DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS.
MankatO Voters will Hear Some of
the Best There are.

The Democratic-Populist fusion
will make a hot fight to carry Mime
sofa from now until the close of the
campaign, little over four weeks.
The best speakers in those two parties
will be poured into this state, and
Mankato will secure some of the best.
AS to Mr.. Bryan's movements, the
state committees know absolutely
nothing. He does his own booking,
and makes it point to give out his
exact dates to the national committee
not farther ahead than one week. He
has promised that he would come to
Minnesota, and this promise has been
made several times to as many differ
ent persons. Bryan himself seems to
be planning to come this way, for,
after his speech in Dubuque on Oct.
Sth, he goes to Sioux Falls for speech
on the 9th. The Minnesota state
committee looks for him in the twin
cities on the morning of the 10th. If
possible, he will be brought from
Sioux Falls over the Omaha road, and
stopped for short car platform talks
at the leading towns in southwestern
Minnesota, including Luverne, Worth
ington, Window. ST. James and Man.
kato. Mr.. Bryan will make three set
speeches in the state, one in Mime
apolis, one in ST. Paul, and the third
perhaps in Duluth, with short stop
at ST. Cloud on his way to Duluth
from the twin cities.
State Comm tteeman Zimmerman
believes that Bryan will make set
speech in this city, also, probably in
the afternoon at some point where a
large crowd can assemble.
Mr.. Zimmerman states that Sena-
tor Teller, of Colorado, will give sew
eral speeches in Minnesota, and that
one of these will be in Mankato.
Senator Pfeffer, of Kansas will de-
vote six days to Minnesota, and will
speak at Crookston, Fergus Falls, and
possibly Breckenridge. He will speak
in Southern Minnesota, at points not
yet determined, the state committee
hesitating between Mankato, Monte
video, Albert Lea, Window, Marshall
and one or two other places. Manka-
to will probably be one of the points.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, Wat
son, the Populist vice presidential
candidate, Debs and Sovereign are also
coming to Minnesota. 1t is pity
that Altgeld and Tillman are not also
coming.

THE Indianapolis Journal calls at
tention to the fact that the annual
report of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul Railroad Company contains
a comparative statement showing that
the average rate per ton, per mile,
received for freights, has fallen from
3 cents and Ga hundredths per mile, in
1867, to J and three-thousands cents
in 1896. In other words, present rates
are about one-fourth what they were
in 1867 Yet demagogues are telling
the people that freight rates are
much higher than they were twenty
five or thirty years ago, owing to the
characterization of silver. And there
is not farm product that has gone
down in price in anywhere near like
proportion.

TOWER AND GATES.
The Omaha Road Will Safeguard
Travel Over the Bridge.

Chief Engineer c. W. Johnson, of
the Omaha road, took the afternoon
train for St. Paul. Before going, he
authorized the statement that the
road has decided to erect tower and
put in gates at the point where the
track crosses the east approach to the
Minnesota river bridge. The gates
have already been ordered. and the
tower will be put up soon. A man
will be employed to attend the tower,
and the road will secure the safety of
the public at cost of 81, 900 a year.
The crossing at the bridge has
given the city officials much cause for
worry, and the determination of the
road to take care of the matter is in
line with the liberal policywhich it has
shown toward the city. With the tower
and bridge, there will be no danger of
accident, 'as the gates will close in
the tracks before train crosses.

A BROKEN RIB.
John riurray's Holdup by Two High
waymen--Nit.

A man named John Murray arrived
in the city Tuesday and applied to
County Commissioner Roberts for as
sistance. He had pain in his side,
and DR.. Warner found that it was due
to broken rib. Murray explained
his condition and his lack of money by
giving an account of hOldup near
Kasota yesterday. He told how two
big, burly highmen halted him and
pointed two murderous looking re-
volvers straight at his head. He told
of his brave resistance, how he Crap
pied with them, and how they as
saulted him and broke his rib.
Mr.. Roberts took this all in, and
then made an Investigation and found
that Murray was injured while trying
to steal ride on a freight train from
Kasota to- Mankato. He fell off while
under the influence of liquor, pre-
sumably, and received his injury. He
claimed to come from Duluth and that
his home is in the north of Ireland.
Mr.. Roberts will assist him on his
way back to Duluth, otherwise the
county would have to support him in
the hospital for about three weeks.
Murray is about thirty-fve years of
age

