RED WING,

Owing to the favorable crop out
looks, business is decidedly improving.
Within a short time, several new bust.
city; and as to vacant houses, it is re-
ported that there are only four, and
they are not desirable.
Accident By Drowning. - Sunday
night witnessed the drowning of AL
bert j. Doyle, who, in company with
three others, was over OIL the island in
the evening. After staying there a
while, they decided TO return home,
and came over to the city on the ferry.
After reaching this side, they deter
mined to return to the island, which
they did. When ready 10 go home
the second time, they took skiff, but
before reaching shore, the boat Cap
sized with the result above stated.
The three who were saved, owe their
escape to the assistance rendered
them by policemen Batten and Gun
derson. If reports are true, and we
have no reason to disbelieve them,
this is another sad lesson of the effects
often resulting from the use of alco.
holic drinks.
In glancing over our city, we note:-
That much of the old sidewalks are
being removed and nav and wider
walks substituted.
That the roof of the main portion of
the Baptist church is being reshingled.
That there is rush at the "Golden
Rule, and the proprietor says he has
done twice as much business since
coming here as he expected to do.
That Prof. w. L. Beeman is out of
town visiting his Pierce county friends
and working up his school there.
That Profs. U. Curtis and A.. Rcsen.
berger will be with the business col.
lege again next year.
That Alex. Leitch and Johnny Full
Ter, of Maiden Rock. were in town last
week and remained over night with
friends.
That the Salvation Army folks car
ried case up to the supreme court
and il was decided that the city ordi-
nance prohibiting their marching with
drums, ETC., within the city limits
was void, and so they once more give
US free music in the evenings.

Why l Am a Protectionist.

am PrOtectionist because thrift
follows the enactment of wise laws.
Because | love my own country bet
ter than j do foreign countries.
Because Protection builds up our
towns into cities and enhances the val.
ne of our houses and lands.
Because every dollar sent abroad to
purchase goods that we can produce
at home makes US dollar the poorer.
Because Protection in this country
gives labor better wages than Free
Trade.
Because it is better for this country
to feed, clOthe and house our own
labor in this country, than to support
foreign labor in other countries with
our money.
Because it is true, as Peter Cooper
well said: mo goods purchased
abroad are cheap that take the place OF
our own labor and our own raw mater.

Poverty and Drunkenness.

The cry has been sounded, and par.
rotlike repeated, that poverty makes
drunkards of workingmen." If there
is any truth in the statement then il
is not to the credit of the man or men
who willfully adds crime to misfor-
tune. admit that the incentive to be.
come saving and industrious is not so
great where the earnings of labor are
cut down to the lowest possible figure,
but even then there is no excuse for
intemperance. If am in poverty it
should be my aim to elevate myself,
and it is stern duty with me to avoid
chat which will make me poorer.
Every sensible man knows that the
liquor habit leads to degradation, dis
ease, dirt and death. Not only does
poverty follow intemperance, but i'll
health and every other ill will as
suredly follow in its wake. 1t is
therefore unjust when we excuse the
intemperance of poor man to lay the
blame of it to his poverty. We find
drunkards everywhere, and, in pro-
portion to their numbers, the wealthy
have more victims to the liquor habit
than the working people, SO that it is
not poverty that is to blame.-Terence
y. Potcderlu.

Commissioner Raum, the United
States pension agent, gets some curl
Gus letters once in while. The fol-
lowing was received the other day
from an old veteran of Des Moines, Ia:
Il refuse to accept this magnificent
sum of $500 and the allowance of 81
a month for the reason that it seems
to me TO come in the shape of an in
suit. don't care To be called leech
by our soldier-hating friends for the
niggardly sum of 81 month. 1t looks
as If you were getting extravagant.
You are in fair way to reduce the
surplus and bankrupt the government
if sou are allowing many such princely
fortunes to the brave boys in blue.
thought the days of 80 pensions ended
with the administration of Cleveland.
You can file this certificate away in
some old pigeon.hole and if by the
time die it has accumulated enough
to give me decent burial perhaps
some of my heirs will call for it. If
not, give it to some generals widow
that cannot draw more than 81 goo or
$4,000 a year."

