Honest differences OF opinion should
be no bar to good fellowship.

His mother has received a postal

The Billings Gazette says the
Northern Pacific will close its wool
ware houses at Townsend, Columbus
and Merrill and concentrate on
Billings as a wool shipping point
and it is expected that fully nine
million pounds OF wool will be mar.
keted there this year. The Gazette
further says: 1.-THE Montana rail
road, heretofore reaching the woods
of the Smith river district, has been
extended to Martinsdale, and will he
completed to Merino early in the
spring, thus giving rail cOmmunica-
ton to the weolgrowers on the Mus
selshell, and reaching the gateway of
the Judith basin, bringing it by one
half OF the wagOn-haul distance near
er than 1t has ever before been to any
railroad, and it is confidently ex-
pected as a result that many of the
Judith woods will seek this outlet.

An Evening Business school.

The suggestion has been made
that on account of the large number
of young people who leave Morris
each year to go away to business
schools, that it should be possible for
business college to be established
at this point. There is certainly q
need here for some kind on an insti-
tuition where those who desired would
have an opportunity to obtain an ele-
mentery business education. This
need, we should think, would be am
ply filed by an evening school, taught
by local people. No doubt the school
board would be willing to donate the
use of the high school room in order
to encourage such school. At any
rate the subject is one well worth
discussing, and we will gladly print
communications from anyone to
whom the subject is of interest.

Mrs. Ed Miller, sr.

On Tuesday afternoon, while all
the members of the family were for
the time being absent from the house,
Mrs. Ed. Miller Sr. quietly passed
away. Her death was due to heart
failure, she having been subject to
lattacks of heart trouble for some
I6me. The funeral was held on
Thursday forenoon, Father Haupt, of
Chokio, conducting the service.
Mrs. Miller was seventy years of
age, and leaves besides her husband
four grown sons and two daughters
to mourn her death. She had a large
circle Of friends, having been resi-
dent of Morris for many years.

Stevens County at the Fair.

The Pioneer Presss saws that the
county exhibits at the state fair this
year break all records. OF Stevens
county exhibit, it says
Stevens county is represented By
D. T. Wheaton, who has had charge
of the county exhibits eight consecu-
tive years. He has never failed to
show the county's products in a most
creditable manner, and this year is
no exception to his established rule.
Most attention has been paid to the
exhibit of native grasses. Mr.. Whea-
ton has successfully experimental
with the new forage plant, Austrian
bronze grass, and shows an excsp-
tionally fine cutting of it.

DIED.
Anton E. Anderson.

Anton E. Anderson, resident of
Stevens county since 1876, died at his
home in this city Monday morning
from hypertropic cirrhosis of the liv-
er. 1t was not generally known till
a few days before his death that he
was dangerously sick, SO that the an
nouncement of his death will come
as a sad blow to his many friends in
the county. The funeral was held
Tuesday from the Norwegian Luther-
an church, Rev. Engel Olson con-
Quoting the service.
Anton E. Anderson was born at
Manitowoc, Wis, Sept. 18th, 1852. As
young man he worked in the piner-
les in Michigan, and later learned the
blacksmith's trade. He was married
to Anne Christine Nilsson, sister of
n. A. Nilsson, on Dec. 25th, 1874. In
February, 1876, he came to this coun-
ty and settled on a farm in Framnas.
Since that time he has been variously
engaged as farmer, as partner with G..
W. Rohne in the lumber business
and as deputy sheriff. In all of these
positions, he gained reputation for
honor and honesty. He was a mem
ber Of the A. O. U. w. and Degree of
Honor and the members of these or
carnations showed Mr.. Anderson
and his children every kindness dur
ing his last sickness and death.
Mrs. Anderson died two years ago,
and every sympathy is extended tc
the six fatherless and motherless
children, the oldest of whom is TWEEN
! ty years and the youngest eight
years. An aged mother,two brothers
and three sisters still survive Mr.. An
derson in Manitowoc.

CORN MATURING.
Crop One of the Best Ever Raised in
the State.


The climate and crep bulletin for
the week ending Sept. 5rd, says:
There was showe1y weaeher in Polk
county, and in Kittson and Marshall
counties there were rains on the 29th
and lst, which delayed stacking and
shock thrashing, but in other parts
of the state the weather was dry and
bright until about ths night of the
1st, after which time there were
moderate showers except in parts of
the south. The latter part Of the
week was very warm, with the tenn
perature at 900 or somewhat warmer
on the 31st. Except in the northern
counties already mentioned, all farm
work has gone on satisfactorily. A
few are still stacking; thrashiug from
the shock is we'll advanced, and in
parts of the south it is finished; not
much las been thrashed from the
stack, as the grain has not finished
the sweating process. Where the
rains we're heavy in recent weeks,
much of the shocked grain is badly
injured. The hot dry weather has
matured corn very rapidly, and it is
being cut as fast as possible; it is
probable that only the very latest will
be in danger of frost; the crop is be-
lieved to be one of the best ever
raised in the state. The harvesting
of fax except the latest is nearing
completion, and many have thrashed
with satisfactory yields. The amount
of plowing done is said to be general
ly in excess of what is usually done
at this season; the soil is in good
condition in central portions, but it is
dry and hard in southeastern
counties. The apple is large
one, and it is being marketed. In
the southeast, the second crop Of
clover is doing well; some are. cutting
itfor hay; while others are saving il
for seed, and a few have thrashed
out good yields of seed. Potatoes
are ripening; the tllhers are large. but
there are not manyin the hill. Many
are still cutting hay.

rlrs. Ellen Neville Radue.

