Sand sitting Machine.

An old flour-mill device, viz, q sus
pended sieve with crank motion, has
been revived to meet the requirements
of a modern foundry. 1t Is we'll known
that no two founders agree as to the
right proportions and grading of the
sand mixtures to suit different forms
and sizes of castings, while it is sheer
eXtravagance to allow the skilled mold
er to waste his time In riddling when
a laborer can do 1t just as well. 1t
Is to meet this want that a new sand
sitting machine has been devised. 1t
Is claimed that with this machine one
laborer can prepare all the facing re-

Theatrical Season Opening.

Manager Gross, Of the Little Falls
opera house, has arranged for the
appearance OF most excellent at
traction for the opening of the the
atrical season at his house on Friday
evening. Oct. 2. The play is Alden
Benedict's romantic melodrama,
"rabio Romani," with Charles Mack
lin and Miss Therese Milford in the
leading roles. and supported by a
strong company. The play, as pre-
scented by this COMPANY, has been a
great success in all the larger cities
of the United States. A special at
traction Of the evenings entertain
ment will be Miss Grace Hunter, in
her famous fire, stereOpticon and
Spanish dances. An exchange prints
the following in regard to the play:
Alden Benedict's FabiO Romani
company opened at the Grand opera
house last night to magnificent au-
dience. Thepiece contains many thrill
ling and displays bea utiful
scenery, especially in the first and
last acts, representing the city Of
Naples with it's magnificent bay. In
the last act the same picture is pre-
scented with the addition of Mt.
Vesuvius in active eruption, accom-
panied by the roar of an earthquake
and the crumbling of buildings. It
is, indeed. an effective picture. With
these auxlliaries and strong cast,
Fabio Romani should prove money
maker for Manager Benedict.

ON the Brainerd Dispatch.
WHO TOLD THE LIE?

The Little Falls Herald publish es
the following in it's last issue:
The Mckinley club, of Brainerd,
has over 1000 members. We have
it on reliable authority that many
of its members, especially railroad
men, are at heart for Bryan, but
dare not say so, for fear of being
dismissed. ~ :.:.':. .. ..'<
The fact Of the matter is that
every railroad man whose name ap.
pears upon the roll of the Me-
Kinley and Morris club Of this city
put it there Of his own free will.
The railroad men of this city are
not the kind that would be coerced
in matter of choice of candidates,
and they are as free to support the
man of their choice as is the Herald
editor, and probably more so.
Whoever informed that paper that
the Northern Pacific ever init.
mated dismissal to an employee
for not supporting Bryan told some.
thing they knew was not truth.
The number of wage earners who
are supporting the sound money
ticket in this city has driven the
silverites to desperation, and they
are willing to account for it in any
way that comes handy.

Why is business hating! Why
are mines and mills closing down!
Why is everybody going slow about
engaging in enterprises involving
the purchase of materials and pro
ducing manufactured articles for
future sale! Why, simply because
a man does not want to paw a good
dollar to produce something that
he may be obliged to sell for a poor
one. AS Mr.. J. T. Mcbride put it,
in a lette: to a fellow employe OF a
railway company: "In ordinary
times when demands for goods are
light, the manufacturer will fill up
his stock so as to be ready for the
future orders; but he cannot afford
to manufacture goods on basis of
100 cents in the. standard dollar
and sell them for dollars worth
only So cents. "-Minneapolis
