A prominent church-going citizen
suggests that the common council
provide street light in front of the
| Baptist and other churches of the
city not already so provided. One is
especially needed at the Baptist
church, and the suggestion seems
worthy of consideration by the city
fathers.
The constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
The constant gnaW of Towser
Masticates the toughest bone.
The constant c0Oing lover
Carries off the blushing maid;
And the constant advertiser
/ Is the one who gets the trade.

materially. The citizens of Mayville,
where the Normal school is located,
have also held mass meeting and
decided that the school shall not
close. At another mass meeting
So, 600 was raised, and it is expected

The legislatures of different states
have gone into new fields of legisla-
tion this spring. In New York whip
ping post law for wife beaters was con-
sidered but defeated. In North Dakota
a law passed to abolish grand juries
as absolete. One good law was adopt
ed in New York, and that was one
prohibiting the use of any foreign
flag ON public buildings. The patrio-
tism of the people ought to have made
such law unnecessary, but as it did
not, the law is a good one. The
American flag ought to be good enough
for citizens of America, whether ma
tive or foreign born, and it is up in
this part of the country.
Miss Amelia Tesch, who lives near
Alma City, after nine days treatment
for persistent hiccough by Waseca
physicians, was taken to Minnesota
Lake some days ago and placed under
the care of a doctor. The trouble
commenced on the first day of Feb
ruary. The disease had gained such
force, that for time it withstood
the most active treatment, and the
case was very distressing to witness,
as every convulsion seemed to cause
the patient great pain. Notwith-
standing this, Miss Tesch exhibited
great patience and fortitude. The
disease was finally checked, and there
has been no return of the trouble.
The case is peculiar one.
The legislature of North Dakota
made ample provision for all the
educational institutions of the state,
but after it had adjourned the COVER
nor found that there was not enough
money in the treasury to go around.
He then apportioned what was neces-
sary to the prison, insane asylum, ETC.,
and just enough to the educational
institutions to keep them in repair.
AS there was no money to pay the in
structors, it was decided to close
them. The university is located at
Grand Forks, and among the profess
sors is A. f. Bechdolt, formerly of
this city. A mass meeting of the
citizens was held last Tuesday and it
was decided to undertake the work
of raising funds to keep the state uni
versity open for the next two years.
A committee of leading citizens was
appointed to effect plans and carry on
the work. b-cOmmittees will be
appointed in every county, and funds
will be raised on the certificate plan,
in hopes that the legislature in the
future may reimburse contributors.
The committee will try to raise
