test again with his namesake for con-
gressional honors. He will undoubtedly

At the Missouri Republican State con-
vention, held Thursday, it was flashed
over the wires that Major VIM. Warner
was nominated amidst great applause.
We are willing to acknowledge that there
is some vitality left in the Republican
party yet when they are able to applaud
in Missouri at any stage of the game.

SCULPTURE proof since November 30, 1889
has been finally disposed of to Mas
sachusetts capitalist for $4,000 and

Jacob A. Kills, in his article on sThe
Poor Children of New York." in the May
Scribner's, says that drunkenness is the
vice that wrecks about half the homes OF
the poor which do not cause it. It Is that
which IN nine cases out of ten, drives the
boy to the street and the girl to life OF
shame" He says, that, without doubt,
the longest step that has yet been taken
in the race with poverty la New York
City, is the establishing of many kinder
gartens for the poor children, to which
access is made easier every day. There
they get the earliest notion of order and
harmless play.

County Treasurer FL. o. Peterson,
Thursday, FLED demurrer against the
charges in the quo warranto proceedings
against himself. Demurrer contends that
chapter $50 of the laws of 1895, under
which the quo warranto was issued is in
violation of the constitution of this state,
that the Governor was outside the state
when he signed the order for the pro-
ceedings and that the charge is insuffci-
emit and does not show malfeasance in
Office. Arguments in the case will take
place at St. Paul, May 81, when THE
somewhat complicated matter will be-
brought more squarely before the light.

Tommy O'Rourke, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. O'Rourke, of Glendive, Mont, died al
the family home in that city last week at
the age of seven years. He was bright
little lad. Something over a year ago.
while visiting near St. Cloud, this state,
in company with his parents, he wan.
dered away and was lost in the woods for
eight days near Foley Station, during
which time he subsisted on acorns and
misunderstanding manfully up to
the time of his discovery to preserve life.
However, eight long days of exposure,
night and day, had it's effect upon him
and undoubtedly had much to do in
fastening the brave little fellows death.

The newest of the many substitutes
for glass which are constantly appearing
is the invention of Viennese glass man
ufacturer, and seems likely to be useful
for Photographic purposes. This pro-
duct is said to have Substantially the
same properties as glass, resisting the &C.
ton of salts and alkalies and Of dilute
acids, besides being inodorous and trans
parent. It has, however, the advantage
of being flexible and Intangible to g
