SOME INDICTMENTS.

The grand juries of st. Paul and
Minneapolis have indicted several
bankers for taking other peoples
money to meet their own obligations
in the hope of saving themselves,
their bank, and their friends. We
have no idea that they are worse than
thousands who haven't been caught,
nor do we think they intended to rob
anybody. But they broke we'll
known laws that are necessary to the
safety Of society, and there is no way
to stop such things except by making
examples of those who are found
guilty. 1t is time to denounce boom
era notions of life and get back upon
the safe and conservative grounds of
old-fashioned honesty. We have all
the character of our forefathers, but
through opportunities they did not
possess have fallen into a paroxysm
Of money getting. Stop it.-Bede's

At this age especially, the progressive
age, a person has to be on the constant
watch and an attentive reader to keep
abreast with the times.
It was only short while ago that
electricity as motive power was alb
solutely unknown, and today nego-
tiatiops are pending to supplant steam
with electricity on the entire Morgan
system Of railroads in the East, COM
prising over $1,000 miles, by using
the third rail device, which has been
tested and found to be a complete
success They claim they can run
100 miles an hour in perfect safety.
There is probably nothing in use at
the preent time that has been chang
ed as little in the last century as the
vocabulary system, but of late the
educational association has paid some
attention to this matter and have re-
commended several changes in the
spelling of different words. In a
large number of words in the English
language there are great many SUI
perfuous letters used, and the object
of the association is to drop all such
letters and spell the words the
simplest way. The National Educa-
tional Association have adopted the
following amended spelling, and use
the same in all publications of the
associations: Program (programme);
tho (though); altho- although thoro-
Thoroughly; thorofare-( thoroughfare);
thru (through); thruout- 0hroughout);
(catalogue); prolog- (prologue)
decalog- (decalogue); demagog-ld dem
agogue); pedagog (pedagogue).
Such changes as the above seem
sensible, if not reasonable, and should
be adopted in general by all English
speaking people.

TRAMP REMEDY.

For the past few years the question
of how to effectually rid the city of
the tramp nuisance seems harder to
solve than a Chinese puzzle. 1t now
looks as tho Benson and Willmar
have struck a good and successful
scheme. The city authorities supply
every house with meal tickets, and
when tramp calls for something to
eat he is given one of the tickets with
instructions to present it to the city
marshal and he will be given an op-
portunity to earn his meal. The
Willmar Tribune has the following to
say of its effects in that town:
The mealticket scheme in dealing
with hoboes works admirably. Large
numbers of the weary travellers do
not choose to sojourn at Willmar
now. A tramp at st. Cloud was over
heard the otner day to advise his
''pards' not to strike Willmar because
most of the families here were sup
piled with meal tickets which had to
be presented to the village marshal
for something to eat, and the marshal
woula require some work to be done
on the streets before 20. King" the
ticket This is the sort of reputation
that is good for city to have. No
deserving man will hesitate to do a
little work on the streets for a good
meal if he is hungry.
Something of that kind ought to be
tried in Morris.

was started upon its rounds when il
was telegraphed from Washington
that Mr.. Hanna had moved his quart
ers from hotel to the White House
in order to escape the Office seekers
and even the furnishings of the room
alleged to have been assigned to him
in the White House were described
under the name of the "Prince OF
Wales room" 1t is needless to say
to sensible people that Senator Han
ma has not moved tothe White House
and has no intention of doing 80, al
though he reserves the right to visit
his old friends, Maj. and Mrs. McKin
ley, just as often as he pleases and
they find it convenient and pleasant
to receive him. The object Of this
story was to make it appear that SEN
ator Hanna was trying to run away
from the Republicans who wish to
see him in the interest of their appli-
cations for Office. Exactly the re-
verse is true. No man in Washing
ton is easier to see than Senator Han
ma, and no man in Washington re-
grets more than he does the impossi-
bility of giving to all the applicants
who are by reason of their valuable
campaign work entitled to considera-
ton. He doesn't dodge these appli-
cants. On the contrary, he often goes
out of his way both to see them and
to Try to help them get places, and it
is not surprising that he should have
become mad enough to say that this
story was "the worst and most dam
1able rot" ever printed about him.

