Ramsey,s Mellow Are.

Coy. Alexander Ramsey, first governor
of the territory Of Minnesota and war
governor Of the state, when he offered
the first troops after President Lincoln
called for volunteers to put down the
rebellion, and who is now the only sur
viying war governor, celebrated his
eighth-seventh birthday Monday. He
spent the day much as he spends all his
days, looking afterhis business, but many
Of his old friends remembered the occa-
sion and called at his home 265 South
Exchange street to pay their respects.
In the evening the governor presided at
the meeting of the executive conaeil of
the state historical society and there re-
ceived more congratulations from the
venerable men composing the council. 1
I 'sThis IS the first mile stone I've turned
this year, :" said the governor after the
adjournment of the meeting last even
ing. ''But two years ago I turned two

chuckled as he recalled the joke sWell,

The Wrong MI. Wright.

That side-splitting farce The Wrong
Mr.. Wright" which proc uces thunderous
roars of laughter wherever it has been
presented will be the real comedy that
will be seen here in the near future. In
az and through it Henry Beresford has
won and will continue to win the APP
probation of every lover of the pure and
wholesome in mimic art through his gift
of producing laughter without resorting
to buffoonery or vulgarity. This playis
one of the legitimate comedies that has
led to many limitations but none, SO far,
have been able to excel if for purity of
motive, terseRess OF plot and satisfying
results as to pleasing its beholders.
Beresford in it essays the part Of an old
womanhating bachelor, who, to capture
a p1rloiner of some of his pelf starts in
pursuit under an assumed name sAdolph-
us Wright. This pseudonym is also
taken by the cnlprit who is being chased
by a Sherlock Holmes in petticoats, but
she mistakes the ewner OF the property
for the thief and causes his arrest. Many
mplications both ludicrous and rjdicnl-
Gus lead up to the situation which final
II results in the female sleuth capturing
the old bachelor for life. There are many
pretty songs, much catchy music and
other interesting incidents in this work
which must be seen to be appreciated.

What has been gained by the primary
election in the country2 Nothing. Those
who are nominated are the ones who
would have received the nomination in
the convention. The time that has IN
tervened siuce the expiration of the time
for filing has been spent by candidates in
their own interests resulting in arousing
feeling of,antipathy towards those seek
ing the same Office expanding time and
money that would otherwise have been
saved and dong the party injury that is
unnecessary. 1t extends the time Of
electioneering and keeps an unpleasant
agitation going that could well be cut
out. 1t gives the cities the power of the
nomination more directly than under the
old rule, in fact there is little of virtue
to recommend its continuance under the
existing conditions.

The Woes Of an Editor

Newsp apers with partisan tendencies:
are going TO run the gamnt Of q double
censorship IL the operation Of the pri-.
mary election law. In the first place they
cannot favor two candidates in the same
party fer the nomination for one ..f1fiices
and must run counter to the wishes of
one or more, and if all those who fail OF
an election are Of the kind to vent their
spleen on some person because Of their
defeat, the first they will go to will be.
the unfortunate editor and the first thing
they will say will be How much do /
owe YOU and having satisfied them
selves on that score say s.stop sendinge
the Faper" and then they will leave the"
office with q satisfied air as though they
had done something. There are q whole
lot Of new politicians up in Redwood
county who will not know how this is
done and for their benefit we publish,
this form which works we'll until they
want some other favor. Then, having
survived the results Of the primaries and
.slfted out the worst Of the dissapp pointed
ones, the editor waits in the shadow of q,
great fear and with many sleepless nights
until the balance ofthe disappointed ones
come in after the general election and
fill him with gloom and dismal forbod-
ings, and then for q while there is q cold
ness and they don't speak for two weeks
aud perhaps more, just like children At
play, as though there was nothing in life
but a $1,000 office. Such is the small
politician, and then, thank God there are.
others who, when they are defeated say
aThat's all right boys, yon couldn't sup
port me this time perhaps you can the
next. Those are the fellows we like to
meet, and they are the men who eventu-.
ally succeed, and they are not the ones
who feel they have bought the good will
of q paper for the price Of . years sub
sscription. This little lecture is the re-
suit of d conversation with one of the
editors of Redwood county paper and
because we know that the poor fellow is
afraid to express himself in his own paper
we do it for him not having any such
cares Of our own.

