w. J. Blakely arrived at this village
Monday on his return from visit at
New York City, where he attended the
grand celebration given Admiral
Dewey on his return from the Philip
pines. He says it was a grand affair
and a trip through the Olympia, the
ship on which the admiral returned,
was very interesting, giving one an
idea of the excellence of Uncle Sans
fighting vessels. W: J.also visited at
his old home in parts of New York

A Duck Hunter Capsized His Boat and
-. '"-- Came Near to Death. = -s
Last week George Monahan, gard:
ener who lives in Brooklyn Centre,
came very near drowning near T. E, :,
Browns, north Of Big Rice. He was
in small duck boat in blind about
80 rods from the shore when by some
mischance he overturned the boat and
was thrown into the water. The boat
had been fastened by poles through
the stern and bow and these prevented
Mr.. Monahans from righting her.
Messrs. Chapman and Jack. of this
village were on the shore and saw the
accident but before they could secure
a boat and reach the unfortunate hun
ter nearly two hours had elapsed.
When they finally got through the
rice and secured him Monahan was
completely exhausted and in few mo-
ments more must have given up and
drowned. When shore was reached
he was unconscious and so stiff that his
rescuers thousg sght Iii Is was extinct but
after an hours vigorous rubbing he
began to show signs of recovering and
was taken to farm house where by
hot applications he was finally restored
to consciousness. Then his hardy con-
stitution showed itself for the next day
he was able to be about and went him.

other property and left for home very

The Country Paper.
The reader of the country paper is
usually very much absorbed in the
daily labor before him and has but lit
tie time to devote to the study of poll
tics, and what he does study he gets
largely from the country paper. It
comes to him but once a week: it
comes in a condensed, concise form in
the news columns and editorial CON-
ments OF the paper, and. it impresses
him because it is practically all he
reads on the subject. He knows the
editor personally, and generally knows
him to be honest and conscientious; he
has confidence that be will not be mis-
led, and he has no misgivings as to
the motive of the editor. The writer
once heard the best politician and the
most tactful manager that the Repub-
lican party ever had in this State, say:
II can pick ten country papers which
will influence more votes with cir
culation of $4,000, than the combined
| press of the Twin Cities with circula-
tion of ,000.'; And we believe it,
The country newspaper is a power, be-
cause to be respected it must reflect
the actual sentiment of the community
in which it is published, and to be a
paying Investment it must be re-
spected.-& Paul Herald. =

The Alexandria Gazette has entered up II
its one hundredth year, and from present III
dications it is coed for another century. The
Gazette. as newspaper, is nos excelled by
any in northern Virginia. Its large circulse
ton in Alexandria and Fairfax counties is
evidence of its appreciation at home While
we differ with it politically, we appreciate its
bold and fearless stand on ali political ques-
tious. No one doubts the sincerity of lis
purpose, and i. is often far in advance of its
party in advocating matters of local and ns-
tional importance. The Monitor bows with
reverence to its age, and wishes it as many
and prosperous new years as it has already
passed. Falls Church Monitor.
