The Pioneer Press of Saturday
says: The many friends of William
BOnga, the United States Indian in
terpreter at Leech Lake, will regret
to know that he has been sorely
afflicted. He lost one of his boys on
June II, but doubly cruel blow
came later, when two sons died on
the 3lst. In letter to the Pioneer
Press Chief Bonga pathetically says:

But much depends ON the date fixed
for the Mckinley duty ceasing and the
old low duty taking its place. It will be
remembered that the date of the imposi-
ton of the Mckinley tariff was pretty
we'll known long before it came into
force, and the consequence was that
there was very active buying by Ameri-
cans in order to get the plates delivered
at the lower duty. The date reached, or
at least the last day on which the ship
ment was possible for delivery before
that date, there was an immediate ces-
sation of buying, and a stagnation set in
which continues even now.
This state Of things might have been
to a certain extent avoided if makers
had SO arranged the output as to prevent
the American market being glutted as it
was before the act came into force.
Rather the reverse will be the case now.
Till it is known when the repeal will
have effect. buyers will only buy suc:l
plates as are absolutely required for i'm
mediate consumption, and the date onc,'
reached there should be an immediate
demand on large scale for plates.
The great hope is that the repeal will
be as soon as possible. 1t is believed that
the repeal could become law next month,
and the sooner the better. Of all things.
it is hoped it will not be put off till June,
as suggested, for that month is the can
ming time, and it would be a very bad
thing for the tin plate trade were the re-
duction Of the tariff to be put off till
then, for Gamers in their own interest
would naturally only buy as they wanted
plates, for any purchased in excess Of
their actual requirements to the date
would be at loss to them.-Liverpoo
Cor South Wales News.
The small ring of capitalists who recls
oned upon McKinleyism to shut out
Welsh tin plates from the United States,
and who have since discovered that they
were sadly out of their reckoning, are
naturally "bucking" against the Wilson
bill. The material reduction in tariff
virtually involves the extinction of tin
plate making in nAmerica.-CardiffW West
ern Mail.
Assuming, of course, that the measure
is not destroyed beyond recognition in
its progress through the house of repre-
sentatives and the senate, the reduction
on tin plate from 2 is cents per pound
to cent per pound is great concession
and ought to stimulate exports from
South Wales and so make up for the dis
tress of 1S91-2.-Pall Mall Gazette.

SwENVILLE BLHZE
w. J. Sullivan Meets With a
Severe Loss by Fire.

On Sunday morning about
O'Clock w. j. Sullivan of Swanville
aw Oke and found that his hotel and
store building was on fire. He
quickly aroused his family and they
managed to escape with hardly any
clothing. The servant was the last
one in the building and was carried
out by Mr.. Sullivan. They got out
none too soon for hardly had they
gained the open air when the floor
of the second story fell.
Mr.. Sullivan erected this building
several years ago for a hotel and at
the time of the fire the first floor was
occupied as a general store with the
postottice in the front part.
He carried large stock of mer-
chandise and the postoffice outfit
was new and of the latest pattern,
having been put in last fall.
1t was frame structure and
burned so quickly that it was inn
possible to save anything, although
Mr.. Sullivan risked his life to do 50
and his hand was quite badly cut
and bruised by breaking glass try
ing to save some valuable papers.
The loss is about $1,000, besides
$500 in cash and checks. Mr.. Sulli-
van carried an insurance Of about
$4,000, but IS his policies are all
burned he does not know whether
it had expired or hot.
The loss will fall very heavily on
him for just at this time OF year he
does an extensive business in ties
and cordwood.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it probably caught from de-
fective chimney.

Their New Hail In The Tanner
Rhodes Block Ready For
=. Occupation.

