We should not be surprised If quite
fresh stimulus were given to emigra-
ton to the United States when the
contents of a recent interesting tele-
gram are made more widely known.
This lacOnic message says that accord
ing to recent statistics the total popu-
lation of the United States is 10000
600, and OF these only per cent. pos
sess n piano. 1t is only those who
have suffered and are suffering from
the piano plague that stalks incesSant-
ly about our towns and suburbs who
can appreciate the Importance of such
a message. and the very thought of a
country where only one family in fifty
has daughters addicted to the daily
practice of scales, Chromatic and other
wise, is a temptation to the victims
of the ever-present piano to remove
themselves and their household goods
to the other side Of the Atlantic.
Truly, a cleverer move for attracting
a colony of peace loving, desirable i'm
migrants than this diplomatic telegram
could not have been made.

A Good Endorsement.

MINERAL POINT, Wis, Sept, /,
19Ol.-I had my threshing done this
year by Mr.. Thomas Collins, with his
gasoline engine, which / think has
three very important advantages over
the steam engine;
lst. 1t uses from 25 to 30 barrels of
water less in a day than the steam en-
CINE; water being very hard to get
when the wind doesn't blow and when
you are mile from a stream of
water.
I'd. 1t burns no coal, which Is a
saving Of four or five dollars a day.
Sd. II makes no sparks: hence there
is no danger of fire. You can put
this engine in your barn and thresh
with it, and be as safe as If you were
in there with your lantern.
Respectfully, John Knight.
p. S. / had Mr.. Collins thresh
for me two seasons with the steam en-
gine and my knowledge is from prac-
tical experience and the gasoline
engine is my favOrite.

of st. Paul, having located at St Cloud
some weeks ago, has secured the contract
for the architectural work on a new
court house to be erected at Foley Ben
ton county, across the river few miles
from the Granite City Mr. Haas sub
mitted plan for the new library build
ing to be constructed at st. Cloud, but
a Chicago contractors specifications
were accepted. Had he secured that
contract it would have meant $500 Job,
but the Foley contract will bring S12, 900,
so that for his brief residence in that
part of the state the St. Paul architect
may not after all, have any regrets.
The work which he has been employed
to do will be started as soon as pOss ble.
For some time there has been a bitter
fight on between Sauk Rapids and Foley
for the county seat Of Benton county.
The former has always been the center
of operations, and a few years ago,
when the little village of Foley sprang
into existence, it's enterprising citizens
began to lay their plans to wrest from
Sank Rapids this advantage Yesterday
their scheme finally eliminated in VIC

decided in favor of Foley by a vote OF

county commissioners convened and con-

that all the county's books and records

most interesting story of prospecting and

After a long period of prospecting. in
the hardshipts of which Mrs. Stedman

RURAL DISTRICTS ARE MORE AT.
FECTED BY THE DISEASE


According to the semi-monthly report
Of DR.. Bracken, secretary of the state
board of health, to Surgeon General wy
man, of the United States marine hos
pital service, there are 595 new cases of
smallpox in Minnesota, and five deaths
have been recorded since the report of
June 3.
The deaths reported are as follows:
Chippewa county, 2; Albert Lea, l. Min
neapolis, 1: ST Paul, l. The death in st.
Paul was that of the lady on the West
side who died this week.
Among the reports of new cases Grand
Rapids village, in Itasca county, makes
the worst record, 80.
Brainerd appears next on the list with
IS cases, and Leavenworth township,
Brown county, reports a.
Minneapolis reports 81 cases, while St
Paul seems to be comparatively free
from the malady, reporting but IA.
Among other places reporting a large
number of cases are: Rusheba township
Chisago county, SS; Montgomery, LIE
Sueur county. %; Perham, Otter Tai
county, "A; Hector, Renvllle county, A.
Stearns county has the worst record OF
any county in the state, reporting s.
cases, distributed as follows: St. Au.
gusta, Is; ST. Joseph, Is; St. Wendal, 10.
Newport township, Washington county
reported 10 new cases. This is one OF the
nigh ratios, when the population of the
place is taken into consideration
1t will be observed that the worst re.
ports come from the rural districts where
there has not been the proper precautions
taken to prevent contagion. In the cite:
there is comparatively little spread o.
the disease.
