Familiarity with phrase or expires
sion often saves it from deserved crit
icism as inaccurate or absurd. For
example, few people are worried when
they read in a death notice or obituary
article the statement 'he leaves q
widow" though obviously tho tense of
the verb is indefensible and the per.
son left was wife, not widow. But
we find in one of our rural contem-
poraries an item In which the careful
writer remarks, "she leaves . widow
er, two daughters and a SON." This,
being novel, somehow emphasizes the
double blunder, and those to whose at
tention it is called may be saved from
falling into 1t again.

INDIGNATION AT WALTER.
The Large Pine Trees Around tho VIII
j. =. lage ale, Cut Down, aud the
People are Mad.

Brainerd, Minns, Dec, 22.-One OF
the most influential citizens OF the
village OF Walker came In onthe
train today and stated that the
town was not more excited during
the Indian war of last fall. It5seetns
that the people who are interested
in that lively burg were relying on q
promise OF the Walker Lumber COM
pany TO leave the timber immediate
ly surrounding the village uncut:un-
til steps could he taken to purchase
it. When the town awoke' yester-
day morning and looked out on
what had been such. a source OF
pride, the grand old trees were gone.
The contractor had been there In
the night with crew OF men and
the saws had been kept busy; Every
thing Of, the diameter of six inches
had been felied, and the unsightly
tops of the once beautiful forest Gov.
cred the ground. Trees We're cut on
the lots OF Capt. Mercer and County
Attorney Hartshorn, and the latter
will institute a suit to recover,
claiming damages to the amount OF
$500. ...
Threats OF shooting were freely
made, and one indignant citizen ap-
peared with his gun and said:" Not
another tree shall be cut" This
stopped proceedings for the time.
but the matter ia not ended. Nelson.
Tenney & company were the con-
tractors, with Barnum, sub con-
tractor, by whose order the timber
was cut. The opinion is freely ex-
pressed here that the cutting OF this
timber will prove to be- q death
blow to Walker.

Comptroller OF the Currency Dawes in

that the country is short Of money to do
its business and ought to have more, q
fact which was strongly pointed out by
thu opposition in 1896, but which was az
strenuously denied by the republicans.
Mr.. Dawes not only admits the fact but
would go TO the extreme OF allowing the
the banks to furnish the needed money
and tar them less to encourage them to
do it. In other words allow the banks
to make money at the expense OF the
psople. Now the question comes home

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The presi.
dents annual message is practically
completed and ready for transmission
to congress when it is assemblies next

long, on account of the numerous and
important topics it discusses. The por-
tions Of the message treating of differ

printer as they have been finished, and
proofs have been submitted for revi-
sion. 1t is not certain the message will
be sent to congress next Monday. 1t is
customary TO send it on the day of the
assembling of congress, but as the death
of the vice president makes it certain
that the senate will adjourn immedi-
ately out Of respect to his memory. it
is not unlikely that the message will
be withheld until Tuesday. In the
house the adjournment will only be de.

several of the members expressed the
opinion that it was an unusually strong

Protests. which cable dispatches from

Of a civil government in Cuba were in

Of these protests, however, have been

Secretary Root said in answer to a

no immediate intention Of establishing

however, must only be taken to mean
that no decision has yet been reached
concerning the appointment Of a civil
governor which has been under consid-
