SONE MISTAKE HERE.

The Evening Journal, OF Minneapolis
had the following special telegram from
Duluth under date OF Nov. 10Th, which
is, to say the least, inaccurate:
Ex-State Senator J. o. Milne, who was
in the senate with Kittcl Ha!vorsen, now
elected representative to congress, was
in the house. gives the Duluth Herald
the following interesting interview or
Halvorsen and his capabilities:
Il have known Hon. Kittel Halvorser
for a number of years. He is a man o.
medium size. dresses very plainly but
neatly and is a pleasant man to meet
He is man of strong personal conyic
tons, with moral backbone enough 70
stand by them; rather retiring, but not
easily confused; not a brilliant speaker
but a clear thinker aad strong hitter;
a hard worker and one who makes his
work count.
"He is not politician by profession
but believe him to be the peer of any
man in the Fifth district in the study o.
political economy, and he will he able to
Judge of the bearing any question may
have upon the interests of his constitu
ents, whether they live in Duluth OF
Stearns county.
mo. am not one Of those who be-
lieve the district would be better served
by either of the other candidates. Neither
am one OF those who believe that the
Mckinley bill is altogether to blame for
his election. should charge the blame
more to the unwise and unpopular man
ner Of controlling politics by few self
appointed would-be leaders in every
town. who have been able to control
public patronage in their own interests
until the people have sad no further
shalt thou go. This is the case in Polk
county. where every member of the ring
is LIT, from Mcclure down.
"Halvt rsen served in the state 1egisla-
ture in 1887. was also in the senate
at that time and know him well. had
occasion to look up his record pretty
closely at one time there, and was sur
prised at it. 1t is good"
IfMr. Milne, who was formerly resi-
dent of Kandota, and once represented
the old 41st district in the senate, is cor
rectly quoted, he is certainly laboring
under a great mistake in date. Mr..
Milne was senator in 1872 and Kittel
Halvorsen was representative III 1887,
consequently there is gap Of fifteen
years between their respective terms in
Office. Mr.. Milne has evidently mistaken
KitteI Halvorscn for some one else. No
one who knows Mr.. Halvorsen would
discribe him as of medium size, for he is
certainly far above the average man in
physical proportions. His integrity is
beyond question, but all this talk about
his being close student of politicalecon.
omy is bosl,-a claim he himself would
be the last to make. To raise HIM above
his real merits is not fair nor kind to him
for it places him in a false light, and
more will be expected Of him than either
he or his friends ever promised. One ofthe
most commendable traits of character
is his modesty, and bis friends have no
right to rob him of it.

A Wonder Worker,

Mr., Frank Huffman, young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be Consump-
ton andi ncurable. He was persuaded to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found before
he had used half of dollar bottle, that
he was much better; he continued to use
it and is today enjoying good health. If

Trouble tryit. Weguarantee satisfaction.

The Alliance, published at Elbow Lake,
raised the name of Kittei Halverson for
governor in 1892, and S. M. Owen for
successor to Cushman K. Davis in the
United States senate. Why not raise the
flag TO the top of the mast at once and
nominate Mr.. Halvorson for president
of the United States, under an amended
constitution which will relieve the disa-
bilities of birth?

WHAT Is
SCROFULA

It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta-
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.

A meeting will be held at the municipal
court room on Saturday afternoon next
at two o'clock by the directors of the
Spring Brook creamery associa lion for
the purpose of confering with the farm
ers relative to supply of cream. Every
farmer living in this vicining is specially
urged to be present, and It will be for
their interest to meet the directors. If
sufficient encouragement is given the
creamery will be opened at once. The
st. Cloud company is doing very pros
porous business, profitable to stock hold
ers and patrons, and there is no reason
why this one should not do equally as
we'll. This is matter of great inpor-
lance to both business mex and farmers,
and the meeting on Saturday should be
largely attended.

A new mail route is demanded between
this city and Grove Lake, by the way of
Lyman Prairie. The route was discon-
tinued couple of years ago, greatly to
the inconvenience of the people of this
city, Groye Lake and the intermediate
territory, and in it's place Grove Lake
was served from Fowlds, a station on
the $500" road. There was semi-weekly
service before, but really tri-weekly is
none too often. A postofice has been
established a Lyman Prairie, but it is
absolutely valueless as it has no connec-
ton in any direction. Some arrange
ment ought to be made at once which
shall re-establish the old Grove Lake
route, without interfering with the
Fowlds line, thus giving our thriving
neighborine village direct communica-
ton with both systems of railroad, and
putting Lyman Prairie in touch with the
world at lagre. The town of Raymond
is one of the most thickly settled and
prosperous in the county and it should
not longer be denied postal advantages.

Congressman ONeill of Missouri is free and

year he made trip to Europe and formed
the acquaintance of young English actor on
the steamer. The latter relates that one day
she congressman visited the house of COM

where members and their friends sit and
smoke during the intervals between divisions
and when some sixth rate speaker is address
ing empty benches, he found the actor and
tall, well built and fashionably dressed young
man enjoying cigars together. Congressman
O'Neill went over to his friend, who intro
duced him to his companion saying:
''Permit me to introduce Congressman
OrNeill, of Missouri, Mr.. Oscar Wilde"
The congressman took the outstretched
hand of the aesthetic with the cynical smile OF
the man who believes he sees through prac-
teal joke, but lends himself to it, and said:
"Are you the everlasting chump they sent
Us to America couple of years agoT
The aesthetics cigar dropped from his fin
gers and he stood aghast. Then turning to
the actor he asked in supercihous tones:

Then he walked away, leaving O'Neill and
the actor dumfounded. EARLY next morning

s.,,on from the Delaware.

A true sea salmon, Salmo salar, was
taken in the Delaware river recently at
Gloucester. in Mr. William j. Thomp-
sons net, at the o'clock haul. 1t was
feet Z inches in length and weighed
twenty-one pounds. When brought to
the surface it made frantic efforts to es-
cape. and it was some time before it was
secured. The fish was sent to United
States Commissioner Mcdonald, at Wash
ington. This is the second that has been
captured in the river since its stocking,
about ten years ago, the other, which
was much smaller, having been taken
last year. Col. John Gay, superintendent
of stations of the United States fish
commission, said that he considered the
capture of the salmon highly important
as tending to prove the possibility OF
making a salmon river of the Delaware.
The stocking ten years ago, he said, was
purely an experiment, and done under
unfavorable conditions. He thought that
if. under those circumstances. any sal
mon lived to return to the river, the
practical manner in which the planting
was now going on would be productive
of good results. -Philadelphia Ledger.
