THE WALTZ KING.
Johann Strauss Wrote the Music that
Charmed Millions.


The recent death of Johann Strauss
at his home In Vienna closed the career
Of one of the worlds greatest and
most successful musicians and COM
posers. SO long as music will have
charms for humanity, the ripping glide
of his Beautiful Blue Danube"
waltzes will quiet the listening soul
like the mumuring waters of the noble
river from which they derive their
name. At the age of 6 years he wrote
his first waltz. His mother encouraged
him In his musical studies, but his faith
er, who was a leading musician of the
day, used every to prevent him
from becoming a musician, and car
ried his anger to such a degree as to
entirely separate him from his wife.
BY the aid of his mother and a few
friends he continued his studies. and In
1874, at the age of 10, the Austrian
capital had gone Wild over him. He
was the idol of the hour, and was pro-

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN.

Senator Grue will have few things
@ explain to the people of Kandiyo
county who sent him down as the re-

The above is hard hit at Senator
! Grue, coming from one of his party
papers and from town that gave hirl
such loyal support in the recent elec-
lion but it about voices the sentime Mt
Of the public. 1t will be difficult
matter for Senator Grue to explain
satisfactorily his action on certain
matters Of Importance that have come
before the Legislature.
In this connection it would he in

Tribune thinks, for instance, of Sen

subject that you could hear d pin
drop. The Republican Gazette Is of
the opinion that if Mr.. Thorpe or Mr.
F3ig had introduced such a measure
Ahie they were in the legislature, the
Tribune would have been frantic with
disgust at their audacity.
Does the Tribune approve of the
measure simply because Senator Grue
Introduced it?-G azette.
Unlike the Gazette and other papers
OF the came stripe the TRIBUNE likes
to know the truth about matters of in
tcrest to the public before it defines
its position. Some time ago our at
tenlion was called to a certain article
in the St. Paul Globe in regard to a
certain bill introduced by Senate
Grue, and we're asked our opinion
about it. We of course stated that
we did not know enough about the
matter to have formed an opinion.
Since then we have been diligently at
work trying to get at the facts in the
case, and the more we learn the more
favorable the bill appears. We are
we'll aware that the Gazette and its adj
aerers are iudustriously circulating
all kinds of discrediting reports,
but if the measure proves to be what
facts so far indicate they Twill be sor-
ry that they spoke" Very soon
we expect to be able 10 give complete
statement of the matter to our readers

THE SEMINARY PRINCIPAL.

F.. We have no doubt but that the
board of trustees of the Seminary
knew what they were about when they
elected the new principal, Rev. Soluln,
Of Renville, but in our mind it is an
open question whether it was for the
Dest interest OF the school or not.
Prof. Hilleboe was elninently fitted for
the position, not only on account of
bis knowledge of the needs of the
school, but on account of his standing
in the state as an educator and teacher
of the highest order. Rev. Solum we
are not personally acquainted with,
out understand he is a young minister
without any practical experience as a
teacher. He may be the right man in
the right place but it takes a goot:
while for the people of the state to
nd out whether he is or not, and un-
til they do the school will not enjoy
the confidence that it does under the
able leadership of TIE present princi-

tlat it doesn't make any difference
Who is at the head of an institution of
tais kind, but they will find that in
competing with the numerous schools
If this kind throughout the state they
will be badly handicapped by the lack
Of person at the head who has not
only the qualifications required by the
position, but who has the reputation
If having them. 1t isn't so much the
school that attracts the student as the
reputation of the faculty. We. under
stand that the only objection the
trustees could advance against Mr..
Hilleboe was that he was not an Or
'lained minister, when the fact of the
matter is that he can preach a better
and more intelligent sermon than a
large majority of the regularly Or
dained ministers of today. Time will
tell whether the change was for the
good of the school or not, meanwhile
the TRIBUNE bids the new principal a
hearty welcome. and wish him every
success.

