THERE Is Joy at Manchester College.
At the commencement exercises We'd
nesday, Rev Mr.. Platter, financial ag-
ent Of the college, announced that the
necessary to pay the debt Of
-, ~ been raised. All the pledges
aB had been made were made on the
;ajtion that s125; 1000 be raised, and
c.;;s#s amount and 81, 900 more had been
made up. Great demonstration fol-
lowed this announcement and the stu
dents and friends Of the college spent
a short time in a praise meeting.
Hardly had the exercises been COM
pIeted when a telegram was received
from New York donating 1000 more.
This makes total Of Sl31, 000-enough
to discharge all Indebtedness and in
sure the financial well being Of the
college. The college will now come
into the enjoyment of requests which
were conditioned on the removal Of
the debt, and a bright future opens
before it. The educational standing
of the college is high; it has wealthy
church behind it, and no obstacle now
interposes to its future greatness.
There is talk of removing Albert Lea
College to Manchester.

Two more stars viii be added TO flag
of this country two weeks from to-day
making A in ali. In this connection
the Minneapolis Journal says:
Only a few days ago occurred the an
niyersary Of the adoption by reSOlu-
tion Of congress Of the original flag OF
the then infant union. During the
ia years which have since passed,
from little fringe Of commemorative
upon the Atlantic, the union has eX-
banded by magnificent advances across
the continent. New stars have been
added as the wilderness bloss0med
with the energies of an unc0nqured
and uncomfortable people. Stars re-
lected in the Pacific from the ample
folds Of the Union flag and in the wa
tiers of the Gulf Of Mexico. The
stripes broadened, the blue field wild
ened, the stars came out as on a sum-
mer night, as the flag Of Spain, Of
Britain. of Mexico retired before it.
And when the slave states Of the
transient eonfederacy had temporari-
ly dishonored the splendid symbol Of
indeStructable union. prouder than
ever futtered the flag over the South
ern people. 1t could not be put away
by rebellious children. -Four hags
have disappeared before the Stars and
Stripes. And others are yet TO dlSap-
pear before it. For it is the flag OF
destiny. and it will wave one day over
the boundless continent. 1t is the
only flag worthy TO wave over such a
possession.

Now that the heated season is omit
may be. well to repeat the caution in
regard TO drinking ice water in guam
titles. Every drink Of cold water
taken into the stomach during the
process Of digestion, checks for a
while, either partially or wholly, the
process, and deranges the functions Of
the stomach. Ice water may not be
so bad if slipped slowly and taken in
small quantities, yet most people fail
TO observe this wholesome rule, and
injure their digestive organs by eX-
cessive drinking Of ice water, TO the
use Of which much illhealth and many
serious diseases are due. Though it
may not be Immediately felt, it's sure
to come on sooner or later, A whole
some drink for heated workers has
been tried for many years with the
best results, consisting Of pail OF
oatmeal and water. For many years
it has been the custom to have this
drink in the engine and fire rooms Of
the transatlantic steamships for the
use Of the fremen and trimmers. The
oatmeal beverage proved far more re-
freshing and strengthening than 'grog
which generally consisted Of good
Jamaica rum. The western hunters
long ago considered it the best Of drink
as it is at once nourishing and salts
flying, yet stimulative. 1t is popular
in the Brooklyn navy yard, two and
one-half pounds of oatmeal being put
into pail of moderately cool water.
In Europe and America it is a popular
drink among those engaged in hot and
tOilsome labors. 1t matters not what
heat the workman must undergo. he
may consume any quantity Of the oat-
meal water without any injurious
consequences whatever, while it is
more strengthening than spi ritous
beverages.

THE trip Of the whaleback which
recently started from Duluth TO Liv-
erpool loaded with 10000 bushels Of
wheat, is a new departure in transpor-
tation, and if successful viii play an
important part in commerce hereafter.
When wheat and -four can be loaded
at Duluth upon the boats that unload
at Liverpool, new era Of prosperity
opens for the Northwest, insuring our
commercial and industrial independ-
ence through the sharp railroad COM
petition that must follow. The whale
backs are to be uteliZed on the Pacific
coast as well as on the Atlantic and
the great lakes. The short time that
these steel freight boats have been in
existence has been sufficient TO prove
their worth.

