Jewelled Chain to Europe.
New York. Aug. 17.-After d careful

jewelled chain possessed by Mrs. w e

her to send the chain back TO Europe,

call for an even duty of so per cent on
each of the items mentioned.

of any attempt to defraud the authoTi-

brought in a quantity of costly apparel,
jewelry and trinkets, on which she

Nat oampben for Congress.

Warren Register.
''The election of Nat Campbell as mayor
of Crookston gives that gentleman
lead for the Democratic congressional
nomination in this district that will be
hard to check. If Nat should carry off
the nomination, and we believe he WILL
the Democratic rallying cry in the new
Ninth would re-echo from one end Of
the district to the other with 1.-THE Camp
bells are coming
Commenting on the foregoing the
Crookston Daily Journal says: The above
from the Warren Register calls to mind
the proposition which was made last
year by some of the leading Democrats
of this city to secure Mr.. Campbe!ls
nomination for congress in the conven-
ton then to be held. Mr. Campbell then
refused to be candidate, giving as his
reason that as the Peoples party was
in the majority, and was supporting the
candidate of the Democratic party for
president, the nomination should be given
to that party.
When the Democratic congressional
convention was called at Fergus Falls,
Mayor Campbell placed the name of Hon.
M. J. Daily before the convention as can
didate of the Democratic party, and
thus he obtained the united support of
both the Democratic and Peoples party
for congress. 1t was on the motion and
instigation of Mayor Campbell that
the next congressional convention is to
be held in Crookston, and If we are not
mistaken the present mayor of this city
will be the unanimous nominee of the
Peoples, Democratic and Social Demo-
cratic party fer Congress In this district
at the next election.
We simply make this as a pre-conven-
ton prediction and we believe the his
tory of the past and the conditions of
the present and future will bear us out
in our prediction o

they derived from the perusal Of the
Eastern press dispatches
1t is of course universally conceded that
the Northwest is an especially favored
region during the summer season. But
the knowledge is now becoming quite
general that the great valleys of the Mis-
sissippi Missouri and Red river in the
Northwest, are among the most favored
places on the North American continent
during the winter season. Occurrences
such as this and the other great storms
which have been felt in the Eastern and
Middle states throughout the winter,
while this region has been blessed by
entire immunity from such meteorologi-
cal disturbance, represent one Of the
great forces which are operating year
by year In sending the American farm
er and artisan up into this region and
which have changed the character Of
Northwestern immigration. Not foreign
ers, but native or naturalized Americans,
it is which now make IN the bulk of i'm
migration. The regions, too, which are
now locked in the stormy embrace of
a departing winter furnish us a goodly
proportion of our new settlers.

New Use for the phone.

Philadelphia Record.
The manifold uses to which the teIe-
phone may be put are we'll illustrated
in the domestic arrangements of a proIni-
nent young lawyer. He is the unhappy
father of two boys, aged four and six
years, who could give Helen's babies Of
revered memory cards and spades and
beat them at their own game. The
mother has reached the stage where she
can no longer do anything with them;
but for their father they have a pro-
found respect. not Hnnixed with awe
when your father comes home YOU
shall have a good whipping" has been
an expression of almost daily occur
renee.
This state of affairs, however, was not
very pleasant for the father, who felt
a hesitancy about furnishing the young
sters for their misdeeds during his alb
sence. Finally the mother hit upon an
other plan, which is now in active opera
ton. There is a telephone in the house
and when one of the boys becomes OBJ
streperous he is marched to the phone.
The father is called up at his Office, the
offense is explained, and the youngster
receives a reprimand over the wire, the
receiver being held to his ear. The bows
recognize the stern voice and the nys-
terry of 1t all strikes terror to their
hearts.

HOW DIFFERENT,

The storms which are now prevailing
in the East and the terrible destruction
of property resulting from them are a
subject not only of regret but of Won
derment to the people of the Northwest
A more delightful spring day than yester-
day has rarely been witnessed in
st. Paul; while the same atmospheric
conditions are recognized as having pre-
vailed not only in ST. Paul but all over
the state
The great sweep of the prevailing storm
is indeed remarkable. The Genesee, Cum
berland and Ohio valleys, Illinois and
the Middle West generally are affected
The danger to life and property which
exists is not the result of the prevailing
storm alone. Tt is due to the unsatisfac-
tory conditions which have prevailed gem
orally throughout the East and South
during the winter which has just been
brought to a close in the Northwest, but
which continues with such remarkab, 81
intensity in the regions referred to.
No greater contrast could be offered
than is furnished in the meteorological
conditions which have distinguished the
region now swept by those terrific storms
and those which have prevailed with us
during the past six months. The spring
freshetS have come and gone here. and
the great Mississippi Red river and Mis-
souri, valleys are free from all danger
OF floods such as now prevail throughout
the East and the Middle West. The sea-
son of navigation on the Mississippi is
about to open at the very head of the
great stream, and all the preparations
are being made in absolute safety by
the farmers of the Northwest for the
planting OF their crops Not single
storm Of magnitude has visited this sec
ton during the past winter.
1t can hardly be regarded as surprising
in view of such a condition eff affa. RS that
the movement of settlement is setting
III with such tremendous force toward
this region The Northwest has been
persstently misrepresented by the East
ern press as to its climatic conditions
for the past twenty-five years. The
storms which swoop down on Eastern
communities with such frequency. the
world has been told by the newspaper
fraternity of the East, have all had their
origin in the Northwest; while. as a mat
ter of fact, in the majority of such cases
the only knowledge which the people of
the Northwest have had Of them is what