Mrs. A. F. Radue died on MoudaY,
Sept. 3rd, after lingering illness
with consumption. Mrs. Radue had
been lingering between life and death
for several weeks and the report of
her death is not unexpected. The
funeral was held from the house at
ten o'clock Thursday, Father Haupt,
of Chokio, officiating.
Ellen Neville Radue was born in
Red Wing, this state, on April 10th,
1878. During her girlhood she moved
with her family to Sauk Centre,
where she lived to the time of her
marriage on April 4th, 1894, to A. F.
Radue. In October, 1894, Mr.. and
Mrs. Radue moved to Starbuck, but
in the following April came to Morris,
where they have since resided. Be
sides her husband, she leaves four
children, the Oldest being six years
and the youngest seven months. She
was lady who was highly respected
by all who knew her. To the be
reayed husband and children, the
sincerest sympathy is expressed.
Mrs. Radue's father and brother,
Pat Neville, of Litchfeld, and M. E.
Neville, of Murdock, were present at
the funeral, as was also her uncle,
Stephen Kensello, of Sauk Centre,
and Mr.. Radue's father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. julius Radue, his
brothers, H. A. and J. E. Radue, and
sister, Miss Bertha Radue, all of
Sauk Centre. Miss Kate Neville,
who has been attending her sister in
her last sickness, leaves for her home
in Litchfeld today. Nj. Radue's
mother will assume the care of the
children, taking them to her own
home in Sauk Centre.

lffets His Vote For Sale

honsA. O. Richardson, a promi-
nent populist of Otter Tail, who 9
few years ago was elected to the
Legislature by the populists of that
county is not exactly satisfied with
the way his party is being managed:
In the last issue Of the Fergus Globe
he says .-
"I desire, through the medium of
your paper, to advertise my vote for
sale. ! wish to sell it directly to the
consumer and to pocket the proceeds
myself instead of placing it at the
disposal of some political vender to
swap for Office. The party with
which I have affiliated has been
assassinated by it's allies, and now
G. A. Towne is trying to trade the
corpse for position. I am unable
to see what claim Towne has on the
corpse or how he expects to be able
to deliver the old stiff to the demo-
Gratis in view of the fact that in the
campaign of two years ago he claimed
to be as good a republican as ever he
was, and at Kansas City he claimed
to be democrat. But perhaps he
thinks the part he took in killing the
Peoples party entities him to the re-
mains. At any rate there is nothing
which transcends his gall except per-
haps the confidence he has in himself
to deceiye the people"

has been liberal use of color in all the exterior work. The roofs are red tile, and the walls of staff are tinted in va rious soft shades that suggest the trop- ics. Numerous shady arcades and airy pavilions promise comfort upon the warmer days. There is a uniformity of cave line among the great buildings, and patient attention to detail is every where manifest in these extensive ar- chitectural works. Pillars and pilasters are made rich with bas-reliefs and ara besques. Arches are tinted and fres- coed. Towers. lanterns, domes and min- arets, flag standards, finials and fes- toons, with countless flags, streamers and banners waving gayly, combine to heighten the festival aspect.
 The style of architecture here observ- ed is described as modification of the Spanish renaissance, it having been de- cided that this would somewhat pro- claim the All-American or Pan-Ameri- can character of the exposition. Throughout Latin-America the approv- ed architecture is that which has come down from the Spain of old, changing somewhat through the lapse of .centu- ries. The visitor from California, Mex leo, Central and South America will feel the compliment expressed in the archi- tectural features of the exposition.
 Uses of the Principal Buildings.
 Now a few words about the dimen- sions and purposes of the larger build- ings. To the right at the extreme east end of the Transverse Court, is the gov- ernment group, consisting of three large

