MADISON LAKE.

As the season for "day OFF, has ar
rived, and as the business and profess
sional men with their families are seek
ing places of quiet and rest where the
wearing cares of everyday life may be
put aside for brief period, 1t is but
meet that attention should be directed
to a spot within an hours ride from
Mankato where the full enjoyment of
the lake breeze may be had, accompan-
led with all the home-comforts desired.
Such place is Point Pleasant, Madison
Lake.
Mrs. ]. NJ. Barclay has taken posses
sion of the Point, and the excellent
taste displayed in her home life ID WISH
BILE upon every hand. The hotel has been
thoroughly overhauled and made to
present an inviting appearance hereto
fore lacking in many essentials. A cosey,
sitting room with piano, mirrors, car
pet, easy chairs, etc., ETC., is placed at
the disposal of visitors and no pains is
spared by the little lady who presides
to make guests feel entirely Eat home"
and one has only to call to be convinced
that he is thrice welcome. All of the
cottages have been thoroughly renovat-
ed, refurnished and made comfortable
and convenient. This particular feature
of the lakes equipments has been sadly
wanting in the past, and the public will
not be slow to appreciate the efforts of
Mrs. Barclay in providing such family
comforts 80 much needed at place OF
this character. Several new boats have
been added to the fleet, and all are
painted up handsomely and kept in a
state of cleanliness not to be excelled.
Fishing tackle, also, may be had when
desired, and the schools of the finny
tribe which abound 80 plentifully in the
lake are greedy for the anglers hook.
Stable accommodations are in keeping
with other things about the premises
and every attention is paid to this de-
partment.
Lastly, and with many, the most i'm
portant of all, is the menu prepared by
the landlady. This feature, while every
thing else Is all that could be desired,
is, to the notion of the writer, deserv-
ing of most praise. One Is never salts
fed with himself unless the stomach be
properly provided for, and this being
true Mrs. b. has certainly the most hap

her tables go their way full of good feel

OF woULp-eE ROBBERS

The three men who attempted to break
into b. Kohler's shoe store Thursday
morning were located at place little
north of the city Thursday afternoon.
Chief Fowler and Constable Robel rode
out about o'clock to arrest them and
found them in gang of fifteen other
tramps. The latter fed and the officers
secured one of the men that they want

do something. He hit the tramp across

little further judicious use Of the cane,
all three tramps were taken to the lock-

nome Foot in the Grave. !"

How often do we hear the above said
of some poor pilgrim Ger life's thorny
path, whose lettering step, palled face,
unnatural glitter of the eve and hacking
cough, and its accompanying involuntary
pressure of the hand over the lungs, the
seat of the dread disease--consumption
that causes the remark? Too frequent
ly, alas! and in the interests of such un-
fortunates this is penned, to assure them
that their steps need tend no longer
toward that narrow receptacle that
awaits all-that is, until life's allotted
space is covered-from any such cause.

The Cambria iron works, the great in
dustry of Johnstown, originated in few
widely separated charcoal furnaces built
by pioneer iron workers in the early
years of the century. As early as 1903
General Arthur st. Clair engaged in the
iron business, and erected the Hermit
tage furnace about sixteen miles from
the present site of YOUNGSTOWN. In 1909
the working of ores was begun near
Johnstown. These were primitive fur.
naces, where charcoal was the only fuel
employed, and the raw material and
product were transported entirely on
wagons, but they marked the beginning
of the manufacture of iron in this coun-
try,

NO TIME FOR FARLEY.

The action of Mayor Pfau Wednesday
in calling 4 meeting of citizens to take
steps toward securing funds for the
relief of the Pennsylvania sufferers
should be followed promptly by liberal
contributions from our citizens. No
such a calamity ever before land hands
upon a community in this country and
those who have been favored in life's
Journey should not hesitate TO show their
sympathy for the distressed in a substan-
tiaI manner. Do not wait to see what
your neighbor Is going to do, but set the
example by doing yourself. There is
horrible catastrophe are dying by scores
from starvation and exposure. He who
has and will not give under such dis
tressing circumstances is not fit to draw
out an existence in a. Christian land.
Every individual should contribute
something-howeye small the sum.
Every organized body in the city should
be prompt in responding to the call for
alu, anu the dCllou VI w lihlu OStJ W. ~
r., last evening, Is an example not only
highly commendable and worthy OF
emulation, but the act emanates from a
body of men whose very hearts blood
has been given for liberty-and they
know the horrors of privation and want.
Contributions from many of the larger
cities of the country have been princely,
and those TO come from the towns and
villages, if promptly forwarded, will
place the unfortunate sufferers beyond
want until they shall be able to help
themselves.
One hundred men in Mankato can be
called upon VINO should willingly give
five dollars each, which sum, together
with other contributions would place the
amount at 81 900. This is little enough
for a city of 1000 people to appropriate
20 cause so humane in its character.
Give, and give freely.

"rne Best is Good Enough"

The man who said: "The best is good
enough for me-" may have been an
egoist, but he had the merit of frank
ness at least. The motto of "The Bur-
lington" is: "0nly the best is good
enough for our patrons" and acting on
that motto it has the best track, the best
grades, the best coaches, sleepers and
dining cars, the best connections, the
best time, and reaches all the best cities
in the West. Its employees are required
to courteous and accommodating, and
the management endeBvors to arrange
all the matters of the train service so
that the passenger shall feel he is re-
ceiving the best of attention, and that he
is in the hands of the best railroad cor.
porafion he ever patropized. The con
stantly increasing business done by this
line, and the popularity it has already
acquired in the great Northwest, show
its motto to be a taking one. For maps

The recent row and reign of anarchy
in Hayti has, if latest reports are true,
ended in the capture of Port-au-PrInce
by the followers of General Hippolyte
and the defeat of his rival, Legitime.
The Northern general has assumed
charge of national affairs, and will, 1t
may be presumed, order new election
for the settlement of the government of
the little republic. In this case, the
world has desired a settlement of some
kind. 1t has cared little who has sue
ceeded, but it wanted some one to step
in and give peace TO community which
is of considerable Importance TO the
commercial world. That point is now
apparently reached, and 1t is probable
that the profits of commercial enterprise
will again enrich this unfortunate island.
