desires to vote in the affirmative he
shall scratch out the word mo-" if he
desires to vote in the negative, he
shall scratch out the word ''yes."
EXPLANATION.
1t will be seen that the manner of
voting upon these two proposed
amendments is entirely different. The
reason for this is that the first amend
ment was proposed under an act of
the legislature passed prior to the
general election law of 1891, and is to
be voted upon subject to the provis-
ions OF the said general election law.
But the second proposed amendment
is submitted under an act of the legis-
lature passed after the general cleo
tion law of 1891, and in terms provides
how it shall be voted upon, and as
above indicated.
The object of the first proposed
amendment is to restrict special legis-
lation.
The object of the second proposed
amendment is to regulate the tax
alton of railroads, sleeping, drawing
room and parlor car companies, tele-
graph and telephone companies, eX-
press and ms urance companies, by
taxing the gross earnings or by a
licensed fee; and authorizing a specific
tax on mining property. 17t3w.

THE RACING MATINEE.

The racing matinee Friday after
noon was very successful and afforded
as much sport as any other races.
About 400 people were present, and as
the horses were nearly all local
trotters, the interest was greater on
that account. There was no gate
money, entrance fees or purses, and
the owners generally drove their own
nags. Some first-class horsefiesh was
exhibited and some fairly good time
recorded. The air was little chilly
for spectators but fine for racing.
2. FL. Carney, N. p. Lee and DR..
Webster acted as judges, Dan Stacy,
of Albert Lea, as starter, and Thos.
Rooney and Mr.. Stacy as timers.
The first race was free for all trot
and had four entries: Dawson, own
ed by John Mccarthy, of Good Thun-
der; Taylor, owned by Tenny &
Brooks, of Mapleton; Idle Girl, own
ed by Henry Zimmerman, and Grover,
owned by L. Patterson. Idle Girl
won two straight heats time SOL and
2:40, Grover second and Dawson third.
The race for three minute horses
was contested by w. H. Pfeffer's
Prince, f. e. Bronson's Francis, and
Capt. B., owned by Carlos Boynton, of
Madelia. Francis won both heats,
Capt. B. second-time 3:O8 and 2:584.
An exciting race between Alba G.
Lewis on bicycle and Gypsy with
a pony named Red Wing, next took
place. Mr.. Lewis won both heats,
which were half mile each-time
1:25. The first heat was closely con
tested, but the second was walk
away for the bicyclist, as the pony
broke badly.
A free for all pacing race had the
following entries: Bashaw Chief. by
E. Moses, Archie, by Fred Force, Bill
ly Bourbon, by Phil Lamm, and Feet,
by Ed Weaver. Through a misunder-
standing as to the length of the heats
the first heat was declared off. The
race was then run in a single mile
heat and Feet won-time 2:543, Billy
Bourbon second, Bashaw Chief third.
A colt race of one heat of half a
mile was trotted by Senator Wilkin-
son, owned by Henry Himmel-
man; Jumbo, owned by Hen
ry Heinzman; and Under Wilkes,
owned by E. P. Rutan. The first and
third horses named were a tie at 1:344,
Jumbo third.
An interesting running race took
place between Little Joe and Gyp-
sy horse. The distance was one

Soap

Whoever wants soft
hands, smooth hands, white
hands, or a clear complex
ion, he and she can have
both; that is, if the skin is
naturally transparent; un-
less occupation prevents.
The color you want to
avoid comes probably nei~
Their of nature or work, but
Of habit.
Either you do not wash
efectually, or you wash too
ehectually; you do not get
the skin open and clean, or
you hurt it.
Remedy.-Use Pears
Soap, no matter how much;
out a little is enough if you
use it often.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially
druggists; all sorts of people use it.

time 274 and 26a.
Another colt race was trotted by
Belle Gaines, owned by e. P. Rutan,
and Senator Wilkinson, owned by Fl.
Zimmerman. One heat of mile was
trctted and was won by Senator Will
kinson-time. 3:063. After the others
started Geo. Barnard drove his colt
Black Wing around the mile and pass
ed the others. Another horse came
on the track, so that the race which
started between two horses was holly
contested at the close by four. Black
Wing made a quarter in 454.

You'd laugh in your wicked old sleeve,
When you felt there the tremulous pressure

That her trust is as deep as her love.

A Cool Head.

Hafper's Bazaar says there is nothing
that conduces to successful meeting
of emergencies better than cool head,
with feeling Of perfect confidence
that everything is going to come out
all right. Whether things are "com-
ing out all right" or not. at least the
feeling of quiet selfcontrol makes one
better able to work toward the good
result. To mother this self possess
ion is invaluable. In large family
small events calculated to upset the
domestic machinery are constantly
occurring. 1t seems to be law of
nature that children should continue
ally have their hair-breadth escapes,
and come within an inch of losing
their lives. But it is equally law Of
nature that they should escape. Ands
whenever the critical moment arrives
in her own life or IN the life OF another,
it is important for woman to remem-
ber that the very worst thing that she
can do at that moment is TO lose her
head. To do that means to be help.
less instead of helpful, to be a drag
! instead of an assistant. In an emer-
gency one should rather seem heart-
less than inefficient. There are always
ten people ready to cry or ryfaint OF
shed tears over the sufferer where there
is one who stands coolly by and sees
the way to help him. Affection and
sympathy are often best proved By
ignoring them, particularly when the
moment arrives thstcalls for action

wINTER MILLINERY.


