DR.. Dull ois's defeat seems to be
surprise to many of his friends
here, but when it is considered that
he had majority of nearly 5000 tc
overcome, and that this is distinct
lively arepublican year, the result
is not at all strange. The control
ling influence 1.-The real issue IN the
campaign, was president Roosevelt.
The republicans recognized that the
return of a democratic congress
would be direct blow at the pres
ident and his policies. Senator
Buchanan has larger acquaintance
throughout the easterly and north.
ern part of this district especially,
and is very popular personally. He
has been a liberal employer of la
Dor and has gained the confidence
and personal regard of his empty
ees, and they constituted a powre-
tnlly infiuentirl class in hia behalf.
Dr.DuBois ran well-ne one in his
district could have gotten more
votes than did he.

"The high-water mark OF color repro
duction," as Howard Pyle character
ICES the exquisite coloa reproductions
of his paintings in the December Cent
ury; history, current topics of vital
interest, the best verse and fiction of
the day.
The most striking successes of the
Century Magazine have been made in
the field of history, witness the famous
Century War Papers, Nicolay and
Hays Life Of Lincoln, ETC.; and it is to
return to the field of historical litera-
! ture this year. A striking series OF
| illustrated articles on the early cam
paigns of the Revolution, written by
Professor Justin Harvey Smith of
Dartmouth College, will be one of the
features, especially covering the pict-
uresque march of Arnold through the
Maine woods. Important articles on
the ''Trusts" will be printed from time
to time, not attacking or defending,
but simply telling the inside history of
the great trusts and how they are con-
Quoted.
Richard Whiteing, the author of that
popular book "No. John Street." is
| to write one of the serials for The
Century in 1908, ''The Yellow Nan, :"
the story of an American ''scheeIma'-
am" who marries an English duke.
Another serial, by the author Of "Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" the
most popular book of the year, will be-
gin to appear in the December Cent
ury. Papers by "Mr. Dooley," Civ
ing his unique "opinions" on litera-
ture; new light on the lives of Edgar
Allen Poe and Sir Walter Scott; richly
illustrated articles on the great ex-
changes of the world, and the best
short stories that can be procured from
the leading writers,-all these are
coming in The Century. Beautiful
pictures in colors will appear from
time to time,
The pictures are richly worth franz
ing and place in every home. The
reading means wide information, cult
ure. and rich intellectual pleasure
from month to month. The bound
volumes should have permanent place
in every library. Big returns, all
this, on the small investment of four
dollars.

cass:--.uGOV. IVAN SAINT.

THE splendid campaigning quail
ties of Governor Van SAINT has been
an important, if not the most in.
fuential, factor in rolling up the
great majority of over $4,000 which
he obtained on Tuesday. He
travelled all over the state, mingled
with the people of all classes, and
for all he had a kindly word, g
pleasant lark, a hearty hand-shake;
and it was not of the perfunctory.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sort. Ev
erydody felt it to be genuine. Thu
spontaneous expression of a mar
of the people who was in no degree
puffed up by reason of the high
honors bestowed upon him. o.
the people he is one with them.
The position taken upon thu
Mesger matter gained him votes
beyond any question.
The people have confidence il
his independence and courage, tw,
qualities in a public official which
commands respect. Bluff, uncon
ventional, grert hearted, honest ant
fearless he won vntes by his person
atty.
Two yrars ago, when the state
gave over $4,000 tor Mckinley b.
was elected by a paltry $500. Thi'
year the Mckinley majority of TIVE
years ago is his. He would b.
less or more than human if the re
suit does not awaken pride as wei
as satisfaction.

Uncle Sans Farm.

1t is surprise to most persons in
the east to learn from the report Of
Commissioner Herman of the general
land Office that more homestead lands
were given to settlers in 1901-1902 than
in any previous year.
Uncle Sam still "has land enough to
give us all a farm" He gave away
19, 1888, 1850 acres last year-enough to
make 12O,O average "quarter-see-
ton" farm and to support 1000, 900
people, including families and farm
laborers. In addition Sc, $50, 900 was
obtained from lano sales and fees.
And 100000, 900 acres and more re-
main uuclaimed-enough to last forty
five years, even at the present rapid
rate of entry and settlement. States
as old as Michigan and Missouri still
have Groom for more" Minnesot
has 5000 unclaimed farms, Montana
400, O00.-New York World.

Railroad Rumors.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific Railroad intend to build a line
from Minneapolis into North Dakota.
This has been known for some time but
no one knew what route would be tax.
en-. 1t has been learned that the line
would be built about half way between
the 500 and the southern line Of the
Great Northern all the way from Min
neapolis here. Hew soon the road
will be built is hard to say, but is ex-
pected that work will be commenced
next spring, or as soon as the right
of-way can be secured. There is also
rumor afloat to the effect that the
Northern Pacific intend to build O. line
from Fergus Falls through Tlntah and
Wheaton into South Dakota thereby
tapping the rich grain country of that
state.-Tintah Call.

The interest that the little folks take

oughly appreciated in the relating Of
an incident that happened at a class in
school in a small town in the West.
At the end of a morning discourse on
topics of the day, the teacher inform

any question that they wanted to.
concerning any important public event
and she would answer it to the best
of her knowledge. After several had
inquired the cost OF the Brooklyn
Bridge. and the details of the Seven
Wonders OF the World, one little
hand went up in the air to attract the
teachers attention. and when It came
her time, she said. Please Mamam,
if you know everything can you tell
US when the Dog Show is coming?"
This form of inquiry viii be ui.-
