GOLDEN BUTTER.
The Creamery Exhibit at State Fair
Notes Dairy Progress.

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
Dairy hall as of yore one of the most
interesting buildings at the fair. The
extremely rapid growth of the dairy
interests in Minnesota prove beyond
question the great possibilities offered
by the rich plains of the North Star
state, and the interested crowds at
dairy hall indicate as plainly that the
Minnesota farmer is becoming thor
oughly alive to those advantages.
One whole side of the building is
given up to the exhibitors of dairy
machinery. The heavy steam machines
for the big ereameries and the hun
dreds of devices for securing best re-
suits easily in the little dairy conduct
ed by the farm housewife are shown
in numbers to the uninitiated, at least,
bewildering. Nearly two-thirds of
the south side of the building and part
of the center booths are occupied by
the large exhibitors of creamery pro-
ducts, and.the remainder is occupied
by the big glass. enclosed. cold storage
room for the exhibition of cheese,
shown in seemingly endless variety
and shapes.
One ofsthe most striking exhibits is
the heroic statue of Vice President
Roosevelt, in his Rough Rider uni
form, astride spirited charger. The
statue and its pedestal is modelled in
golden butter.

GOLD IN WHEAT BIN.
A Farmer Near La Crosse Finds Sc OK
Full In His Granary.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 3.-John
Walum, a well-known farmer residing
near Holmen, this county, unearthed
sack of gold in his granary today
while measuring wheat preparatory TO
taking it to market. About two years
ago Ole Walum died, leaving no will.
He left forty-acre farm, which was
divided among five sons, but nothing
was done about the cash which his
children knew he had at the time of
his death. All efforts to locate the
missing money proved fruitless until
today, when sack was found at the
bottom of the granary. 1t contained
nearly thousand dollars of which $3.50
was in gold, and the balance in notes and
securities. No reason is given for not
leaving word as to where the money
had been placed, inasmuch as there
was no trouble between the sons and
father previous to his death. Applica-
ton has been made to appoint an ad-
ministrator.

ROOSEVELT AND COMBINES,

Our interests are at bottom common :;
IN Ghe long run we go up or down to-
getner. Yet more and more it is evil
Dent that the state, and if necessary,
the nation, has got to possess the right
OF supervision and control as regards
the great business mbinations which
derive portion of their Importance
| from the existence of some monopolis-
tic tendency. The right should be ex-
ercised with caution and self restraint ;
but it should exist that it may be in
voked if the need arises Theodore
Roosevelt at Minnesota state fair.
In these remarks the vice president
has clearly mapped out the policy that
will through the future have to be pur-
sued toward great combinations of
capital. We wish to call attention to
this feature Of Mr.. Roosevelt becau &c
it is utterly devoid of all demagogism,
and also because it marks we'll the
policy which the more conservative
have felt ought to be pursued toward
organized capital He brings out
strongly the fact that this right of
control and regulation should be used
with caution and self-restraint. There
should be no unfairness exercised, no
wiping out of capital or sweeping
away of industry as demagogues often
advocate. What difference between
this clear-headed conservative view of
Roosevelt, and the radical utterances
of Bryan. Those of the latter are
clearly framed to stir up discomfort
among the workingmen, to make them
feel that if they have been unfairly
dealt with vengeance should be wreck
ed upon capital, and its right to carry
on great industries swept away.
Roosevelt has been proclaimed to the
people from some quarters as impulsive
and unsafe as leader, and yet his Ian
guage as quoted above would indicate
that amid great responsibilities. he
would caution conservative course
which would not work to the injury of
either labor or capital. He recognizes
fully that the present operations of
capital Is result OF the evolution OF
our civilization, and not the outcome
of legislative action as many mis-
takenly believe or declare. and so he
notes that any action that would prove
detrimental to the progress of capital
would prove equally detrimental to the
progress ana prosperity of labor. But
he sees clearly that there are tenden
oies and evils that must be ourbed and
hence his warning that the right SO to
do should be used with caution and
self-restraint. Thus he shows himself
to be the real friend of labor for he
engages in no demagogism in assert
ing it's rights or setting forth its pro-
lection from the evils growing out of
capitalistic combinations.

AT CHARLESTON.
Plans to Take the Minnesota Exhibit to
the West Indies Expo.

