"Young people are terrors." This

sents district not moro than hundred
miles distant from New York. he in
vited the other day to his house to tea q
gentleman whose separation from the
''partner of his Joys and sorrows" had
but recently ceased to be the talk Of the
town. Immediately on l~lg seated in
the drawing-room the gentleman was
approached by tao Little daughter OF the
host WITH:
"Whero is your wife?"
Somewhat amazed and decidedly en-
barrassed, the gentleman stammercd
forth:

"Don't know" persisted tho infant
terrible; "why don't you know"
Finding that the child kept on asking
troublesome questions despite the mild
reproof Of her parents, ho concluded to
make clean breast of tho matter and
have it over at once. SO he said with
calmness:
"Well, we don't live together; VIC
think as we can agree, we'd better not"
He stifled groan as the child began
again, and darLed an eXa9perated LOOK
at her parents. But the precocious
youngster would not be quoted, and at
last she exclaimed:

Is certainly enough fcr the newspaper to
print that fact without sond;ng report
crs to interview ali his relatives inciud-
ing his sorrowtu. and heart broken wife,
to get Let of details about his private
life and other matters in which the pub
lie has no interest, or, ut any rate, has
no business to know As q newspaper
man, am free to admit that have gone

ment from the city ojitol, whero, If
had been bodily thrown out Of

intrueion into matters of no public con-
corn, | certainly would not have re-
sented 1t, but Acknowledged tho Justice
of tho oct. | believe 1T is a mistaken
idea among cnterprteing editors that tho
public is crazy for sensational reading.
DO respectable parents want such stuff
paraded daily before their families? no
they want their children to pose daily
over TIC shocking and disgusting details
OF a salacious divorce case? l think
not. The faetis, brother editors, the pub
lie takes thisstuif because yougive it to
them, but they do not want 1T in the
way in which 1t is now served. You
doubt it? We'll, pluck up your courage
and try giving to your patrons o clean
daily paper, void of sensational features,
and SEQ if the patrons that stay with
you, both in character and numbers, are
not well worth tho having. The reader
who buys your paper when you have
big sensational article will not buy 1t
when you haven't, He is your transient
customer; bit the man of family, who
has it delivered regularly at his house,
is the man who is worth most to you as
a patron. And that man, even If he be
not paragon of virtue himself, is apt
to be u little bit particular as to the
kind of reading matter he pieces before

DRINKING IN EUROPE.

Last summer when i was in the
northern part of Europe [ found alcohol
almost pure, set free upon the breakfast
table in an urn where nearly every body
drew glass and absorbed its effects, at
the samo time taking certain picked
food. After drinking of this stuff and
eating cold rations until tho appetite
was stout and hardy, the regular hot
breakfast was called for, which consist
ed of eggs, steak, coffee, etc. Scotland
and the land where Calyinism has held
out tho best is equally n land of distil-
lcriea, of hot liquors and of heavy drink
ing. The North Irish, though Protes-
tants, drink just as hard as the South
Irish, and according to my experience
drink harder. Their superior sense Of
thrift often appeals to tho individual
mind, and in order to bo rich ono will
lay of his liquor, but the North Irish
love whisky, whereas in middle and
South Ireland they are fond OF porter,
whence Mr.. Guinness obtained his great
fortune by manufacturing the odorous
water OF tho Liffey river into brown
stout. There is no country on the globe
where intemperanco exists to that de-
groc that it does in the British Isles or
United Kingdom. Perhaps the next
country for heavy drinking is Holland.

STUFFiNG A GOLD.
n Roa Do 1t You viii In All Probability
Have Fever.

