s. r. Arthur, the insurance agent,
brought up $1,000 check to-day in

Mueller, deceased.
A bill has been introduced in the State
legislature compelling peddlers and
transient merchants to pay state license
and also license of five dollars per day
to the CITY or village in which they try
to do business.
In the Sleepy Eye Herald, Commits
sioner Raverty is reported as saying that
while most of his neighbors have been
burning their straw. he has saved his and
fed most of his horses and cattle on it
up to this time. During the mild wealth
er he believes straw to be equally good
fodder for both horses and cattle and at
the same time great saving of expense.
BE is feeding hay and grain to mich
COWS and straw to the horses and cattle
that do not produce anything, and in the
end he is the gamer. This is one of the
many schemes to which the farmer must
resort in order to overcome the low
prices for the leading products of the
farm.

The fame IF the little, old-fashioned
Teutonic borough of New Ulm, Mime
sofa, has hitherto rested chiefly upon its
stubborn and heroic resistance to the
bloody Sioux, back in 1862. Those were
frontier days, however, and the valorous
deeds of that time are mere memories
now. To-day New Ulm is right in the
centre of our modern civilization, and
instead of fighting abor1gines, its deni-
zens, after the fashion of the day, wage
relentless warfare against the corpora
tons, "those great foes of the liberties
of the people," And, though the New
Ulmers may strike but few blows, when
they do strike they hit exceeding hard
Thus, only last week, a jury of ''twelve
good men and true" in New Ulm awar.

Telegraph Company of $40, 900 for trans

terson, of Minnesota, about two years
ago, which contained merely the words
"Slippery Sam, your name is pants" L
will at once strike every one that the mo-
deration of the jury in awarding so small
a sum for so gross libel was mos
praiseworthy. The query will also pre-
sent itself to the thoughtful readers
wherein dio the chief libel consist! Was
it in the seductive, alliterative phrase
"Slippery SAM" or in the shameless
statement "your name is pants?" The
otfense in both cases is so grievous that
it is difficult to say which is the worse.
1t is rather funny, moreover, to think of
a corporation like the Western Union be-
ing mulcted $4,000 for the indiscretion
Of allowing itself to be made the medi-
UNI for calling an honest legislator a
slippery individual. The Western Uni
on ought to know that members oflegis-
lative bodies in this country are as much
above suspicion as Caesars wife, and,
above all, that their names arenot"pants.' -
The company ought to congratulate it,
self upon the smallness of the verdict,
and henceforth notify its patrons that
they will not be allowed to call anyone
"pants'' by telegraph, unless they first
deposit $4,000 as guarantee that the
respective individuals name is actually
"Pants." Flown Topics, N.
