FLOUR AT THE FAIR.
MINNESOTA THE ONLY STATE no
GIVE III Due PROMINENCE.
Flour, the Most Important Product
shipped Abroad From the United
States, Has Deen sIIghted at the
Exhibition.


Jackson Park. Special Correspond
ence.-One of the exhibits of North
western states which has not been
given due prominence in the agriculture
al building Is that of flour. This Is
probably due to the fact that Minnesota
Is the only state which seems to have
been properly alive TO the Importance
OF this display. The exhibit is con-
fined to the upper gallery Of the ag-
ricultural building, although American
flour Is probably the most important
manufactured product sent abroad from
the United States 1t certainly, in
connection with our great export of
wheat, furnishes the best advertise
ment of the greatness of America Of
any branch of our foreign commerce.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, New York and Missouri manu-
factures the major portion of all -four
exported. OF course Minnesota must
be considered the banner flour produc-
ing state as well as the banner wheat
state, mainly ON account of her great
supply of No. hard wheat from North
Dakota and the Red river valley, which
is required as a mixer to manufacture
the best flour the world over. Mime
apolis, Duluth and Superior must be
regarded as the great -four centers and
primary wheat markets of the world.
There is certainly no branch of manu-
factures in which the Northwestern
states attain such clearly defined pre-
eminence over all competitors. The
displays of -four and feed products at
the Columbian exposition clearly indi-
cate this pre-eminence to the visitor
who may not know these facts from
the actual experience gained in the
commercial and manufacturing world.
Minnesota naturally outranks all COM
petitors. The Washburn- Crosby mills
of Minneapolis and the Duluth Irnper-
ial mill have the most characteristic
and meritorious displays. The great
Pillsbury system Of mills of Minneapo-
lis does not make q separate exhibit
in the -four milling department, al
though all grades of their flour are
upon eNInDlIlOn Ill Ile SIdte HOUR DOOIn
and in the Northern Pacific observation
train in the transportation building.
The Crosby exhibit embraces
models of their whole plant in Minneap-
oils upon Il large and extensive scale,
including all of their mills, elevators,
warehouses, track and switching facil-
tiles, etc. 1t is the largest flour exhibit
here and embraces many novel feat
ures. For instance, the company has
constructed a large barrel containing
10000 small barrels by 2 1-2 inches,
representing their output of -four in one
day. They are also furnishing an I'M
limited number of these small barrels
as a memento of the Columbian exposi-
ton to visitors. They are made hollow,
with q removable cap, so that they
furnish an excellent receptacle for small
articles. r.-
The exhibit contains a large painting
of a field ON the farm of Dalrymple of
North Dakota containing $500 acres

InnnniSSihIe,

The technicalities of the law are often
too tine-drawn for the lay understand
ing. The Rochester Post-Express re-
ports a case which sounds like a bur-
lesque, but it is said to be true. At a
term of the circuit court in one Of the
np-riyer counties, not long ago, a horse
case was on trial, and a we'll known
'horseman'' was called as a witness.
We'll, sir, you saw this horse?" said
the defendants counsel.
Yes, sir, /"
What did you do?"
II jest opened his mouth to find out
how old he was, an says to him, says
l, Old feller, guess you're purity good
yet"
''Stop!" cried the opposing counsel
Your honor, 1 object to any conversa-
tiCn carried on between the witness
and the horse when the plaintiff was
not present"
The objection was sustained.

who Passed the sherman RuY

It may be OF some interest to know
how the vote stood upon the passage Of
the Sherman bill in the Republican
Congress which forced it upon the peo-
pie of this country. The vote in the
Senate stood as follows: Republicans
for it, 20; Democrats against it, 26; and
this included the full vote of tho SEN
ate for and against the passage of the
law. In the House the vote was as fol-
lows: Republicans voting for it, 121y
also one Independent. Against Ii were
80 Democrats. And this is the full
vote upon the adoption of the bill In
both houses. One Democrat in the
House and fifteen Republicans not
paired refused or neglected to vote.
Thus it will. be seen how the Democrats
stood then upon this compromise meas
ure, They did not compromise much
one way or the other. They were
solidly against the measure, and have
none of the responsibilities Of its evil
effects to carry.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of a perfect lax
ative; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

profession, because 10 acts on the Kid

Not a Lack OF CURRENCY.

