ever seen. The man who drives the

degenerate species of ass. He likes

es him two days to make the trip, and
if be is well-to-do and owns five burros
he can make fifty cents day less the
cost of cutting the wood. Many of
them own only one burro and you can
easily see these poor fellows do not
have very short road to opulence.
But to return to the city of Santa
Fe with its historic Plaza around
which the city is built, the first place
we enter are the rooms of the Histori-
cal Society of New Mexico. Here we
see the old Spanish leather trunks
which we're used during the Conquest
of Mexico; the key and lock to the
great prison where the ancient Indian
captives we're confined before being put
to death by cruel Spaniards; large
thigh bone of some huge Mastodon
which used to feed in the valley of the
Rio Grande long long ago; stone NOR
tars and pestles for grinding grain the
sight of which calls to mind the pas
sage of Revelations which says: 1.-TWO
women shall be grinding at the mill.
The one shall be taken, the other left;"
samples of the minerals of New Mex
leo; ancient pottery, some of which
looks as if it was made about three
thousand years ago more or less; idols
of all descriptions, large idols. small
idols, stone idols, clay idols and wood
en- gods of different styles, patterns
and makes. In a large case we see
opals, agates and turquoise, all taken
from the mines of New Mexico. In
the hall lies a huge block of native
coal and the massive petrifed stump
of a tree.
As we stood looking at all these
curiosities thought to myself, what a
grand opportunity there is here for
some Jew to secure a whole job lot
and go into business on large scale.
After leaving the rooms of the His
torical society and crossing the Plaza
I found that the Jew had anticipated
my thought by exactly one hundred
years according to his sign which read
as follows: "Simon Goldstein estab-
lished this curio business in 1886"
He is able to give you satisfactions in
bargains. Upon a blackboard we
read: Especial sale for to-day only.
We will give fifty per cent. off to-day

ings or the water pot from the ancient
Palace Of Montezuma.. This is the

Washed his hands" Later Simon had
a fire that burned up his stock and he
left the city after getting the insurance.

SOLDIERS HOME
The prettiest Spot in All the
World.

What magnificent spot is the Min
nesota State Soldiers Home and how
military like it is conducted by Com
mander Thos. Mcmillan? The writer
visited the place for the first time in
six years last Thursday evening and
he was astonished at the large amount
Of Improvements that had been car
ried on during the interval. There
have been four or five new buildings
constructed since that time, among
them being what is known as the adj
ministration building, the pavilion,
hospital and a cottage for old SOL
diers. All Of these buildings were es-
pecially designed for the purpose for
which they were intended and make
places for the old soldiers of which
the latter have q right to feel proud.
The grounds are kept up in superb
style and don't believe that the sum-
mer months can boast of prettier
spot in the world than the Soldiers
Home at Minnehaha.
About Commander Thomas McMil-
lan-or plain Tom. Nc, as we used to
know him around Redwood. Falls.
Well, it is fact that during his many
years OF administration of the Home
there has not been one complaint
against him that would hold water. He
is a strict disciplinarian in the first
place and in the second place he knows
the likes of the old soldiers under his
care and he allows them all the latitude
possible and consistent with the good
government of the home. He realizes
that the institution is not place for
incarceration, but rather of comfort
and pleasure, and that when an in
mate slightly oversteps the rules OF
propriety he should not be summary
punished for his act. The very fact
that Populistic kicker named Stock
we'll, and purporting to come from
Hennepin county, has created more
or less talk in the legislature over the
administration of the Home, is really
to the credit of Mr.. Mcmillan. Stock
we'll was born with lot of bad bile
on his stomach and he is of a very
sour disposition as a consequence, and
wants to attack everything. He also
feels like Pop, and the two together
constitute the average investigator.
The persons who complained to Mr..
Stockwell were old soldiers who are
not responsible for their own acts. All
things considered the investigating
committee could only tell the truth
and that truth showed Mr.. Mcmillan
a remarkable manager of the home.
Ninety-fve per cent of the old SOL
diers in the home will say the good
word for their commander.
Mr.. Mcmillan has a good help-mate

Mr.. Mcmillan has good help-mate
in his better half. Mrs. Mcmillan
keeps the administration building in
continually inviting condition, and
it's several apartments are certainly
creditable to her exquisite taste. She
is rapidly regaining her health after a
long siege of illness, and friends of
the Soldiers Home will wish that she
may long be the first lady of that in
stitution.

One thing certain is that the legis-
lature reduced the total of the omni-
bus appropriation bill to large ex-
tent over former appropriations. The
keepingrdown of these appropriations
is a very hard thing to do for the rea-
son that combinations ARE effected
whereby the member representing a
certain institution gets all that he asks
for. This is where the shrewdness of
the senate finance committee came in.
All of the members are good financial
men and are experienced men in
handling appropriation measures.
They passed upon the bills with good
sense and judgment.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-04-22

The legislature was scheduled to
adjourn at high noon yesterday. The
GROWERS all insisted that it was the
worst legislature that ever assembled.
This is the usual kick of the GROWERS.
There seems to be general belief
that it was about an average legisla-
ture, and that it might have been a
great deal better if the members had
drawn full pay on the first day of the
session, and adjourned without enact
ing a law. All kinds of rumors could
be heard about individual members
but only few of them could be SUBJ
stantiated and the members, as a
whole, have their shirts unstained, so
far as proof of wrong-doing is con-
cerned.
