Keep Your Lamps Clean.

Persons who live in the country and
are dependent upon their lamps alone
for a good light to read or study by,
should be interested in the matter OF
getting a bright, steady light from
them, and friend who experimental
and tried many methods says at last she
succeeded in securing what she so
much desired, clear, bright light; her
manner of cleaning them being this;
She never neglected cleaning them
single day; every morning she gath
cred them all and kept her tin basin,
mops, rags and all in one pl zee, and let
no one interfere with them. She first
filed all her lamps with the best OF
headlight oil; then she file d her tin
basin with hot water and dissolved
handful of pearline into the water, and
washed her chimneys bright and clear,
and next she plunged her burners,
wicks and all into the same water, add
ing little more pearline and hot water,
and left them in for few moments TO
soak. Then removed, wiped dry with
a soft cloth, and then polished chin
neys, lamps and brass or nickel part
with cid newspaper, trimmed the wicks
carefully and evenly, and set in their
places, 30 at night there was never q
lamp to fill or trim, but instead beau
tiful clean lamp, polished and shining,
with clear steady light to read by.
Cleanliness is essential, else the
lamps get sticky and gummy, and this
method of cleaning gave the family
more pleasure than they had ever had.
o, the pity of having to fill lamps just
as you need them at night, to stumble
around in the dark, hunting match,
then a pair of scissors to trim the wick,
and the chimney black with smoke
from untrimmed wick, and the wick too
short; perhaps you cannot use this
one, and try another, only to find an
other as bad. This is no overdrawn
picture. have seen it, not in the best
or well regulated homes, of course, but
it was unfortunate, end don't wonder
that the saying is, we judge a good
housekeeper by the way she keeps her
lamps. Ii behooves us al 10 look
after them careful ly, on account of our
comfort, but more on account of our
eyes and general health, for an i'll.

EXTENDED A CALL.


At meeting of the Congregational
church society Friday evening it was
voted to extend a call to Rev. d. M.
Edmands, of Brainerd, to fill their
pulpit in this city. 1t is not known
whether or not Mr.. Edmands will ac-
cept, but the members Of the church
here are greatly pleased with him and
hope that he may be induced to DO so.
He is a graduate of Dartmouth college
and has been at Brainerd for the past
four years. He is a pleasing speaker
and the church will be fortunate in
deed if it succeeds in securing him.
Prof. Pearson of Mortified will occupy
the pulpit next Sunday.

A Field for the Humane Society

a FlclO IOT tHC AiuoS Ssy'
'It would be fine thing for the
CITY," said an official at the city hall
this morning, "if the humane society
was in active operation this winter.
There is wide field for it to work in,
and it would find plenty to do. There
has not been a winter since L have
been in the city," he continued when
there has been as much abuse of dumb
animals of all kinds, and of children
as during the present winter, and why
it should run riot to such an extent
all at once, don't understand, unless
the hard times have added an in
centive for it. A humane officer would
find plenty to do at all times. :"
Another official present assented to
all this, and stated that the humane
society was one of the best organiza-
tions the city ever had, and that it
was pity it could not be kept up.
The police, he said, could do good
deal, but the humane society can
reach certain cases better than can be
done by any other method, and can
be instrumental in bringing about
more systematic plan of relief where
it is needed among the dependent
poor. Those who are in position to
know, fully appreciate the work
which Yas.done'by the humane society
while it was run in this city, and can
guage well the worth such an or
ganization would be to the city at
this time.

Creek creamery and exhibited check
in this Office for $35 Is, the amount of
butter from five COWS for one month
ending Jan. %. Considering that the
month of January has been severe
one for stock the showing is an ex-
cellent one. Ed. informed us that
the product from the same COWS one
year ago when his family made the
butter and depended on the store
price for same, was less than S1S per
month, an amount barely sufficient to
keep his family in groceries with the
strictest economy.
The Sleepy Eye Herald says
Some leading newspapers, as we'll as
insignificant ones, are now trying to
have it appear that the Brambel in
vention is fake. AS we know it. all
the stories sent abroad about the
Brambel millions were guesses pure
and simple. Not single document
has been seen that involved that
amount of money, and the Herald
must compliment the inventor on be-
ing able to keep his own affairs to
himself. When he does get his mil
lions he will know where to put them.

DEPOT BURGLARIZED.
Garden City the Scene of the Latest
Depreciation.

The Omaha depot at Garden city
was entered by burglars Thursday
night, and some packages of clothing
were broken into and part of the con.
tents distracted. One or two cans OF
oil were also stolen, and some other
articles of small value. The only clue
left by the burglars was an old pair OF
mittens. Sheriff Bowen was notified
yesterday morning. 1t is thought
that the miscreants were home talent,
and that eventually they will be
rounded up.

DR.. Davis said that Mrs. Fuller had
told him that no more prosecutions
would be undertaken.
The vote on Mr.. Fletcher's motion
was as follows: Yes-MesSrs. Fletch-
er, Keysor, Jones, Parry and Will
Jams; No-Dr. Davis. Mr.. Cray did
not vote. The motion was declared
carried
DR.. Davis moved that the board ap-
prove the superintendent action in
restoring Warren Fuller.
Mr.. Fletcher took the ground that
Warren ought to come before the
board and make statement. 1t
would be worth more to him as a lesson
in manliness than years of schooling.
1t would be the best lesson the boy
ever had.
Capt. Keysor said that he had told
the boy to come before the board at
this meeting.
DR.. Davis thought that Warren had
done enough in going to Prof Kenas-
ton and asking TO be taken back.
The matter was dropped without
action, and the boy will return to the
school,
Mr.. Jones said that he considered
that Mr.. Kenaston had been too ienj-
ent, if anything.
Supt. Kenaston called the attention
of the board to the fact that Feb. 18th
and Feb 22nd are legal holidays. He
said that he preferred having patriot
ic exercises and half day in school to
a full holiday. This met the approval
of the board, and a motion by DR..
Davis that the superintendent request
the teachers to have appropriate exer-
cises on those days was carried.
Mr., Kenaston stated that County
Scherer wants the
high school room for teachers exami-
nation Friday and Saturday, March
5th and 9Th. On motion of Mr..
Fletcher, the matter was referred to
the committee on school property and
Mr.. Scherer, to see if proper room
cannot be secured at the Normal
school for Friday.
Mr.. Kenaston reported that Miss
Deem wants seYenty-ive music books,
to cost As cents EACH No action was
taken on this, as one or two members
expressed the thought that the pupils
ought to purchase the books individu-
ally.
A large number of small bills we're
allowed, aggregating S5O7.93.
Mr.. Kenaston stated that the
national meeting of the city school
superintendent would be held at In
dianapolis March 10Th and II, and ask
ed for leave of absence to attend it.
This was granted, on motion of Capt.
Keysor.
The lowest bidder having failed to
furnish the wood agreed upon, pro-
position from B. Gerlach to furnish
fifty cords of green maple wood at once

This is the same as the lowest bid.
There being no further business the
board adjourned.
