.lroQuois Lands!

Iroquois is situated on the
North Western Railway near
the west line of Kingsbury
county, $50 miles due west
from New Ulm. The lands
we have for sale at this Office
are mostly in Kingsbury and
Beadle counties. You will
notice Kinsbury is in the sec
iond tier of counties west of
the Minnesota line. The sur
face of the land in this locali-
ty is smooth, no stones, no

THE LESSON 1T TEACHES.

To those, if any there be, who do not
thoroughly understand the nature of a
democratic form of government, the
main object of meeting such as was
held on Thursday may not seem appar-
ent. The safeguard of this nation does
not lie in the great numbers of its peo-
pie nor in their wealth, but it lies in the
intelligence of Its citizenship. This ma
tion is an experiment, testing whether
all nationalities can live in peace under
one form of government, and the solu-
tion of the problem IS found in the edu-
cation of the masses. In the recent great
disaster that has so rudely befaIlen this
nation the people have learned lesson
in patriotism that will never, as long as
the republic endures, be forgotten. The
spect shown to the dead president,
while to men grounded in the tenets of
the government, may net appeal to
them very strongly, to the youth of the
land will teach lesson more impressive
than could be learned in all the schools
of the land. In years to come the tri-
butte of respect shown on Thursday, will
be matter of great pride to the people
and its lesson will be more enduring
than monuments of granite.

CREAMERIES

are quite plentiful in this To-
cality. Almost every little
town has it's creamery. The
dairy interests here are asur-
prise and a revelation. A low,
conservative estimate of the
product from one good cow is
S25.OO cash for milk sold and
$1,000 for the calf, making a
total of $500 on the native
grass alone for one season.
John Armstrong, of Kings
bury county, received for the
butter product Of his COWS in
the year 1899 $45.97 per COW
for an average of sixteen
COWS. Mr.. Dodge, of the same
county, received $1,000 for
butter and $500 for calf.
During some years fifty to
sixty COWS can be taken care
of on a quarter section of this
land winter and summer.

CROPS.

Corn does we'll here when
properly tended and will yield
from forty to fifty bushelsper
acre. Flax from ten to fifteen,
wheat from ten to twenty
eight. Oats, barley and rye
are especially good crops to
raise and generally make a
good yield.
Disease among hogs in this
locality is almost unknown,
which makes it profitable to
raise them.

COMPARATIVE PRICES.
le Minneannlis nanars

The Minneapolis papers recently
quoted prices of vegetable products in
that city showing how much more 1t
cost to provide for family this year
than last. The difference in cost is
really startling and to one not ac-
| quainted with the actual conditions it
would appear that the farmers had a
gigantic combination and were squeez-
ing the working man to finish. But
everybody knows that it is due to the
unusual scarcity of vegetables this year.
All food products in which oats or
corn are the constituents are about SO
per cent higher than year ago. This
includes oatm cal, rolled oats, corn meal,
hominy and similar food stuffs. Higher
prices also prevail both for canned
vegetables and canned fruits, the raise
having been brought about not aloue
through the scarcity of vegetables and
fruits, but by the increased price of tin
as we'll. Apples, which, brought high
prices year ago, are still higher today.
Caulifower and peas are no longer on
the market. Sweet corn is still to be
| had, but the season is almost over. It
is selling to-day for Is cents dozen,
about double last years price. Fruits,
with the exception of peaches, are all
much above the usual price. Flour is
about the same as it was last year.
Turnips, rutabagas and carrots, for
which there is little demand at present,
are all high and will go higher.
The price of potatoes,-$1.OO per
bushel is probably about as high now as
it will 60. The scarcity locally has been
brought about by recent rains, which
have prevented the farmers from digging
their crop. With two or three dry days
the price is expected to fall back to 80
or IS cents. The potato crop has been
good in Minnesota this year, and the
high prices are due to the demand from
southern markets, where the crop was
almost total failure. In past years
Minnesota farmer has considered $75
good return for an acre planted in
potatoes. This year each acre has paid
from $3.50 to $500, and that too, on
land worth anywhere from $40 to 500
an acre. The farmer is reaping the
benefit. Cabbages which year ago
brought $3 ton in the local wholesale
market, are selling to-day at from $12
to $14.
With foods, fuel and rents all much
| higher than they were a year ago, the
man who must care for his family on
the same salary he received in 1900 is
having hard time of it. The wages
paid labor in the cities have not changed
much from the schedule in force last
fall, while the prices of necessities have,
in many cases doubled.

