photographer, both amateur and profess
sional AS London Photographic maya
zine remarked recently: "California is
without doubt the paradise of the photog-
rapher."
The branches OF photography usually
practiced by the amateur may be broadly
divided into four:
1. Portraiture.
2. View work
3. Architecture.
d. Genre studies.
The first of these classes is hardly ever
taken up by the amateur with any degree
of success. There are far too many reaui-
sites III the shape of posing. even distribu-
ton of light. avoidance of shadow and
other matters of detail, small in them
selves, but which, nevertheless, tend to
produce finished, artistic and profes-
sional-looking picture.s Then, again, there
is the important matter of retouching, tor
every portrait negative plate must be re-
touched, be the original the possessor of
never so fine complexion. And retouch-
ing is expensive, ranging in price from Is
cents to 81 per negative, and of course in
many instances this item is quite prohibit
tive.
The second branch of amateur photog-
raphy, view work, is by far the most popu-
lar for many reasons. The photography
of landscape pictures calls for but the
smallest possible amount of Judgment in
the matter of timing. Thus the consider
able element of uncertainty which exists
in the studio is to a great extent elimi-
mated. There is, BESIDES a great fascina-
ton in transferring to paper mountain,
valley and rustic scenery, and, with the
exercise of little judgment, the enthu-
siastic amateur may possess himself of
pictures which form valuable souvenirs of
jolly outings, and which are a never
failing source of delight to himself and his
friends If he tire of preserving his ''prints"
in album form he may, by the use of trans
parent gelatine plates, convert his mega
tives into stereopticon slides at small cost,
and thus provide many an evenings amuse-
ment for his family circle.
Architectural photography is largely
patronized by the amateur ON his travels.
Indeed, it may be regarded as automatic
that the travelling man, be he humble
drummer or millionaire tourist, who fails

fully last Tuesday evening, and the
committee think it we'll to make a
brief report of what has been done by
them during the winter.
The object with which these enter

q pleasant evening to our people at
such a price that everybody and all
their children might be able to enjoy
them. The entrance fee was the
nominal sum of five cents, and yet so
popular did these entertainments be-
come, that after paying for the hall
and other incidental expenses, there
remained small sum each time,
which formed fund for the relief OF
those in great need during the cold
weather of these hard times.

chinch- bugs found late in 1894. Yet
Notwithstanding these favorable con-
diti ns for the existence of these
bugs, farmers lost, comparatively
speaking, but little on their account,
simply because the earlier cereals,
such as barley, wheat, rye, and even
oats, matured much sooner than usual,
and thus became unfit for their food.
After injuring to some extent the
corn, or causing in some cases total
loss of that important crop. and after
destroying such grasses as the differ
ent kinds of pigeon grasses, to the
latter of which they were decidedly
welcome, the chinch-bugs moved
about in search for suitable shelters
under which to pass the winter. A
large number of such shelters have
been investigated in various parts Of
the infested regions, and almost in
variably with the same results; i'm

found snugly hidden, ready to COM

and only in some localities a disease
is silently at work reducing their
numbers. Diseased bugs were found
in their winter quarters Only in regions
where disease had been spread arti-
ficially in 1894; not g single diseased
bug had been found elsewhere.

PETER SMITH DEAD.
He Passes Away In California
Sketch of his Career.

Peter Smith, ex-msyor of the city
of Redwood Falls, and for 10 years q
resident of this city, died at Moreno,
CAL. of consumption, last Wednesday
evening. His family was present at
the death bed. He was So years Of
age and at the time of his death Was
q director in the Alexander Irrigation
Co., of Moreno. The funeral occurred
at Moreno on last Friday.
Peter Smith was born on q farm in
London, Canada, and was one of. "a
family of seven children, the other six
of which survive him. He worked on
the farm and attended school until he
was ID years of age when he came
with his parents to Dakota county,
Mimi, where they lived two years, land
with them he then moved to LeSueur
county. Here they lived seven years,
his elder brothers enlisting in the
Union army while Peter attended to
active farming duties. In 1866 he
went to St. Paul and attended school
in that town for two years, returning
to LeSueur, where he remained for a
year, when he went to Rice county
and purchased a farm near Mortified.
He remained there until Is years ago
when he came to Redwood Falls and
purchased the lots now owned
by Asa Perkins on the corner of JEFF
ferson and Wyoming streets. While
here he bought and sold horses, owned
several farming tracts, and was sue
cessful in all of his financial dealings.

time.

A SEVERE WINTER.
The Cause of Suffering and Ar
Increase of Disease,

This winter has been the most Sc
we're for many years. North, south,
east aud west intense cold and biz
yards have prevailed. This will sure
" cause a great deal of sickness and
death. Chronic catarrh and con-
sumption always begins by catching
cold. Thousands have started on the
road toward lifetime of misery from
chronic catarrh or a sure death from
consumption. It is not too late yet
to be saved and restored to life of
health and activity. Pe-ru-na will do
it. It never fails to quickly cure
chronic catarrh less than two years
old. Of course Pe-ru-na cures thous-
ands and thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh that have run for many years;
but in cases that are of more recent
origin it cures, quickly, certainly and
permanently. Every case of cold or
cough that has resulted from the eff
fects of our severe winter could now
be cured in a short time by Pe-ru-na.
Not single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who de-
sire the advice of DR.. Hartman about
their cases should write, giving age,
sex, disease and time of sickness, and
he will answer free. A few weeks
treatment now will prevent years of
suffering, and in many cases death.

ways prepared for the enemy and to
apply remedies in time and not wait
until too late.
The cause for this rapid increase in
their numbers was evidently the ex-
ceedingly dry and warm season of
1894. Even the oldest inhabitant of
the State does not recollect season
like the past one, which is singular
fact considering how apt some wise
acres are to recollect things-in imag-
nation. In many portions OF the
State rain fell at only very rare inter-
walls and dew was almost unknown. If
it had not been for the frost in Nav,
following very warm and moist wealth
er, which forced the roots of cereals to
penetrate deep in a soil warmer than
the air, damages by the drouth would
have been still greater. It was really
surprising that plants could grow at
all during such season. The dry
and warm conditions of soil and air
are just the conditions chinch-bugs
require to thrive and to multiply, and
from the few bugs found here and
there in isolated localities sprung the

TEACHERS. ASSOCIATION.

The regular monthly session of the
Redwood County Teachers Associa-
ton met in the High School room on
Saturday with about forty teachers
present. The topic of arithmetic was
we'll illustrated with pupils from the
third, fourth and fifth grades of the
city schools. Miss Frances Everett's
pupils astonished the teachers with
the rapidity of oral work executed.
Miss Wyman's and Miss Turre'l's pu-
pills did more laborious work with the
crayon and illustrated some higher
text book principles. The discussion
by the teachers as to whether We
should multiply TT by 9 or 8 by III,
was spirited and amusing. Some good
points were noticed by the teachers.
For instance, the pupils always gave
the correct solutions. They we're gen.
orally correct in the results. They
seemed to know the principles in
volved.
The topic OF Moral Training in
School Management under the leader
ship Of Nj. Torrens was very interest
ing. Some good points were scored,
viz: "Wrong is wrong whether II be
acted by child or q man" Accom-
ing good act is not. good If q sinister
design be in the hesst, 81. the door, ev-

every act of the soul tends to
strengthen the soul in that direction,
be it good or evil" Character is de-
veloped good and bad by right and
wrong motives. Example surgeon
performs an operation, the result is
death. A murderer performs an act,
the result IL the same, but the motive
OF each is different. Owing to the
lateness of the hour the lesson in lit
erature was postponed and Supt. Race
