What Did Joel DOP

From the Third congressional district
there comes news Of dire import to the
future of Joel Heatwole. It is said,
and the proof is easily obtainable, that
his party press is inclined to turn
deaf ear to the loveliest Of congress-
men. The reason is not yet apparent,
and the opposition is not yet outspok-
en-. But there it is, and the questions
are naturally asked: What has Joel
done? What important thing has he
left undone?
Is 1t possible that Joel Heatwole, af-
ter running the gauntlet of the censors
Of beauty and attaining to the GER
tainty of such fame as appertains to
the peachblow vases and bronzes
of the Japanese, is now to
be beaten because he failed to
see that certain eXacting country edi-
tors were provided with the garden seed
that is the due Of the country journal
ist-if he happens to be of the same
politics as his congressman? The
thought ought to perish without being
ordered to, but it will not. Joel has
been doing something to his brethren
OF the press.
strange manners since he was sent to
Washington. There has been no ter
ritorial expansion to his caput, and yet
there must be a reason for the coldness
with which the nomination of Joel Is
hailed. 1t cannot be that Joel is being
held responsible for the shutting off of
supplies in the state generally. That
would not account for it, for, if he
were in any way responsible for that.
the boys would have had his hide on
the fence before now.
1t must be the garden seed that they
did not get. Well. great men have been
defeated through petty means before
Let not Joel believe that he is the only
broken pipkin on the shelf. Let him
not forget that the constituent ele-
ments Of garden sass are a potential
essentially in congressional politics
which only truly good and handsome
man can ignore.

nome was at Luyerne, where the remains will

teemed by his associates and was regarded as
a fine soldier.
From all Of the hospitals In ST. Paul and
Minneapolis last night the reports regarding
the sick soldiers were most encouraging. At
each institution the patients seem to feel the
effect of good treatment, and all are doing
well. The serious cases were also said to be
somewhat improved.
