Will Bradley's Unique Commits
sion.

Will Bradley has accepted a
commission from The Ladies'
Home Journal for seriesof illus
trations that will attract the great
est attention. There are to be
eight of the pictures, showing
woman's day in her home at
breakfast, in her boudoir, ON the
lawn, etc. Mr.. Bradley will gown
the woman in costumes (appro-
pirate to the different periods of
the day and to the occasions) of
his own creation, and decorate and
furnish the house with draperies,
wall papers and furniture of his
own designs. The drawings,
while having a strong pictorial
interest, will have greater value in
showing women how to dress with
artistic effect irrespective of the
DEGREES of fashion and the methods
by which the most artistic effects
in home fitting and furnishing
can be secured.

Senator Hansbrough's Speech

oeHdtOT Ild0SDrOugHS opeeCn.
Sargent County Independent.
Senator Hansbrough, always
popular in Sargent county, whose
people roll up the greatest Repub-
lican majorites when his persona
lity enters into the issue, spoke at
the court house Friday evening.
The vast room was notonly packed
but the hallway and all other
places where his voice could be
heard though he could nodbe seen.
This unprecedented outpouring
was largely in the nature of a
personal ovation. For nearly
three hours he held the undivided
attention Of the great assembly.
No speaker could do more no
matter how eloquent. As is al
ways the case with him, he spoke
impromptu. His recitation Of
facts, logical conclusions, clean
cut tho good natured sarcasm,
made his effort the ablest presen-
tation of the Republican contention
before Sargent county audience
in this campaign. He struck to
the very core Of the many matters
he took up. His ideas all original,
furnished meat for reflection and
were absorbed with avidity by
members Of all parties. He is a
vote getter the secret of which is
the honesty and intense earnest
ness Of the man. He appeals to
the reason of his hearers, instead
Of pleasing one side and arousing
the ire of the other. He uses no
chestnut stories, and avoids the
common practice of imposing on
his hearers flashes of eloquence
stolen from the Columbian orator
"a much purloined publication.
He attempts no oratorial display,
initiates no one, has no idea but
that Of good citizenship seeking to
promote the best interests of the
country. He is peculiarly Senator
Hansbrough-plai original, con-
vincing, gentlemanly and unas-
suming, in the warmth of discus
sion firing off arguments as telling
against his opponents as, fgura-
lively speaking, brisk firing from
well manned machine gun. The
opposition regard him their most
effective opponent on thestump in
this state.

THE STATE sENATORsHIP.

THE STATE SENATORsHIP.
If the Democratic party is re-
turned to power on the 9Th of this
month, it will repeal the gold
law, and pass free silver coinage
bill at the earliest possible mo-
ment. True, it is claimed the
senate, even if Bryan is elected,
will still contain a majority of
sound money men, and a free
silver coinage bill could not be
passed Immediately, When Nc
Kinley was inaugurated there was
a free silver majority in the senate,
and he, too, was unable, to pass the
gold bill Immediately; but when
the time of those free silver sena-
tors expired in 1899, the Republi-
can legislatures (returned to power
with Mckinley in 1866 replaced
enough outgoing Democratic SEN
ators with sound money Republi-
cans to make a majority, and pass
the bill in 1900.
In like manner, if Bryan is elect
ed and the Democratic party is re-
turned to power in majority of
the states, why will not Demo-
cratic legislatures send Democratic
senators to the United States
senate to replace outgoing Repub-
licans when their terms expire in
1903, and thus give the Democrats
a majority there-just as the Re-
publican legislatures did? And
then what is to prevent them from
repeating the gold act and passing
a free coinage bill-just as Nc
Kinley and the Republicans passed
the gold bill?
What will the effects be of such
a law? And what will the imme.
diate effects be Of having to face its
passage three years from now?
Every man who had money
coming to him, and expected silver
dollars to depreciate, would want
that money paid him at the earliest
possible moment, and would pro
ceed to collect it with the least
possible delay; and if he got it, he
would Immediately put it into gold
ifhe could, to prevent it's depreciat
ing on his hands, and as there are
but 81, ,O59,O00,00Oof gold coin in
the country, including that in the
| U. S. treasury Coy the o. S. trea.
sury report, October lst, 190O) and
as the total amount Of money in
circulation is $2,l13,OOO,0OO (same
report) it is apparent that many
of those holding bank notes and
silver certificates and silver dollars
would be unable to get gold fo1
them. So he must start in as early
as possible, and get in before
others, bent on the same object
and if possible escape the crash
and the crush.
The immediate effects then, ot
having to face the passage Of q free
silver coinage bill three years
hence, would be, first, a steady and
ever increasing curtailment Of
credit; a steady pressure to collect
all outstanding debts; and as time
!, progressed, more urgent and siren
uous efforts in this direction. Busi
ness houses and other debtors il
the country would be called on te
pay up as expeditiously as posi-
BILE. The demands on and with
drawals from the banks would
gradually compel them to call il
their loans, and if not paid, to sci

