THINGS YET TO BE.

Some say this world is an old, old world.
But it's always been new to me;
With its boundless range Of ceaseless change
And hope Of things to be.
A new friend takes my hand
When the old ones pass away;
The old days die, but the light in the sky
is the dawn Of another day.
Some say this world is cold, cold world,
But it's always been bright TO me:
With its hearthstone fires and warm desires
For the things that are yet to be-
And il l must labor, wait,
And trust to the fields have sown;
For know there is truth in the promise OF
youth
/ will some time come to my own.
Some say this world is a sad sad world,
But it's always been glad to me;
it quans
And feasts on the things to be.
The night comes on with its rest;
The morning comes on with its sing;
The hours of grief are few and brief,
But joy is a whole life long.
Some say this world is bad, bad world,
But it's always been good to me;
With its errors there live dear hearts that for
give
And hope for the things to be.
This world is not old or cold
This wor Id is not sad or bad
II you look to the right. forgetting the night,
And say to your soul: BE glad

PEAT AS FUEL.
The Extent to Which 1t Is Used In Euro
pean Countries.

The Extent to Which 1t Is Used In Euro
pean Countries.
In Friesland and other parts of Hol-
land the "black turf is made into fuel
for brick kilns, litter for stables, and
mould for mixing with sewage. Some
of it is exported to Bremen, Bruins
wick and Belgium, and it is stated that
2S0 900 tons of the fuel, worth e133, 900,
are annually consumed throughout the
Netherlands. The Dutch canals facili-
tate the transport of the peat, and, as
the subsoil of the moors is always cult
waited after the peat is lifted, the
barges that take away the peat bring
back manure for the ground. At Gro
ningen for instance, all the sewage of
the city is applied to the reclamation
of the surrounding turf moors.
In Denmark, where there is no great
supply of peat, it is chiefly used by the
peasants as fuel, or as bedding in the
dairy farms. In Sweden, on the con-
trary, there are bogs extending for
hundreds of square miles, and of late
years over 600 900 acres of the moor
land have been brought under the
pillow. The peat is prepared as fuel,
and largely consumed in making iron,
glass, or brick, either alone or mixed
with coal and fir cones. In southern
Sweden there are factories solely en-
gagged in manufacturing peat fuel for
sale, as its use is steadily increasing,
and some 10000 tons year are en-
ployed in metallurgical operations.
Insouthern and cen trail Sweden there
are some twenty factories for prepar-
ing peat-litter and mould, each factory
turning out from $4,000 to 80, 900 bales
year, fetching about Is. piece. The
mould is used for gardening in Sweden
while stuffing for mattresses or furni.
ture, and surgical bandages are made
from the white moss of the moors. In
France the peat is moulded into
"briquettes" with tar and resin, leased
into litter or woven into fabrics, which
are used in the army its barracks and
hospitals, as blankets, mattresses and
saddle cloths, or for stuffing cofferdams
and certain parts of neutrality-suspicious.

THE FORT RIDGLEY SHAFT.
Commissioners Decide on a Granite Monu-
ment Forty-two Feet High.
It Will Commemorate Notable Incident
Of the Indian War.
Names Of Defenders of Helpless Women to
be Engraven in Enduring Bronze

