THE POST OFFICE BUSINESS.
The Post Office is Keeping Pace With
hi Other Warren Institutions.

Notwithstanding the fact that
this is the hardest year on farmers
that has ever been known in the
history Of the country around War
rem, we have, as a city, continued to
grow, and carry along with us all
the enterprises that enter into the
making up Ola first class agricul-s
tural bnsiness center This condi-
5tionsis largely accounted for by the
TACT that the district is settled by q
class of farmers who make the best
uses of their capital and opportnni-
ties, assisted by II climate and soil
admirably adopted to their ayoca-
tion. I#, ...t2..- RI
All our business men, while they
find collections a little slow, and do
not sell as many Of those articles
that are classed as luxuries, find
business ordinarily fair. The husi-
ness OF the post office, like a clearing
house in a large city, is a criterion
ofthe business done in smaller places.
A report from our post office shows
that for the half year ending Sept.
80, 1890, thereceipts were $1,339.67
and in the same time in this year
they were $1,570.37, an increase
of $23O.71. The business OF the
month Of October for the two years
shows u much larger proportionate
increase. In 1899 the receipts dur.
ing that month were $268.27, while
last month they ran up to $42O.6S,
an increase OF $152.41. These fig
ures show, to- a certain extent, the
solidity of the district. ,53

LAST SPIKE DRIVEN.
Minnesota and Manitoba Railroad an
J. s,.s. Accomplished Fact.

... Accomplished Fact.
Advices from Port Hyland, up on
the north border Of the state, report.
that the last spike in the Minnesota.
& Manitoba railroad, owned by
Mackenzie, Mann & Co., was driven
Friday by Mrs. P. J. Besemer, sister
of Mr.. Daniel Kyland. the popular
contractor of that part of the road. :.
Among those present were Chief En-
gineer R. Fowler, Mr.. Daniel HyIand,
assistant engineer; Cecil Parsons,
bridge superintendent; Kenneth Nc
Clay, Mr.. P. j.. Besemer, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thos. Cathcart. There were
many cheers for Mrs. p. j. Besemer.
The successful completion Of this line
it is hoped will be the means OF open
ing up this wealthy country, border,
ing upon the Lake OF the Woods and
Rainy river. 1t is proposed to con
meet the line with Duluth, but the
projectors will probably not COM
plete their plans for another year
or two. ":t..-.....'- ~:

is known to be crazy on the subject
Of poison. Void is about fifty years
old and has lived in the town of Ex-

the past few weeks receiving treat
ment for a badly injured hand, had
the misfortune, a few evenings since,

physician was summoned and fixed
up the injury so that she is getting
along nicely. Her hand was injured

From Fridays Daily. @-r5 #s
The grand jury yesterday brought
in an indictment against j. Sutton
for manslaughter in the second de-
gree for the killing of W. W. Swift,
of Minneapolis, at Argyle short time
ago. This case was set for trial next
Saturday, but this afternoon the
county attorney entered a nolle pro-
sequi, or motion to dismiss for want
OF sufficient evidence to convict. Mr..
Sutton also made a statement before
the court explaining the circum-
stances, from which it was very evi-
dent that Mr.. Sutton was not at all
responsible for the death Of Mr..
Swift, and it does seem as if the
charge against him was made with
malicious intent. 0t@5

four pound blackfsh is about as large

uses its teeth for loosening mussels

small crustaceans from their hiding

ATTRACTIVE EXHIBIT.

Tint Of Foods ana Their AccesSoT'c''

A very dainty pamphlet has been Is
sued by the Division of Foods ana 1he'r

position at Buffalo. The food work NJ
the Pan-.American comes under the
general department Of Horticulture,
: Forestry and Food Products, of which
Mr.. Frederic w. Taylor is superlntend-
emf. Mr.. G. Edward Fuller, as assistant
superintendent, has entire charge OF
the Division of Foods and Their Ac-
cessories, and be has prepared himself
for unusual work In this line by spe-
cial travel and study such as no one
else probably cvcr undertook with the
same object. This pamphlet calls the
attention of .jol bcrs of teas, coffees
and spices and all dealers in food prod
ucts generally and their accessories to
the interesting. useful and educational
work in their lines Of business which
is going on for the Iin-.American EX-
position of 1901.
The assistant superintendent. Mr..
Fuller, says: in the far east there are
foods and condiments Of which we are
almost utterly ignorant here, and one
of the aims of the food exhibit will be
to educate the people of the western
hemisphere to the cultivation of the
products which flourish in the east. 1t
will be my aim to show how simple
and profitable IL would be, for instance,
to grow in the West Indies what is
grown in the East Indies. The climate
and soil conditions are remarkably
similar, and the conditions are favor
able.
"The best proof obtainable or des'ra-
BILE that the soil and the climate of the
West Indies is as favorable as tlat of
the East Indies for the production of
spices is already available. The prod
ucts now received from the West In
dies are not equaled by those FROM any
other section of the world. AT the
present time they grow better alls oice,
ginger and red pepper there than any
where else on the globe, and the va
nilla bean. which is queen of spices. as
the nutmeg is king, Is found nowhere
in the world in such perfection as in
