The Royalton Banner feels call

that the Banner felt it necessary
to give some excuse for such .
convention. And the explanation
was really q COED one, considering
all the circumstances.

The senate decides to allow the

course, many Democrats voted
against it. Their favorite plan is
to issue bonds in time of peace,
and make fiat money in time of

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

The State Republican League is
planning for complete organ
ization in all parts of Min esota,
and it has been urged by the state
organization that q league conven.
ton be held IN each county on the
date Of the coming county conven'
tions-June %. The League
county convention is to meet at
the same place az the Republican
county convention, and just after
the adjournment Of the latter.
In a circul.r letter to Morrison
county Republicans, the secretary
of the state Republican League,
Fred s. Bryant, Of st. Poul, says:
II enclose copy Of Constitution
of the "re-organized" State Repub.
lican League, also copy of "Call'
for County League convention,
which will be held in your county,
as we'll as in all other counties in
the state on June 23rd TO reor.
ganize each county. Mr.. I. W.
Bouck, of Royalton, will serve as
acting county League president of
your county, to 'call the above
county League convention and to
organize the League clubs in each
election district before the county
convention"
The call which it is proposed the
acting county president shall.pub-
lish, contains the following:
At this convention the new
county League constitution will
be ado opted, and officers elected for
ensuing year as fellows: Presi.
dent, secretary and treasurer for
this county League and similar
officers for each Of the five county
commissioners districts in this
county and same for each city
(having two or more wards) and
for each ward of such city in this
county.
Delegates are to be sent as fol.
lows:
For each Republican club in
each township, village or city
election district(or precinct) one
delegate, and one additional dele.
gate for each ten club members
and in addition the president,
secretary and treasurer of such
clubs are to be delegates ex.officio.
In any election district where
no club is organized four delegates
are to be selected.
Delegates who cannot be pres.
ent are requested to send one to
represent them with proxy.
Mail lists of delegates as soon as
possible to the undersigned.
The league convention will be
held at the same place and date as
regular county convention which
will select delegates to the state
convention, and will meet imme.
diately after the latter convention.
The suggestion of the organiza-
ton should be carefully consi-
dered by the Republicans of Nor
rison county. For several years
past the league has not been q live
force in Morrison county, and the
attitude of tho Republicans at this
proposed county league convention
will determine it's future. Under
proper organization the League
would be of great benefit to the
party and its nominees. Fred B.
Wright, president of the State
Republican League, states that he
will soon visit the county, and
meet as many Republicans as pos.
sible, with view to :arouslng in
terest in the matter.

in wireless te'egraphy have been mad e
by Prof. Slaby, who has been able t"

miles. using two balloons filed with
hydrogen to elevate the end conductors
LOCO feet in the air. In this way he
was able to transmit signals seve 1ty
times the length rof his electric base
line. Frof. S. P. Thompson, who spoke
of these experiments before a British
society, stated that in his opinion it
was impossible to develop the conduc-
ton or the induction methods of wire
ess telegraphy so as TO communicate
between England and India at far less
cost than would be necessary with tn
employment of submarine cables. He
was doubtful whether the wave RE

such a.case, as the curvature of the
earth would interfere with the propa.
cation of the electric waves.

Steel Sleepers for Railways.
ON the Railroad Gazette.

