DANGER NOT YET PAST.
The Country Near Brainerd, MIMI,
Regarded Anxi0usly.

Regarded Anxi0usly.
ST. PAUL, MiEn.. September At seems
that the worst danger now in Minnesota
is to the southeast of Brainerd and Little
Falls. and that section is being watched
anxiously. Reports are received by the
railroads from along their lines. but do not
indicate that the end has yet come The
Northern Pacific report that all along their
line from Little Falls to Cutting all the
small stations, three In number. have been
burned. The timber all through that Sec
ton Is on fire. and the fire Is raging furious
ly to the north of Brainerd and Little Falls.
As the timber In that section is much
heavier than where the fires ragged in Pine
county the railroad officials say that moth
ing can save the whole country but a very
heavy rain.
The showers yesterday were only In
places heavy enough to have any real ef-
feet on the dfes. The Omaha road has re-
ports from Washburn that the fires there
have been confined thus far to the out
skirts Of the town and that only q few
lumber mills and a few lumber yards on the
edge Of this city have been destroyed thus
far.
However, as no rain has fallen there the
fires are still burning fiercely. and hopes of
entire security are not entertained. A
heavy wind would quickly fan the flames
ana carry them through the country, and
possibly into the town.
The train service on all lines between st.
Paul ard Duluth has been restored, except
on the Eastern Minnesota, and resumption
of traffic on that line is only a matter of
hours. At some points transfers are made
across burned bridges, but they will be re-
built tomorrow, at the latest. Sunday and
yesterday were very busy days for all the
roads. Bridge crews were working all along
the Liz es In the burnt districts. The track
men we're replacing the warped rails with
new steel
The first train to arrive here from Duluth
was No. 63 OF the Omaha road. which left
the head Of the lakes Sunday evening. The
passengers reported the towns Of Barron
nette, Granite Bashaw and Cowstock COM
pletely destroyed. At Shell Lake about 5S
houses have been burned. Duluth Is taking
care of about 1000 refugees, and sending
them supplies as fast as the citizens can
collect them. The Omaha road - now in
operation. except that part ~ Tie line be-
tween Mason and Ashland One bridge was
burned at Beloit and two north Of Ashland
All regular trains are now running out to
Pine City. A relief special train has been
placed on the line between Hinckiey and
Pine City, and makes frequent trips be-
tween these two points. Assistant General
Manager Miller Is on the ground assisting
in the relief work.
Trains on the Northern Pacific between
Brainerd and Duluth are running, and the
wires all along the line are In good repair.

the scanty supply of manure from the
barn yard, and his ten bushels of wheat,
twenty-five to thirty of corn, three-quar-
tiers of ton Of hay to the acre, and follow
along in that line. Where would he land?
There was in those old days an even
distribution of wealth then, and
people lived OH a lower plane of civ
ilization. And they were controlled by
the economic conditions of that day.
The advance of the age has lifted them to
another and what should be a higher
civilization, and it would be if the accom-
panying conditions did not take from him
that hath not and give to him that hath,
until he hath an over-abundance. Saving
and econonizing and living parsinon-
ious life which presses him down till he
is but little above the beasts, will not cure
the evil, and moss backs theory carried
to its legitimate results, ends in wage
slavery, which will in time reach the COIL
dition of the fellahs of Egypt, the serfs of
Russia and the ryots of India.
These men who live by toll and belong
to the working class and are enlisted on
the plutocratic side in apologising for and
endeavoring to justify present economic
outrages, will be cursed in their graves by
their children, and they will deserve to
be cursed for assisting to doom posterity
to life of wage slavery. These old
buffers should read Dogs and Fleas.
The book would help their sluggish intel
lects amazingly.

The Defective Plates.

Lieutenant Alderman presented state
ment which was regarded by the COM
nlittee as very important, as it gave the
various ships of the navy on which the
defective armor plates are located, with
the exact location of each plate. These
plates as originally numbered and lettered
are 469 now inside armor of Monad-
mock AoS, i'll coming tower of Min
neapolis A333, Massachusetts 4-inch
easement; X37C, starboard SPONSOR of
New York 1884, also i'll starboard spon-
son of New York A327, Monterey's for
ward turret; A3S6. Minneapolis coming

Castine A37I, Amphitrite's belt plate

nock's side armor; A6Io, Oregon's bar

New York's coming tower shield ST.
and 7o3, Monadnock's II 4 inch barbette;
AGO, New York's Io-inch barbette A4SI,

chusetts' 6-inch barbette; 7o2 and COS,
Monadnock's barbette o24, Oregon's tur-
ret Xo, Monterey's side armor; KS and
three other specified plates in Monterey's
side armor.
OF the foregoing plates the defects are
of various kinds and degrees of serious
ness. X9 is plugged plate containing
forty blow-holes and plugged hole made
by a cog-wheel which was pressed into
the plate by mistake. KS is said to con
tain a blow-hole into which a wire was
inserted to depth of four feet. The
defects of other plates consist of irregular
treatment i'll process of manufacture.
When Napoleon III went to war with
Germany many of the shells of the
French army were found to be filled with
sand in place of powder. 1t would seem
that we have in the United States lot of
the same class of rogues, and the great
Carnegie Company of Homestead noto-
riety appears to stand at the head.

