Minnesota never neglects an oppor-
tunity to show her colors or bear the
burdens of the Republican party. 1t
was the first state to tender troops to
Lincoln. 1t is one of two states that
has never failed to go Republican
since it's admission to the Union.
Just now it furnishes the secretary for
the National Business Mems League,
the National Sound Money League
and the National Republican League,
and was the first State to engage head
quarters in Detroit for it's delegation
to the tenth annual convention of the
National Republican League. This
convention promises to be of great
Importance and the most largely at
tended in the history of the organiza-
ton. The dates are July Ii, IA, and

Deafnes. Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cam
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

''The Boston Herald" says that
Mark Twain once attended mission
airy meeting in Hartford, at which a
missionary made an address. After
listening to the agonizing story of suf-
fering, Mark Twain said to himself:
"For Gods sake, send that plate a.
round, SO that can pour my sym
pathy into it. I'll give you these four
one-hundred dollar bills, and if / can
get piece of paper, I'll write q check
for something more. I can very we'll
spare a little money for a cause like
that But the lecturer went on talk
ing, and as he talked, Twain's enthu-
siasm Gained and the red flush OF his
sympathy became paler. ssAnd when
the missionary had been talking about
half an hour had saved one of those
bills, and when he had talked five min
utes more, two of those bills were mine
again and when he had been talking
anhour, had won all four back, and,
by gosh, when he finally did send that
plate round, / borroweds:lO cents out
OF it to pay my car-fare home. y

The school meeting.

Pursuant to call, school meeting
was held on Tuesday afternoon which
was very largely attended-for a
school meeting. There were fullysa
hundred persons present, every seat in |
the Assembly room being filed.
Lyman r. Barto was selected to pre-
side, and j. F. Cooper was elected
secretary. Mr.. Woodbury.. secretary
OF the school board was called upon
to make statement relative to the
condition of the school accommoda-
tions. and the needs and requirements.
He said that the present seating ca
pacity of the school property owned
by the district was $40, and the aver
age attendance 472 during the past
year, the enrolment being sos. In
1894 enrolment was $50 and the aver
/ age attendance 4S5, and back in the
4 early winters the enrolment was $40.
In other words the school enrolment
has not very materially increased DUR
J ing the past six years, and was larger
during the academic year of '94 and
. than during that of '95 and g.. Mr..
Vath was of the opinion that when
the silver craze influence had expired
and better times returned that the
, still greater, as pupils would be able
to indulge their desire attend private
institutions of learning. DR.. Lewis
thought that the reason decrease
was shown was the fact that present
accommodations were inadequate,
and that scholars from the outside
who desire to enter our schools were
denied the privilege. He believed in
, .libral policy that would welcome
. every young person seeking the adj
vantage of better school to come to
Sank Centre. He advocated a per-
manent shool building which would be
credit to the city, and offered to
give tangible expression to this de-
sire by offering his check for $4,000
toward such building. Mr.. Sprague
thought that building to cost a
Thousand or fifteen hundred dollars
would be sufficient to meet the pres
ent requirements. He objects to any
increase of taxes at this time. A
resolution was offered, as suggested
in the call, by Mr.. Hogan, that good
building be erected upon lot to be
purchased for that purpose at a cost
not to exceed $4,000. This was voted
down. He then offered the record
proposition named in the call-the
purchase of the Congregational church
property. This did not receive
single affirmative vote. The third
proposition, the erection of frame
building not to exceed 1850, on the
present school property, was submit
ted and adopted. The resolution en-
powers the school board to erect a
frame building suitable for school
purposes, and to finish and equip the
same. The proposed plan is to put
up building 36x48 feet, with two
rooms, providing two will be sufi-
cient, seven feet east of the Lord
building. There was considerable
cursory discussion, participated in
by number of those present, and
considerable Interest developed.

If the capitol commission can stand
the pressure being brought to bear by
the loyal intelligence of the; state in
favor of Minnesota stone, it will be
brought to book by the pressure of un-
employed labor. There is no sense in
employing outside labor for strictly
inside enterprise. By the way, it is
said that law passed in 1885 makes it
imperative that Minnesota stone be
used unless an attempt be made to
nullify the law by combination to
force the price of the home product
above legitimate prices.
What sort of an ADMINISTRATION can
beexpected of a ategovernment doing

during the lifetime of The said Merritt A.W ood-
bury, or about the 10th day of January, A.

EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.

