PROTECTION COATS.
They are Made of Old Wooden Rags
Ground I'm.

During the whole period of tariff dis
cussion no point received so much atten-
ton from public speakers and writer's
and aroused so much interest among the
people as the effect which our outrageous
duties upon raw wool and manufactured
woolens has upon the wool raising in
dustry Of the country on the one hand
and the quality of the clothing worn by
the masses on the other.
The sheepless shepherds who defended
protection declared that the duty upon
raw wool alone stood between the wool
growers and destruction, and that the
duties upon manufactured woolens
served to stiffen competition among our
manufacturers and thus give the people
cheaper and better clothing than they
could possibly get in any other way.
The friends of tariff reform demonstrated
time and again that the result of these
duties was most grievous; that they de-
stroyed the demand for domestic wool,
which would otherwise be used in large
quantities in admixtures with foreign
woods, and at the same time encouraged
the MANUFACTURE O1 SQOuON.
One of the most interesting contribu-
tons made in support Of the claim that
shoddy has taken the place of our do
nestle grown wool in the manufacture
cloth, carpets, ETC., is an article written
by Mr.. W. B. Estell and printed in the
November supplement of the New York
World. Mr.. Estell is an agent of the
New York Reform club and under its
direction made an exhaustive e1amina=
ton Of the shoddy business, He visited
several states aud some Of the largest
manufacturing establishments in the
country, if not in the world, principle
among these being the great shoddy
manufacturing establishment of Null
hausser & Sons, located at Cleveland.
Mr.. Estell goes into the question thor
oughly, beginning with the gathering of
every description of rags, from the new
tailor clippings to the filthy remnants of
old clothing gathered from every con-
ceivable source; tells how they are sorted
according to quality and color. packed in

Business is slow these days-as, we
presume all are engaged in tillage
affairs.
G. I. Corey, our estimable merchant,
has lots of business on hand just now.
He is going to be proprietor of the
Hollandale House. His highest en-
deavor will be to please the public,
whose trade he kindly solicits.
J. A. Corey is visiting friends at
Calamine.
Miss Jennie Noble has resumed her
duties as teacher in the Gribble school.
Miss Maggie McIlhon has also re-
sumed her duties as teacher in Hol-
landale for the spring term.
Our creamery started to run Mon
day. We expect Hollandale to be
supplied with surplus of excellent
butter for the summer.
Miss Emma Knudson, daughter of
81. Knudson, our competent shoe
maker, died on Wednesday, April 5.
The bereaved family have the sympa-
thy of the entire community.
MessrS. Herman Knudson and Syver
Halferdahl went to Chicago on Wed
nesday, to attend the funeral of Miss
Emma Knudson, who died on Wed
day, Apil 5.
w. A. Skinner sent his lannon's trot-
ter to Dodgeyille for training. Look

Dr. Mcdonald has little time to
rest-he is kept on the road most of
the time.
The new butcher shop was opened
last Monday. Good meat always on
hand.
"SiX days shalt thou labor" says
the great lawgiver. To do good work,
man must be at his best. This condi-
ton is attained by the use of Ayers
Sarsaparilla. 1t overcomes that tired
feeling, quickens the appetite, i'm
proves digestion, and makes the weak

It Is an extraordinary fact that the twelfth
edition OF Men OF the Time" finds no room
among its multtudinous biographical notices
for an outline Of the life OF the most distin-
Guished OF German electricians. Luckily. this
sho-tcomlng is made good for English and
American readers by n translation OF the Per-
sonol RecoRections of Werner ron Sirmtns
tAppletonl. The objection to this book. and
it ia one that might have been removed by the
publisher. is that 1t is destitute not only OF an
index. but OF a table OF contents Such as it
Ia. however. We welcome It as the only means
accessible In English OF obtaining adequate
Information with regard TO one OF the m ost
remarkable and most useful men of the age.

Although Siemens does not tell US at the
outset Of his narrative whers he was born we
learn atterward that 1916 was the year Of his
birth. Up to his eighth year his parents lived in
Lenthe. near Hanover. where his father farmed
the estate OF a Herr Won Lenthe. His father
came OF family settled since the Thirty
Years War on the northern declyity OF the
Hartz Mountains. and engaged. for the most
pnrt. in agriculture and forestry. The politi-
cal condition OF Hanover while under English
rule was very depressing to the elder Siemens.
and accordingly. whom tho boy Werner was 8
years old. he sought and found freer sur
roundinGs In the principally OF Ratze-
burg. appertaining to MecklenburG- Sire
litz. where he obtained a lease OF
tho grand ducal domain OF Menzendorf
for long term of years. Here. at the age OF
II. Werner was sent to the grammar school OF
the neiChboring market town OF Schonherg.
and three years a'terward was placed under n
private tutor, whose teaching proved In high
degree stimulating and encouraging. At a
somewi ut later period he was sent to the Luz
beck Grammar School. which. at the zee OF II.
he left to apply for admission to the artillery
corps OF the Prussian army. He passed sue
cessfully the preliminary examination. but it
was not till the autumn OF 1885 that he eceived
tho order to attend tho school OF tho United
Artillery and Engineers In Berlin. The three
years which he spent ut this school he reck-
ons the happest and most fruitful of his
life for here he fell under the guidance OF such
teachers as the mathematician Ohm. the ply
sicist Magnus and tho chemist Erdmann After
leaving tho military school. Siemens passed
the three ensuing examinations for ensign.
for army officer. and finally for artillery officer.

farmer. who had In his hands the remnants OF