clines would be such as we have
never seen before, because there
has never before been such a
wholesale calling in of debts, and
consequently selling, as this would
cause.
Business houses the country
over, being unable to collect bal
ances due them, or to realize on
their stock, except at ruinously
low prices. if at all, must fail.
Nothing could save them.
Small depositors, nervous and
following the larger ones, would
draw their balances, and runs on
banks would become general.
A panic such as the world has
never seen would ensue, and it
would take from ten to fifteen years
to recover from the general bust
ness paralysis.
These facts are cited to show the
Importance Of keeping safe Re-
publican majority in the United
States senate. The state senator
elected in Ramsey county on next
Tuesday will vote for United
States senator in 1908. If you are
in favor of sound money, protec-
ton, expansion and continuance
of the present prosperous condition
of the country, it is just az import
ant that you should vote for Henry
Hale, the Republican candidate
for state senator, as it is that you
should vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
Creel, in his circular to the
voters, says the contest for the
state senatorship is between him
self and Henry Hale. 1t is we'll
known fact that Creel is rabid
free silverite and, if elected, would
naturally vote for United States
senator who would help to bring
about the deplorable business con-
ditions as cited in this article. If
Bryan is elected, the Democrats
will mako a strong effort to elect a
!, United States senator in 1903, and
those who know Creel best are we'll
aware that he would easily sue
cumb to the temptation Of occupy
ing an easy seat in the Democratic
Doodle wagon which would appear
in Bismarck in 1903, as it did in
1893, when Roach carried off the
toga. thus making the United
States senate Democratic by bare
majority.
The man who votes for McKin-
ley and also for Creel, nullifes
half Of his vote. He votes for
Mckinley because Mckinley rep
refents sound money, protection,
expansion and prosperity. He
votes for Creel, and if elected,
Creel will vote for United States
senator who will be bitterly hostile
to these policies. If Mckinley is
elected he will want Republican
senator from this state who will be
in sympathy with his administra-
ton. Republicans should lay per-
sonalities aside in this campaign
} and vote for principles. Henry
Hale, the Republican nominee for
state senator, stands for Republi-
can principles. A vote for him is
} a vote to uphold the hands of
President Mckinley, if he is elect
ed. While on the other hand, if
Bryan is to be our next president,
vote for Hale is vote for a

into THE JUNK Pile.
Iron Range & Huron Bay
Railroad to Be
Torn Up.
Expected That The Work Will
Be Completed In About
Thirty Days.

A gang of fifty men in charge of
timekeeper left Detroit by Wednes-
days D. & G. boat for the upper
lake regions to pull up railroad by
its roots and ship the iron to Grand
Rapids, and thereby hangs tale.
The men arrived in L'Anse early
FridayNmorning and left for Huron
Bay, to commence work on taking
up the rails. They had with them
large boxes of heavy tools for use
in the work OF demolition.
Seven or eight years ago the late
James NJ. Turner, of Lansing, or
ganized company to build rail
road forty-two miles long from
Champion to Huron bay. 1t was
called the Iron Range & Huron Bay
railroad, and intended to form an
outlet for the Marquette iron range
to Lake Superior. The late Chris
tian Fl. Bull, Capt. w. H. Stevens,
Henry Stephens, Fremont Wood
ruff, A. L. Stephens, John NJ. Nicol
and others put up the money for the
road, which, including fine dock at
Huron Bay, cost 81, ,ls0, 900.
Before the railroad was completed
the situation in the iron region be-
gan to change. Some of the mines
on the Marquette range failed.
Others built road of their own to
Lake Superior by a shorter route,
and the Mesaba range was discover
ed, where mining could be done
with steam shovels, at much less eX-
pense, the work on the Marquette
range being underground. Troubles
also arose in the railroad company,
and although the road was com
pleted and made ready for business,
no train ever ran over the line and
not pound of freight was ever
transported. The whole enterprise
was practically abandoned, and has
remained idle since the day it was
built.
A few weeks ago this railroad, with
all its real estate, right-of way, road
bed, bridges and the 5000, 900 dock
at Huron Bay was sold to Frank c.
Andrews, John Winter, and DR.. Lau,
of Detroit, for $4,000. This is
terrible shrinkage from the original
cost, but the purchasers only want
the rails. The roadbed, bridges,
ties (rotten now and the big dock
will be abandoned. The right-of-
way and real estate will be allowed
to fall into the hands OF the state
for unpaid taxes.
"The road will be entirely torn up
and the rails removed within thirty
days, said Mr.. Andrews, in Detroit.
"Our object in buying it is to ac-
quire the steel, which is a fine 67-
pound rail, and never had a train of
cars run over it. The iron will be
delivered at Oxford, to be used in
completing our electric road there
from Oxford to Flint and Romeo to
Inlay City. All the steel we have
on hand will be shipped to Grand
Rapids, and we expect to have a
large part OF the road between Grand
Rapids and Holland laid this fall.
"We acquire everything connected
with the road, from the spikes to
the land. Two large twelve-wheel
Brooke engines, good as the day
they were bought, costing $4,000,
have been housed up all these years,
and we shall sell them, together
with over twenty cars-all but the |
forty-two miles Of steel, which is a
much better grade than is usually |
used in suburban road building and
will net us a low price and immed-
late delivery" "
