Dr. Elliott Coues' Recent Observations on
the True Source of the Father of Wa
ters-Six Miles From Lake Itasca the
Great River Rises From the Ground.
DIR. Elliott Coues, the somewhat &C.
centric ornithologist, scientist anu the
Csophist, recently visited the headwa-
ters of the Mississippi river and con-
frmed the previous report Of Nicolles
and Brewer that the real source of the
Father of Waters is the Graded Achil-
les, q small stream that rises from
springs about six miles from Lake Itasca
and flows into the lake. An attempt
was recently made by Captain Glazier
to show that the real source of the Mis-
sissippi was a small lake he modestly
named Lake Glazier, but DR.. Coues has
verified in the minutest particulars the
observations Of Nicollet and Brewer.
Starting at Deer lake, Itasca county,
Mimi, DR.. Coues proceeded up the riv-
or to Lake Itasca in a birch bark canoe.
He reached the lake after ten days pad.

uAD1sON,s RESPONSIBILITY.

Madison is the center of activity in
one of the finest counties in our state.
She occupies, therefore, a position of
many opportunities-and OF great re-
sponslbihty. She is the county seat.
Upon her character and her enterprise,
depends largely the character and the
success of Lakec oupty and, beyond that,
of the state.
But, where does this responsibility
rest? Not alone upon the court house
and it's occupants, nor upon our worthy
mayor and his council. 1t is the respon-
sibiity of the city of Madison. 1t be-
longs to those individuals, all and sew
eral, who constitute our population and
enjoy the opportunities which our city
affords. Good citizenship demands, and
good citizens will demand Of all, that
both these things be not only kept in
mind, but acted upon.
The opportunities are various, and
are free to all alike. They are at hand
to be appropriated according to the
worthiness, the capacity, and the grit of
him who seeks them. The responsible
~, however, is one; but to be shared by
all. 1t is the responsibility of true
manhood; and, therefore, of true broth
erhood; and so, of necessity, of good citi-
zenship, everywhere.
AS regards citizenship in Madison, it
takes the form OF fair minded, warm
hearted, and honest c for the
prosperity and good name Of our city.
1t demands an interest in her progress,
as we'll as that of him who enjoys her
privileges. That Madison should, as
speedily as may be, outgrow the crude
ness which is inevitable at first in from
tier villages; that she should swing
steadily, if not rapidly. into line with
more advanced places in all that belongs
to good government, high moral tone,
honor and integrity In the conduct Of
business enterprises, courtesy and good
n in those who walk her streets;
as well as the introduction OF modern
improvements; these, and things like
them, augment the number and value Of
her opportunities and are ingredients in
the common responsibility of her citi-
zens.
For old residents to ~perpetuate old
feuds, besmirch each others character in
the ears of strangers, and discourage
new enterprises that they alone who
were first on the ground may perpetuate
their unseemly strife to supplant their
co-aspirants in the same ambition to
reap the whole advantage OF the place,
and suck the last drop of juice from
every opportunity that offers-thie is
s~eltishness gone mad. To heed such
would be for Madison to commit suicide
in one generation. To seek an opening
in our midst with q single eye to making
personal gain out of chances here found,
as some have done, and others doubtless
will, is greed run wild. If counter.
anced oy US, it can but lead to hasty de-
partures of desirable people, and the
mutual cutting of threats by those who
remain. For the press Of our city to en-
courage either of these f~oIlies, and not
cry aloud and spare not in strong con-
demnation OF them, would be to betray
a solemn trust. Therefore, we speak,
and intend to speak on these issues,
with no uncertain sound. C.
