The regular soldier Is expected to be
a model Of obedience, patience,
age; but il appears he is also a pat
tern as regards thrift. The statement
Is credited to the chief paymaster Of
the forces in the Philippines that 65
per cent Of all the money sent there
to pay the regulars is either deposited
with the paymaster, to be kept until
the end Of the soldiers enlistment, or
Is sent back to the United States in the
form Of paymaster's checks. Our Tom

Northern Pacific to Sisseton.

An obscure item in recent Mime
apolis Journal stated that the North
ern Pacific was planning to extend it's
line SO as to connect Morris and
Sisseton, S. D. Now the most feas-
ible way to connect Morris and Sisse-
ton is to extend the Browns Valley
line to Sisseton, the distance of the
latter town from Browns WALLACE
being only about a score Of miles.
The report would seem to indicate
therefore that the Northern Pacific
is seriously contemplating the taking
control of the Browns Valley line
about which we hear rumor periodi-
calIy. AS the railroad utterances of
the city papers are usually "inspired"
it would seem the chances are good
for the Northern Pacific taking con-
troll of the Browns Valley line in the
not far distant future.

thing else equally attractive.
'"The explanation my friend gave
was peculiar. "You see, I owned this
place. he said and we didn't have
enough money to fix up both the inside
and the outside according to our ideas.
If We had tried to spread it over the
whole thing the result would have
been cheap and common. so we put
all we had on the interior, and instead
OF attempting to beautify the exter-
nails I turned to and made 'em as out
landish as possible. Those patches
you saw on the walls aren't necessary,
but I nailed them up for the sake Of
the ensemble, and then I knocked off
few of the shutters with an axe. We
paid a man to haul load Of trash for
the yard, and l never pass without
kicking a picket out of the fence. The
result is that our friends all think
we're too original for anything, and
the effect of our little furnishings IS
enhanced about 500 per cent. by con-
trast. No bother to be poor if you
have brains.'"

SAVE TAXES.
If You Use a Wide Tire File your
Affidavit Before April Ist.

The statutes provide for a reduc-
ton of the road taxes for those who,
use continuously wide tired wagon
and though the amount is small it is
worth looking after. Section l,
chapter 342, of the general laws of
1895 provides:
THAT any person who shall contin-
uously use in and about the trans
action of his business any wagon or
wagons, the tires Of which are not less
than three inches in width, shall be
entitled to reduction from the an
nual road tax in the road district in
which he resides of the sum of So for
each and every such wagon used.
Provided that such reduction shall
not exceed the amount of his road
taxes"
By making an affidavit setting
forth the facts and filing the same
with the town clerk before April 1st,
you will be entitled to the reduction
above provided for, the only expense
being the ten cents whicn you pay
the clerk for fling the same.-Prince-

THE TILL TORE CERTAIN
But 1t May BniIt by Messrs. Good
man and Quirk or Others.

The latest development in regard
to new mill being built at this
place is that other parties than those
who were here last have been CON
sidering the putting in of large
mill here. With the advantages
which Morris presents as a milling
point, it is impossible for US to be
long without large mill. As surely
as effect follows cause, just so sure is
the field he to be occupied some time
lR the near future,
Several letters have been received
from Mr.. Goodman, the promoter Of
the new mill, this week. He states
that he would be pleased to locate
his new mill at Morris, although he
has received several favorable offers
from other towns,
Mr., Goodman has not put his
proposition to this town in definite
shape but may do SO in few days.
A site on the transfer between the
two railroads large enough for the
mill, an elevator and spur tracks is
asked and also $500 to $1,000 bonus.
At the Farmers Elevator Associa-
ton meeting on Wednesday there
was considerable favorable comment
ou the securing of the new mill. The
association decided to lease their ele-
vator to the new mill in order to aid
as much as possible the new enter
prise.
The more the mill is talked of the
greater seems to be desire to get one
here. It will place Morris far in the
lead of competing towns and add to
the prosperity Of every branch of in
dustry.

The Odd Notion of a not Very Wealthy
Man in Fixing Up a Home.
"Last week, while I was in a city not
thousand miles from here said a
local business man, who has just re
turned from a little trip to neigh
boring State, Il ran across former
bachelor friend, whom I had not seen
for over two years I knew that he
had married in the meanwhile, and
when I offered my congratulations he
insisted on my coming out to mis-
house for dinner
81 accepted, of course, but when we
reached his home was sorry I hadn't
declined. In fact, was deeply shocked
for of all the poverty stricken, squalid
and generally dilapidated habitations
I ever laid eyes on, the one he piloted
me to was by long odds the worst.
The house was shabby-looking frame
affair, weather Ibeaten. unpainted and
patched all over with old boards.
Some Of the shutters were missing,
and others hung by one hinge, while
gaunt patch Of yard, Uttered with mis-
cellaneous trash and enclosed by a
ramshackle picket fence formed an ap-
propr1ate frame for the picture. The
sight saddened me beyond expression,
and I was vexed that I had been made
a witness of my unfortunate friends
poverty. However, I couldn't well
beat retreat, 80 followed him in.
and the moment he opened the door |
nearly toppled over with astonishment.
The interior of the cottage was a
perfect little bijou. We entered a
square hall decorated a la Japanese IN
rich bronze-green, with stork flights
in long panels on the walls and palm
in one corner in big lacquered vase.
Off to the right was an exquisite little
drawing room, finished in silvery- gray
end full of good pictures and artistic

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I read an editorial in your issue of today in which you say:
 There will, it is now claimed by the
 rail mills be no S22 rails this year up to
 the fall season at least. The difference
 of $4 a ton is tax upon wheat con
 sumers and cotton consumers and all other consumers, and the consumers will
 face about and endeavor to take some of it out of the producers.
 "There Is no help for it under the present Dingley Mckinley tariff Any sort of a copbination is possible, and the six rail mills and the six railroads that carry the rails from the six mills can always be depended upon to form a combination that will tax severely the people. To all intents and purposes this country is an oligarchy, and the chief oligarchs are the tariff-made and tariff protected monopoles, every one of which desires Republican success, and is paying heavily to secure it.
 I have just returned from a visit to sev eral countries, including Sweden, in which there is no tariff whatever on rails. It is the only country in Europe except England where there is no tariff whatever, and therefore it is supposed to be a battle ground where the cheapest products can be had The price of rails in Sweden on the occasion of my visit in the month of August was fS-10-0 per ton, the equivalent to $41.20.
 I have before me the official quotations in the Iron and Coal Trades Review of London dated September 2S, showing that on that date the prices on rails in Great Britain ranged between f7-0-0 and G-5-0 per ton, namely, from $34 to s3525
 With these prices prevailing in the free trade markets of Europe, will you be kind enough to explain to a Republican reader how and in what way the people of this country are subject to any disadvantage or disability or extortion in buying rails at $26 per ton? If the Dingley tariff was an