The Hon. John De Witt Warner pre-
sented memorial from the New York
Chamber of Commerce to the House,
during the silver debate, praying for
the repeal of the silver-purehasing
clause of the Sherman act. Mr.. War
ner explained, for the benefit of West
ern and Southern Congressman, that
the Chamber of Commerce "is not
composed either exclusively or mainly
of bankers" but of business men who
are borrowers and not loaners of mon
ey. They are big merchants and
traders who are interested in the pros
perity of the whole country. In reply
to questions from various Representa-
tives, Mr.. Warner said that he was
willing to advocate each and every
plank in the Democratic platform. He
expressed himself as follows regarding
the question of whether or not it is a
lack of currency or lack of confidence
that is now affecting this country:
IF this country has learned anything
from the present crisis so that it has
been burned into its memory as with a
Ied-hot iron, it has learned this, that
while the currency has been increasing
as fast as gold can be brought from
Europe, and as fast as Government
notes can be printed, money has been
getting scarcer than before. Men are
beginning to learn that the real money
of commerce, the real currency for the
transaction of business, does not con-
sist In silver or gold, but in the conf
dence OF business men.
THAT, sir, is the matter in which the
chamber of commerce is primarily in
terested, We want the Government,
not to help us to do business, but to let
us alone, so that we can have facilities
to do business. This law is destroyer
of confidence, an interference with the
development of this country; and we
ask to have it repealed.
we want that repeal, not as an end,
but as a means; as means to the re-
instatement of the public confidence, so
that, as in former fourishing times,
every bale of cotton as it reaches the
press, every bushel of wheat as it
reaches the elevator, every ton of ore
as it lies on the dock, shall be basis of
credit and be current money through
out Christendom.
IF that law, which puts it out of our
and your power to restore that con-,
tidence, is once repealed we can CO.
operate with you in helping on what
will be the greatest reaction of pros.
perity that this country has ever seen
in which, from Texas to Maine, from
Florida to Washington, all will be,
blessed, and We with you will share in
the benediction."

AND THEY WERE HAPPY

As Sensible People Who Have No
Romance About Them Deserve to

She was a girl about eighteen years
old out Of a possible twenty. She had
on q neat calico dress, white apron
and cute but cheap straw hat. Just
as the young man was passing she
dragged bundle containing twenty-siX
yards of brussels carpet out of the side
door and flung it over the veranda rail
and jumped after it.
He stopped dead still and n smile of
hope lighted up his aristocratic features.
While he smiled she opened up the
bundle and seized One-half of the car
pet and hoisted it over a clothes line.
While he smiled mors and more and
seemed to whisper to himself, she Spat
on her hands, grabbed the other half,
and, with long drawn ma she boost
ed it over a second line, says the De
troit Free Press.

he drew nearer; but the girl was look
ing for one of those swamp elm sticks
which they sell with baled hay at 1000
per cent profit and heard him not.
She presently found one. 1t weighed
about fifteen pounds. She tucked up
her sleeves, mOistened her palms, seized
it with both hands, and with a 'h-u-u-un
which could be heard down on the next
block she fetched that carpet a swat
which made buttons and hairpins fly
ten feet high.

young man with the Queen Anne coun-
tenance-"but this is what I've been
looking for"

turned to find the young man at her
elbow.

EAST, West, Homes Best"

1t is a pleasing weakness of human
nature to assume that every good thing
belongs in a peculiar way to ones own
country or to ones own special part
Of it. A Frenchman who had been
spending a considerable time in Ger

crossing the frontier back into his own
country:
There are birds singing in the trees.
We are in France again."
This story is matched by true one
of New England woman who spent
two years in Illinois, and returning to
her beloved home, wrote as follows to
a friend in the East:
':It is so nice to be back in the East
and hear the locusts, katydids and
brown thrushes once more"
All these creatures had made the sum-
mer air musical in the part of the
country which she had been visiting,
but during her Punishment she had nev-

J. NJ. Dinwiddie of Cedar Rapide said;
LET me add my experience. A man
came into my bank with n check for
S15-his wages as carpenter, he said.
He was dressed like a workingman.
He looked like one. In every way he
had the appearance of an honest man.

he claimed to be, and cashed his check,
He had forged the signature. He
cashed six others just like it in our
city that day. We got him and looked
him oyer afterward carefully, but I
couldn't see anything about him which
confiicted with my first Judgment that
he was an honest worllingman. Even
after he was in prison he was just as
honest looking as when he came to the
bank window"

Astcnished Savages.
The author of Where Three EN-

desOlate inland home in the Himalayan
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to
the more civilized south. Like most
savages, they looked with stupid in
difference at the marvels about them,
and once only were they excited by
an incident which opened their eyes
to what they considered an extraordi-
nary and unnatural state of things.
They were descending a road when
one of them CHANGED to remark that he
was hungry, and the English "sahib'
bought him some food at way-side
shop. The Kafir saw the money change
hands.
How is this?" he inquired in surprise.
do you have to pay for food in this
country?"
Certainly"
What a country cried the man,
in amazement Then after pondering
a while he continued, doubtfully, Sup
pose a man had no money in this coun-
try; he might starve!'
ut is quite possible"
The Kafir shook with uncomfortable
laughter. It was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained the
ridiculous system to his companions,
and they roared in chorus.

1t is the natural result OF the McKin-
