IT is more than possible that the leo.

IT is more than possible that the Leg
islature will be called upon to make an
other investigation into the acts of it's
predecessor of two years ago in addi-
ton to the one now pending. The mat
ter relates to the Duluth & Winnipeg
land grant. Rumors that Doodle was
freely used in that case are more than
current. Indeed, some of the parties
who dispensed it are said to be so in
censed at the bad faith shown by some
OF the recipients of the money that they
are anxious to go before committee
and tell all that they know about the
affair. Among the stories in circula-
ton is that senator from the south
west portion of the State received $lO.-
600 from one side and $4,000 from the
other for his vote and coolly pocketed
both sums. Another is that a Demo-
cratic senator from the northern CEN
trail part of the State, and who is a
member of the present senate, has adj
mitted to Democratic member of the
last and present house from the same
county, that he received $4,000 for his
vote on the bill. These are but sam
pies of the stories in circulation. Others
involve men who, until now, have not
been suspected of any crookedness in
the matter. minneapolis Eve1ai7ag I4ib-

Investigations seem to be the
order of the day, and the Tribune
has suggested fruitful field for
operations. The amount said to
have been paid out to secure the
election of a United States senator
was mere bagatelle compared
with the Doodle that it is claimed
was disbursed in connection with
the Duluth & Winnipeg land grant
bill, and if there is any truth in
the stories that were in circulation
two years ago, the benefciaries
were not all Republicans either.

SALTWATER Dem10crnt: States
which have enacted prohibitory
laws have almost bankrupted them
selves in the attempt to enforce the
observance Of them, and in almost
every instance have been totally
unsuccessful in cutting off any
thing except the revenue. Iowa,
which possesses, probably, the
richest natural resources of any
state in the Union, is to-day on the
verge of bankruptcy by reason of
its subsection at the hands of the
epidemic of fanaticism which swept
the country a few years ago.

Marius) is evidently not we'll in
formed as to the status of affairs in
the church of which he speaks in
last weeks ''Zephyrs," or he wishes
to create prejudice. His allega-
tons are certainly without good
Foundation. First, there is not nor
at any time has there been minis
ter other than the regular pastor
holding regular services here. Sec
ond, the minister referred to was
Mr.. Warner, of Princeton, who
preached here one Wednesday eve
ming only, and by invitation Of citi-
zens, and had permission from the
trustees to use the church. Third,
it is not necessary to ask permis-
sion of the pastor for another to
use the church as such matters are
controlled by the trustees, as the
church was built with proviso
that it was to be opened to any de-
nomination wishing to use it when
not in use by the regular pastor.
Fourth, we do not think our pas
tor has been justly treated by some
of our citizens, but this need not
cause another minister to be mis-
represented or maligned. It would
be we'll for I'M. Marius' to bear in
mind the misdoings of certain
prominent citizen and church
member Of that burgh a short time
since and not cast slnrs or insinua-
tons. Here's a proverb: "Those

Forage Literally On the Enemy
The present legislature has proved
its anti-monopoly proclivities be-
You'd all dispute. Its members are
in favor of free passes. The true
anti-monopoly doctrine involves
the getting out of the monopolies
all you can. Hence, no doubt, the
public will understand that in de-
Gliding to remain in possession of
their railroad passes, our legisla-
tors have once for all settled the
question as to whether they are or
are not good anti-monopolists.-

Mr.. EDITOR: There was an item in
your last issue, from the Milaca COR
respondent, which I would like to no.
tice. Probably the town mot ten
miles away is Foreston, and the
minister whom he calls hard names, is
the Rev. Mr.. Warner, of Princeton.
AS this matter has come up before
and been pretty generally discussed I
would like to state the case. We have
no PRESIDENT pastor,' and as few of
our citizens desired to hear Mr. War
ner preach, I asked the PRESIDENT"
trustee, if it would be all right, and he
replied, ''Of course, that is what the
church was built for.'' So the notice
was given, and Mr.. Warner came and
preached very acceptably to an earnest
attentive congregation, who would be
glad to hear him again. I make this
statement in justice to Rev Mr.. War
ner who came by Invitation, and
preached on week day evening, when
there was no other service.
This church was built by the citizens
of all denominations, and in the sub
scription paper there is a
clause STIMULATING that when not
in use by the Methodists, it
could be used by any denomination.
There is no service in the chuch, ex-
cept the Sunday afternoon service

Friction.

Friction is derived from the Latin frico,
10 rub, and expresses the resistance to mo-
ton which arises from uneven surfaces. 1t
is a passive resistance and depends upon the
forces which keep the bodies together. Thus
train running upon a smooth iron rail
would never be able to proceed but for fric-
ton, which gives the necessary purchase or
grip to the wheel and rail in contact. No
surface is perfectly smooth, for we must
push body upon the smoothest surface
we possess. Friction tends to resist motion
always, and is the cause of a great loss of
power in mechanics, though it is employed
to stop motion by certain appliances such
as breaks and drags, for gliding friction is
always greater than rolling friction. But
without friction most structures would
fall to pieces and all forward motion would
cease. So. though it is an inconvenient
force to overcome. we could not do with
out it.

by the richness of their trimmings, into

For theatre parties the English fashion
of theatre jackets prevails to some extent.
These jackets, with their high sleeves and
attractive trimmings, are decidedly dressy.
In the cut is shown pretty theatre or con-

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.

The use of smokeless powders has in
creased the demand in Germany for bronze
field guns or guns with hardened bores.
1t is learned that the new British cruiser
Bellona, during recent natural draught
trial, attained mean speed of l9 46 knots.
The government chemist at Newport, r
l., Professor c. Z. Morse, has discovered a
new formula for a smokeless powder of
great explosive power.
The new English magazine rife carries
ten cartridges in the magazine, in two
rows of five each, which feed alternately
to the receiving chamber.
Attention is to be given to the uniform
of the marines, which for years has needed
several important changes. A board of
marine officers has been ordered to con-
slider the matter.
The recent promotion of State Secretary
Holman in the imperial German depart
ment of naval affairs has increased the
number of vice admirals in the German
navy TO five more than have ever before
been in the service contemporaneously.
The ironclad Spezzia, built at Havre for
the Greek navy, has successfully under
gone her trial cruise. With $500 horse
power Tor 200 horse power above the con-
tract and los evolutions per minute of her
engines, a speed of 17.55 knots per hour
was maintained for three hours.
