Normal schools perform service for
common schools like that which col
leges accomplish for medicine and
surgery, for law and for all other eff
fort that has settled code of beliefs
which govern human activity. The
good school presents an organized ef-
fort that is powerfully seconded by
libraries and apparatus that is unlike
ly to be equalled by any conditions
that an individual can secure in pri-
vate study,-and the mutual personal
acquaintance of students and teachers
in a normal school, becomes power
full influence for the ends of ambitious
youth. These normal school condi-
tions invite attendance of young
men and women who believe that
study and reflection can promote
their ultimate effort to aid communi-
ties in their purpose of maintaining
good local schools.-W. ID. Parker,

"Palace Cars"

Under this head are comprised
sleeping, hotel, DINING, drawing
room, private, hunting and composite
cars. As long ago as 1896, the first
attempt to provide sleeping accom-
modations on train was made on the
Cumberland Valley railroad, in Penn
sylvania. The train from Harrisburg
arrived at Chambersburg at night,
and many travellers desired to go i'm
mediately through to Philadelphia.
A car Was fitted up with stationary
hunks, such as are in use on steam
boats and was divided into four sec
lions, each having three berths, upper,
middle and lower. Each passenger
was expected to furnish his own
bedding. The first regular sleeping
car. built according to present ideas,
was constructed by man named
Thorn pson, at Springfield, Mass, in
1857 or 1858. The car was bought
from Thompson by the late Webster
Wagner, then wagon-maker, and
from this has developed the great
Wagner Palace Car company. Geo.
NJ. Pullman is another of the pioneers
in this business OF making travel
luxurious, and his cars are known all
over the world. Another early in
ventor was Woodruff, who made con-
siderable money on his patents, by
royalties paid By both the Pullman
and Wagner companies. Sleeping
cars were first used in the state of
New York in 1889. The Burling-
ton Route trains contain the finest
products of the Pullman company in
the way of sleeping cars of the most
modern kind, and as TO dining cars,
they long since had the title of peerless
bestowed on them by the delighted
public. For tickets, maps and time
tables of this route apply to your
home agent, or address w. J. c. Ken
yon, Gen. Pass. Agent, St. Paul,

The game of base ball Sunday be-
tween the Fats and the Leans result
ed in an easy victory for the Leans.
We understand the Fats are not dis
couraged, however, and have already
issued a challenge lCr another game
to be played next Sunday.
Was it suicide or murder? Tues
day morning the body of a dog was dis
covered suspended from the footbridge
near Sorenson's by rope around his
neck. The dog had undoubtedly been
running across the bridge with the
rope dragging after him when a knot
in the end OF the rope caught in a
crack. jerked the dog from the bridge
and choked him TO death.
Several from Baldwin came out to
witness the ball game last Sunday.
Lars Lee has gone to Minnesota.
John Logan has gone to Dakota to
run his threshing machine.
Carrie Lien has returned to st. Paul
to work in bakery.
