Congressman John Lind-I consider
that She appropriation of $4,000 for
Minnesota's worlds fair was quite in
adequate for the occasion. MY idea
was to have put from 1925, 900 to $50, 900
into building, which should be artis-
tically constructed of Minnesota build
ing stone and timber. We have quartz
ite in Rock and Pipestore counties,
Kasota stone, trap, sandstone and gran
ite in other parts of the state. We have
also magnificent hard-woods which
cannot be surpassed. Erect an artistic
and substantial building of such mater
iaIs polished and in the rough, finished
and unfinished, and it would be mar.
vel to all visitors and credit and a
profit to the state. This building could
have been filed with our agricultural,
mineralogical and manufacturing pro-
ducts at a small cost to the state, if, in.
deed it cost us anything. The mining,
lumber and railroad companies would
undoubtedly attend to the matter of ex-
hibits, and Minnesota would have been
represented at the worlds fair in a
manner which would have attracted the
attention of the whole world to our state
as a desirable field for investment But
you say the bill provides that nolpart of
the appropriation shall be expended on
buildings, nor shall the commissioners
incur any Indebtedness without becom-
ing personally responsible for the same.
This being the case, the bill is simply a
humbug. 1t ties the hands of the com.
mission and practically leaves them
powerless unless private citizens come
forward patriotically and help them out
by subscription or guarantee.-Pio.

all of the poverty which have ever

the worst of it. For human nature is in

the tyrannical intrusion of the state in

only effect of trying to make everybody
total abstainer by force is to convert
the people who are the subjects of such
despotism into community of hypo-
critics. The law will be evaded and will be
broken by the common consent of all but

The Ladies' FAIR.

May 25rd and 24th were festive days
at Turner Hall and in the park sur
rounding. The ladies Of the Society
and their friends had done all in their
power to make the Fair success, and,
if it is anything of a reward to say that
their labors were not in vain, they are
certainly entitled to have it said. Every
thing about the hall was tastefully ar

handiwork were to be seen wherever
the eye wandered, and ready to meet
the visitor with attractive smiles, we're
young ladies, fully as charming again
as the goods that they we're selling.
Fruit and candy booths, lemonade
and "Mai Wein'' stand, fish pond,
boquet and flower stands, an egg-tree
from which eggs, containing fortunes to
suit the taste, fell only at so much fall,
a dime'museum and gypsy fortune
teiler's retreat, all contributed to fill
the general Golfer and make the Fair q
splendid financial success. The dime
museum in particular was we'll worth
seeing. Relics of two hundred years
ago were there on exhibition, and col
lections of old and rare currency, coins,
papers and other valuable+ curiosities,

was we'll spent. From all of these
sources the society received in the neigh

II. j. ESsler, junior editor OF the st.
Peter Herald as we'll as the handsomest
man in St. Peter, has gone to New
York to tie himself to another. The
bride, for whose winning charms
was reserved the Herald's pride, is to
be congratulated upon her choice, but
in the midst of her joy, she should not
forget to occasionally sympathize with
the other fair ones of St. Peter who
have been attentive admirers of
''Jim's'' dark-eyed beauty and bewitch-
ing smiles. But, be that as it may, the
Review editor from the realm of ''sin.
gle cussedness'' wishes both life of
happiness.
A useful commission will the immi-
grafton investigating commission be
which has been appointed by the trea.
sury department. The work of this
commission will enable congress to pass
the most effective laws to restrict immi-
grafton to the desirable class. We are
about to be invaded by hordes of Rus
sian Jews, which even the Hebrew aid
societies in the East look forward to
with apprehension. The people are
much better than Italians, doubtless,
because they mind their own business
and don't make stabbing pastime;
but they do not mix with other people
and sedulously maintain their alien
micn. The committee will visit all the
countries from which such immigrants
come. These Russian Jews are
scourged out of their own country, and
other European authorities deliberately
and maliciouslY ship their criminals at
the public charge to us. All the facts will
be procured by the commission and
they will be ofgreat utility.
The platform which'was adopted by
the Peoples Party bears the marks of
the many strange and conflicting ele-
ments that went to make up the Cincin-
natl convention. It was drawn up by
that master hand at political fanaticism
and foolery, Ignatius Donnelly, and a
perusal of it's principal clauses will
show at once the unreasonableness of
the demands with which the new party
comes before the people. 1t asks for
unlimited coinage of silver; for the loan
ing of money BY the government at the
rate of two per cent; and for other laws
equally devoid ofsound economic prin-
ciples. The parts of the platform which
are good have already found place in the
enunciations of the old parties. Take
from it these, and nothing remains but
the pet hobbies of men like PETER, Simp-
SOB, Weaver and Donnelly, who always
want something for nothing and who
want the government to give it to them
If the platform had set forth demand
for pensions for all such as these, il
would have come still nearer to satisfy.

