sAUK CENTRE HERALD
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1890.
FOR GOVERNOR.

For advocating the reelection of Hon.
William r. Merriam the HERALD has no
apologies to offer, and makes no reser-
walton whatever. His administration is
the best possible argument which can be
advanced. 1t stands without spot or
blemish, other than those incident to
the inherent weakness of exceptionally
strong human nature. Perfection,
fortunately, is not an attribute of men
in exalted position, any more than in
the humber walks of life, and he who
looks for it in public officer has profted
little by either party or experience.
Gov. Merriam has given this great
state an administration which stands
out prominent and conspicuous tor its
purity, economy, and sagacity. To do
the right thing at the right time, and
without blare of trumpet or ostenta-
tious display has been the habitual
method OF our keen-witted and broad
minded governor. Firm and self-reliant,
he is gracious and modest-appro-
chable to every one, and as genial as he
is firm. In the administration of the
various brands which control the vari-
Gus interests and functions of the state
he has taken keen interest. and while
uniting upon the closest economy, yet he
ever councils and insists upon the broad
est efficiency. He has thorough knowl-
edge OF the details of management Ut
every state institution, and exercises
something more that mere perfunctory
supervision. 1t is his aim and ambition
to have a well-rounded administration,
one which shall ignore no public nor
private right, free from oppression and
jobbery. His sympathies are with the
masses of the people, and while he is SO
unfortunate as to be financially pros
porous, he bears the burden so modestly
that no one would eyer discover it by
personal association with him. The
HERALD docs not propose to enter into
any fulsome eulogy to make it appear
that William r. Merriam is a political
giant or an unparalleled statesman. He
is plain, level-headed, honest, far-sight-
ed, sympathetic and nervy man-one
who has filled every place assigned him
with credit to himself, the constituency
which honored him and the state at
large. That is the kind of timber of
which excellent governors are made, and
Minnesota understands it.

HOTEL BROADwATER AND NATATORIUM.
The western traveller will find one OF
the most attractive points of interest at
the Helena Hot Springs and Hotel Broad
water near the City of Helena, Mont,
on the line of the Northern Pacific R. r.
The buildings and grounds are located
about three miles from the depot of the
N. P. R. R. in Helena, 1920 feet above
the leyel of the sea, in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains; surrounded by inn
posing mountain peaks and favored by
nature with an inyigorating climate.
The hotel and surroundings were com
pleted and opened to the public during
the year 1889, at a cost of $35O,OOO.
The Natatorium building is undoubt-
eddy one of the finest on this continent,
with tank 800 feet long, 100 feet wide
and inclosure under 10000 square feet
of colored glass; fed by stream of nat
ural boiling hot mineral water tempered
for bathing purposes. The plunge and
swimming bath is one of the finest in the
world, and has remarkable properties.
The hotel itself, both in furnishings and
service is of very high standard. The
average rate per day is $3.50. Parties
can take motor line from N. p. depot in
Helena direct to the grounds and reach
the hotel in 80 minutes, fare cents, or
by carriage, fifty cents for each person.
We can state with the utmost confidence
that a personal visit will prove an ad-
dltional pleasure to a trip over the N.
P. r. X. For rates of excursion tickets
to Helena and other prominent Montana
points, or any further information rela-
tive to the Hotel BrOadwater and Helena
Hot Springs address any coupon agent
or representatives OF the N. P. road.

WHAT does the alliance expect or de-
mand as an independent organization
which the republican party has not or is
not pledged to give it? The very most
it can hope to do even if it realizes its
highest claim, is to help elect a demo-
cratic state ticket, and what can it ex-
pected from that source? The republican
party has done all that has thus far been
done in the interest of the agricultural
classes, and is pledged to much more.

Ex-CoNGREssMAN WILSON of Winona,
having declined the honor of being de-
feated by Mark Drumell for Congress
will accept the more exalted and con-
spicuous political Nartyrdom by being
slaughtered by Governor Merriam. Yes,
Mr.. Wilson will be the democratic NOM
inee, and Doctor Ames will be relegated
again to the shades of forced private life.
The doctor will feel better after election
for he won't care half SO much about be-
ing in Wilson's place then as he does now.

OUR farmer friends should bare in
mind the outrageous manner in which
they have been swindled in the past by
agents canvassing for the sale of goods.
Our merchants sell better goods ascheap
as these outside concerns, and guarantee
both quality, weights and measure. Do
not buy Of any agent without at least
first examining home stocks and prices.

WHAT rs
SCROFULA

It is that impurity in the blood, which, &C.
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, OF nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons 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 it

IT is claimed that prohibition does not
prohibit, and it is very evident that the
alliance does not ally.

Nov :: g. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
EVERY spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them in various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass Of sores fromhe
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and we have all taken it. The result
is that all have been cured Of the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four Of my children look bright and
healthy" W. B. ATHERToN, Passaic City, NJ.

