A VALUABLE INVENTION.
A Mankato Man PerfeCts an Improved
Piece of Machinery.

Fred G. Koke, of this city, has been
awarded a patent on purifier and
roller mill feeding machine which he
has invented. This machine has proved
so successful that it has already been
adopted by the Hubbard mill, where
twenty four are in use The New Ulm
and Jackson mills are also using it, and
it promises to come into general use as
soon as it's merits are known.
Mr.. Koke has been millwright in
the Hubbard mill for some years and
has been at work on the improved
feeder for two or three years, He ap-
piled for patent year ago. His in
vention applies to any kind of a feed
ing device, and can be used on any
grade of grain to be fed. 1t is self reg
ulating and feeds evenly, no matter
how little or how much grain is to be
fed. 1t is simpler machine than any
thing heretofore in use.
Mr.. Koke has received several fatter-
ing testimonials in regard to his in
vention from the mills where it is in
use. He may manufacture IL himself.

BOARD OF TRADE.

At the board of trade Monday a
communication was read from E. J.
Nally, Asst. Supt. of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Co to Mayor Currier in re-
ply to letter of the latter, in which
Mr.. Nally stated that as soon as he was
in possession of some favorable and
definite information regarding the ex-
tension of the line to Mankato, he would
let the people here know it The COM
pany, he says, has so much work on
hand that it would hardly be able to
reach Mankato this year.
Nothing has been done by the com
mittee on Manufactures regarding the
inquiry by the Northwestern OF Winona,
as to the location of knitting mill here.
The secretary read another letter from
the company in which it stated that the
matter was under advisement of ad-
ding additional machinery to the plant,
and if this was done would make the
board proposition.
Chas. H Austin was elected a mem
Der of the board of directors by unanl-
nous vote.
Several other matters were discussed
a little and the board adjourned.

GOVERNMENT LANDS

The United States exclusive of Alaska,
has at her disposal nearly 573, 995, 900
acres of vacant land. Besides this there
are 145, 1872, 900 in Indian reservations,
forest reserves, national parks, reservoir
sites and military reservations. Includ-
ing the new possessions which have be-
fallen this country, Prof. Max West, of
the government division of statistics,
estimates that the government will
have at its disposal 1000, 100000. At
the present rate of disposal to settlers
the vacant lands of the United States
will last century it is said. Much of
the government land in this country is
in the arid district and is unfit for
agricultural purposes, but the geologi-
cal survey estimates that hundred
million acres of it could be reclaimed
and made very productive through
irrigation. The amount of lan6 granted
in aid of railroad construction is esti-
mated at 156, 1913, 46S acres. Of the gov
eminent lands in our new possessions,
the Washington correspondent of the
Minneapolis Journal says, the govern
ment lands in Hawaii, formerly classed
as crown lands, amount to 1,773, GAO
acres, and have an estimated value of
So, 5S1 900. The lands are at present
under lease for plantation purposes, and
yield 100000 a year One of the ques-
lions for congress to settle next winter
will be the disposition of these crown
lands and the income from them.
Liliuakalani ex-queen, would like to
have these lands returned to her. But
governments do not do business that
way. Alaska is about all government
land, only about 900 acres haying
been taken up for mining purposes.
The government has not yet collected
any exact information as to the amount
of public land in Porto Rico, and the
Philippines. In the former possession
there are lands from which revenue is
derived.

BURGLARS ttSTEAL PENNIES.
w. N. Plymats Law Office Visited by
UNLIMITED Guests.

A law office is not generally consider
ed a very promising field of operations

Mr.. Plymat's stenographer, Miss Nellie
Nelson, had about 50 in pennies in an
envelope hanging on the wall, which
she had been saving up for eight
months past as a missionary offering.
She also had little over 81 in change
in a stand drawer. The marauders
took all of this money but left the law
books Nothing else was disturbed.

BOAT CAPSIZED.
Chilly Experience of Some Local
Mariners.
Visi Ors at Point Pleasant Yesterday
Given a Sight For Their Money
on the Lake.

A number of people from the city
spent Sunday at Point Pleasant, Lake
Madison, and they were treated to an
exciting spectacle. Geo. E. Brett has
Just purchased and placed on the lake a
sail boat that lays little over any
thing previously seen on the lake. Ed.
and Frank Brett gave the boat a trial
before the stiff wind yesterday and the
first trip was success, as the boat was
handled only under partial sail.
Later in the day, theisyoung men
concluded to go out under full sail and
both main sail and jib were set. Geo.
Day and John Motweiler completed the
company and the craft sped rapidly be-
fore the wind for time. In the bay
out from the boat houses the wind came
in gusts and was deceptive. When the
boat was we'll out in the bay, sudden
squall struck the sails and the boat cap
sized, throwing the occupants into the
icy water, with a cold, raw east wind
blowing.
Mr.. Day was wearing a macintosh
over his clothing, but that did not
hinder him from striking out for shore,
and he swan to the point. The others
chung to the boat, and the wind drifted
it nearer shore. Several row boats put
out from shore and picked up the
stranded mariners, who were not en-
joying their chill bath.
The boat was finally righted and
taken iuto dry dock, and the shippers
will carry less sail the next time they
90 out in such wind.

FRIDAY, MAY 1899.
CONDITIONS ALL RIGHT.

