A few years passed and Miss Elwyn
was again seated in the bismarck
garden" this time in the society OF
one of the most promising physicians
in Chicago,
Neither her winsome smile nor her
personal charm had attracted him.
He was the worshiper of her mind, and
the humber slave, who did homage to
the brilliancy of her wit, So elevated
and impersonal was his attraction
that he had once told her: "Were you
ten years older, and as ugly as night,
/ should still be your bondsman. For
it is your spirit, your soul reverence"
Tonight he asked her to share his
life. live his ideals and help him carve
his future.
And again she hesitated. But this
time she was almost ashamed of her
self. For here was at length a man
who approXimated her ideal more
closely than any other she had ever
met That is, in regard TO the breadth
of his mentality, the cleanness and
purity of his soul
But, physically, this man was de-
cidedly wanting; for he was puny
and sallow and, save for lofty brow
and intellectual air, hopelessly insig-
nifcant in appearance.
IT'S true she had read somewhere
of late words to this effect: MAN may
be considered as a body with a soul
but it bespcaks much higher stage OF
3 evolution when we can consider him as
a soul with body wrapped about it,

MANKATO BUTTER.
The Local Creamery is Producing a Gilt
Edged Variety.

The Mankato creamery is again
selling all of it's produce in this city,
and cannot turn out butter fast
enough. 1t is at present manufactur-
ing about $50 pounds day. The most
of the grocers and some of the hotels
use it, and it's excellence is such that
all of the grocers should sell it. The
new butter maker is Sherman
Batcheller, who was butter maker for
the Judson creamery for five years and
gave that creamery such reputation
that its butter was sought far and
wide. For the past year he has held
a similar position in the creamery at
Eyota. His return to this county is
fortunate, and he is already putting
Mankato butter in the front rank. - 49,.
: There is--no reason why pound sof
Mankato creamery butter should be
shipped abroad. as no better butter can
be secured than that produced by Mr..
Batcheller. The new manager of the
creamery, Mr.. Veigel, has taken hold
and is giving much of his time to a
personal supervision of the work of the
creamery. He is the right man for the
place.

and his abilities as an organizer. viii
probably pull him through safely.
Judge Morris of Duluth will also bt
opposed, and it is whispered that hi
chief opponent will be young Mr..
Window, at present president of the
moribund State League of Republican
clubs. But the judge has many ele
ments of personal popularity amon@
the 'plain people. Under the Ole
convention system his fate might be
uncertain, but this will not be the case
under the primary law. His chief op
posers in the district have been lot
of disappointed Office seekers, would
be postmasters for the most part, and
they were scattered through the dis
trict in way to make his case looE
rather doubtful. But the primary
law will retire this gentry to the real
rank. If Judge Morris is not renomi'
mated next year it will be because the
people do not want him. The candl'
dates will all come from st. Louis
county, which will dominate the new
district at every point. Should Judge
Morris come anywhere breaking
even in that county with his oppon,
ent he will be renominated by large
majority, for the rest of the district
will be his almost without a struggle.
Congressman Fletcher of Minneapo-
lis is regarded down here as being in
a class by himself. His record is dis
tinctively in his favor. From the
point of view of services rendered the
party and district he is entitled to an
other term, but the urban vote is
VIGOROUSLY unreliable everywhere in
the country. Everything will depend
upon who is to run against Mr..
Fletcher at the primaries. The talk
of DR.. Ames being candidate is not
so far regarded down this way as be.
ing serious, but one can't always tell
what few months or year will
bring forth in politics. Mr.. Fletcher
will be candidate again, and with
DR.. Ames as an opponent the contest
would be sufficiently lively even for
the most critical With his present
experience and acquaintance, Mr..
Fletcher is now in position to accom-
plish more in one term than man
like DR.. Ames would accomplish in a
lifetime This may sound extravaganza,
but t is probably the exact truth.
The legislature, in its reapportion-
ment bill, has made more trouble for
Congressman Eddy than for any other
member of the present delegation. 1t
has taken a part. of his old seventh dis
trict and tied it up with lot of new
counties to the south. In these new
counties are several men who have
congressional aspirations, among them
Speaker M. J. Bowling, Senator Ed
Young and possibly Lieutenant Cover
nor Lyndon Smith Eddy will
easily control his old counties, but this
will not give him enough votes to
nominate. He will in addition poll a
very respectable vote in the new coun-
ties; but whether the total will be
enough to land the nomination is yet
a question. In a two-party race Mr..
Eddy's chances would be considerably
better, than where three or more are
in the field. In the end it may be that
Senator Young may not come into the
race and should the race be between
Eddy and Bowling it would be very
pretty one.

RADICAL RULING.
Police Officials Lose Fees in
State Cases.
County Attorney Wilson CONSTITUTES the
Law to Mean That POllcemen's
Salaries Are Sufficient.

