A Valuable Reference Work.

y oAN0UAS NSlCISHCS w OIks&
The Year Book and Almanac issued
by The Globe Company, Of st. Paul, is
the best work IF the kind which has
come to our notice. Complete in every
particular, it combines history and facts,
statistics and general information, prop
erly classified and lndexed in manner
which permits of instant reference. The
statistics are most complete and admir-
ably arranged for intelligent understand
ing. Sixty pages of the 500 which this
wonderful book contains are devoted to
Minnesota, and the political information
is the most comprehensive and valuable
ever published in the state. We bespeak
for this work the consideration of every
intelligent person in the state, and we
can say without hesitancy that it is val
liable alike to Merchant, Farmer, Me-
chanic, Sportsman or politician.
The price of the book is 25 cents,
mailed anywhere, and, considering the
amount of information 1t contains, it is
worth fully three times that amount.
The special meeting of the >Mlnneapo-
lis & St. Louis Railway held yesterday
was largely attended by local stockhold-
ers, and resulted in the ratification of
the purchase of the Minneapolis, New
Ulm & Southwestern, and Wisconsin.
Minnesota & Pacific branches by the
management, as previously announced.
Resolutions authorizing the issuing Of
bonds to the amount of $25,0O0,O00
were also adopted. These bonds will be
used for three specific purposes, viz:
$5,OOo,O00 for the purchase of the two
branch lines above mentioned; $10,00O,-
900 for the refunding and payment of
first mortgage bonds now outstanding
$2,500,C00 for the retirement of pre-
ferred stock as directors may advise, and
the remainder, $7,500,00O, for purposes
of construction and the purchase of ad-
ditional properties as the needs of the
company may require.
The progressive policy of the road will
not be permitted to lag, but the present
year, if possible, will be a record break
er in the history of the road. Work on
the newly acquired extensions will be
pushed until they are strictly in line
with the balance of the system. -Miane-

One Is one, but nine Ia not ten-ten Is
ten. One hundred Is one hundred-ninety-
nine Is not one hundred. One thousand is
one thousand-not nine hundred ninety and
nine. Likewise nineteen hundred is not
less than nineteen hundred, it Is not eight
cen hundred and ninety-nine. The deduc-
ton is obvious. The nineteenth century
ends when the year 1900 Is completed, on
the stroke of midnight between December
81, 1910, and January !, 1901. At that
same moment the twentieth century be-
gins. We have year to live In the nine.

The pope's celebration Of the holy year
seems to confuse some people. 1t should
not. The jubilee year of the Hebrews was
the 5Oth not the 5lst, which would be-
gin a new cycle Of so, but the 6Oth, which
ended such cycle. In that jubilee year
the g. cient law Of the Hebrew was q
socialistic return of the possession Of the
earth 10 others of the people,-this Is a
mere aside from the present matter, con-
corning the Roman Catholic jubilee, which
is borrowed from the Heb ew race. Leo
XIII Is too great a scholar to celebrate the
closing year of great period In the first