The fashion in hats is set on the
day Of the Grand Prix. What is seen
at the races on that day gives sufic-
lent hints to milliners to last them for
more than one season. The coming
winter fashion, from these indications,
will break all connection with the
small round hats. The forms that
promise to be favorites next winter
are the following:
A probable favorite is likely to be
the large sailor hat, raised at the back.
with steep, fat-sided crown. The soft
brim is Of the same width all round.
This is worn either in what the New
York auctioneers would catalogue 'as
are" or is, highly raised at the back
or bent down into I" Pamela /" ar
rangement. with three or four bends.
This form Of hat was seen in straw of
all kinds, in open.work braid and crepe,
chiffon, tnlle or gauze. Another form
has fairly high comic top with hand
wide brim, slightly rolled up at the
border and raised to a high pointed
bow at the back. This style was well
represented, especially for yonng
ladies. 1t is so far original that, in
contrast with the other forms which
carry the trimming in front or at the
side, ii has all its trimming concen-
trated oD the raised back Of the brim.
The "Jardiniere" hat has the same
chances of success. This is a broad
brimmed shepherds hat, the brim Of
which. like a fair-sized shovel, rises
on both sides in form of an arch, and
runs down in the back into two deep
cracks, to which is attached a
"Pamela" arrangement
For those ladies on whom the large
hat does not look we'll, there are many
toque-like hats. Among these are
two which are likely to have great
success. One has fairly high conf
cal crown with stiff one.inch wide
brim, raised at the sides. The other
| is "barette" with two-inch brim.
Large round hats, the crowns Of
which looked like small flower baskets,
we're not scarce. It is expected that
flowers will be retained rs trimming
next year. although, of course, they
will not be used as much as in the
warmer season.-Dry Goods Econ

"It's My Way"

Many years ago, Edwin Forrest,
the celebrated actor, was in the habit
Of dining at Windust's, noted rest
aurant on Park Row, that was favor
ite resort of actors and literary men.
It usually happened that Forrest
would be joined by friends, and that
the little group would sit together at
one table. On one occasion it chanced
that an Englishman with reputation
for conceit and impertinence, who
had scraped acquaintance with the
tragedian, was one of the group.
Early in the course of the dinner
the Euglishman began to make criti-
cisms, which he considered pleasant
ries, about Forrest's conception Of
certain drsmatic roles. Encouraged
by his own appreciation, he gave full
play to his humor, and concluded
each of his impertinences with, "Par-
don my freedom, sir; it's nay way"
To the astonishment of all who
knew Forests irascible disposition
he bore the Briton's offensive remark;
patiently, and seemingly ignored them
rs far as possible. When. how
ever, the nuts were brought in by the
waiter, he took several cracked wal
nuts in his hand, and, walking ove1
to the Briton's place, jocularly snap
ped them successively in the face o
that individual, lightly saying afteI
each shot, pardon my freedom, sir
it's my way" and snapped him out o
the restaurant. 1t cannot be quest
ioned that the lesson which Forres
taught the impudent Englishman wa
throughly deserved. 1t should b
digested by those who, having inordi
nate conceit and considerable facility
of speech, imagine themselves privi
legged to vent their impertinence upol
their associates by simply claimin
that it is their way"

to support that policy OF government
which takes from them 80 to 80 per
cent. for such of those wares which
they are compelled to buy. And is
it to benefit such men that even SO
honest and economical and earnest
patriot as Gov. Mckinley, seems to
be willing to pervsrt facts and mis-
apply figures?
will PROFOUND one more question
to my protectionist friend, who gives
the protection legislation of the Re-
publican party during the past thirty
wears all the credit for the higher
wages paid in America, than is paid
for like work abroad. And permit
me right here to say that Sir Thomas
Brassey who perhaps was the greatest
railroad engineer that the world ever
knew and who built railroad systems
on every continent and in every
quarter of the globe. that he believed
it to be a fact that the productive
power Of energy In wages was equal
the world over. And the cost Of
building railroads in India where
native labor at eight cents per day
was employed, and where European
labor brought out there for the same
purpose was paid $3.50 per day, was
exactly the same per mile of like
work. He had also experience In the
building of railroads in France, where
to the Englishman he paid one hun
cents, to the Irishman he paid eighty
cents, and TO the Frenchman he paid
sixty cents, the cost Of their produce
tion to him was exactly the same.
Now for the question. Why if the
tariff has been the cause Of high wages
in America, is it that the ordinary
laborer received under its influence in
New England about $26 per month !;
in New York about $23; in Delaware
about $1S; in the Carolinas and most
Of the South about $12; in Louisiana
about $16; in Texas $40; in Ohio
S24: in California $37; in Oregon
$33.; in Colorado about $50; and in
Iowa, State of about the same age as
California only about $26? and where
workmen are boarded by their en-
ployers the price paid them notwith-
standing the varied figures given, is
about / less. How can our protec-
zionist friends explain these figures?
Since writing the above, have as
certained that Mr.. Burgess the United
States Consul at Tunstall, who Jug
gled so ridiculously with figures is the
principal in one of the large potteries
Of Trenton, N. j., The Information
al Pottery Company" And this ex-
plains why he should place the cost of
Jersey sand at about $50 per cent.
higher than the value of English sand.
1t enables him to make out an excell-
ent case in supper. of his theory that
the American people should be made
to pay high prices for his pottery pro-
ducts.
