SHAW WILL STAY.
Decides Not to Accept the South Dakota
Offer.

st. Paul, Oct. 19.-Thomas Shaw,
professor of animal industry at the
state college of agriculture will not
leave Minnesota. He has decided to
refuse the offer the South Dakata col
lege of agriculture.
The SouthDakota offer was tempting
to Prof Shaw, both because of the f.
nancial considerations and because of
the opportunities it would have given
him for work along the lines in which
he is especially interested. South
Dakota wanted him for the chair of
agriculture and animal hubsandry in
the agricultural school. He would
have been director of the state expert
ment station at Brookings, and he
would have had supervision of the
United States experiment station at
Highmore.
South Dakota will be disappointed
at not getting Prof. Shaw. The re-
gents of the South Dakota school have
been after him previously, but he had
declined their offers. This time they
made so tempting an offer that he was
compelled to give it serious considera.
tion.
Among the influences that helped to
guide him TO mis- decision were une
many expressions of public sentiment
that have come to him, urging him tc
stay in the state. But it did not need
the danger of losing him to make
Minnesota appreciate Prof. Shaw.
The people of the state have always
held MIN in high esteem for his labors
for the advancement ofMinnesota agri
culture.
1.-TWO features of the offer were tt
me very tempting Prof Shaw saii
yesterday. "The first was the large
liberty of action, which directorshiI
brings with it, and which one having
a subordinate position cannot have
And the second was the exact natur,
of the experimental work. 1t wal
work that my heart has been set upol
investigating since I came west, ant
which l cannot do in my present posi-
ton. -

EDWARD EGGLEST0N.
Some Additional Facts Of His Early
Minnesota Life.

A few DAYS ago we gave d UlAOI az
count of Edward rEggleston's life in
Minnesota in the early days. In this
same connection the following from
the Minneapolis Journal will be of in
terest:
Those who have used our material
are very few, but one of these is Ed
ward Eggleston, who is i'll at his home
in New York. EgglestOn came to
Minnesota in that fioodtide of emigra-
ton which swept up the Mississippi
valley in the sos. He spent fifteen
or twenty years in the state, the years
when life was at its most strenuous
endeavor, when the laws of desire, of
cupidity, of the natural were superior
to man-made laws; when men and
women sloughed off the husks of CIVIL
ization and lived on the frontier, not
only the frontier of the nation, but the
frontier of emotion.
Eggleston was in the heart OF 1t.
Then it was supposed that Peter and
not Paul would be the patron saint OF
the state. The town of st. Peter near
the head of the Minnesota, had large
aspirations, and, strangely, it found
in Traverse des Sioux, a mile down
the river and an old French trading
post. a rival against which was waged
as bitter an inter-civic war as ever
was seen in Rimini against Ravenna
or st. Paul against Minneapolis.
So far as 1 know, Mr.. Eggleston
has never written of this rivalry, and
one must hope that he will not let it
pass with him out of the memory OF
man. He was at that time Method
ist clergyman, and had both the pc
culiar opportunities afforded by that
church for the study of emotions, and
the general exhibit of that naked life OF
the almost wilderness.
Those were days of action, not OF
psychology. And yet when a lawyer
named Simons slapped the slender
Eggleston on one cheek and the minis
ter turned the other, Simons of st:
Peter, felt the force of the mind back
of it, and, like an earlier Simon
Peter, he did not tarry for q third
rebuke. .-
Mr.. Eggleston has not employed that
wealth of frontier incident the way one
wishes he had. His Mystery of
Metropolisville," for instance, which
is laid in its scenes at Red Wing is not
so organic a work so intimate, and
did not win the success that his
'Hoosier School master" did The
teller who is born must work in
the material of his early environment.
Let us hope then that some are being
born in Minnesota today or yesterday.

BUYS MORE LAND.
Mankato Company Secures 10000 Acres
in Cass and Hubbard Counties.

III LASS 6BQ luDDdIu OOuntitS.
The Central Minnesota immigration
Co. of this city has just purchased
eight townships of land in Cass and
Hubbard counties, with total acre
age of something over 20, 1000 acres.
These lands are advantageously located
on the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways, and are contiguous
to good towns and markets. They are
chiefly hardwood lands, maple, oak,
ironwood, elm and poplar predomi-
mating.
1t is the intention of the company
to put these lands on the market at
once, and having been purchased at a
low figure they will be sold in small
lots OF 100 and 80 acres to actual set
tiers, on long time.
! This company has been very sue
cessful in its sales, as it has sold dur
ing the past season about ten thousand
acres of their holdings in Cass county,
sales having been almost entirely to
practical farmers, several of whom
Will engage III SUCK rdlsiuS on q 1dI 81
scale. Among the recent sales is one
to Fred Barnard of this city, who has
purchased 800 acres and will engage in
sheep raising, for which this land
seems well adapted.
The officers of the company are Geo.
M. Palmer president, F. NJ. Currie1
treasurer, and s. D. Works secretary
and manager.
The rush for lands in the north part
of the state surpasses all previous re.
cords, two or three counties having
nearly doubled their population &C
cording to very conservative esti.
mates in the past year.
