A BRAVE DOG.

Bruno a magnificent st. Bernard,
belonging to a New Jersey man, had
learned to lead his masters favorite
horse to water by holding the halter
rope in his teeth. Recently the stable
caught fire and the horse was tied in
side. Bruno saw the trouble, dashed
into the smoking building, chewed off
the halter rope and led his horse friend
out to safety. Such dog heroism is
worthy of reward. If this dog were a
man we would propose that he be
toasted with Golden Grain Belt"
beer, heroic beverage, pure as noun
tain dew and palatsble as the nectar
of the gods. 1t contains in every glass
the strength of bread and meat, be-
cause it is brewed from the purest bar.

THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which Attracts
MANY Refined Girls.

Many girls Of education and refine.
ment are turning to the profession Of
trained nurse as q means Of livelihood.
II II o serious occupation and a respon-
ible one, for the word Of an experienced
nurse carries great weight in matters
relating to her profession. Fits this fact
that prompted an interesting interview
with Miss Kathryn Nash, Of North and
Plattsburg avenues, Burlington, w.
published In the News Of that city. TO
Q reporter she said:

ily for nine months without rest and
was run down and tired. I had very
little appetite and sometimes would
skip one or two meals and not feel 1t at
all. While visiting in Boston, an abscess
formed back of my ear. had NO
strength and, although was always
drowsy, sleep did not seem to refresh
me. After came home had seven
assesses on my back, near the waist
line, and was unable to sit up much for
three or four months. The doctors who
treated me said I had blood-poisoning
from which I would never recover"
"That must have been very discourag-
ing" said the reporter.
SIT was. 1t took all the ambition oct
of me for while. But one day, when
I was feeling particularly respondent, q
friend advised me to try DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People. She
was taking them with benefit and
thought they might also help me. I
bought some at once and before / had
used one box Of the pills found I was
gaining strength. My appetite and
digestion improved and 1 felt rested
after sleeping, instead of being tired as
I was formerly. l soon became entirely
well and able to resume my duties"

you?'

Emma Goldman, the high priestess

Emma Goldman, the high priestess
of anarchy, has been arrested in Chi
cago. They may not be able to detain
her long in the custody of the law, but
it is really too bad that there is any
chance of her again being allowed to
go at large to preach the red-handed
doctrine of anarhcy. OF course when
arrested she disclaimed any knowledge
OF the foul crime attempted at Buffalo.
Said she had never conspired for the
presidents death, nor did she preach
the doctrine of death to rulers. If
what she had said at any time, had
set the brain of the anarchistic dupe
on fire, it was because a wrong inter-
probation had been given it, and she
did not see how she could be held re-
sponsible for the views of every
cracked brain idiot. In short Miss
Goldman posed for a harmless person,
and if her word was to be believed
she would not harm a hair on the
presidents head. She is, in her own
estimation, poor, innocent, abused
person, who spends her time lodging
the police in every city she visits,
while she meets the most radical of
the reds in che backrooms of saloons,
or the quies of some of their homes,
where the windows have been carefully
darkened in their efforts to prevent
detection. In short, by her own story,
Emma Goldman is entirely too inno-
cent to be at large.

Messrs. Hubbard, is known on both
sides of the Atlantic as progressive,
thoroughly reliable and of the broadcast

tation and white wash, when so many
mills have yielded to the temptation
of sacrificing quality for price, it is
refreshing to know that there are a
few mills like Hubbard's that hold
their reputation above price, and who
have taken firm stand against lower

1t looks like another instance of Nc
Kinley luck to recover from the effect
of the assassin s bullet. The murderer
thought to end the presidents life, but
instead he simply revealed to McKin-
ley the love in which he. is held by his
countrymen, and the esteem in which
he is held by the world. To few men
is revealed within the brief span of
their life time, after they have climb
ed to high public position, the hold
which they have upon the people and
hear the deep respect rendered by both
friend and opponent.

And now comes the Winona Repub-
lican and Herald and says that the
United States district attorneyship
belongs to the first district. We had
always supposed that it belonged to
the state. The twin cities have been
pretty well taken care of, and it
would be most graceful thing for our
United States senators to recognize
some other portions of the state. In
this respect the second district has just
as strong claims for the place as has
the first Let there be fair treatment
in the disposition of that position.

HAS NO EVIDENCE.

The St. Peter Tribune quotes the de-
putty game warden of that place as
saying that he has no evidence with
which to secure the conviction of Sen
ator Benedict on the charge of violat-
ing the game law. The case comes up
tomorrow before Justice Miller and
the prosecution will undoubtedly fall
through. The Tribune says that the
whole mattaer was started for political
purposes-to kill off Senator Bene-
diets chances to secure the appoint
ment as district attorney in the inter
est of twin city candidates.

A DETESTED MAN.

