Notes From Exchanges.

ways reaction after presidential
election which causes the opposition
party to gain in some localities. The
free silverites should remember this,
and they wouldn't be so sure about
the result of the campaign of 1900.
Chatfeld Democrat: The slot
machine nuisance is likely to be driv-
en- out of use by use Of counterfeit
lead and iron nickels. The process is
a good deal like one sort of bacillus
being employed to destroy another.
1t is an example of roguery playing
upon cupidity.
Waseca Radical: Waite, Cleve-
lands pension spy, convicted in
district and state courts of Iowa for
intimidating witnesses, now works
the writ of "have his carcass" to get
into the federal courts, hoping to get
clear there. His augur bores smaller
than it did.
OwatonDa Peoples Press: We
learn Of Mr.. Dartt that the frosts
have not killed all the apples and that
the prospect is encouraging with him
for fair crop Of apples this season.
Mr.. Dartt finds that there was much
more damage done on low ground
than on higher land as is usual with
Jack Frost.
| Adrian Democrat: Mr.. and Mrs.
Straka, of Lake Crystal, Minn., are
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Jones.
Mr.. and Mrs. Straka are enjoying
their honeymoon tour. Mrs. Straka
was formerly Miss Edith Hunt, col.
lege friend Of Mrs. Jones and whose
visit to Adrian last summer will be
remembered by many of our people.
St. Peter Herald: One of the
things that no man, woman or child
has ever been able to understand, is
why the last day Of school is called
commencement" says the St. Cloud
Journal Press. Why, that is the day
when the students bump of conceit
commences to grow smaller and the
day when the world seems to expand
and grow larger.
Fairmont News: VIM. J. Drake
and wife of Dexter, Mimi, have beer
in town for several days awaiting the
obsequies Of L. n. Drake. Mrs. D
returned to her home Monday, bu1
Mr.. Drake will stay for few days tt
assist in the settlement of hi
brothers estate, which is quite ex
tensive as he was the owner of abou
$50 acres Of land in Tenhassen beside
other property.
Benson Times: The supervisors o
each town are now empowered unde
the law which went into effect tn
first Of this month, to collect
. license fee of not to exceed thirt
dollars year from all peddlers an
hawkers, for the privilege of sellin
their goods and wares within th
limits Of such township. Thirty do
lars would practically drive all G
them out of the township, but tn
license may be made less if thei
, visits are desired.
; Albert Lea Enterprise: A larg
; number Of people were in the cit
) from Moscow and Oakland last Satul
2 day as witnesses in the probat
!. court to testify regarding Henry Ferc
2 for whom bis son made application t
5 the court for the appointment of
guardian. Four or five lawyers fror
Austin we're employed in the Cas-
and an interesting one was developed
The case was adjourned until Tue!
) day but neither side appeared and

Morris Sun: Down at Benson th
plan of making tramps work for thei
meals is to be tried. The villae
, authorities supply meal tickets t
, residents, who in turn give them t
, tramps begging food, and if on pr
sentation of these tickets to the maj
shall the holder is willing to earn
! meal, the village authorities furnis
him both work and food. Th
scheme was tried successfully i
many places last season, and had th
effect to aid the unfortunate and dis
courage the idle and shiftless.
Winona Republican: Climate an
fruit alone cannot be depended upo
. to produce either population c
, wealth in large degree. These flo,

merely for temporary enjoymen
and when the hoodtide ceases to flow
as cease it must and will at interval
the reaction tells greatly on the con
munity thus affected. The stead
agricultural prosperity of such
State as Minnesota is worth far NOR
