LOOKING WESTW ARD.

1t is said that the effort which is be-
ing made to force the Democratic
party over to free silver, is having the
effect of turning the attention Of a
great many Republican leaders to
Senator Allison, of Iowa, as one of the
most available men for the Republi-
cans TO nominate for the presidency
next year. One of the reasons for this
is that Mr.. Allison is western man.,
and another is because of his cOnserva-
tive views upon the tariff and money
questions. The Washington Post in
discussing the matter as it is pre-
Sented there comments as follows,
though it's conclusions as to Reed and
Mckinley will not meet the views of
thousands of Republicans:
1t is very easy to appreciate the rea-
soning upon which this conclusion is
reached. In the first place Reed will
be eliminated because he is too far
East, and the Republican party will
find it very impolitic to take man
from the extreme East when the
Democrats have chosen a Western
man to head the ticket. In the pres
ent condition of public feeling in the
West, Mr.. Reed can have little to hope
from that section. AS for Mr.. Nc
Kinley he is not regarded as being in
the race for the reason that, although
he is Western man, his name has be-
come synonymous with all that is ex-
IRENE in the doctrine of high tariff.
If, in addition to this, he is antag-
onistic to silver, it is hardly likely
that his party will select him as their
standard bearer.
Allison, on the other hand, is said
to be the most available man to place
in opposition to the tactics which the
Democrats now seem likely to employ.
He is known not to be an extremist
upon the tariff question. He is for
protection, but he is anxious to regard
the interests of the farmer as we'll as
of the manufacturer. Upon the money
question he occupies an equally envi-
able position. He is conservative and
safe, bimetallist in the true sense of
the term. He is also Western man.
He would, it is said, receive the votes
of those Democrats who will break
from their party as soon as free silver
made the issues. These votes would
not go to Mckinley, for the latter is
as red flag in the face of bull to
the tariff reform element of the Demo
cratic party. 1t is considered as more
than likely that Allison would get
enough Democratic votes to offset the
Republican votes which would be cast
in the far West for silver Demo-
cratic candidate.

UNTIL ANOTHER YEAR.
The Proposed New Hotel is Delayed
For a Time.

Some time ago we stated that the
Minneopa House corner had changed
hands, and that it was probable that
a new hotel might be erected on the
property. At that time it looked as
though this might be the case, but
developments have occurred which
will delay the building for year.
The Chicago parties who were to fur
nish part of the capital found that
they could not lay their hands on the
money that they had thought they
could, as their investments are such
that they cannot convert them into
cash this spring.
This being the case, we understand
that the plan for erecting the pro-
posed hotel has been laid aside for the
present. But, from what is considered
reliable authority, we have it that
the hotel will be 60 the first thing
next spring.
We understand that the old Min
neopa House will be rented for hotel
purposes as soon as possible after Miss
Ellefson moves into her new quarters.

such condition we are suffering
today.
Mr.. w d. Willard opened the dis
cussion. He said he agreed with
almost Tall of the statements of the
paper, and merely wished to empha-
size some of the points made therein.
He enlarged upon few points which
time prevented Mr.. Stout from more
fully discussing, and showed the ne
cessity of sound money system-a
money which would be taken by
everyone without hesitation. When
one commences to hesitate to accept
any kind of money, it may be set
down that something is the matter
with it-that it is poor money, and
the greater the hesitation the poorer
the money. He discussed to some eX-
tent the effect of the money supply
on trade, and went into the question
historically, showing the effect of the
short supply in the middle ages, also
the suffering resulting from the rapid
increase in the supply on the opening
of the American mines, caused by the
effect upon prices.
A number of the members entered
into the discussion of various phases
of the paper, and several interesting
points were touched upon.
At the next meeting, Tuesday
evening, April 80, Prof. U. O. Cox
will read the second paper on Money"
dealing largely with the monetary
systems of the various leading nations
of the world.

TRAr1PS DISCHARGED.

