RUMORED RESIGNATION

a rumor reached Worthington this
week that Hon. a. d. Perkins, Judge
Of the District Court, either had re-
signed that ctlice or contemplated do
ing 80 in the near future. Accord
ingly Attorney Wrbber was in Worth
inRton this week getting names to a
petition to the Governor, asking the
appointment of =. E. Brown ESQ.,, of
1.uvrrne, to the Judgeship to be thus
vacated. This is the exI ent of our in-
formation at this time. In this con-
nection it is also rumOred that Jud ze
Perkins has taken, or is about to take
this step, il order to accept an active
relation to the General Sunday School
work in this state. Concerning this,
however, we have no definite infOrma-
tion, except that the Judge is now
president Of the State Sunday School
Association and is also an officer of the
Association in this District. Should
these rumors be without foundation,
in fact, the mention of them will not
OO VbC ONOOoOu u DdI u W Any OUes
81 o I'D they be according to fact, the
Judge will set somewhat unusual,
yet commendable example of laying
down Il very honorable judicial posi-
ton to take an equally honorable one
In promoting the moral and spiritual
interests of the rising generation.
Whatever may be his future vocation
or position he will have, rs he always
has had, the respect which attaches to
a man who discharges the duties of
every public trust with conscientious
fidelity, and TO the satisfaction of those
he serves.
Since the above was written. the
minneapolis Tribune comes with NEIL
tion OF rumOr that Judge Perkins
had resigned to center the ministry, "
but as yet Gov. Merriam had received
no resignation.

Condition Drops,

Which he will manufacture in his
Laboratory, and keep for sale both
at Wholesale and Retail, at his
Drug Emporium, Worthington,
Minnesota.
This Remedy is made according
to formula of which the renowned
DR.. Shallenbern, Veterinary Sur
geon in the Prussian army, was the
author. These drops were used by
him in Army service with excel
lent specific results during the
Franco-Prussian war.
This EFFECTIVE PRESCRIPTION,
after being successfully used in
Europe and America for two gen.
erations became the property of
his grandson, and by him was sold
to its present proprietor, who has
secured the sole control of the
same for the United States.
The attention of dealers in Ned
icines, of Veterinary Surgeons, of
proprietors of Sale and Livery Sta
bles, of Farmers, Horse Trainers,
and dealers in General Merchan-
disc, is called to this much needed
and useful medicine. It will sell
rapidly in every community ~here
horses are reared or kept. The
''Distemper'' season creates an ur-
gent demand for this remedy. 1t
is not only D1sTEMPER CURE, but
also CONDITION MEDICINE, super
seding all so-called "Condition
Powders.' It is easily admins
tered. The effects are immediate
and beneficial.
Prompt attention will be given
to all orders. Retail price so cents

the trade. Direct at once to

THOSE THREE CALVES'' ONCE
MORE.


MORE.
EDITOR ADvANCE;-Mr. Shore, in
replying to my criticism of his fable of
the "Three Calves" has been led Into
. slight error, in part at least, by mis-.
apprehending my meaning. I do not
for moment lose sight of the fact that
one OF the greatest elements of success
in this world is the ability to seize op-
pOrtunities and make the best use Of
them; and, on the other hand, that lack
OF that ability is the cause of very
many failures. But when I wrote my
former article l could not help having
in mind land ono view. of the fable
suggested it,) what have often heard
men say in criticising the Farmers Al.
lance, and other reform movements,
that the farmers had better say at home
and attend to their farms. and let the
lawyers, bankers and politicians attend
to the political and financial affairs of
the country. Now, it seems to me, that
the affairs Of bOth State and Nation
haye been run in that way too long al-
ready for the good Of the whole people,
The result is that while tho farmer
and the lab"rilg man have been ut
work producing. wealth the lawyers,
bankers and politicians have managed
to get y lot Of class laws passed to ab
sorb the wealth without giving any
thing, or but ve y little, in return IN,

WATER WO2KS-FIRE PROTxC.
... TON.


The disastrous fires which have re-
Gently occurred at Window, as we'll as
those occurring in towns OF like size,
have "tirred up the thoughts of num-
ber Of the prominent citizens of Wor
thi"gton in reference to y more ade-
quste water supply and protection
against fire. In all our acquaintance
with cities and towns we have never
known \ community composed of 80
many people and having 30 much per-
tshsble property with like exposure and
90 little protection against the dtstruc.
tions Of fire.
Worthington is without an adequate
or convenient water supply, aside from
IRE protection. There are many dry
wells. and many families depend upon,
Lake Okabena for water supply. Quite
q large amount Of money is paid out
for ice in winter and water in summer
for family use. This indicates that
= permanent, reliable water supply is
greatly needed.
The objection usually urged iu op-
position to water works erection is the
expense, and the hardship of increased
taxation, especially the burden upon
small property owuers. But many of
these tax payers are paying for hauling
Ice and water large amount, PERHAPS
larger amount than TIE increase Of
their tax would be. Then the presence
OF III adequate water supply would
lessen the rates of insurance. Then
the man Of limited means is apt to ne
glect insurance. When Il fire occurs
the poor man loses his all.
We commend this subject to tho dis.
passionate consideration Of our people.
1t is our duty to provide against the
devastatious Of fire, as far rs human
wisdom and forethought may or can.
In this connection. while waiting the
maturing and carrying out of proper
action, which will require considerable
time> the public spirited young men Of
the village should organize a company
which could lie made HI efficient work.
ing f"rce in case of fire. Under eff

much, while \ crowd of men gathered
without any one authorized to lead or
command, could do little toward say

such company would have respon-
sibility pl iced upon them which they
do not now feel. Certainly no harm

providing your own designs for EN-

Flowers are preserved by dipping them
in melted paraffine. BY moistening
