WHY Not One as Well as the Other

If the Government can carry let
ter across the continent for two
cents, why cannot it send a teie-
graphic message correspondlngly
cheapl If the Government can
build and manage a navy, why can
not it build and operate railroads
If the Government can run the
Treasury Department, Why cannot IL
run TIE banks? If the Government
can maintain an army of soldiers IN
idleness, why cannot it support an
army of laborers at some useful oc-
cupationl Ii the Government can
serve the people at less cost than
private corporations Why does not 1t
do 80. -Boston Investigator,

insured for $50 and the stock was ln-
sured fo1 S1.25G, both policies in the

Piedmont was the scene Wednesday
of an unprecedented event and a very
decided sensation. The town IS
blessed with several lively boys who
have at various times earned substan-
tial compensation by the distribution
in the town Of free samples Of various

distribute them zealous!y and con-
scientiously, one pair to each family.

James w. Davidson, of Austin,
this state, who accompanied the
Peary expedition in it's search for the
pole, will lecture in the Mankato
theatre on Wednesday evening, No
vember 18th, on his Experiences
Near the North Pole" He was the
youngest member of the party, and
during the polar trip had some very
thrilling experience, which he re-
lates in a most interesting manner.
Our readers will probably recall a
number of interviews which appeared
in the metropolitan papers at the
time of his return early in the fall,
which gave an outline of the expert
ences they passed through. His per-
sonal account will enter more thor
oughly into the details of the trip,
and not only prove of much interest,
but will be instructive as well.

THE STRANGE ANIMAL.

behind the fins while the hind
legs are about three inches from the
tail. The under side of the fiat body
is of a delicate pink, which deepens
considerably near the head.
But the most remarkable thing
about the animal is the gills, which
are in no way like those of fish, and
are in different position. They are
of a deep, red color and resemble a
bunch of feathers-the very essence
of natures delicacy of composition,
which unfold like the leaves of a
flower as the animal ''gets its wind"
The animal is not fish; it GER
tainly cannot be called snake and
the gills preclude the thought of a
lizard; what, then, is it? TheManka-
to naturalists have here a genuine
object lesson.

The City Attorney is resting on his

about dozen letters to the neighbOr-
ing city attorneys, and as soon as
answers are received he will bring
the matter before the city council for
definite action. This/he hopes to do
at the next regular meeting.
1t will be well for the business men,
now that actual campaigning has
been commenced, to talk the matter
up among themselves, and reach if
possible in the allotted time, def
mite understanding as to what would
be best suited to the wants of the
smaller cities.
The questions that are para
mount just now, is the maintenance
of a board of public works, the one
man power and to more liberal allow
ances in regard to police.
1t is suggested as proper topic for
discussion at a future meeting of the

The Oregon-Vermont Pilgrim Goes to
MapletOn.

Bishop Ash, the old gentleman who
two weeks ago arrived in the city with
his team and wagon from trip
across the continent, yesterday called
at Lamm & Merchants drug store
and stated that he had been i'll and
was going to Mapleton to see his
niece and ascertain, if possible, if he
could not be cared for there. 1t is
understood that he has been stopping
with Wesley Fuller, of West Man
kato, who, he said. was an old friend.
The old man has been so feeble and
has seen so much hard luck that he is
broken down in health and spirits,
and the kind treatment he received in
Mankato was too much for him. Rob
Lamm says his offer to MIR. Ash to GO
on the road for the firm at salary is
open to him at any time.
