did powers have been demon
strated afresh. 1t alone is strong
enough, big enough, important

forms.
The makeup of the book is
unusually attractive.

A Mean One.

The "meanest man" has again
shown up. He was sitting in
BARRIERS chair in neighboring town
the other day and the lather was
already on his face for shave when
a man to whom he owed morey,
entered the town serial parlor. The
creditor no sooner saw the occupant
of the chair tran he spoke to him re-
garding the amount which he owed.
:FWon't you wait for the money until
I am shaved asked the one in the
chair. "Certainly," said the other,
pleased greatly at the prospect of re-
ceiving his money at such slight in
convenience as this. The debtor
then made the barber witness to
he agreement, wiped the latter from
his face and left the place. He de-
clares that he will never shave again
to his dying day.-Ex.

New Restaurant.

Chas. j. Christopherson, who had
charge of the Merchants restaurant
last winter, and was recently en-
pIoyed by Andy Thompson, opened
a new restaurant this morning in the
rooms in the Mullen building recently
vacated by the Cent al Minnesota

is neat and clean and he is going to
give his patrons the best service
possible. Short orders and regular
dinners will receive special attention.
The restaurant will be open day and
night. Charley is a good, stea1y
fellow and a hustler as we'll, and we
believe he will get liberal share of

Scientists and Electricians camnot
agree upon the number of electric
volts that are necessary to cause a
cessation Of life in human body,
Some claim that an excessive shock is
more likel y to cause incarceration
rather than instantaneous death; but
if they would turn their attention to
proIonging and increasing the pleas
ures Of life the public would hail the
result with more satisfaction. For
instance, the electricity generated in
wave Of laughter is, after all, the
most pleasant shoe and to see a
large assembly move by current of
uncomfortable n firth while witness
ing the performance of Fjtz &
Webster's newest, "A Breezy Time"
places beyond dispute the fact that
large volts of laughter are better
than volts of electricity, any day,

At the Lutheran Hospital.

Jacob Christianson left Tuesday
for St. Paul, where he will be oper-
ated on at the Lutheran hospital.
About eight years ago Mr.~Christian-
son contracted bone disease, from
some unknown cause, in his right
foot, and has since been unable to
work. He has treated it from time to
time, but the physicians we're unable
to bring about a permanent cure.
Mr.. Christianson has suffered every
thing during this time, and last week
came to the conclusion that he would
be cured if he had to wear an arti-
fetal foot the rest of his life, and
wrote to the manager of the Lutheran
hospital, where he is now receiving
medical treatment. Mr.. Christiacson
has many friends here who nope for
his speedy and ultimate recovery.

New Mail Route.

The adjustment Of rural mail
route in this vicinity is now an
assured fact, and when in operation
it will mean the reality of a long felt
need. Special agent Munro was here
yesterday examining the proposed
routes and the examination IF appli-
cants as carriers will be held at the
post Office this evening. Some
twe]ve applications have already
been filed, and several more are ex:
pected. Just what territory the new
routes will cover, and when they will
begin to operate IS not detinitel y
known, although Mr.. Munro informs
US it will be but a short time.

SCHOOL BOARD rlEETS.
Board Organizes .Openlng Of School
Postponed One Week.

The regular yearly meeting of the
school board was held last Saturday
evening, and the following organlza-
ton of it's members was effected:
President, Mrs. L. G. S ooner; Treas
urer, w. L. Colyer; secretary, u. L.
Wheaton. The question with refer
ence to the day of opening the public
schools was discussed, and in accor-
dance with request of the state fair
management, September s, the second
Monday in September, was desig-
mated as the opening day instead of
the first Monday as heretofore. This
will give the pupils and their teachers
an opportunity to attend the state fair
and at the same time be present at
the opening of school. This is
iudicious move on the part of the
school board in view of fine fact that
the state fair management are max
ing special effort to build up the
literary features of the fair, and to
make it highly instructive along
educational lines. The state fair has
always been recognized as highly
instructive institution for both old
and young, and this year will eclipse
all previous efforts.
The officers of the school board
elected for the ensuing year are
those who served so efficiently in the
same capacity last year.

The Animal Show

Without a doubt, Gentry Bros
dog and pony show is the best show
of its kind in America to-day. Their
performances last Tuesday afternoon
and evening attracted large crowds
Of curious spectators who where there
to see what real dog and pony show
was like, as we'll as the large number
of people who had seen Gentry
Bros shows before and wanted to see
them again. Had the show been
here at any other time of the year,
when the farmers are not so busy
with their harvest there would have
b en- .carcely standing room in the
tents. As to the performance it was
alb We reproach. Every animal, from
the poodle dog to the elephant had
its place on the program and acted
its part we'll.
1t takes years of training to bring
out the intelligence that these
animals possess, and Gentry brothers
have been the most successful owing
to their long experience.

G. P. Rand for Register of Deeds.

To the Editor: We arise from this end
of the county to second the nomination
of Raleighs choice for Register of Deeds
for Wake county, Chance P. Rand.
Raleigh usually shows great magnani-
nifty in the selection of candidates for
county offices. She has by far the lar
gest voting strength of any township in
the county and could often Outvote us
and get the lions share, but our obser-
walton has been that she usually consults
the wishes of the country townships be-
fore putting out the candidates; and we
say here thatwe believe that if the town
ship will suggest two better men than
Russ and Williamson for their respective
offices, they will get a good vote from
Raleigh. Chance Rand's strength in
Raleigh shows this. We predict that the
ticket will be Page, Russ, Williamson
and Rand. Name a better ticket than
this and it will get the support of
