nunciation Of what he termed an at
tempt to cut loose from the traditional
policy of the United States and enter
upon q scheme of colonization that had
proven the ruin of empires and OF ma

and many Republicans
Joined in the Demonst ration.
He declared that while he had de-
nounced at the time the statement that
the Hawaiian monarchy had been over
thrown with the aid of American citi-
zens, that he now firmly believed that
it was true. The speech, coming en-
tlrely unheralded, produced deep i'm

When Mr.. Lind opened his campaign
before good sized audience in Mime
apolis, the notable features of his
speech were his announcement that
he was political orphan" together
with his tacit denial of any sort of aft
tiliation with either the Democratic or
Populist parties; and his effort to ignore
the free coinage of silver as an issue in
the present campaign. Two years ago
Mr.. Lind proclaimed himself Repub-
lican upon all the issues between parties
excepting only the free coinage issue at
the rate of 16 to 1. This year he admits
that the free coinage issue is dead, and
now very properly announces himself as

It would seem that Mr. Eustis is los
ing patience with his Democratic SLAM
derers, as the Minneapolis Tribune is
responsible for the announcement that
the Republican candidate for Governor
proposes to cause proceedings for Grim
inal libel to be instituted against the
editor of the Wheaton Footprints.
i The paragraph upon which the prose
cution will be based was published in
The Footprints of last week, and is as
follows:
Candidate Eustis when he spoke at

said: Minnesota would be pretty
good state to live in if it wasn't for the
Swedes, and if am elected governor 1
will have no use for them. | don't i'm

Byron w. Kings Readings and representations
the Best Ever Given IN Alma
A fair sized audience assembled at the
opera house Wednesday evening to listen
TO the star orator, reader and imperson-
ator of America All were expecting a
rare treat and none were disappointed.
From beginning to end Mr.. King held
the closest attention of the entire audi
ence, all eager TO catch every word and
observe every look and action.
Mr.. King gave a varied entertainment,
consisting of impersonations, and Shakes
pearean and other readings, combining
the extremely ludicrous, the moder-
ately funny the sober and the pathetic.
In this way he sought to bring out the
varied characteristics of mans nature
and TO make them all better. Mr.. King
has the unique and enviable ability TO
pass easily and naturally from one kind
of thought and action 60 the directly op.
posite so that the audience is prepared
for anything he says or does and is saved
from WEAKNESS by this continual change
of program. With all the rest this
talented man unites many useful hints
and much valuable instruction.
Speaking of the program as whole,
it deserves nothing but the highest praise
and was the best ever given i'll Alma.
We can also truthfully state that every
part was rendered with the skill and
/ finish of real master of his art. The
program closed with porti ayal of the
Chariot Race" from "Ben Hur," so
vivid that one could almost see the racing
steeds and hear the rumble of the chariot
wheels.
1t was truely glorious entertainment
and the Zeta Sigma society are deserv-
ing of much credit in bringing such an
artist to this village. The stuoents were
given another treat by Mr.. King at
Chapel Thursday morning, which they
greatly appreciated and for which they
are thankful. Supt. Ely and eleventh
and twelfth grades of the high school
were also present.
