A PRINTING FRAUD,

We trust that those business men
of Redwood Falls who gave their
money to the Mankato Advertising
Agency for advertising in the cream
cry account book will realize the
full value of the money they invest
ed in this fraud. From typo
graphical standpoint the account
book is one of the worst abortions
that has ever been turned out of any
printing Office in the United States
there is nothing in print, there
can be nothing printed 10 equal the
bum appearance of this rotten affair
Type that is antedated, type that
is worn out, type thrown together
without the slightest degree OF
taste, makes up the advertisements
of the enterprising patrons of the
account book.
Some of the business men of the
towns represented realize that they
have been played for the worst kind
of suckers" in patronizing this
| Mankato abortion. The most of
these are patrons of local news
papers in some form or another, but
there are some represented in this
book printed in another town who
have paid from IS to $12 for their
advertising, who do not spend $40
per year in local advertising, send
away for their letter and note heads,
for their bank checks, drafts, etc
They have been long in the town.
They have made their money, such
AS they have, there. They have
seen their local paper spout away
for the interests of the town, and
yet when the local printer demand
ed fair cash consideration for his
space and advertising his picture
has been turned to the wall. They
prefer to throw away their money
on foreign printer than to invest
it where it would bring a fair return.

THIS AND NEXT YEAR.

Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Iowa,
Massachusetts, and Mississippi will
elect Governors this year. Four of
the States, Ohio, Maryland, Iowa
and Massachusetts, are certain to
return Republican governors. Ken
lucky is fighting ground with a
Republican governor at the present
time, and Mississippi is certainly
Democratic.
In all of the Republican States,
where there are contests, it is mere
ly over the candidates to be elected.
The different State parties are unit
ed in endorsing the Republican
National platform of three years ago,
with a hearty approval of the Nc
Kinley administration. In the Dem
ocratic ranks there is divided
house, one wing prefering to drop
silver and make the issue on expan-
sion and anti-expansion, while the
other wing is fighting to keep silver
in the foreground and fight it out on
that line to the death.
These platforms simply indicate
the platforms of next year. The
Republican platform is to have the

Famous HeWins Ranch of 1 900
Acres at Sedan.
Its Park Once Filled With Buff
faIo and Deer.
is HIGHLY IMPROVED.
To Be Sold For a Driving Park
and Race Grounds.
Citizens of Cedar Vale Raising a
Purse For Purchase.

Sedan. July 12.-There is a movement
on foot, headed by L. c. Adam, L. G.
Bishop and James Stone. to purchase
the old Hewins ranch now leased by
Mr.. Bishop. There are 1900 acres Of
this ranch, once owned by Ed Hewins,
at that time one of the most famous
and successful cattle plungers in Kan
sas. A great deal of this ranch is
under cultivation, has several good
houses on 1t and the pastures are well
Watered by streams. At one time
Hewins had a mortgage on the place
amounting to $4,000.
The arrangement now talked Of is
that James Stone will buy that part OF
the ranch lying east of the main high
way and that L. c. Adam and L. G.
Bishop will purchase that portion lying
west of the road. containing most of the
improvements, the residence, barns and
the park, which was one time filled
with deer and buffalo. Now, a scheme
is on foot to sell to the citizens of Cedar
Vale the park and enough ground west
of it, for a race track. Thus giving to
the town an elegant park and driving
grounds and an opportunity to hold
driving association here once q year.
An effort is being made to raise a stock
company of $4,000, subscribed by citi-
zens of Cedar Vale and farmers from
the surrounding country, to maintain
such an association. The grounds
would be easily accessible to town
right in town in fact.

of a million or a lynching.. 1t will seek
to present to it's readers only the sweet,
pleasing side of life.
That kind of a paper will not succeed
here or elsewhere. Chicag0ans and
Americans generally want to be amused
as well as edited. They want to know
something of the sufferings of men as
well as their rejoicings. They want, as
a rule, that kind Of news which the self
respecting, reputable dailies of this coun-
try are giving them.
The capitalists of the country are
aware of this. Hence they will not in
vest in q newspaper which, while pro-
Tossing to give the news, tells only what
the good men do. The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon
tells the Christian Endeavorers he is
going to search for capitalists who will
back up his enterprise until he loses
all faith in the charity and courage of
man. And yet he never will catch
his millionaire. There are limits to the
charity and courage of capitalists. If
Mr.. Sheldon's dream paper is started
IT will have a brief, harmless, con-
sumptive life and then will give up the
ghost OF pass into the hands of men
who are not Utopians and who will
make it more worldly and more useful
sheet.

REV. MR.. sHELDoN's IDEA.

The impression which Rev. ChaS. NJ.
Sheldon's idea of a Christian daily
newspaper made on the Chicago Tribune
is shown by the following from its edi-
torial columns:
The religious weelxIies of the United
States are today more ably managed
and have a greater circulation and more
extensive influence than ever before.
Great as has been the advance in these
respects in the past, there is good reason
to believe the advance will be greater
IN the future. But religious journalism
as it exists does not content the Rev.
Charles NJ Sheldon, the author Of In
His Steps" He wants to see Chris
tian daily paper established, with
backing of a million dollars. He would
prefer to see it started in this city,
either because he thinks its people have
the greatest need Of the ministrations Of
such a journal or because he is salts
fed that a Christian daily can not
thrive in the chilly, irreligiOus atnos-
phere of Boston or New York. There
have been essays at religious journal
ism in the latter city. They have all
been sad failures.
No better fortune can be expected for
q paper printed in Chicago, if managed
on the lines laid down by the Rev. Mr..
Sheldon His ideal paper is one which
shall print no news except that which
will influence the minds and hearts of
its readers to their nOblest impulses. -
Then the news field of that paper will
be greatly restricted. OF course it will
contain nothing about murders. It will
nos mention wars, no matter how ser
ious, unless they are wars for liberty.
It will not print reports of cyclones. con-
agratiOns, and deluges. unless 1t is as
stunned that such events influence NOR
tai minds and hearts to their nobIest
impulses. It will not have much to say
about politics, for that is not a soul
inspiring theme. 1t will have nothing
about sport from baseball to yacht
ing, for athletic pastimes do not appeal