mine eyes ever fell upon. You should
have seen how, long after we had
started up the Rhine, and the whole
city had crouched down out of sight,
sprang right up into the air, clear
and glorious, those wonderful spires.
The castles are falling into ruins but
the wOndrOus cathedral set apart for
the worship of God is still fresh and
beautiful as a dream. So may this
church linger in this valley as an in
spiration and finger pointing man
up TO God. Like Jacobs gift may it
typify the holding of all your pros
perity for God. You have just begun.
You have given generously but God
has rewarded your faith by enabling
you to do it. Do not fear to trust God
with your prosperity. Remember the
poor, the great causes of benevolence,
the needs of this community in which
you have so large place. You ought
to lead this whole PreSbytery grandly
in all the enterprises which have to
do with building up the waste places
of the state and nation, / doubt not
you will.
Remember that, like Jacob, you are
under solemn vows. God did not for
get Bethel. Afterwards He said to
Isaiah, 81 am the God of Bethel,
where thou vowest." And God will
not forget your solemn vows. l hope
you will not.
1t has been a matter of the most
unalloyed pleasure to be with you
save for little sadness in seeing the
old church gone. | did not know
how much l loved it when l urged
you to go on to better things. | am
rejoicing to see the work prosper so
greatly in the hands of my successor.
May God fit him for his great respon-
sibility here. God grant that this
church may be very Bethel to way
faring, banished souls. Coming from
the old home dismantled only this
week, the pleasinguess of life is
powerfully impressed upon me. feel
that like Jacob the old home is shut
against me but before my eyes God
has kindled this beautiful dream.
May it be as a ladder let down out of
heaven-a type of that great ladder,
the son of man as He Himself told
Nathaniel afterwards Let US so live
that we may be privileged at the
last to pillow our heads on the divine
promises and to leave behind stone
erected, or better, life lived which
discouraged, sinful men seeing, may
take heart and press on again.

Wonderful Cures i'm WiscOnOin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My oldest
daughters case became SO alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One OF my neighbOrs recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family COM
menced taking it. In three days we
saw great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

DedicatOry Hymn.
LEE w. BEATTIE.

LEE w. BEATTIE.
Our Father God, to Thee we lift
Our hearts and lips in cheerful song.
We dedicate to Thy great name
This house for which we have waited lons
Jesus, our Savior friend, draw near,
And fill our souls with boundless love,
That in this house our praises may
Be tuned to join the choir above.
Great Spirit of our living Lord
Who lights the flame of Holy fire
In temple shrine, or human heart,
Fill us with Pentacostal fire.
Thy glory fills all lands and skies,
Thy throne on high resplendent stands,
Oh. may Thy face in beauty shine
Within this temple made with hands.
May sinners here their Savior find,
May saints within these walls delight,
And all in one, and one in God,
Bespeak Thy love and truth and might.
In all our praises and our prayers,
MAY incense sweet to Thee arise,
The truth in Jesus here be preached,
Till we ascend beyond the skies.
And now, o Lord, while here we dwell,
More of Thy hidden truth reveal,
That we may grow to larger faith,
And man for man more love shall feel.
Till all thy temples here below
Shall each to each unite in love,
And thus, while here we dwell, foretaste
The unity of heaven above.

~, feel respondent, as soon die as live,
as you feel, your trouble is RECTAL
ULCER, which is the immediate
cause of Fissu1e, Fistula, Polypus,
and Structure and Consumption.
What is Rupture?
In every human being there are two
openings one on each side of the lower
parus of the abdomen called ''Inguinal
Rings" through which passes the
Spermatic Cords or Fallopian Tubes.
and are formed by the muscles and
ligaments. Whenthey tit close around
the cord it is an impossibility for any
one to have Rupture. But when,
from any cause, these muscles become
relaxed from and the opening too large
all that prevents the intestineS from
coming out is the lining membrane or
peritoneum, and severe strain, cough
or sneeze will force them out, when it
is called Inguinal hernia, and if it fol-
lows the cord down into the scrotum,
it is called scrotal hernia. There it
will be seen there is nothing torn or
rent, but simply relaxed muscles and
a strained membrane.
Our theory of cure is to retain the
membrane and intestines with the alb
dOminal cavity and develop the mus
cles to their normal condition, there
by closing the ''rings" and making
making permanent cure.
This we accomplish by the use of
Dr. BARDWELL'S BAR LOCK

INVIGORATOR, applied externally.