A general complaint is made by our
citizens who attend entertainments at
the opera house that there are always
some in the audience who make them
selves a nuisance by their noisy con-
duct. This is not only confined to the
small boy, but, we are sorry to say,
there are even older ones who manifest
their presence in the same way. Our
attention has been called to this fact
on different occasions, and it is not
only annoying to the rest of the audi
ence, but also very unpleasant for the
performers. If one desires to applaud
a good performance, we think it
should be done in the proper manner,
and not carried on with shrill whist
ling, loud talking, and other conduct
OF like nature. If the performance
does not meet with an approval, we
think the better way for those who
wish to display such disapproval, is
to leave the hall instead of carrying
on in such manner as to be both in
sulting to the audience and perform
ers. Peoples tastes are so varied in
such matters. and while some may ap-
prove OF loud methods, others may
feel very much offended. 1t is GER
tainly disgusting to be surrounded by
a noisy crowd and 1t mars the pleas
ure to a great extent for those used to
more refined surroundings. When
you applaud, do it heartily, but in the
proper manner. We do not wish to
throw any reflections on the manage
ment of the opera house. We feel
sure of its desire to keep good order,
as others wish to see, but it seems a
hopeless task sometimes. AS was the
case at the entertainment given on
Thursday evening, it was disgusting
to see several persons in the audience
light their cigars during the part of
the performance when the lights were
turned out, and an individual here
and there making himself general
nuisance by indulging in loud talking.
Ii the performance was dssatis-
factory there certainly ought to have
been enough respect for the ladies to
have prevented the polluting of the

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

BY E. II. s. EARTT, OWATONNA, MINI.
This little pest OF modest mien,
SO small that 1t can scarce be seen,
Has swept our land from sea to sea
And ruined many noble tree.
But by far its greatest harm
Has come to US through false alarm:
Bugman meets it as stranger.
And to warn the seedy granger.
He opens eyes as wide as owls
And fills the land with horrid bowls.
He's cunning, and he thinks he sees
A chance to get some extra fees,
And so he howls and bowls again
Until he's fooled our wisest men,
Who, in their fright invoke the law,
And from the bugmans wisdom draw
The law is founded on inspection
And many scales escape detection,
And these they join in grand cotillions
For each scale left will make it's Millions
State after state has been invaded,
AND legislatures have been raided
BY bugmen and their constant friends,
VINO seek to forw ard selfish ends
In Minnesota's frigid cline
The scale can't live an hour of time,
And still they want law made stout
To keep the foreign rascals out,
And if it kills free competition
Twill better suit some mems condition.
Now while the asses keep on braying,
Old farmer John he works at spraying,
And it affords him great delight
10 know that scales can't stand the fight.
But he's inclined to swear and cuss
Because they've made this awful fuss
They've scared the Dutchman and Canuck
Till they refuse to take our truck.
II 1 could only have my way.
I'd save the world in half q day;
I'd girdle every mothers son
Caught doing what these fools have done:
Ia clean the trees with whale oil soap
And hang the rascals with u rope.
Humbugs, bedbugs. feas, lice and rats
Bugmen, Beermen, dogs mice and cats
I'd crowd upon some worthless ship
And then Id give it Hobson's tip.

it from your lips. Neither take pains
to pry inio another's affairs to dis
cover as to the truth or falsity of such

some scandalous gossip concerning a
neighbor, hasten to tell it and usually
add something to the original story.

4 NARROW ESCAPE.
Harvey Owens Comes Near Meeting
 Death At the Altheimer Fire.

Harvey Owens, one of the brave fire boys, came within an inch of losing his life at the Altheimer fire this morning He leaned ladder against the burning residence and after securing a hose went to the top of the building He was fight ing tbe flames in the center of the roof, but in his work ventured too far from the edge ot the house. The flames spread around him and huge tongues of the fire shot up from every side.
 The smoke almost suffocatad him Ee called for help and the fremen kept two streams pouring upon his body until a portion of the blazing roof could be chopped away and he was reached. It was indeed a mir aeolous escape. The spectators urged him to jump but he remained at his post until aid reached him. W are glad to note that he came out uuinjured.
