The Foolish Calf.

When Senator Hanna spoke at Youngs-
town, Ohio, recently, he told story of
a calf that left it's mother to run after
Il steer. Secretary Heath has taken up
this idea and developed it into cam
paign poster which very artistically de-
picts Senator Hanna's idea. The calf is
seen chasing the steer in the distance;
the cow is in the foreground sauntering
quietly home, while the boy stands with
uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, say
ing, You little fool, you little fool, you
d-d fool, you'll be sorry when supper
time comes"
The picture is entitled '"Hhe Foolish
Calf, or Lesson to Labor" and stand
ing by fence in front of cottage are
a farmer and woman, the man with II
full dinner pail in his hand This poster
is sure to catch on and is likely to be a
good y1te getter.
When Senator Hanna arrived in Chi
cago this week it was shown to him and
surprised him. He had no idea that Mr..
Heath had been developing his story.

"DEAR Boy LETTERS, NO. 9.
MY Dear Boy.

My Dear Boy.
You say that you are tired of working
for old man Skinner, and are thinking Of
going West this fall, where wages are
higher. You ask what / think about it.
Well, have no objection to your going
West, but don't want you to go till after
the election. This is the first time in
your life that you ever had an opportu-
nifty to exercise your right as an Amer
ican citizen in voting for a President of
the United States. / don't want you to
lose your vote for the following reasons:
1. The only possible chance of the cleo

going to be elected, anyhow. There is no
danger. have arrangements made to be

Especially do I regret to hear talk of
this kind among some of the railroad
men. If any class Of men ought to come
up unanimously to the support of Me
Kinley and the Republican party, that
class is composed of the railroad men Of
this country. Four years ago there We're
thousands of cars sidetracled, no build

themselves to blame.

MOUNTAIN STATES
TURN TO M'KINLEY.
Prosperity the Cause Oh the
Welcome Change.
No One Fears "Imperialism," While All
Are Proud of the Records Made
by the Army and Navy.
(By George L. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from Idaho.)

(By George L. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from Idaho.)
There are many reasons which impel
the voters of the mountain States to sup
port the nominees and the policy OF the
Republican Party this fall One word
more than any other explains the position
of our people in this support and that
word is confidence.
The record of the Republican party is
a record of fulfilled promises.
The first act of the party after its re-
turn to power was the enactment of the
Dingley tariff law, which again placed us
on a protection basis.
Take for example the benefits which
have accrued to my own State, Idaho.
Among our principal industries are min
ing, cattle and sheep growing and farm
ing.
The great lead mines of the State are
working every man possible at wages of
$3.50 per day of eight hours. During
the three years of President Mckinley's s
administration the value of the lead pro-
duced in the State was $14, 4,O03, while
during the last three years of. President
Cleveland's administration the total value
was only $7,S60, 151.
Our sheep have advanced in price from
$1.15 to $3.50 per head, gain to the
people of the State of over three million
dollars in the value of the sheep alone.
In the year 1896 the wool clip of Idaho
was valued at $442 ,6S5, while for the
year 1900 it is estimated that it will bring
to the wool growers of the State So
100000.
A very conservative estimate of the
number of cattle in the State is 100000.
They have increased in value on an aver
age of SIS per head, making the cattle
men at least seven and one-half million
dollars richer than they were three years
ago. The increase in the price of horses
of $40 per head has also added between
one and two million dollars to the wealth
of the State.
The voters of this State and of the
other mountain States are not blind to
these facts, and on election day they will
give earnest evidence of their confidence
in the party whose policy has so enriched
and prospered them.
We of the West are proud of the
achievements of our army and navy in
the war with Spain. The patriotic posi-
| tion of the Republican party in declaring
for the retention of the territory so gal
lantly won from Spain appeals to our
people.
They do not fear imperialism" for we
have never met an American who was
an imperialist l am in receipt of let
ters from many men who have never yot-
ed anything but Democratic ticket but
who will vote for Mckinley and Roose-
welt on this issue alone.
You can count on the electoral vote of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyo-
ming and perhaps Montana and Colorado
for Mckinley and prosperity.

