Congressman Haugen has the fol-
lowing to offer on politics: LET me
say this; the ScandiDavians are not
going to vote for such a man as Cleve-
Land against simple, earnest, honest
man like Ben Harrison. He is the
type of men they admire, and he will
receive their support"

The Ladies Cornet Band of this
city gave a lemonade ana ice-cream
social at Bracket Hall last Saturday
evening. As reminder of the event
about to take place the band discours-
ed sweet music through the streets
from a carriage in the afternoon, and
in the evening continued their melo-
dies at intervals in the hall. The at
tendance was large and the receipts
quite satisfactory. That the band did
excellent execution, considering the
brief period they have been in train
ing, was the unanimous verdict.
The cause of education, especially
in the department of manual training
is advancing very rapidly--much more
so than those not directly interested
in it can realize. At the Minneapolis
Exposition this fall there will be a
very extensive show of educational
work from various schools and col
leges and prizes will be given for the
best work of individual pupils in vaTi-
Gus departments. The manual train
ing in Minneapolis schools are doing
some wonderful carpentry and ma
chinists work, and at the State Uni
versity the School of Mechanic Arts
is equipped as completely as any man
ufacturing establishment. The work
turned out in these schools will do
more to educate American youth TO
believe that work with the hands is a
creditable thing than all the spoken
or written sermons of a century can do.
We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Normal School in this is.
