Parents should be careful that their
children do not contract colds during the
fall or early winter months. such colds
weaken the lungs, and air passages, max.
ing the child much more likely to con-
tract other colds during the winter. It
is this succession of colds that causes
catarrh and bronchitis or paves the way
for consumption. Should cold be con-
tracted, lose no time but cure it as
quickly as possible. A fiftv cent bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will
cure any cold in few days and leave the
respiratory organs strong and healthy.

Our esteemed and unreasonable con.
temporary is decidedly lntemperate In
his denunciation of the manner IN
which the census was taken In this city,
but we believe he Is almost alone in the
position he is attempting TO occupy.
There Is very little complaint about the
mstter.-Albert Lea Enterprise.
The Enterprise refers to the unjust
and harsh criticisms of the Standard ON
some of their enumerators. The fact ia
there is hardly CITY in the state but
that is disappointed in their count.
Austin is from 500 to 1900 below the
estimate Of q majority of our citizens.
There is very little complaint" the
Enterprise says, which is undoubtedly
true. No more than in Austin and other
places.

Good Advise From q Teacher.

In regard to the Office of our County
Superintendent; it is one of the utmost
Importance. For what should we be
more careful of than the supervision of
the education and training Of our youth? ?
| Gas the teacher is so is the school, and
in a measure as the Superintendent is so
is the teacher. It does not matter so
much what the politics of the Superin-
tendent should he so that he is the right
man for the place.
Political opinions and party affiliations
should have but little weight in the mat
ter. The County Superintendent of
today must be live worker, not only
conv ersant with the great advancements
that have been made in the art of teach
ing. but he needs to know what the
leading men in his profession think and
say. He ought to be posted in all the
currant educational news; to be Informed
concerning text books; to keep pace with
conventions and other associations.
1t is reasonable to insist that his attain.
ments and character shall be as high as
those of the best teachers under his
supervision.
Any one knowing the condition of our
district schools when our present Super.
intendent took charge of them, and the
grade of them at the present time can not
fail to see what can be accomplished by a
good Superintendent.
Under his supervision Mower county
has come to the front in educational
| work. The schools have been closely
graded. and many have started school
library. Through his influence many
pupils from the district schools have
entered the high school or other institu-
tions of learning.
What we need is that his successor be
able to take up the good work he has 40
ably begun and 60 on with it.
| A TEACHER.

THE ALLIANCE TICKET.

The Farmers Alliance at their conven-
ton last week, nominated full state
ticket, putting at the head as nominee for
governor, Editor S. NJ. Owen. of the
Farm, Stock and Home. Our readers
we'll know that we do not approve of in
dependent party movements to represent
the supposed interests of every class or
corporation. We believe that the Edi-
torial Association of the state or the
Merchants Association or any other such
body might just as we'll try to organize q
separate party. to help obtain their rights.
But of course, all are not of the same
mind. We are glad to see so worthy
leader chosen for the Alliance ticket as
Mr.. Owen. He is an honest man and true
to the farmers interest. He was for
many years a practical farmer and an
agricultural editor in Ohio. Five years
ago he came to Minnesota and established
the Farm, Stock and Home, which has
very large patronage among the farmers
of the state and which has ably followed
its savowed purpose of being strictly
agricultural paper. He has been for
twenty years prominent writer, and is
conservative on questions affecting labor
and capital. 1t would be an excellent
idea for all farmers to turn cold shoul-
der on such selfish political sheet as the
Great West and help support so worthy
a publication as the Farm, Stock and
Home. Our interests in this section of
the state are identical with those of the
agricultural classes. As they thrive. SO
do we. If they are wronged. all of us
suffer. We believe that the great
majority of those engaged in the Alliance
movement are sincere and honest in their
purpose to right their wrongs. Whether
some of their leaders, like Donnelly and
Fish, are worthy of their following is
very doubtful. 1t looks to country
editor exactly as if "Dr." Fish, for
example, had taken up the Alliance move
ment largely for revenue only. Look at
one of his financial schemes. He adver-
tises that he wants to raise about $50, 900
to run the present campaign for the far
mers. Out of this $5 lecture IS to be
paid to lecturers, of whom Fish is one.
Then he wishes to send out $4,000 copies
of the Great West to the farmers, proba-
bly, at fifty cents each, for three months.
Here goes into Fish's pocket something
like $4,000 campaign funds this fall.
Who wouldn't catch onto such bonanza
gold mine as that? We are glad to see
Fish set aside by the Alliance. He ad-
vises bolt from the ticket nominated.
This shows just how much he thinks OF
the true interests of the farmers.
The full list nominated on the Alliance
ticket is as follows:
Governor, s. NJ. Owen, of Hennepin
county.
Lieutenant Governor, J. o. Barrett,
Traverse county.
Secretary of State, N. We1senberg, St.
Louis county.
State Auditor, P. H. Rahilly. of Wa.

