among the whites averaging ten to
1000.
Within Il radius of ten miles. her cit

sea level in the valleys, up to $500 feet
on Lookout Mountain and Walden'i
Ridge, and within that radius from
their homes, enjoy scenery of water
valleys, hills. mountains and canyons
not to be surpassed in beauty, though
they travel a thousand miles, and

Chattanooga one can attain an eleva-

pleasures of a warmer climate in the

prior to the war and is now one of the
most popular summer resorts IN the

Presbyterians Rededicate.

Last Sunday was an epoch in the
history of the Presbyterian church OF
this city. Some time ago the pastor
and members of the church feeling the
need of place more betitting for their
worship, began to lay plans whereby
they might bring about the desired
end and as a result the edifice has
been entirely remodeled during the
past few months. Last Sunday the
Presbyterians and their friends joined
in a rededication service of their
church. The services consisted Of
morning and evening sessions, both
of which were full of interest and en-
thusiasm occassioned by the import
ance Of the event. ...
In the morning, Rev. r. M. Adams,
Synodical Missionary of the Presby-
terry spoke, being. assisted during the
services by Rev. Higgins, the resident
pastor A large crowd was present
and listened to q most inspiring
address by the speaker. Mr.. Adams
Is evidently a man of more than
ordinary character and is certainly
an orator of extraordinary persuasive
powers. 1t was genuine pleasure to
hear him and the favorable comments
on his morning sermon brought out q
large crowd to the evening session.
In the evening Rev. Adams was
assisted by Rev. Bloomfield. pastor
of the local Baptist church, and Rev.
Foster, of the Methodist church of
this place. AS at the morning service,
Rev. Adams impressed his hearers
with an excellent discourse. E
Special singing was secured for
both services and had no small part
in making the celebration success.
Mrs. Jackson sang solo which was
we'll received by her listeners. A
quartette consisting of Mrs. Jackson,
Miss Halderman, Messrs. Jerrard and
Warfeld sang several selections OF
| merit. ..: .-..-.- .a.,
| During the services fund was
raised for the raising of the church
debt, and those present responded
with liberallity. The repairs on the
church had amounted to between
$1,000 and $500. 1t is notable fact
that now, but a few days after the
church has been completed, the church
is free from Indebtedness of any kind.
The record is one worthy of note
coming as it does from a church Sc
young in years.

Self Confidence.

Self confidence is admired by
everybody unless 1t borders too
strongly on conceit, and there is
a saying "the King is the man
who cam" There is no doubt
that the man who thinks he can
do things convinces others that
he can and in SO doing increases
his chances of really succeeding.
Self confidence comes with health
and strength, thus indirectly
from drinking golden grain belt
beer. Pure, delicious and nour-
ishing, it should be in every
home. Order of the nearest
dealer, or be supplied by John
Essler. Bemidii. ...... .... .&1 ~

The astonishing result OBJ
tained in all but one of the con-
gressional districts at the last
election in Minnesota is a con-
vinclng if not a conclusive argu-
ment that McKinleyism is at last
completely triumphant in this
S tate; and it was in no one dis
trict more thoroughly manifested
than in the Ninth district which
returns Halvor Steenerson by a
plurality of more than 5000.
There was of course, in the case
of Mr.. Steenerson, a strong
personality entering in the cam :
paign, but Mr.. Steenerson's per-
sonality would never have ac-
complished the feat in the Red
River Valley of calling back to
the republican party almost the
whole body of the peoples party.
Yet to Mr.. Steenerson, as much
as to any other man in Mime
sofa, may be attributed the
wholesale return of this hereto
f)re discontented element to the
fold which had for a great many
years been their idol and from
which they deported only under
stress of hard times and serious
discontentments, an ele m ent
which was in a measure blinded
to all but the one fact that affairs
were not coming their way as
they wished. Mr.. Steenerson
has been trusted in an unusual
degree by this discontented ele'
ment, and to him we must in
justice 4giVes large measure OF

that the corporations who were
parties to this proceeding have
set themselves above the law,
when all they want is to know
what the law Is in order to yield
instant and unquestioning abed-
ience to it?
eve don't suppose that the
Northern Securities company IS
at all necessary to theharmonlous
cooperation of the three great
railroad systems whichare owned
chiefly by thesame stockholders.
| It is convenient business agency
for holding their stock in a COM
mon depository. But the disso-
Tuition of the holding company
would not affect the common
ownership of the stock. Its
owners would simply choose
some other agent to hold and
vote their shares or their proxies.
But if in any way it did have
the effect of breaking up that
combination, it would be a public
calamity to the Northwest of the
most serious proportions. For
that combination, the merger, as
it is called, is by far the most
effective machine ever created,
or which could be created, for
pouring business through the
cities of the Northwest from st.
Paul and minneapolis to Puget
sound, and for reducing freight
rates on grain and coal and lum-
Der and merchandise to the
people of the Northwest. It
places the prosperity of these
cities upon a far broader and
securer foundation than ever be,
fore. It is worth untold millions
to their trade and their indus
tries. to their merchants and
manufacturers and workingmen.
It insures them for all. time the
one thing they most needed TO
build up their manufacturing IN
dustries, and that is aplentiful
supply of cheap bituminous coal.
"It is about time, then, to
cease prating all this political
twaddle about the merger and
devote some sober consideration
to it's business aspects and to the
stupendously important part
which it is destined to play in
the industrial and commercial
development or the NofbhWest.
1t is an undoubted fact that the
accomplishment of that merger
has doubled and trebled the in
trinsic value of every lot in st.
Paul and Minneapolis and of
every farm between them and
the Pacific coast. The business
men of the cities understand it's
immense Importance to their
business interests. And as it's
results are gradually worked out
it will become manifest to all
classes that the merger is the
best thing which ever happened
TO the people of the Twin Cities
and of the Northwest, and more
especially to the workingmen."