How strange it is that our people pay
so little attention to the most important
tax-levy in the city-tllat for the public
schools. Less than a dozen taxpayers
was present when the levy was made,
on Monday afternoon for providing
funds for operating the schools for the
ensuing year. The amoutts levied were:
Teachers wages..................... 900
Bonds and nterest..................... 2 600
Incidental expenses................. 1 500
.."......................$5 500
There is little balance in the treasury,
so the levy was kept down to the figures
of last year. The rate is about eleven
mills on the dollar.

had many obstacles to contend with. consider

enough.
HOW TO GET TO TIE OBSERVATORY.
The electric cars on the High street road will
carry passengers within stones throw Of the
grounds, while the extension Of Massac husetts
avenue will furnish q roadway perhaps nearer
yet The line now proposed for the avenue
anuous line of this thoroughfare in
the city, hence many persons object
TO It II continued on this line il would pass
through the northern part Of the observatory
grounds Its continuation on . direct line
seems wholly out Of the question, owing to the
law that no roadway shall approach within one
thousand feet Of the great equatorial The
warp has been delayed for some time now
owing to the condemnation Of some of the
marble as being what the assistant architect
considers of color. The total suspension of
work from time to time for similar causes
has prevented its completion within
the contract time, to wit, by October Of
tins year, and the contractors have secured an
extension until the LIST Of July next, but even
in this time it is very doubtful as to whether il
viii be finished. Four Of the additional months,
december, January, February and March, will
not be worth more than one month to the
builders, for the reason that the class Of work
remaining to be done-plasterlng and the like
cannot be done in cold or bad weather. When,
however, the work is complete the navy and the
government will have what has been needed for
many years.

ANNULLED THE MOTION.
Judge Bradley's Decision in Regard to
the Estate of Bushrod Askins

Yesterday Judge Bradley, in the Probate
Court, heard argument in the case of the estate
of Bushrod W. Askins on motion for issues to
be framed on the noncupative will, and decided
adversely. An appeal was taken. Askins was
an old man who lived near Tenleytown, and il
is claimed that some time before his death he
expressed his intention to leave to two old
ladies all that he possessed. After his death
his trunk was examined and his effects we're
found amounting to about $4,000, and letters
Of collection being procured, said effects being
mostly cash, were deposited in bank. Some
weeks afterward the Askins declaration of in
tentions was written out and propounded as a
noncupative viii by MIR. Jackson. Ii was con-
tended by Mr.. Msckey that under the statute
of Charles III evidence could not be taken after
six months unless the will had been written ont
within SIX days Of the death. Judge Bradley
said the papers showed on their face that no
noncupative will had been made and overruled
the motion for issues.

Talk Of "Corners'' I'm the Metal-HOpes
of Supplies From Domestic Sources,

Additional results Of the recent tests Of armor
plate at Annapolis are still coming to light.
The demonstration of the superiority Of the
nickel steel alloy and the immediate appro-
priation by Congress of million dollars for
the purchase Of a quantity of nickel with which
to alloy naval steel had the effect of stimulat-
ing the nickel to an unusual degree. The Navy
Department had hardly begun to inquire into
the amount of nickel on the market before it
was found that the results of the tests had been
seized upon abroad with remarkable CELEBRITY
and that there was to be keen competition in a
market already noted for a vigorous and steady
demand. In addition there were rumors of
corners" that were discomforting to the
officials who had expected to get an ade-
quate supply of the metal at fair prices
These facts have led 10 an examination Of the
possibilities of the United States as nickel
producing country. All Of the nickel used here
has been purchased abroad, Canada being the
nearest source of supply. From information
coming in an unofficial way to the department
ii appears. however. that there is a probability
that the metal exists in this country in consid-
cradle quantities. 1t is asserted that mines of
great value exist in Virginia. For obvious
reasons the persons making the assertion re-
fuse to designate their location. Meanwhile,
acting upon expert reports, at least one COM
pany is organized to develop these mines, 80
that the Navy Department officers are hopeful
that any considerable advancement of the mar
ket price Of nickel will be met and counter
acted by an increased supply from domestic
sourcaa

THREE LORDLY MINSTRELS.
Brighton, Eng, Mystified Over Some
Wandering Musicians

Brighton, England, il greatly exercised a. to
the identity Of band of three itinerant must
clans who give performance every evening on
the Kings walk, the fashionable promenade.
These young men are said to be doing tre-
mendous business, although they have to de-
pend entirely on the volunteer contributions
OF the crowd that assemblies to hear them.
ARIsTocRATIc WANDERING MINsrRELs.
The first coup was made when it leaked ont
that one of the number was young lord and
the rest of the troupe was composed of men,
bers Of the high aristocracy. They have eluded
all questions as to who they are and have so far
preserved their incognito. though it is said that
the other night well-kuown stock broker who
moves in the best social circles. succeeded in
piercing the mystery with which they have en-
shrouded themselves and recognized one of the
performers. As an inducements to keep their
secret il il said they told him they were simply
coming money and were fast becoming the
rage. In fact, people are already beginning
to consider those residents outside the pale OF
fashionable society under whose windows or
before whose doors the band of the .'myste-
rious ones" az they are called, does not sing.
ATTENDED BY SERVANT.
The stock in trade of the young men consists
simply of piano in a cart. by means Of which
it is easily moved from place to place. The
mysterious three are attended by smart youth,
who Is dressed in suit OF livery and in whose
shiny black hat 10 fixed q cockade and a badge,
to which there is very little doubt he is not en-
titled, and it is he who pilots the cart and the
trio through the crowded streets. Meantime
one-half OF Brighton is beginning to find out
who the members OF the party really are, while
the other half winks knowingly and pretends
to have the information, but refuses to divulge
it.
SIMILAR OCCURRENCE.
This, however, is not the first time a watering
place has been worried in trying to find out
who its intinerant musicians are. At several OF
the watering places an actor who played with
Mr.. Mansfield, both here and in America, at
one time used to sing comic songs and give
sketches after the manner Of Corney Grain and
George Grosmith, and made a lot Of money.
He and his two partners used to take turns in
the performance, and they we're accompanied
by boy respondent in buttons, who passed
around the bag for contributions of the crowd.
No one knew who they were, as they always
disguised themselves, and, contrary to their
custom of itinersnt musicians, stopped at the
best hotel in town