II Roa Do 1t You Will In All Probability
Have II Fever.
The following sensible mode of treat
ing a cold is taken from Woman's Work:
The man who originated the oft-quoted
maxim: "Stuff q cold and starve a fevor,"
either did not understand what he was
writing about or no has been widely mis-
understood, to tho great injury of
multitudes who have acted upon tho
absurd maxim. Presuming that the
author of it was physician, who knew
something of the nature of colds and
the action of remedies, he must have
spoken subjunctively, and not impera-
lively. And then 1t would read thus:
"If you stuff cold, the consequence
will be that you will be thrown into a
fever, asa result of the stuillng treat
ment of the cold, and then you will
have to starve tho fover." This is q true
and sensible Interpretation OF this COM
monty received maxim, which has done
as much harm as any of the thousand
and one popular errors which prevail on
medical subjects. Without dwelling on
the nature or causes Of colds, or on
what physicians call the pathology of
these disorders, l will say that low, or
even starvation diet for q few days,
with the froe drinking of warm, mildly
stimulating toas, is better for q cold
than any drug or combination of drugs.
If with this warm bath or hot foot
bath is taken, little more will be need
ed. Nine cases out of ten OF colds can
be broken mp In this early sh,go by o.
hot foot or rather leg bath, keeping tho
bath as hot as 1t can be borne until per-
spiration arises. After tho bath drink
half-pint of hot Lemonade and go to

Tho most supcrstitious people in the
world, perhaps, arc the negroes, among
whom any combination of odds and ends
a3 incongrucus as the Ingredients OF the
witches hell broth in Macbeth becomes
"fotich." This oxprssaior comes from
Portuguese word meaning magic, and Is
any thing in nature or art 10 which magic

tain parts of plants, animals, etc. Curl
ously enough, all tho civilization which
has surrounded the negroes in the South
ern States has, according to tho Chicago
Journal not boon sufficient to disarm
their belief in fGtiches. "Voodoo," or
fetichisra, is still practiccd considerably
in some of tho Southern States by ne
groes who are believed to possess special
powers, and to be able by the propara-
ton of certain charms to bring about
whatever their patrons may desire. In
1851 criminal trial occurred in Sumter
County, S. G., In which tho defend
ant was colorod man by the name
of Johnston, who had killed another
named Davis, the former having
in his possession charm which had
been given to him by an aged negro
named Orange Issacs, voodoo con-
jurer, who assured him that it
would protect him from all dan
ger as result of his crime. Tho OBJ
iect OF the murder was to enable tho
criminal to marry the widow of the
murdered man. Tho charm givon him
by tho conjurer was composed of bees
wax, foxs' hair, little sand from tho
shoe of tho person who was to be killed
and n draliu's foot, tho whole being
sewed up in small cotton bag, which
he wcs to wear over his heart next to
his skin. This, it was claimed, would
obtain for him tho love of the woman
whom ho desired. In addition to this
he was to get a charmed bullet which he
was to fire at Davis. The negro thus
protected shot his rival, buried him and
proceeded to take possession of the
widow, who, as it appeared, was no wise
reluctant Tho body was found and
various circumstances traced the crime
TO Johnston, who vas put on trial. The
Jury comprised nine whites and three
blacks, and vast throng of negroes sur
rounded the courthouse while tho trial

of the men composing the jury were
taken violently i'll and others had to be

murderer was, however, executed.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF la GRIPPE.

Josie Kensel, of Mapleton, was adj
judged insane on Monday, by Judge
Mead, and was committed to the asy-
lum at st. Peter. She is another victim
of La Grippe, which spread over the
country so rapidly last winter. She
suffered severe attack during the pre-
valence of that disease, and early In the
spring she began to show symptoms of
an unbalanced mind. Since then she
has been sinking, and of late has been
more or less violent on occasions. She
recently drove her mother from the
house, and often acted boisterously, to
the CONSERVATION of the family. Mat
ters became so bad that 1t was deemed
best to put her where she could receive
treatment. She is about twenty years
of age, and does not seem to have any
peculiar haliucination, as is frequently
the case. It ls feared that her disease
will finally lead to dementia.
Judge Mead has confined several un-
fortuDates in the asylum, owing to in
sanity resulting from La Grippe. Many
other people are suffering from the re-
suits of 1t in various ways. 1t is to be
hoped that the peculiar ailment will not
again visit this country.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

