Purists?

A new verb, to ''ante-pone, has become
a claimant for public adoption. It evil
IDENTIFY avoids the roundabout way in
which, by several words of sentence, we
have been in the habit Of expressing the
idea which is the opposite of that con-
tanned in the accepted word postpone. {"
This means to place after, in. point of
time; "ante-pone' means to place before,
in point of time-s It is correctly formed
from two Latin words, and, in literary
point of view, can scarcely be objected to-.
It will be more condensed and shorter
mode of expression to use single words
such as "ante-pone," ''ante-poned;,' -
'.ante-poning' and "ante-ponement,,' -
than to write, as heretofore, sentences
stating that specified things which had
been fixed for certain date were to come
off on date prior to the one originally
intended One word will satisfactorily
contain the whole idea.-Newport News.

The supreme court of the state of
Minnesota handed down an important
decision last Friday. The decision
sustains the commission in ordering
a reduced rate on milk on the Mil
waukee road. This was made q test
case, and by their disposition of it,
the supreme court decides that the
railway commissioners have the right
to fix railroad rates in this state that
shall be equal and reasonable and, az
ter ordering accordingly, the railroads
must obey. Unfortunately, the case,
in all probability, will be taken to the
supreme court of the United States
and an aggravating delay will occur
before the question at issue will be
finally adjudicated in the interests OF
the people.

Fate of an Indian Doctor.

The Hot Creek Indians have sum-
mary way of treating their physicians
when they fail to cure their patients. The
relatives of the deceased are justified in
killing him. A case of the kind occurred
recently. Miss Madge related how the
woman that washed for them lost her hus-
band, and before he died he told his wife
that he could not rest in peace unless she
killed the doctor, al old squaw who had
practiced among them many years. The
considerable wife. left his bedside just at
dawn, and, stealing into the wigwam Of
the doomed woman, dropped slip moose
round her neck and jerked it quickly
tight, so that it was impossible for her
victim to utter q sound louder than q hor-
rible gurgle.
The wife afterward described the whole
CHASTITY circumstance with a fidelity that
proved her keen enjoyment Of the agony
of the wretched sqr1aw. She explained in
vivid pantomime just how she continued
to tighten the moose by peculiar witch.
ing motion, while she dragged the with
ing creature round and round the room.
When she had at last ceased to struggle,
the wife returned to her appeased lord,
who breathed his last with a tranquiliZ-
ing sense that he had brought about q
noble vindication of his death.-Ninetta

Two years ago the cry, "ring candi-
date", was raised against Hon. &. A.
Gilman andnumerous counties, de-
luded by 1t, were led to send anti
Gilman delegates to the state con-
vention. In that convention, Mr..
Gilman was shown to be anything
but "ring" candidate and many
who had opposed him, upon learning
more Of the character of the man and
the character of his support, regretted
the action they had taken. It seems
to be the general impression that Mr..
Gilman is taking no part in political
work this year, but should he at any
time become a candidate for the
governorship again, many who
formerly opposed him will be found
among his supporters. 1t is safe to
say that Mr.. Gilman is stronger than
he was two years ago.

It is very plain that Hon. Knute
Nelson wishes to retire from public
life and devote himself to his lucra-
tive, though neglected, law practice.
The salary of a congressman is so
low, when the cost of Lying in Wash
ington is considered, that an honest
man who desires to accumulate q
competence for himself and family,
Is making great financial sacrifice
to accept that position. This fact will,
perhaps, afford an insight into one of
the reasons why Mr.. Nelson wishes
to retire. This objection to the office
or congressman also applies to the
higher office of II. S. senator. It is
reasonable to suppose, then, that the
same reason which impels Mr.. Nelson
to be relieved from the duties of q
congressman, will prevent his desir-
ing to assume those of senator
There is another side to this, how
ever. Much as Mr.. Nelson has done
for himself, it cannot be denied that
the Republican party has done great
deal for him. It has kept him before
the public and has given him oppor-
tuniy for making the national reputa-
ton which he now enjoys. This puts
Mr.. Nelson under obligation to his
party, and those VINO know him best
say that he is the last man to disre-
gard the obligation. If it appears
that it is the wish of the Republicans
of Minnesota that he 60 to the u. 8.
Senate Tor that he take the governor
ship and an election be offered him, it
is altogether probable that he will ac-
cept, even though 1t result to his
financial disadvantage. The TRIB-
UNE believes that the Republicans OF
this state will demand Mr.. Nelson's
services still farther, and no matter
how strong the wish to retire to pri-
vate life, that he will be promoted
and retained in Office for quite q
nomber Of years TO come.

