How to Make Your Hands White.

Nowadays the ladies are giving
considerable attention to their COM
plexions, and how to beautify them,
and now comes the latest fad Of
bleaching the hands. The n1odus
operandi is, that just before retiring
wash the hands, and after drying them
thoroughly rub them with almond
cream, then hold them over steam
ing tea-kittle until the hands are
dripping with moisture, then dry
them with soft towel, and after
applying the almond cream put on
pair of kid gloves and jump into bed.
Continue this for three or four nights
and you will be both astonished and
pleased at the marble whiteness of
the dainty hands. Then ask your
mother, if she loves you, to always
use Horsford's Baking Powder, which
in itself is an emblem Of purity.

HAPPIEST RESULTS.

1t is fact confirmed by the most
ample experience that those who hab-
itually resort to Humphreys Specifics
for aid and cure in their illness, have
less sickness, better health, better
growth, longer and more vigorous
lives, than those treated by other
methods. The fact is explained in
the circumstances that these Specifics.
because of the method of their compo-
sition, have deeper and wider range
of action than other medicines, and
thus constantly tend to eradicate con-
stitutional weakness and disease. The
list of Humphreys Specifics contains
preventatives and cures for every form
of acute illness and disease which it
is safe or wise for the professional
to treat, and with each Specific such
counsel and directions as will lead to
the safest and happiest results. Acute
diseases may come at any time from
exposure and each has its Specific,
whose timely use is invaluable-not
only saving sickness. but often life
itself.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
NUKE IMPROVENEN
The MankatO Knitting Co. to put up q
Large Three-stOry Factory.
1t Will Be Capable Of Giving Employ
ment to from 100 to 300 Hands
The Latest Machinery to
Be Used.
Work to Be Commenced at Once,

VI. G.. Willard has returned from
his trip to the east, and visited while
absent Chicago, Boston, and manu-
featuring points in New Hampshire.
He visited a number of large knitting
factories for the purpose Of familiar
izing himself with the mode of con-
struction of the buildings, the ma
chinery, work, etc. He gained many
valuable ideas which will be put to
practical use.
The Mankato Knitting Co.will erect
a large three story factory in the
space between the old novelty works
and the painting department of the
Fibreware Co. The building will be
16Ox55 feet, and will have a capacity
for the employment of from 100 to 300
hands. 1t will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 The latest machinery for the
manufacture of yarn and knitted
goods will be put in. 1t is the inten-
tion to begin moderately and increase
the number of hands as the
business increases. The building will
be begun this fall and enclosed before
cold weather, if possible. The nov
city building will then be given up.
The power for the new factory will
come from the engine of the Fibre
ware Works, which is now being great
ly enlarged. The new engine house
will be 73X50 feet. and larger engines
and boilers will be put in. To light
both buildings with electricity the
dynamo must make way to still
larger one.
1t is the intention to devote the
entire capital of the company, $780,
600, to the business. Both cotton and
WOODEN yarn will be manufactured
and knit mittens and socks. The
field to be covered by the company
will not be limited to the Northwest.
The gentlemen who compose the
Knitting Company have made success
of every manufacturing enterprise in
which they have engaged in this city,
and this is sufficient guarantee that
the Dew knitting factory will be all
and smore than is expected of 1T.
When in full operation it will give
employment to more people than any
one factory in the city. The money
spent in raw material and wages will
circulate among our business men
and the shipping business will in.
crease the work of the railroads. The
fact that the company has faith to
put such large sum into the bust.
ness shows that they consider Manka'
to good point for factories, and this
should be noted by those intending to
locate or start new factories in the
Northwest.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY.

Sunday was the twenty-ffth an
niversary of the entry of Rev. Father
Sutor, the Father Superior at ST..
Peter and St. Johns Catholic church
and College, into the Jesuit order.
The entire congregation observed it
by going to the school hall at $3.50
O'Clock. A large number of fine pre-
sents were given to Father Sutor,
their aggregate value being not less
than $500. The affair was very pleas
ant one and was highly enjoyable to
all, and to none moreiso than to the
good Father. The latter was in the
city some years ago, but returned last
spring to assume his present position
of honor and responsibility. The sue
cess and popularity which he has at
tanned is shown by yesterday after
Moons event.

MARRIED.

