The issue of the FaribauIt Democrat
for April Is is a very handsome num-
Der, commemorating the tweuty-fifth
anniversary of the existence Of the
city. While the first settlement on
the present site Of Faribault was made
In 1885, it was in 1872 that the first
meeting of the common council Of the
city Of Faribault was called to order
by the city's first mayor. The issue Of
the Democrat contains an interesting
sketch of the history and growth Of
the city, and is embellished with q
large number of handsome illustrations
Of business buildings, residences al d
the elegant and commodious structures
on the grounds Of the various Institu-
lions for which that city is famous.
The number is a credit to the city Of
Faribault and to the publishers of the
Democrat.

Capt Charles O'Neiil. Chief Of the
Bureau Of Ordnance Of the Navy De-
partment, is opposed to the establish
ment OF a Government plant for the
making Of armor plate for our fight
ing vessels. He says in his annual
report to Secretary Long; The
Bureau is Of the opinion that the
Government can purchase armo. more
cheaply than they can make it. The
Bureau regards the making Of armor
as proper adjunct to great COM
mercial steel plant. Foreign practice
confirms this view, aud even should
the Department acquire plant Of its
own. the chances are that it would be
at great cost, and that it would lie
idle part of the time and thus suffer
great deterioration, aud that the ex-
peuse aud difficulty OF operating it,
when needed. would more that offset
any advantages gained by such owner

Thanksgiving Coming

When the barns are filed to raftcrs with
wealth of garnered sheaves,
And a yellow tinge is creeping DER the
cancpies of leaves;
When the orchards yield their treasures
with the aid Of clothesline props,
And the jumping records broken when
from the tree the ladder drops;
When the grapes that hung in clusters
have from all the vines been clipped
And we miss the nectared flowers where
the bees so often slipped;
1t is then we realize that harvest time
has come and gone,
And we're turning our attention to some
crops still coming on.
With the fondest satisfaction on the
chestnut trees are seen
Prickly burrs that will contribute to the
fun of Halloween;
And the butternuts and walnuts, on the
swaying branches tossed,
Are but waiting to be mellowed by the
sunshine and the frost.
Then glance around another pleasant
prospect will disclose
For we see that swelling cabbage heads
are standing there in rows;
It's scene ihat's calculated to excite us
with delight,
For It's proof the most convincing that
the sauerkraut crops all right.
But there's still another pleasure that is
coming on apace.
For we see the naughty gobbler strutting
all about the place,
Every day now finds them better, and
their weight still more increased,
And we know the turkeys ripening for
the great Thanksgiving feast.

A stomachtul of undigested food is
about as unhealthy mass as one can
we'll imagine.
What can be done with it9
There it stays. 1t won't digest.
It churns up, ferments ard decays;
becomes poisonous (as all putrid mat
ter does) and causes great pain and
deep-seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisons are
created.
1t clears the stomach Of poisons
already there. 1t helps it to turn
the food that remains, into healthful
nourishment. 1t strengthens the
stomach for the next meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and
cure Of indigestion in few words.
And what's more. it's all true. Try
it.

AT the risk of causing pain to the
free-trade advocates who have insisted
that the adoption Of protective sys-
tenn would destroy our foreign mar
ket for American manufactures, their
attention is respectfully called to the
fact that the expectation Of domestic
manufactures from the United States
in the first month under the Dingley
law was nearly two million dollars
more than in the corresponding month
of the preceding year under the Will
son law. When to this is added the
fact that the September expectations
of domestic merchandise of all kinds
were twenty millions greater under
the Dingley law than those Of Sep
temper, 1896, under the Wilson law,
it will be seen that the dismal pre-
dictions of the loss Of our foreign
market by the enactment Of pro-
tective tariff are not being rapidly
realized.

troops TO be drawn up on "a line in such
numbers as to extend for mile and or
dercd by signal that all could see to flrc
at ouce. One standing at the end OF the
line would hear the report OF the mus
Iret nearest him instantly. He would
hear the others successfully. Thus re-
mort $50 feet away would come to him
in half q second, and he would not hear
the last report for five or six seconds
after the gun had been fred This would
produce sort Of roll, which would
gradually increase in intensity. III the
listener stood exactly midway between
the two ends of the line, the reports
from both ends would reach him at
once. and the sound would be but hall
az long in reaching him as If he stood
at one extremity. If the soldiers formed
a circle. there would be one sharp ex'
nlos;on. Flashes of lightning may DC
considered as representing three lines OF
troops along which the explosions oc'

sound in thunder. In mountainous re-

The Man Who Bets.

A story is related of a farmer who
came into village grocery in one OF
our western states and exhibited to an
admiring crowd an enormous egg
about inches long, which was laid by
one of his old hens. He had it packed
in cotton and wouldn't allow anybody
to handle it for fear of breaking the
phenomenon. The grocery man examin-
ed it with the rest, and, intending to
chaff the country man, said, "Pshaw.
I've got something in the egg line that
will beat that'' "I'll bet you IS you
haven'tr' said the country man, getting
excited. "Take it up!" said the grocery
man, and, going behind the counter, he
brought out wire egg beater. There
something in the egg line that will
beat it, guess, said he, reaching for
the stakes Hold ON therel" said the
farmer Lets see you beat it. And
he handed it to the grocer. The latter

Nervous Strain of Railway Work.

There is reason TO believe that at all
times there are men ON the line who are
working very near to their breaking
strain We may i'll regard to this men,
ton three well known instances which
at the least show the tension under
which work is often carried on. A sta
tion master, seeing a man run over on
the line, himself fell down dead upon
the platform. Here was shock which
permanently made his heart stand still !;
but how many times had not that mans
heart stood still before? We may feel
perfectly certain that if the major shock
could kill, the minor daily recurring
shocks of a railway life must have
greatly damaged heart so under the
influence of the nervous system.
Two trains collided at junction. 1t
was either the fault Of the drivers or OF
the rails, certainly not of the signal
man. The signals were right; yet when
| the box was entered the signalman was
| found to have gone mad, and had to be
taken to an asylum, where he remained
for long. He was broken utterly by the
horror of the dilemma; but what shall
we say about the smaller dilemmas
which every hour of his working life he
had to solve? Did they not also have an
effect. although lesser one, upon his
brain?
A few years ago it was found thai
the sickness rate among the signalmer
of certain lines was becoming excessive
and it was determined to do away with
the system of leaving to one man thu
whole responsibility Of taking charge O
a signal box. At great expense ever,
box along the line was supplied witt
two men. Great evils were prophesied

the reverse has been the case. Although

there is something so fascinating about

that it will ever die out until some new
and better way of reproducing the face
of nature is discovered. Those persons
who adopted the camera just because
their neighbors did have given it up, as
might have been expected. These same
people will eventually grow tired of the

what they seek. and as soon as the new

attractions. But for persons who have a
taste that way photography is ever a
novelty. There is always some new
process to try, some new experiment to
make, and the real enthusiast never
wearies of his camera. The amateurs
are largely responsible for the great
progress made in photography, and 1t is
fact that until the amateur entered