Curious Copper Mining.

The United States consul at Santi-
ago de Cuba reports that about nine
miles from that town there are cop
per mines, having shafts from 900 to
1900 feet deep, which we're regu-
larly worked until 1862, since which
time they have been abandoned and
have become filed with water, all
but 300 feet of their depth being be-
low sea level. But in, later years
copper was obtained from the
drowned mines in an interesting
manner. The water with which
they are filed holds a considerable
quantity of copper in solution, and
this water was pumped out into
tanks. Scraps of iron were then
thrown into it, and the dissolved
copper became deposited on the iron.
When the deposit grew sufficiently
thick it was broken off, and the iron
was thrown back into the water to
gather fresh incrustation of the
red metal. Youths Companion.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflammation Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditlon,. hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
conition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness, caused by catarrh,
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The controversy between the Unit
ed States and Japan is one of gravest
interest at this time. The Japanese
having so recently emerged from a
war with China, and obtained such a
munifcent war indemnity; and were
so universally and overwhelmingly
successful that they have become i'm
bued with the the idea that their sol
diers are the best on the face of the
earth. It must be confessed by all
that the Japanese make excellent sol
diers, and favored as they are by their
peculiar RELIGION who die in
battle take the front seat in Paradise
gives them fanatism which utter
ly disregards death. Then they are
equipped with modern arms, modern
ships, and very good navy which
can perform very effective service and
if war should be declared by Japan
upon the United States, there is no
question but what they would be
very ugly customers to handle. There
can be no question as to the ability of
he United States, with its money as
to what the result would be; but Jap
an is much more formidable antago-
mist than Spain. The president and
his cabinet have this matter under
serious consideration

Ihe bureau of statistics of the
treasury department is now and here
after will be known as the bureau of
foreign commerce. This is an excel
lent change. While we had bureaus
of statistics in the state, treasury and
agricultural departments, public con-
fusion and much official annoyance
was inevitable. The reform will not
be complete until there is one general
national bureau of statistics.

Then huntsman in green with naked
and bloody sword. Then two pages in
sarcenet, each with mess Of mustard,

Such was the plainest procession that

the magnifcence of the wealthiest houses

King Henry II, having caused his son to
be crowned during his own lifetime,
himself served as bearer Of the boar's

by the royal trumpeters as he entered.

The Useful Holly.

If we believe Pliny, the Roman his
torian and naturalist, the holly is po-
tent tree, exclusive of it's Christmas
privileges. AS far back as his time it
was planted near dwelling houses to
preserve them from lightning. The
learned philosopher not only tells us
this, but says that it's flowers cause Wa
ter to freeze, and that if staff of it's
wood be thrown at any animal, even if
it fall short Of touching it, the animal
will be so subdued by it's influence as
to return and lie down by it. AS the
American holly blooms in June it will
be easy to try the effect on water.
Holly has also found place in medi-
cine, but it involves such heroic treat
msnt that l fear the faculty will scarce
| ly approve it, In many districts of Eng
land the country people advise you to
thrash your chilblains with holly leaves
and assure you that it is perfect cure.
1t may be. There it has also been rec
commended in a decoction Of the leaves
for rheumatism and for, intermittent
fever Lonicerus recommends it for a
pain in the side commonly called "a
stitch. -
Sheep and deer will eat holly in hard
winter, and branches are fed to cattle
for fodder in France when other food
is scarce.
The holly of Europe and the holly Of
the United States each will grow to be
a tree of some 40 feet in height. The
wood is even grained, white as ivory,
except in the heart Of old trunks, and
takes an exquisite polish. 1t has been
much used for ''inlaying. Many arti-
cles said to be Of ebony, such as the
handles of teapots, etc. are holly stained
