Telephone Exchange.

During the past week a movement
has been started to organize tele-
phone exchange in this city. A gen.
tleman representing company en-
gagged in the business was in the city
and visited few business men. and
met with sufficient encouragement to
warrant his return later for further
Investigation. There are scores of
villages and cities not larger than
Sank Centre now maintaining tele-
phone systems to their great convent
ence and comfort, and once establish
ed the value will be so apparent that
it will be deemed indispensable as water
works or electric lights. The time
saved and the daily convenience is be-
yond comprehension until fair test
is given. The rates will be reasonable
one to two dollars per month-and
providing sufficient number of pa
irons can be procured the service will
be promptly instituted. Let this city
show sufficient enterprise to secure the
telephone.

The greatest danger of la grippe is
of it's resulting in pneumonia. II
reasonable care is used, however,

T. F. McCracken and wife of Ash

surprised on Saturday evening last by
about thirty of their friends and
neighbors, the occasion being the
twentieth anniversary of their mar
riage-t their crystal wedding. The
guests assembled and made their visit
in body, taking with them well-filled
baskets of the good things which only
the farmers wife can provide in all
perfection. After an evening delight
fully passed in lively social inter-

of grooming table, the guests left
abundant reminders of the event in
several sets of glassware.

SENATOR DAVIS.

Of her senior Senator Minnesota
needed no outside testimonials to
make her justly proud. We, who
have known him for years and have
watched his progress and develop
ment have long felt that the honors
bestowed upon him have had re-
flex upon the state. And yet it
is gratifying to hear him estimated
at his worth by those whose con-
tact with him has been but casual.
On Saturday evening last he spoke
in Dayton, Ohio, before the Repu-
blican League, at banquet on the
topic "New Powers-New Respon-
sibilities," and among other eulo-
CYSTIC things, the Herald of that
city says:
No doughtier champion and defend
er of the Paris treaty and of the sem
ate's ratification could have been Sc
lected than this quiet, modest, gentle
hammered man. The careless observer
might have passed him by for a hun
dred others of the alert and keen
visaged occupants of places at the
banquet table in the search for an
orator. But it needed only the first
few sentences of his address to dis
cover Senator Davis to his hearers
as the embodiment of intellectual
force and energy. If any had Won
dered why the president chose, out Of
the United States senate this particu-
lar representative of the Northwest
to guard the nations interests in a
contest with the trained diplomats of
Spain, the wonder vanished before
the irresistible march of his tremen-
dous periods.
1t is Impossible here to repeat, just
as it will be impossible for any listen
er ever to forget, the marvellous En-
glish of that speech. 1t was triumph
of art and argument. 1t revealed the
sure and unfalteripg operations of
masters mind. And it WAS easily the
most complete and forceful present
ment of the administr ation's cass that
has yet been made to the country.

his resignation to the city council
as d member of the Library Board,

secretary he has been for years.
The council, recognizing in him a
man too valuable upon the board
to be thus self-displaced, is not
disposed to accept the resignation.
1t will be gratifying to his fellow

that the council so considers him
He will Doubtless not insist upon

The Editorial Association of Min

and it was altogether one of the
best of its thirty-odd annual ses-

Gov. Lind vetoed the bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the bonus on
beet sugar manufactured in Min
nesota. The St. Louis Park factory
manufactured nearly 100000
pounds, and as the bonus is one
cent per pound the amount earned
was $4,000, which the bill carried
as an appropriation. Gov. Lind,
in his veto, admitted that it was a
just debt, under the existing law,
but he vetoed it that the legisla-
ture might so amend the law as to
limit the states liability in the flu
ture. The Legislature resented this
method of the governor in attempt
ing to force legislation, and passed
the bill over his veto. Bills are
already pending for a modification
of the law, and it will be done to-.

MIR. Sprague Explains.

