A MILD WINTER DUE.
f1uskrats Are Building Their Houses
With Thin Walls.

Unless all signs fail and the wea-
ther isn't particular dry just at pres.
ent the coming winter will be a
hard one for coal barons.
During the recent cold snap the
muskrats, diagnosticators extraord.
mary to the American people, began
work upon their winter houses.
They are constructing their homes
with thin walls, an unfailing sign OF
mild weather for winter. .s>
Corn shucks this year are unusually
light. Moss growing on the north
side OF trees is much less luxuriant
than in former years, and the fur OF
wild animals is comparatively thin.
All these signs Indicate an open
winter. Not within the memory OF
the Oldest inhabitant have the indi-
cations been so pronounced.
1t is on record that in 1900 the
great, great grandfather of Bug-ah-
na-geshings noticed that the maize
cultivated by his wife had only a
very light husk. That year the moss
didn't grow, and the muskrats
scarcely took the trouble to build
any houses at all. The season of
winter arrived, but still the great
Northwest remained warm. Even
Medicine Hat sweltered in the heat.
Birds neglected to migrate. In fact,
the season was most remarkable in
every respect.
Its memory has been handed down
IN Indian traditions, and the Aborig-
ines say that not since that time has
there been such complete unanimity
OF signs presaging warm weather as
are to be seen this fall.
Minnesota winters seem to be
gradually growing warmer, and it
may be that the state will soon be in
cluded in the banana belt.-Red Lake

Primary Election.

The next general election in this
state, as well as all municipal elec.
tions, will be held under the new
primary law, which revolutionizes
the former system of elections. In
brief, caucuses,> conventions and
delegates are a thing of the past,
and in future congressman, senators.
representatives, county and city
officers will first be nominated and
later elected by the majority OF votes
OF the people. Anyone desiring to
become a candidate for nomination
to any office may do so by fling an
affidavit with the county auditor
and paying a fee of ten dollars, or if
the Office is to be voted for in more
than one county, by filing his atfi-
davit with the secretary OF state and
paying a fee of twenty dollars. No
person defeated at the primary elec-
tion can go on the official ballot at
the final election. The primary elec-
tion will be held on the seventh Tues
day before election, which is also the
first day of registration, and any
person entitled to register may vote.
Australian ballots are to be provid-
ed for each party participating in the
election, and each voter must declare
his party affiliations before receiving
a ballot. If challenged the voter
must make ahdavits relative to his
party. Such in brief are the essential
points of the new election law. but
the state is now printing book OF
one hundred and fifty pages, COM
prising the general and primary -lecr
tion laws, going into all the headach-
ing and brain Grazing details necess-
ary to make all points plain to the
people, The new law is an expert
ment, given to the state by the Re
publican party, in the hope that the
people, rather than the politicians,
may control the selection of can di-
dates, and thereby secure the ablest
men for official POSITIONS. &C. C.

gone to heaven and Mr.. Hall busily en-
gagged in commercial pursuits, she was ut
leisure to administer comforts to the aged
and eccentric tea merchant Indeed,
Mrs. Hall states that Mr.. Gilman having
no male relatives to assist him in his
affairs she was his councillor. advisor and
friend, and that as he had no woman rel
atives TO offer him sympathy and little
comforts. she found time to shed gentle
ness and tenderness around and about his
declining years. Becky Sharp, who has
always been held up to admiring women
as q pattern of feminine loneliness and
womanly wisdom, could have done no
more.
Mr. Gilman, removed from this vale OF
tears, leaves a property behind him. 1t

CATION. AS a matter of fact capable of

less parties. and much less bitterness of

England. That we have a liberal share
OF the faults common 10 all white races it
would be folly TO deny. We make no

MAY RAID FASHIONABLE FOLK.
The Rev. DR. Huntington. rector of
Grace Church, the pastor of the most
fashionable congregation in Manhattan,
has never been sensational. In recent
sermon he admonished his charge against
the sin of gambling and the evils of it.
Unconsciously he sprung sensation. and
other priests have waXed eloquent on
the subject. The public mind has been
impressed by the prevalence of the gamb-
ling evil in public houses in an effort to
break up the blackmaii protection of the
police; but it scarce looked for a revela-
ton of gambling in the homes of the
rich and distinguished.
l have long known that many of our
most excellent fellow-citizens have play
rooms in their great houses. These
rooms are furnished with roulette wheels
of the finest make. and all the accessories
ivory chips, blanks, checks and writing
materials. After dinner-party, when
guests are difficult TO entertain. roulette
fills gap. Indeed, if the truth Were told,
the profits of the wheels keep certain
families in funds. Commissioner Murphy
who stands for the police department with
an ever-ready whitewash brush. is plan
ming a coup de theatre calculated to shine
as an electric light. His desire is 10 make
the raid OF Messrs. Philbin. Jerome. Nix
on & Co. look like a farthing dip along
side of his. He contemplates raidins
some one of the most fashionable private
residences when he has positive evidence
the company are assembled in the play
room. What sensation, Imagine the
cells OF the Tenderloin station packed with
New York bellies and fashionable matrons
after being searched by the .'matron'
and New York millionaries unoaded from
the patrol-wagon WITH less ceremony than
a group of politicians with gambling pro-
pensities. Hollohan looking for a miss
ing relative would sink into obsecurity
and Tammany Hall leaders would sing
hallelujahs to Murphy.

ability to discuss all topics save the one
we all want to know the most about,
namely, her hold on the Gilman property.

years of association had made Mr.. and
Mrs Gilman indispensable TO each other
and that years of association had made
