General Manager Ward Of the

that Pierre had complied with her part
Of the contract in grading sixty miles
out from Aberdeen and fifteen miles

grading from Oakes to Aberdeen and
that they expected to have iron laid to
Aberdeen and a portion if not all OF
the iron laid to Pierre yet this fall.

Union soldier pension business as fol-
lows: 81 must take stronger ground
against the infamous pension swindle,
for saw lots of lazy, healthy bummers,
able bodied, who should be at work on
the farms, and would, were it not that
they are supplied in idleness by PEN
sion. They are no better than our ex-
confederates, who are compelled to earn
their living by manual labor, and are,
therefore, much more self respecting
lot of fellows Had our southern ALI
ance the power we would abrogate all
pensions. The war was over more than
twenty-five years ago, and our southern
people won't stand that swindle any
longer"

THE WHEAT PROSPECT

There has been vast amount OF
advice wasted upon the wheat grower
in regard to holding or marketing their
product. The flow from the field to the
marts and shipping points has been
large, and probably not materially af-
fected by any Of the circulars or exhor-
tations. The exports have been more
than million bushels per day, in place
of million a week laat year. The
prices have not advanced as expected, or
the reports of need in Europe warrant.
There is no room for question that there
is an unprecedented shortage in the
grain products of Europe; but why do
not the figures bear corresponding rela-
tion to the seemingly assured demand ?
The reply that the supply keeps pace
with the calls for the grain from abroad
is deemed sufficient. Tt is probable that
more wheat is going over the water
than there would be if the prices had
| jumped up as expected. Supplies are
being gathered in view OF the larger de.
mand that must come later. Unless
prices are to advance very materially,
the reports of failure OF crops in Europe
have been greatly overdrawn. There
has been no time for many years wher
in sipte of the big crops in this country
there was such assurance that the de.
mand would exceed the supply. Those
who are able to bide their time in nsell
ing their crops can certainly see nc
ground for apprehension that gener.
GUS swelling of the figures will not be
had. st. Paul Globe

FOUR WoRLDLINGS

A few months ago the world heard the
tale Of "Old Hutch the prince of
spectators, going to the wall, financial
lily and mentally. Within few weeks
came the story of Balmaceda, the Chilan
tryant, losing his throne and committing
suicide. Then came the report of
Boulanger, the exiled Partisan political
adventurer, shooting himself oyer the
grave of his mistress. Finally, news
comes that Wall streets great speculator,
Jay Gould, is siezed with fit of hys-
terics and threatened with mental ply
sical breakdown.
The four cases make a good sermon
on idolatry. Each of the four had his
idol around which was centered his
world. Jay Gould found all of earthly
interest in the railway pool. Boulanger
banked his life on the love of mistress
whose purse he looked upon as the step
ping stone to throne Balmaceda's
world lay in unlitimited authority over
Chili's purse, army and laws; "Old
Hutch found his heaven of bliss and
ambition in the wheat exchange. Each
lived his narrow life with all of the in
tensity and abandonment which charaet-
erizes Bernhardt in the character of La
Tosca, but with the added blood earnest
ness of dead reality. When wheat went
against old ''Old Hutch" his faith and
hope in life went out. When the death
of Boulanger's mistress came as fatal
blow to his political ambition, the world
to him was dead. The loss of the
Chilian throne was to Balmaceda the
taking OF life.
The cases of Gould, Hutchinson, Boul-
anger and Balmaceda preach powerful
sermons. They warn men to build on
solid foundations. The sands of world
liness go and come with shifting tides.
Life that it worth living rests on the
moral substratum. Fame, power or
riches may come legitimately, but as
rewards and duties not ends rewards OF
toll and sacrifice in the battle for the up
lifting of the race, and duties that de.
mand increase of sacrifcial toll in the
same great cause.

: NEEDED LEGISLATION.
Baking Powder Bill Passed by the Min
nesota Senate.

Baking Powder Bill Passed by the Min
nesota Senate.
The recent newspaper discussion of
the dangerous qualities of ammonia
comes from the alarming increase of it's
use in baking powders. People who alb
sorb it in small quantities from day to
day suffer from slow ammonia pois-
oning. Taken internally in sufficient
quantities it eats away the coatings of
the stomach and intestines and causes
death. Slow ammonia poisoning pro-
duces various forms of stomach trouble.
Not one woman in ten thousand wonld
use an ammonia baking powder if she
knew it. Such powders not only under
mine the health, but ammonia imparts a
sallow and blotched complexion.
Following is the bill recently passed
by the Minnesota senate. It's the
danger signal which the law throws out
for the protection of the people:
A BILL FOR AN ACT TO REGULATE THE
TRAFFIC IN BAKING POWDER.
Section Amy person who shall
knowingly sell or procure the sale, or
offer for sale of any package or can OF
baking powders, containing any am
monia in it not distinctly, legibly and
durably branded, stamped or marked in
a conspicuous place with the words in
the English language 'srhis Baking
Powder contains ammonia" in letters OF
great plea, or any letters equivalent
thereto in length, shall be guilty OF q
misdemeanor, and punished by q fine
not less than $40 nor more than $50;
shall be confined in the County Jail not
less than ten days or more than twenty
days or by both fine and Imprisonment,
at the discretion of the court
Section The sale or offer for sale oi
/ the substance mentioned in the fore
going section in packages not stamped
marked, branded, or labelled as therein
required, shall be prima- -facie evidence ol
knowledge of the character of said subs
taDce, ON the part OF the person SO sell
ing or offering for sale and his employ
4 er.
Section 3This ACT shall be in force
on and after its passage.
4 Note-An incident occurred In the house
when the senate bill came up for passage
in reference to an amendment proposet
BY Mr.Diment. It was opposed BY seyera
members. Mr.. Feig said that il the bill
as it came from the senate was all righ
then the amendment was all wrong
The amendment compelling the printing
OF the word ssAmmonia' ON the labe
only affected the Royal Baking Powder
and no wonder they felt the senate bill
Il was a blow at them.