The style of the monument which is
to mark the old Ft. Ridgley grounds has
been decided upon and it will indeed be
an imposing one.
The commission met at st. Paul on
Tuesday at the office Of Judge Flendrau.
There were present Judge Flandrau, Col
T. J. Sheehan, B. H. Randall, A. A.
Stone and G. H. Hopkins. The meeting
was called for the purpose Of letting the
contract for the monument provided for
by the action of the last legislature.
Bids were received from the P. N. Pc
terson Granite Co, George Griggs and
A. F. knight of st. Paul; Badger Bros.
and J. M. Sullivan ot Minneapolis
Charles G. Blake and George H. Nit
chell of Chicago; B. F. Day of Leroy,
Mimi; the American Granite Co. of
Barre, VT; Henry Bonnard Bronze Co.
of New York, and others. After care
fully considering the designs and the
figures, the commission decided to award
the contract to the P. N. Peterson Gran.
ite Co. of 104 East Fifth street, fol-
$4,000.
The design submitted by this company
shows shaft of alternate blocks OF
rough and dressed stones, surmounted by
huge ball, and standing On a base twelve
feet square. The whole is forty-two and
a half feet high.
Minnesota granite will be the material
used. At the corners of the base are Or
namental pillars and on each face IS tc
he bronze tablet, each containing a
suitable inscription, including the names
of the garrison and other defenders of the
fort. On one will be q design represent
ing the fort as it appeared at the time OF
the siege and defense. On one side OF
the shaft proper will be bas relief OF
Col. T. J. Sheehan. who on the night OF
Aug. IS, 1862, made a forced march OF
forty-two miles in nine and three-quar-
ter hours, with fifty men of Company B
Fifth Minnesota infantry, to the rescue OF
the garrison Of twenty-five men and the
three hundred women and children who
had taken refuge in the fort. When Col
Sheehan entered Ridgley Little Crow and
six hundred Indian warriors were only a
mile and q half away.
In addition to this bas relief, there will
be other ornaments il bronze, including
the great seal Of Minnesota. Work will
begin in the near future and the founda-
tion will be put in this fall. The monu-
mcnt will probably not be set until Il, xt
spring. The commission feel that they
secure by this contract the finest and
most elaborate monument ever erected il
the state.
This IS the fourth monument in com
memoration of battles with the Indians
that the Peterson Granite Co. has secured
III succession, the others being those erec
ted at Camp Release, Birch Coulie and
Spirit Lake, Iowa.

ICleary. Frank Day, Of Fairmont, and
a. J. Miller, Of LuVerne, will be left ont
of the congressional eckoning, if the
Morning News can manage the matter.
McC Cleary's stand for sound money will
be worked for all it is worth against
Days pronounced free silver views. Nc
Cleary's scholarship and his standing as
q financial authority will be exploited
against Miller's country schooling and
provincial journalism. And as sort Of
winning auxiliary to those considerations
Congressman McC Cleary will continue his
specific and congenial work of ofinterviews
ing parents and comp plimenting scholars
and teachers on their school work. For
a quiet, unpretentiou man McC Cleary IS
said to be as clever as any politician that
ever set foot in the state. His latest
move, IN securing control of daily news
paper in the Second district, is intended
as a kind of flank movement against T.:
r. Hunt and the men who might be dis
posed to turn him down in the next con-
vention. HUNT and McC Cleary have not
broken, but the congressman understands
that he cannot expect any particular
support from the Mankato editor in fa-
vor of a third nomination. Therefore
he wants paper that will hoe his row
and take care to furnish plenty Of excu-
ses for third term. It matters little
that Carl Eastwood was a good Demo-
crat in Iowa. and as enthusiastic for free
trade as McCleary was originally. Carl
has been running republican paper at
Worthington for some time back; and
his ability commended itself to McClea-
ry and his friends SO strongly that they
are convinced he will be able to hold
Hunt and Day and Miller, and some 9TH
ers, level in the congressional fight that
is imminent.

49,
W. r. Hodges, the Populist editor of
Sleepy Eye, said: '.The Populist party in
Southwestern Minnesota is going into the
free silver movement almost if not quite
enmasse, Notwithstanding the opposition
of Ignatius Donnelly. I have seen Long,
state lecturer of the Farmers 4 lliance,
and Mr.. Mellicke, another lea !er, within
short time. Both are strong advocates
of this course, and have no doubt their
views will prevail in the Populist state
convention when it meets to consider the
question. There willprobably be lively
scrap over the matter. There is move
ment on foot to make John Lind the free
silver candidate for congress. Overtures
have already been made to him. IF he
accepts, the Populists and Democrats
will 1ndorse him. Y ST. Paul Globe.
Whatever truth there may be to Mr..
Hodges statement that the Populistio
Party would go over to the free silver
movement, we do not know, but as to
Mr.. Lind ever becoming a congressional
candidate with a Populistic nomination
and Democratic endorsement, denial is
easy. Mr.. Lind is not looking for off
ces of any kind, and be certainly is not
considering the acceptance of a nomina-
ticn from Populists and Democrats. He
is free silver man, to be sure, but he is
also Republican, and it would be we'll
for his admirers to remember this.