For years the Masonic Lodge of
Little Falls has met in the hall over
j. W. Berg's store, and at times
there were hardly enough present to
hold a meeting, but of late years the
lodge, like our city has had a Won
derful- growth and the members
deemed it expedicnt to rent more
commodiuus quarters SO Il COM
mittee was appointed who conferred
with Mr.. Tanner and finally hired
the hall in his new block on the east
room without the ante-rooms neces-
sary in a lodge room. The elective
officers of the lodge were appointed
a committee to see to having the
proper alterations made in order to
have suitable lodge room, and
they have done their work we'll, for
handsomer lodge room cannot be
found in Il city of this size, in the
state. The lodge room is 47X33 feet
in size, and carpetcd with a hand
some red carpet on which is define
ated in black the various emblems Of
the order. At the east end of the
hall is the Masters chair ON a plat
form, handsomely carpeted the same

f>et at the base, with three steps Of
Il seven inch raise. Back Of it is a
curtain Of dark red material about
fifteen feet wild" and extending from
the ceiling to the floor. In front Of
it is Eildrd cord hanging in festoons
and on either end Of the rope is Il

pended three jewels, the plumb,

is the letter "G' in gilt and sus-
pended from the ceiling by almost in
visible wires The senior Warden's
station is in the west end on a plat
form 7x6 feet in size, with two steps.
On either side OF this station is
placed one OF the columns. ThejuniOr
Warden's station is in the south
end, on platform about four feet in
size and has only one step. In the
centre of the lodge is the altar, up
hOlstered i'll blue satin, and the
woodwork of which is trimmed
with gilt. Adjacent to the lodge
room is a banquet hall, 47x12 feet in
size, fully equipped for hall Of this
kind. On the west end Of the hall
are three rooms called the ante-rOOm
preparation room and cloak room,
2SxS, 1OxS and 16X12 feet in size re-
spectively. The first two open into
the lodge room while the third opens
into the banquet hall. The rooms

GUERNSEY COWS AS ECONOMICAL BUTTER
 PRODUCERS.

Perhaps no breed has so honestly won their high rank as butter producers as have the Guernseys. Never forced for large records, they have always stood upon the work they would do at the pail or churn. It is especially gratifying to notice how they are received in the sec- tions where they are introduced. Go in- to New England, down the Hudson in New York, eastern Pennsylvania, Del aware and New Jersey, and into Wis consin, and you find not only fine herds of thoroughbreds, but you will notice that the dairymen of those sections have been impressed with their fine, sub- stantial, business-like appearance and golden-colored products, and have drawn on the breed for the grading up and im- proving of the dairy stock of the section. Tteir ability to produce butter fat at a low cost demands the careful attention of all dairymen. At the New York ex
 pertinent station, several of the dairy breeds are being carefully tested. The recently issued annual report of the di- rector gives the results of the first two periods of lactation. In both instances the Guernseys produced butter fat at the least cost, as the following shows the onat nf huttar fat nor pouv,d.

MONROE CoNGRATULATEs TRUMBULL.
 Monroe congratulates Trumbull on the 'No license" vote of Monday. For years the old democratic town of Monroe has had a clean bill of health as regards the saloon ~busi- ness, but, we must say, that we have suf- fered greatly by our neighbors saloons, which are situated so near our border lines, north and south. Many of our peo- pie have gone to these places looking like good old Monroe folks, but when they came homeward, what a change; eyes shut and deep leaden hills encircling them, nose upset or downset, mouth un- fit for immediate use. Many times the subject is taken for ''stiff'' or corpse as he, wrapped in horse blanket,is convey ed through the town in that part of the wagon designed for country produce, ,etc. And then, the more quiet disposed resi- dents who enjoy at night the rest which comes with sleep, oft have been aroused by noises which sound most unearthly and hideous.

DEHoRNING.

Dehorning will not entirely take the sshen out of a bull. We have repeated this frequently. It doubtless makes them more respectful and less danger ous. Their chief weapons are gone and they know it and generally conduct themselves accordingly. But never push dehorned bull until he learns that he can do damage with his denuded head. Haaff, the original dehorner, has always uttered this warning. Neither is it safe to give a dehorned bull any chance whatever to work mis- chief. 0. B.
