The New York Chamber of Com
merce, by a unanimous vote, has
adopted a resolution, indorsing the
bill to maintain silver dollars at par
ity with gold and urging Congress to
pass it. The sense of the chamber
was expressed by speaker who de-
clared that 1.-THE way to maintain a
gold standard and gold payments at
all times is to declare openly and
frankly that every dollar of circula-
tion issued by the government shall at
the will of the holder be redeemable
at all times with a gold dollar"

The United States supreme court
decision on the Illinois anti trust law.
in effect declares unconstitutional the
antitrust laws of Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Missis-
Sippi, Montana, Nebraska, North
Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas and Wisconsin. In each of
these states there is an exemption in
favor of live stock and agricultural
products in the hands of the raiser or
producer, or of labor organizations.
Under the rulings of the court an
antitrust law, to be constitutional,
must apply Unfortunately to all
combinations, with no exemptions or
exceptions whatever.

THE DEMOCRAT IS SOLD
Mstsker Buys the Plant for 100000
CONSERVATION Among Old
Line Democrats.

The Plymouth Democrat will cease
to exist, except in name, after this
week. Hon. Clay W. Metsker who
voted with the railroad corporations
to kill Senator Agnew's Calumet ship
canal bill, has purchased the plant for
$4,000. No wonder the labor organ
tions have it in for the lobbyists who
succeeded in convincing legislators
that it was their duty to vote in the
interest of the railroads.
But this is, perhaps, of less import
ance here than the fact that there will
no longer be democrat paper in Mar
shall county. Think of it. Old rock
ribbed democratic MARSHALL county
without a democratic organ. Mr..
Metsker has declared time and again
that his paper is not democratic
organ. and we understand that he
still intends to publish the "Daily
Independent. y
And Daniel Mcdonald has sold the
Plymouth Democrat to Metsker, the
man whom the Democrat denOunceS
as unfit to represent the democrats of
Marshall county.
1t would seem that the old presses
which have 50 often been used to de-
nounce Metsker, would refuse to work
and the type would blush when
Metsker attempts to print he Demo-
crat.
But the old line democrats will not
stand it. There is already move
ment on foot to launch genuine
democratic paper and there will be
fun in Marshall county before the
snow flies next fall.

In Chicago Republican primaries
have nominated all but one of the
aldermen approved by the Municipal
Voters League, some very bad men
being rejected at the open primary
elections. On the other hand. most
of the Democratic candidates have
been found to be unfit in their records
for reelection. 1t is usually about
that way.

FUNSTON HITS HARD.

81 am one Of those men who is for
his country, right or wrong; but this
time. thank God, my country is in
the right. 1t makes no difference
how much it costs, how many lives it
means. We must 60 on till every ROD
of land in the Philippines acknowl-
edges the sovereignty of the Stars and
Stripes. Then and not till then we
will fight out among ourselves the
proper disposition of the islands.
Gentlemen, some time ago two
poor fellows, colored soldiers of the
Ninth cavalry, deserted and went
over to the enemy. They were caught
and hanged. 1t would be eminently
more just-take this as you like, for
mean every word say-if some of
those alleged Americans who have
lately signed a petition to congress
asking for a conference with the
Filipino leaders still in the field, were
hanged and their memory forever ex-
ecrated by the American people,
In these words General Frederick
Funston, facing 400 members of the
Marquette Club at a banquet in his
honor in Chicago Tuesday night, de-
clared his position on the attitude of
the government toward the Philip
pines and denounced the men who
have been at the head of the agitation
for the abandonment of the islands.

LUNGS THAT ARE LAZY.

Their Owners Digest Poorly and
Catch Cold Easily.
Fresh air is a free gift, but it is like
most of the gifts of heaven in that we
must do our share of work to benefit
by it. No one would expect to have
good fire just because pair of bellows
hung on a nail by the chimney, but this
is exactly what many people expect OF
their lungs, which are really only the
bellows given us by which to keep the
fire of life burning bright and clear
within US.
It is not too much to assert that lungs
properly used in a comparatively close
room will do more good than lazy lungs
In an open field. This trick of lazy
lungs is q habit, like any other, and
may be overcome by persistent effort.
Many persons, for example, are aff1ict,
ed with nervous habit of holding the
breath unconsciously. These are the
people who, in spite Of plenty of time
spent out of doors, yet catch cold east
ly, digest poorly and are always more
or less under the weather" physically
Many other persons-and they consti
tute the great majority Of mankind
breathe only with the upper part of the
lungs and although they may breathe
regularly do not draw in sufficient all
at breath to fill all the lung cells.
When once the pernicious habit Of
poor, shallow breathing has been bro
ken up, the health undergoes such mark
| ed improvement, there is such brighten
| ing Of the spirits and Improvement o.
the looks, that the luxury of deeI
breathing is not likely to be readil!
foregone.
A good way to start the new habit Ii
| to take deliberately a few minutes
stated intervals and devote them t.
proper breathing. If this is done sys
tematically, the reformer will find him
self unconsciously breathing more an
more, until very soon he is obeying ma
ture and really breathing to live.
Besides the gain to the general healtl
which comes from the habit Of dee
breathing there is created a reserv
strength and preparedness which
often of great service in warding OF
acute pulmonary diseases.-Youth'
Companion.

CORN ACREAGE.
1t Will Be Increased in Western
Minnesota and South Dakota.