A BRILLIANT FINALE.
Such was the Reception at the Pres
byterian Church

The reception at the Presbyterian
hcurch Monday was a delightful
affair and fitting close to the dedica-
tory services of the church. The for
mer and present pastors had fine OPP
pOrtunlty TO meet with the
congregation. The trustees and
elders with their wives were a
receiving committee. The male
quartette, Messrs. Price, Scudder,
Burgesssand Pettis, sang a number of
selections which were most artistic
ally rendered and heartily appre-
ciated, as was shown by many num-
bers being enchored. The entire
arrangements were under the direc-
tion of the young married ladies of the
church with Mrs. w. W. Davis as
chairman. They had decorated the
church parlors and auditorium most
beautifully, the entire building be-
ing lighted and opened to those pres
ent. The scene presented a most
hospitable appearance and made all
feel in good mood. The refreshments
prepared by the same corps of ladies
were served in the banquet room from
twelve tables, that were furnished
with most delicate chinaware, and
Ornamented with tastefully arranged
flowers, sweet peas predominating. A
button-hole bouquet was presented at
the tables to each guest. Over $50
people sat down to the tables.
The one repeated regret was
that to the pastor that Mrs.
Beattie was prevented by illness
from being present and sharing with
her beloved the joy of the hour in
seeing this great work for which he
has spared neithe pains, time or
money in seeing commemorated.
This closes these most delightful
dedicatory services upon which the
righteousness of Gods sunshine has
poured with the rich promise of a
most useful future in lives of
Christian work in our city.

CONGRESSMAN TOWNE has sued the
ST. Paul Dispatch for $4,000 for stat
ing that he was in the pay of the
silver barons and owned silver mining
stock. The Dispatch has offered to
pay all the expenses of the suit and
have it tried so that the result may be
announced before Oct. 18th. If Mr..
Towne has good case he ought to be
willing to accept this offer, but the
Duluth Neaos- Tribune says his friends
say it is merely a game of bluff. Why
don't they proceed to call the Dispatch
down then, by accepting the offer.
That would be the business way.

THE great political ability of Mark

several things to get used to, not the
least an overwhelming defeat by Con-

The bulbs multiply exceedingly
fast and as soon as a start is
made in this state it will be
very easy to secure a supply
sufficient to plant many thous
and acres.
An acre of ramie yields about
800 pounds at a cutting, and
full three cuttings can he made
in Texas a year, making an
average yield 1900 pounds.
With careful cultivation five
crops a year have been secured
from this wonderful plant.
Both the plant and tie fabrics
made of its fiber repel the at
tacks of insects. It's luXuriance
discourages weeds and lightens
the labor of tillage.
Among the widely diversified
products made Of ramie are
ropes and cables that exceed
the strength of MANILA hemp;
table cloths that excel the gloss
of Irish linen; lace that equals
the delicacy Of cotton and sur
passes its durability; plush
that rivals the luster of seal
skin; qelvets. damasks and
brocades whose exquisite finish
emharrasses a further advance
ment in nitile art. Ramie is
combined with cotton, lin
en-, wool and silk, and it
always : adds to the mixed
texture an element Of greater
usefulness of beauty. In hand
kerchiefs, cravafs and hosiery,
in cambrics camlets and shawls,
in aIpacas, carpets and drap-
erie, it is, with the possible
exception of silk, superior tc
the fibers with which it is in
terwoven.
The fiber of ramie is not the
sole source ofprofit. The leaves

REprRLICANs SPLIT.

New Orleans, Feb. 22.-There is a
split in the regular republican party
in the second congressional district
and two conventions were held to-
day The Reed men met in Long
sboreman's Hall in this city, and
elected Judge Morris Marks, of New
Orleans and Lucien Como, of s
5ames Parish delegates to the St