THE! SOIL

is a rich black loan with a
clay subsoil. Small grain,
corn, root crops and the hard
ier fruits flourish with abund-
ant yields when properly cul-
tivated. This locality is es-
pecially noted for the luxuri-
ant variety and nutritious quail
tiles of it's grasses and is par
ticularly adapted to stock
raising. Plenty of water is
to be had both by surface and
artesian wells. These noted
artesian wells are obtained at
a depth of 500 to 800 feet and

LAND

sells for $500 to $4,000 for un-
improved and $500 to SIS for

ton. The opportunity we now
offer will not last long, and
the history of cheap, rich land
tells us it will never come
again. Now is the time to get
a home to work for yourself,
your own interests and your
own family. These lands can
be bought right and with a
small advance payment. You
can make your own farm in a
short time. Tell lus your wants
today as this land will soon go
to $500 per acre because it's

FAVORS CUBAN ANNEXATION.
Views of the Captain of the Port Of
Havana,

New York, Nov. 22.-Lieutenant
Commander Lucien Young of the
United States navy has arrived here
from Havana on leave of absence.
He is captain of the port at that city
and has charge of all marine matters
in Cuba. In discussing the relations
between Cuba and the United States
he expressed himself in favor of an
nexation, saying:
'The economic conditions OF Cuba
at the present time are worse than
ever in its history, even worse than
at the close of the Ten Years war.
It's sugar is being sold at $3.13A for
100 pounds, when it costs 1910 per
100 pounds to raise it; 10 per cent Of
the tobacco crop is unsold and sweat
ing in the barns. There is not a candi-
date booked for Office in the senate or
in the congress who could sign his
name for a SIS check.
"All the successful industries of
Cuba are dependent on the United
States and annexation is the only sal
vation of Cuba, for annexation means
free trade with the United States.''

Governor-Elect Cnmmins of Iowa on
Railroad Consolidation.


Railroad Consolidation.
New York, Nov. 22.-Governor-El Elect
A. B. Cummins of Iowa, who is at
present in New York, said in respect
to the possible results of the joint
control of Western railways by the
Northern Securities company:
II do not believe there will be any
organized opposition in Iowa to the
organization of Western railroads.
There is a wide difference of opinion
In our state as to the result of the
combination, While it is recognized
that the movement places a great pow
er in few hands, it is recognized also
that that power may be useu for the
peoples good as we'll as to their detri-
ment. It is felt that it may eliminate
cutting of rates, rebates to large ship
pers and give steadines to transporta-
toin charges. These are some of the
things that at present are the greatest
troubles to our people.
"On the other hand, the consolida-
tion places in the hands of those at the
head of the movement a. power that
contains the elements of peril. If it
is used to reduce the accommodation
of the lines consolidated, to raise their
rates and decrease facilities for ship
pers and passengers in order to econ
omize, there is no doubt the people
will be prompt in taking such recourse
as is in their power"

SOME CHANGES DESIRABLE.
Report Of Referees on the Present
Bankruptcy Law.

New York, Nov. 22.-The National
Association of Referees in Bankruptcy
has about completed its investigation
to learn the sentiment of business men
throughout the country regarding
changes desired in the national bank
ruptcy law. No report can be pub
lished until the results have been
turned over to the judiciary committee
of the house of representatives 1t
was at the request of Hon. George W.
Ray Of the committee that the investi-
cation was undertaken. According to
The Journal of Commerce many local
business men say, however, that there
is no doubt that the report will indi-
cate a sentiment in favor of national
as against state Legislation and also
in favor of amendments to the present
law in accordance with the bill pre-
pared by Mr. Ray. A meeting of the
executive committee of the referees
has been called for Nov 80 at Bing-
hampton, N. Y, at which a report will
be formulated for the use of the ju-
dietary committee.

AGAIN CAUSING ANXIETY.
Question of Genera! Strike of French,
Miners.

New York, Nov. 22.-The question
of a general strike of the French min
ers, says the Paris correspondent OF
The Times, is again causing anxiety.
Since the reopening of the chambers
the premier, the minister of commerce
and the minister of public works
have been kept busy with audiences
in which they formulated their opin-
ions. The labor exchanges ring night
ly with speeches by stump orators.
The miners three demands-shorter
hours, more pay and pensions-would,
if granted, says the correspondent, in
volve an annual expense to the state
of S0,000,O0O francs.
The dispatch says it is evident that
the leaders of the miners take no real
interest in a complete settlement The
mems demands, If granted, would in
evitably cause the ruin of the major
ity of the mine proprietors and share.

