ADULTERATED FOOD.

1t is assuring to note in the report of
the state dairy commissioner that in his
Investigations he has found no adulter
ations in the important culinary ele-
ments OF butter, flour, sugar and bread.
If dyspepsia or other annoyance to the
physical economy ensues in the use of
these articles, there is cheerful pre-
sumption that it is due to other cause
than adulteration. But the roll is small
for the demands of the appetite, and no
other important articles are enumerated
in the long list in which there is basis
for reasonable faith i'll their purity.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3l.-A protracted con-
ference was held to-day between the
officials of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road and the grievance commit
tee OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, with view to a settlement
of the differences between the company
and the engineers, who have been on
strike for many months. No conclusion
was reached, and the conference was adj
JOurned until Tomorrow. After the adj
jOurnment of the conference Writ DeX-
ter, solicitor for the road. said that the
meeting was only an informal one, and
that simply general talk was the re.
suit. He said, however. that the com.
mittee would meet the officials again
tomorrow, and it was almost
certainty that the trouble would be
patched up then. 1t is the general
opinion that at the meeting tomorrow
the committee, on behalf of the brother
hood, will declare the strike off, and
such Of the strikers as can be employed
will be given employment. In speaking
Of the strike to-day, a Texas g. Rio

The brotherhood has grown tired Of sup.

obtain work, and entered so strong a protest
against it that it was decided by the brother

PROTECT CoLoRED VOTERS.

1t might be inferred from republican
papers that there was no interference
with voting by colored people in any
part of the South, except by Democrats.
There is intimation that an extra ses-
sion of the legislature will be called in
Virginia, and one of the main objects
named is for the better protection of
colored voters in the right to vote. 1t is
fact not controyerted Ill that state
that in many localities negroes who
want to vote the Democratic ticket, or
are suspected of such an intention. are
treated to visitations like those that
have been credited to KukluX and
White Caps. Among the outrages re-
ported are dragging from beds and
whipping at night, burning of houses
and barns, gripping of cattle, etc. 1t is
believed that more rigid legal measures
are needfuI to protect the voter. White
men freely vote the Republican ticket
in that state, and the colored voter
should be protected from the intolerance
and brutality of his brethren.

TO PHYLLIS.
Ia letter.

A Letter.
O Love. when last among the flowers
Beneath the moorland copSe we met
How lightly fed the golden hours!
Dost thou forget?
Or are the dreams, that then were ours,
Remembered yet?
The eyes that dimmed the wild blue bell,
Full well ween, are still as blue;
But, if their slave again should tell
Her tale of rue,
o would they now their healing spell
Exert anews
The cheek where rose and lily met
AS rivals for the mastery
Is still as fair; but could yet,
By soft decree,
The triumph of the rose abet,
Though transiently?
The theft that brought so heavy blame
Upon me then, aud chiding chill,
Is treasured fast-the lock may shame
The sunbeam still;
Most like my love, it is the same
Through good and i'll.
The spray that thou wo,llst scarce accept
(Of hawthorn petals. pale as SNOWY
In some forgotten nook has slept,
Or. long ago,
With other such aside was swept
IT'S withered now.
o by each bird that sings his mate,
By every bud that greets the day,
BY all things lovely and elate.
Thou Loyeliest say
Thou wilt not mete my heart the fate
Of that poor spray.

POPULATION OF THE STATE.

POPULATION OF THE STATE.
Even as careful an authority as the
Moorhead News estimates the popula-
ton of the Fifth congressional district
on the basis of 5.s3 as the multiplier Of
the vote of the late election. This would
give population of 346, 500, emitting it
to two representatives and large sur
plus fraction. This ratio would give the
Fourth district population of 4sO,234,
and should entitle it to three members
of congress, with something to spare.
But the multiple is much too large for a
state where voting is done on five
months residence and first papers.
There are several of the larger cities
where there IS less than five population
to the voter, and the non-voting element
is always larger in cities than in the
country. The total vote of the state was
263, 2s5, and multiplying by 5 gives
1916, 425. which is liberal estimate of
the population of the state.