County Attorney Wilson has decided
on a course of procedure that will
save the county good deal of money
but will bring down upon his head
the wrath of the police force, and es-
pecially of the chief He holds that
police officers are not entitled to any
fees for arrests in any case in whic b
the state of Minnesota is the plaintiff.
He holds that law passed at the
recent legislative session together with
laws previously on the statute books
make it clear that the salary paid the
police officers is intended to be sufi-
cient recompense for them.
Mr.. Wilson holds that the police are
entitled to only their actual expense
money, and that this will include
only railroad fare and meals. The
police will get no fees hereafter for
being witnesses in incorrigible cases.
The result of this ruling, and Mr..
Wilson says that he will abide strictly
by il until turned down by some court
decision, will be to turn more fees to
the sheriff's Office The new ruling
is expected to make a difference of
$50 to 500 month to the chief of
police.
One of Mr.. Wilson, chief troubles
in Office has been to divide the bust
ness euuably between the sheriff and
the chief of police. An agreement has
been had between these two officials
for some time past, but the chief s
share of the fees were much greater
than the sheriff had expected and this
opened the question up again.
Chief Bowen went to Red Wing
with Bessie Ross today, but this will
be the last case that he will draw fees
in until the courts pass upon the
matter.

INDIAN SIGNALS.
The Long Distant Code by Which the
Red Men COnyersed.

The traveller on the plains in the
early days soon learned the significance
of the spires of smoke that he some
times saw rising from distant ridge
or hill and that in turn he might see
answered from different direction.
IL was the signal talk of the Indians
across miles of intervening ground, a
signal used in rallying the warriors
for an attack or warning them for a
retreat when that seemed advisable.
The Indian had way of sending
up the smoke in rings or puffs, know
ing that such a smoke column would
at once be noticed and understood as
of some campfire. He made the rings
by covering the little fire with his
blanket for a moment and then sud
denly removing the blanket and allow
ing the smoke to ascend, when he in
stantly covered the fire again. The
column of ascending smoke rings
said to every Indian within 80 miles
Look out. There is an enemy near. -
Three smokes built close togeth er
meant danger. One smoke merely
meant attention. Two smokes meant
Camp at this place. Travel the
plains, and the usefulness of this long
distance telephone will quickly become
apparent.
Sometimes at night the settler or
taveler saw fiery lines crossing the
sky, shooting up and falling, per-
haps taking direction diagonal to
the line of vision. He might guess
that these were the signals of Indians,
but unless he were an old timer he
might not be able to interpret the sig
mails. The old timer and the squaw
man knew that one fire arrow IAN ar
row prepared by treating the head of
the shaft with gnupowder and fine
bark meant the same as the column
of smoke puffs-viz, can enemy is
near" Two arrows meant dan
ger. Three arrows said Imperative
ly, This danger is great. Several
arrows said 1.-THE enemy are too many
for US. Two arrows shot up into
the air at once meant "We shall at

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Speculation as to Effect OF Pri-
mary Law on Congressman.
Jermane Reviews the Chance of the Pres
ent Delegation. Will Be
Stronger, While Some Will
Not Stand So Well.

Minneapolis Journal Washington
correspondence
The Minnesota colony in Washington
is discussing with a great deal OF In
terest the probable fate of the presen
congressional delegation undel' The
new primary election law. Two add1
tionai congressman are provided for,
bringing the delegation up from seven
to nine. Undoubtedly, each of the
seven members now sitting will be a
candidate for denomination. The ques-
tiOn is, how will the primary law and
the new district lines affect them?
1t is conceded very generally that
Tawney in the first district will be as
strong under.t the primary law as under
the old delegate convention system,
and perhaps stronger, for it is recalled
that while he has made some enemies
among the practical politicians of the
district, the rank and file of the voters
are friendly to him and want to see
him succeed himself. His nomination
next wear is regarded as being certain.
McCleary in the second district is
aldo one of the fortunate ones The
primary law, if it has made any
change at all, has given McCleary a
stronger hold on his position than he
had before, which is saying a good
deal. The redistricting has not hurt
him. He had nothing to desire, either
in the way of district or of personal
and political popularity.
Congressman Heatwole belongs in
the same class with Tawney and Nc
Cleary in having no serious opposition,
and being in a district where practi-
cally a unanimous nomination under
the primary system will be followed by
triumphant election. There has been
some question whether Mr. Heatwole
would want to be returned to Wash
ington after the ffty-seventh congress.
This question he himself has raised,
but it is not thought that he will step
down and out at present. He is
credited with having an ambition to
be governor, and this means that he
must keep close in touch with the pub
lie until the time comes for him to
make the gubernatorial venture. He
would sacrifice much were he to drop
out of congress or take the out of-the-
way position of public printer. At
least this is the opinion of his Wash
ington friends, even of those who are
most anxious to see him made public
printer. That Office might bring his
public career to a close abruptly.
Congressman Stevens and Morris
are in class by themselve S, so far
as the nomination next year is con-
cerned. Neither has a strong hold up
on his district as that possessed by the
three men just named, but at the
same time both will probably be re-
nominated. Stevens has some opposi
ton in st. Paul. originating with GER

him displaced in order that room may