THE school meeting on Tuesday de-
cided to erect cheap building for
school purposes to take the place OF the
Fisher buildidg now rented, and pro-
vide for the over-crowd in the main
building. The new building will cost
from twelve to ffteen hundred dollars,
and is designed to be a temporary at
fair only-say for six or eight years
s-whena good building will have to be
erected. In other words, the school
board will probably throw away the
building after such use loss OF two
or three hundred dollars year. The
interest on the cost of good substan-
tial structure, which would be an or
nament TO the city and a credit to the
school system, would be only S4OO
a year-it costing no more probably
less, to heat and care for the better
building. The only items to be legiti-
mately considered in the comparison
isthe difference in the cost OF the struc-
ture during the time the temporary one
is in use, which is shown above to be
rather less than more than $500 a year.
The assessed valuation of the district
is $40, 900; and the trifiing, in fact inn
perceptible increase of third OF a
mill per year would provide for the
difference between the proposed credit
able school house and the one authoriz-
ed by themeeting. In otherwords, ajax
payerwhoseassess valuation is 81, 600
would pay thirty cents more year for
the next five or six years for the better
building. 1t is astonishing that tax
payers, even the largest, are best able
always to pay their taxes, will not see
that such bnilding as the school
needs will be the cheapest in the long
run But the appeal to local pride so
forcibly made by DR.. Lewis fell upon
unsympathic ears.

Hon. S. G.. ComstOck has been men
toned by several papers as a candidate
for governor. If the Republicans of
MinnesOta desire to choose standard
bearer whose character and reputation
are stainless they cannot find better
man than Solomon G. COmstOck Heis
a man of wide experience in public at
fairs and has been successful in manag-
ing his own business. There is noman
in the state who can say word against
the public record or private character
of MIR. Comstock. He is free from the
tricks of politicians or he might now
be occupying place high above that
of plain citizen of MoOrhead. One
thing is certain, Mr.. Comstock will not
buy the nomination with promises or
anything more tangible. If the people
of his political faith decide to confer
upon him the honor OF a nomination
he will gladly accept and go into the
fight to win. Ii on the other hand,
any clique of politicians attempts to
trade upon Mr.. Comstock's prestige
they will soon discover that he will
have none of it.-Moorhead Indepen-
dent.
The HERALD endorses every word of
the bove eulogy of Mr.. Comstock, tie
writer having been somewhat intimate
ly acquainted with him for many years.
To know him is to honor and respect
him. Northern MINES ota has never
had the recognition in the state ticket
to which it is entitled. and the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Comstock is eminently
fitting from purely a sectional view
Neither Minneapolis nor ST. Paul de-
sire the gubernatorial nomination for
any one of their statesmen-they do
not care to enter the senatorial cam
paign thus handicapped. 1t seems to
be conceded that rural Minnesota will
have the nomination and certainly no
more available candidate can be named
than S. G.. Comstock of M oorhead.

HADE 1T HOT FOR BUCKEYES,
But the Millers Were Not Quite Fast
Enough to Win.

Special to the Globe.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. S.-Manager
Miller and his men played a great
fielding game today, and although un-
able to connect with the curves Of one
Bumpus Jones in the first contest,
they had a busy time with the ash in
the second. and would have made
tie of the game but for muff by
Tacks Parrott in the ninth inning. A
big Sunday crowd was out, and they
saw some of the most sensational
fielding ever witnessed on any
ground. In the first game Arthur Ball
made a hard running catch and then
threw unerringly to the plate, cutting
off a man who attempted to score
from third, while Charley Frank did
similar trick in the same game.
Kuehne put UP a wonderful game at
short field, his one error being on
hard chance and not proving costly,
while the only other misplay was Mil
ler's throw to second when no one was
covering the base. Phillip was hit
hard in the fifth inning, when six hits
for total of ten bases, together with
a base on balls, netted Columbus five
runs and the game. After that the
MillerS had many man on bases. but
could not hit Jones. and scored but
once, when Miller, Letcher and Deadv
hit safely, the captain scoring.
Crooks hitting was a feature as the
King secured two doubles and a single.
The Millers drove two pitchers to the
woods in the second game, but I'M
fortunately the Senators were doing
similar business with the stick as
F'iggemeiers curves seemed to be to
their liking, as he was found for
fifteen hits and a total of twenty
eighth bases. In the second game
Lattimer was sent behind the bat and
Miller went to right field, playing Ball
on the bench The new catcher made
a good showing, and, although he
made one bad throw to second, it cut
no figure in the score. Two singles,
two doubles and a triple off Wolters in
the third sent him to the stable. Then
Dinsmore was raped all over the lot
until the ninth, when Butler batted
for the pitcher and thus forced Keener
to finish out the game. The batting
of McGarr and Miller and the fielding
of Crooks and Roat were features

Of the National league, they are not remem-

eleven batsmen faced him, of whom eight
made line hits, including two singles, four
ttwo-basers and two triples, a total Of sixteen
bases on clean hitting, earning seven runs,
because no chances were offered to make
errors, and none were made. In spite of this
terrific punishment the veteran remained in
the nine, and the first two men to face him in
the next inning hit him for single, double
and another earned run. Thus thirteen bats
men in succession had made a total of TWEEN
ty-one bases on clean hitting and earned
runs. But right there came the change.
Young all at once got control. The next
three foes were retired, and net another run
during the remainder of the game did the
New Workers get off his delivery. To make
his triumph the more marked, the nine be-
hind him batted out enough runs to overcome
the lead of eight. 1t is doubtful whether any

such rally after an attack like that
