the expense after removal to this coun-

to have the work done here.

AMONG the deaths of prominent peO-
pie the past week was that of S. G.
POMEROY, the predecessor of Senator
INGALLS,, of Kansas, who made his. exit
from public life in an unsavory scandal.
Among those who went out from New
England in the fifties to settle the des-
TIMES of Kansas was POMEROY. He
made himself particularly obnoxious to
a class of people on the Missouri side of
the line, The writer remembers that
in the early summer of 1856 the gentle
man was understood to be on a boat
going down the Missouri river. when at
one of the towns in Missouri a great
many people came on board with guns,
inquiring for him. but he was hurriedly
secluded and escaped their eyes.

breezes and refreshing suggestions Of
o7ercoats. The lakes under such cir
crmstanees are not necessities, but
luxuries. People do not have to go to
them as they have to go to the seashore
in the East. The deadly equatorial heat
of New York and New England saps
the vitality beyond the point of endur-
ance. unless it is fought against by oc-
casional plunges in the sea and occa-
sional trips on the rivers and ocean. But
men can get along quite we'll in St.
Paul during the summer without sim
gle visit to the lakes.
The effect of this is to curtail the
patronage of these places very materi-
ally. Pleasure seekers use them, and
so do idlers looking for pleasant quar-
ter in which to kill time. There are not
as many of these classes in the West as
there are in the East. The richest of
them, too, prefer the variety and new
experiences which attend trip to some
remoter point and the society of strange
people. Ii they spent their money at
our lakes instead of at the seashOre,
our lakes would be much more attract
i've. Their presence, for one thing, would
add to the pleasure, and the accOmmO-
dations would be more satisfactory, be-
cause the hotel owners would find it
profitable to cater to their tastes and ac-
cOrding to their standards. As it is, tn
food is often very poor at some of the
best of the inns, and often very poorly
served. The rooms and attendance
sometimes leave much to he desired,
and not few people of good taste stay
at home because they think that their
creature comforts will be there more
adequately gratifed.
An interesting differentiation is grow
ing up, as far as st. Paul is con cerned,
between White Bear lake and Lake
Minnetonka. White Bear, in the past
five or six years, has become the seat of
many attractive cottages, and is en-
joyed by a coterie of people who know
each other very well, and who enter
tain one another and tn cir mutual
friends with generous and pleasant hos
pitality. Lake Minnetonka, on the
other hand, has several very large
hotels, provides spectacles and exhibit
IlOuS WliCil Cdll UO OllJOyCu WiOhOuI any
need of acquaintance or society, and is
visited by strangers from abroad and by
such of our people as welcome hotel life
because it is a relief from the cares and
responsibilities of housekeeping. What
ever objections there are to either of
these places for the purposes for which
they are being utilized are the Objec-
lions necessarily associated with new
ness. AS time goes on they will both
develop, and, with larger cities to draw
from, they will no doubt enjoy much
popularity and afford their patrons
much pleasure. As it is, they serve
very useful purpose.

Nine out of every ten bookbuyers in st.
Paul are women, and they buy most books
from the LIST of September to March 1. Just
at present the demand is for the best Amer
lean novels. The erotic in fiction is drug
in the market, and French novels of the
sort have almost no sale. Eight out of every
ten of all the patrons of the circulating libra
ry want American novels. Failing these,
they take English stories or German transla-
tons, but we sell ten times as many Amer
lean novels as any other. The three books
most called for are Told in the Hills - 1.-The

The conservative ana careful spirit mani
tested by the county and city officials in city
expenditures and the assessment of taxes is
doing much to maintain the reputation of St.
Paul for economic administration abroad as
well as at home. Any approach towards OK
travagance is especially checked and need
less expenditures are avoided. The members
of the board of county commissioners vie
with the couucilmen in pursuing a conserva-
tive course in disbursing the revenues. They
are not penurious, but they are careful.
Such a course merits the approval of the
moneyed men of the city, and encourages
the investment of capital i'll the city.

