younger guests. Since that time Mr..
Upham has gradually failed, though re-
tanning to the last his remarkable men
tai faculties. and the end came calmly
and peacefully as child dropping to

Hello, Dewey!--Have a seat
How're tn boys? An how's tn fleet?
Little weary ?-Never mind
You can rest when you're inclined
Rest on laurels, II you please,
On hero's couch OF ease;
Not, however, till we've had
Chance to show you that we're glad.
Glad you're not now with the dead
Glad YOU had level head
Glad you laid the Spaniard low
Glad you proved a noble foe;
Glad you kept yon're record clean
Glad we made you marine:
Glad you bravely fought and won
Glad for everything you've done.
Glad BY CAD, we're glad, my lad
That George Dewey had a dad
Glad he had a mother, who.
Loyal to Red, White and Blue
Years ago when he was young
Taught him how touring by rung-
M cunt Fame's ladder-never stop
Till, by grit, he gained the top;
Taught him, when he'd won the fight,
How to stay there, on the Height
Glad to see you, George, but-say!
Don't get spoiled on Dewey Day!
Don't get ''rattled" at the noise
Made by millions of my boys.
Most Of whom would lead the dance"
| IT, like you. they had the chance.
Words like these all men admire;-
| "Crdley, when you're ready, fren
Keep that up!-Keep cool, my lad
Well raise Cain because we're glad;
| You Just watch our SIN oke," my boy,
| Note our Overwhelming joy;
Don't get dizzy!-Calm content
| Sometimes makes a President.
Hear that shouting, prolonged-loud!
| George, tn whole darned Nations proud;
| Proud of what you did that day
| In Manila's beastly Bay;
Proud of you-proud OF fleet
That knows no fear-knows no defeat
OF whom the wide world stands in awe.
God bless you. George! Hip, Hip, Hurrah !!

The truly marvellous cures OF Asthma
which have already been effected by DR..

which hear what the Town Clerk at

to the coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is
a habit that is universally INDUCED in
and almost as universally injurious. Have
you tried Grain.O? 1t is almost like
coffee but the effects are just the oppo-
site. Coffee upsets the stomach, ruins
the digestion, effects the heart and dis
turbs the whole nervous system. Grain.O
tones up the stomach, aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in GrainO. 1t
can't be otherwise. Is and 25c. per

miral Dewey and was disappointment
to the other members of the governors
party. Lieut.. Gov. Henry c. Bates rep
resented the executive.
AS the launch conveying the Vernon
tiers came alongside the famous battle
ship the Admiral waved a welcome with
his hand The party was soon on board
the flagship Olympia and the band saluted
them with Hail to the Chief" A hearty
greeting was accorded the seventeen
Vermonters who were presented in turn
to the great Admiral. He had pleas
ant word for everyone, and after review
ing the party Lieut. Gov Bates expressed
to Admiral Dewey the great admiration
the people of Vermont had Tor him and
assured him that grand welcome
awaited him among the green hills of his
native state.
Admiral Dewey ieelingly responded and
said he longed to be once more in old
Vermont, and the sooner he could return
home the better it would please him.
One of the inspiring sights, he added,
when he sighted the Island OF Luzon and
before entering Manila Bay, were the
green hills OF the Philippines which re-
minded him of Vermont. The party
were invited into the Admirals cabin
where they were entertained by stories OF
Deweys experiences in the Philippines.
He took pleasure in exhibiting trophy
captured from one OF Fiipinos in the
shape of headgear made of strip of
thin wood and feathers. 1t is part OF
their fighting uniform he facetiously
added.
The Admiral looks younger and better
than any of his late portraits represents
him to be, as well as younger than he
actually is. His love for his native state
was pronounced throughout the visit
and in parting he expressed his pleasure
at meeting so many Vermonters. An
official Vermont Dewey day badge was
presented Admiral Dewey by Secretary
Forbes of the states committee, which
he said he would wear at the reception at
Montpelier.
Admiral Dewey discussed with the state
officials and the members OF the commit
} tee plans for the Vermont celebration but
no time was decided upon definitely. He
, made an appointment to meet the state
: officers, Col Hooker and other member!
I of the executive committee during hi.
stay in New York. when date will b.
} decided upon for Dewey day. The dat,
will not in all probability be later thar
{ October ~, and an earlier date woult
: suit Admiral Dewey better.
:. The low rates of fare given by the rail
roads for the celebration at Montpelie
will be effective for only one day. Thi
was decided on at a meeting of railroad
: men in Montpelier last week, because tn
: roads have to pay high rent for use c
e extra cars needed on that occasion.

1t is contemplated, as one OF the
features Of Vermont's celebration of the
homecoming of Admiral Dewey, to place
two powerful electric searchlights on the
summit of Mount Mansfield, Vermont s

AS will be noted in our news columns,
the president has appointed Ex-Gov.
Merriam director of the census. While
a large share of the people of the state
will care little as to the fact, that Mr..
Merriam received the place, they will be
pleased with the fact that Minnesota
was thus recognized by the president
with the position. 1t is position that
demands much executive ability, and
that is factor that is largely possessed
by Mr.. Merriam.

Still More Counterfeitirg.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secur.
ed large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious Things of
great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators but
no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
IN the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter
feits when buying.

DEFINITE GROUND TO WORK
ON.

AS was noted in our local news col
umns Friday evening, Mankato has 4
chance to get beet sugar factory, pro,
viding 5000 acres of beets are pledged
No local capital will be required, &C
cordipg to the statement of the repre-
sentatives of the ST Louis Park factory
who were here Thursday. But this
looks like large obstacle to overcome,
the securing of the 3, 900 acres, yet it
ought not be. Over 100 acres have been
pledged in this immediate vicinity fol-
the st. Louis Park factory for the com
ing season. With the experience of the
past season. the results this coming
season ought to be yet more satisfac-
tory, and if they are there ought to be
no troublein getting B. 900 acres of beets
contracted for next winter in the terri
tory tributary to Mankato. We have a
large section to the south and west to
draw from, in which it ought by that
timeto be comparatively easy matter to
secure the required acreage if not more.
A few weeks ago the Window Reporter
commented upon the possibility of a
factory being located here, and said
that county could be counted upon in
such case, to grow beets There is nc
question, from the experience we can
CLEAN, of the farmers in this locality
with beets last season, but that they can
be made a most profitable crop in south
ern and southwestern Minnesota. The
statement of Messrs. Fink and Sukey
affords definite basis for the board of
trade to work upon, and it would seem
that withthe right kind of work'it ought
to bring about conditions which will re-
suit in the erection of beet sugar fac
tory in Mankato in 1900.

Congressman Morris being appointed

pointed the committee, setting forth the
