Signs of the Times.

1t is always well to watch the signs
Of the times, and especially at present,
for there are signs without number
and they all tell of good times. There
are bright and encouraging signs ev-
erywhere of reaction from the de-
preston of a few months since, but
no sign is needed to impress the trav-
eler with the fact that the Duluth
Short Line is the peoples popular
route with those who like the latest
equipment, fast and convenient trains,
smooth travelling, and super-excellent
service. The Duluth Short Line, as
the st, Paul & Duluth railroad is call
ed, offers all of these, and makes a
speciality of each. Hence the popu-
ldrity of this route, running, as it
does, between St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater,
Taylor's Falls, and other points, and
making close connections with trains
running in all directions. 'Informa-

WE HAVE THE STONE.

The Minneapolis Times of yester-
day says: '"The Mankato men who
were at the Nicollet last evening were
P. FL. Carney and f. Meagher. Mr..
Carney is better known in Minneapo-
lis than many men who have always
lived here. Mr.. Meagher is president
of the Citizens National bank of Man
kato. One of the topics that both
gentlemen were willing to talk about
last night was stone, as they come
from stone section of the state. Mr..
Meagner said that he considered the
action of the regents in going outside
of the state for their stone an outrage,
as they could get as good stone as they
wanted, and the desirable graystone
also, right in Mankato.
at is mistake to say that this
stone is too soft and will not stand
wear," said ne. ut grows harder
with age. Of course the regents had
perfect right to go outside of the
state for their stone if they wanted
to, but they shouldn't cast any reflec-
tions on the the stone at home, as an
apology for so doing" 81 can tell
you where you have got some Manka-
to limestone in this city," said Mr..
Carney, and that is down in the
Great Northern viaduct over the Mis-
sissippi Now,every bit of that stone
came from Mankato and is the same
as we proposed putting into the Uni
versity library building. 1t is good
enough for that bridge, and I guess
that it is good enough for the univer-
sity. The regents made an unpopular
move when they went to Ohio for
their, building material"

ONE OF GEN. BAKERS .EXPER-
FENCES.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Gen. James ii.
Baker, of Mankato, Mimi, registered
at the Grand Pacific. If not the hero
of Judge Tourgee's Fools Errand, F"
Gen. Baker was the western counter.
part or the twin Of the Virginia i'm
migrant who tried to settle down
South in KukIuX times. Gen. Baker
was a prominent citizen of Minneso-
ia when the war broke out, and the
fortune of war cast his lot near the
wind-up in Missouri as provost
marshal of the state. There is no
finer country spread out on the face
of the earth than this fashioned into
metal-bearing and forest-coyered
hills, fertile valleys and grass-covered
prairies in "poor :old Missouri" AT
the close of the war zen. Baker took
up one of the best farms in Central
Missouri, bought and reclaimed it
from the decay into which slave labor
had permitted it to fall.
1t was at time when the cOnfeder-
ates were coming home, tired of the
war, whipped, ragged and hungry.
Gen. Bakers coming was welcomed
throughout Cooper county and all
Central Missouri. He was fiattered
and cajoled by the stay-at-home
Southern sympathizers, and the re-
turning Confederates besought his
favor. For time there wasn't a
more popular man in the river coun-
ties of Missouri than JamesIH. Baker.
But the season of his popularity was
short-lived.
With the stains of march and battle
still upon his butternut jeans, the
Confederates sought to be taken into
full fellowship as citizens, just as
worthy and potent as 1.-THE -
Dutch" and other Unionists who had
kept the state in the Union. Gen.
Baker kept quiet, remained at home,
attended to his farm, planted, seeded
and harvested. But the eX-Confed-
crates were not content with MS
course. They cajoled and persuaded
him to become as liberal as Carl
Schurz. B. Gratz Brown and others
had been seduced. Gen. Baker came
out radically in favor Of a probation
period for all the treason attained
vote claimants of Missouri. And then
Gen. Baker and his family were sub
jected to species of persecution and
intolerance that made the gallant
soldier, who had never turned his
back on the armed enemies, flee from a
social ostracism less bearable than
Kuklux violence, though even the
latter was threatened. The General
returned to Minnesota wiser man,
and to repent of his fools errand,"
among people who, since he has came
back, have honored him time and
again with puDllc ONCE nigh up
among the foremost men of the state.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The Board of Trade met Tuesday.
A communication was received from
San Francisco, asking the board tC

sippi congress to be held in that city

over to see whether any of the board
would be going west about that Time
A letter was received from DR.. VIM.
f. Lewis, a former president of the
board, Offering to donate his portrait
to the board, as requested.
M. G.. Willard made some remarks
upon the Wilson bill. He said that
under it's provisions working man
could buy suit of clothes that would
last him year ST cheaper than now
and business man perhaps 81 or S.
cheaper. But what was this saving
compared with the loss to the labor,
ing man of SIS, $40 or $3.50 year in
wages through the necessary reduc'
tions. The Dry Goods Reporter has
heretofore advocated tariff reductions
from the stand point Of the impo1 tiers
but now comes out with two pages OF
letters showing how manufacturers
would be hurt by the proposed VIII
son bill. Mr.. Willard urged the mem
Ders to look the matter up, as he had
done. Under a protective tariff the
Mankato Knitting Mills would EN-
ploy more hands than any other fac
tory IN the city. Under the Wilson
bill it can keep in operation if any
knitting mill can, but it would have
to feel it's way along. Prices are
gradually reduced by competition un-
der a protective tariff. Fibreware
pals have been selling at 81 dozen,
but the price will be reduced jan
uary 1st to $3.50 Mr.. Willard firmly
believed that the board should take a
firm stand against the passage OF the
Wilson bill, as being matter of ma
tional importance, such as the silver
question and freight rates, and ought
not to be considered on partisan lines
The cotton schedule would do more
injury than the wooden, and the man
ufacture of the finer grades would be
more seriously crippled than the
courser. Any country that is purely
agricultural must go down. The only
such country in Europe is Poland.
g. A. Chapman, James Shoemaker
and John Klein were appointed In
spectors of election for the annual
meeting of the board, which occurs in
Secretary Chapman's office the first
Thursday in January, from 300 to

A TEST CASE.

The machine agents have always
been more or less troubled as to how
to treat persons who order machines
and do not take them, possibly pur.
chasing of another agent after giving
one his order. The Osborn Harvester
Co. has decided to make test case in
the courts, claiming to have such a
case on it's hands. 1t has brought
suit in the municipal court against
AID. and Mary Oehler, of Eagle Lake,
for S125, the price of a machine which
the company claims the defendants
left written order for. The COM
pany claims that the machine was to
be ready on given day, and that
Oeh;er was to call for it; that the
company carried out it's part of the
agreement; that Oehler did not come
for his machine, but purchased one of
another agent. w. r. Geddes is at
torney for the company.
