THE NEW GRANITE BLOCK
All the Occupants Now in the Building
Recently Completed on Second
and Washington.
Where the Tenants are LOCated-the Ma
terial in the Building, and its
COnvenienceS.

The Granite Block is the new
name given to the two story brick
block ard basement erected by
Messrs. W. H. Gold, H. NJ. Hitch
cock and ]. H. Bowers on the south
east corner of Second and Washing
ton. and which has been formerly
opened for the transaction of busl-
ness.
The structure is superb orna-
ment to Red wood Falls. The COM
position is Of St. Louis pressed
brick and North Redwood granite,
I The interior tinishings are Of rich
est Georgia white pine or mahOg
any. The lighting is the Detroit
system. The heating is by steam.
The building is plumbed through
out aud hot and cold water is al
ways ready for the occupants. The
| building cost in the neighborhood
of Sl5, 900
The tenant having the largest
amount of room is the old reliable
drug store of II. NJ. Hitchcock &
Co.. which concern found its busi-
ness growing so rapidly that it was
absolutely essential to have more
space, and this building was erect
ed with the view of accommodating
the growing trade. This concern
has a room L-shaped, fronting on
both Second and Washington streets,
the corner being occupied by the
bank. The room facing on Wash
iugton is used for general drug
room, for stationary, supplies, etc,
and the prescription case. The
room facing on Second street is
partly given up to pharmaceutical
purposes, and partly to the book
business, etc. Over the pharma
ceutical shelves and counter is the
optical room, which is being ar
ranged for perfect adjustment to
the light and darkness required by
Mr.. Hitchcock in his optical work.
In the basement the concern has au
other room for a laboratory and for
/ wall paper department. Of from
: this room is a vault where drugs
susceptible to light will be kept un
der a combination lock. Hitchcock
& Co., when their rooms are COM
pleted, will have one of the finest
drug stores in this section of Min
nesota.
On the corner is the room to be
occupied by the Gold d-Stabeck bank,
and words can hardly express the
beauty of the new apartments of
this concern All of the wood work
is mahogany. The floor is of mosa-
ic pavement. The glass in the fix
lures is ground. The cornice is OF

and the fixtures were the most ex-
pensive that could be purchased by
the bank. The paying and receiv-
ing tellers have separate windows,

but was unable to retain it and Mar
shall again went toward the Red
wood goal. The ball was advanced
rather near Red dwooG s goal. but
Redwood braced up: held her for
downs, and made several substaE-
tial gains, which no doubt saved
the day. Then Redwood lost the
ball on tumble and Marshall made
a drop kick for goal but it was too
low and the first happened with no
score having been made. After an
intermission of ten minutes play
was resumed by Marshall kicking
to Red wood. AS in the case of
Marshall in the first half the
ball was rapidly advanced down
the field towards Marshall's goal,
the greatest gains being made by
the ehd runs of Frank King. But
the ball was lost near Marshall s %,
yard line and Marshall advanced it
to the middle of the field when Red
wood got it again and advanced
down the field, but time was out
b fore a touchdown could be made.
The decisions were in several cases
disputed and there was considerable
wrangling concerning the ball.
Another bad feature was the fact
that the crowd kept getting on the
gridiron and thus often obstructed
the plays of the teams.
The record of Red dwood high
school team thus far has been ex-
cellent, her goal line not having
been crossed this year
In the evening the Marshall boys
were given reception by the Red
wood girls in the K. P. hall. Frappe
was served and a pleasant evening
was enjoyed by all before the Mar
shall boys left on the 10 o'clock
train for Marshall.

Milking Before Calving.

