The senate committee has agreed
upon a plan for restricting the power
of the Cuban government in reference
to the rights of the United States.
1t can be stated on high authority
that the plan is satisfactory to the
president and that it's adoption by
congress will avoid the necessity for
an extra session.

COL. WILLIE JONES FOR SENATOR.

COL. WILLIE JONES FOR SENATOR.
There is no doubt that the race for
United States Senator next year, to
succeed Hon. John L. McLauslr,
whose term, practically ends then,
will be an exciting and interesting
one. All indications at this time
points in that direction, and unless
something unforeseen happens the
candidate who is successful in secur-
ing the nomination will have done so
only after hard and laborious work.
The material out of which COM
petent and successful Senator is
made is plentiful in this State and
the voter will no doubt be perplexed
as to which one to choose.
The names OF prominent and in
Auential men have been mentioned
in this connection, any one of whom,
in the opinion Of their friends, would
no doubt serve the State with dignity
and honor to themselves. We are
assured that an effort is being made
to induce Colonel Willie Jones to
make the race and should he yield
to the urgent solicitations OF his
many friends all over the State, he
will prove candidate hard to beat
and the man who does so will be the
next United States Senator.
Colonel Jones will come before the
people with a brilliant record Of.
business success, uuimpeachable in
tegrit; and character which the
breath of scandal has never tarnished
In other respects he is pre-eminently
qualified for the position which his
friends wish and hope to see him oc
cupy. He has been prominently
identified with National and State
politics for the last decade and has
given the subject of politics careful
and thoughtful attention and is
familiar with the requirements OF the
business, manufacturing, agricultural
aid financial interests Of the country
all these industries will find in him
a warm, able and strongadvocate OF
measures and policies looking to
their protection and up-building.
Another claim for the earnest sup
port of the people the friends OF
Colonel Jones point with pride to
his record in politics in this State
during the troublous days Of the
Reformation. At a time when the
penalty was almost social and bus:-
ness ostracism for man occupying
the position that Colonel Jones does
to identify himself with the cause OF
the people, he gave the claims Of the
contending elements his most care
ful consideration and having satisfied
himself of the business Of the claims
of the people he unhesitatingly threw
his presence and influence with them
and remained faithful to every trust
with which be was honored by them,
and we can say without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that there is
perhaps no other man in the Stale
who could have passed through such
a trying ordeal as he did without
even having the faintest whisper
raised against his integrity OF pur-
pase or his motives questioned.
We trust that Colonel Jones can
see his way clear to enter the race
and can assure himself that if he
does he will have the earnest support
of large element of the people.

and Ribbons.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., June 22.-(Spe-
cia1. 1.-The marriage of Miss Emma
Schaeffer and William Maehl, at the home
of the brides parents, a few miles from
Sioux Falls, was preceded by an unusual
and unique ceremony The parties are
among the most prominent German resi-
dents Of the county. Prior to the we'd
ding day brother of the bride rode
through the country to the farms of
friends of the family and invited them
to the wedding. Himself and the horse
he rode Were covered with flowers and
plumes, and the rider and his stsed nat
uraliy attracted considerable attention
on the part of those who were unaware
OF the fact that the curious proceeding
was in accordance with an ancient Ger
man custom when inviting friends to a
wedding From the provincial headgear
of the messenger were streaming ribbons
of varied hue, tapping in the wind far
out behind as the hoofs of his steed were
scattering mud far out to the rear The
ancient German custom requires tllas
some relative of the prospective bride
well mounted shall start out, and wher-
ever he stops to give an invitation the
party invited attaches a yard or more OF
ribbon to his cap or crown, and Is cx-
pected to invite the rider to take some
cordial When he has completed his cir
cult and returned to the place of his
departure his decorations may be regard
ed as somewhat fantastic and his spirits
somewhat mellow. IN

THE NEW BABY

Opens up a new world to the loving

that new world is world of happiness.
If it is a weak, fretful child the new
world is full of anxiety. 1t has been

use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton makes all the difference between
strength and weakness in children.
Healthy, happy mothers have healthy,
happy children. UFavorite Prescrip-
ton" gives the mother strength to give
her child. It makes the baby's advent
practically painless and promotes the

Congressman Tnwney Says the De-
partment VIII Expand Rural
Free Delivery and Stop
Illegal Practices

WINONA, Mimi, June 22-(SpeciaL)-
Congressman James A. Tawney arrived
home from Washington this morning,
where he has been on business in the
departments for his constituents. Re
gardfng the latest developments in the
rural free delivery system, Mr.. Tawney
said:
The postmaster general will, within the
next week or ten days appoint twenty
inspectors of rural free delivery routes
and with this additional force this de-
partment expects to be able to make
more rapid progress in the establishment
or the service than heretofore route
leading out from Lewiston, in Winona
county, viii be established after the first
OF July; also two from La Crescent that
VIII run up into Winona county, and an
other from st. Charles, making the third
rural delivery route out from st. Charles.
- Before going to Washington" Mr..
Tawney said, my attention was di-
}ected by the local merchants at several
points from which the rural free deliV-
cry routes now start to the fact that car
rlers are receiving orders from people on
their routes for goods to be sent from the
department stores in the large cities
Inc goods are sent to the carrier and
he delivers them. This practice is Gre
attng more or less dissatisfaction with
the service on the part of the local
merchants, because it interferes with
trade they think legitimately belongs to
them.
When the attention of the postmaster
general was called to the practice he saw
at once that il It was continued. diSsat-
isfaction would increase, and that it
would result in seriously prejudicing the
people against the service Heretofore
he has permitted letter carriers to re-
ceive orders for merchandise from the
local merchants, and has permitted car
riers to deliver articles of merchandise
but he was not aware that department
stores in large cities were availing them
selves of this opportunity to extend their
will MI
7 am inclined to think from what he
said" continued Mr.. Tawney, that in
order to protect the local merchant the
requiring carriers to attend only to the
matter Of collection and delivery of mail
to people along their routes, as he said
to me the government could not discrim-
mate in the matter of service of this kind
between merchants, no matter where they
We're located. In other words, the de-
partment must treat all alike, and require
carriers to cease acting as agents either
of local merchants or of large merchants
in the larger cities"
