Marshall County.

Marshall county, Of which Warren
is the county seat, is situated in the
heart Of the famous Red River valley
of Minnesota, which is the bread bas-
ket of the world. This great valley,
which scientists tell us once formed
the basin Of lake Agassiz, in remote
ages, possesses a soil, deep alluvial
deposit, that surpasses in fertility
that Of the 4! famous valley Of the Nile.
The county is Of rectangular Shape,
u miles by 25t, and, according to
the report in the geological survey,
contains I675.04 square miles, OF
], ,O72, ,025.6 acres. The surface is
quite even. The streams in the west
ern portion Of the county are Snake,
Middle and Tamarack rivers, flowing
in westerly direction into Red River
of the North, their banks fringed
with narrow strips Of timber. In the
eastern portion the principal stream
is Thief river: flowing southwest into
Red Lake river. Thief lake with an
area Of about nine square miles, Mud
lake five or six, Elm lake about one
square mile, are also found in the
eastern part. Numerous scattered
groves Of timber are found in that
portion east Of the Great Northern
railway I 81 The highest portion. IS near
Thief Lake, about l,175 feet above
the sea. Warren is 853 feet above
sea level, Argyle S45, Stephen 827,

Public Library.

z -
Horace Mann. the father of popa-
lar . luc ttion, said many years age
that "A public library ia a town is
as necessary as the little red school
house." That the people of Warren,
old or young, shall not want facilities
for storing ttheir minds with useful
knowledge, a free public library has
been established in connection with
the High School. Upwards of
thousand volumes, in all depart
men's of literature historical. bio
graphical, scientific are on the
shelves. and new ones are being add
ed from time to time.

In The Deserted Village, and the al
l,lsion would have applied not to a
forlorn and deserted place, but to d
live, busting, progressive and pros
porous town. It is not our purpose
nor is it possible in this brief article
:te give an exhaustive description of
Warren and surrounding country,
bnt rather in a few rapid pen sketch
es to set forth some facts, which it is
hOped, will enable the reader to form
. fairly accurate idea of the resources
and advantages and kind of people
we have here. If this sketch will
contribute little to that end, it's OBJ
j1ct will have been attained.
Warren, the county seat of Mar
shall county, is a thrifty city of 1900
Inhabitants. Il was organized as q
village in 1879, only twenty years
A@p.. In 1891 it took on city airs,
Rsving been granted the privilege by
special act Of the legislature. Hence,
Warren is both young and fair. In
the town Of Warrenton, congressional
township 1856 north, Range 48 west,
a.d section 36, is the city located.
'Ehe reason why this particular spot
wss chosen for town lies in the fact
that the railroad, which had been
constructed in the summer and fall
Af 1878, crossed the Snake river at
this point. By the meandering, tim
ber-fringed banks Of this small
stream was the natural location for a
town, ii there was need of town at
all. And the necessity came. The
successful growth Of hard wheat, of
the very best quality in the world, in
the black, rich soil of. the. level
Rrairies Of the Red River valley, was
attracting the attention of homeseek-
ers, and people came. in large num-
bers to secure the free government
lands about Warren, now made more
accessible by the railroad, and to
open up farms. The settlers needed
to purchase supplies Of varions kinds.
and thus town sprang up in the
wilderness. The settling Of the coun-
try, therefore, gave rise to the town,
and the rich, well cultivated farms,
stretching in all directions, still fbTn,,
the back bone and solid support Of
Warren. 1t is not founded on sand
The country tributary to it is the
cream Of the Red River valley.
Warren has the distinction Of being
the greatest primary wheat market
in Minnesota. At tho other point in

Enormou. P.ndulnm.,


The only structures In Japan which
seem to be earthquake proof are the
pagodas. which are erected before the
temples. There are many which are
700 or 800 years old and as solid as
when first built
There Is reason for this and 1t lies
In their construction. A pagoda is prac-
tically framework OF heavy timbers,
which starts from wide base, and IL
in itself substantial structure, but u
rendered still more stable by peculiar
device. Inside the framework and sus-
pended from the apex Is long, heavy
beam Of timber two feet thick or more,
This hangs from one end of the four
sides; four more heavy timbers, and II
the pagoda be very lofty still more tim
bers, are added to these. The whole
forms an enormous pendulum, which
reaches within six inches Of the
ground.
When the shock of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda, the pendulum swings
In unison and keeps the center OF grav-
ity always at the base of the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium of
the pagoda is never disturbed, and this
is the explanation of the great age OF
many Of them, when from their height
one would suppose them to be peculiar
~ susceptible to the effects OF the
earthquake.