Ole A. Dokkebokken was born in Nor

was also born in Norway, April g, 1903.
They bid farewell to Christiaina, their
birthplace, in 1858, and embarked for

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 31.-Sheriff
Krumbhaar received from Harrisburg

handing him to summon the Western
Union and Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph
companies before the Dauphin county

a controlling interest of the Baltimore
q Ohio Telegraph company, and still
holds the Same-2S,75O shares of the
capital stock of the par value of S.
S75,00O-and paid therefor S5,000,0 900;
that the Baltimore g. Ohio company was
a competing line in this state with the
Western Union, and that its stock. line
and franchises were by reason of the
sale forfeited to the state. For the same
reason the attorney general claims de-
cree of forfeiture and escheat of the
line, property and franchises of the
Western Union company in this state.
The attorney general also claims for.
fixture of the line, franchises and prop
erty of the Baltimore 81 Ohio Telegraph
Company of Pennsylvania because of
such purchase and consolidation. The
recent triumph of the Garrett interest
in the election of the new Baltimore 81
Ohio president is believed by many to
account for the suit. but it is stated on
authority that the attorney general has
taken the step of his own free will, and
would have moved in the matter over a
year ago had he been in possession OF
positive proof.

WHAT THE YEARS TEACH.

The new year, with its bright pros
poets and its good resolutions, is here.
There is nothing left of the old year but
its memories. They may be pleasant,
or they may be of disagreeable nature.
But, whatever they are, the old year to
you was largely what you made it. And
so it will be with the new year. If you
want it to die away like the old one did,
leaving ashen memories behind, you
can have it that way without much tron-
BILE. You will find, as Paul and Virginia
did in their childish effort to do an actof
kindness to one of earth's humblest ones,
how easy it is to go wrong and how diff
ficult it is to do good. But, if you want
the new year to die away as the old one
did for so you many, leaving behind the
perfume of sweet incense, then you
have to do as they did-cultivate the
sweet graces of contentment. devotion
to duty. loyalty to friends. industrious
habits, honorable conduct and a regard
for truth and honesty. As in physics.
observation of and obedience to the few
primary principles which form their
laws are essential to success, so in this
life of ours. the same rule follows
everywhere in all our relationS-that to
proceed with usefulness and safety our
conduct must be based upon true prir-
ciples. There can be no better New
Years resolution than the resolve to
adopt and practice the golden rule in all
business and domestic affairs.
The years. at best, are hard teachers,
and impart many sad lessons. They
teach us that earth is not our abiding
place, that it is not our treasure house,
that earth has not the pity for us that
we dreamed. To many the years are
sad teachers. They picture to US barks
drifting out from the harbor of love.
laden with our choicest treasures, ever
going away from us, driven by the sullen
wind to the shores Of the unseen land.
They teach us that there is no earthly
island where evil will not come, and
cave, wherein councils Of sin are
held and stolen goods buried from sight.
But these are not all that the passing
years disclose. They teach some bright
lessons, and some that are full of COM
fort. They have taught us that there is
such thing as faith on earth, inno-
cence and purity. They have unfolded
to many stricken hearts the glorious
truth that while sorrow may endure for
the night joy cometh with the morning.
There is a star tbatshines upon the soul
through the clouds of earth, bringing to
the human heart more grateful cheer
than the harbor light to the storm-tOssed
mariner. Instead Of turning away from
its light, letus catch every sunbeam that
steals into the chambers of the soul, and
instead of turning a deaf ear to every
bird that sings without let us rather
feast upon their melodies as ingredi-
ents of that exquisite delight which
shall make for our eternal health. The
years. after all, are what we make them.

If THE Holman bill to restrain the

rigor of such restraints already found

cation of such statements would have
