THE South Dakota Senatorial con-
test was decided Monday by the
election of Kyle, Independent. Be-
sides receiving the undivided support
of his own party, the Democrats vot-
ed for him in a body and thus ended
the deadlock. One thing in the fight
can be said to the credit of the Repub-
licans, and that is they refused to bar
ter away their principles for the sake
of sharing the temporary glory of as
sisting in the election of man who
did not belong to their party. They
had excellent candidates and loyalty
to the cause is more lasting under de-
feat than victory gained through
treachery and desertion. Mr.. Kyle is
represented as being young man of
ability and integrity. He is Congre-
gational minister, and added to eXper-
fence he is possessed of fine personal
appearance. 1t is claimed among
other things, that his election is the
result of bargain whereby result
mission is to carry-the Independents
agreeing to combine with the Demo
Gratis on this question, also, that the
trade with the Illinois legislature has
been made. 1t was understood that
the Democrats would support Kyle in
South Dakota in return for the f. N.
B. A. support of Palmer in Illinois.
The former have carried out their
agreement. 1t remains to be seen
what the latter will do.

THE CANNON VALLEY RAILROAD.

TIE Mankato FREE PRESS says:
''There is report current among the
employees of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis railway that that road will be
extended this spring. 1t is said to be
the intention to extend the Cannon
Valley line from Mankato to Norris
ton by way of New Ulm, a distance of
sixty miles, thus connecting the
branch with the Dakota line of the
company. 1t is also reported that the
western end is to be extended from
Watertown to Bismarck. Whether any
reliance can be placed in this rumor
cannot be stated, but some color is
given to the report of the extension of
the Cannon Valley line by remarks of
an official"
The report of the extension of the
Cannon Valley road westward is annu-
ally revived but the work does not
materialize. So long as the road is in
the hands of receiver, no changes
are probable FaribauH Republican.
If any extension is built it will
probably be done by the Burlington &
Northern company. There have been
numerous reports in regard to the
Burlington company purchasing the
Cannon Valley road and building a
bridge at Red Wing and the line could
then be connected with the main line
OF, the Burlington. A movement OF
this kind would be great benefit tt
the country along the line of the
Cannon Valley.-Northfeld Neus.

GOOD THUNDER
The Historic Hatchet.

We take the Ratchet for our text,
because tomorrow if the anniversary
of the birth of George Washington,
and the legent of the little Ratchet is
inseperably connected with the mem
DRY of the great man. And yet these
matter-of-fac people, who are patient
ly housing around among old docu-
ments and records, say the pretty
story is not true-and so another
cherished belief is shattered. Still
the Ratchet remains an emblem for
the truthful man, when it does not
suggest the bad Indian with his toma-
hawk though good many of our fel
low citizens have evidently "buried
the hatchet," as it does not appear as
sign over the doors. Railroad men
are supposed to have no use for the
hatchet as a trade-mark-eXcept the
agents of "The Burlington" who have
no need for anything but the truth in
detailing the advantages and attrac-
lions of the 1000 miles of track of the
system, the superb equipment, the
fast time, the courteous treatment,
the sure connections. Call on any
railroad coupon ticket agent in the
Northwest for confirmation. or write

Agent G. B. & n. r. r. st. Paul, MINI.

It's sometimes said patent medi-

tors foster this idea. ''The people, !"
we're told, "are mostly ignorant when

bly," 1t says-'I can cure you, only

when it does, because they never keep

DEATH OF GEN. H. H. SHELLEY.

The death of General H. HI. Sibley,
which occurred at his home in st.
Paul yesterday was not unexpected.
For several weeks it had been known
that he could not long survive, and
the end came peacefully. He died full
of honor and rich in service to his
state and country.
Gen. Sibley was one of the earliest
settlers of Minnesota, coming here in
1884, fifteen years even before being
admitted as a territory. During all
these long years he never faltered in
mis- efforts to advance the interests of
our people, and his death will cause
regret and sorrow to many a house.
mold. He was chosen as the first Gov
'ernor of Minnesota, and was the only
Democratic executive the State ever
had. And be it said in honor to his
memory the State has since never had
"a more honest administration, nor one
where its governor was more conSci-
%entious, able or devoted to his duties.
The legislature took appropriate
action on learning of Gen. Sibleys
death, passing resolutions and ad-
iourning out of respect to his memory.
Governor Merriam issued proclama
zion yesterday afternoon, paying the
dead general high tribute, and di-
pecting that the State house be closed
OR the day of the funeral, the flags be
displayed at half-mast and the capitol
building be draped in mourning for
thirty days. He also named the fol-
lowing gentlemen to attend the
funeral on behalf of the State: Gov.
J. S.;Pillsbury, Judge Gilfillan, Judge
Lochren, Judge Wilkin, VIM. Dawson,
Lieut.-Goy. Ives, Speaker Champlin
and e. NJ. Pope.
The funeral will take place at st.
Raul's Episcopal church Friday after
moon at 2:30 o'clock.

LAKE CRYSTAL ITEMS.
(From the Union)

The ChautauQua circle meets with
Mrs. J. f.. Rowland next Saturday
eve. An hour will be devoted to the
study of Hamlet. The circle of this
place has accomplished large amount
of work thus far.
About the pleasantest social event
of the season was birthday surprise
on Robert Thomas at his home in this
place last Thursday eve. A number
of his friends and associates gathered
at his home and enjoyed themselves
until the small hours of the night.
They pre- Sented him with a fine gold
fountain pen. May he enjoy many
happy returns of the occasion.
Joseph Peterson, of Lincoln, re-
turned last Thursday from an extend
ed trip to the old country. He looks
very well, and says he enjoyed the trip
exceedingly. He seems quite well
satisfied with America, however. He
says for pleasure trip Europe will do
very well, but from business point of
view America is far preferable. Fri
day eve about 40 of his friends and
neighborS gathered at his home to
surprise and welcome him back to his
own free soil, and to listen to his re-
miniscenceS of the voyage and travels.
The evening was pleasantly passed,
and Mr.. Peterson duly appreciated
the visit.
For some months past Mrs. Lincoln

lis would benefit her. While there
she consulted specialist, who told
her to try DR.. Koch's lymph cure Her
husband went down last Thursday,
and after consultation it was decided
to try the experiment. Mrs. Cobb is
at hospital in that city, and last
Friday received the first treatment.
She will probably be there for several

file his reasons for pardons with the attorney
general. That bill ought to be passed.
We submit if it would not be quite
as good or better to have applicants
for executive clemency file their rea-
sons for asking such with the attor-
ney general Then the public could
have something upon which to base
their criticisms which are now too
often unjustly INDUCED toward the
Governor. Let the legislature think
this over.

Gold Will Come Back.

BERLIN, May 23.-In an interview
with an Associated press correspond
emit Baron Bleichroder, the we'll known
banker, said the importation OF gold
into Russia has now ceased, rs she has
all she requires. All the American
gold SEN to Europe will be returned
in November to buy grain, as the crops
OF England and France are bad ana
they need much American grain.
Herr Barth, u high authority upon
national economics, was also inter-
viewed by an Associated press repre-
sentative upon the same question. He
said that while the United States can
look forward to a prosperous and prof
liable year the outlook in Europe is
anything but hopeful. In conclusion
be said bad crops in Europe would be
a gain to the United States. Eventu-
ally, of course, the prosperity OF the
United States may have Il stimulating
effect upon European commerce, but
everything at present looks bad.
