Prosperous Insurance Company.

At the request of the secretary OF
the White Bear Lake Insurance com
pany, II. Johnshoy, the Herald pub
fishes herewiththe annual statement
for the year ending Dec. 81, 1896. It
is a mutual company, its members
being located mostly in Pope county,
although there are quite number in
Stevens and Douglas counties, these
three counties comprising the terri
tory of the company. 1t is governed
by nine directors, who are elected
annually at the meeting on the first
Tuesday in June, the following we'll
known Pope county gentlemen con-
stituting the present board of direc-
tors: =. o. Romsas, president; H.

Believing that the Carnegie and
Bethlehem steel companies are trying
to embarrass the government by re-
fusing to make armor plates for the
naval vessels now building at a reason
able price, Senator Chandler has in
troduced two bills providing that the
secretary of the navy shall take pos
session of the arrnor plants of those
two companies and manufacture the
armor plate needed for the three bat
tie ships now under construction and
authorizing those companies to bring
suit in the court of claims for their
compensation. Representative Can
non of Illinois, who will be chairman
OF the committee on appropriations
when it is appointed, was asked what
would be done to meet the stubborn
attitude of the armor makers, and he
replied: II suppose we shall have to
remove the limit Of cost and allow the
contractors their blood money. The
ships must be finished, and the armor
must be had. But if | could have my
way,I do not think any more armored
sea going vessels would be built by
the United States very soon.

According to the expressions of ]
Adam Bede, who blythe way has had
experience,there is more money in one
staying at home and minding his
own business than there is in Wash
ington looking for an Office that he
won't get. This is the unique way
he expresses himself: "One beet
sugar factory is worth more to Min
nesota than all the plums at Wash
ington. Even creamery at any
country cross roads is worth a score
of prizes from the White House. We
are weary Of these daily doses of dis
tress from the disappointed. Go to
work and let us have peace"

The Legislature adiourns today, and
the senator's and representatives will
HE themselves to their homes to be
commended or abused by their con-
stituents on their work during the
past winter. OF course that is to be
expected, as it would not have made
any difference, no matter what they
would have done, they could not
please everybody; but suffice it to
say that they all did the best they
could.

There is more catarrh in this section

| For great many years doctors pro-

failing 10 cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constltu-
tional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. Cheney q Co.,

The constant clashes between men
who made Representative Bailey of

tors are the only ones authorized to
take applications for Insurance and
also adjust the losses. The neces-
sary funds both for current expenses
and the payment of losses, are raised
by assessment, generally once year,
in the fall. They have averaged not
quite one mill per year on the pro-
perty insured, which is very cheap
insurance. Nearly all the losses are
caused by lightning. The annual re-

The MINNEAPOLIS JournaL, in tryinl

The Minneapolis Journal, in trying
to make an excuse for the Legislature
in killing off all the most important
bills, claims they are killing wood
chucks." A poor excuse. The rail
road lobby is what killed the Doug
lass rate bill, which should have been
passed by all means. Lobbying
should also be prohibited.

WEDNESDAY, APR. 81, 1897.
TWENTY-FOUR PAGES.


In placing before the public this
twenty-four page edition, we DO so
with an appreciation of our liberal
and broad minded advertising patrons.
It is the largest and most literally
patronized paper ever issued in the
county, and we point with pride to
every advertiser in its columns as be-
ing men public spirited, honorable,
conscientious, straight forward and
honest business men, whom we can
cheerfully recommend to any and all
strangers and customers. They are
men who have adopted the policy,
olive and let live;" men who believe
in helping one another, men who are
always ready to assist any move for
the benefit of the town, county and
public.
We would respectfully ask every
one who receives copy Of the TRIB-
UNE this week to stop, reflect and care
fully read every page. It will be
time we'll spent. Carefully fix the adj
vertisers in your mind so you will
know just where to go when you
come to town.
AS the paper will likely fall into the
hands of good many strangers, peo-
pie who have never been in our city,
word to them may not be amiss. If
you should be so unfortunate (?) as
to be cast among us you will find no
strangers here. Cheerfully approach
any of our business men for informa-
ton, and they will treat you like an
old friend and acquaintance and offer
you the best the town can afford.
Our time being limited in getting
out this extra large edition there were
a good many points we failed to touch
upon, and some scarcely at all. Two
points in particular we will mention
here, which could have filed page
to an advantage. They are the small
er villages. in the county and the
churches, the latter especially should
have been given space, but suffice to
say that the entire population Of the
county is regarded as astrictly church
going people, and you will know with
out naming that the county and vii
lagos are well supplied with that most
important factor.
AS to the villages we have Hancock.
ChoRio, Donnelly and Wheeler with
in the county and several more almost
on the county line. All are thriving
and prosperous burgs and first class
market towns.
We should not forget to mention
the fact that, while it took an unusual
amount of extra labor and expense,
and good deal of hustling to place
this paper before the public, we are
deeply indebted to our school super
intendents, E. B. Linsley and r. C.
Dewey, and the secretary Of the Nor
ris Creamery Association, Geo. E.
Darling and also to w. /. Gray,
the electrician, for indispensi-

THE PROGRESS notes with sur
prise that the States thinks Grover
Cleveland is no coward. We are
considerable surprised because
both editors of this able daily fully
understand the use of terms and
language; can fully appreciate the
difference between bravery or cour-
age and stubbornness; both know
that the biggest towards on earth
are frequently the most relentless
tyrants, just what Grover Cleve-
land is, as THE PROGRESS sees it..
Perhaps States has forgotten
that he hired substitute to take
his place in the war; may be it has
overlooked the fact that ne has de-
tectives with him when moving
about Washington and going from
and to the Capitol. We believe
he is a contemplate, bullying
coward.

The Sunday school Children.


bered in the manner dearest to
their hearts, by the medium of the
Christmas trees. Those sights are
always attractive to children who
delight in securing, though it be
but a trifle from the glistening,
glittering, dressy Christmas tree.
Wednesday night the little Sab
bath school folks, ana-Ihe big
ones too for that matter, Of the
First Baptist church, were i'm
mensely delighted when they saw
this embley of holiday rejoicing,
all aflame with bright tassels, and
tinsels and spangles which under
the rays of the wax candles looked
beautiful and inviting and showing
off the presents to the best advan-
tage.
And on Thursday night the
First Presbyterian church threw
open her doors to the Sunday
school children whose eyes out
rivaled the beauty of the hand
some ornament which stood and
babe them welcome, and to come
and enjoy with, sense of eye and
taste, her delicious fruitage. Su-
purb in appearance it was and
young and old admired and read
mired it's beauty with growing in
tensity.
On Friday night Jordan street
Methodist church presented its
token of esteem to the children
who attend that Sunday school,
with one OF those representations
of the joyous Christmas tide. 1t
was lovely green holly where
red berries We'd with the other de-
corations of various kinds, for
choise of place in the estimation
of the audience for attractiveness.
All the children, rich or poor were
treated alike, each receiving about
what the other did.
This is a custom we delight in, one
which we believe is productive OF
| much good. A most attractive
sight if a well trimmed Christmas
tree: and when the children know
that reward for their fidelity is in
store, it incites them to strive the
more earnestly to be punctual and
look after their own department.
Let us keep up the custom; let us
always pr esent to them the bright
side of the Christian life; teach
them that the journey Of follower
of Jesus is not one of sorrow, but
the pathway is frequently garden
ed with bright aromatic flowers
whose distiliation are sweet to the
smell.
