The Progress of Woman.

In all that goes to ameliorate the
condition of the human family, NOR
ally, socially, politically, or in a
material way, no century of which we
have any record, shines so con-
spicuously as the present. Within
the past hundred years the republics
of France and the United States have
been born; absolute monarchies have
been Except that of Russia) gradually
hedged in and there powers decreased; !;
the slave trade has been made piracy,
serfs emancipated in Russia, and
slavery wiped out in our own country.
The telegraph and the railroad with
their civilizing influences, are children
of this century The great benevolent
and fraternal movements have attained
their greatest force in our day. In
our age, too, has begun the emanci-
patton of woman from the prejudices
which limited her scope of occupation
and her right to complete education.
She is now in all kinds Of business
and professions, and the most splen-
did schools have been founded for
the benefit of her sex. Political
equality has in many places, too, been
conferred upon her. The luxurious
ness Of modern travel, also, is largely
due to the feeling that nothing is too
good Or too dainty for women. This
it is which led to the sumptuousness
of the sleeping and parlor cars oper-
ated on most lines of railroad. In the
management of the elegant compart-
ment sleeping cars in service on the
Burlington between ST. Paul and
Minneapolis and Chicago, new de-
partment has been taken-two COM
partments are absolutely reserved for
the exclusive use of ladies. What q
convenience it is for ladies travelling
without escort or in charge of children,
to have one of these cosy boudoirs for
their sole use, must be tried to be
appreciated. Tickets via this line
may be had from any coupon ticket
agent, and sleeper Accommodations re-
served in advance, For any infor-

Village Finances.

At this time, and before the annual
reports are completed by the village
recorder or treasurer, it will be i'm
possible to furnish complete estimates
of the financial standing of our
village, but a very close estimate is
possible and we give the results of
last years stewardship, so that our
people may see just how the retiring
council has administered the city's
affairs.
By comparison with last year the
statement is very favorable, as while
the receipts have been the same, the
expenses are very much less. Our in
come was greater from the liquor
licenses but less from other sources,
owing to the stringency in money
market and small tax collections, so
that the amount of available cash was
about the same.
The previous council issued orders
amounting to $7,91948, and as 1925
of this amount was for interest and
payment on bonds, we deduct it, as
this is not included in this years
statement. This leaves $6,584.48, but
to this we can rightfully add about
$3.50, the amount of the bills paid by
the present council, that were con
tracted by their predecessors, making
total of 81 ,235.48. Now this years
total of orders issued, less the $3.50
above mentioned is $3.50, nett
saving of So, 3,384.48.
| Of course the repeal of the poor law
bill saved from ST. 200 to $1,5OO, but
on the other hand the extra expenses
for contagious diseases, special police
and other items Of unusual expenses
cost about $500.

tinue the business, general merchan-
dising, on a larger scale than ever,
and new lines will be added and ex-
sive additions made to the large lines
already handled. Litchfeld is to be
congratulated on the acquisition of
new capital and enterprising and
experienced business ability.
One of the needs of our village is an
opera house, and while the times are
not propitious for any enterprises of
this kind, yet we do need suitable
hall for public gatherings and trust
by eternal harping on this string to
spur up some one, so that when the
incoming wave of returning prosperity
reaches us, there may be an enterpris-
ing individual found to confer the
boon of a good, safe, sizeable well
constructed and we'll ventilated opera
house on long suffering public.
We understend that points on the
line from Morris to Browns Valley
will make an organized effort to have
the mail car now attached to the day
train run over this line. The purpose
is to avoid vexatious delays incident
to the present pouch service, as for in
stance, party at Graceville wanting
to write to party at Chokio, his
letter now comes to Morris and has to
be returned by next train. If the
mail car goes over the line, all mail
will be distributed between stations.
1t would seem as if the regular rail
way mail service should be inagurat-
ed, as the route has outgrown the
pouch system.
