see him back and shake hands with him, if
we don't agree with the wisdom Of his poll
tics. faint like it might be, you see.
Jerry, he's INT of US, and he amt ashamed
of it. Amt got no cause to be, as l know,
but it's different like with some folks what
gets to be somebody and theu goes back on
their old friends. But here's Viroqua, and
as YOU get no further just drop out and look
at the old mans farm. 'Tain't but q mile
out. First house you come to; you can't
miss it,"
Everybody in Viro1un Can step to his
front door and point to the wiudmills that
mark the farm of Uncle Jerry. Pretty
much everybody in town, it may DO re-
marked, has either q newspaper cut or a
more p%retentious cut of the secretary of
agriculture pasted up or hung up against
the wall somewhere in their house, store or
office. Perhaps the inhabitants, too, look
with Il little different and some greater in
terest on the weather signal that is raised
to the flagstaff of the principal business
block every morning at 10 o'clock, than
would tho people of other cities and towns.
But people elsewhere would probably like
to know something about Uncle Jerry's
farm. 1t lies only Il good walking distance
nothward along the very road over which
its owner in years gone by used to drive a
stage. Descending from a hill to the edge
of the town the big white windmills loom
above a grove of naples that hides from
view the farm buildings. The farm occu-
pies the highest point of land in all the
country round, and from it q view of a wide
extent of landscape is commanded. The

The Chicago, St. Paul u Kansas City was
the first railroad in the country to issue

lar lines in the northwest. With its termi-
mails in Chicago, Kansas City and st. Paul,

Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas are
tapped by its lines.
The general headquarters of the road is
at st. Paul, while tho freight and pas

pany's trains arrive at and depart from the
Grand Central passenger station, COM
pleted at the beginning of the present year,
and acknowledged to be without r peer in
this country. The three main lines Of ths
road unite at Oslwoin, in Northeastern
Iowa. Aside from those are several short
branches, all of importance, the longest
being from Sumner to Hampton. Iowa.
The latter state ia divided nearly in halves
by the road. which crosses its verv finest
portion. The mileage in Missouri, Kansas

in lllionols again increases, the northern
and most populcus part Of the Prairie

Much OF tho SUCCESS OF the road is due to
the ability and energy of a railway man
we'll known to many in Rochester, W. Il.
Bugenbark, the traffic mauager of the road.
In his intercourse with the patrons of tho
road lie has won thousands OF friends for
himself and his company.
The equipment Of tho Chicago, st. Paul

miles south of the main line,
on a bright October morning that
most delightful season of the year when not
a tiny cloud spots the deep blue of autumn
skies, the season of Indian summer, a pano-
rama suggestive CT rustic quistude and
prosperity passes slowly before the gaze.
Not one of those views which excite pas
sions or emotions, but one that is dream
inspiring and is calculated to make one sat
listed with being alive. AS far AZ eye can
see there is the same succession of rolling
meadows, brown stuble fields, fields of
shocked corn, yellow and sore from fost

growths wearing the brightest fall colors.
And to complete the picture herds Of sleek
looking cattle are scattered over the OK
panse of past ure, tiocks OF sheep dot
the low, dundee hill tops and frisky colts
dash away from tho disturbing steam cars
and stand and look after them with wonder
in their gaze. The richness of tho coun-
try and the fertility of the soil are appar-

train, And fthe heart Of this country is
located the home of Secretary Rusk.

The Minnesota Columbian Exposition
Commissioners Said to BE Disheartened.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 2.-There has been
considerable dissatisfaction reported
among the Minnesota Columbian exposi-
ton board. The Pioneer Press publishes
an interview with President Monfort in
regard to the 1umors. Colonel Monfort
was asked if it were true, as reported,
that Secretary G. McC. Reeve was on
the point of resigning owing to the hos
tility of the country press and the seem
ing impossibility Of securing the funds
with which to make state exhibit
that would rebound to the credit of Min
nesota. The report was also current
that Chairman Monfort would in all
likelihood follow the secretarys example.
"Well," replied Colonel Monfort, s'the
members Of the commission have felt
from the outset that the $4,000 appro-
priation would be only too inadequate,
and they feel discouraged. l am sorry
that Mr.. Reeve has given out anything
that looks like personal expression OF
opinion. The commission meets on the
10th and if there is anything to be de
cided it will be then"

position as president"

as practicable, gathering all the facts
that manufactures, transportation,

them to the final determination in way

INDIAN LoeeERs.
They Need Outfits With Which to Carry
on OneratiOns

They Need Outfits With Which to Garry
on Operations.
WASHINGTON. Sept. Am inspector
of the Indian office has reported to the
department here that large amount of
timber has been burned over OH the Lac
du Flambeau reservation, which is un-
der the La Pointe agency in Wisconsin.
II is estimated that between 100000 900
and 50,000.000 feet have been killed by
the forest fires, and unless it is soon dis
posed Of it will be entirely destroyed
The Indian bureau has no funds on hand
with which to equip the Indians for
the logging and thus put the timber on
the market. The law says that
the dead and down timber on
the reservations must be disposed
Of by the Indians, they to carry on
the logging operations and the timber
sold for their benefit. Acting Commits
sioner Belt has written to Agent Leahy
asking that officer to see if arrangements
cannot be made with Farmer Sullivan at
the agency, who is practical lumber
man. by which the Indians may be fur
aished an outfit by the dealers in lumber
SO that they may this winter engage in
logging the great amount of dead and
down timber on their lands, which will
be useless if not removed this winter.
