To Help Borgstron.

The following pention is being cir
culated in this city and is being
generally sighed. The idea in our
opinion is a good one and while we
believe that in the eyes Of the law
Mr.. Borgstrom was guilty, morally
he was not and should be dealt with
according to the intent to commit a
wrong. The punishment Mr.. Borg
strom has received in the loss of his
position and the attendant loss of
official pristige, the majority think
has been severe enough and should
satisfy the law. The petition reads:
To the Board of Pardonsof the state
of Minnesota.
The undersigned residents and
citizens of ST. Louis Country, Mime
sofa, respectfully state that they are
all acquaintance of Peter ]. Borg
strom lately Register of Deeds of this
County; that he is man of good
reputation aud high moral character:
that they know the focts in reference
to the crime for which he was recently
convicted; that they believe that,
morally, said Borgstrom committed,
and intended to commit, no offense and
that neither the best interests of the
public nor Justice to him would be
subserved by subsection him to punish
meut for the crime charged.
Wherefore your petitioners pray
that he be granted bp your honorably
body in unconditional pardon of said
conviction and sentence.

NO CHANGE.
Nothing OF serious Moment i'm tho
Iron Situafion-The Mar
ket at Large.

The iron ore situation shows no
change in the past week. The
presence in Cleveland Of representa-
tives of the leading Pittsburg and
Chicago ia terests has been construed
in some quarters as significant of
important developments for next
year. Their errand, however, had
nothing To do with ore questions, nor
yet with steel rail Questions-In
short shipments are now practically
ended. barring Marquette, and the
close of another week will see the end
of shipments at all ports, outside of
few stray cargoes.
The report of slightly weaker
prices in iron and steel, resulting
from the suspension Of buying in
large lots, is more general this week.
Yet the same week has brought con-
firmation of what has been predicted
right along concerning costs for 1898
an advance in wages at all furnaces
in the Mahoning and Shenango
valleys-which adds from Z to u cents
a ton to the costs of iron from those
districts. Labor at Lake Superior
mines will come the coke advance,
amounting from 40 to So cents per
ton of iron, according to the price
paid this year. But the increased
cost argument weight little in COM
tparison with that of the relation
| between present consumption and the
rate that may be looked for in the
first half of 1898. The blast furnace
returns show that in the face Of pro-
duction at the rate of Ii 200, 900 year
at the opening of the month, stocks
of iron in furnace yards decreased 49,
900 tons in October. not counting
those of large steel WORKS, which it is
known were reduced considerably in
that h. A fen addition fur-
naces will be shown on the active list
In the statement Of Dec. /, but with
the price of pig iaan stationary OF
receding, there can fsse REQUIREMENT
to add much to present production,
The margin is too small. Northern
irons are all somewhat weaker than
in the early part of the month What
keeps Southern irons firm is the fact
that in that section producing capa
lefty is smaller, in comparison with
business booked, and the Stacking OF
demand still leaves the leading fur
naces shipping more iron than they
make. while in some cases warrants
are being bought by sellers to supply
pressing orders. Some Northern sci
lers of foundry iron are now - to 3;
cents below the prices they held at the
beginning of the month. Bessemer pig
iron is inactive. Buyers are offering
$3.50 at valley furnaces for December
iron. while furnaces, being generally
well sold, make no response, though
$3.50 can readily be done. For the
first three months of 1898, $3.50 ha:
been done, but the margin over prob
able cost is not eniugh to induce
mokers to trade. The general feeling
in finished material is undoubtedly
weaker, though there are a few ex
; ceptions.-IronT Trade Review.

The Same Result.

Ask any old man who has realized
his pet object in life if he is satisfied,
and he will probably answer mo. y
The man whose dream was to accumu-
late wealth is Worried to death when
he gets it. He fears that he will lose
it or that his family will squander it.
The ambitious politician who finally
reaches the high office which he has
sought all his life is made wretched
by his foes and false friends. Every
man who wants to be famous, power
full or successfulin in any way will admit
in his old age that the game was not
worth the candle.
What is fame-What is wealth ?
Since Adam there have been millions
of rich men and great men, but only a
few of their names have been handed
down. Their dust now mingles with
the common clay of other mortals, and
they are forgotten. The poor toile1
who has serenely accepted his lot,
loving his God aud his fellow man. is
far happier when his race is run than
the so-called great ones Of earth

painting with his tongue out, in the
manner supposed to be peculiar to the
dog.
He has none of the sinis
ter traits of his tribe, does
not parade along the narrow edge
of back fences in the dead of night, and
gets from place to place in dog
trot, or real gallop, instead of in the
soft-footed and obsequious manner of
other cats. Towser has mastered that
mysterious free masonry of dogs
which has been the wonder of natural
lists for all time, and seems to have
but little trouble in forming the ac-
quaintances of strange dogs which he
meets on the street :corners and about
the bases of friendly lamp posts and
telegraph poles. Occasionally he has
run across an ugly terrier, who, ac-
cepted no ovcrturcs, would attempt to
rend Towser on the spot, ard it is on
ly on such rare occasions i'lat lows
er's feline propensities come to the
surface. When dog attacks him he
will climb tree or fence, where he
will sit growing and barking at the
enemy until he satisfies himself that
he is not really a cat, but dog in all
but physical conformation.
Towser is very fond of a run
through the streets with his master,
and from long jaunts over the grant,
old pavements and rough streets his
once velvet paws have been covert d
with callous corns, until his football is
no longer inaudiblc, and his toe nails
are as rough and strong as those of a
dog.
Towser has pronounced antipathy
for women, and will rush at them,
barking furiously and growing as if
he would bite them; his bark is worse
than his bite, however, for he has
never been known to bite anyone and
has earned for himself the reputation
Of being. a very docile and intelligent
dog or cat, as the case may be.-St.

In Georgia city lives popular

is very fond of fishing and hunting,
and does not object to telling side
splitting anecdot> occasionally. Here
is one:
Once party went fishing. There
was some snake medicine along, and
one or more of the party took too
much aboard. In the evening ter
rife storm came up. AS it was near
ing the party. one, more pious than
the rest, knelt down at the root OF
tree and began to pray for protection.
About the same time one of those who
had tapped the jug too often shouted

About Paying Debts.

Now that the crop is being harvest
ed all creditors are anxiously looking
to the collection of their bills, and !,
one year with another, il is best to
sell cotton as soon as it is ready for
market. 1t is always best to pay
debts promptly. Let no man sacrifice
his credit for the sake Of bale of
cotton, or hold back his cotton in hope
of specializing on that which is justly
the property or the money of another.
The wisest and best fnanciers in the
country know nothing of the future
price of cotton.
A good name is of great value to
any man. The rich become richer by
the use of their credit, and the poor
are saved from great embarrassment
by the fact of good name. A good
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches. By good name and BY
good credit, the man without money Is
set forward in the affairs Of the wcrld.
Therefore pay what you owe if it
takes the last cent. You can then
use your credit again. y man with a
good name can pledge his word at any
time and secure the needed help, but
the man who labors under a bad name
as to debt-paying is in a bad fix.
There is a great difference in being
prompt and in delaying payment.
The man who postpones the pay
ment of debt Injuries his credit and
gains nothing. Two men pay all they
owe-one pays promptly, the other de-
lays-one has good credit. the other
has not so good basis Of credit.
No man man can afford to throw
away a good name for the sake OF a
bale of cotton. A bale of cotton is
trash when compared to that priceless
boon-a good name.-Exchange.
