mere are strong signs thht the hish
protective tariff party in Germany isgo-
ing TO fight series of pitch battles
with the German manufacturers over
the question of American markets and
American imports. The protective tar
i'll party in Germany is composed al
most exclusively OF the farmers, who
cannot stand the intsnse competition
and low prices of American farm prod
uets. The prices of German farm, lands
have been forced to high point, and
the German tenant farmers are rack
rented as badly as ever they are in
Ireland. Naturally the landlord sle-
ment don't want their rents lowered,
which will be the inevitable result If
American farmers are given free trade
with Germany. On the other hand, che
German manufacturers want cheap
food products from the United States.
SO they can sell their excellent man
ufactures in their constantly growing
markets all over the world,
But This situation in Germany is to
be taken advantage of by the protect
ed interests i'm the United States at
the expense of the farming interests
of this country. Already there are
signs that the entire textile interests
of this country will unite in de
mand for still higher tariff against
foreign goods. For instance, there
are now within the United States
enough knit goods factories to sup
ply the entire American demand for
knit goods with nine months work.
Instead of trying TO seek a foreign
market for surplus products, these
concerns will strive TO monopolize the
American market by raising still
higher the tariff wall against foreign
knit goods.
The profits Of knit goods are enor-
nous. and the knit goods combine,

The Truant Law.

We frequently hear parents make
the remark that their children need
not go to school unless they wanted
to: that the parents were the ''boss"
and would attend to the children's
schooling regardless of laws for such
cases existing. Below will be found
the substance of the truant law pass
ed last winter:
Sec. Every parent who resides
in any school district and who has
control of any child or children of or
| between tile ages of and 16 years,
shall send such child or children to a
public, parochial or private school in
each year during the entire time the
public schools Of such district are
in session. Children may be excused
by the board, because of poverty,
sickness, if the child is taught at
home for equal length of time, or if
the child is engaged in some useful
occupation permitted by law.

THE OPENING BALL.


The Fire Department Gives the People an
Enjoyable Evening.
Friday evening about 100 couples
assembled at the new City Hall build
ing for the purpose of attending the
opening ball inallgurated by the Ely
Fire department. Faaten's orches-
Ter of eight pieces of Duluth withSE.
L. Fisher as prompter, had been enc

overture.
The program of twelve dances was
altogether to short for some and at
IL O'Clock all repaired to the Ex-
change hotel, where Landlord Glode
had prepared u spread lit
for the Kings. Due and deserved
homage was done the yiands by the
party after which the hall was again
sought by the merry throng and the
balance of the program was danced.
To say the party had a good time
would be putting it very mild. they
simply had one Of the best times ever
inaugurated in Ely.
The committee OF arrangements
bad spared no money or trouble to
make the affair a success. The dec
grafton committee. under the able
craftsmanship of Mayor Mcmahon,
had beautifully decorated the build
ing both up and down stairs, with
bunting, flags. pictures aud mottos.
Cloak rooms had been properly ar
ranged for both the ladies and the
gentlemen and tables had been pro-
vided up stairs for those who did not
wish to dance, where they could play
cards or otherwise amuse themselves.
The dancers held the floor until
nearly o'clock in the morning. The
crowd which was large at the begin
fninf3 WIS juss ;lsriIrge at the eRds
Flaaten's orchestra rendered their
choicest strains and with the assist
lance of Mr.. Fisher held the party
until the last strain of Home Sweet

even then 10th to leave.
Altogether the affair was the best

STRANGE DISCOVERY.
Stone Pavements On a Hill
Probably the Work Of the An.
Gent found builders.

Taylorsyille, Ky, April pa
queer discovery was made by Com
missioner Jewell and Contractor
Beauchamp while making excava-
tion for the foundation OF the pa
vilion they are erecting on the
knoll in Poignard Park. In dig
ging through the soil they dis
covered a stone pavement, which
was laid evenly, and, instead of
with the slope of the hill, the pave
ment was on level. The digging
was done over space of about 90 feet
square, and the strange pavement
was found at every point. The
rocks of the first pavement we're re-
moved, and on digging through
about eight inches of yellow clay
another was found. Three of thes e
pavements were found, and it is
believed there is a fourth. The
yellow clay found between the pave
ments is of peculiar character to
be found at the top of a hill, and
was surely placed there by some
one. These discoveries caused con-
siderable comment, and the park
was crowded by curious persons
wishing to see the strange find.
Much speculation is INDUCED in
here as to how came the pavements
there, but it is generally supposed
it is the work of the ancient mound
builders. The knoll is of peculiar
character and does not seem to be
a natural emiuence, but accords
more to those built by the strange
people whose history is so indistinct.
Some are for opening the knoll for
research, but this has not yet been
decided on.

State Pensions-soldIers, Home.

At the annual meeting of the Asso-

McMinnville last week, the board Of
pension examiners submitted report
showing that the State now has 500
pensioners on the roll, with several
hundred applications pending that are
clearly reasonable under the law, but
the appropriation is exhausted.
The trustees of the Soldiers Homo
reported that they now have 11s in
mates in the home of an average age of
60 years, that $50 per capita is INSULT
cient properly TO care for the inmates,
and asked an increased appropriation.
With these facts before the convention
the committee on resolutions reported
a resolution, which was adopted, ask
ing that the State increase the pension
appropriation $780, 900, and that 500 per
capita be given for the support and
maintenance of those in the home.