HIS FIRST SERMON.
Rev. LutZ breaches His First to
Redwood Methodlsts. '.ss

Rev. G. W. Lutz, the new pastor
of the Methodist church, came up
from his old pastorate fields at Wells
last Wednesday, spent three days in
toying with theproblems of unpack-
ing household effects and setting up
stoves, etc, and brought up in the
church Sunday morning with fea-
lures and feelings that simply out
shone the softest beams of Mime
sofa sun on the gentlest of spring
mornings.
Mr.. Lutz was a newspaper man
before he became a preacher. He
had his patience tested in bringing
out the weekly issues of Morton and
Wood Lake papers long years ago,
and it was while he was up against
this toughest portion of the rocky
stream Of life that he got his best of
all experience that the true man was
the one who could smile when ad
versity was straining the mind most
severely. Having gone up against it
IN the newspaper profession he
deemed his experience such as to

Nineteen centuries ago there

also like the river in the way it was
sustained, Notwithstanding the on
ward move over rugged or smooth
ways. "The man worth while is
the one who smiles when everything
goes wrong were Mr.. Lutz's best
words.
At the conclusion of his sermon
he announced to the congregation
that he did not want to be a whole
year getting acquainted with the
members, but that he wanted to be-
come acquainted at once, and at the
close of the morning service many
pressed forward to shake hands
with the new minister.

he returns to near the scenes OF his

His appearance in the pulpit is
fine He is Beecher-like in the
smoothly shaven countenance and

his gesticulation perfect, while his
power of narrative is effective. The
retention of the left hand in his
trousers pocket throughout the
wholelof his sermon is conspicuous
and gives him the appearance of be-
ing in ordinary conversation or ar
gument.
Mr., Lutz opened his first sermon
in Redwood Falls by saying that the
household work of the three, prev
ious days were not offered as an
apology, because apologies at best
were largely discounted: but warn
ed the audience that if he got off into
stove-pipe. etc, it need not be
surprised. He took for his subject
Peace. His text was from the 18th
verse of the 48th chapter of Isaiah,
and he then stated that human his
tory was largely identified with a
river and sea, and especially was
this true Of early history. The murky
waters of the historic Nile had flow
ed on while many dynasties had
passed away. The waters OF the
Euphrates had passed to the sea
while the story of civilization along
its banks had long since decayed.
The beauties and ideals of Nineveh,
the walls, towers and gates OF
Babylon, the magnificent temple of
Belus, and the royal Babylonian
gardens were all things Of the past.
The waters Of the Rhine lad passed
into the ocean and many castle
along its banks had passed into his
tory. American history had passed

politan. It was representation of
all churches, and it passed in and
out of the residence in a distinctly
reception style. The people were
received at the door by Miss Melis-
sa Persons. In the north end of
the parlor stood Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Fred. Thompson. and Rev. aud
Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Adell
Mitchell, and as the callers were
ushered into the parlor they were
presented by Mr.. Thompson to Mrs.
Thompson, who, in turn presented
them to the Rev. and Mrs. Mitchell,
and Miss Mitchell. Passing out o,
the parlor into the refreshment
room the callers were served with a
grape frappe and cake. The table
from which this was served was
decorated with the most beautiful
OF ferns and holly, while pink and
white carnations formed the center
attraction. The table was in charge
OF the Mesdames Finn, Aune, Lus-
cher and Theiring.
During the evening several vocal
and instrumental music selections
were offered. Miss Mable Mckay

Rev. Fir. Woods sang triumph solo
with Miss Isham as accompanies,
and Mrs. O. w. Mcmillan and the

Her Football Team Defeats
the. MdnkdtO El6V6n---
Score 9 to @.
Redwood Scores Her Two
Points on an ExCitinQ
TOuCh-BdCk.,