From Friend to Friend

Goes the story of the excellence of Hoods
and what it has accomplished,
and this is the strongest advertising which
is done on behalf of this medicine. We
endeavor to tell honestly what Hoods
Sarsaparilla is and what it will do, but
what it has done is far more important
and far more potent. Its unequalled
record of cures is sure to convince those
who have never tried Hoods Sarsaparillu
that it is an excellent medicine.

The Single=Tax Courier.

The national single tax paper
published at st. Louis, Mo. has
lately been much improved. The
Courier is now printed in 16 page
form on fine white paper cut and
pasted and is one of the very neat
est of our exchanges. The paper
is gradually broadening in its views,
as every reform paper must. 1t is
not any one reform, or branch OF
reform that can free the people
from the incubus of monopoly, but
several of these hoary monsters
which eat the bread of idleness and
suck the blood of labor must be
destroyed. Two of the strong holds
of these vampires is the rent OF
land and the rent of money. These
two unearned incrementS should go
into the public treasury and through
that avenue find their way into the
pockets of the whole people in
place as now into the pockets of a
favored class-a comparatively
small class.
The reform elements are steadily
drawing towards each other and all
must finally meet at one spot, the
ballot box, where they will strike
hands. They cannot avoid this
meeting and union if they would
and should not if they could.
Government control of every natural
monopoly or corporation, is in one
form or other the aim of all.
When the state creates an artificial
person it must hold rigid supervi
sion over that dangerous encrOach-
er on the rights of the citizen.

We are not opposed to the National
Guard military organizations that are
creating great standing army in the
United States, but are opposed to the
system that makes such military organ
lzations necessary. The conditions are far
more dangerous than the army. If the
conditions were abolished by wise and
Just legislation the N. G. would disappear,
IN place of flourishing as a green bay
tree"

O In O Hotel.

New York hotels and apartment
houses have usually gone to England
for their names. The Victoria, the
Windsor, the Brunswick, all serve to
illustrate how fond Americans are of a
name which carries with it a suggestion
of the mother country. The new Plaza
hotel, however, has varied the pro-
gramme by choosing a name associated
with Venice, and has heightened the
effect by taking as a symbol the lion of
st. Marks. He shakes his shaggy name
at the guest from every possible place
in the furniture and decoration of the
house.
He crouches under the stairway, is
woven into the window curtains, and
even looks out with good natured fe-
rocity from the center of every piece of
the Limoges dinner service. The king
of beasts might not take kindly to sery-
ing al the device of an ordinary house
of entertainment, but he cannot surely
feel it a sacrifice to his dignity to pre-
side over such splendor as surrounds
him on every side at the Plaza. Kate

Gas and Glass.

There is good deal in the way you
turn up an ordinary every day Tor
night gas jet with a glass shade or
globe over it. Those small jets that
are like penciled rays Of light, directed
suddenly against the globe, cause un-
equal expansion, and the globe cracks.
Still more remarkable results attend
the too swift Illumination Of the best
room when the young daughter of the
house is bidding her lover good night,
and has left the Light very low while
she stands in the shadow, and while
her beau is satisfying himself which
side of his hat he ought to turn to the
front. The expansion and contraction
noticeable in true lovers discounts glass
all hollow.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

How steam Has Helped Man.

A steam sshorse power is equa: to
three actual horses power; and 'liv-
ing horses strength is equal to that of
even men. The steam engines of the
world represent, approximately, the
working power of ], 1000, OO0, 0OOof men,
or more than double the working pop
ulation of the world, the total popula-
ton of which is usually estimated at
LASS, 923, 900 inhabitants. Steam has
accordingly enabled man to treble his
working power, making it possible for
him to economic his physical strength
while attending to his intellectual de-
velopment.-St. Louis Republic.

Ii our people would manifest as much
interest to the welfare and building up
of our town, as they do to politics,
what a change there would be in a few
years. And the sooner we come to a
realization of this fact, the better.
There is too much time wasted in polit-
ical matters, and in 9 cases out of 10,
when a man is elected to office, he for
gets the friends who helped to put him
there. Give more time to business, and
we will venture to say that in ten years
9 town will double its present size