The three tramps arrested Satur-
day afternoon on the charge of rob-

The complaining witness, Peterson,
did not appear, and as there was no
other evidence to hold them on this
charge they were discharged, on
motion of County Attorney Bene-

severe talking to and ordered them
to leave the city before night, which
they agreed to do.
Nyquist & Iverson did not care to
prosecute them for attempted break

leave the city.
S. s. Smith Swallowed the parties
during the forenoon, to see whether
they would produce more money than
they seemed to have. Two went to a
saloon while one went back to the
camping ground, and was lost to sight

Rich Red Blood

In the body of an adult person there are
about IS pounds of blood.
The blood has as it's most important ele-
ments, small round corpuscles, red and
white, in proportion of about 800 red to 1
white one.
II the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary to sustain the health
and nerve strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, or others of the long
train of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in
a reliable blood medicine like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which acts upon the red cor
puscles, enriching them and increasing
their number. 1t thus restores the vital
fluid to healthy condition, expels all i'm
purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel
ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising
from or promoted by low state of the blood.
That these statements are true we prove
not by our own statements, but by what
thousands of perfectly reliable people say
about Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the testi-
monial in the next column from beloved

ANSWERED THE SUMMONS.
Death Takes Away c. M. Green at
Los Angeles, Cal

Word has been received of the death
at Los Angeles, Cal of Hon c. NJ.
Green, whose home is in the town of
Shelby. The remains are expected co

in Minnesota in 1867. He engaged in
farming and afterwards added to this
occupation the business of miller,

Quoted farm and mill. His farm is
near the old town of Vernon. In 1886
he was elected member of the lower
house Of the state legislature, and
served in that capacity during the
following year, representing his
county well. He leaves sister, Mrs.
Morgan Berry.
The deceased was highly respected
by all who knew him and his death in
the prime of life will cause sadness in
many households throughout the
county. Mr.. Green was stricken with
consumption, and last winter went
to California in the hope
of securing relief. In this it appears
that he failed. He was high in the
Masonic order, and was member of
the Amboy lodge of Odd Fellows.

nomination would be settled by the atti- tude adopted with regard to these doc trincs, some believing that if Dr. Briggs were upheld disintegration would be the ultimate result, while others contended, and quite as firmly, that destruction must follow if he were not supported In such case. said the latter class, the doctors followers would be certain to organize a church of their own, founded upon the liberal teachings which he has put forth, and as the new church would be made up of the younger, more pro gressive element it would very shortly outstrip the older, more conservative organization, whose days of dechnation would then be definitely numbered
 We'll, Dr. Briggs was not sustained, but nevertheless, and ill spite of the fact that his adherents were and still are very numerous, the Presbyterian church Is yet to all intents and purposes as strong as it ever was, if not even Stron- ger.
 The Presbyterian faith and form of church government obtained foothold in America along with the earliest settlers on this side from Scotland, England and France. Early ill the seventeenth cen tury indeed there were Presbyterian churches in the colonies, but the first preSbytery was not formed until 1106. Ten years later the general synod, com posed of four presbyterieS, was organ ized. and in 17SS, 2O7 years ago. the synod of New York and Philadelphia adopted the constitution of the general assembly. thus completing the organiza- ton of the denomination. It Is q rather interesting fact with regard to Prcsby tcrianiSm that ill its earlier life ill the | old world this church stood generally for freedom, especially in Scotland and Switzerland, whereas, from n dOctrinal standpoint, the Presbyterian church is | today the straitest laced of all the evan gelical denominations
 There is a certain miStinCSS about the parly history of the Presbyterian church in America. though it seems to be pretty generally agreed that its first church Or- ganizatiunS ill the colonies were form ed ill eastern Maryland. along the banks of the Pocomoke. The churches were few and struggling. however. and gave little hint of the truly noble proportions | to which the denomination was to attain ill the new world. It was about 1854 | that the first two were organized at Snow Hill and Rehoboth, the Rev. l Francis MakemC, the much vencrated | Presbyterian missionary, being their founder. He was undoubtedly the first Presbyterian minister in America, and it is no great stretch of terms to speak of him as tho father of Presbyterianism in the United States.
 He vas a man not only of eminent piety, but also of notable intellectual strength and attainmentS. He was ma
 tive of Ireland and was educated in one
 of the Scotch universities. He became
