ject lesson than the presentation OF
the picture of man whom all this
country delights to honor. It would
be a lasting lesson of honesty, patriot
ism, loyalty and virtue, as it hung
from the WALL and would add greatly
to the making of more loyal, honest
men and women. Prof. Torrens said
that Mr.. Race being always in the
front ranks advocating good schools
was like bread cast upon the waters;
that it was greater to give than to re-
ceive.

A RAClEY PRESENTATION.
n Bust Picture of George for the
Public Schools.

At the close of the winter term of
school last Friday afternoon, Superin-
tendent Of Schools, Samuel j. Race
presented the public schools of Red
wood Falls with handsome life-size
bust picture Of George Washington,
neatly and appropriately framed. The
afternoon had been declared half
holiday for recitations, etc., for all the
departments, and the three higher
grades assembled in the high school
room, where the interesting presenta-
ton occurred. Here had come large
number of visitors, among them Revs.
L. L. Hanscom, John Sinclair, Capt.
EN-. Brooks, and Secretary Dornberg,
of the school board. Shortly after
the three grades had been ushered in
to seats the large picture of Washing
ton was brought into the room,
America" was sung, and Supt. Race
was introduced to the crowd.
About year ago, he said, he had
assisted the children in celebrating
the birthday of Longfellow, and to-
day he was there for the purpose of
reminding the students of his love,
and the love they should bear to an
other, and Americas greatest dead
the man that he revered and all ought
to revere-the Father of His Country,

George Washington. Last summer,
he said, he paid visit to the Wash
lngton Home at Mount Vernon, and
it was pleasure for him to look over
the old grounds. His love for the man
grew greater, and it deepened as he
looked down the Potomac, aud gazed
oyer the fields which Washington
looked over. He thought of the beau
tiful home Washington left to give
the best part of his life for his coun-
try, and to have in its representatives
you, it's future citizens.
Two years ago, he said, when he
stood before the tomb of a man whose
cause was hopelessly lost, and wit
messed The people bow down their
head before his grave, he thought it
might we'll be called patriotism, but he
did not so regard it-merely devotion.
An effort in the struggle for freedom,
and that this country might live, is
what he calls patriotism. He desired
to impress upon the minds of the
students and have it proved, that this
country is the best, the greatest and
the richest, and contains the best edu-
Gated people on the face of the globe,
and he trusted that they were study
ing under the instructors with view
to aggrandizing that proud boast.
The daily papers almost every day
report the downfall of some great man
or woman, and the cause of it is a
lack of honesty that which Wash
ington placed highest and of most
worth, he continued, and you
should strive not to tread in the paths
of success and fall as they have fallen
Remember Washington and Lincoln
as the greatest men the United States
has ever produced, and emulate their
example.
Mr.. Race concluded his remarks by
commencing the school children OF
St. Paul for having ornamented the
spinning room of the Washington res
idence, and regretted that the school
children of Redwood Falls had not
done something. He would help the
school children in whatever they
should undertake. He then present
ed the picture to Mr.. Torrens with a
request that it be suspended in con
spicuous part of the school room where
it would be what he hoped it would
be-a picture of patriotism.
Prof. Torrens, in a brief speech, &C
copied the picture, in the name of al
the grades of the school as q token o.
esteem and interest and patriotism o.
one of our citizens. He thought Mr.
Race could not have given better OBJ

Burning of Louis Hyde's FIGURING Mill In
Joliet, In.-Loss, $4,000.
JOLIET. ILL.,, May 25.-At $50 Wednes-
day evening fire broke out in the flour
mill of Louis H. Hyde in the north
western part of the city. The fire de-
partment turned out in full force, but
were unable to save the buildings or
any of the machinery, flour and wheat
in the mill. The building was owned
by the Economy Light and Power Co.,
and, with the machinery, was valued
at $50, 900, which is total loss, with
only 100000 insurance. The -four,
wheat and fixtures We're owned by
Louis H. Hyde. His loss is SIS, ZOO with
$1,000 insurance. Nothing but the
books in the safe was saved. The mill
being situated along the river the fire
department was compelled to fight the
fire from one side. Twenty feet south
of the mill was the Economy Light and
Power Co.'S electric-light plant, which
is valued at 500, 900, and this was saved
only by hard work. The fire, it is
thought, started by spontaneous com
bustion. The mill was running full
force day and night, and was turning
out 225 barrels of flour every twenty
four hours.

"A Trial of Interest to Government Ord
nance Experts.
WASHINGTON, May &c. - At Indian
Head proving ground a 17-inch armor
plate, typical of the turrets of the
battleship Massachusetts,, will be at
tackled by the 12-inch rifle under cor.
ditions similar to those of last Satur-
day, which resulted. in demolishing
an 1s-inch plate at the first
shot The result of the trial
is awaited with unusual inter
est by the ordnance experts
on the contention made by the steel
contractors that the Harveyizing pro-
cess is unsuited for plates of over
twelve inches thickness as severe in
ternal strains are developed by the
treatment that render the steel exceed
ingly brittle. This idea has been COM
batted by naval officers, who declare
that the faults discovered are more
probably due to the lack of sufficient
care exercised by the manufacturers.
The contemplated trial is expected to
throw much light on the subject.

reigned in this city to-day, and the re-

strikers from Ladd and Spring VAL
ley seems to have had good effect
upon the murderous rioters in the
place. They seem to have skunk to

having good suit Of clothes stood in
groups in various parts OF the city
probably discussing the situation. II
is the general impression here that
the strikers are badly frightened
and afraid to move for fear of being in
troduced to dose of cold lead. The
militia are here to preserve order, and
that they mean business is evidenced

strikers is closely watched. Although
it is as quiet as graveyard and there
is little danger of an outbreak, Col.
Bennett and his men are prepared for a
march at any moment. The strikers
have moved without any notice in all
previous attacks, and the militia is pre-
pared to intercept the next movement
on their part.