From an aaticle in 1.-The London
Railway Engineer" by J. w. Post, OF
the Netherland State Railroad. it ap-
pears that the Gothard Railroad com
pany, OF Switzerland, now b - 20 per
cent. Of its main track laid with iron
or steel sleepers. Including siue
racks, the company has 440, 900 meta
sleepers which is equal to nearly two
I'll irds of the whole. This company
began using metallic sleepers sixteen
years ago, and has carefully watched
the records of those put in.
The road is crooked, and has long
tunnels and steep grades. The aver
age weight of metal sleepers now being
laid 10 1853 pounds, which is the result
of a gradual increase from an average
of ITO pounds in 1887. The ties are
now made s feet 10 inches long, whic b
is one foot longer than was customary
At the beginning. The cost of q new
mild-stsel sleeper of 1853 pounds, with
fastenings, is 81 90, but in renewals
this cost is diminished by the value of
old material, go that eventually the
net cost will be a little less than that
length, cost 81 .68 each, Including plates
and spikes.
After the first two years the cost of
keeping the track in order is decid cd
ly lower with metal than with wooden
sleepers, and the lateral displacement
of the track on curves is less. The
lighter sleepers formerly used develop
ed some failures on account of cracks
in the corners of the punched bolt
holes, but tn. re has been no troub e
with the later designs. Mr.. Post notes
that me0al sleepers with drilled holes,
used in Holland, show no trace of ifs
sures. In long tunnels the steel sleep
ers rust, so that they last only about
eight or ten years, and on taugents in
long tunnels wooden sleepers are still
used.
Even il steel sleepers were not more
economical than wooden, the Gothard
company would deem it necessary to
use them on account of safety, at least
on curves. Mr.. Post expects that, ex-
cept in tunnels, steel sleepers will last
as long as the rails, and he mentions
10000 iron sleepers now in the track o.
the Netherland State railroad which
were laid in 1865, and which, though
of a type now considered poor, are in
such good condition that the oak
blocks between the sleeper and the
rail are being replaced by cast-iror
blocks.

Uses For LIQUID Air.

Letter in The American Machinist.
By means of liquid air the effect oil
temperature upon metals can be
STUD ed with ease, and it is seen
That t. mperature has q great deal to
do with ductility, tenacity and hard
ness. When subjected to very low
temperatures the colors of many
most brilliantly colored salts become
Yearly white when brought to the tenn
perature Of-19I degrees G. Again, it
has become possible to test the theory
of the electrical conducfivity of metals
at very low temperatures and to verify
the laws which before were largely has
ed upon theoretical considerations and
'ests between comparatively high
mits.
All these, however, are laboratory
experiments. But would not any one
of them justify the thought and work
which have been devoted to the pro
duction of liquid air?
In the line of the practical applica-
tion of liquid air little has been done,
but the pos bilities seem great. When
drawn from the machine the liquid is
com posed Of MECHANICAL mixture of
oxygen and nitrogen In the pro-
portions of about ] to ). AS the
boiling point of oxygen is slightly
higher than of nitrogen, the latter
evaporates first, aud after a
few hours exposure the remaining
liquid contains about 10 per cent of OK
ygen. There seems to be no reason
why this liquid should not be expaude
into cylinders, and then used for the
oxy hydrogen light and other CONNER
cial purposes, where it would compare
very fayorably in purity which gas
now prepared by chemical action. AS
a r. frigerant the. liquid will probably
have wide field, the appa-
ratus for. its preparations being
very simple ahd requiring little
atteution.. Its 'use as, means OF
transporting energy has hHen from the
first one of the. problems t. DE work ed
out, and while nothing definite has
been determi ned in this line, yet it is
believed by persons who are as cap
able of giving judgment as any that

THAT consideration doesn't always

when young fellow was promoted in

Wherever he went there was an ova-

EXERCISING A DEMON.
A Sensational Ceremony Last Year In
Bavaria Which Recalls the
Dark Ages.

Perhaps the most recent instance Of
this survival of medievalism in one of
the chief centers of modern civiliza-
ton and scientific culture occurred on
March Is, 1897, at Munich, Bavaria,
where a Catholic priest of st. Bene-
diets church solemnly went through
the ceremony of exercising a demon
that haunted house at "a Park street,
in that city. 1t seems, says Appleton's
Popular Science Monthly, that the evil
spirit had disturbed the pious inmates
of the dwelling by grooming, signing
and making such a racket generally
that it was impossible for them to
sleep and was seen one night by q
child passing through the room in the
disguise of an old woman dressed II
black, evidently a survival of che race
of ugly and ill-tarred hays who have
played such a melancholy part in thu
tragic annals Of witchcraft. On re
ceiving this information the parish
priest and his acolytes went at once
to the house with aspergills and cen
sers to expel the Internal intruder by
the supernal power inherent in hol!
water and consecrated incense. Tb'
event caused considerable sensation
in the Bavarian capital.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have bilious look;
if your stomach is disordered you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are al
fected, you have pinched look. Secure
good health and you will surely have good
looks. Electric Bitters" is good al
terative and tonic. Acts directly on
the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches ano
boils and gives good complexion. Every
bottle guaranteed. Sold at Longwel
