A Democratic Estimate.

St. Paul Globe: The grand old man
of the house is Hon. o. B. Turrell, of
Redwood county. Though one of the
oldest, intellectually he is one of the
brightest members, as we'll as readiest
and most effective speakers. He is a
Republican, but in all questions that
have come before the legislature this
session his actions have not been gov
erned by partisanship. There has been
q broad liberal Interpretation on his
part upon all weighty matters, and his
conclusions have been those of an
earnest and p progressive representative
of the people. He is, and properly 80,
beloved by every member on the floor
of the house. His speeches, always
clear cut and incisive, receive the most
respectful attention and carry more
weight than those of any other mem
Der. There is none of that inane vap-
oring about his utterance which char
acterizes those members who are con-
tinually speaking. When Mr.. Turrell
addresses the house there is always
something to be learned. The mem
bers know This, and that reason he
is to be classed aInong the popular
and instructive speakers in the house.
There have, ur ztunately, been too
few of them t. .ssion. There are
scores of members who are unable to
intelligently explain to the house the
meaning of the provisions of any par
ticular bill which they may have intro
duced. Mr.. Turren is most straight
forward and plain-spoken. There is
no trimming, Sinking of responsible
ty or any of those Objectionable feat
ures which characterize the politician
member. His whole course this ses-
sion has been that of representative
of the people, earnest to remedy all
abuses complained of aud enact prop
er, at the same time conservative, re-
forms. The course of some members
has been that of making record for
future political advancement. It is to
be regretted there have not been more
men in the house of the caliber of Mr..
Turrel.

The Minneapolis Journal of Monday
contained the latest news in the Holden
case. 1t says: Gov. Merriam was seen
this morning with regard to the Holden
matter. Have you reason to believe
that new evidence will be forthcoming

was asked. "No. So far as any evil
dence before me now is concerned, the
law will take its course" HAS any
effort been made since the reprieve to
submit evidence bearing on the con-
demned mans case7" swell, none has
reached me I really expect nothing
of sufficient importance can be presen-
ted to justify my interference with the
execution of the sentence. As matters

ARBOR DAY, MAY lsT.

I wish to ask every teacher in Red
wood county to commemorate the day,
known as "Arbor Day." which the gov
ernor has selected this year as May
LIST. Let appropriate exercises be held
and let each district school plant at
least four good trees. Last year we re-
ceived word that 1873 trees we're plant
ed on Arbor Day, but many have since
died. 1t is not enough that tree be
simply planted, but it must be cared
for afterward. It is not enough that
tree be simply put into the ground,
but it shou d be planted carefully. 1t
is nearly useless to plant tree in the
raw or unsubdued soil. The hole
should be large enough to admit free
ly the roots of the tree after which
they should be carefully covered with
cultivated or subdued soil we'll moist
ened. The tree should then be mulched
with half rotted straw. So many of
the trees planted last year we're too
small and SO poorly planted that many
will need to be replanted. A tree two
inches in diameter, properly pruned
before planting and then planted with
care will in nearly all instances live
and be future pride to the planter.
Some teachers do not seem to know
much about what kind of a tree to
plant. No one should be contented to
plant tree which in after years will
prove worthless as an ornament. Soft
wood trees are more rapid in growth
than hard wood varieties, but the plant
or must remember that his tree is to be
represe: tative of good taste. Elm, ash,
and hard maple are best for both orna
ment and endurance. Box elder, soft
maple and poplar are poor trees for
future use. They are rapid growers,
but when ten or twelve years old seem
to be at their best. The one great OBJ
iect of our common schools is to teach
the children to plan wisely for the fu-
ture and to do this, is to turn the mind
of the child toward the future bless
ings coming from present acts. We
hope to hear of the best record this
year and it can be SO made if the prop
er interest is taken. ST.. RACE,
Co, Supt.

Southside Teacher Meetings.

Seuthside Teacher Meetings.
Meeting called to order by the pres
ident, Mr.. Kranz. Owing to the alb
sence of the secretary Elsie Pryor was
appointed secretary pro tenn.
The exercises were commenced with
a song well delivered by Misses Jorg,
enson, Anderson and Praxel and Mrs
Chester.
By request of the teachers the Les.
son in Longfellow was omitted, and in
it's place Mr.. Race gave a very inter
esting talk on "What 1 saw in Dixie.
He spoke of the social and educational
condition of the South, noting the great
difference in the customs of the people
and manner of teaching there, from
the North. His description of the
Mammoth Cave was particularly inter.
esting. Those not present missed a
great treat treat. It is hoped he will
tell us more of his trip in the south at
the next meeting.
The teaching of Advanced Geogra.
ply was discussed by Miss Safely. She
presented an outline of the work to the
teachers, and explained it to the sat-
sfaction of all. This was followed by
song.
Mr.. I. I. Bargen then took up the
subject of Grammar and presented the
way to teach grammar in very favor
able light. He was followed by Elsie
Pryor ON the same subject.
After recess the following program
was presented by the committee, Mr..

next meeting: Teachers Influence

More DogmatisIn.

Mr.. EDITOR: As the dog question
seems to be on the docket just now I
thought it an appropriate time to ask
w. D. if he does not think it his duty
to furnish his quota of support and
amusement for those privileged char
acters, the dogs. For the dog has
more right than you or I, or any one
else. If you or I, or our children,
should 90 about stealing the rubbers
and arctics which are temporarily left
out the door, we would be hauled up
for it and have to pay the severest pen
atty, and justly too. But if there is a
lady in this town who has not suffered
from such kind of dog pilfering, 1
would go as far to see her as I would
to see Barnum's circus. The dog has
the right to invade any ones premises,
tread down his garden plants, dance a
figure four on his onion bed, drive his
chickens out of his yard, and if he does
not catch one and carry it off, it is be-
cause he is not smart enough. And if
Biddy or Tabby has bit of food put
out for their speciol benefit, the dog is
sure to dispose of it and drive Tabby
up tree or under the barn. 1t makes
one shudder to contemplate the terri
bic consequences which would result
from mad dog getting into the horde
of loose canine running about in this
village. II is very curious state of
affairs, if there can't BIS some way de-
vised to do away with the cursed dog
nuisance. II. A. L.

of remedying the evil now existing in the
postoffice department regarding the promo
ton and pay of those entering that service
under the civil service rules, the National

Der authorized the drafting of a bill for
that purpose, which is to be presented to

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. Two Howard
street business blocks collapsed this after
noon and it is feared several pursons are
buried IN the ruins. One IF the blocks was
a four story brick, with stone front occu-
pied by Herrick 81 Sons, crockery iobbers.
The other was brick, three stories high, oc-
cupied by the bakery and confectionery of
S. B. Latferty. About twenty people were
in the dining room in the rear of the bakery
when an ominous cracking began They
Immediately rushed out of the back door
and all escaped safely. A number of clerks
and some customers in both stores were
painfully cut and bruised by flying debris,
while making their escape, but only Francis
Miner and Walter Stanley are thought to
be fatally hurt. Herrick and Lafferty
both say all their clerks got out
safely, but an eye witness saws
he saw two or three persons on the side
walk in front of Herrick's store when the
crash came, and that they must be buried
there. The debris is piled up on the side
walk ten feet deep and the fire department
is removing it as rapidly as possible. The
wall between the two blocks has been grad
ualiy undermined in the last few years by
water from an overtiowed sewer One
block was pronounced unsafe some time
ago, and Herrick said he yesterday called
the attention of the owner to the loose and
crumbling brick in the cellar wall.
Later to- night it is ascertained nobody
was buried in the ruins, as at first sup
posed
