Elder Brooks upon this interesting sub

Minnesota" and the following is a
newspaper clipping about that regi-
ment. 1t speaks for itself:
The state of Minnesota, through a
board of commissioners authorized by
the legislature, has erected a monument
on the battlefield of Gettysburg TO com
memorate the deeds of the First infan-
try, to be dedicated in the early part of
October. There have been wonderful
charges in the great battles Of the
world, charges that still thrill the sol
diers of the nations, charges that
through succeeding generations have
won and still shall win, the admiring
recognition of the tactician, the noblest
lines of the historian, the rich and
splendid imagery of the poet. Yet from
the loins of this young commonwealth
sprang a regiment of men who made a
charge more wonderful in its daring,
more terrible in its result, more rich i'll

ceded 1.-THE most heroic charge of his

PATENTS.
Notice to Investors.

There was never a time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was SO great as
now. The conveniences of mankind In
the factory and Workshop the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life,
require continual accessons to the APP
purtenances and implements of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not per-
nit the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies
i Too great care can not be exercised IN
choosing a competent and sklllful after
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innuin-
cradle instances by the employment OF

THE ELECTIONS.
Three PopuIis;s Pun Through in
Rio B!anco with Dcm-Rep.
Assistance.
The Republicans Sweep Everything Be-
fore Them in All Of The
Northern States.
Chusetts Slipped From Their
Democratic Moorings.

The election passed off with the
usual quietness characteristic of this
county, and the result shows that the
fusionists elected four out of eight Of
their candidates, the Populists elected
three, and there is tie between Messrs.
UIdland and LuXen, which will take the
official count to determine.
During the last few days of the cam
paign thePopulists concentrated all their
force on their candidates for sheriff and
superintendent and succeeded in cap
turing these two offices together with
the surveyorship, which was not con-
sidered worth fighting for. On the
fourth page will be found the unofficial
returns.
The Meeker herald., 1893-11-11

Colorado is again Il Republican State,
that party having carried all the popu-
lOus counties, such as Arapahoe, Ell
Paso, Pueblo, Lake, Weld, Boulder,
Jefferson and several other large coun-
ties, and the returns would indicate
that majority of the less populous
counties went the same way. One year
has satisfied the people with Populist
rule.

Teaching a new horse to come out Of
his stall at the fire alarm signal and
range himself alongside the pole is not
so difficult as might be supposed.
Imagine a pair of new horses assigned
70 an engine. The surroundings are more
or less terrible to them, but they are
very gently and carefully handled and
gradually lose their fear Their tuition
begins at once, and the driver is their
teacher, assisted by the other men.
The ordinary signal is given, as if for
a fire. The stall doors open, and the
horses are led out, put in position, and
in a few minutes led back. This process
is perhaps q dozen times repeated. Great
pains are taken that the animals shall
not strike against anything, or be by any
means frightened.
The unusual spectacle Of a harness sus-
pended in air is apt to disturb them at
first, but they are led slowly mp to it and
induced to smell Of it and inspect it on
all sides.
After they have been led to their posi-
tions a few times they are allowed to
come Of their own accord when the sig
nal strikes, though man stands behind
them to touch them up little if they do
not start promptly at the opening of the
doors. Two weeks constitute the aver
age period Of instruction, but horses have
been known to learn In one lesson. 9th
ers, however, are months in arriving ct

There is nothing in the world which
produces the sense Of mental nausea
more completely, or is more certain TO
turn the intellectual stomach, than the
use Of certain jocularities Of speech with
which many people think fit to adorn
their conversation. The people who
seem to find it impossible to speak Of an
unmarried man except as "a gay bach
elor," with whom the sea IL always ''the
briny" or the herring pond, and a
horse "a fiery steed, /" who eternally talk
about Sunday -go-to-meeting" clothes,
and who have such phrases as mo extra
charge" "agitate the tintinnabulator,
''the noxious weed, 1.-The pipe of peace,
40 winks," and 'braving the elements"
forever on their lips, are capable Of pro-
ducing sense Of disgust in those who
care to see language kept bright and
clean which is absolutely intolerable.
1t is difficult to say whether these cant
phrases-that is, perfectly proper de
scription of them-are more odious when
used consciously or unconsciously-tha
is, by people who believe them to be funny
and intend that their hearers should con-
slider them funny, or by those who have
merely caught them up and repeat them
like parrots and without any intention,
good or bad.-London Spectator.

A Few years ago ! was assistant ianitor
OF large insurance building near old
Trinity, New York. The head janitors
family lived in Greenville, n. ]. he
went home every Saturday night. The
elevator man (ny brother) and I took
turns in watching the building Sundays.
The janitor had an old friend who was a
pantryman ON one of the Old Dominion
steamships. He called one Friday. bur
the janitor was ont. Hewas disappoint-
ed because the steamer he worked on
sailed the next day Saturday. and he
told me there was a storm brewing and
he was afraid Of a rough passage.
Sunday morning l got my breakfast,
went out and got paper and then went
down into the engine room in the base
ment. ! sat there talking to the fireman
perhaps 10 or 90 minutes. All this time
the front iron doors were locked and the
key in my pocket.
At once We heard the front door above
thrown violently open, and it seemed a.
If hundred people came rushing in ON
the main Office floor. The fireman jumped
up and exclaimed, Frank, what the
devil is that? listened a moment and
somebody up stairs screamed: MY Godl
Ny God! We are lost! We are LOST
We Were both pretty well frightened.
but we rushed mp stairs and found every
thing as quiet as the grave. not a soul in
sight and the front doors locked as I had
left them
The next morning when I looked in
the paper what should see on the frrt
page but an account of shipwreck. and
it was the very same ship that the poor
pantryman did not wish to sail on the
Saturday before. His name was among
the lost. Now can any one explain what
it was heard that Sunday?-Cor. New

4 Gala Opening Of the Season at
Olympia Theater.

Probably no drama has become .
more universally recognized fsvoritt
OF theater-goers than Lytton's beauti
full play Of Lady Of Lyons" II pos
sesses, besides the absorbing plot, 9
grace OF diction that tells the romantic
story in the language Of passion and
love. 1t will never grow old a,
long as the human heart responds to
the master emotion and the imagine
ton paints in glowing colors halo to
the fleeting scenes upon the stage.
Aubrey Boucicault, the son OF the
great dramatist and novelist, Dion
Bouocicault, inherits the talent which
will make his name equally As famous
when time has toned down the rough
points of youthful impulse. He is q
model Claude Melnotte. He possesses
. charming address, . fine presence
expressive dark eyes, and enlists in
the fullest sense the sympathy Of his
auditors the moment he steps upon
the stage, and before the, piece ID
through, he sweeps with . master.
hand the chords of sympathy that
shut out the world and leave every
thought centered upon the mimic life
history before the foot-lights. Miss
Bateman makes . charming Pauline,
and affords an adequate support to
the admirable play.
An innovation borrowed from old.
time custom, will be the presentation
Of an afterriece on the second night Of
the co,npany's appearance here. w.
s. Gilbert's beautiful play Of "Sweet.
hearts" will be followed by one-act
drama, "The Dowager."