Almost every week we see evidence
from those who have found it neces-
sary to milk their cows and heifers
before they drop their calves. A writer
in the Baltimore American says all Of
his best COWS had to be MIXED before
calving and some Of them month be-
fore. Last winter he had q fine heifel
that looked as if she ought to be milk
ing two weeks before calving, but
about that time he read an article in
which the writer claimed that it was q
positive injury to milk COW before
calving and he decided he would not
do it with the result that she lost the
use Of one-quarter Of her udder. A
heifer needs milking before cafving
more than an old COW, for cow that
begins to make an udder that needs
milking a month before she drops her
calf might as we'll be called continu-
GUS mixer and not be dried off at all.
This is one of those old superstitions
that ought to have gone out with the
idea that 1t spoils a cow to give her
grain food while in milk, or to keep
her in a comfortably warm stable in
cold and stormy weather.-American

In both the Senate and the House who are
90 be regarded as leaders can be relied
upon, there Is no reasonable doubt that
sooner or later the Cuban Legislation will
be enacted The Administration will not
back down In its Recommendation that

people, although IL IL persistently rimored

War are lees earnest In urging such legisla-

dence declare that for practical, senti-
mental, moral and political reasons some
relief must he granted TO Cuba and they
declare that after reasonable time their
party In Congress will see the absolute
necessity for II and act accordingly.
AZ nearly all the hearings before the
Ways and Means Committee last week
those who appeared 10 give testimony
nouncing Havemeyer and the Sugar Trust
as the most powerful advocates Of the re-
duction In the Cuban tariff. A very in
fuential public Senator SAYS that he knows
OF his own personal knowledge that Have
meyer does not care whether the pro-
posed legislation IL enacted or not, and
that he has this from Havemeyers own
lips. What the Sugar Trust would like
20 have, this Senator says, is free raw sugar.
Then they would be able 10 refine IL and
undersell the world. But they care no
more for the proposed reduction In the
Cuban product than they do In the ad-
mission OF the Hawaiian product free.
but, TINS Senator says, whether the Sugar
Trust wants il or whether they don't, the
United States is bound by moral and legal
as well AZ sentimental reasons 20 grant
relief TO Cuba as recommended by tho
President and that II is absolutely necessary
that this should be done, IL for no other
reason than the important one of retaining
the good will of the Cuban people. 40 that
amicable arrangements can be made with
the now Cuban Government that IL coming
into power within the next few months.
The Administration regards this az the
most important reason OF all why tho re-
lief that Is being 20 pitifilly sought by the
Cuban people should be granted. And the
Republican leaders of the Senate say that IL
will be granted in due time. no matter how
gloomy the outlook may seem at present.

CAPT. HOWELL rs FOR GORMAN.
Southern Democrat Tells Why He Favors
Maryland Man for President.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 26.-Capt. Evan p.
Howell, well known in State and national
politics, father of Clark Howell. National
Democratic Committeeman from Georgia,
has accepted an invitation 10 participate in
the conference OF Democrats TO be held by
the Manhattan Club on Feb. %. Speaking
OF the conference, Capt Howell SAYS:
1T is the most hopeful symptom Of har-
mony have seen in the Democratic ranks
in years. The dissensions In the Democratic
party In the past have been the life blood
Of the Republican party. Starting in 1850
with decided split in the party. we made
it possible for the Republicans to elect
their first President. We never did get
together until 1879. and the party was
successful"
Asked as 10 Presidential possibilities,
Capt Howell said
'My individual opinion is that the Hon
Arthur p. German of Maryland is the
most available man in the Democratic
party to-day. He Is by far the ahlest
leader the Democrats have got have
been with him in four national committees
of the Democratic party. | served with him
twice on the Committee on Platforms.
1 have been with him in consultation In
every Democratic campaign since 1915,
and have never known the party beaten
when Mr.. Germans advice was taken
I have seen IL defeated several times when
his advice was ignored. He has been
loyal 90 the party ever since he has been
in politics. His record as senator Is as
good as any man who ever served there.
He IN honest; he is able; he is outspoken;
he is a fine leader and seldom makes a
mistake.
OF course don't saw that II il absolutely
necessary TO have him for SUCCESS n
we get together. stand together and pull
together, we may elect some other man,
but | would rather trust him than any