James MacMullen, in charge of the
Minnesota exhibit at the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, is anxious to see this
state represented at the South Carolina
and West Indies exposition, to be
opened at Charleston, Dec. 1. Mr..
Macmillan says the entire exhibit now
at Buffalo could be shipped south and
set up on the Charleston grounds at a
cost of about $4,000, and he thinks
the investment would more than pay
for itself as advertising.
Minnesota has made an excellent
showing at Buffalo, and although the
entire appropriation of $50, 600 voted
by the legislature for exposition pur-
poses will be exhausted before the
Buffalo show closes, an attempt will
be made to raise the required $40, 900
among patriotic residents of the state
to take the exhibit to Charleston. Mr..
Macmillan says the southern show
will be a hummer, and is enthusi-
astically in favor of having the Mime
sofa exhibit sent there.

SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Claimed There is Not Enough at Books
to Supply the, Northwest.

Duluth, Sept. Goal men say that
the reason for the really alarming
shortage in receipts of coal at the head
of the lakes is that cars for carrying
it to lower lake ports are not to be
had. In other words that a car fam
inc exists there. They do not see any
reason for expecting this famine to
diminish, especially as the ore men
are still pushing ore forward as fast as
possible. If it does not diminish and
if coal is not brought into the north
west faster than it has been for the
first half the season of navigation,
there will be serious condition be-
fore next spring. There will not be
enough hard coal to keep the people
warm except what may be brought up
in the winter all rail.
Other people think that the talk of a
Car famine is fake excuse and that
receipts are kept at as low point as
possible in order to put the prices to
any point the trust may want later.
The condition in bituminous coal
is about the same as that in anthra-
cite. Several of the companies re-
ceived so little soft coal during the
early months of summer as to have
difficulty in maintaining their crews
and in keeping their docks busy. This
in spite of the fact that there is larger
demand and greater consumption of
bituminous coal this year, on account
of the increase in transportation and
manufacturing, than for q long time.

MANY REQUESTS.
COun B ard Listens 10 Several D sic.
cations,

HutlUuss
The county board met Tuesday after
noon and listened to several delega-
tions. Former commissioner Chas
Graf presented petition asking that
the road to Lake Madison and Lake
Washington that goes by his place be
surfaced with six inches of broken stone
at an expense which is estimated by
County Surveyor Brooks at $1,000.
The road is low and wet in places. A
sixteen foot driveway is contemplated.
A delegation from Vernon Center
appeared and asked that a road be
opened up east of that place for dis
lance of three miles. 1t is now only a
cartway.
A petition for an overhead bridge
in Rapidan, over the Milwaukee
track, and for bridge in Medo were
received.
The committee on the proposed i'm
provement of the South Bend road will
make favorable report at this meet
ing.
Bids were opened for steel bridge

FRANCES NEWEST FAD.

The very latest Partisan circus
novelty to be brought to this country
is most remarkable performance,
that is both cranial and equilibric, by
man and woman known as La Duo
Devine The man handles the woman
very much as if she might be rubber
ball, holding, throwing and carrying
her in every conceivable and many
indescribable ways. They eliminate
their remarkable performance by the
woman standing upon her head on the
head of the man. and while in this
break-neck position the man runs up
and down stairs and around the ring
as freely and carelessly as though he
bore no burden at all. This is but
single one of the well-nigk innumer
able features of the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Goth Century Col
lossus, which will exhibit here on Sat-
urday, September 18th.

OVERHEAD BRIDGE NEEDED.

A petition is being circulated, asking
the county board to build an overhead
bridge across the Milwaukee track one
mile north of Rapidan station. The
crossing is very unsafe one and &C
cidents are liable to happen there any
time until it has been fixed
Another dangerous crossing is that
of the G. & N. w. track on the Lake
Washington road. There is reverse
curve in cut, making it impossible
to see very far in either direction.
One of our business men had very
narrow escape there the ether evening,
while driving with his family. An
engine came backing along rapidly
without lights, and did not whistle
until after passing the crossing.

