EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT.

Everyone who has had occasion to
use the Second street entrance to the
postoffice in the winter knows what a
veritable nuisance it is to gain ingles
or egress to the lobby. The inner and
outer doors ,swing toward each other,
and for two people to pass through
the opening is next to impossible. On
several occasions people have had
their fingers badly injured by the
doors swinging against each other,
and no little justified and justifable
complaint has been made as to the
bad construction of the entrance.
The indications are that we are to
have an entire re-arrangement Of the
entrance which will DO away with
past annoyances and difficulties. A
strong statement of facts has been
submitted to the Honorable Supervis-
ing Architect Of the Treasury who
has taken the matter up, and il is ex-
pected that before cold weather sets
in revolving doors will supplant the
present ones. This will be change
that the public will not be slow to ap-
preciate.

ships and armored cruisers are seen
to advantage in these excellent half
tone pictures, which make them seem
to walk the waters in all the pride of
invincible strength. The illustrations
include many war ships that are now
the subject of general mention. This
display OF naval strength compares
strikingly, in itself, with the condi-
ton of the United States navy in 1860,
when there were only AZ vessels in
commission. These were all built of
wood and carried only smooth bore
cannon. These vessels had a compile
ment, exclusive of officers and ma
rines, of only 1900 men.

with other companies. Inc Waseca,

or $2400 premium on $500 insurance,
and the Old Alliance of Austin has a
limit of $2l.45 on $500 of insurance,
making it 81 per cent. You can
easily see which one is the cheapest
and the best, the Austin, with it's sur
plus of $55, 900, or the others, with
borrowed money to do business with.
If the crop is worth insuring take a
policy in the "Austin."

MILITIA co.
ELECT OFFICERS
The organizing of a Militia COM
pany here perfected, electing
Civil and Military officers, and
are now ready to be mustered
in.

A meeting was held at the G.. A. R.
hall, Tuesday evening, for the pur-
pose of perfecting the temporary or
ganization so that when call is is
sued for their services they will be as
near ready as possible, also to put
them in position to be mustered in
as State Militia when the time ar
rives for such.
j. A. Town called the meeting to
order. DIR. Dolan was elected tenn
porary chairman and l.. B. Town
secretary. The election of Civil Of
ficers then followed. DR.. E. Dolan
was elected president; Roscoe Pal
mer, vice president; Russell Mober-
ly, treasurer; Loren Town, secretary.
After these were elected the Com
pany proceeded to the election of
military officers by ballot, as follows:
DIR. E. Dolan, Captain; F. A. Bitner,
LIST Lieut.; JAS. MCGEE, I'd Lieut..
There are yet Seargents and Cor
porals to be appointed from those
selected by the Company. A meet
ing will be held tonight for drill and
to complete the list of officers. The
Company starts out with about &C
members and with prospects of the
maximum number being exceeded.
Those desiring to become members
should lose no time in getting their
name on the list. Many of the boys
regret they did not go to the cities
to get in on the first call, but the
prospect Of their being another call
is very bright, and their desires tc
60 are at a fever heat.

A Letter From the Front.

May Is, 1898.
We arrived at Chickamauga Park
on Thursday and we now camped on
Camp Thomas in the park and are all
we'll. The Twelfth Minnesota Vol.
left St. Paul on Monday of last Meek
and it took them until Thursday
night to reach the camp going at
rate of fifty miles an hour and max
ing very few stops on the road, those
being to change engines, take water
and coal and to clear the large crowd
which assembled Gu the track at
times, and going over the North
western fast line. We were able to
see some fine scenery along the line
and some sights which seldom per-
son has chance of seeing, all the
way from a ''coon gal" to another
shedding tears and weeping of her
son who had left his home to find a
Spaniard and show his patriotism.
All along the road everyone has a
beautiful flower for some soldier boy,
and we all had boquets. AS we ar
rived at Chattanooga there were
three Spanish spies caught trying to
poison the New York soldiers and we
witnessed the locking them up and
the next day they were all shot. 1
have just returned from drill on the
different fields where the enemy were
camped in the civil war. Everyone
is putting in his spare time looking
for relics of the last war, such as ar
row heads, bullets, etc. There is
such change in the climate down
here that very few can hardly stand
it and it is even so hot some evenings,
that it is more comfortable to sleep
out doors than in a tent. We have
plenty fruit down here, as strawber-
les are from three to five cents box,
and bananas fifteen cents a bunch.
The regulars are returning from
Cuba, on account of the climate be-
ing too warm and more are dying
off from yellow fever than from Span
ish bullets. I have joined the regi-
m entail band as drummer and when /
am not on corporal duty put in my
time sounding the drnm. The St.
James boys have made an exception
ally fine showing here, considering
the time they have been in the ser
vice. They are the senior company
of the regiment and the first company
in the first battalion.
Everything is just the same as it
was in Camp Ramsey and all we wait
is orders to 60 to Cuba, but all fear
! we will be left here for a few months
and then sent back to Minnesota, but
nevertheless we have shown our pat
riotism and in case we are called up
on we will all be ready and do our
duty.

medical profession may be a lucrative one, but
certainly doctors life is not the easiess one in
the world.
Tom E. Shore, who undo rwent surgical
operation recently, is getting along finely and,
it is thought, will soon be around again. Only
few days ago, the same gentlemen were call
ed upon to perform a somewhat similar opera
ton on lady just over the state line. DR.. Cur
ran of Worthington was the operator in both
cases, and has the reputation OF being a very
skillful surgeon. Perhaps there is but few
branches OF knowledge in which greater ad-
vances have been made in the last fifty years
than in medicine and surgery, and doubtless
very many lives are saved that otherwise would
be sacrificed to our ignorance of nature and its
