Not A Chestnut.

The Observation-Disclosures the star
of empire takes its way" is somewhat
old, but while onceit was prophecy
only, it, is now an accomplished tact.
That portion OF our country lying be-
tween the Alleghanies on the east and
the Rocky Mountains on the west, con-
tains the forces which control the nation.
The majority of the population is there,
and there also is the preponderance OF
political power. There is the granary OF
the nation, and there will at no distant
day be not only the greatest assemblage
OF manufactures, but there will also be
the head of financial influence. These
things are coming, as witness the wrest-
ing of the Worlds Fair OF 1892 away
from the East by Chicago. and the phe-
nomenl agrowthin every element at pow:
err, shown by st. Louis, Kansas City, st.
Joseph, Omaha. Denver, st. Paul and
Minneapolis. These centers of influence
are linked together by the lines of The
Burlington" which reaches all principal
points in nine great states. For tickets
by this popular line, and any intorma-
ton, apply to your local agent, or write

Tue melancholy announcement is ma ie
that Hon. Eugene NJ. Wilson of Mime
apolis died at Nassau, Bahama Islands,
on April 10th. He weut thither for bis
health several weeks ago, was stricken
with malarial fever, which proved fatal.
He was an enterprising, genial and kind
ly spirited man, whom it was a pleasure
to meet. He has held several positions,
of trust, and was universally esteemed.
He was twice mayor of Minneapolis a, d
represented this district in congress, be-
fore the reapportionment of the state.
Two years ago he was the democratic
candidate for governor, nobly leading
forlorn hope. No man IN the state had
a larger circle of warm friends, who will
feel his death as personal affection.

AS the season approaches for setting
out shade trees, would it not be a good
plan to make concerted effort to have
more trees plantedin our residence streets
outside the walks2 Do not be afraid
of setting them too far from the side
walk. There is far more danger of get
ting them too near. The fact is that
every side walk in the residence part Of
the city ought to be removed from two
TO four feet out from the line of the lots,
and trees set as much further outsiCe the
walk. 1t would make a different look
ing and much more attractive city five
years hence.

PRESIDENT MORSE takes exceptions to
the printed report of the council proceed
ings W hich would make it appear that
he appointed himself upon two very i'm
portant committees. The facts are that
he was added to the committees on poor
and the new bridge by a vote of the
council, and was specifically made CHAIR
man of the briige committee by the &C
ton of the council. Of course, no one
would think for moment that he did
so appoint himself, but it is well enough
to have the record correct.

A Strange Case.

Had Mrs. H. A. Gardner. of Vistula,

treated by eight physicians for years
without success, she was permanently
cured DO one bottle of Dr.. Miles Restor-

RELIGIOUS activity has characterized
this community during the past three

ment. The ranks of professed and pro-
Tossing christians haye heen reinforced
from all classeS. Some are weak-tOO
weak to persevere, unaided, and the in

find some occasion for sneering. Let
such measure fully the import of their

Charity is the virtue which needs special
attention at this particular and peculiar

STREET WORK.

The streets of Sank Centre are the pride
Of the city. Our former street commits
sioner took commendable pride in this
branch of his work, and he kept them
in excellent order-both roadways and
sidewalks. The new commissioner
should, as he doubtless will, emulate his
example. There is considerable old walk
needing substantial repairs-notably
that on Groke Lake-ave. and on Third-st
between Oak and Elm-sts. That the city
has not been compelled to pay damages
for personal injuries sustained on these
thoroughtares is more a matter OF good
fortune than foresight. The bridge rail-
ings on Grave Lake-ave. and on Oak-st.
are both out of repair-a small amount
OF labor being sufficient to restore them.
New walk is demanded in some localities,
but none more so than those on Grove
Lake-ave., north of the Great Northern
depot. For a season this spring the
road was practically impossible, the mud
and water being little less than knee
deep. There is more travel by pedes-
TRANS over that thorughfare than oyer
any other equally remote from the bust
ness centre of the city. The suggested
repairs and improvementy will cost but
a trifle and will amply repay the labor
and expence in convenience, safety and
appearance.
There is also considerable roadwork
of Importance, though not expensive,
which is urgently needed. The large
meetings at the rink during the muddy
season emphasized the fact that there is
low place at the intersection of Fifth
and Main-sts. which needs either filling
or draining. The cross-walks are buried
deeply in mud and water so long as any
surface water remain in the streets.
Other places need care, without doubt,
just as urgently and the new street COM
missioner can be relied upon to apply
the remedy.