The uncovered seats on the shady side,
especially those affected by the youth and
students of the town, were closely packed

by hundred or more of Andalusians, in

spasmodic progress Of q neighing and
kicking horse.
The detestable medley of slang and
dialects rose up like the kissing of some
coarse and malodorous fry as It SINNERS

coarse oath as she insolently forced her
way through the crowd, diffusing mixed
perfume Of musk and garlic; and the

doubt reach the ears of some official Of the

perhaps the president Of the council. -

Senator II. e. Hoard, of Monte

fed with results produced by the
operation of the law, framed by him
and passed by the last legislature,
providing for the holding of farmers
institutes. The institutes wherever
held are a source of information to
farmers and stimulate thought and a
spirit of inquiry, resulting in expert
ments by which farmers improve
their methods Of work and continue
to learn even after the institute itself
is we'll nigh forgotten. The institute
also leads farmers to have greater

1t has been for some time no secret
that the farmers Of Minnesota and
Dakota were about to organize an ele-
.yator canlpa pyor syndicate to be con-
trolled by the Farmers A lliance. For
many years the farmers have been
loud in their complaints over the Ills
they have suffered ut the hands Of the
elevator companies. Protests and
petitions have alike been of no avail
and as last resort they have organic
ed company of their own, which 10
known as the Scandinavian Elevator
Company. The principal officers are
in Minneapolis and Duluth. The In
corporations of the company with the
names of the incorporators, has al
ready been briefly mentioned in the
Journal. The object of the company
is to get wheat from tho farmers to
the millers at the lowest cost OF
handling and in its purity as grown,
It is asserted that all of the wheat,
except that used in Minneapolis, be-
comes mixed in course of transit, and
that it is impossible for miller
in an Eastern or foreign market tG
get pure No. hard wheat. This mix
ing greatly reduces it's commercial, 81
we'll as its milling value. In conse
quence of this mixing large ant
illegitimate profits are secured by in
termediate handlers to the great losi
OF the farmers and millers. By nav
ing an elevator company composed o
farmer and millers most interested II
the wheat, it is expected that the larg
margins in buying, the shortage II
weights, heavy dockage, undergrad
ing at interior points, depreciation b!
mixing In transit and the variou
other evils will be largely done ava.
with. While the company is no
composed exclusively of farmers til
Alliance will have control it. Som
Eastern millers will have stock, q
they are as interested in getting pur
wheat as the farmers are in selling
to them.
The Scandinavian Elevator Com
pany was incorporated about a mont
ago with $500, 600 capital. The presi
dent is III. L. Loucks, president of tn
Dakota Farmers Alliance. and tn
vice president is III. E. Boon, secre
tary of the Minnesota Alliance. Th
secretary is c. G. Walcott, formerl
of Larimore, OAK, who has been /
the commission business In Mime
apolis tor the past two years. Th
directors include, besides the officers
Eric Olson, w. D. Armstrong, A. Z
Lee and III. G. Lilleman. The con
pany has secured control Of the elevs
tor at Duluth, and it will build or
in Minneapolis in time to handle th
coming crop. 1t will also have ell
vators at Buffalo and other termin'
points. By the time the new crop bs
gins to arrive it is expected that tt
company will have 200 to 300 elev'
tors in the country.