St. Cloud merchants felt aggrieved
because their assessments were raised
twenty per cent. by the state equaliza-
ton board, of which G. M. Sprague of
this city, is a member. In reply to
criticisms, Mr.. Sprague addressed the
following letter to County Auditor
Gruber, which fully explains and vim
dictates the action OF the state board,
and would, in fact, justify it in max
ing a still greater advance:
SAUK CENTRE, Mimi, Feb. Is, 1899.
P. J. Gruber, County Auditor, St.
Cloud, MINI.
Dear Sir: I am greatly surprised
that the merchants Of st, Cloud should
complain Of the raise made in item
sixteen by the state board of equaliz-
alton. Your merchants certainly car
ry stocks of goods aggregating $780,
0Oo, and on the same basis that banks
are assessed the assessment should
have been $3.50, 900 instead of $3.50, 900.
l presume that there are cases where
individual firms are too high but that
is the fault of the assessor and the city
board of equalization. I don't be-
lieve you hear any one complaining
because the First National bank was
raised one hundred per cent. which
makes their assessment very much
higher than any business house
in St. Cloud. ST. Cloud, Melrose
and Sank Centre are about the only
cities in the state whose assessment is
not reviewed by the county equaliza-
ton board.
In 1898 Melrose returned 500, 900 on
goods and merchandise; population
1000.
Sank Centre, $4,000, goods and
merchandise; population 2, 800.
St. Cloud, $123, 900, goods and mer-
chandise; population 10000. Each
CITY was raised alike in this item,
twenty per cent. In almost every case
ST. Clouds assessment was lower than
either Melrose or Sank Centre. n
If the state board has erred in equal
izing values in Stearns county it has
been to the advantage of the merchants
and business men. For comparison
take the following:
Wagons and carriages
St. Cloud, $13.55; Melrose, $13.43;
Sank Centre, $3.50.
Sewing machines
ST. Cloud, s5.lS; Melrose, S5.l6;
Sank Centre, 1920.
Clocks and watches
ST. Cloud, s5.l9; Melrose, $1.29:
Sank Centre, $6.46.
Organs
St. Cloud, sl4.94; Melrose, s17.64;
Sank Centre, $500.
Pianos
St: Cloud, $65.76; Melrose, S72:
Sank Centre, 1851.
The same difference occurs wherever
it is possible to make comparison.
Yours truly,
C. M. SPRAGUE.

About Insurance Rates,

Our contemporary, the News en-
deayored last fall in its mistaken zeal
to do something for populism to show
that McNall had reduced insurance
rates. It was cornered on several
PROPOSITIONS but finally rested its case
on single instance where there had
been a few cents reduction but, as
was shown afterward, because OF a
change in the character of the risk
McNall is out and W. V. Church, a
Republican insurance commissioner
who does not make much fuss, is in
charge. During the past week the
insurance agents Of Abilene and Dick
inson county as well as all over Kan
sas have been receiving from the re-
spective companies instructions to
reduce the rate Of insurance on farm
and city property. The general re-
duction which is ordered will save the
State all the way from $4,000 tc
100000 per year. This reduction
has been made on the part OF the in
surance companies at the request o
the superintendent of the Kansas De
partment Of insurance. 1t has beef
accomplished quietly, and withou
any grand stand music
The difference between the method
Of the present superintendent, Mr.

How Funston Sees 1t.

A letter has been received from
General Funston explaining his re-
tention at Manila, as well as some
other things in connection with his
movements, In part it is as follows;
81 am here in town against my
will. but accordance with the very
strong advice Of a medical sage
nursing my left hand, which had a
disagreement with a Mauser bullet,
and thanking my lucky stars that it
was no worse. suppose you would
like to know all about the Rio Grande
affair Of April q, which it seems
brought brigadier's star, but it is a
long story. You probably got IL
pretty fully in the dispatches, but as
vet we do not know how correctly. 1t
is without parallel in the history Of
wars as a desperate undertaking car
ried through successfully, absolutely
without a loss. 1t beat anything in
Kipling, ten times over, and gave the
Nights severe shock.
IAN attempt to portray it on the
stage would be called badly over
worked melo.drama and utterly i'm
possible. And this is not Dragging
only giving facts. 1t was worth ten
years Of ordinary humdum existence
to see those forty.live Jayhawkers,
after they had crossed the river on
RATS. drive a thousand or more well
armed men out OF their elaborate in
by firing into them from
the rear. And you shodld have
heard them chaff and jeer when the
Goo Coos turned on them at 800
yards range a Maxim gun, firing
/ 200 a minute. And you should