The fellows who talk about the Ding
lev law and the war revenue measure
baing failures as revenue producers
nav little attention to the facts. Dur
ing the month of March the ordinary
treasury receipts averaged $1,675,276
per day. In April the daily receipts
averaged 81, 664, 463. and for the first
Two weeks of May 81, 67S, 1888. At this
rate the annual revenues would amount
TO over $500, 900, 600 per year, and slightly
exceed Secretary Cages estimate of an
uual expenditures apart from the postal
deficit Thus does the great trouble
which the opposition have noticed star
ing the nation in the face fade away in
TO glorious sunshine. Notwithstand-
ing the claims of Democracy the war
expenses have been gradually dropping
down until April they were S12, 700, 900,
against $15, 500, 900 last December, and
the expense for May have been running
along about tie same as for April and
will doubtless remain about that size
Tor some time The fact is already be-
ing demonstrated that as conditions be-
c ome more settled in the island posses
sions which have fallen to our care, the
revenues there will be sufficient to not
o1Iy discharge the local expenses, but
80 meet the expense of our garrisons
there, so that they will prove no extra
expense to this country.
The receipts from the war revenue
act are now averaging about $12, 900, 600
a month, which will hardly cover the
probate expenditures in that direc-
ton. But the customs receipts are
counted upon to make up the incon-
siderable deficiency. The wisdom of
both these measures, which are pulling
along in double harness so affably,
hardly requires any commentator,
The Dingley bill was enacted to meet
certain demands for revenue as we'll as
to stimulate American industry. 1t is
doing its duty at every point. The war
ravenue measure was framed, on short
notice, to meet emergency expenditures,
and it is fulfilling the expectations OF
those who framed it in surprisingly
accurate way. When one contrasts
conditions which now exist under Re-
publican rule with that of four years
ago under Democratic rule, with its
face turned toward free trade, the
change is indeed most surprising. Then
forced idleness abounded everywhere,
now all who want work can get it.
Then loans had to be made to meet the
ordinary expenses of the government.
Under Republican rule an expensive
war has been carried on, yet but little
1zore money was borrowed for that pur-
nose then the Cleveland administration
Borrowed in times of peace. The silver
Z ties have howled about the eXtraordi-
aI&rY deficit likely to occur, but it gives
zl8 sign of showing up. With the
present income and the cash balance of
o7er S259, 900, 900 in the treasury the ad-
4z5aistration has no occasion to worry |

MERIT. MAKES IT FAMOUS.
Tho Only Remedy in the World. Except .

tainly Cure Any Form of Piles.

rhe Only Remedy in the World, Except
surgical Operation, That Will Ger
tainly Cure Any Form of Piles
The study of physicians, the ex-
periments of chemists, the loudly
advertised pretensions of quacks,
have been for years expended in
one direction; to find pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number
of harmless, and in most cases use
less ointments, suppositories and
even internal remedies, which the
public have weighed in the balance
of experience and found wanting;
nearly all of them give some relief,
but nothing approaching radical
cure resulted from these prepare
tions.
The remedy required is one that
Immediately stops the pain SO Sc
we're in most cases Of piles, and
then by contracting the small blood
vessels (capillaries) to their nor
NAL size, produces radical cure by
reducing and finally absorbing the
tumors and healing the iniamed,
raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such
remedy had been produced. but at
that time suppository was placed
upon the market, which has since
proven itself to be the long sought
permanent cure for this common
and distressing trouble; it has rap
idly become famous throughout
the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists
under the name of the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because
its merit and safety have adver-
tised it wherever used. 1t has
been advertised by word of mouth,
from one sufferer to another; peo-
pie who had tried everything else,
even submitting to painful and
dangerous surgical operations with
out avail, finally have found that
plies may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically,
as the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold
for the nominal price of so cents
and S1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all
pain and at the same time contains
no cocaine, morphine or narcotics;
the acids and healing properties
contained in the remedy speedily
remove, cause a healthful, natural
contraction and absorption of
tumors; it will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and
advanced fstula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from
neglecting proper and timely treat
ment for piles.
AS above stated, can furnish
you with the Pyramid Pile Cure at

A CARD.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Please allow me a little space
in your valuable paper to offer an OBJ
lection to some remarks made before
the Ministerial Association by the Rev.
Mr.. Oliphant, and published in the Reg
lister of Tuesday. Mr.. Oliphant says
that the Salvation Army keeps people
where they were before and too often
begets in them a prejudice against the
church. There is where the Rev. Mr..
Oliphant is wrong, and does not seem
to know what he is talking about. The
Salvation Army not only lifts the poor
sinner up and sends him on his way
rejoicing, but is the means of putting
him into some church, as has been dem
Onstrated in many cases in this city
since the Salvation Army opened up
here. The same God that gives the
Rev. Mr. Oliphant his wisdom, is the
same God that gave the wisdom to
Commander Booth, who was the orlgi-
nator of this good and noble Army over
thirty years ago. While | am not
Christian, my heart and soul are with
the Salvation Army, as they are, in my
Judgment, the only Christ-lOving people
who are not afraid to let their lights
shine out in the world, and let the pub
lie know they are after the sinners. l
dare say, that if the Rev. Mr.. Oliphant
would see a poor drunkard lying in
the gutter unable to rise, he would not
like a Salvation Army officer, pick him
up and speak a kind word to him. No.
not he. Another thing: Does he think
his religion is the only one by which
people can become saved through?
According to the Scriptures we can be
saved just as we'll at Salvation Army
meeting as we could be at
the penitent form in his church. In
my judgment, the Salvation Army has
done more good for the poor of this
city since their arrival here than any
other religious organization in this
city If Mr. OliDhant would do
little investigating into the workings
of the Salvation Army here, he might
change his mind in regard to them,
and probably lend them helping hand,
as I see some of the ministers of this
city have been doing.
By publishing this you will confer a
favor on one who believes in doing good
for evil JUSTICE.
