A Beueficent Institution.

AS the season advances the demand
for warm wearing apparel increases
daily. and this is where the service to
the public of the great department store
of S. Il. Olson Co. is most conspicuous.
a walk through their large establish
ment such as we took recently showed lis
that for immense quantity and excel
lent quality of outer and under garments
The Big Store" has no equal.
The secret of their success i'll these de-
partments is that they make their con-
tracts early in the season when material
and labor are seeking large outlets.
They take every advantage OF these OPP
portunities and thereby place themselves
in a position to command the market
and to make the very best selections
from the best known manufacturers,
who. season after season. produce manu-
featured goods that are beyond reproach.
This is the reason why S. L. Olson Co.
! can give their customers Il clean benefit
| of from 20 to 25 per cent better value
than can be obtained elsewhere.
That Fur Department at 1.-The Big
Store" is just now one of the chief at
fractions of the Twin Cities, for in it
they manufacture some of the finest lines
of fur garments for men and women

In this particular line where there is so
much opportunity to deceive they trust
their manufacturing to no one. Their
expert manager in this department per-
sonally visits the Europcan and Amrrl-
can fur centcrs. selects his skins one by
one in such quantities as to assure tn"
lowest prices and these are manufacture

every garment being guaranteed to give
perfect satisfaction, and the low prices
made by them are rapidly turning the
fur business of the Twin Cities toward
"The Big Store"
We also visited the Carpet and Rug
Departments, which are now under
new management and are winning fresh
laurels every day. The low prices and
magnificent display of rare and choice
rugs, carpets and draperics make these
departments most attractive center for
housekeepers and others TO visit.
Watch the announcements in the daily
papers carefully and take advantage OF
the special offers that are being con-
stantly made by 1.-THE Big Store"

Young PEOPLES Literary Club.

Rev. DR.. Shields. recently professor at
the st. Paul seminary. and now assistant
pastor of st. Charles church, has organ
lied a club for young persons who desire
to drink deep at the spring of knowledge

psychology. biology and other subjects
He has already begun course of lee

tens Of thousands of people whom he adj

recognize in him friend and defender

has suffered severely from the hard
times that have and do prevail. and his
sympathies are with the toiling masses
in the fight for Industrial and financial
emancipation. He stands for the princi-
pies Of the Chicago platform, and opposes
all policies looking towards alliances
with England as now advocated by the
Anglo maniacs of our country. He is
winning friends and supporters by the
thousands, and will, doubtless, be the
next congressman from this city and
county. Let every friend of Bryan and

support.

The Republican city controller never

it was not within his power or duty to

that it shall be the duty of the controller
to examine all books. papers, statements

Ninth Massachusetts.
The WAY correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle makes the following interest
ing statement concerning the 9th Massa-
chusctts:
After he first days fight before SAM
tiaGu. and when nigh. had fallen. it was
apparent all along the line that rein
forrrncnts were needed. The men who
had lived through the storm of steel and
had reached the rrcsts of the hills sat

hours of battle in the cncrvating heat Of
the tropical sun. they were set to work
digging trenches SO they might hold the
ground they had taken. II WAS hard

enough dirt from the newly dug trenches
to form Il shcltcring brcastworli. 1t was
2 O'Clock in the morning before they had
finished. and they lay down to rest hop
ing that reinfOrccmcnts might come.
Two hours later the 9th Massachusetts

came to strengthen the thin lines. These
achievements were indeed welcome.

points against Republican corruption
and misrule were Dunctuated with the
applause and smiles of the delighted re-
formers. Mr.. Gray spoke in clear, dis
tinct tones, as follows:
Fellow citizens, it is not my purpose
nor my province to detain you long
You are eagerly waiting to hear from
one who brings message of patriotism
and an appeal to the highest duties of
citizenship: one who is in himself an
example of patriotism and herald of the
greater rights of the people. The next
governor of Minnesota will address you
as a citizen of the commonwealth. 1t is
| my duty to speak to you as citizens of
Minneapolis, and to say that you are en-
gagged in the campaign of far more mo-
ment to yourselves than state or ma
tional election could possibly be. Sen
ator Davis, in his speech at the Lyceum
Theater, said:
II have always thought that the most
important elections, after all, were those
we gave the least attention to. believe
that more of prosperity, more of real
business prosperity, depends upon the
municipal elections throughout this
country"
You are about to bring to an account
ing the public servants who have had
your votes, who have levied taxes upon
you, who have used the proceeds and
who are expected to have kept at least
memorandum of their stewardship If
that accounting is satisfactory, you will
doubtless, express your approval at the
polls; If It fails in any material point,
you have right to take that into ac-
count in making up your judgment.
1t is the duty of the party in power to
lay the fact and all the facts before the
voters to explain every apparent discrep-
ancy in its accounts. and to Justify or
disavow every act which may be called
in question. This is such plain axiom
of party policy that when We find our
selves confronted with candidates who
refuse or neglect to place themselves in
an attitude of entire frankness, we are
justified in saying that they are. under
suspicion from the start. The Repub-
lican candidate for mayor has said that
he does not know what the issues Of this
campaign are. This is remarkable
statement, coming from candidate
whose platform declares that one Of the
issues in the campaign is the repudia-
ton "of all officials, whether chosen as
Republicans or not, who have proven re-
creant to their trust and brought loss to
the city and disgrace to it's fair name. +"
Who are the officials who have proven
recreant to their trust and to what ex-
tent has the party in power repudiated
them? The Republican city treasurer,
three times chosen, was after his last
election in January, 1897. unable to fur
nish bond. and was Obliged to resign.

that handles volume of business run

hundreds of thousands of dollars every

toned honesty, he stands before the
voters Of this county as an ideal candi-
date for county treasurer. Mr.. Noeren-
berg was born in Germany SO years ago.
He has been in politics lifelong Dem

be considered by every taxpayer his
splendid qualifications for the Office for
which he was unanimously nominated.

I in their stead have been named two men
who have been the voluntary apologists
for the acts of Mr.. Hangar. The can
| didate for treasurer says that Mr.. Haul
gan was victim of bad system of
bookkeeping, and it does appear to have
been bad for the taxpayers. The can
didate for mayor says Mr.. Haugan was
not really thief. but was a victim of
the Wilson tariff law. He argues that if
that law had produced more revenue,
the banks would not have broken, the
money would not have been lost and all
would have been well. This explana-
ton means if it means anything, mere
ly that if the banks had not failed when
they did, the treasurer's crime would
have renamed longer concealed. Like
the northern sky. the explanation is bril-
liant but not useful. 1t does not explain
the disappearance of $4,000 that never
reached any bank, nor the loss of $4,000
of license money that never reached the
treasury. 1t does not even agree with
the sworn testimony Of the treasurer
himself on his trial. This is the third
Reputation of recreant officials

Fellow citizens, you do not need to be
reminded that corruption will flourish in
the dust of partisan politics, that dis
eases breed in the dark places, that the
microbes flee from the blaze Of the noon

of investigation: you will bring It's beams
to bear upon the city hall; you will there
see thirteen indictments against public
officials; you will see a city treasury
