The sugar mill at Attica, Kan, has
produced thus far this season from sor-
ghum cane 10000 pounds of pure cry
stalized sugar. The fact being estab-
lished that sugar of excellent quality
can be manufactured from sorghum the
only remaining problem to be solved is
that of the cost of production, or wheth-
er it can be made profitable industry
at price competitive with the foreign
article. The Chicago Inter Ocean has
great faith that, eth n from sugar cane,
beets, or sorghum, this country will at
some time not remote manufacture its
own sugar and surplus besides. The
sugar trust must go.

The Anoka Herald strikes mai on its
head in the following:
A few of the state papers, for want OF
something better to kick about, are
agitating the question of suppressing the
Normal schools and giving the aid which
they would receive to the State Uniyers-
ity. The argument is that the benefit of
the Normal schools is largely local. This
is trne in limited measure, and IN a
greater degree of the University. The
same thing might he brought up against
the State high schools, yet no sane per-
son would think of advising the leglsla-
ture TO do away with the appropriation
for these high schools. Tue fact is the
Normal schools are OF more direct bene-
fit To the state than the University.

date of organization.
Such companies were organized to
furnish fat salaried offices for their or
ganizers, and the sooner the public
knows it the better. We have in Man
kato building and loan organization
which has no salaried officers, and whose
expenses amount to but trifie. The
profits to the members actually realized
each year are from sixteen to eighteen
per cent on the money paid in, and there
is no possible way to defraud the inno-
cent stockholders, even were the officers
anxious to do SO, which they are not,
as they are among our most trusted bus
mess men. The moral Is to refuse to
take stock from the agents of various
outside companies who frequently come
to Mankato, but rather to patronize the
home company.

AGMATTER FOR THE COUNCIL

The following letter from member
of the Holly Manufacturing Co., from
whom the city pump was purchased Al

conditions that it would guarantee the

DEAR SIR: am in receipt of some
clippings In regard to your recent fire,
also in regard to the chief engineer, Mr..
Morse. Upon receipt of these clip
pings, l wrote to our expert who had
charge of the testing Of the engine at
Mankato, to enquire as to the ability of
this engineer to operate the pumping
machinery, l did not receive very
fiattering report in this respect, and as
the Holly Company are under guarantee
with the city of Mankato for the pump
ing machinery for one year, / do not
think that the city of Mankato can hold
the Holly company for any damages
that may occur to the pumping machin-
Oif cO iohS 40 tbCy uiotIuC dh
ent man to manage and run il. In
speaking as ] do, speak not only for
the interests of the Holly company, but
for the interests of the city of Mankato,
for in this respect our interests must Re
identical. II Is to the interest of the
Holly company that their machinery
should be handled by competent men,
as we depend upon the running and sat
isfactory operation of each of our engines
for the sale of others in their Immediate
neighborhood; it is also to the interest
of the city of Mankato that the machin-
cry should be handled by competent
men that 1t may be always ready to re-
spond to fire service, or any other call,
but if handled by incompetent engi-
neers it may cause the city large loss in
the wav of damage by fire or large bill
of repairs to the engine.
Therefore if the reports as stated in
the papers, and the reports of our engi
neer are correct, we must protest against
having the machinery left in charge of
Mr.. Morse as engineer.

She Wished to- Sell a Library.

One of our most genial auctioneer's
eyes have q half wicked twinkle as he
relates "good one" which was play
ed on him the past week. He was
tired and the weather was sultry, but
when he came into dinner his amiable
wife said that Mrs. A. had called and
wanted him to como over to her house
right away" as she had some books to
sell.
80, thunderi" said he: Il can't go
over there now; it's hot and good
half mile"
80, but you must, my dear; as
sured her you would come over at
once after dinner"
Dinner over, the auctioneer posted
off to the lady's house, where something
like the following dialogue cnsued:
Auctioneer-Mis. A., l understand
you have some books you want to
sell.
Mrs. 40, yes; how much will
you give me for them?
Auctioneer-Wcll, really, Mrs. A.,
I should have to see them. Where are
they2

yet, but they are around the house and
Iwant to dispose of them. How much
do you think you could give9

Tho Swiftcst Fish,

/ asked an old salt the other day
which was the swifter, flying fish or
a dolphin. why, a dolphin, Of
course. l have seen it proved. One
day our ship was in the doldrums
near the equator, and all hands were
lolling about deck grumbling and
whistling for q breeze. / had just
gone aloft, and, standing upon the
topgallant crosstrees, with my body
resting upon the royal yard, was look
ing off on the starboard beam. ] saw
flying fish spring up out of the
water, followed by dolphin, and both
made straight for the ship. When they
arrived at the vessel the dolphin went
under and the flying fish went over,
dropping square into the dolphin's as
he struck the water on the other side
The ship drew eighteen feet of water
and only about nine feet above water,
so l say, in this case, the dolphin was
the swifter fish. "-Martha's Vineyard

BY tho fever's scorching breath,
booming multitudes to death.

Rested on the little town
Not an engine Stacked its speed
To rcl.cve the awful need.
For the order stern was given
That the iron horse be driven
At his very swiftest pace
Through the fever stricken place
But there came an evening, when
Mong the passengers were men
Wearing on their breast the sign
OF o ministry divine

Emblem that they knew no fear,
Counted not tlreir own lives DEAR

Pitchy darkness all around;