FlRE-PROOF RAILWAY CARS

What Prussian Government Officials
Seek to Accomplish.
The managers Of American railways
might, to their own great advantage
as we'll as to that of their patrons, take
a leaf out of the book of the govern
ment railway control of Prussia.
These officials have ordered that ex-
periments should be made looking to-
ward the substitution upon the 10000
miles of railroads which they operate
If non-combustfble cars for the more
or less infiammable boxes in which the
public are now transported from place
to place. The steel trucks are, of
course, already comparatively safe
from destruction by fire, but the con-
struction of the superstructure of these
coaches has always been of such a ma
ture as to be something Of a menace to
the travellers safety. The walls and
floors and general trim Of passenger
cars have ordinarily been constructed
of woods that are peculiarly infamma-
BILE, and the use of oils in their clean
sing and decoration has intensified the
danger. The Prussian experiments, in
recognition of these facts, are to be
made in the direction of making floors
and walls of materials chemically
treated so as to make them non-com-
bustible, and Of the construction of
seats stuffed with fire-proof cocoanut
fiber and having asbestos coverings.
1t Is an important step and in the
right direction; and in a country like
our own, where there is so much more
travel and comparatively greater
duty for conserving the security of the
public over more than 10000
miles Of road bed, it would seem as Ii
it would be wise precedent for the
railway authorities to follow. As a |
rule our railways are exceptionally
well managed, and the traveller in the
United States gets a vast amount of
comfort and convenience at q very
slight personal risk, but the further
step toward the making of flre-proof
coaches would serve to reduce that
risk to minimum which would |
almost to its total extinction

scrawled on the rest Of the surface.
The fashion spread rapidly and the pill
lar boxes became full Of these mis-
sives, which, from their shape, gave
the unfortunate postmen and post
Office officials an enormous amount Of
trouble At last the authorities were
forced to intervene, and it is now con-
trary to the regulations to use the lit
tie globes of celluloid for postal pur-
poses.
Writing paper, or, indeed, paper Of
any kind, is usually at a premium
among soldiers on active service. Many
very curious substitutes have arrived
from our army In South Africa. One
of the commonest has been mealie
leaves. "Mealies" is the South African
name for maize. Round the maize cob
grows a number of strong enveloping
sheaths which, when dry, turn to a
pale yellow color and can then be writ
ten upon.
After Colenso there was found
grasped in the stiffened hands Of a
dead soldier a piece Of leather with a
dying message scrawled upon it with
stump of pencil. 1t was layer of
the sole of the dead mans boot, which
had probably been loosened with much
marching, and which he had centrived
to rip off. 1t safely reached the poor
fellows family in England.
From the Philippines, too, some curl
GUS letters have been received by the
friends of American soldiers, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. One Of the most inge-
NOUS was a piece of native bamboo,
about foot long, on which an address
had been carved with penknife. The
letter was inside this hollow tube, and
held there by wooden pins at each
end. The writer explained that he had
found it impossible to get an envelope
or to find any gum to make one, SO he
had recourse to this expedient.

while the daughters rejoice in the

They are said to be among the most
attractive young women in that section
of the State. There is another Maine
family which also deserves mention in
this connection. They originally came
from Virginia, and settled in the north
western part Of Hancock County soon
after the war. Mr.. and Mrs. Erastus
Black are negroes Of the darkest possi-
BILE shade, and their five children are
named as follows: Abraham Lincoln
Black, Harriet Beecher Stowe Black,
Hannibal Ham1in Black, Julia Ward
Howe Black, and Ulysses Grant Black.
ALI Of the family are still living, but
the father and mother and Harriet are
the only ones who now reside in Maine.
Among others are A. Hogg, well
known groceryman in the western part
Of the State, and A. Bird Cough, a
prosperous Bar Harbor groceryman.