Building associations are doing a good
work in this city. The number of working
people and persons of small incomes seeur-
ing homes of their own is large in proper
ton when compared with other cities. There
is marked increase in the number of such
associations in st. Paul, and a consequent
increase in the number of home seekers.
The associations are doing good work for
people who would otherwise not save their
earnings. And the homes acquired now will,
in most instances, appreciate in value with
the growth of the city The associations are
also largely patronized by persons of some
means, as they find in them a safe and profit
able investment for money. The investment
is also desirable because the investors may
draw out the money paid i'll at any time.
The shares never sell below par and usually
are worth premium. JOHN B. OLIVIER.

With the immense crops all over the United
States, we are surely beginning an era of
prosperity similar TO that of 1881. 1 think
that from this time forward we shall see a
gradual improvement in values of all prop
erty. Real estate is the last thing to go down
and the last thing to go up. Farm lands are
having a boom. The same is true Of stocks
of all kinds. Grain and provisions are hav
ing boom. There is a boom in the whole
sale business of the Northwest. The eoun-
try merchants will do an enormous business
this fall, and it will soon be time for real es
tate to get its share of boom. 1 do not look
forward to any rapid advance, but to slow
and steady gain, by reason of the confidence
of our people in the future of the Twin
Cities. ANsEL oPPENHEIM.

A TIP FROM TOM.

President Thomas Lowry, of the 800"
line says:
THE 500 road will this year earn the full
interest on its cost. The Great Northern
will believe bring 55.00O,00O bushels of
wheat into ST. Paul this year, and all our
railroads and general trades look forward to
a season of abundant prosperity. There is
not much agitation of the silver question in
the Northwest. and our great crops will re-
move what little of this there is Boston
ought to take a great interest in the 500
road. We have just taken a train of freight
from Boston to st. Paul by. our line in four
days, while by Chicago it might have taken
week to have got through the Chicago ter
minals alone.
Henry Clews has been taking a look into
the future, and here are the conclusions ne
has arrived at

THE GLOBE FORUM.

Notwithstanding the hard times there is
very much that could now be accomplished
in laying the foundations Of the future pros
perity of the city if the public spirited and
influential citizens would be energetic.
The building of the Hotel Ryan was at the
time considered a gigantic enterprise. 1t
was of immense benefit to the city; and yet
it never would have been erected but for the
sacrifices and earnest efforts of few public
spirited citizens who furnished a bonus.
None of them have been losers for the sac
rife.
The worlds Columbian exposition at Chi.
cago will occur in 1893. The months till then
will soon slip by. Thousands of cultivated
people who come to that exposition will ex-
tend their journey to st. Paul. We ought,
therefore, to do everything possible to make
our city attractive and to have 1t impress the
strangers who will then come as not only
prosperous place, but one where the CON-
forts of life are largely enjoyed. We want
more industries, and we need to hurry up in
respect to public library building and parks.
The men who have the most influence in our
city apparently are the men of wealth. and
they will be held very largely responsible for
the progress which the city is to make.

Glover dodder, the subject of our il.

The seeds terminate in the ground,
sending up slender leatiess stems which
Irvine about the clover and obtain nonr-

of the discs the lower part of the stem
dies and connection with the ground is
lost. The yellow threaG-like stems
continue to develop and grow until
the clover is covered by them and dies
from the loss of sap taken by the dod-
der. The only remedies known are to
obtain pure seed, or remove the dod-
der seed by screening, which may be
readily done because of its smaller size,

How Fertility Is Wasted.

When the water in ravines is dis
colored by the drainage from the barn
yards which border them somebody is
paying dearly for his irnprovideuce
and laziness. There may have been
some excuse for first settlers locating
their feeding yards in sheltered places
along the streams, but the practice
ought to have been abandoned long
ago The yards should be removed
from the ravines and placed on high
ground II such places are necessarily
bleak, shelter should be erected. Keep
your stock confined to the yards and
stables as much as possible and bed
them well with straw or refuse from
the haystacks. Permit no prairie hay
or straw to remain in the field because