THE RECENT GIFT TO YALE.
1t Causes Rejoic1ng-ItW WILDE Highly
UJ&efn1.

There was joy among the Sheffield scien-
tifc school professors yesterday over the
news that Shelf is to get 800, 900, and
there is no doubt that the money will be of
much real service to the institution and
add to its prosperity.
Of the Fayerweather gift to Yale last
evenings New York Post says: The gift of
D. B. Fayerweather to Yale is said to be
far the largest unrestricted fund ever given
to the university. 1t comes at most op-
perfume time, as the university authorities
have been almost at their wits ends to
provide on the one hand for the instruc-
ton of the greatly increasing body of stu
dents, and on the other hand for the ex-
pansion of work due to the adoption of an
| enlarged elective system few years ago.
Treasurer Farnam is quoted as saying that
the sum will probably be used to endow
| new professorships, and the imperative
| need of instructors indicates the use to
which the new fund will probably be ap-
piled. Only 100000 of the fund is given
to the scientific school. The other $780,
900 is given to the college without restric-
| tons.
| What colleges need more than anything
else is money for their general funds. AS
President Dwight of Yale says: 'tWhile
the university is rich in scholarships, dor
mitories, buildings, libraries and Other
property, very little money has been pro
vided for general expenses. Therefore the
gift of Mr.. Fayerweather is looked upor
by the faculty as boon. 1t certainly viii
materially assist in supplying longfel
| want"
Yesterdays Hartford Courant says: TIL,
magnificent gift of $780, for Yale uni
versity, which is noted elsewhere, will b.
regarded by all Connecticut people a
cause for rejoicing. The great universit,
and the state are so closely allied that the,
have common cause. A special dispatcl
from New Haven to the Courant says tina
100000 is for the Sheffield Scientif
| school.

A Young Connecticut Clergyman's
Sudden Attack of Insanity.

Suuuuek7 AtIaCA OF 1nSanGGYs
Rev. Andrew L. Sawyer, the young
Episcopal clergyman who was taken sud
denly insane in New York, Monday, as an
nounced in our dispatches yesterday, was
little quieter yesterday, though at no
time had he been violent. He is in the in
sane ward at the Bellevue hospital. His
family live at Greenwich in this state
Mr.. Sawyer is a graduate of Yale college
and of the General Theological seminary of
New York. He had been preaching for
two years in Connecticut before he was
taken ill. He was only twenty eight years
old, and was graduated about five or six
years ago. His father is the Rev. Roland
Sawyers of Greenwich, and he has
brother who is q Presbyterian minister.
When in college he is said to have been
| unusually bright and talented.
At the hospital Sawyer told DR.. Doug
lass that they had sent him away from the
house because he wanted to marry young
| lady whom he met there, or wanted some
one to find him bride. He talked so in
coherently that the physician could gel
no clear idea as to the cause of the
trouble, and his friends were silent upon
| the subject. At the house of Mrs. Lee
yesterday morning IL was denied that MI
Sawyer had proposed to any young lady
or had insisted upon marrying anyone
but merely that his action had beer
strange and hisTtalk incoherent. He wa.
taken to the hospital from the house o.
Mrs. Helen Lee, GIT Madison avenue, where
he has been calling. He had only been il
New York a day, and had first gone to the
house of John L. Stearns, the silk mer
chant, an old friend of his father, at II
West Fifty-eighth street. He took Mr.
Stearn's family by surprise. His manner
and conversation were not those of san,
man. In the evening he went out to cal
upon Mrs. Lee, who was also an old frient
of his fathers family, and soon after Mr.
Stearns was sent for, the message stating
| Mrs. Lees house.
The warden of the asylum declined t,
permit anyone to see him, because tn
sight of strangers seemed to excite him
