Tomorrow and Friday nights

Senator Somerville, on Wednes-

bill pertaining to rural schools,
which Mr.. Larson introduced into

The Albert Lea Standard is re-
sponsible for the following: The
officials of the IN. & St. L. report
having carried over their road last
week consignment of ten carloads
of beer, which was being shipped
from St. Louis to Manila. If there
has been any doubt of the intention
to Americanize the heathens of the
far-away Philippines, it will now
be dismissed. At least the beer is
likely to produce benevolent as
similation much sooner that bull
let's will.
S. J. Race and wife, and Miss
Edna Race, leave this city for 30
days tour over the Chicago &
Northwestern, the Big Four system,
and the Louisville & Nashville to
Pensacola, about the 10th of this

special representative of The
GAZETTE over these systems, the in
vitation having come direct from G.

While the solid vestibuled trains
of the east, on rock ballast track
with 100 pound steel rails, are oc-
casionally demonstrating what fast
time these trains are capable of, we
would like to say that the Winona &
St. Peter does not propose to take a
back seat. When it comes to a
demonstration of fast running, it
stands right up in the front row,
with arms akimbo. Here is the
record. Engineer j. K. Mitchell
with engine No. 1872 and train No. 4,
consisting of one mail, one baggage
car, one smoker and two coaches,
ran from Oshawa to Travers in just
five minutes. The distance is five
and one-half miles, and taking the
track at that point into consider
alton this is phenomenal running.

w. Schmid of Springfield, last

Gated in..New Avon township. Mr..

of the Springfield stock of goods,
and will soon move to that place
with the view of making it his future

j The lamb had an opportunity to
jerk it's tail about twice during the
change Of weather last Wednesday
evening. It showed lightly during
the afternoon, and about four clock
the weather moderated enough to
cause a thaw, making the streets
and sidewalks slushy. The thaw
continued up to about six o'clock,
when the wind took lightning-like
