REDIsCOvERY OF AMERICA.
French Poet Boldly Penetrntes the
Wfids of Chicago.

A French poet OF the hour. returning to
the boulevards, confesses his astonishment
at having discovered in New York. Boston
and Chicago large numbers OF people who
had forsworn the interesting aboriginal
custom Of staying buffalo and scalping
each other and taken to reading his grace
full verse. The poet Is in a goodly COM
pany. Within a short time the most popu-
lar literary critic OF France and two or
three OF her most famous painters have
penetrated as far as Chicago and have
been both surprised and delighted at fnd-
ing that the simple natives demanded their
autographs rather than their back hair.
Instead OF being hidden to eat boiled dog
and attend a war dance on the shores Of
Lake Michigan they encountered nothing
Saxon accent in the French with which
swarms OF enthusiastic young women and
men expressed their delight In Gallo art.
France would not have believed this ex-
cept upon flrst-hand, unimpeachable testi-
mony, for the Greece OF modern civilian
tion long ago made up her mind that the
land across the Atlantic was peopled by
outer barbarians. and as the French travel
less than any other modern nation II was
only by slow process that their ideas in
this respect could be reformed.
The difference between France and Eng
land is this; The Englishman travels in
order to discover how henghtedly unlike
Great Britain the other parts of the world
are: the Frenchman stays at home and
believes the worst.--Chicago Times.

1t should be added-because the fact.
while at present increasing the mystery,
may in the end aid IN dissolving it-that
changes like those witnessed in Lime do
not appear TO AFFECT most OF the other
wei known markings on the moon Al
the time Of his eclipse observation Prof
Pickering carefully watched three or four
remarkable localities on the lunar sur
face, where craters yawn or fat plains
lie extended. but not the slightest alter
alton was observed In their forms or ap-
pearance during the time that Lime
was expanding under the chilling effect
OF The earths shadow and then shrink-
ing again as the untempered blaze Of the
sun fell upon Il.
There IS. however. at least one other
locality on the moon where curious
changes OF similar origin have been de-
tected-the ring-shaped plain called
Plato. This IS also in the northern lunar
hemisphere, about 500 miles from Lime.
II is astonishingiy regular in outline,
about sixty miles I'm diameter. very fat
and completely encircled with lofty steep
and sharp-peaked mountains-as fine a
valley for a nation Of hermits to inhab,t
as could be well imagined A few
thousand Boer rifiemen stationed on the
kopjes Of Plato could make 1t safe from
invasion against the entire lunar world
In this singular mountain-ringed valley
IL has been noticed that the rising sun.
Just peering above the surrounding peaks
looks down upon a vast whitish gray ex-
panse, filling the whole OF the immense
interior But as the solar orb swings
clear OF the mountain tops and the shad-
ows OF the pinnacles and ridges become
shorter upon the plain beneath the gray
color first brightens and then rapidly
fades over all the surface OF the valley
until at lunar noon Plato has turned
almost black while at the same time its
inelosing mountains of chalky whiteness
are ablaze with the sunshine
These appearances, taken in connection
with the remarkable phenomena reported
by Prof Pickering. indicate that there
are certain places on the moon where the
contrast between daylight and darkness
or between heat and cold manifests Pc
culiar effects, and I'm those places the
search for further discoveries should be
pushed Some day our silent satellite
may astonish us with revelations q,
greater human interest than any that
far-away Mars can offer Boston Journal.

SENATOR TowNE.

Th9 morning papers state that Gov.
Lind has finally veered around and got
ten his bearings and has appointed
Chas. A. Towne, of Duluth, ex-senator
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Davis, and that Mr.. Towne
has accepted. Mr.. Towne stated that
he would leave for Washington this
morning, stopping only long enough in
st. Paul to secure his credentials. This
is the logical outcome of the matter,
and Gov. Lind would have presented
a much better appearance had he made
the appointment AT the first and not
attempted SO much political by play in
trying to secure a Republican who
would accept it, in hopes it would stir
up feeling that would revert to his
own good politically. His course has
not raised him any in the estimation
of the public.
Mr.. Towne is one of the most dis
members of Organized
Democracy in Minnesota, and from
that view Of politics is the proper man
to receive the appointment. His Off
cial life will be short, for according
to the constitution he will hold only
until the Legislature meets, which will
be on the Sth day of January next
However he will have had the honor
of having been United States senator.

CONTRACTS LET.
The Bridge at Dodd Ford Will
Be Built.

The county board this afternoon
opened bids for building a 100 foot
steel span bridge over the Blue Earth
river at Dodd ford, in section 81,
Shelby, about three and half miles
southeast of Amboy, and also bids fol-
the stone piers and grading the ap-
proaches.
The bids for the bridge are as fol-
lows:
Gillette Herzog Mfg. Co., Mime
apolis, So, 1870; Clinton, Iowa, Rridge
and Iron Works, $s,152; VIM. L.
Heuitt, Minneapolis, $3,07S; J. G.
Radcliffe, Waukon, Iowa, So, $40; Min
neapoiis Bridge and Iron Co., So, 800 ;
Geo. E. King Bridge Co, Des Moines,
Iowa, So, 300; N. M. Stark & Co., Des
Moines, Iowa, So, 500; Mayer Bros,
Mankato, S 1906; L. a. johnson, Min
neapolis, 81, 94S.
County Surveyor Brooks estimate of
the actual cost of..the bridge, exclusive
of the contractors profit, was So, 800.
The board awarded the contract to
Mr.. Johnson, the lowest bidder.
Bids for the stone piers and ap-
proaches were opened, as follows:
Carlstrom Bros, $1,975; John Nc
Call and Thos. Gunlevy, So, 474; Joseph
Landkammer, So, 300.
The contract was awarded to Carl
strom Bros. Surveyor Brooks esti-
mate of the cost of this work, includ-
ing contractors profit, was 81, 922. 90.
The total cost of the bridge will be
81, 923.
S. B. Wilson submitted his bond of
81, 900 as county attorney, with Paul
Iverson and L. A. Under as sureties.
The board wishes all the new officers
to furnish surety bonds, and no action
was taken on this one except to lay it
over.
Lewis Davis, the newly elected
county treasurer, appeared before the
board this afternoon and asked
whether surety bond for $50, 90 would
be accepted. The personal bonds of
county treasurers have been given for
$50, 600, but the board was of the
opinion that a surety bond is so much
safer that smaller amount wsuld
suffice. 1t will undoubtedly accept
$50, 600 surety bond from Mr. Davis.
The board adjourned this afternoon
until the last week in December, when
it will meet for the purpose of ap-
proving the bonds of county officials.

SENATOR NELSON.

With the Minnesota legislature IN
expectedly charged with the duty of
electing two United States senators at
the coming session, it is greatly to the
credit of the members that all are of
one mind and purpose as to Senator
Nelson, and that is that his reelection
shall be taken up and disposed of
promptly. No contest for Senator
Davis successor will be allowed to in
any way conflict with or hamper the
carrying out of the will of the people
so overwhelmingly expressed at the
late election in the reelection of Mr..
Nelson. That there are elements at
work in the state to cause fight upon
him is apparent from several instances
that have occurred since the death of
Senator Davis, but happily the Repub-
lican members of the legislature are to
a man opposed to any scheme that
will handicap the reelection of the
senator, and no amount of argument
will cause them to select man to fill
the unexpired term until Senator Mel
son is elected.
This is as it should be- The people
have spoken in words that permit of
no double meaning, that Senator Mel
son shall succeed himself He has
earned the support of the party by his
splendid work in congress and the
least that the legislature can do is to
give him unanimous reelection.
