AN APOLOGY.

To my friends at Sunburg
whom I disappointed in not
coming out there'the 18th last as T
had promised I would, offer my
sincere apology. I had q cold at
the time, but I should neverthe-
less have come had I not had
professional business that I
could not leave. I am sorry that
I disappointed the people out
there, but I could not help it.
My professional business is of
such nature that it must be at
tended to first, politics afterward.
And in this connection I want to
say to you populist, Of Kandiyohi
Co., that you must not depend on
me for a campaign work Of any
kind this summer. I have more
than 1 can do tending to my pro-
fession, and besides writing now
and then for the TRIBUNE, I
shall take no active part in the
campaign. I think I have done
my share Of educational work by
this time,now let our young men,
we have lots of them, and able
ones at that, step to the front
and carry on the work.

Much complaint has been heard be-
cause the current Of the street lights
was not turned on during the rainy even
ings of the past week. Because the
almanac indicates moonlit evenings
does not always follow that in reality
they are so. When the streets are
dry it may be we'll enough even if the
sky is clouded to let what of fair Lu.
mas light as does force it's way to our
earths surface suffice, but on rainy
evenings when all crossings are mud.
dy, it would seem that pedestrians are
entitled to the city lights to assist
them in finding their way. While we
do not wish to censure the authorities,
we. believe that the economy of shutting
off the lights on evenings Of doubt.
full light is misplaced. How would a
rule be that the operators should KEEP
the current on except when the moon
actually shines? It would relieve
them Of any responsibility of judg.
ment, and give satisfaction to all.

It is to be regretted that the inclem-
ency of the weather prevented many
from attending the entertainment CIV
en- last Friday evening at the Semin-
airy Hall for the benefit of the ''Semin-
airy Echo.' In spite of the weather
however good sized audience was
present. The event Of the evening was
the rendering Of Shakespeare's play,
"I'he Merchant of Venice" When
one considers the difficulties of the
play and the necessarily limited resour-
ces at the command of the amateurs in
regard to equipment, it must be ad-
mitted that piece was creditably in
terpreted. Miss Emma Dalheim played
the difficult part of 'Portia" with
grace and dignity and deserves espec-
pecial communication. and Miss
Amanda Holmquist, as -s.Nerrisa" did
fairly WE'LL Mr.. Sheggeby as can
tonic" would have done very we'll had
he infused a trifle more feeling into
his work. e. A. Boyd spoke the lines
of 'Bassanio" in a creditable man
ner. Mr.. Adolph Hong imperso nated
the character Of "Shylock, the Jew','

ing characters suffered somewhat by
the omission OF parts Of the piece

One of the most interesting
articles on exhibit at Atlanta last
fall, was a blotter pad cut from
natural stone. The stone, which
is qnarried at Carthage, Mo-, has
all the absorbent qualities of the
best linen blotting paper and in
stantly performs it's work.
When it becomes gummed by
long usage, it is only necessary
to rub it's surface lightly with
sand paper to restore it toperfect
working order. It ombines the
qualities of blotter and paper
weight, and is far more convent
ent than an ordinary blotter. We
have the agency for Kandiyohi
county, and invite all to come and
see the novelty. The price is
81 cents apiece.

SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.

velocity of 800 miles an hour, and
leaving our earth at a certain time
and travelling in the direction of the
nearest fixed star, would not reach 1t

there are stars in the heavens and Wish
BILE through telescopes that would re-
quire a cannon-ball moving with the

scope and yet, whatever may have
been the efforts of astronomers to
| bring the starry heavens as a whole
| into view, even with the most powerful
| reflectors, they have so far proved to
| be futile. Hence. to the minds of men,
| the universe must seem forever to be
and to remain unreasonable. incalcu-
liable and incomprehensible. And while
we may be able to weigh and measure
| suns and systems within range Of our
| telescopes. there are others so far
away and so far beyond our powers OF
| vision. and our power of calculation
| that even our present supposed great
knowledge of the sidereal heavens
would dwindle into the thinnest OF
mental vaporles."
