MILLS START.
Just Turning the Machinery Over To-
day but Will be Running Pull
Time in Few Days.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Pine Tree mills will start this
afternoon, but it is not likely that
they will get down robustness until
the latter part of the week. They
will run night and day and it is the
intention to saw about 70, 600, 900 feet
this season, which is twice as much
lumber as they manufac tured last
year. The company put in about
II 900, 900 feet the past winter and
had 10000, 900 feet OF logs left over
from last season.
About 450 men will be employed
this season and ten hours will con-
stitute days work. Any man who
starts in now and continues in the
employ Of the company until the
close OF the season will receive a
bonus Of one hours pay on each
day. II, however, he quits before
the end OF the season he will not be
entitled to the bonus.
In speaking of the matter last
night Mr.. Weycrhaeuser said he
thought it would be a good thing for
the men and encourage them to stay
until the close of the season. Of
course great deal more work can
be done by men who are used to
working together than where some
one is quitting every day and a green
hand put on. The company desires
that every man who goes to work
now will stay till the end and get
the bonus.

The Other Side.

FERGUS FALLS, April IA suit
has been begun in the United States
district court in this city, in which
the United States is the plaintiff, and
J. Edelbrock, H. c. Waite, Michael

ents. The complaint sets up that
Edelhrock was postmaster at Saint
Cloud from 1856 until 1890, and that

derived from the sale of stamps, and
has declined to make good the same.
The suit is to collect the shortage
from Edelhrock and his bondsmen.
Upon the face of the above it would
appear that .eX-Postmaster Edel-
brock was a defaulter, yet nothing
could be farther from the truth.
He was seen by Times represent
ative this morning. and said he cared
nothing at all about the above publi-
cation. In fact, he was glad the
matter was to be tried in court.
This was exactly what he wanted
to get Il decision as to the question
in dispute. Mr.. Edelbrock states
that department did not allow him
as much for clerk hire, rent, &C., as
the law provided he should have, and
in making remittances he retained
the amounts the law prescribed.
This is all there is OF the suit, and he
is confident the court will sustain
him.-St. Cloud Times

Of an electrically heated wire the public
is already more or less aware That the
interior of a mans body may be SO lit

appearance of an old fashioned lantern
with a dim light burning inside has also
been asserted frequently, but the process
of accomplishing this is not familiar.
It is done by electric lights which, on
a small scale, are like those that shine
upon poles and towers. A email electric
light bulb at the end Of long tube is
inserted into patients stomach The
button is pressed. and his stomach be-
comes luminous. BY an arrangement
of mirrors the physician is able to see
the inside coats Of the stomach itself and
determine what kind Of dyspepsia that
man has, wheth<: it was brought on by
free lunches - overindulgence in hard
work
Whenever the blood is perfectly
healthy it is bright red and clear. If
the hand is held up before a light. the
light will shine through it clear and semi
transparent unless there is some wound
or eruption; then the fingers will look
dark, and tho scnlitransparency will not
be manifest. So the unhealthy stomach
looks thick and dark and will not let the
light shine clear and red through it.
This s-t1ue OF every part of The body.
Wherever there is cancer, tumor or
anything that thickens and darkens the
bright red Muscular tissue, or wherever
there is a foreign body in the stomach, it
can be discerned in a moment by this
searchlight of the human anatomy.