In the presence OF a crowd of |
three hundred people the Mankato
eleven went down before the Red
wood Falls team in one Of the most
exciting games of football ever
played in southwestern Minnesota,
on the grounds just west OF the Red
wood bridge, last Saturday after
noon. The score was 2 too.
Redwood foot ball enthusiasts were
leary over the result before the
game was called. They had heard
of the alertness of the Mankato
PLAYERS, and a doubt arose in the
minds of the Redwood enthusiasts
whether the Redwood boys had been
together enough to warrant a pre-
diction that they would win the
game. The weight OF the Redwood
team had not been considered. It
was failure to consider this weight
that did not give the Redwood en-
thusiasts more confidence, for when
the teams came together the weight
OF the Redwood players simply
pushed the Mankato eleven into
laying down, and at times it was
the means Of forcing a Redwood
player through the Mankato line
for several yards. This weight,
with the speed of Garrison Of Red
wood was what advanced Redwood
to within few feet OF Mankato S
goal, and later brought the ball over
the goal for a safety, giving Red
wood the only two points made.
Prof. Jones of the Redwood schools
played with the Redwood team. It
was his excellent management of
the local team, together with three
or four OF the most brilliant plays
ever seen on the gridiren, that gave
Redwood Falls the victory. He
realized that the locals were weak
on combined playing and that fore
ing the Mankato lines, and taking
all chances of fierce tackling. was
the only salvation. These points he
forced at every turn, and once he
made brilliant play around the
lines that brought the ball to within
a rod Of the goal.
! The crowd was distinctly learn
ing crowd. Only a few knew the
rules of the game and the balance
were there to learn what they were
and what counted-what was foul
and what was a tackle. what was a
touchdown and what was the goal.
And while this did not altogether
prevent the yelling 1t checked a
whole lot Of it. The Redwood yell
of
"Hobble. gobble, razzle, dazzle, sis,
boom, ah, Redwood, Redwood, rah,
rah,"
and the flying of the local colors
were not SO conspicuous as they
might have been, but the hurrahing
for Redwood and the shouting for
victory at the conclusion of the
game was all that could have been
expected.
The Mankato team was met at the
depot in the morning by three or
four members of the drum corps
and the local foot ball team, and
they were marched from the depot
to Hotel Francois, where they had
dinner.
THE CANE.
| The game was called at 2:11 with
Mankato in possession of the ball,
and kicking it off from the center Of
! the field. The first kick failed to
put the ball in the territory of the
Red wood eleven and was taken back
to the center for second kickoff !
The ball was three times in posses
sion Of each team during the strug-
gle of the first half, and during
which there were numerous fumbles
and errors by both teams. It was

in this half that Prof. Jones made
an excellent long run around the
Mankato team and came within q
few feet of taking the ball over the
Mankato goal. Owen Treadwel
made another around the end, which
brought forth the plaudits of the
crowd Jones and Treadwen both
did some excellent tackling in this
half which wound up with score
of O too.
The second half of the game corn-
menced at 2:47, after the usual ten
minutes rest. Redwood kicked off
aud the ball went to Mankato in one
Of the liyliest tussles Of the game.
This half was played with mnch
more spirit and determination and
with fewer fumbles and mistakes
than occurred in the first half Gar

ball around to within a few feet OF

the Mankato goal, and in vicious
attack on the center line OF the Man
kato team the ball was passed over
the goal for touch back, Redwood
losing the ball, but scoring two
points tor getting the ball over.
The ball was then taken out to tie
25 yard line and kicked off by Man
kato, the ball going to Redwood,
and the locals advancing it again to
very near the Mar klto goal line,
where Redwood by bad tumble,
lost the ball. In three desperate
attempts Mankato was unable to
make the required distance and the
Dall again went to Redwood. While
the latter team made advances en-
the Mankato goal the call of time
stopped them from making touch
down, and the game was closed at
3:17 amid the plaudits of the Red
wood admirers.
Only two or three slightaccidents
happened during the game, Baldwin
retiring on account OF an accident.
and giving way to Percy Fountain.
Two or. three calls OF time were
made to give an injured player a
chance for wind that was knocked
out Of him in hard rush.
NOTES
The grounds were little rough,
but can be made into an excellent
gridiron. They are nicely and con-
veniently located.
The game was the first public ex-
| hibition Of any kind to be held { n
that side of the river 1t is posi-
BILE that the west side may furnish

! Manager Welles, although small,
was made, conspicuously large by
the huge rosette of Redwood colors
pinned to his coat lapel, and from
which ribbons foated almost to the
ground On about every ribbon, IN
6O-point type, was printed the word
Manager. y A red and old gold
decorated cane also increased the
size Of our brilliant friend, while.
whether on the street, in the hotel.
or on the gridiron, his voice was al
ways conspicuous above the others.
Several Mankato boys remained
over Sunday in town. All of them
expressed appreciation of the kind
way in which they were treated.
| Swearing was indulged in by the
players only once or twice. It
should be wiped out entirely.
