The following complimentary mention
of Senator Moody was recently made
by Washington correspondent of the
Minneapolis Journal: Gideon c.
Moody, the elder senator from South
Dakota, is building up quite reputa.
ton for himself. No man ever entered
the upper house who stood out more
conspicuously than Mr.. Moody during
the first term served. He has not only
attended to the wants of his constituents
in legislative way, but has launched
out further and has tackled some nation.
al legislation, and has made more than
one effective speech when that upper
house was considering national affairs
He madea eloquent speech when the
pension bill was being considered sever.
al weeks ago and last week took whirl
at the Blair educational bill. 1t is well
known that new senator is only sup.
posed to occupy his cushioned seat for
the first term or two, and he Is also
supposed to sit real hard in these easy
senatorial chairs. Mr.. Moody has brok-
en- over the traces. No attempt has
been made yet to sit down on him for
his forwardness, but some of the old
fellows may resolve to squench the
South Dakota man later on. Just now
Gideon G. Moody seems TO be "all
righs."

There are two benfits to be derived
from advertising-the direct benefit
and the indirect benefit-and the man
who fails to see the direct benefit Of
keeping his business before the public
should feel that the indirect benefit Of
keeping up the town were sufficient in
ducement for him to advertise. If a
paper is doing its best in times like
these to build up town, it is laboring
under many disadvantages, and has a
right to expect some assistance and en-
couragement from those who will be
most benefited by it. The public should
keep an eye on the firms which adver-
tise aud should give them patronage.
AS rule, liberal advertisers are liberal
dealers, and the public can get better
satisfaction from them than the tight
fisted firms who would rather have
their shelves stocked with "back num-
bers" than to pay small advertising
bill once each month.-Kentucky Crap

The Sioux City Journal says: Speaker
Reed is great success in his respon-
sible station. He is popular on both
sides of the house, notwithstanding the
positive stand he took against the demo-
Gratis at the opening of the session, and
indeed. they seem to like him all the
better on that account. Beyond ques-
ton, there has never been a speaker
who handled the business of the house

he does. And there are those who be-
lieve that before congress adjourns his
record as speaker will stand without a
parallel in the history of the govern

THE death. of John c, Fremont, the first
candidate for President in the republican
party, and the pathfinder to the far
Pacific coast, died at the home of his
adopted daughter in New York City,
July 13. of Inflammation of the bowels.
His illness was brief and dated only from
the preceding Tuesday. He was II years
of age and was born IN Savannah, Ca,
of French and Virginlan parentage. He
was left an orphan at the age of five years
and entered college at fifteen. He was
appointed teacher of mathematics on
board a man of war bound for South
America. On his return he directed his
efforts to civil engineering. His military
career was one of rapid progress and
steady advancement. The great work of
his life was the thorough investigation of
the far West and the successful accom-
plishment OF the Journey across the
Rockies to the Pacific coast. In 1856 he
was the unsuccessful candidate for Pres
ldent against Buchanan. At the out
break of the civil war he was appointed
major general in the National army. Al
commander he marched against Gen.
Prices forces and won Missouri, but
owing to dispute his command was
taken from him. Soon after his defeat
for the presidency he retired to private

OUR CITY CENSUS.

The official census count for this city
approximates 1000 inhabitants. This does
not reach the previous estimates of con-
servative judges who have watched our
wonderful progress during the past five
years, but we have no reason to complain.
The official count of 1885 gave this city
total Of 2505. This shows gain in the
past five years of 1900 population, or 60
per cent. IT any other city IN Southern
Minnesota can show as good rate Of in

We have frequently referred to some of
the reasons of this unprecedented growth.
