Impressions of Washington.

J. D. Witter, president of the First
National Banks of Grand Rapids and
Centralia, Wis, and president of the
Wisconsin River Paper company, having
its mill at Centralia, spent Sunday and
Monday in the city. He is making a
tour of the coast, accompanied by Mrs.
Witter. They have visited the chief
cities and resorts of California and
Oregon and are now doing the Sound
Country. Mr.. Witter said yesterday
that he was very much impressed with
the size of Washington's forests. Since
arriving here he has taken an option on
a large tract of timber land which he
intends to buy. He was shown about
the city Monday by Henry Hewitt,
while J. Fl. Germond, an old friend
conducted Mrs Witter over the resi-
dence and business portion of the town.
''My attention was first attracted to this
state and the timber particularly, by
the Washington building at the Worlds
fair" said Mr. Witter. ''There will be
great many eastern people of means
visiting the Sound country during July
and August. They are coming to look
over the country and not entirely for
pleasure. We have found much more
in this country than we expected. The
development is wonderful for the short
time the state has been settled. Your
cities are wonders in themselves. The
buildings are substantial and here to
stay. You may find business quiet for a
year or two. say this from a practical
view, but business will gradually become
normal again. This is my first trip to
the coast, but it will not be my last one" J"
Mr.. and Mrs. Witter went to Victoria
yesterday to spend ten days in British
Columbia, and will return via Tacoma.

Temperance Lecture.

The Rev. c. T. Everett, of Omro,
Wis, spoke Tuesday evening III the
Compton Hall to u small audience on
the temperance question, and those
who heard him consider him one of the
finest speakers the Good Templars
have ever brought to our cities. After
the address three new members joined
the order and it is expected several
others will soon become members. Why
should not all the people of the Twin
Cities who believe in temperance, be-
come members of the order and lend a
helping hand in the good work.

The Kingdom of Home.

Let home stand first No matter how
high your ambition, no matter how far
your talents or your Influences may
reach, before everything else build up a
true home. Be not its slave; be its
minister. Let it not be enough that it
is swept and garnished, that its silver is
brilliant, that its food is delicious, but
feed the love in it. Then from it's walls
shall come forth the true woman and
the true man.
What honor can be greater than to
found such home? What dignity
higher than to reign it's honored
mistress? What is the ability to speak
from public platform or the wisdom
that can command a seat on the judges
bench, compared to that which can
insure and preside over true home?
To be the guiding star, the ruling spirit
in such home is higher than to rule an
empire.

SUNDAY REST.

What a hallowed quiet seems to
pervade the atmosphere Sunday
mornings. Tired nature seems to have
arrayed herself for the occasion, and if
you are anywhere within the limits of
civilization, the distinctive character
istics of the day will Impress themselves
upon you more earnestly, perhaps,
than anything else has done during the
whole of the week through which you
have just passed. The blessing of
Sunday rest and relaxation is inestima-
BILE. Through it both our physical and
spiritual organisms are refreshed and
renewed. Apart from its special puT-
pose as a day devoted to religious
service, one must admit the wise
provision of infinite wisdom in pro-
viding such periodical season of
material rest for tired nature.

Badly Injured.

Mrs. W. B. Corcoran was badly
lacerated and injured Tuesday morning
by a furiated new milch COW which was
frightened by the family dog, 1t
appears that Mrs. Corcoran was milking
the COW out in the yard, The COW was
united and the dog happened to come
up near by and the COW started for the
dog and in doing so upset Mrs. Corcoran
and hooked and +~ampled upon her.
When rescued she was found badly cut
on the head, the right collar bone
broken, her hands, arms and limbs
badly bruised. DR., Hougen was called
and dressed the wounds and the
patient is getting along as we'll as could
be expected.

FOR GOVERNOR.

The recent election in Milv
while securing good local gov
for that city, has had mue
effect. It has concentrate
opinion upon the mayor as
possible candidate for govern
State needs just such a man
Chief Executive. Mr.. Koch
his present office long Ell
demonstrate that in honesty,
good judgment and sound CO
sense he has fairly earned the C
dence and support of his fellow citize
The tremendous majority he received
bears abundant witness to this fact.
1t is easily asserted that "any good
Republican can be elected Governor
this year," and, that "the people are
fairly aching to get in body blow
against the Democrats" We have
heard such talk, but take no stock in it.
1t is the duty of the Republican Party
to nominate for Governor their best
and most available man; and to rally to
his support every element dissatisfied
with the calamities which Democratic
rule has brought upon the country.
In the personality and character of
Mr.. Koch there is, to our mind, the
best rallying point of any we have
heard mentioned, and we therefore
tender him our cordial support.

Divorce Granted.

We beg the indulgence Of our readers
for referring to our own case of divorce
which has been in litigation over two
years, but We are desirous of expressing
our sincere thanks 10 those who took
part as witnesses in the unplcasantness
of such a trial which was forced upon
us as a last resort; also to counteract
the report current that the decree of
divorce was not granted us. The
Judgment is on record in Wausau,
Marathon County, where the case was
tried, dated May 2nd, 1894 We also
appreciate the faithful service and
persistent efforts of our attorney Mr.. J.
w. Cochran, first in trying to make a
compromise settlement of the case and
later for the efficient manner in which
he conducted the trial. We feel
thankful to all our friends for the part
they took in this Issue in which they
had no individual interest. Friends Of
this character are friends indeed.

The first reference to highland cos
tune occurs in the Saga Of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, 1099-110S, writ
ten by Snorro Sturleson, who was reared
with the children of that monarch 8
daughter. Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men on their return from a
marauding expedition to the west OF
Scotland drought with them great
deal Of the habits and fashions Of cloth
ing of these western parts. They went
about the streets with bare legs and had
short kirtles and overcloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot or Bareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like first reference to
actual tartans in the statutes OF the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
''all ecclesiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing. and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle of the leg. "
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar, which occurs in the fifteenth
century, in the accounts of the lord high
treasurer of Scotland, and which was re-
garded by both Borthwick and Pinker
ton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickson, a
fabric of eastern origin, frequently
variant" or shot, the warp and woof
being of contrasting colors. We find,
however, a true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following CEN
tury, for in August, 1888, there appears
an entry for "iij. elnis of Heland tar
tame to be hoiss to the Kingis grace, I"

intended to be worn with zane schort