T. D. Lincoln. ofthe Long Prairie Land
Co., died at his homein Cincinnati, Ohio,
April LIST, after an illness of only two
weeks. Mr.. Lincoln was prominent
lawyer and was identified with number
OF marine cases where success won pop
ularity for him. His interest in the Long
Prairie Land company was such that it
was through his enterprise and generos-
itv that this village has received many
favors for which inestimable gratitude is
due. The company originally owned
nearly 80 900 acres of land i'll this coun-
ty, but now have little less than 10000
acres. They owned the townsite ofLong
Prairie village and have donated to the
public the court house square, school
block, Catholic church block lother church
lots and sites, the railroad right of way
and a SIS, 900 bonus for the S. c. n. rail-
road. In all this Mr.. Lincoln has fig
ured as the leading spirit and in his death
we should one and all feel regret.--Wm.
E. Lee, local agent for the company, in
forms US that there is no probability Of
any change being mrde i'll the business

coins son will be likely to succeed him.

BELGRADE.
The farmers here are busy seeding.

The farmers here are busy seeding.
The roads are so muddy that travelling
is almost impossible.
Chris Borgerding, the jolly Belgrade
banker, spent Easter with friends in Mel
rose.
ST., Peterson and wife spent Easter at
New London.
A very pleasant evening was spent by
some of Belgrade's young people at the
home of A. Lindeholm last Friday.
On March 31st, horse belonging to
John State slipped on the ice in front of
the Belgrade house and was so badly in
jured as to make it necessary to kill him.
E. S. Chase, while out canvassing for
cows for the Belgrade creamery, stopped
at the residence of A. Scholz for dinner.
While driving his team to the barn to
unhitch one of the horses fell into an old
well which had been carelessly left open,
but by hard struggling and the assist
ance of the other horse he managed to
get out with serious injuries.
A great deal of dissatisfaction is felt
among farmers on account OF the alleged
discrimination of the local miller, who is
said to discriminate against those living
near the city and giving his distant Gus
toners the benefit of the discrimination
A mass meeting of the farmers of Bel
grade and vicinity met on Monday last
for the purpose OF taking some step tow
ard remedying the evil. After some dis
cussion general boycott was proposed.

GLOOMY FOREBODINGs.



The indications are that from now
until next fall the subject of ice will
take the place of the weather IN small
talk conversation. When, during the
winter, the northern ice fields were be-
ing worked in anticipation OF local
famine, Grand Bapids folk felt assured
they were favored IN living so near these
fields. IL was believed that no contn-
gency was likely 10 arse 10 entail upon
this city any absolute distress, even
though prices might range little high.
some sime since the ice companies Of
the city met, compared notes, and
fixed the prices for the season. 1t now
turns out that two of these companies,
directly after retiring from this meet
ing, contracted for the sale of their
whole Northern product 10 some South
ern company. Those who have reason
10 know, declare that this action so re-
duces the supply for this city that n real
famine will be likely to occur before the
season is over. The two companies
now withdrawing from this field are the
Valley City Ice and Coal Company and
the :. p. Bennett Company. Much
BY consumers and old customers of
these companies. 1t is claimed that,
although a business may be established
for mOney-making purposes, yet in
times of strlngency and distress, such
as we are now likely 10 meet in the ice
supply. there is certain moral obliga-
ton which binds producer and con-
sumner together. 1t is an uncommon
condition of things in which these COM
panies make more money by selling at
wholesale than at retail. 1t is
claimed, both by the companies
that remain and by the old customers
of the Withdrawing companies, that 1t
was particularly dishonorable to with
draw from the Grand Rapids field after
a compact had been entered INTO bv
which each company agreed to take
care of its own old customers. But it
is evident that the measure of con-
demnatlon, which will ultimately fall
upon the companies. viii be determined
by the actual distress which their action
entails.