SEEMS A CLEAR CASE.
Witnesses Produce GaIIinger's "Come
On" Circulars In Court

Concord, N. H, July 1.-THE hearing
in connection with charges of violating
civil service laws against Senator ia
cob H. Gallinger, preferred by former
Governor Charles A. Busie1 was con-
tinued today. Only two witnesses re-
spOnded to the invitation of the COM
nissioners to be present at today's ses-
sion. They were POstmasters Henry
Robinson of Concord, and H. A. Spald-
ing of Nashua. Their testimony was to
the effect that campaign circulars ask
ing for assessments for campaign pur-
poses had been sent out as alleged in
the charges.
Before any witnesses were heard,
Senator Gallinger asked permission to
make a personal statement in which he
called attention to alleged untruthful
statements made in the editorials of a
Concord paper and in dispatches from
Concord to a NewY ork paper Following
this the witnesses were called. Post
master Robinson stated that he received
one of the assessment circulars. He
produced the circular and gave it to the
commissioners who filed this away. This
incident caused considerable surprise.
Mr. Robinson then said that he had
mentioned the fact of receiving the cir
cular to Senator Chandler and upon the
advice of that gentleman had sealed it
up and he had shown it to no one until
this time. He was asked to contribute
500, he said, and he wrote to the civil
service commission asking them as to
his ability to contribute under the law.
He was informed that he could not
contribute. Copies of the correspond
ence between Mr.. Robinson and the
commission were introduced as part of
the evidence and Mr.. Robinson closed
his testimony by stating that he did not
contribute.
Postmaster Spalding was chairman of
the Republican state committee in 1896.
He stated that he received one of the
circulars on which the charges in this
case are based, but that he did not con-
tribute. When chairman of the state
committee, he said he personally signed
the assessment circulars which were
sent out, but none was sent to federal
office holders except to senators, con-
gressmen and judges of the federal
courts. At the conclusion of Mr.. Spald-
ings testimony a recess was taken.

Orphans' Home Doc.

There are 118 boys at the Soldiers
Orphans home, and they had only one
dog to go around among them, but he
was equal to the demands made upon
him. Jack" was so popular among
children and teachers that there was
sincere grieving when he died the other
day, and the boys held a public fun
eral. They had read somewhere that
Indians honored a chieftain by throw
ing their choicest possessions into his
grave, and a procession was formed of
the boys. each throwing some toy into
the grave as he passed in line. One
boys grief was so sincere that he
threw away a new jack-knife. There
are many stories told of Jack, a favor
tie one being that the boys coaxed the
supervisor to put Jacks name on the
rolls. When it was called out, a boy
would pinch the dogs tail, and the dog
would bark, which was considered his
way of answering Present. ''-Atchison

In explaining why the nsolidation was

the large quantity OF poor quality granite
which had been placed on the market dur
ing the past few years. It is understood
that John Pierce. one of the largest own
ers of granite quarries in this section to-
gether with Booth Bros, who own the

MEXICAN GOLD MINING.
Reports of Fabulous Wealth Come
From the West Coast

HermosilIo, Mex. July 12.-The min
ing industry is more active throughout
Sonora than ever before. From Quay
mas during the past three months have
been sent to the United States gold and
silver to the value Of 100000 and cop
per of nearly the same value. Several
new strikes have been made and are
already producing. One is near Sagua
Grande where from a quartz ledge 2
feet wide a single Mexican within a few
hours pounded out thirty-fiVe ounces OF
gold. In the Sibuchicari mine near
Matape in the Ures district have been
developed rich deposits. Claims are
made that the entire mountain is prac-
ttcaliy ore that runs from $40 to $3.50 per
ton in gold, the main owners are J. W.
Bryan of Washington, and Marshall
p. Wright of Kansas City.
At Guaymas much interest is being
taken in the new Santa Clara gold dig
gings, on the peninsula of Lower Cali
fornia. A large number of prospectors
are leaving the port every week, equip
ped for exploring the gold bearing re
gion. So great is the demand for burrOs
that they are now held at $40 a piece
and must be purchased on this side Of
the gulf. The new diggings are 12O
miles northwest of Santa Rosalia, which
is directly across the gulf.

against an alleged discrimination at

of the machinists' strike there, against
union men, and has addressed a com
municatiOn to President Mckinley ap-
peaIing to him to look into the matter
and remedy the wrong that it is claim

The address states for the first time
in the history of the country union
labor is in a position to deal personally
with the chief executive of the nation,
inasmuch as its efforts with the war de-
partment have failed to bring about the
adjustment. 1t also calls for a decision
at the hands of the president and asks
the cooperation of trades and labor
assemblies throughout the country to
that end.