pleasure boats. The plumage of swans and other waterfowl of dazzling white ness gladdens and enlivens the scene. They are good sailors, those birds with sinuous necks. and the envy of young boys to whom swimming and diving are as yet arts unachieved.
 What a scene How fresh and green and abundant the foliage, a delight to the botanist in its amazing variety, a picture to arrest the eye of any artist! A little grade brings you finally to a point where the architectural beauty of the great main group of exposition buildings blossoms before the eye as a flower opens when the sun streaks the eastern sky and heralds the dawn of new day.
 Wonderful Architectural Creation.
 There are some 20 or more large buildings, including the massive archi- tectural features of a decorative char acter. The lesser buildings are num- bered by the hundred. The love of symmetry has guided the hands of the designers of these glorious works, and the arrangement is upon harmonious lines. Color shades into color, shadow blends into brightness, and there are brilliant contrasts in a thousand ways that forbid hint of severity and same- ness and make a picture that one will carry always in his mind when once 1t has been recorded there by the camera of the eye.
 We are now at the Approach, shaded by tall trees, and advance to the Fore Court. We cross the Mirror Lakes upon
The age-herald., 1900-04-29

on the south by that devoted to Forest ry and Mines. The circular arcades which connect the buildings are very ornate and form the entrances to the conservatories back of them. The large semicircular court contains the Foun- tain of the Seasons. Throughout the Esplanade are sunken gardens, floral displays and colonnades, which com plete the beauty of the broad, open space.
 Leaving the Esplanade, we enter the Court of the Fountains. At the right and left are two huge, towerlike build- ings 150 feet square, one devoted to Eth nology and the other to Music. Next beyond the Ethnology building, on the right, is the building. $50 by 800 feet, to be devoted to Manufactures. A broad, open space, containing an aquat- ic basin and floral features separates the two. On the west side of the Court of the Fountains is the Machinery and Transportation building, of the same size as the Manufactures building.
 Centerpiece of the Exposition.
 The Court of the Fountains is the ex- quisite centerpiece of the exposition. Beautiful by day to degree quite un- surpassed, with its wonderful display of fountains, flowers and ornate sur roundings, its charms are best present. ed at night. Then the element of mar vicious electric effects is added to the other embellishments. All the sur rounding buildings are outlined with a rich tracery of incandescent electric lights. The light is so diffused that there

ty record is one of the best. Wheelmen will be interested to know that there are 223 miles of the smooth, clean as- phalt streets in the city, to say nothing of the fine macadam roads and cycle paths throughout the extensive park system, of which there are about 25 miles.
 The plans for the exposition are so nearly matured and so much work has been done that we know now what the visitors shall see in the matter of im- portant buildings and picturesque grounds.
 It is May, 1901. We alight at Forest avenue and enter at the grand southern gateway of the exposition. It is on Lin- coin Parkway, broad, beautiful boule- yard shaded deeply with rows of tall naples. The entrance is one of the not able architectural works of the expo- sition, of rich and elaborate design. A 50 cent ticket gives us the freedom of the exposition for a day.
 The Pan-American Exposition grounds are about one mile from north to south and half a mile from east to west. They embrace an area of $50 acres, of which 1S3 acres are improved park lands, a part of Delaware Park. We are told by experts whose word is law among landscape architects that the park scenes which we are now drinking in with our fresh vision and alert sen. abilities are among the most beautiful in the world. It is easy to indorse such ep agreeable expression of opinion, for hs must be obtuse indeed who will not

the Triumphal Bridge, one of the splen- did exterior features of the exposition. The Mirror Lakes are a part of the Grand Canal, which completely encir- cles the main group of buildings, mile or more in length, upon which pleasure craft of all sorts will carry the visitor from point to point for small fee. Leaving the Triumphal Bridge, we come to the Esplanade, where 250,0O0 people may gather upon the occasion of special celebrations or ceremonies.
 The main exposition buildings are grouped around a vast court in shape like an inverted T. As we stand in the Esplanade facing the north the lesser courts of the horizontal are at the right and left. The Esplanade is 1,745 feet long by 510 feet wide. The perpen- dicular or greater court, including the Court of the Fountains and the Plaza, Is 2,000 feet long by 500 feet wide From our viewpoint in the Esplanade we can see some part of nearly all the great buildings. It will be noted that there

are no shadows, more than 100000 lamps being used to produce this pleasing ef- feet. Colored lights play upon the foun- tains, making every glistening drop gem of purest ray.
 The massive Electric Tower, $50 feet high, marks the northern boundary of the Court of the Fountains. It is 76 feet square, with long. circular wing like colonnades extending from the east and west and bending to the southward s5 feet. In a niche of the tower facing the south is a waterfall 30 feet wide and 70 feet high. The falling water is caught at every point of its descent and bro- ken into myriads of individual drops. Within the face of the niche is an elab- crate arrangement of electric lights, by means of which countless fantastic de- signs are made to appear in the surface of the sparkling waterfall. Other lights play upon the water from without, pro- ducing brilliant and pleasing effects, quite unlike anything heretofore att tempted. The tower stands in a large aquatic pool surrounded by balustrades and flowers, with numerous fountains and cascades playing into the basin. The tower is reached from the Plaza on the north side by a bridge of attractive design. Elevators carry the visitors to the promenade floors at various heights. From these floors broad and beautiful views of the exposition and surround