SOME BODIES RECOVERED.
Scores, of Unfortunates Either Dead or
Imprisoned.

Imprisoned.
Telluride, Colo, Nov. 22.-Nearly
100 men were probably suffocated to
death in the smuggler Union mine at
Marshall Basin as the result of fire
which consumed the buildings at the
mouth of the Bullion tunnel. Twenty
two miners are known to be dead and
scores of others are in the mine work
lngs, either suffocated to death or
seeking safety in remote parts Of the
mine until the place is cleared of foul
gases and smoke.
Fire broke out in the tramway bunk
house at the mouth of the Bullion tun-
mel, the principal opening from which
the property is worked, and spread
rapidly to the boiler and enginehouse,
blacksmith shop, the tramway ter
l1linal, with its great ore bins, and
several smaller buildings.
A strong draft drew the smoke from
the burning buildings directly into the
tunnel and the miles of drifts, up
raises and slopes connecting with it
began to fill rapidly with the smoke.
In the excitement of trying to con-
troll the fire in the outside buildings
the mine was forgotten and before
the situation was realized the working
was fast filling with dense smoke.
By this time the buildings about the
mouth of the tunnel were all ablaze
and nothing %ould be done to stop the
smoke from going in.
AS soon as it was possible great
bodies of rock were blown down into
the tunnel mouth and the opening
stopped, but not until the workings
were filled and the smoke was work
ing its way through the shafts to the
surface "a mile or more up the noun.
tain from the tunneEhouse.
The day Tift, some 200 men, had
gone into tie mine and reached their
stations before the fire started. It is
known that some of the men escaped
through the old Sheridan tunnel and
also through the old Union workings
but they are thought to have been but
small part of the force in the mine
The Smuggler Union is the largest
mine in the Telluride district, the out
put being about two-thirds of the total
from the camp. It is owned by New
York and Boston capitalists.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Wheat opened
Nc lower than yesterdays close. The
bears sold freely this morning but
their offerings have been taken by good
commission houses. There has been
good rains in the southwest today re-
heving the drouth which has existed
in the winter district belt This helped
the bears in the early trading, but the
market hardened and advanced &c.
The Modern Miller says: Wheat is
being fed largely to stock in the south
west. and. from their reports, they es-
: inmate that 25 and possibly SO million
bushels will be consumed in this man
ner during the season. 90. + ,.-.
Upon Investigation we find that the
talk that there had been shipments of
wheat from Duluth to Chicago via the
lakes to have been largely exaggerated
as there was only one cargo shipped
and that there is no more in sight.
The market has been quiet and rather
fesatureless, but it took very little buy
ing to make a, sharp advance in prices.
Corn opened at yesterdays closing
prices, and on some fairly large offer
ings by bears the market sold off &c.
The early loss was soon regained, how
ever, strong operators taking on fur
ther large additions to their holdings.
This fact strengthens OUR opinion that
we shall surely see much higher prices
for corn. T. .. -

mittee on Interstate and foreign com
1nercc, and Senator Morgan Of Ala

mittee on interoceanic canals, will

3ist of the substitution of s1s9,000,0 900

Increase in cost of the canal. Both
Mr.. Hepburn and Senator Morgan are
entirely confident that the bill will
pass without delay or friction during
the first two months of congress. The
measure is so we'll understood by near.
little time will be required to discuss.
Inasmuch as the house passed the bill
it can be expected to do SO within a

for passage. The senate, which likes
to spend time over measures of the i'm
portance of the canal bill, cannot be
expected to be SO prompt as the house
But Senator Morgan, after careful
canvass of his associates, expresses
the belief that there will be as little
delay as possible in that branch o1
congress. Colonel Hepburn said:
"My information is, and that infor
nation comes from a source thai
ought to be reliable. that there is
nothing in our new agreement with
Great Britain which will prevent the
United States from building the cana

by the house bill of last session. The
report of the canal commission, which
is to be made, will, as I understand
also require no changes in the legisla

therefore, appears to favor the prompt
passage of the Nicaragua canal bill.