A Mexica. Gambler.

Don Felipe Martel, the famous gam.
bling house proprietor Of the City Of
Mexico, had made fortune In the
business before the government decid-
ed to abolish gambling houses by levy
ing on them a license tax of $1,000 a
day. One by one the gambling houses
closed, and when the field was clear
Don Felipe Martel approached the au.
thortties with $1,000 in cash and de-
manded a days license. In a few
hours his place was thronged. At a
single stroke he had won the patronage
of Mexico, and his doors have never
been closed since. The daily outlay of
$1,000 is not missed from the daily
revenue Of thousands. His strong re-
ligious tendencies are so well known
that nobody was surprised when ne
built in the village of San Angel q
church that cost more than 10000.
The poor people of the vicinity, and
many of the rich as well, have come to
regard him as sort of fairy prince.
His own style of living encourages this
belief. The Martel mansion in the
City Of Mexico is magnificent affair,
constantly filled with guests. A curl

Ebony.

Ebony was known and highly es
teemed by the ancients as an article Of
luxury and was used by them for d
variety of purposes.
In India 1t is said that It was emf
ployed by kings for scepters and also
for images. On account of its sup
posed antagonism to poisons, it was
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony is given to the wood
Of several varieties Of trees. All kinds
Of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color. The
wood in all varieties Is heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are the
darkest. The other grades require a
considerable amount of staining to
make them black.
Ebony is Of uniform color through
out and will not show any deteriora-
ton even from long continued use.
There are three varieties of ebony
well known in commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Africa Is the
darkest. The Madagascar ebony is the
densest. The Macassar ebony furnish
es the largest pieces. 1t is sold by
weight.
limitations Of ebony can always be
distinguished by their lighter weight,
and the cheaper limitations can be de-
tected by merely scratching the sur
face.-Jewelers' Weekly.

There has never been political cam

The republican party, backed by the
money power of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
I'd with the victory of three years ago
it will seek by every means in Its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl.

every new subscriber for three months
copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten

A CROSS ON HIS BACK.


Il Was Made With Chalk. but Was
Too Heavy to Carry.
There is story of an envious tailor
current with the French peasantry. He
fancied that his neighbor, who receiv-
ed pension for the loss Of an arm In
Cured while fighting for his country,
was better of than himself. Both men
went 10 pay their rent on the same
day.
that's lucky man." said the tailor
to the landlord. HE gets well paid for
his arm"
"But who would be willing 10 part
with an arm, even II he were paid for
III" said the landlord.
T would" declared the tailor.
Your cried the landlord. "Why,
man, you wouldn't be willing to bear
anything of the sort, no matter how
much you were paid for II"
n wish some one would try me-"
Nov, see here" said the landlord,
who had studied human nature, "I'll
tell you what II you'll wear even so
much Us a chalk mark on your back

wear 1t on your coat so 1t can be seen,
the condition being that you tell NO one
why 1t is there"
Agreed" said the tailor eagerly.
That's an easy way to pay renti'
So the chalk mark In the form of a
cross was made on the back of his
coat, and the delighted tailor sailed
forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintance hailed
him to tell him of the mark on his
back. Jokes were made at his expense,
children laughed and pointed at him,
and his wife annoyed him with ques-
tons and with oonjugal familiarity
told him he was fool. The usually
amiable man grew surly and morose;
he Stunned mon. women and children
and freauented back streets. Before
the week was up the tailor found him
self embroiled in quarrel with his
best friend. his wife had threatened to
leave his house and he considered him
self miserable and Ill used.
Finally, one night he took OF his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: 'sTherel would not wear

When boy at school. the late Mr..
spurgeon took a prominent part In an
swering all questions put to the class.
One cold day, however, the teacher
noticed that he was SO very backward
that he remained the whole time at
the bottom Of the class.
This went on for some time and puz-
zled the teacher until he noticed that
the fire was near the bottom of the
class. He Immediately changed the
class about, making the bottom the
top.
he then had the satisfaction of hear
ing all his questions fully answered by
