Our Mr.. Palmer is now in Burleson
County, looking after Bryans Trade
interests, and getting the people in
terested in the forthcoming Eagle
Meteor Special Edition. Mr. Palmer
left yesterday morning, to be gone
four or five days. He will cover the
territory from Mudville, in Brazos, to
Mumford in Robertson, and to Cooks
Point, Tunis, Mound Prairie and
Brazos Bottom points in Burleson.
This, with the work that has been
done, will encircle Bryan as com
petely as Uncle Sans military arms
embodied the doomed (now fallen)
Spanish stronghold on the shores of
the caribbean Sea. But this embrace
is not hostile, like that of the brave
boys now after Spanish gore; it is a
friendly squeeze; it threatens only a
bombardment of trade, and we hope
that the Bryan merchants will prepare
to capitulate to the beseiging forces,
and surrender large quantities OF mer-
chandise, goods and chatels The
country is ripe for a big fall trade

Smallest of Audiences.

It was q maxim of Charles Mathews,
the great comedian, and one which he
invariably practioed, that things should
be taken as they come. In the Sand
witch Islands on one occasion he adver-
tised a theatrical performance to com
pence at 3 O'Clock. There was only one
person in the house, but it was a rule
with Mathews never to disappoint ..the
public, and he determined to go on
with the show. He entered the stage
and bowed to a man of color who, in a
white hat, was seated in the stalls.
The man solemnly returned the salute.
Mathews went throughth The entire first
act Of ga Game Of Speculation" and
the man Of color never onoe smiled or
changed his position. Mathews nearly
sent the prompter to him to make sure
that he was alive. The curtain was
lowered on the second act, and the man
Of color was "still sitting" Mathews
felt bound in honor to reward persist
ENJOY Of this sort and gave him the third
act, gag and all. A quarter Of an hour
after the man Of color was still in the
same attitude, so Mathews went round
and told him the show was over. He
shook hands with the comedian, smiled
and asked him what it was all about

Eggs as Food.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one.third Of an egg is solid nutri-
ment. This is more than can be said Of
meat. There are no bones, no tough
pieces that have to be laid aside. A
good egg is made up Of 10 parts shell,
60 parts white and 80 parts yolk. The
white Of an egg contains &C per cent
water and the yolk So per cent. Prac-
tically an egg is animal food, and yet
there is o n of the disagreeable work
OF the butcher necessary to obtain it.
The vegetarians of England use eggs
freely, and many Of these men are so
and 30 years old and have been remark
ably free from sickness. Eggs are best
when cooked four minutes. This takes
away the animal taste, which is often
sive to some, but does not harden the
white or yolk go as to make them diff
cult to digest.
An egg 1t cooked very hard is diff
cult OF digestion, except by those per-
o n possessed Of stout stomachs. Such
eggs should be eaten with bread and.
masticated very finely. Fried eggs are
much less wholesome than boiled ones,
An egg dropped into hot water is not
only q clean and handsome but a deli
oious moreel. Most people spoil the
taste Of their eggs by adding pepper and
salt. A little sweet butter is the best
dressing. Eggs contain much phos.
phorus, which is supposed to be benefi-
oial to those who use their brains much.

saying that Clough's candidacy means

hope that it would drive Hennepin

CAPT. VAN SAINT.

The GAZETTE has favored the nom
ination of Capt. S. R. VanSant for
Governor for reasons already stated in
length, but which may here be stated
in brief:
First-At the present time the First
and Second districts have no repre-
sentative in the State capitol.
Second Capt. VanSant is the only
candidate from Southern Minnesota
seeking nomination at the hands of
the Republican State convention.
Third-He is an old soldier.
Fourth-He is in every way quail
fed.
Fifth-He is opposed by the Merri-
am-Bixby machine which so long
dominated politics in this State, and
which machine was the foundation of
Doodle in Minnesota politics.

THE PRIMARIES.

The Republican primaries for the
purpose of selecting delegates to at
tend the county convention to be held
in this city next Thursday afternoon,
for the purpose of selecting delegates
to attend the State and congressional
conventions, will be held in the vari-
GUS election precincts throughout the
county, commencing at eight o'clock
next Saturday evening.
The primaries or caucuses should,
as far as practicable, be held at the
places where the last elections we're
held, and where change is necessary,
as was thought convenient in this city,
the notices of the primary meetings
should state so very distinctly
1t is important that every Repub-
lican in Redwood county should at
tend the primary meetings. At these
places evil or good is commenced, and
unless every Republican voter having
a right to vote, turns out and casts
ballot for his preference, the evil in
fuences are likely to predominant.
They are likely to extend into the
State convention.
On that night, by peculiar circum-
stance, the school meetings are to be
held in the various school districts.
These school meetings commence at
7:3O o'clock. The Republican primar-
les will commence at eight o'clock
Republicans should be sure and at
tend both, going to the school meet
ing early, casting the vote, and then
be present at the organization of the
caucus. The caucuses must remain
open for period of one hour after
the organization is perfected.

MORE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

The city council held an adjourned
meeting last Tuesday evening and
passed an ordinance requiring stone
or cement sidewalks to be placed on
either side of Second street, from
Mill to Washington, and on Washing
ton from Second to Third. These
walks will probably be put in this.
summer.
A new deal was made on the light
ing of the city, whereby Mr.. Burmeis-
ter gives the city IL extra incandes-
cent lights, at lower price than the,
city has heretofore been paying for it's
present system. Under the new terms
Mr.. Burmeister agrees to furnish all
incandescents lights of 81 candle
power to the city for ST per month,
instead of $l25 per month, the price
now being paid. The price of arc lights
hereafter will be SIS per month, in
stead of So, which is now being paid.
The new lights are to be placed at
various points in the city, one be-
tween the Methodist Church and
court house, another at the intersec-
ton Of Bridge and Mill streets, an
other at the intersection of Washing
ton and Bridge, one or two on Ramsey
Heights, and the others at points not
yet designated.
The council ordered the street COM
missioner to complete the work of
grading Finn street, for which a.
special assessment was levied several
years ago.

With the landing OF the United
States Marines at Caimanera, at the
entrance to Guantanamo Harbor,
Cuba, began the landing of United
States troops on Cuban soil. The date
was June 10th. The landing was per-
fected with very little trouble, guns
from the American ships protecting
the marines in landing and ready to
assist them in any battle they might
have with the Spanish Immediately
after the landing. "A battle occurred on
Saturday night, the Spaniards charg-
ing on the American pickets, and
keeping up fire all night long. The
Americans repnlsed the Spaniards,
and early Sunday morning the war
ships drove the Spaniards uuder cover
several miles from the coast. The
American loss was four, among them
being Surgeon Gibbs of New York,
who stood at the entrance of his tent
when the attack commenced. The ma
rines have undoubtedly been rein
forced by this time by the big convoy
of American troops that sailed from