People everywhere have been shocked
at the cold heartless words of Senator
Wellington of Maryland who expressed
himself in as emphatic terms as the
most red handed anarchist, that the
shooting of President Mckinley was a
matter of Indifference to him That
they were enemies. This at a time
when friend and political opponent
were vieing with each other in their
expressions of sympathy for the ma
tion's stricken chief. Such man
should be the object of loathing and
scorn of his fellow men. 1t has been
suggested that he ought to pay a for
felt of his seat in the United States
senate for his cold-blooded attitude,
and the Atlanta Journal edited by
Hoke Smith, who was President Cleve-
lands secretary of the interior, has
taken the pains to obtain the opinion
of some of it's southern contempor-
aries on this very point and twenty
three leading papers located at differ
ent points over the south have replied
endorsing such a proposition. Whether
Wellington cold blooded words would
be sufficient grounds for his expulsion
we know not, but there is no questi on
but that such movement would meet
hearty public approval. On the sub
iect the Atlanta journal editorially
says:
''It is the misfortune of Maryland
, that she has George l.. Wellington for
one of the United States senators.
On the evening when President Nc
Kinley was shot down, and while il
was supposed that his death was near
at hand Wellington said to a news
paper reporter: Mckinley and are
enemies. have nothing good to say
about him, and under the circum-
stances, don't care to say anything
bad. I am Indifferent to the whole
matter.
George L. Wellington has placed
himself in the category and company
of the ruffians who stood about the
bulletin boards in several cities last
Friday evening and rejoiced over a
deed that shocked the moral sense OF
the civilized mankind. He is less ex-
cusable than these comparatively in
significant blackguards, every one OF
whom was knocked down and kicked
by those who heard his 6endish
chuckle. He has branded himself az
the apologist of anarchy and assassin
alton. Is the man who could utter
that which Wellington does not deny,

Herr Most says it is the New York
Journal that is responsible for melting
such fellows as Czolgosz to muder.
Of course the red-handed anarchists
like Most will do their best to shift
the responsibility Of their acts
upon others. Still it cannot be denied
that the calamity bowler, who has
been active in stirring up discomfort,
who has without distinction called the
capitalist a robber and oppressor of
the people, who has declared without
the least evidence to back his asser-
tion that the rich are growing richer
and the poor poorer, who has declared
that legislation has been all for the
rich and against the masses of the
people, does stand in most unenvi-
able position in the light of the trag-
edy at Buffalo.

The attendance at the state fair this
year was over so, GOO greater than last
year, and the management is said to
have surplus that will reach at least
$40, 900 with which to prepare for next
year. With such surplus of funds il
would seem that the fair management
might give it's visitors from around
the state something better than the
stale midway aggregations which for
several years back it has tucked in
among it's other attractions.

Jed Mccall and man named Wicks
were locked up Tuesday on the charge
of having yesterday morning stolen a
stone hammer, pipe wrenches, trowel,
etc.. belonging to Thos. Cush, from a
barn. They are said to have sold the
articles to L. Salet, the second hand
man, for fifty cents, although worth
ten times that amount. 1t was
through information furnished by Mr..
Salet that the arrests were made.
Mccall admitted their guilt. but
Wicks denied that he had any hand in
the stealing, assisting only in the sale:
Cush refuses to prosecute the men.

Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio
fires shot at the primary election
law, which is in force in some coun-
ties in that state. He says that it is
more corrupt than the caucus system,
and is open to other evils. 1t allows
few cities in state, he says, to get
together and fix up a slate and by
shrewd political maneuvering they
can get it nominated This is probably
true. But it does not signify that they
can always get it elected. Too much
of such tanning is quite apt to be hit
by the people. But when it comes to
this feature of making up ticket, it
can be recalled that the caucus system
is not always careful in it's distribu-
tion of candidates. 1t is easy to
charge that matters are more corrupt
under one system than another, but it
would doubtless bother Mr.. Grosveror
considerably to prove his assertion
that the primary system is more COR
rupt than the caucus system. The
general effect of the primary election
scheme has been good wherever it has
been tried, though as matter of
course it has been found to be imper-
feet, and there are some features about
it that only time can cure. But be
that as it may, the people want to try
the primary system, and they should
be allowed to do so. Time and fair
treatment will thoroughly demonstrate
its value and usefulness.

MANUAL TRAINING.

The question of introducing manual
training into our high school is up for
consideration before the school board,
and it is truly to be hoped that prompt
and favorable action will be taken.
This feature of modern education is
receiving the attention that it's merit
deserves by the best schools of the
country, and it would seem that it has
been all too long neglected in Man
kato. To train the young to use their
hands to purpose is quite as essential
to complete education as to train
their minds in the right channel. In
fact one is quite as essential as the
other to prepare the boy..ssto enter the
world of business and cope success
fully with his peers.
In order that the board may be ad-
vised of public sentiment on the ques-
tion of manual training. some of our
women who are interested in educa-
tional work are circulating petition
among the citizens, and the results OF
their labors will be laid before the
board at it's next meeting. 1t is not
too much to say that we believe the
petition will be largely signed, and
that the board, knowing the wishes of
the people, will take the necessary
steps for the prompt introduction of
manual training. The basement of
the high school building is admirably
adapted for such purpose and the ex-
pense incident to its introduction will
be nominal In fact the cost will be
nothing as comapred with the benefits
that are sure to come to those of the
pupils who desire to take up this i'm
portant branch of educational work.
