It Is Not Valuable For Shipping Pur-
poses-Good For Immediate Use.
REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Nov. "a
State Geologist Winchell has examined
specimens Of the coal found on the farm
of Alfred Moon and pronounces it Gre
taceous Ignite, the same substance
which is found in North Dakota in such
large quantities. He says this vein ex-
tends for miles, horizontally, varying in
thickness from three to four feet. He
says there is great deal of ash in it
and if exposed to the air for any length
of time will crumble and so it would not
pay to place expensive machinery in the
mine, for they would not be able to ship
the coal long distances if expo ed to the
air. Professor Winchel encourages Mr..
Moon to dig all he can for home con-
and for that purpose it will
be very valuable to farmers, who can
purchase it much cheaper than coal
brought here from Iowa.

The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have SO much faith in its
curative powers that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for testimonials.

The following are, it is said, to go
on the free list, viz: wool, hair OF
camel or goat, bituminous coal, iron
ore, lumber, salt, silver, lead ore, flax,
hemp, jute, and large number of
chemicals.
Binding Irvine is likely to be made
free of duty. The high duties i'm
posed on agricultural products will
be mercilessly slaughtered. A duty
will be retained on lemons and
oranges, but several other fruits will
go upon the free list. The duty on
wrapper tobacco will be reduced ST.
or $1.5o per pound when unsteamed,
and so cents more per pound when
steamed.
The internal revenue features of the
bill are substantially agreed upon, ex-
eept the form of the income tax.
There will be no increase on beer or
tobacco or cigars, The only change
will be on whisky.
The additions to the free list will
cause considerable losses of revenue,
and, while reductions of duty are
counted upon to produce increased
imposts, this effect may not appear
for a year or two. The proposed
duty on sugar will bring in about
$30,O00,O00. and it is thought that
some thirty or forty millions will be
received from the increase in whisky
and from the income tax.

years; also a portrait of D. r. Locke

year, including the above mentioned
book free. Send postal to The Blade,
Toledo, Ohio, for a free specimen
copy of the paper. Send the address

One measure that Is urged by many
physicians, and one that should be
enacted at the next session of the
state legislature, is the compulsory
fumigating and disinfecting of rail
road passenger cars. These cars, i'll
ventilated, dirty and with filthy cush-
ions, are most dangerous medium
of carrying and spreading infectious
and contagious diseases.
An instance occurred here recently
that will show the danger. Eight
children were brought from north
ern reservation by rail to Morris, to
enter the Indian school here. Soon
after the arrival they were all taken
down with dyphtheria, and some, if
not all, must have been coming down
with the disease when they left. One
of the boys died within week or so
of his arrival, and one of the girls re-
ported that her father and brother
had just recovered or were recovering
from this dread disease when she left.
Another girl, one of the sick also, re-
ported to the doctor that she had the
same sickness just before leaving.
Now, these eight children travelled in
close cars over a couple of lines of
railroad, and must have not only
spread the disease among many who
occupied the cars with them, but al
SO must have left the disease bacteria
in the cars in which they travelled.
It has been repeatedly noticed and
commented on, that it is dangerous,
for children especially, to travel on
the cars during the cold season, when
the coaches are almost Theoretically
sealed. Time after time has disease
followed trip on the cars, and there
is no question but the subject of dis
infection should receive careful con-
sideration.

Judging from the following from
the Ortonville Herald-Star, the editor
must have had purpose in selecting
certain names in his choice of candi-
dates. 1t looks as if he wanted to
shake red rag at bull, fguratively
speaking:
This paper is in receipt of letter
from "Farmer of Stevens county"
who declares that the republicans OF
that county will demand that they be
given the state senator next year.
The correspondent seems to think
that the recent harmless 'iosh" about
John McCallum is significant, and ac-
cuses Big Stone county of purpose
to appropriate to itself all things po-
litioal. To quiet this apprehension
the Herald Star freely assures the
GARNER" that McCallum is in no
sense candidate, and that if Stevens
county brings out some good man
like II. w. Stone, w. j. Munro, W. c.
Bicknell or ex-Postmaster Randall,
Big Stone county will give him vote
that will be both complimentary and
satisfactory. That Stevens is entitled
to the senator, Big Stone does not
dispute.

The hraring of the Stevenson rate
case before the railroad commission
was begun last week, and it was ex-
pected, and in fact hoped, that the
hearing would be productive of bene-
fit, but the introduction of "Doc"
Fish as an expert witness settled the
matter, and an adjournment sine die
might as well be taken if that class of
witnesses are relied on to make out a
case.