The farmers about Pelican Rapids
are still suffering from grasshODpers,
and it is feared that unless they are
destroyed greater numbers will hatch
out next year. A gentleman who was
interviewed at Fergus Falls on the
matter said yesterday, among other
things, that the double wings are de-
veloping fast on countless thousands
OF the hoppers. Two men to-day
could catch a bushel in a few minutes
with large-mouth sack. This is
doubtless exaggerated, yet the matter
should be looked into.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 15, 1891.
There will undoubtedly be four state
tickets in the field in Ohio this year
The Prohibitionists nominated their
ticket few days ago, but it viii
probably cut only small figure in the
campaign. The ticket which will
awaken the most uncertainty and
cause the most apprehension among
the old parties is the one that will be
nominated by the Peoples party at
convention, informally called, 10 meet
in August The indications at pres
ent are that it viii make no serious
inroads upon the Republican party,
but what the developments Of the
campaign may be no one can tell. The
Republicans, however, will not per-
nit it to effect their course in any es-
sential particular. They will move
sraight forward in the line Of sound
principle, as they did in 1875 when it
was given them to stay the tide Of
greenback imitation and save the
country from bankruptcy and dis
honor.
The five judges whom President
Harrison has just appointed to con-
stitute the court Of private land
claims will find a large budget Of
business on their desks as soon as they
have qualified Titles TO about 81,
000, 000 acres Of land are TO be adjust
ed. The cases have long been hung
up in the interior department, and
many attempts TO adjust the ques-
lions at issue have been Intellectual.
The land is in the central western
portion Of the country, chiefly in Wy
oming, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah,
Nevada and Western Nebraska. The
clouds on the titles date back TO the
status Of the properties at the time
when the present claimants or their
representatives attempted to gain
possession of them. Al this land
is embraced in the great tract ac-
quired by this country from Mexico in
1873. Many az lions are to be set
tied. and the Interpretation # acUs Of
congress a. between tie TWO
governments Wi - a part Of the -uty
of the new court. Under the act the
term of the judges will expire Decem-

A LETTER from Charles Francis
Adams. ex-President Of the Union
Pacific railway, to f. H. Wells, the
Alaskan explorer, concerning the lat
tiers published scheme for building
railroad to Alaska, is construed as a
conservative admission that the Alas
kan railway may actually be built
within the next twenty years, thus
forming link in the chain that is TO
connect the Siberian and American
systems Of railway. 1t is but a matter
of time. The child is now living who
will enter the cars at England's west
tern extremity, cross England, pass
under the channel through tunnel,
cross Europe and Asia to Alaska, and
run down North America, Central and
South America TO the PatagOnian
wastes. without journeying otherwise
than over the steel rails and in Pull
man coaches.

The daily statement Of the q. ).
treasurer Friday showed an ap-
parent net deficiency of over three
quarters Of a million dollars. 1t is a
sign of the stability Of our finances
and the confidence which the world
has in our securities, that this at
tracts only an idle curiosity. There
is no Quaking On Wall street; the
bond holders do not seek TO unload
their government securities: no con-
vulsive panic sweeps over the coun-
try. 1t has been known for some
time that the expenditures of the
government have nearly exhausted
the ordinary supply Of funds in the
treasury, yet this has not been held
worthy of serious consideration in fl
nancial circles or elsewhere. The
causes lie in the curtailing of customs
receipts through the large number Of
articles placed upon the free list by
the last congress, and the reduction
and REIMBURSEMENT Of duties on arti-
cles still taxed, while at the same
time the pension expenditures have
largely increased, and much money
has been put into circulation through
a liberal system Of public improve
ments. Nothing shows the conf
dence which everywhere prevails as
does the fact that $50, 100000 has re-
Gently been exported to Europe, with
no financial disturbance in the coun-
try, and no apprehension. The banks
are in good condition, and their cash
reserves were never larger. Great
shipments of breadstuffs TO supply the
European deficiency will bring back
this gold. Every European steamship
company has sold its cargo space
months ahead, and tramp steamers
are preparing to assist in moving the
grain across the Atlantic. The har-
vest commences on the southern linn
it in a week and will gradually move
northward until the Red River valley
sends its millions TO the warehouses.
The financial and industrial outlook
of thescountry was never better.

absorption of the Georgia Central
Railroad by the West Point Termin-
