Clause Anderson bought a team

truth about that, Clause. .. Mr.. and

The Growing Of Sugar beets.

Sixty farmers attended the meeting
at the courthouse last Monday AFTER
noon to listen to Senator Theden tell
of the advantages of raising sugar
beets for the Minnesota Sugar Co. at
St. Louis Park. Owing to the fact
that the Gazette reporter with his usu-
al accuracy had advertised the meet
ing for Saturday afternoon, some con-
fusion as to the right time for the
meeting had arisen and worked detri-
mentally to the attendance. The COM
pany offers to pay $3.50 ton for
sugar beets delivered at St. Louis
Park. The freight from Willmar will
amount to IS cents ton of which the
company will pay IS cents, making
the beets net. the farmers q. .00 ton
+. o. b. at Willmar. If kept and
shipped in December, so cents more
will be added to the price, as the COM
pany is saved the trouble of storing
same. The beets are not harmed by
freezing. Among those who contrac-
ted to grow beets this season were, viz. {:
Anton Swanson, 5 acres; Edw. Tallak-
son, 2 acres; Ludwig Ellingson, 3
acres. The Sugar Co. paid the fare
OF Messrs. O. O. Bergstrom and Osul
Knutson as committee to go to
Dassel and investigate among the
farmers in that locality and satisfy
themselves that testimonials given were
correct. Senator Theden will be at
Pennock next Monday to stay three
days and will then return to Willmar
and vicinity to continue his work.

not as punishment for the past, but for
protection for the future, and this is
in healthful and reformatory hospitals
for the cure of diseased morals, and
not in dark and hope-destroying dun

I am quite aware that the public

leniency to the criminal class will be
considered as weak and altogether i'm

that every reform must have begin

fence and salted." This does not, of
course, prove that Christ raised Laza-
rus from the dead, but it does show
what refining and humanizing, not
to say devine, influence comes over
those who are imbued with his teach
ings as is the Rev. Hardin, without
doubt 1t would appear to layman
that the orthodox hell in which the
Reverend gentleman believes, would
be sufficient to satisfy his fastidious
taste for gore. We believe that the
Roman amphitheaters never witnessed
the skinning of real live theological
professor. This might be reserved for
the sportsmens show next month. The
pigeons who are waiting to be filled
full of shot might enjoy it along with
the Rev. Hardin.
Prof. Pearson, of the Northwestern
University, has shocked that institu-
tion in particular, and the Methodists
in general, by some very common
place remarks with regard to Biblical
inaccuracies. 1t appears always to
shock theological school as an
earthquake when by chance anyone
within it's walls receives the light
that has been the common heritage
Of the laity for two hundred years It
will probably result in the professor
being kicked out of the university and
into the charge of a fashionable and
intelligent congregation, where he
will take his place with Beecher,
Surfing, Thomas and other ministers
who have learned that fossils are not
the remains of animals drowned by
Noah's flood. 1t is remarkable how
little man has to know to wholly
unfit him for theological instructions.
Some of our friends who viewed
with alarm in 1896, and refuse to be
comforted, are much agitated by the
disappearance of the young man,
Absalom. Ink is shed and the air is
rent because there is no future for the
young man. A close examination of
the statistics of the giants Of business
in the United States discloses the
startling fact that they were all born
young. Many Of them remained young
several years after they were born. A
little figuring will convince any man
not imbued with populism that it is
only few years when there will be
no one left upon the earth to compete
with the man who is now boy. In
fact, there is actually possibility
that boys who have not yet decided to
be born will control the destinies of
the world before the chronic kicker
has ceased to croak his doleful pre-
sages of how the old man has the
"cinch" on young Absalom The de.

danger to the young man Of today from
luxury and dissipation than from com.
petition or tyranny
Not long ago the veracious Sta te
Journal stated, it will be noticed, that
the localities in this country where
the names Of a large part of the citi-
zens end with "gosz, ski, and eek
can safely be depended upon to give
democratic majorities. " This is a fair
sample of not only insinuation, but of
absolute falsehood common to republi-
can papers. With the exception of the
Irish and a large percentage Of the
Germans, the entire foreign population
of the United States is radically re-
publican. This is especially true of
the ignorant and vicious portion, who
were first imported to protect the
American by our infant industries,
and then voted in blocks by the super
intendents of the factories. The
brutal republican majority Of Pennsyl-
vania is due wholly to the pauper
labor of Europe employed in their
mines and factories. The man who
penned the quotation above knew that
the single state Of Pennsylvania had
larger foreign born population than
every state in the union south of
Mason and DiXon's line. He knew
that the little trust-ridden pauper-
labor state Of Rhode Island has the
largest percentage Of foreign born
population of any state in the union.
A larger actual number of foreign
born than all Of the great states of
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Arkansas combined. In the dis
cussion of the foreign emigrant there
should be wide distinction drawn

west who know the nations by the bet

no conception of the members of the
