The New York Recorders head
is mighty level when it replies; to
the Democratic charge Of Repub,
licsn extravaganza in the river and
harbor bill by saying, point blank,
that the Democratic orators in
congress are making great ado
over the fact that the appropria-
tions for the improvements Of
our rivers and. harbors have
mounted up from about $50, 900 in
1878 to eight times as much in
1896. This country grown a good
deal in the last twenty years, and
the Democratic party has not been
able to keep up with it. The
people are much more willing to
see large appropriations made to
improve their own rivers and
harbors, and thus expand their
own trade and commerce, than
they are to see them made for the
purpose Of paying annual interest
to foreign bond holders on money
borrowed to make good Democratic
defciencies.-St. Paul Dispatch.

a Pioneer Press reporter, What

are your plans in relation to this

creased to $4,000. I You under
stand that there remains nothing
for the surveyors outside the Red
Lake reservation. By this I mean,
also, all Of the smaller tracts or
reservations, included in the Mel
son act, which come under the
general head Of Red Lake surveys
There are now no applications
coming in from actual settlers to
have surveys made. The appro .
priation made for Minnesota
applies to the Office work and
examiners. It is my intention to
have the work upon the Red Lake
reservation begin about July l and
be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. When we complete it,
we shall be through with Mime

surveys even if no applications
from settlers are fled.

NERVES.

Harper's Bazaar: Mel yes aracon
venient pack-horses on whichgwe
lay the blame Of morbid tempers,
irrltability, and other unfortunate
conditions, without remem bering
that nerves are to be keptin order
by good sense and 4 firm will.
Healthy nerves contribute only TO
the pleasure and happiness Qf life,
and nev er assert thems elves except
agreeably. The diseased nerve
sends it's quivering lance-thrnst Of
pain to the remotest corners Of
our, being, and pain is therefore
always q danger-sig and must
not by passed by wlthontattention
IF there be aching eye or ears 81
teeth, or a weary sense of weight
in the back makes the day q labor
and the night torture, if there's
even sense Of discomfort any
where, let the nerves have the
credit Of reporting the trouble, and
then let them be soothed and
strengthened. But to, accuse these
faithful servants whenever our
own lack Of sell. control is the cause
Of our queralous complaint OF orr
foolish fear, is to show ourselves
weak and stupid. We owe il to
our own consciences to be candid,
and if we shiyer at a mouse, or
scream at a spider, or tremble and
grow pallid and hysterical at the
approach of thunder.s storm, lis
not on our nerves that the fault
must be laid.
Any woman who chooses to take
the trouble can be serene and quiet
hammered, can bear suffering with
fortitude and meet disaster with
heroism. The higher one goes il
the social scale, the more one finds
of calm and gentle bearing, what
ever befalls the actor in life's
drama. Social training stands one
in stead when it is an affair Of
setting the teeth and keeping still,
r. - H f.yt
or of filing the air with outcries
and clamor. ss
Our chronic complainer with
nerves forever on edge can efec-
tually destroy the tranquility Of
the domestic circle. Peace and
comfort fly before the face OF the
woman who is always at the mercy
Of nerves : That face, too, early
loses it's freshness and its bloom.
Wrinkles cover it with q network
Of crossing and illtercrossing ines;
small FUCKERS weave themse elves
about the mouth; crow s feet mul.
tiply around the eyes. No greater,
foe menaces beauty than belief
that one must be the victim, not
the commander Of her nerves.

SENSIBLE DOCTORS.

/ Present day medical practice has,
marked tendency toward the com,
mon sense basis. This has been
evident for some time, and a little
paragraph in yesterdays tele-
graphic news, stating that the Wis.
consin physicians at their annual
state meeting this week are con.
sidering only questions Of santa.
ton, sewerage, quarantine, cloth
ing and allied subjects, serves to,
point tine moral for the moment.
Preventive treatment is coming
to be more and more demanded
by intelligent people, who do not
see why they should not have the
benefit Of their doctors erudition
for the purpose Of keeping well as
much as for the purpose Of getting
well. The movement does not
mean loss Of prestige orimportance
to the profession. On the con-
trary theincreased stress laid upon
the scientific conduct Of life
makes the nan who has given the
subject his special attention far
more Important than he whose
Office it was to relieve suffering
when it had gone too far to be
| endured. Most people are too.
busy TO acquire more than a very
superficial knowledge of the sub.
| ject ofshygiene. Their instruction
| In this matter comes very properly
from the physician who has given
| time, money and experiment to
the pursuit of such knowledge.
The world can continue to grow
Healthier for century or two
without any loss of prestige for
the doctor And no more con
vincing proof Of scientific progress
and soundness can be needed than
this spectacle of a body of physi-
clans deyoting their conference to
the consideration of ventilation,
drainage, clothing and food In
stead Of to- the eccentrlcities of
disease per Sc Pioneer Press.

The Davenport Electric Belt COM
pany, recently IN Little Falls, were

following from the Journal-Press OF

rience there: "'There is one Indian
medicine show that will very prob
ably give Sank Rapids a wide berth

last week and it's troubles were as:
numerous as they were expensive.
The first cause of action arose over
a board bill. The advance agent of
the show made b contract with Mrs.
Britt, the landlady OF the Central
house, for board for his company;
but when the stars appeared they
elected to board at Mayor Bells
hostlery. MIRA. Britt sought legal
advice, and when the week was up.
Attorney Sem attached the baggage
OF the merry crew and the justice
gave the landlady a verdict on her
pleadings. This caused an outlay
on the part OF the medicine people OF
STATS. Then Mr.. Sem. who sis vii
lage attorney, disc overed that they
had not payed their license OF 80 a
day imposed by the ordinance Of the
village and caused their arrest ON
this charge. They could do snothing
but plead guilty, and this cost them
over 800. It is safe to
say that the weeks profits in Sank
Rapids were eaten up by the ruin
ously expensive legal experience en-
joyed by the show people. 8
