THE RAILROADS,
The Special Meeting of st. Louis
Stockholders.

Locally, there has been nothing
new developed in the railroad circles
during the past week. When the
crew of surveyors left the heart of
Redwood county several weeks ago
the foreman of the crew announced
that he had been called south in
order to shift survey 1s miles east
in the southern portion of the State,
and that in all probabilities the crew
would return to Redwood county to
make the final survey inside of a
few weeks. The crew has not vet
returned, nothing has been heard
from the foreman or engineer, and
there is a probability that nothing
more will be done this year on the
line of survey northwest of San
born.
The men who have been en-
gagged in unloading the steel rails
and other material intended for the
Sanborn-Burt division of the G.. &
N. W. road, says the Waseca
Journal, received their January
pay here last Wednesday. The pay
roll amounted to about $1,000.
Quite a snug little sum to be dropped
into our midst this cold weather.

Cupids work is done when the baby
comes. The soft, little, clinging, helpless
mite is the crown of love. Its coming
marks the completion of Cupid's
object. Cupid brings two MH
loving souls together-the AIY

mother. Yet motherhood /~
is denied to some women C0 ~
and feared by others.
The fear of motherhood is rapidly passing
away and nothing has done so much to
drive it away as the record of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
DR.. Pierce has held that danger and pain
at the time of parturition were really un-
necessary and unnatural, and that if every
woman were healthy and strong as Nature
meant her to be this function would be per-
formed painlessly and safely. The abuse
of centuries of corsets-of health destroy

Unlike many modern medicines Df.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription contains no

Mrs. Annie Blackef, of6se Catherine st., syra-
cuse, N. Y, writes: "Your incidence have done
wonders for me. For yeeYs my health was very
poor; I had four miscarrla9ee, but since taking
br. Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery and Pa

ment And yet, unlike other inter
nal expenditures, the cost of the work
would come back through the ready
sale of the vast area of its public
lands thus made desirable for farming,

is what he needs to impress vigorously

LEASING f. THE GRAZING
LANDS.

The question Of leasing the grazing
lands, and the cession of the arid
lands are two distinct questions. The
proposition to lease tho grazing lands
means that the federal government
shall retain the ownership. That the
leasing shall be in areas not inconsis-
tent with the best interest of stock
men. That the lands shall be leased
for term of years so that they may
be improved by means OF storing
water for stock fencing to save stray
ing Of stock.
The most important feature is that
the rentals shall go to the states or
territories for the reclamation of arid
lands to agriculture and for the sup
port of the public schools and other
educational institutions. The cession
of the arid lands to the states and
territories is quite a different ques
tion, the policy sof which has been
questioned by many cogent reasons.
The leasing of grazing lands in Ari--
zona under the plan proposed would
he altogether Of great value to the
territory as we'll as the stock interests.
It will initiate the means of reclaim :
ing our said lands to agriculture and
reduce territorial taxation. The propo
sition for the federal government to
lease it's grazing lands is all right and
ought to meet with the approval OF
ali the well wishera Of the territory

THE WATER CASES.

Last Tuesday the water cases were
before Judge Street.
It was agreed between the attor-
news that all cf the water injunction
cases might be taken up.
The Martin Gould case was opened
up simply to the extent of reading
complaint and answer, and Mr.. Aims
worth presented some of the reasons
why the injunctions should not be
granted.
Before Judge Kibbey could reply,
Sudge Street stated that the term
would be open on Monday and asked
if these cases could not be ready on
tnat Pay.
Sudge Kibbey said he did not see
how he could be ready SO soon be-
cause of the amount Ct proof he must
necessarily set together. He would
be ready next Wednesday.
The Slosser case and Gould case
were set for next Wednesday. Th'
other FIVE casts were set for Thusrday
Judge Street stated that ther
would be NO referee, he would try al
of these vital questions himself ant
accept the resp onsihililies.
The cases now ready for filing
would follow along in regular ORDER

Judge Street said that he mad
this suggestion because he did nc

that for the present there will be no

nouncement that there will be no
change for the present will be bitter
disappointrnent to our citizens, but
the railroad officials have to consider
the interests of the road in this as in
every other matter. 1t has been
found that the scedule could not be
arranged as hoped for, as the neces-
sary connections could not be made

The official figures Of tina Geological
Survey show 71,5oo,ooo acres Of un-
reserved public land in the So called
arid states for which water supply
is available, and which, not having
been cropped, and being rich in plant

rigation of producing enormous yields.
Why are these fine lands not irrigated
Because the project is SO vast that

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The coming congress will be urged
more earnestly than ever before to
establish the postal bank system The
reasons favoring the system are many.
1t is especially in the interest of the
people and does not in any manner
initiate against the general banking
interests of the country. The Chicago
Record, which has made long and
unoeasing campaign for this general
banking systen', observes:
Postal savings banks, which would
have behind them the credit and sta
bility of the national government and
therefore would have the confidence
OF those persons who will not deposit
money in other banks, are needed to
prevent the unproduct1ve boarding of
money and the consequent losses due
to insecure hiding places. The
Amen can people should demand Of
congress at its next session aoticn on
this subject, to the end that thrift
may not be discouraged by the lack
of safe and convenient places of de-
posit for persons Of small means.
Establish postal savings banks such
as nearly all other civilized nations
furnish to their citizens and large
sums will be atSfacted from the hiding
places In which they now lie idle and
unproductive, exposed TO danger from
the elements and from thieves. Gov
ernment does not afford adequate pro :
lection to property in all its forms
until It provides means for safe guard
ing the surplus money Of those unfa :
miliar with business methods and
therefore suspicious of banks-and
unable to distinguish the sound banks
FROM the unsound. A savings bank
backed by the government would have
the confidence of every person. and
would attract deposits from those who
are wary of ordinary banks.-Star.

EVADED THE CENSOR
Filipino Rebellion Said 10 Be
 Making HeddWdy.
In Spite of Reverses inc insurgents
 Are rfore Persistent Than Ever and Are ffsktna Life Miserable

Manila, via Hong Kong, Aug. 22.- much more of the fighting spirit than might be expected after their recent San Fernando experiences and Gener- al Lawton's drubbings in the south. After giving up San Fernando with a feeble struggle they entrenched them selves at Angeles, working for several days and impressing non-combatants into the works, saving the armed men for fighting.
 They engaged Lieut.. Col c. Smiths regiment and artillery warmly for four hours, making one of the most stub born resistances of the campaign. In the province of Cavite, where it was supposed the rebels had been scattered and demoraliZed beyond recuperation, they assembled an army of several thousand men, distributed among the important towns from the lake to the bay. After the San Fernando engage ment the rebels attempted to deter the Americans from further advance northward by menacing railroad com munication. Several hundred of Gen. Pic del Piiar's men crossed the Rio Grande between the American outpost towns and threatened Baluig, Quingui and other places with small American garrisons. In brushes between the Fill ipinos and Americans during three days the Americans lost several men, while the Filipino loss was heavy. Of these operations the Associated Press correspondent was permitted only to send an inadequate dispatch, dictated verbatim by Major General Otis. The censor writes stereotyped official phrases and adjectives into the dis patches tending to magnify the Amer ioan operations and to minimize the opposition. General Otis says the newspapers are not public institutions but private enterprises, and the cor respondents are here only on suffer- ance.