J. D. Hickey,a former vice president
of the Amalgamated association. made
an address to the steel strikers at the
Bay View works, Milwaukee, in
which he severely arraigned President
Shaffer for the strike. Hickey said
there was no cause for the strike and
that it is practically lost to the work
ingmen. He said that Messrs. Nor
gan and Schwab made President
Shaffer a most reasonable offer, and
that had it been accepted four more
mills would have come under the
influence of the union and that Mr.
Morgan pledged his word that if the
organization kept faith in these four
mills and lived up to it's agreement he
would pledge his word that within
two years every mill controlled by the
combine would be included in the
contract with the AmaIgamated as
ISOLATION. Hickey had just returned
from a visit to Pittsburg, where he
had been on visit. Of inquiry to find
out the situation for the Bay View
men. If his statement is correct, it
will be at once seen that all that has
been alleged against the mismanage-
ment of the affairs of the association
by Shaffer are true, and that great
wrong has been perpetrated upon
workingmen by one whom they had
every right to expect to be their
friend. Shaffer evidently is not large
enough man for the place he occupies.
One can hardly imagine either Messrs.
Gompers, Arthur or Mitchell leading
the hosts of labor upon such forlorn
struggle in the face of such an offer
as Mr.. Hickey says was offered by
Morgan. The men were setting good
wages, and were generally opposed to
going out. This is truly a case where
the worst blow to organized labor has
not come from capital, but from those
who are supposed to be, and should be
labor's best friends.

SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON.

Did you ever consider what you are
going to do when too old for active
work. The average man grinds all his
life in the pursuit of money. When
he is so old that he can't work he has
no interests to fall.. back on life with
out his employment is useless. 1t pays
we'll to take little time each day for
careful reading. to work up an interest
to fall back on. If you are too nerv-
GUS to leave your work, try Golden
Grain Belt" beer; it will rest and
quiet you. Brewed from the purest
barley malt and hops. it is an ideal
tonic and delicious table beverage. Or

These bills were unsigned by the presi-

BENEDICT A CANDIDATE.
He Can Land Attorney Generalship If
ANYBODY from This Section Can.

Senator G. L. Benedict has decided
to seek the appointment as United
States district attorney to succeed the
late Robt. G. Evans. He is fully
equipped in every way to hold down
the office, which has salary of 81, 900
year attached, and fees, ETC., that
bring the amount up to S5, 500. Every
body in Mankato should be glad to
have Mr.. Benedict secure this appoint
ment, if possible. This should be so
as matter of local patriotism, regard
less of personal friendships.
Congressman McCleary, who has lust
returned from Europe. will do all in
his power to assist Mr.. Benedict to
land the appointment. The recommen-
dation rests largely with the two
United States senators from Mime
sofa, and both have friendly feelings
for the Blue Earth county senator. 1t
is true that Mr.. Benedict supported
Mr.. Evans for senator to succeed the
late Sentaor Davis, but he only acted
with the popular demand in this Sec
ton of the state. Senator Clapp I'M
derstands this and sympathizes with
Mr.. Benedict's position.
Mr.. Benedict can secure the appoint
ment if any man in this section of the
state can. The only danger to his can
didacy lies in the appointment going
to the twin cities again. The cities
will leave no stone unturned to get the
office, and the rest of the state should
unite on some one, to get its just share
of the desirable Offices Mr.. Benedict
can hold together greater part of the
state than anyone else. and he is the
man that should be united upon.
Let Everybody turn in and give Mr.. |
Benedict boost into the Office.

FALL WEATHER.
The Minneapolis Observer Would Like to
Have Power to Predict q Month Ahead.

Minneapolis Journal:
1T would be a nice thing if this
department could tell what kind of
weather is in store for month ahead,
or three MONTHS said Weather OBJ
server Outram, "for weather bureau
officials are no seers and they live
largely in the present. Many lake
residents want to know if they can
expect nice, long and pleasant au-
tumn or if the weather will be cold
and disagreeable. But we can not tell
them anything that would be of value.
The summer has been extremely hot,
the hottest known to the oldest in
habitant, but whether this condition
presages cool autumn or an unusually
cold winter there is no way of telling.
There will be compensation period
some time. but when-well we must
simply let other people do the guess
ing.
MANY weather experts are giving
much study to periodicity' and have
made very many interesting discov-
cries, but just what actual use can be
made of their observations is still I'M
determined. Some students have
adopted seVen-year period others a
6ve-year, and have laid down several
rules. They are very interesting, but
to most of the rules the exceptions are
So many that their value is extremely
doubtful -
All that can be said to the "'lakers''
and others interested in the weather
for the next two months is that the
hot spell in July does not necessarily
mean cold, wet and disagreeable
autumn, not by any means and Min
nesota is just as likely to have a fine
autumn, with an old-fashioned Indi an
summer of the kind that has made
Minnesota famous, as to have any
other Kind.

are as fine ears as are ever raised, one
