Editor Stead, the British journalist who
has been in this country and in Canada
proposing to reform everything and to
save everything on original lines, is sue
ceeding very well in what was, and is.
very probably his purpose in view-to
get himself advertised. His proposition
to enlist saloon-keepers in an effort to sup
press the liquor evil, gamblers in an effort
to suppress gambling, dive keepers in an
effort to check vice, and anarchists in an
effort to crush anarchy, has served to at
tract the attention of newspaper writer's,
and now the writers are busiIy engaged in
directing attention to MIR. Stead, who has
something to sell.

Wheel Company, of Chicago, for infringe
mont of patent Ferris, the man who
built the big wheel, admitted in court that
he got his idea from the roundabout"
wheel. The amount Of damages on the
royalty will be fixed by the court. The
great wheel. it seems, was a qualified
success, in so far as erris is concerned
The idea that he cribbed was successfully
worked out, but it cost him a round sum
OF money TO do it. The wheel cost Ferris
and his construction company $780,, 900, but
they got only $500, 900 for it from the
company that operated it at the fair.
The company has grown magnanimous.
however, now that the fair is over, and
have made proposition to Ferris
whereby he may or may not, recoup him
self; the company proposes to turn over to
him its stock at 10 cents on the dollar and
let him manage the future of the wheel as
he may please. The company made
barrels of money from the wheel while
the fair lasted.

the state insurance commission investi-
gated the charges and forced Mr.. Beers
TO resign the suit fell through. Mr.
Beers resigned from the presidency of

ladies double quarter from the Nor

services by reading the I'd Psalm, also
part of the 9Th chapter of Matthew.
The post chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Wax
field, led in prayer. A young
mems double quartet from
the High school rendered "The
Soldiers Farewell" After a collec-
tion was taken Rev. e. M. Rule
opened his address by stat
ing for his text Matthew SO
BLESSED are the peacemakers. He
reviewed the early scenes of the war,
touching upon the causes, and the
two great doctrines of this repub-
lie, union OF states, and federal
union.
When the war begun 1T was the sig
nal for an army of peacemakers, men
who should compel peace. This was
the case, for since the tumult has
subsidized North and South, East and
West cherish the memories of men
who forced such peace as we now
enjoy. Being peacemakers, such great
armies as those of Grant and Sher-
man were able to quietly disband and
again become citizens. There are
over one million of these patriotic
men now leading in all kinds of bust
ness and taking a hearty interestin
the welfare of our nation.
Back of all the strife was the great
moral question of human slavery. So
moral questions are always present to
be solved. They live on and cannot
be put away, though sometimes inter-
rupted or extended by wars and polit-
ical conflicts. We have such ques
tions today which ever come before
the American people for settlement.
All must have been Of divlnely or
igin. for the theories of other
branches fail in some respect. Civili-
zation advances in accordance with
the sermon on the mount. God and
man work together for the advance
ment of the world. Mr.. Rule then
closed with some eloquent remarks on
how we cherish and should cherish
the memories of these men.
The exercises we're completed by
the audience rising and singing

nOunced benediction.

Fowler from the car. He caught at
the brake as he fell but did not get
hold of it, but struck his head upon

due to conclusion of the brain. No
inquest was deemed necessary.
Mr.. Fowler had for the past five

crossing. He was steady, lndustrl-
Gus and frugal young man, twenty-slX
years of age and unmarried. He was

idence of t. G. Mckay, at Bradley's
crossing, where he boarded. The fun
eral took place at KasOta at one
O'Clock Monday, the remains
leaving Mr.. McKay's house at noon.

Just as Good Fish,

"There are just as good fish in the
sea as ever were caught" shifts the
young man after he has had the usual
Sunday night quarrel with his best
girl; but that is wleIe he makes his
mistake. The fish in the sea are all
right in their way, but they are not as
good as those caught in lakes and
streams. Particularly are they not in
it to any extent with the fish to be
caught in the chain of lakes and
streams along the line of the St. Paul
& Duluth Railroad, which traverses
the paradise of anglers. dotted by
White Bear, Chisago, Forest and other
lakes. This road, the Duluth Short
Line is not only the fiSherman'S fav-
orite, but it is also popular with tour
lists who travel between ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth. West Superior,
Saltwater, Taylors Falls and other
points. Always take the Duluth
Short Line. Circulars and informa-
tion cheerfully furnished by ticket
agents or may be had upon application

Agent, or w. A. Russell, Assistant
General Passenger Agent.
