Always to the Front.

The announcement recently made by
the Minneapolis Times that it had Sc
cured for exclusive use in the north
west the New York Herald's special
and unrivalled cable news service Cat
a price which would stagger a less en-
terprising newspaper is but another
proof that it is at all times the leader OF
the northwestern dailies and is deter
mined to furnish to it's readers the very
best reliable news obtainable and to
publish it first at whatever the cost.
This new cable and domestic service,
together with the Associated Press
service and the Times own corps of
special correspondents, places that
enterprizing newspaper easily in first
place among the twin city dailies.
The Times readers can be assured
of just as complete and reliable SER
vice as If they lived in New York or
London. We congratulate the Times
on It's enterprise.

Judge Collins. whom the HER.
AID believes to be the strongest
candidate for governor the Repub-
leans could nominate, has volun-
tariIy withdrawn from the list OF
probable candidates. The Sixth
district was interested in him more
deeply than any other because he
had peculiar elements of strength
which would 60 far toward adding
votes to the congressional candi-
date. Second to him, Capt. S. X.
Van SAINT is, without doubt, most
popular in this district, and the
HERALD is of opinion that his can
didacy will meet with greater favor
than that of any other on the list of
"mentioneds. He is able, clean,
aggressive, true to his party and
his friends, and of the timber OF
which good governors and good
candidates are made.

Seriously Injured.

On Friday last Misses Nora Giblin
of this city, and Bertha Bass OF Grey
Eagle, were seriously injured near
Brownsville. They are teachers in the
Browerville school, and Rudolph, son
of William E. Lee, who is managing
bank at Browerville, offered to bring
them to Long Prairie on their way
home to spend Christmas, their intent
being to visit with friends until Satur-
days train A little way out from
Browerville the horse became unman-
ageable and began to run. The young
ladies jumped, Miss Giblin striking
on her feet, dislocating an ankle, and
so falling as to cut and bruise her
head. Miss Bass evidently struck up
on her face, which was badly cut and
bruised. Mr.. Les was thrown out,
and all three were knocked insensible
for a time, and we're picked up and
cared for by a farmer. After reste-
ration they were carried back to Brow
erville, and came home the following
day. The injuries TO all three were
severe but not dangerous.

The New Hilsdale Block.

It is completed md occupied. If you
have not seen the interior, visit it at
once. 1t is a mammoth establishment,
the salesroom below being 42x150, feet
with left. ceiling. BY easy ascent the
second floor, two-thirds as large as the
first, is reached. The building is ele-
gantly furnished and finish in polished
oak, and the light, supplied by spacious
front, rear, side and skylight windows
is so softly deffused and yet so album
dant as to make it delight. The
three departments have their goods SO
displayed as to make it convenient to
wait upon customers and to add to the
peculiar attractions of the stores. The
Hilsdale block is a monument to the
enterprise of the owner and builder,
w. o. P. Hilsdale, and credit to the
city.

The Reason Why?

There is a very precocious elevator
boy in the P ostal Telegraph building.
In that structure many congressman
and few statesmen have offices, and
the boy knows each and every one OF
them. He knows, too, just where they
can be found at any hour of the day,
and he is generally pretty accurate in
his information. The other evening
the wife of a Western congressman
came in for the purpose of makig a
call upon her husband, who had time
and again stated that he was SO busy
with department matters that he found
it impossible to spend an evening at
home.
She stepped into the elevator, and
said: Third floor, please"
care you going up to see Mr.--?"
innocently inquired the boy.
'Yes," replied the lady, SHE may
want me to help him on some of his de.
partment work.
''But he is not there, so there is no
use of your going up" said the lad.
Nov, I would like to know wher-
ever he can be. l certainly must see
him before 1 go home, for we have no t
finished our holiday shopping yet"
swell ma'am," said the boy. ''if
you really are so anxious to know
where he is, I may as welltell We. He's
down in Cables bowling alley a-roll-
ing off whole weeks score with ohm
Boobar."
There was one congressman who did
not contribute to the Christmas box in
the elevator when it was hung out to
receive subscriptions. F. A. J.

Hastings was visited by a de-
structive fire on Christmas night
which destroyed business property
principally, valued at 100000,
which was lightly insured. A
large number of ancient land
marks were destroyed. While SYM
pathy is extended to the loosers it
is quite probable that ultimately
the fire will prove presently dis
guised blessing, in that better
structures will take the place of the
ones destroyed.

The choice of Philadelphia for the repub.
lican convention city Of next year, by a ma
jority OF one vote in the National Committee
was most fitting in view of the brotherly love
now existing in the republican party, which
is more harmonious than at any time in its
history, and of the fact that the ticket is like
ly to be nominated by reclamation. Chicago
lost the convention by over-con6dence, ac-
cepting the belief that it was bound to be
chosen, instead of hustling; New York was
never seriously considered.

set up and shown with an affectation Of
pride by Presidsnt Krugcr's men. who
were cunning enough TO inspire strangers
by their plauability.
Thus the British intelligence department
received the most minute reports Of the
caliber, range and number Of the cannon
possessed by the Beers but were merely
gulIed by the willy bursher. The real guns
with which the war is conducted, the Creu-
sots and Krupps were so carefully hidden
that scarce soul outside Of the imuedi-
ate circle OF the government knew OF
guns equal in caiiber to what the agents
had been allowed to see.
In the same view It IL thought that the
Beers understated their numerical forces
and small guns.
1t 10 understood that all these things
were told to the home government by Gen.
Butler with the result that Butler was
called diAoyal and pro-Boer and rabid pa
pers demanded his degradation.
But since the war began people who
know the contents of Gen. Buffers dis
patches have come forward and asked that
they be published. The attention of men,
bers Of parliament has been called to the
fact and when the commons assemble In
six weeks, the demands will be made for
the publication Of the dispatches.
If 1t be asked why Gen. Butler did not
speak out It must be remembered thai
he is a military man In high position
and says, my lips are sealed" but the
subject is now occupying the club gossips.
One very clever club man remarked that
the question really amounts to this:
"Is he traitor or q martyr?''
Another said: 'Ts Gen. Butler the
Dreyfus of this war ana has he been
snubbed by the queen?" For 1t Will De
remembered that when the queen visited
Bristol he was withdrawn from the chief
command of the western district, and u
was stated that he would have been hoot-
ed had he appeared Has he been INSULT
ed by the press in order to shield the war
office, which believed the intelligence de-
partment rather than the chief OF the
South African forces2
Some one also said:
Remember Lord woiseley's recent
speech: I'VE have been grossly misin-
formed as to the strength and resources
Of the Beers"
The public naturally asks. Deceived by
whom?"
Recruiting for Beers Suspended.
CINCINNATI, Dec. pm. Pierre Pet
tit, recruiting agent for the ambulance
corps of the Boer army, suspended opera
lions temporarily today on account Of the
failure to receive an expected draft from

have been sent from this city, which is
more than sent from any other one
agency in the United States.