An interesting case came before Judge
Severance Monday, having been
brought up from Faribault county. The
suit of Ransom Bros. vs.. W. 81. Bur-
goyne had been left to j. III. Quinn,
county attorney of that county, as ref
cree, and during the progress of the
case before that gentleman, Mr.. Bur-
goyne refused to answer certain ques-
tons that were put to him, but did not
claim exemption on the legal ground
that his answer would tend to incrimi-
nate him. The questions were in ref
creme to the disposition of certain prop
erty alleged to have been in the posses
sion of the defendant. W. H. Plymat
appeared as the attorney for Mr.. Bur-
goyne. but did not advise his client to
refuse to answer the questions.
The case was presented to Judge Sew
erance Monday, and he fined Bur-
goyne $50 for contempt of court, which
was paid, and the questions were an
swered. He considered that he got off
very lightly. w. E. Todd appeared for
the plaintiffs.

AN HONORABLE CAMPAIGN

The Republicans of Blue Earth coun-
ty can justly claim credit for having con-
Quoted one of the cleanest campaigns
in the history of county politics. Mr..
Benedict, chairman of the county CEN
trail committee, is entitled to the thanks,
not only of his own party friends but
equally 30 of men of all parties, for scru-
pulously adhering to strictly honorable
methods in his acts, and while the most
of the ticket went down, 1t was no fault
of his. neither can it be attributed to
any lack of earnest and persistent work
on his part. 1t was simply and solely
on account of the combination of the OPP
position. The committee acted honora-
bly, with the opposition, worked ear
nestly for the success of the party they
were selected to represent, and retire
from the canvass with nothing but cred
it to their account.

THANKSGIVING.

We are near that day of all days, when
the plumpest turkey meets his doom
and families gather about the home
board and debate tho ownership of his
wishbone. 1t is a day when John ar
rives at his ranch or his office desk,
miles and miles away, and Sue Is there
with her baby, both looking as bright
and clipper as if they had not come q
long journey. They are all there, and
the wrinkles in the genial faces of the
old folks soften until they almost dlsap-
pear. 1t Is tempting picture, and
those of US who cannot look upon it feel
as if something had been taken from us
when THANKSGIVING Day rolls around.

LAKE CRYSTAL NEWS.
from the Union.1

From the Un1on.I
Frank Gilley, of Cambria, sustained a
broken wrist this afternoon. The tongue
of his buggy had been broken and fast
tened together, and when he crossed
the track near the depot it separated
and swung under the horses feet, fright
ening them, and they threw Frank out
near G. E. Davis store. They demol-
ished the buggy, and ran through two
wire fences, and were not caught when
we went to press.
Burt Cole and Paul Neff were hunting
last week and shot three geese, one of
which weighed Is pounds and measured
6 feet from tip to tip.
The Union is on the track of bit of
treachery to candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket, wherein a paper in Manka-
to is interested. The information comes
from the successful candidate and was
gwen to party whom they supposed
was in sympathy with them.
The Baptist society in this place has
decided to make some needed improve
ments on their church. They will pa

will be 6x10 feet, set with colored glass.
Work will begin at once.

only Brief Outline of Its Work.

The Minneapolis Journal says that the
Hennepin delegation is laying out lots
Of work for ITSELF The city is to be re-
districted, the police commission is to
be abolished, both the municipal judges
are to be legislated out of Office, the liq-
uor license is to be cut down from ST. 600
to $500, the park commission is to be
abolished and the court house commits
sion is to be cut down to five members.
1t will be out of keeping with the policy
of that party in the past if the Demo-
Gratis do not attempt to repeal the high
license law and put the liquor traffic
back to its old tax. There is little reas-
on to doubt that such an effort will be
made, but it hardly seems possible that
a measure so entirely void of merit can
succeed. Still one cannot tell what may
happen. After the result of last weeks
election, Republicans will be prepared
for almost anything they are not look
ing for.