General Agent A. @. Johnson of the
North Western road has just returned
from trip over the lines in southern
Minnesota and South Dakota for the
purpose of investigating the crop out
look. He says that in the northern half
of South Dakota there will be double
the corn acreage there was year ago,
his in face of the fact that the South
Dakota corn acreage a year ago was
double what it was the previous year.
There will also be an increase in
western Minnesota and South Dakota
in the acreage of barley, wheat and
fax.
General conditions, Mr.. johnson
says, were never so favorable. There
is large immigration of Iowa and
Illinois farmers and general tone of
prosperity prevails. Sales of lands
are being made daily at advanced
prices. The cold wave will delay
seeding for only few days. Har-
rowing had been commenced on
high ground, but very little seed had
been planted before the blizzard.

Fl FOR MANKAT0.
Young Girl Gives Up Home and Hap
piness for a Sister She Loves.

The Minneapolis Times gives an &C
count of the disappearance from her
home in that city under strange cir
cumstances on Tuesday last of Miss
Clara AImida Olsen. She left home
rather than stand between her sister
and the man they both loved. Letters
which she left behind her indicate
this.
The father and mother did not
worry very much over Clara's going
away until several days had passed.
They did not appear to be fully i'm
pressed with the tone of the three let
tiers. They had concluded that she had
gone to relative named Harboe at
Mankato, Mimi. Miss Olsen had been
district school teacher and they
thought it highly probable that she
intended to secure position near
Mankato.
Several days passed and no word
was received The mother then grew
anxious She then interviewed all the
conductors on the Second street line
and from one learned that Clara had
left the Car at the union depot. The
station records show that ticket had
been bought that evening for Mankato.
This treasured the mother and so she
decided to patiently wait for a mes
sage from the absent daughter.
The young man in the case is sol
der in the Philippines, whom the
sisters have met but once.
After leaving for the far east he had
regularly correspondent with Clara,
and she answered his letters. 1t was
only in the recent letters that he men
toned his love for her, and in one re-
ceived two weeks ago he proposed
marriage.
The younger sister had been taken
into Clara's confidence. She read ali
the letters. Clara confided in her, per-
mitted her to read the letters she sent
the young soldier, and also his mes
sages.
Bertha had been impressed with the
young man, who appeared to be 6
manly fellow, to judge from photo
graphs he sent Clara, A few days agt
Bertha told the older sister that sht
also thought great deal of him, AND
there is now a suspicion that thi
caused her to leave home.

THE SUM GROWING.
Street Car Stock Subscribe d
For Totals $4,000.
One Thousand Dollars Added This
Forenoon, and Committees All
Out This Afternoon.

The stock subscription list for the
street car and lighting company con-
tinues to lengthen slowly. Little was
done thisTuesdayforenoon, but the com
mittees were all in the afternoon
and some good results are expected.
The Elks lodge will invest $500 of
its funds in the street railway stock,
and some of the members were
anxious to make it $500. The reason
this will be done is because the lodge
is pleased at the way Mankato resi-
dents patronized the carnival last
summer, in spite OF the hot weather.
The other new subscriptions up to
noon today were the following: :. DR..
W. W. Eberhart 500, DR.. ]. W. An
drews 5000, Fred 81. Snyder 5000,
Robt. Lamm 5000. This is total of
81, 900 for new subscriptions, making
q grand total of $22, 900.
Agents of the machine firms have
promised to write to their houses to
see whether they are willing to help
the enterprise along.
The committee that is soliciting
takers for the incandescent lights is
meeting with splendid success.
AS soon as the necessary stock has
been subscribed, it is presumed that
the subscribers will be called together
to form an organization. This COM
pany will then apply to the council for
a franchise and will secure the con-
tracts for city and commercial light
ing. 1t will then be in a position to
do business with Mr.. Collins or the
men back of him. 1t will be seen from
this that the sooner the stock is all
placed the sooner the matter will be
under way.

DUE TO CARELESSNESS.
Sunday Nights Fire Caused by Live
Goals i'm the AIIey.

The origin of the fire in J. E..
Hickey's warehouse Sunday night
was not incendiary, as some supposed,
but was due to almost criminal care
lessness. The Free Press is Informed
that some one along the alley dumped
two pailsful of ashes out in the ally
during the afternoon, containing
many live Goals. At five O'Clock in
the afternoon, Oscar, son of Aid.
Heinze, passed through the alley and
noticed the pile less than two feet
from the door of the warehouse. He
tried to put out the Goals by kicking
some sand over them, but it appears
that this did not accomplish the pur-
pose intended.
Mrs. Allen, who resides over W. K.
BuAfham's store, returned from church
at 6 p. m. and hurried through the
alley to shorten her way home and
avoid the wind. She saw the pile OF
ashes and the live Goals and intended
to inform Oscar Scheurer. but he had
retired for the night. Thinking that
some one else would see the Goals and
put them out, she did not do anything
more about the matter. A few mo-
ments later the fire broke out. There
was the space of couple of inches
under the warehouse door, where the
baled hay was exposed, and the wind
undoubtedly blew some of the live
Goals under the door.
A person who would throw out live
Goals in an alley or anywhere else on
such day as Sunday deserves no con-
sideration at the hands of the law.
There has been a good deal of careless
ness in the manner of throwing out
ashes in the alleys, and it is time that
a halt was called.
Aid. Heinze is looking into the mat
ter, and it will probably be brought
up Friday night. If there is an ordi-
nance to cover this it ought to be en-
forced, and if there is not there ought
to be one enacted.
