GOOD ROADS,

Elsewhere will be found a brief
outline of the constitutional amend
ment providing for good roads.
There is no question but this i'm
provement of roads means more in
wealth and comfort to the farming
community than any other single
proposition now before the country.
This amendment provides for
state aid according to a plan SINH
lar to that which was adopted sew
eral years ago in New Jersey,
where it has proven very satlstac-
tory indeed. BY this proposed
amendment the legislature is au-
thorized to establish a state road
and bridge fund>and provide for a
state highway commission, whose
members must serve without COM
pensation, and which shall have
general supervision of the eXpendi-
ture of the state road and bridge
fund. This amendment does not
contemplate that the state shall
actually construct any wagon
roads, but that it shall contribute
not to exceed one-third of the cost
of any road, the other two-thirdS to
be paid by the locality where the
road is built. The actual ConStruc-
ton of the road so built is to be
under the immediate supervision
Of the local authorities, the state
commission simply determining, in
a general way, what the character
of the road shall be and requiring,
before the state pays any money
for the Improvement, that the road
shall be constructed according to
plans which it has approved.

w. F. Don ohue, of MeIrose, who
has been a resident of Stearns
county only a very short time, is
very presumptuous in asking for
the high honor Of representing this
district in the legislature. He has
no claims whatever upon the dis
trict. What the district demands
is the services of man whose
every interest has been thrown
with the district long enough to
know its desires and demands. b.
IA. Anderson has grown up within
the district, has been in active
business and in practical farming
in it for years. Elect him.

The Towne press throughout this

is expected that he too will have the
honorary degree OF "honest" con-
ferwed upon him by the university of

he is as good a republican as he ever
was, and that is probably true. He

his own words, as reported IN his

PECULIAR RESOLUTIONS.

The democrats of this senatorial
district, in convention assembled
at Melrose, adopted a series OF
resolutions which are freshly
unique. One of them is as follows
Resolved, That under the long rule
of the republican party in this state,
abuses have grown SO many and great
! that in order that they shall be cor
rected, it is necessary that that party
be thrown completely out OF power,
+ since they have long since ceased Ine
endeavors to reform, and we simply
exist to apologize for the rank injus.
tice perpetuated upon the people.
In fact, the whole set of resolu.
tions are sort of an apology, but
it was hardly expected that the
convention would declare that II
l.lsimpIy exists to apologize.

of commissioner are arduous and
often intricate, demanding good

integrity. His experience is worth

Auditor Dunn's Record.

State Auditor Dunn has given the
PEG ole of the state a good honest ad-
ministration of his Office, and there is
scarcely month passes that he does
not save the state more than his salary
amounts to many times over. The
latest effort of his has been successful
also. He has all along contended that
the swamp lands granted to the Little
Falls & Dakota railroad has never
been earned and refused to deed the
lands to the company. Attorney Gen
eral Childs and the commission ap'
pointed by the legislature have render
ed decision sustaining Mr.. Dunn.
Over 100, 200 acres are thus saved tc
the state by the action of our present
efficient auditor. His predecessors
have questioned the right OF the com
pany to the lands. The people OF the
state will doubtless return Mr.. Dunr

majority ever given a candidate il

USES FOR WROUGHT IRON.

The adaptability Of wrought iron
work to interior decoration seems now
to be both understood and appreciated
if we are to judge from the extreme
beauty of many of the designs and the
skillful manner in which they are APP
piled to very various uses. 1t gives a
bold handsome effect without in any
way becoming obtrusive or aggressive,
as is the case with other metal work,
and may be employed for the simplest
purposes, as, for instance, the handles,
finger plates and hinges of doors, stair
rods, tenders, fire irons, etc.
What could be in better taste than
wrought-iron electric fitting or lamp
for hall, dining room and library? An
oak sideboard, with hinges and handles
of wrought iron, or a bedroom suite
treated in like manner, has quaint,
uncommon effect, while a door gains
immensely in appearance by having
panels of wrought iron. If an entrance
door is treated in this way wise ar
rangement is to have the glass behind
the panel made to open inward, ike
a easement window, and then, by leav-
ing it open occasionally, the house can
be most efficiently ventilated.
In hall, where it is sometimes nee
essary to have portion divided by
curtains, an archway of wrought iron
has much more telling effect than the
usual arrangement of woodwork, and
when draped with rich velvet portieres
it makes an extremely handsome fea-
ture.
The curbs and fire-irons in iron are
specially designed to suit the various
styles of furniture and, being durable
and easily kept in order, they are nat
urally becoming deservedly popular.

No Indemnity for Armenia's Horrors.
Turkey has again sounded defiance
to Europe in repudiating absolutely all
responsibility for losses occasioned by
the Armenian massacres and refusing
in consequence to consider any claims
for indemnity. The United States,
Great Britain, France and Italy were
directly concerned in the massacres
because of their missionary interests.
and each government demanded rep

In the present STATE Of European af-
fairs it would be impossible to secure
a union of interests to exert a pres

certain that no coercive action will be
taken on this blunt refusal. 1t is to
be noted that since Great Britain and
Russia became seriously involved in
their respective Chinese interests Tur-

HER CHARM LACKED POTENCY.
Mother Used Unique but Vain Means
tc Keep Two Lovers Apart.

SPRINGFIELD, O., jan .29.-The
Zook-Robey seduction suit here TODAY
brought to light a remarkable story of
the means resorted to by Mrs Robey.
mother Of the defendant, to cure her son
of his infatuation for Miss Zook. The
case was settled by the agreement that
young Robey should pay the prospec-
tive mother 500. After this conclusion
of the legal proceedings MS Robey con-
hded to the court the details of her
connection with the affair. She said
that she had done all she could to keep
the couple separated from the start to
avoid trouble, and that she had gone
to the extreme limit of her ability in
that direction. by taking from her err
ing sons pocket money with which she
purchased from Mrs. Brody, an old
c0lored woman, the secret of the Egyp-
tan charm for keeping lovers apart.
This charm, Mrs. Robey explained. con-
sisted in a potion prepared by taking
either pair of socks belonging to the
man or pair Of stockings belonging
to the girl, and boiling them in a quart
Of water. 1t was necessary to make
the charm effective that the hosiery
should have been worn for some time
directly previous to the boiling process.
The beverage once prepared it was of
vital importance that the lover to be
treated should drink it while it was still
hot. This decoction the mother CAREFUL
ly prepared and forced her son to drink.
but because of some oversight on her
part, which she can't recall, the charm
failed to work and the suit was begun
by the distressed young woman in the
case