A Chapter on Widows.

Bob Burdette thinks MARI ying a
widow is not the best guarantee of a
life of connubial bliss. lie says: mo,
son, don't marry widow. She is too
calculating, and loving by arithmetic
is not rOmatic. Real love should not
have any more sense than bottle of
soda water suddenly tapped. 1t should
sizz and fuss just like there wasn't
anything else on earth. All the elec-
trio spark from the heart that has not
been tempered with The widow is
all right, and she is pretty---but don't
marry her. The idea of second hand
heart appears insipid-no foam. No,
son, don't make a pawnbroker shop
out of your trusting heart. If you do
marry, teach your wife that you, who
gained her heart under the pale glitter
of the milky way, where the restless
young meteor chases its love across
the beavens-1 say, convince her that
you were at the barber shop until /
O'Clock A. N. There is no memory So
pleasant as the knowledge that your
wife knows you would not lie! But
the widow is too fly. She will kiss
her second edition at 7:45 o'clock P. NJ.
1t will be duty kiss, not like the
gush of the geysers OF the Rockies,
but tired and lethargic. She viii not
coil about you like the helpless and
enticing ivy, while her golden tresses
wander over your collar. She will kiss
you by geOmetrical measurement. and
say at parting: George, dear, it is just
7;45 O'Clock. 1t will take you just five
minutes to get drink, twenty minute
TO get shaved. and five minutes for a
shine. Here is a dollar, dear. Bring
back 65 cents and return at Sis O'Clock
please. as we will have bridal calls to-
night. No. boy, don't marry a CON-
mercisl college. Get hold of girl
who thinks what you say is true, and
it will take her fifteen years to find
out what mistake she has made.

Nicotine Poisoning.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, in enumerating cases of fatal
nicotine poisoning, says:
Another somewhat similar case was
that of Mr.. Frederick Ives of New
Haven. Mr.. Ives was man of unu-
sual business acumen. He mad built
up large fortune for himself; he was
strong Republican, and he owned the
leading Republican newspaper of New
Haven, that one which now Mr.. Lynde
Harrison, who has achieved some no.
toriety by reason of his correspond.
ence in reference to the Connecticut
political middle, controls. Mr.. Ives,
from being an occasional smoker, be.
came an incessant one. Like Mr..
Booth, he was never without tobacco
in his waking hours, and he smoked
the strongest cigars which he could
obtain. When the effect of this mar
cotizing began to be apparent, Mr..
Ives friends pleaded with him; but it
seemed in his case, as in that of Del
monico, as though he preferred to con-
tinue his cigar and to enjoy the drowsy
lethargy rather than to give it up and
make fight for healthy vigor again.
At last sickness came to him, and
when the physicians administered
medicines to him they found that
their effect was absolutely neutralized
by the nicotine in his system, and even
the strongest drugs had no more effect
than would a glass of water. He
passed away, drowsed off. went to
sleep, so to speak, without waking,
and his case is now referred to by tde
physicians as one of the chief illus
trations of what nicotine poisoning
will do

Fifty.fve millions of dollars saved
to the people of the United States is
the record of the Mckinley law for
the first nine months. Free sugar &C.
counts for about one-half of the reduc-
tion, and the benefit OF this is felt on
every table in the land. The other
half is accounted for by the fact that
laces, hats, cutlery, wooden cloth,
dress goods, etc, to the amount of
many millions, are no longer bought
from European manufacturers, but
are purchased from Americans. This
means added prosperity to trade. 1t
means that factories will be kept run
ming that continued European impor-
tations would have closed; it means
that men and women are and will be
employed who would otherwise be
seeking in vain for work. 1t means
the American market for the Ameri.
can people-New York Press.
