New Designs in Silver
ware.

Fifteen years ago there was
an era of frightful designs in
Silverware in this country. The
shapes were inartistic and the
decorations clumsy and tasteless.
Happily most of that plated
ware of that period is now worn
out. and owners may replace it
with the handsomesi article that
workers in silver ever produced
since the world began. Further
more, the prices are less than
ever. Let us show you our new
silverware and astonish you with
the low figures.

NEW BANKS.

The Bryanites have wanted imitation
In the volume of money all along, and
now they are afraid we are going to
have it, and that the Republican party
will get the credit therefore. But the
difference which will be noted under
the initiation which may come under
the financial act passed by the Repub-
licans, and that which would have
come had the Bryanites succeeded is,
that that which may now come will be
worth 100 cents on the dollar, while
the latter would have been of depre-
ciated character. The greatest num-
Der of applications under the new act
have come as syet from the middle
west and up to the first of this month,
Minnesota led the list. The total mum.
Der at that time exceeded $50. The ap-

Them to MankatO.

Sheriff Frank Collins, of Waseca,
was in the city Sunday in search of
two tramps who are accused of having
broken into store at Owatonna and

a boy at Smiths Mills for thirty five

were seen lying on the ground on the
other side. :, One of these was identified

him the razor. As soon as the tramps
saw the officers uniform, they made a
dash into the woods. The officers re.
traced their steps and secured a car
rage drove across the river but could

ED. ROOT DIES.
Well Known Resident of MankatO is no
More.

Ed. Root died at the Clifton House at
seven o'clock Monday, after lin
gering illness, and the remains were
taken to John R. Thomas undertaking
looms, where they were embalmed and
prepared for shipment. They left this
afternoon for Hartford, Conn, where
they will be laid beside those of the
parents of the deceased.
Mr.. Root came to Mankato twelve
years ago, and for a time held a posi-
tion with W. w. P. Mcconnell, His
father was interested in the cement
works and practically owned the pipe
works, and Mr.. Root afterwards took
the management of the latter, in which
position he continued until recently.
At his own request, w. G. Hoerr was
appointed his guardian a couple Of
years ago, and has had the handling of
his affairs since then. Mr.. Root had an
income of 800 month as his share of
the rentals of his mothers estate. He
also received a one.fourth share in
$4,000 of life insurance left by brother
who died in New Zealand last fall
Mr.. Root recently made will in which
he left everything to his sister, Mrs.
w. W. Wilcox, of Middletown, Conn.
The homestead in this city is in the
name of his wife, who now resides at
Seattle, Wash, and who has commenc-
ed a proceeding for divorce against
him. His interest in his mothers es-
tate was merely life one, and it now
reverts to the other heirs, who are his
sister and one or two brothers.
The deceased had many friends who
will regret his death.

Lines to Mrs. Peter Lloyd.
BY MRS. A. L. PALMER.


[ hope to write word to you tonight,
That may In some weak measure do you good
From my full heart pray to choose Alright,
Help would give so gladly if could.
For the penumbra of that shadow old
As death itself, has crossed our way
I've sat with you within the twilight cold.
But now | see it brightning into day.
For in some vision of the night deemed
The heavenly memories opened to my gaze.
Such blessedness and such beauty; and
dreamed
wept for you in awe and sweet amaze.
Praying that you with me the night might
share,
And hear the greetings in that home above
And childish welcomes stirred the summer air
No wall of sickness panied the ear of love.
You would not call her back to life and dare,
To have her tread the path you tread
Its WEAKNESS, its load of pain and care,
Its chances from wandering from truth and
God.
The chances strong against each soul that lifts
Its human wall within this earth of ours;
A voyage, He guarding each bark that drifts
The unknown seas of good and evil powers.
They come to show up innocence-a dream
That never otherwise might come to man;
The type the world had lost it might redeem
Thank God, He has made sweet the way to
heaven
With baby dialect its gloom beguiled
That He to you such dignity has given
To be the. mother of an angel child.

SOUTH DAKOTA.
1t is Past Forging Ahead as One OF the
Great States of the Northwest.

The Northwestern Homeseeker, pub
lished by the c. & N. w. Ry., devotes its
urrent issue to South Dakota, giving valu.
able information concerning its industries
and products, for those who desire to To-
cate where lands are cheaper than in points
further east. The information contained
therein has been carefully compiled and
shows a wonderful growth and widely di-
versifed resources for this young COM
monwealth. 1t shows the entire products
of South Dakota for 1899, in all lines
cached $1Io, 631,43o. In all lines except
that of wheat there was an increase over
that of the year previous. Articles are
given on the climate of the state, showing
the winters to be short, especially IN the
southern part, where seeding generally
commences the middle of March, and oc-
casionally in the latter part of February.
Frosts rarely come before the first of Oc-
tober and fall blowing is continued until
late into November. Other articles treat
of the soils of South Dakota. which are
shown to be of the most fertile; education
in that state, which compares we'll with its
older sister states; dairying in South Da-
kota, which, while in its infancy, is grow
ing to be an important industry there, and
the state is most admirably adapted for its
successful prosecution, as its grasses are
exceedingly rich and luxuriant, and cream
cries everywhere are doing successful
business and proving profitable to the
farmer. For cattle and sheep raising South
Dakota is coming to the front as one of
he best states in the Northwest. 1t is also
being demonstrated that the farmer can
raise all kinds of fruits situated to the
Northwest, most successfully.
South Dakota without question, is
bound to become one of the best of North
western states, and any one interested in
it, or desiring or contemplating locating
there, can obtain full information thereof
by applying to any agent of the c. & N.
w. Ry.