Miss Alice Andrews, sister of DR.
Andrews, and Mr.. c. Parker, of Pitts
burg, Pa, were quietly married at
Madelia. Tuesday. They went to In.
dependence, Iowa, where they will
visit for a short time. Mr.. Parker
will then go on to Pittsburg, and his
wife will return to this city to remain
for two or three weeks, when she will
go to Pittsburg and join her husband.
The wedding was not to have oc.
CURED for several weeks, but Mr..
Parker was notified that his father
had received stroke of paralysis and
urging him to return to look after
the business interests. 1t was then
decided that the wedding should take
place Immediately, and that their
later movements should be as stated.
The bride is too well and favorably
known in Mankato to require from US
any words in her praise. She is a
highly accomplished and cultivated
young lady and possesses those attrac-
tions and graces which will render
her favorite in social circles in her
new home, as she has been here. Mr..
Parker is highly spoken Of. He is en-
gagged in the oil business and has ex-
cellent business qualifications. The
best wishes of Mankato friends will
accompany them through life.

A NEW LIFE co.
Something Minnesota Should Have
Had Before.

For many years the people of this
state, have felt the importance re-
liable Life Insurance Company would
be to Minnesota, and although there
have been assessment associations
started in different towns and cities
throughout the state, in which many
OF our people have taken out certif1-
Gates and which have proved to be
unreliable and not worthy Of the sup
port and endorsement which they re-
ceived; there has not been regular
life insurance company, giving a
contract, stating definitely Just
what amount should be paid, when
the policy would become paid up and
also giving the insured the privilege
of making his payments in ten, fifteen
or twenty years. Such company has
recently been organized in Minneapo-
lis, which has in its board of directors
some Of the best known and most sue
cessful business men of that city, men
who appreciate the value such an in
stitution will be to Minnesota, and
are determined to make it one of the
great institutions OF the country.
A large amount of money is sent
east each year for life insurance which
might be kept at home. Last year
there was sent out of Minnesota more
than two and one-half millions. Very
little Of this money ever returns for
investment. The income last year of
three New York companies was more
than one hundred and eight millions.
Is it to be wondered at that money
can be borrowed in New York at
lower rate Of interest than here.
The new company commenced bust
ness Aug. 18th, and has already over
S400, 900 of business. We wish it sue
cess. which is really assured already

WHAT GOOD ROADS WOULD MEAN.
American Farm and News.

American Farm and News.
What would good stone roads all
the year round mean to the American
farmer? The answer to this question
is not necessarilya speculative one.
Good roads are to be found in Europe,
and in certain localities in this coun-
try and Canada. 1t is not to be ques-
toned that the effect upon the Ameri
can farmer as rule would be about the
same as it has been favored localities.
and judging from the experience of
those communities which have been
blessed by good public highways we
may mention the following as some of
the desirable results which would
follow their general adoption.
They would make it possible for the
farmer to take advantage promptly of
the highest market, no matter at
what season of the year.
They would save him days and
weeks Of time which he wastes every
year wallowtng through the disgust
ing WllO VI ulIG lOduS-
They would reduce to a minimum
the wear and tear on wagons and car
riages.
They would lessen the expense in
keeping horses in working order, and
vastly less horses would be required in
a county to perform the farmers work.
They would require less expense to
keep them in repair than do the dirt
roads.
They would make it easier for a
team to pull several tons over their
smooth surface than to drag a wagon
through the mud.
They would afford ready communi-
cation with the outside world at all
times of the year.
They would spare the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand
for country and suburban property.
They would be free from dirt in
summer and mud and ruts in fall,
winter and spring.
They would bring every farming
community into closer social relations.
They would make an evenings
drive pleasure instead of a vexa-
ton, as it is now.
They would do away with the abb
surd poll-tax and supervisor system in
places where it is still in use.
They would be, in short, the best
possible investment to the taxpayer
if built and cared for by the national
Government and paid for by nation
al tax.
All these they would do unless ex-
perience goes for naught.

THE FINAL REST.

The funeral services over the remains
Of the late Capt. James Cannon, which
occurred at one o'clock Saturday
were largely attended. The Presby.
terrain choir, assisted by Glenn Schre-
der. furnished music, and Rev. John
Barbour preached an excellent sermon,
taking for his text, SIT is better to &c
to a house of mourning" than
to a house Of feasting. He
drew several important lessons,
and referred to the life Of the
deceased, tenderly referring to his
many good qualities which deserve
emulation. His record as a soldier
and public life were eulogized.
The pail bearers were He. Whitney,
of Minneapolis, Matt Marvin, of Vino
ma, S. w. Burgess, NJ. MacIntyre,
Judge Severance and Robert Roberts,
the first four being comrades in the
old First Minnesota. Wilkin Post
acted as an escort, and the brief
ritual service at the grave was re-
peated. A large number joined the
procession to the cemetery.
The floral gifts were very beautiful
and testified the high esteem in which
the deceased was held by his friends.
The members of the First Minnesota
presented an elegant, large emblem,
in white flowers, representing the
corps badge. This was brought from
WinOna by Mr.. Marvin.
