DR.. w. D. Finn was born in Wis
consin 50 years ago, and spent the
early portion of his life securing such
school education as could be secured
at that time. On Aug. Il, 1862, he en-
listed in the army and was made Sly
geant- Major of the 23d Regiment
Wisconsin Volunteers, a regiment that
made itself famous for its many bat
ties during the war, particularly win
ming glory and renown at the Siege Of
Vicksburg. Mr.. Finn was mustered
out of service July /, 1865, and short
~ after entered Rush Medical college
from which he graduated in 1865, com
ing to Minnesota the same year, and
practicing medicine at Blooming
Prairie for two years, leaving that
place and coming to Redwood Falls
in 1870, and has lived here ever since.
In 1887 DR.. Finn was appointed a
member of the State Medical board,
shortly after the Board was organized,
and was reappointed for second term
in 1889. The lazy provides that no
member shall hold more than two
terms,and DR.. Finn naturally dropped
out at the expiration Of his second
term, retiring when he was President
OF the Board. He has been member
of the =. S. pension board for num-
Der Of years, and was only recently
dropped to make room for a Demo-
crat.
In 1870, the same year that he came
to Redwood Falls, he was married to
Miss Mary Brainerd, of Wisconsin,
his present wife.

Loving Spirit In a Canary Bird.

A Philadelphia gentleman hasa canary
that he calls Noah. He allows Noah an
occasional free fight in the garden. One
day when time was up the bird declined
to come into the house or be taken, but
when approached few off space. He
would then fly back, still declining to be
taken in. At last his performance in

At once he burst into a joyful song and

looking back coaxingly.

with series of loud staccato notes, he

Then / saw laying there what l took to

was nearly frozen. Noah was delighted
and would fly from me back to the in

1owa,s wonderful Ice Cave.

One of the greatest curiosities in the
Mississippi valley is natural ice cave
which Is located in the bluffs Of the
Iowa river within less than mile Of De-
corah, the county seat of Winnesheik
county. This unique curiosity is indeed
a natural icehotse--a cavern In which
great icicles may be found at any season
Of the year, being especially fine in sum-
mer, when the weather Ia hot and dry
outside. The bluff In which the cave is
located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, 1t being necessary to climb about
rs feet up the side Of the bluff to reach
the mouth Of the cave. The entrance Is
a assure about 10 feet in width and be.
tween Is and 20 feet In height, from
which constant current Of cold air
issues
Thirty feet from the mouth Of the
cave the passage turns toward the left
and downward, toward the river bed.
The slope Is very gradual, however, and
the walls and the roof are within easy
reach all the while. After you have
reached spot 100 feet from the opening
you entered, 1t Is noticed that the walls
and roof are covered with frost. Twenty
feet farther thin coating Of ice is mo-
ticed, which increases in thickness as you
go into the bluff. st. Louis Republic.

what Manure poes For Her Tress,

The wild forest trees bear a great
abundance of foliage, and this shows
that nature provides for her own in q
most bountiful manner. The inferiority
of the foliage of the mountain trees and
those growing near lakes and rivers is
due to the rich substances contained in
decayed leaves and water forming a
chemical action with the solar rays.
Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbonic
acid and the gaseous substances in ma
ture are sufficient to complete the annual
growth of forest trees Of all classes.
Along the broad reaches Of the north
ern and southern rivers this fact is clear
" seen and well defined. The rich nav
igable lowland rivers, such as the Thames
In England and the Loire in France, dis
play the richest and most luxuriant
trees. Boston Transcript.

resulted in a small riot. He always at

"Well, DR.. Brooks was surrounded by

time that the exercises were about half
over these little ones began to clamor for
candy, and the doctor couldn't stand
their pleadings. He simply got up and
commenced to unload the tree of its
sweets, tossing the bags of candy to the
little ones. No sooner had he begun to
do this than the older children, perhaps
grade higher, raised great rumpus,
and there was nothing for us to do but
to shut Dr.. Brooks of, call halt and
restore order. Boston Globe.

An Earnest Democratic warning.

Jersey CITY Nssos (Dsm.)
Reflect gentlemen Of the Senate and As
scmbly OF the Democratic faith, that you
have identified the Democratic party be-
you'd the possibility OF escape with the
passage OF these racc-track laws so much
condemned. The two or three Republican
votes, which, for special reasons were cast
along with yours will not 10 any degree
remove the odium from your shoulders.
Reflect, that 1t is not sufficient to dismiss
those bitter and scathing criticisms Of
your course, as the mere ebullilions Of
fanaticism or the frothing OF partisan OPP
position. They are not SO. They repre-
sent deep-seated and earnest disgust and
dissatisfaction, In which an enormous
proportion Of our people share, and that
portion Is the best, the most thoughtful
and the most aggressive 10 the State.
Reflect also that this disgust aud dlssatis-
faction extend to thousands who IRE not
opposed to race-track legislation 10 itself,
but who are shocked and angered at the
methods by which these have been placed
upon the statute books.

A Trenton paper says there was large
delegation of Catholic clergYmen In Tren-
ton on Monday, representing both sides Of
the Catholic school question. II was ex-
pected that the bill giving State aid to the
Catholic schools would be introduced.
The clergymen and the laymsn could not
agree ameng themselves nor could they
find Senator who was willing TO intro
ducs It. Both Bishops Wigger and O'Far-
rell are opposed to the Introduction Of the
measure. Farther Corrigan, OF Hoboken,
was ameng those favorable to the bill.
They tried hard to get Protestant Sena-
tor TO introduce 1t, but the Senators, after
a conference, decided that as the church
was not a unit on the measure, they
thought 1t unwise to introduce 1t, because
1t would bring on . church controversy
that would be undesirable during the clos
Ing hours Of the session.
