A MARKED CHANGE.

The Simouton building, Oh the cor
ner of Third and Oak-sts., is under
going marked changes and improve
ments. Its proprietor, Joseph H.
Simonton, has owned the property
for nearly quarter of century, and
during that time has enlarged and i'm
proved it on several occasions, but
the present alteration will be more
marked than any which have preceded.
The porch over the front has oecn re-
move, large plates of glass put into
the front, the entrance changed, and
the whole building will be sided with
sheet steel in imitation of brick, and
the effect, when com plete will be that
OF new and modern block-a very
decided ornament to that business
part of the city.
In days gone by the HERALD and
the postoffice were the sole occupants
of the building, then a one storied
structure with gable to the street.

Valentine Keller, the venerable ia
Their of Senator Henry Keller, died in
Heppenheim, Germany, on Tuesday,
April 18th, at the ripe old age of Is
years. For many years he was in the
railway service of the country-a
government official as the railroads
are owned by the state-and for twenty
years he has been on the retired list
with a good pension. He was making
his home with his daughter, Mr. Kel-
ler's only sister, the two being his
only surviving children. He was a
man of vigorous constitution, and had
never been i'll day in his life until
three months ago when he was taken
with his fatal sickness-a liver trouble.
The old gentleman was held in the
highest esteem, and his daughter
writes that the floral contributions
from friends numbered nearly twenty
five large wreaths and set pieces.
The funeral was the largest ever held
in Heppenheim. Mr.. Keller is deeply
grieved, for he confidently expected to
leave soon for Germany to visit his
father.

Changed fxands.

TIE Sank Centre House has
been released by (. H. Strait to
c. Paris of Willmar, and the new
landlord has already taken pos
session. Mr.. Paris comes highly
recommended by the leading citi-
zens of Willmar, where he has
been successful in giving satisfac-
ton in the hotel trade, and the
public may be assured that the
high standard of merit of theSauk
Centre House will be fully main
tanned.
The departure of Mr.. Strait is
sincerely regretted. He came to
this city perfect strlnger in jan
uary, 1897, and during that time
has made troops of friends among
our citizens and the travelling pub
lie. His management of the Sank
Centre House has been the most
satisfactory of any in its history.
The genial gentleman always, he
is the typical landlord as well. He
has set hard pace, but the HER
AID sincerely hopes and expects
that Mr.. and Mrs. Paris will main
tain all that Mr.. and Mrs. Strait has
educated the public to expect.

STAND TOGETHER STRONG.

The HERALD has not only pre-
dicted great things for Sank Cen
tres immediate future, but has
enumerated enough good things
already assured to make the
prophecy a verify. And still great
er things are in sight and may be
had, prov iding our citizens rise to
the occasion, They need to stand
together solidlY and literally. The
period is a critical one. Nothing
unreasonable will be demanded,
nothing that will mot return meas
Lre for measure with interest.
The matter of local pride will be APP
pealed to and should exert its legit-
innate influence, but back of that
stands material benefits worth Sc
curing.
The prospects are good. Sank
Centre is today one of the busy
towns in central Minnesota and
the opportunity presents of an ad-
vance that will make her still more
conspicuous and desirable.
Be ready, be enterprising, be
generous do your share that the
immediate burden may be distrib-
uted equitably and all will share in
the benefits.

Here are directions for cleaning win
dows, which we clip from an exchange
which are pronounced first class by
all who have tried them: Choose a
dull day, or at least time when the
sun is not shining on the window;
when the sun shines On the window it
causes it to dry streaked, no matter
how much it is rubbed. Take paint
er's brush, dust the glass inside and
out, wash all the woodwork inside be-
fore touching the glass. The latter
must be washed simply in warm water
diluted with amonia. Do not use soap.
The small cloth with a pointed stick
to get the dust out of the corners; wipe
dry with a soft piece of cloth. Do not
use linen as it makes the glass Unity
when dry. Polish with tissue papers
or old newspapers. This method car
be pursued. it is claimed, in half the
time required when soap is used, AND
the result will be, windows are very
much brighter

The Power of Shakespeare,

An old Latin saying, Laudant quod
non Intelligent (They praise what they
do not understand), was once illustrat-
ed by an English tourist who happened
into the Lutheran church at Elsinore
one Sunday morning. The tourist did
not know a word of the Danish lam
guage, but he wrote: ''The clergyman
had quiet earnestness of manner and
a persuasive eloquence that pleased and
attracted. admired the discourse, al
though l did not understand word of
it. :" The book from which we have
copied this illustration of a common
practice tells the following amusing
story of a Dutch audience listening to
one of Shakespeare plays:
I will tell you, such is de powers of
de Shakespeare, that Ivunce saw play
de great man acted in Anglish, in Hol-
land, where der vas not vun person in
all de house but myself could onder-
stond it, yet dere vas not person in all

sold Railroad.

Under and by virtue of a court decree,
Sheriff Thorson on last Tuesday sold
at public vendue the Duluth, Huron &
Denver railway. E J Hodson, attor-
ney for the Judgment creditors, was
the only bidder, and the same was bid
in By him in behalf of his clients for the
sum of 100000. Whether or not this
railway will ever be further projected
or completed is matter of conjecture
The claims of the creditors, at whose
instance this sale was made, is almost
double the amount of the sale. This,
no doubt, is a transaction involving a
greater amoun4 of money than anything
else that Sheriff Thorson, or any
other Pope county sheriff, ever had
anything to do with, in an official ca
pacity. Uncle Sam reaped profit OF
800 in this deal, for revenue stamps
