Caledonia County's First Book.

Sharing place with large display of
late and popular books, in the window
OF F. E. Rowell's book store, on Main
street, is a small but interesting colIec-
ton of books published in Caledonia
county. The most valuable book in the
lot is copy of "The American Botanist
and Family Physician" by John Mon
roe, an herb doctor, well known in Gale
donia county in the early days. 1t gives
a long list Of herbs, plants, etc, and the
medicinal uses of each, and also "a treat
Use upon the principal disorders of the
climate, together with directions for
preparing, compromising, and applying
proper medicines for their cure" The
book was compiled by Silas Gaskill, pub
lished by Jonathan Morrison of Wheel
ock, and printed by Ebenezer Eaton of
Danville. This was undoubtedly the
first book published in the county and is
owned by W. W. Husband
In contrast with this book, which was
published over rs years ago, are the two
latest books printed in this county
The History OF Newbury" aud THE
Adventures OF Atwood" both published
by the CALIFORNIAN Go.

STEADY ADVANCEMENT MARKS IT
Something About the Interesting
Man Who Is to Lecture Here
- -~ Next Week. --..---

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, professor of Eng
who is to lecture in Minneapolis In the
New Century course, next Tuesday even
ing, has had what might be called a
rather uneventful career, though 1t has
been marked by steady advancement. He
was born at Germantown, Pa, Nov. TO-,
1852. He was graduated at the Brooklyn
Polytechnic institute at the age of 16,
and entered Princeton in the same year
and received the degree of A. B. with

the theological course at Princeton

liver the masters Grafton. After two
year of study in Berlin he became pastor
of the United Congregational church Of
Newport, R. l., where he worked for four
years, especially among the laboring
clauses. In 1882 he accepted call to the
historic old Brick Presbyterian church in
New York city. This church was found
ed in 1857, but its glory was in the past.
Under his guiding hand the church rapid
ly revived After some fifteen years Of
labor in this field he was called to Prince
ton university. During the years at the
Brick church he delivered many lectures
and sermons at half a dozen Of the east
ern universities. All the while he was
putting forth books in both the secular
and religious fields. Among the latter
have been "The Poetry Of Tennyson,"
Little Rivers, " 'The Story of the Other

ebration in Lyceum Theater.

Nearly 1000 persons assembled in the
Lyceum theater last night to pay tribute
to the memory of Robert Emmett, the
Irish patriot, leader and martyr. Yes
terday was the 124th anniversary of his
birth, and commemorative exercises We're
held by eight divisions Of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians Of Hennepin county.
The theater was deliberately decorated
with Irish and American flags and en-
blems.s On the stage were portraits of
Emmett, Lincoln and Paul Kruger.
The life and martyrdom Of Robert En-
met led the speakers to broad considera-
lions of the complex and often bitter
political events which have Swallowed Ire
land for which Emmet SO freely gave his
life. . .....E.. Bases
Resolutions denouncing the British war
In South Africa and holding out encour-
agement to the Beers and to the Irish in
their struggle for independence were
passed

Applying the method or valuation IN the
bill, the company would pay taxes on
the following valuations:
$15, 900 coo Of common stock at ST. SIS 500, 900
5000, 900 Of preferred at $150.. COX, 600
S10,ssS 600 of mortgage bonds at $11o IL s76, 300
Total market value Of securities. $32, 976, 800
At the rate in Hennepin county, 1872
mills, the tax on this valuation would be
1862 ,922.56, or 80 per cent of gross earn
ings. .s.s-.
} Figuring on dividends, he showed that
the street railway pays per cent, while
the Great Northern pays z, and the East
ern Railway of Minnesota IL per cent.
In New York paving charges are de-
Quoted from the taxes. This is not done
in Minnesota, where the Twin City Rapid
Transit company last year paid $lS5,000
for paving alone. r.
This company has the largest mileage in
proportion to population served and gross
earnings, of any street railway in the
world, yet pays higher taxes than any
other in the northwest. In Milwaukee
per cent gross earnings tax is paid, and
in Chicago the tax ranges from to 4
per cent. -
Following Mr.. Calderwood, Ralph Whe-
Ian made an argument for the Twin City
Rapid Transit company, the General Elec-
trio company the St. Ant hony Falls
Water Power company, the Minneapolis
Milling company and the Mississippi &
Rum River Boom company. He argued
against the validity and equality of such
a law as the one proposed.
Senator Snyder said there was no in
tent1on to make the public service COR
porations pay at a higher rate than any
| one else, and he believed they would not
object to paying their fair share.
Certainly" said Mr.. Whelan. 1--WE want
to pay our share"
Senator Snyder then outlined the COM
promise amendment, told of In T e
o urnal yesterday, and asked Mr..
Mr.. Whelan declined to commit himself to
this proposition.
Rome G.. Brown spoke for the same
companies, on the question of riparian
rights, holding that such right was not
franchise, and not taxable as SUCH
ID. +. Morgan spoke for the Northwest
ern Telephone company. He said the bill
would force his company to pay 1875 per
cent on it's net earnings, and 10 per cent
on gross earnings.
A. M. Robertson of the MINNEAPOLIS
General Electric company said that his
company had no exclusive franchise but
was subject to close competition. The
tax under the proposed law would be 21
per cent of the gross earnings and $4,000
more than the net earnings. It would
render their property valueless.
A. +. jackson, representing the Mime
apolis Gas company, said the bill would
force the company to pay taxes double its
net earnings, and would compel 1t to raise
rates to consumers.
p. p: Webster, speaking for the Twin
City Telephone company, said the bin
would cripple young companies, such as
his own, and would make them pay $54, 900
more than their net earnings They were
willing to, pay on the same basis as other
property
George 3. Squires said the bill would
wipe the st. Paul Gas company out Of
existence.

An Industrial Possibility.

The suggestion recently made by Pro-
fessor Mendenhall of Providence, r. l..
that the Internal heat of the earth be
utilized as a source Of, Industrial power
may prove to be practical. A plan has
been outlined for obtaining steam from
the earth's interior, but it is only posi-
Bile, or rather feasible, in certain loeaH-
ties. The moment we are able to obtain
such power the Industrial map will be
changed as different localities are found
to yield the required heat. The invent
iyeness OF man seems to have no limit.
