LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
The Steel Range Peddlers Are Again il
This Vicinity.

The Steel Range Peddlers Are Again in
This Vicinity.
-Four OR five years ago many of the
farmers in this, vicinity were. victim
lied by a gang of smooth tongued
sharpers who, visited this and adjoin-
ing counties, selling a steel range
The men succeeded in selling a large
number of the ranges at a price far
above that asked for better ranges by
local dealers, the average price paid
being in the neig hborhood- of $50
The same outfit has again put in an
appearance, being now at work in
Benton county, and from all reports
will soon be Ia Mile Lacs county
The UNION believes it to be its duty
to warn the people against them.
There are several reasons why they
should not be patronized. In the first
place they charge $50 for range
which the legitimate dealers will
gladly sell for ss5. Then they pay no
taxes to help in defraying the expenses
Of the local government and improve
ments and are not entitled to your pat
ronage even if they sold their goods On
the same terms as your home dealer.
Every dollar that is paid them is i'm
mediately taken out of the county and
never returns, while a large share of
that paid local business men is left
at home, either in the payment of
wages or in improvements. If after
reading this warning you still feel in
clined to buy from them, you owe it to
yourself to investigate the matter fully
and any of your local dealers will be
willing to show you just what they
have to offer and show you beyond a
reasonable doubt that they can save
you some Of your hard earned money.
Now don't be beguiled by their smooth
story, but investigate for yourselves.

The U. r.. X. p. and Their Friends Danced
! There Monday Night.
When the "Jerky" pulled out of
Princeton last Monday afternoon it
had as passengers about twenty OF the
K. P.'s and their ladies who we're
bound for Milaca to participate in the
dance given by Milaca Lodge Knights
of Pythias. A squad of the Uniform
Rank boys went along to assist the
Milaca members in putting on a dis
play drill. ss$Stigs =. j.. :. r.
The dance, was a splendid success,
every part of the arrangements being
carefully looked after by the Milaca
brethren. The ball was was opened
by the drill, which was very satisfac-
tory, and then followed a grand march
led by Mayor Wilkes, at the conclusion
oftwhich the sets were formed and the
dance was on. The local orchestra
furnished the music, which was very
good, and the committee was diligent
ID the discharge of Tits duties, SO that
no one who was out for a good social
time had any grounds for complaint.
A splendid midnight supper was
served at the Arlington hotel. The
Princeton people were shown every
courtesy and when the morning train
bore them home they voted the Milaca
citizens most hospitable hosts.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Feb. Ia, 1899. 3"
The following editorial paragraph is
taken from the columns Of the Preston
Times, of Feb. |, 49,. and was written
by S. A. Langun, publisher Of that
paper, secretary Of the senate, and can
didate for the Republican nomi nation
for secretary OF state in 1900 .s 81 .
s A bill has passed the. house provid-l
school lands from five to four per3cent,.
shedding before it in the senate: Many.
for such d law. The reduction would
sands of dollars annually, and corpora
principal benefciaries. Spectators
and not actual settlers would reap4the
benefits of the reduction as the latter
will make haste to clear their land
from encumbrance whether the inter
est be four or five per cent.-while the
former would be better enabled to hold
the land for higher prices, because of
this very reduction of interest. One Of
the really good things that the present
Legislature can do is to kill this bill.
The bill referred to in the above
Langumism was drafted by the writer.
No one was consulted with reference to
the bill save Mr.. S. G. Ivepson, deputy
state auditor: The bill was drafted
for the purpose Of putting into effect
the recommendation made on pages six
and seven Of the biennial report of the
State auditor. pre- F. =. 8 =
There are three reasons why this
bill should become law. First: It. is
a plain business proposition. Lower
ing the rate of interest would have a
tendency to prevent the holders of
land certificates from paying up and
taking out patents. The bill extends
the time of payment from 40 to SO
Years and reduces the interest from
FIVE to four per cent. It would be bet
ter for the school fund if every out.
standing certificate were to remain un-
paid. The State cannot derive more
than three per cent. from the major
portion Of its investments. Money is
cheaper than it was fifteen or even. five
years ago. In 1885 the interest on Ger.
tifcates was reduced, conditionally,
from seven to five per cent, and in
1898 the reduction was made to apply
to all outstanding certificates uncondi.
tionally. Five per cent. to-day il
higher comparatively than seven pei

that q reduction Of one per cent. on the

DOWIE BOMBARDED
Students Hurl Ammonia at the Alleged
Divine Healer"

Chicago, October 1S.-Dr. John A. Dowie,
the alleged divine healer" and professed
foe of the medical profession attempted to
lecture tonight in Zion Tabernacle at Madi-
son and Pauline streets on doctors, Drugs
and the Devil" DR.. Dowie had announced
that he wished 10000 medical students
would attend the exercises.
The lecture hall is located close to several
large medical colleges and the students ac-
cepted the invitation with the greatest en-
thusiasm Only one-fourth of the building
was occupied. Every student was provided
with small bottles of ntrite of ammonia
and hydro-sulphurate of ammonia with
which they intended to lombard DoW1e
when he began his address.
The police had, however, learned of the
plan and thirty officers were placed in
front of the hall. When the crowd of stu
dents reached the hall and saw their way
barred by the police they scattered along
the street and emitted college yells that
were heard for several blocks away. AS
the carriage containing Dowie appeared
the alleged healer was greeted with yells
and a shower of missiles. In a few in
stances stones were used and ammonia by
the pint was thrown into the carriage.
Guarded by the police and lodging the
missiles, Dowie was driven to the door of
the hall. where he was dragged through the
throng by half dozen officers. The stu
dents were forced back by the police, but
managed to hurl enough bottles of am
monia into the hall to force the waiting au-
dience to rush for the outer air. To the
few who remained Mr.. Dowie made his talk,
but it was a very mild affair, compared to
the harrangue he frequently bestows upon
the medical profession.
Bottles of ammonia were hurled through
the open windows and when the windows
were closed the glass was smashed with
stones and the tide of ammonia flowed
steadily in. The students made deter
mined effort to mob Dowie as he left and
the police were forced to use their clubs
vigorously for a passage for him. Several
students were arrested and taken to the
police station with difficulty, their COM
panions making vigorous efforts for their
rescue.