For q five o'clock tea q reception
dress or dinner gown is the approved
costume for the hostess and ladies re-
ceiving with her, according to Good
Housekeeping, though a simpler after
noon dress, or even an especially
pretty tea gown is often substituted.
The guests, on the other hand, invar-
iably come in street dress, retaining
bonnet and gloves, and if the ooms
are crowded and the call is to be but a
brief one, oftentimes even the cloak is
not laid aside. A dressing room should
always be provided, however. with a
maid at hand to assist the guests with
their wraps; and the oma who has
a care for her health will gladly avail
herself of the opportunity to throw off
her cloak. Many a severe cold has
been contracted by neglecting this
precaution. The American drawing

it stands to reason that a O tenn

Don't Like Feather Rnas.

Every season, says the Chicago
Herald, brings its own fashion fads
just as certainly as day declines to it's
own sunset. Ladies who have been
shocked at the first sight of a new
style have been known to become its
most. ardent followers when told it
was quite the proper thing. Pope's
lines may be easily paraphrased!-
Sly lie is a monster OF so dark a mien
That to be hated needs but to be ssen.
Yet seen too oft. familiar grows her face,
We first endure, then pity. then embrace.
The world never knows what fad
fashion is going to spring next. One
day a lady appears in public wearing
an outlandish something, and we
laugh at her behind her back. The
next day several ladies follow her
style, and we only smile. The third
day nearly everybody does as she
does, and we smile at those who do
not. Street dresses, made en- train,
have been sweeping by; red hats have
made their ~pyrotechnic display; Louis
| XIV. coats have come again; silver
bracelets and bangles have jingled in
our ears like a runaway tin shop.
These and other fads have famed and
hickered, and nov comes tue fea-
Their boa.
This latest freak of fashion will no
doubt become very popular, because
it is neither useful nor ornamental. 1t
must be a success. 1t is about as
cheerful as a ghost story att midnight
and lightens up the faceAit surrounds
with a ghastliness that is suggestive
of a stepmother's smile. When worn
by a fresh young creature it reminds
| one of a blight in a rosebud or a black
frost on the bloom of the clover. 1t is
a splendid substitute for sackcloth
and ashes, and fashion can now do
penance for all the follies it has COM
mitted in the past.
Boas range in prices from So to $500,
those made of ostrich feathers reach
ing the highest figures. The more
expensive boas are no more
unsightly than are the cheaper
varieties, and those made of
ostrich feathers are supposed to
be some protection against cold, hence
their sale will nc doubt be slight.
The fact that none OF them will afford
the wearer any degree of warmth
would seem to indicate that feather
boas will be much worn throughout
the winter, although it is said that
they were designed for autumn year.
But where do the feathers come

woman in Indiana. It is dog flesh as
the chief article of diet. This cur
will probably last until the young
woman dies, and then the left over
baked canine meat may coldly furnish
orth the funeral feast. 1t may run
even with koch's lymph, but is not
likely to break the death record.
Apropos, it may be mentioned that
Colonel Mines, who died from alcohol
ism at Blackwell's Island in the early
hours of Wednesday morning, had but
recently been cured of drunkenness
by DIR. Keely's gold cure" In view
of this evidence of its lack of efficacy
it can hardly be wondered at that the
doctor is determined to keep the for
mula secret. If he were to bury it
deeper than Prospero buried his book,
it might be a benefit to mankind. Of
all %charlatans there are none more
reprehensible than they who lure the
sick with false hopes, only to meet
death just at the moment of alleged
recovery. There should be some law
to suppress these %swindlers just as
there are for three card monte
men. The alleged remedies of
DIR. Koch and DIR. Kelley
are simply schemes to make money.
Both are expensive, both useless.
Men who make great discoveries in
medical science do not usually seek
profit from them. The worlds thanks
and the relief of suffering are their
suf Efficient reward.
Drunkenness can be cured, but t he
cure lies in the will of the victim,
not in medicaments. AS for consump-
ton, there is probably no cure for
that dreaded scourge. 1t is beyond
human art.
