following day Bulow caught sight of
her in the theater as he took his baton
in hand. He stopped the music, held a
hurried conversation with one of the
members of the orchestra, and then as
cended to his place again. He iourished
his baton, and one instrument began 20

Elsewhere we publish the proceed
ings of meeting held last week for
the purpose of taking action relative
to the suppression of the Russian
thistle. On Saturday next the ad-
journed meeting will be held, and we
would earnestly urge a general at
tendance, as it is matter of import
to every resident of the county, not
only to the agricultural portion of the
community, but to the business and
general public as well. From personal
observation and from official sources
we learn that the spread of this
prolific scourge is astounding, and
that general, intelligent and concerted
action can alone eradicate the pest.
So wide is the scope of territory in
fected and SO rapidly does this bane-
full plant spread, that it will require
local, municipal, state and national
legislation to successfully cope with
and effectually suppress this noxious
weed. It is therefore, a matter OF
grave Importance, that prompt and
judicious action be taken, and we
hope that Saturdays meeting will be
largely and generally attended.

The Post Office

September %, 1889, the Congress
of the United States passed an act for
the establishment of national post
Office system, and that prince of
practical men, Benjamin Franklin,
was appointed the first Postmaster
General. Previously some of the
colonies had made attempts to provide
for postal service. In 1867, the Vir-
ginia legislature passed an act re-
curing planters to furnish man and
horse to forward letters from plan
tation to plantation, under penalty Of
being fined hogshead of tobacco. In
1872, monthly post" was started
between New York and Boston. From
1892 to 1899, the following were letter
postage rates: 30 miles, 6 cents; 60
miles, s cents; 100 miles, ten cents;
$50 miles, IL cents; 200 miles, Is
cents; $50 miles, IL cents; $50 miles,
20 cents; $50 miles, % cents; over
$50 miles, 25 cents. These rates were
pretty nearly prohibitory. In 1916,
the rate was reduced to cents for
distance under 300 miles; over that
distance 10 cents. In 1850, the rate
was made cents on prepaid letters
5 cents on not prepaid, under 10000
miles; over that distance, double
rates. October z, 1883, the letter rate
was reduced to 2 cents for any dis
lance in the United States. In 1875
the estimate Of the Post Office depart.
ment indicated a profit of 100000
on letter mail, but a loss ISL, 100000
on newspapers aud packages Two
out of three post offices do not pay
expenses of maintenance. The most
rapid development, however, has been
in the railway mail service. Whole

1t is evident from S. NJ. Ovens re-
Gently published utterances, that he
is anxious to placate Donnelly, but it
remains to be seen whether Ignatius
will be appeased by the did-not-know
twas loaded utterance of the populist
candidate for governor. There is nc
manner of question but that the anti
Donnelly faction deliberately tried to
turn him down, and all attempts to
ooneiiiate with expressions of hypo-
critical regret are too transparent tc
impose upon a man of Donnelly's
astuteness and experience, although
it is stated that Donnelly processes tc

THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Farmers of Stevens County Organ
izing to Fight the Pest.

Pursuant to notice, q meeting was
held at the Court House last Saturday
by the farmers and citizens of Stevens
county, and steps were taken to de-
claro war on the Russian thistle.
The meeting was called to order by
Gen. Barrett, and on motion, N. r..
Spur was chosen chairman and r, j.
Hall secretary.
On request of Gen. Barrett, Mr.,
Hall read extracts from Bulletin No.
Is, issued by the department of Ag-
riculture, giving history of the Rus
sian thistle in the United States and
the best means of DISCRIMINATING it.
After discussion, the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we recommend that
the citizens of the villages of Morris
and Hancock and of the several towns in
the county Immediately call q meeting in
their several townships, to take such meas
ureS as they may deem best to destroy the
Russian thistle and to prevent 1t spreading
beyond its present limits.
RESOLVED, That we request the village
councils in the villages of Norris and Han
cook and the supervisors in each township
to Immediately ascertain to what extent the
Russian thistle has already infested the land
in their several townships, and forward as
soon as possible to the county auditor full
description OF the land so infested, giving
township, range, section and the quarter
that is known to be seeded at this time Civ
ing the number of acres and what is being
done to eXterminate the weed and prevent
its spreading.
Resolved, That Immediately on receipt
Of the reports from the several townships
the county auditor is requested to cause a
map of the county to be made, giving a de-
scription of the land infested by the Rus
sian thistle, and that he forward copy of
the same to Governor Nelson, with q view
of asking the state to enact laws to aid in
the destruction of the Russian thistle.
On request for information the fol
lowing towns were reported to have
the thistle.

"The Ministry Of Beauty. !"

N@ AfAthlS&Ay M D&eA@&ys
I have just been reading again Of
the origin and work of the w. @. It..
US flower mission and my heart has
been touched with the sweet and sim
pie story. How many open doors of
usefulness there arc in this world, IL
we will but keep our eyes open to SEQ
them. Open doors, not closed and
bolted, and if each would enter the
door which God opens to him what
blessings would food this sin-cursed
world, Yes, the ministry of beauty"
is great, and I'm so glad | live in this
generation, when this ministry is be.
ing effectually worked,
Well do I remember when was a
boy, living less than two miles from
the home of Martin Van Buren,, how
several of us little ones would wander
near the elegant home of the express
ident and try to look over the high
stone wall that surrounded the man
sion. All we could see were the up
per stories of the house and the tops
of the trees. Sometimes the keeper
of the lodge would allow us to pass
through the gates and look at the
beautiful flowers that. were so plenti-
full. The thought would often come
TO me, why the high walls to shut out
the garden? Surely, giving view to
the passer-by would not impoverish
the owner, and withholding did not
enrich him. But that was the custom
of those days. Now the rich have
learned better, the stone fence has
given way and the beauty of the vel
vet lawns and the gorgeous flowers
of palatial homes can be enjoyed by
the poorest and humblest passer by.
Let the blessed work go on, and
may this ministry be pushed into the
damp cellars and forbidding garrets
of the poor, into the convict's cell and
the chamber of death. Break the al
abaster box to the living and let the
perfume as well as the beauty fill all
this great home where Gods people
live. And may the "beauty of the
Lord our God" be upon these tireless
ones, and may He establish the work
of their hands, Rev. G. E. Vaudeville.
