SUNDAYS PREFERRED FOR BAT
TIES

There is a proposition which has
been set forth with much energy by
some correspondents whose views have
reached me. That is that the one cause
10r Which we both ought to hur llate
ourselves, and the one that is In fact
the secret of all our failures, has been
that our generals have fought on Sun
day. 1t is, therefore, rather interest
ing to note how very many battles have
taken place on Sunday. Certainly their
result has not always correspondent with
the views of the extreme Sabbatarians.

RAILROADS AND EDUCATION.

1t has been seven years since the first

idea has spread rapidly, until to-day
there is scarcely road west Of Chica-

lie. The original movement was dicta-
ted by the fact that along great stretch
es of the line of one road We're vacant
tracts of land which were excellent for
farming purposes, but which We're
somehow generally ignored. The road
decided to make this region profitab BILE
to itself by calling attention to its mer-
it's and inducing farmers and merchants
to settle there. The aid of the United
States department of agriculture was
called in. The ground was tested and
it's specific qualities were prepared. and
agents of the road sent into various
populous sections of the country to in
duce individuals to come and take up
residence there. At the same time it
was decided that it would be of little
use to induce settlement and then leave
the settlers to get along as best they
could, so a policy of instruction and as
sistance was inaugurated. The road
undertook to organize enterprises which
should utilize the natural resources and
production of the country and put
ready money into the hands Of the far
mers AS a result it found that it
would need to discover markets for the
goods manufactured, or it would lose
much of the advantage of its labor, and
thus came about the present policy,

the official figures. They were furnish

Is that the guesses made by other pa

costs. Not one of previous figures
given is correct. Below are the figures
as taken from the records of the state
grain department.:
For the year ending July 81, 1900, the
total cost of the grain department, in
GLIDING board Of appeals, was $224,53S.-
rs. Less the expenses of the board Of
appeals, such as board of appeals vouch-

one at Duluth and one at Minneapolis,

cost of the grain inspection and weigh
ing department for the year, $2O8 ,518.23.
The cost OF inspection and weighing de-
partments for the year ending July 81,
1899, was $21O,12OO1. This places the

Mayor Pumme1s q Washer.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 15.-Mayor
Gray gave "masher" a sound thrash
ing today in the presence of about 80
people. The encounter occurred shortly
after noon near the entrance to the
Masonic Temple, where the mayor was
waiting for car.
Mr.. Gray saw a acknowledges
woman retreating before q heavy-set,
middle-aged man. The mayor discover
ed that the man was trying to impose
his attentions upon the woman. The
man caught hold OF the woman's arm,
but she broke away and staggered back
around the corner on Sixth street.
Please have that man arrested. He
has been following me-" cried the wo-
man.
The mayor caught hold of the fellow,
and as he did so the "masher'' made a
vicious swing for Mr.. Gray's face. The
mayor lodged and suffered no greater
indignity than to have his hat knocked
into the gutter.
Its too warm for you here; I'll take
you where it's cooler" he said.
Holding the fellow by the scuff Of
the neck, the irate executive proceeded
to rain blows on his head and face,
while the woman looked on with intense
satisfaction. The masher partly lost
his balance and the mayor quickly bore
him to the sidewalk. When the fellow
dropped it occurred to his honor that
he was fighting and that he was bare
headed.
Get up: Numbered Mr.. Gray, "and
get my hat" The fellow scrambled to
his feet, and, after obeying the COM
mand, sunk away muttering some hasty
apologies.