Friday evening the city lighting plant
was tested for the first time as far as the
incand descent lights were concerned, and
was found to be all right. While the
plant may not have been in condition to
prove its value, the test on Friday even
ing did not prove the lights to be Of any
stronger lighting power than the old
lights are in fact there was such a SINH
larity that one could not detect the diff
ferance, however it is unfair to criticize
the plant on its frststrial. The city has
a splendid plant. One that will pro-
badly last as long as the city will be
using that kind Of lighting. It has been
put in at the least possible cost in q very
expensive year. The Review has dis
agreed with the council on the method
Of obtaining the plant and its treatment
Of the old company and still holds that
the deal was unfair, but as farsas the new
plaut is concerned there is no quesIlon
but that the council has handled it we'll,
though the cost is gong to be in excess
of the amount first appropriated. The
initial test Of the plant was begun last
night and will be kept up for one month
to insure the council that the plant il
complete IN every respect when it will
be turned over to the city. The manage
ment Of the new plant falls to Adolph
Wagner who has SO far shown decided
ability to- handle the business, and being
New Ulm boy, it is gratifying, that the
council should chose him to handle this
part Of the city's work.

Riffs on Mars Ice Cap.

Despite the remarkable contribution
to knowledge given recently by Prof.
Holden in the question of physical
conditions on Mars, no less a scientist
than Prof. Percival Lowell contributes
to the last number of Popular Astron-
omy labored, detailed paper on riffs
in the polar 'ice-caps" of that mem
Der of the solar system. AS there is
every reason to believe that the tenn
perature on Mars is very low-proba-
bly, somewhere between 100 and 200
degrees below zero Fahrenheit, the
term ices meaning frozen water, is
ridiculous as applied to this planet.
Mars receives but half the quantity of
heat that comes to the earth and has
no atmosphere to retain it as we have.
The result of this is that tempera-
lures are appallingly low. 1t is be-
lieved that frozen carbonic acid gas
is what causes the so-called 'ice-caps"
on Mars.

By means of a model geyser an in
ventor aims to show in simple man
ner the exact way in which real gey-
ser works.
The instrument is quite simple. A
small aspirator, with bent glass tube
exit, acts as an intermittent siphon,
and the water is discharged into a
halfinch iron pipe, the long horizontal
limb of which measures about 10 cen
timeters The glass siphon tube slips
through a rubber ring at the top of
the pipe, though a cord would doubt
less serve the same purpose, and the
lower closed end of the tube is heated
by the equivalent of about four burn
ers and should be placed as shown, as,
If placed under the exit, steam would
be generated too fast and the water
might be blown back into the asplr-
ator.

Have a thimble which easily fits
your forefnger. Show the thimble on
the foreflnger of your right hand and
lay the finger with thimble on the
palm of your left, which you then
close. Now withdraw the finger minus
the thimble. The company will natur-
ally imagine that it is in the left hand,
but on opening it they are astonished
to see it empty. The secret is that
you do not place the thimble in the
left hand at all, but in the act OF lay
ing the foreinger of the right hand
on the left your quickly bend the fin
ger and leave the thimble secreted be-
tween the ball of your thumb and the
root of the forefinger-only placing
the bare finger in the left. This you
instantly close, and then withdraw the
forefnger. You can eventually pro-
duce the thimble from your pocket or
show 1t again on the tip of the fore
finger by reverse movement.

Edwin Hawley came to New York
thirty-four years ago, a green country
boy Of II, He obtained place as an
errand boy with the Erie Railroad
Company at 81 week, which decided
his business for life. Through many
intermediate positions he came to be
general traffic manager of the South
ern Pacific railroad, and the closest Of
fetal to the late Coils p. Huntington.
In that position he controlled most Of
the trade between New York and
southern points. With his success in
railroad lines came financial interests
so great that now he has resigned his
official position to devote himself to
his own business. Mr.. Hawley said:
zone does not have to be great wit,
or great diplomat, or a great intel
lectual genius to be successful. 1t
just requires a worker, fearless and

surprlsInr Ro,rd rrIck.

Take a piece of thin board of soft
wood, say pine, foot and half in
length and two inches wide. Place it
upon an ordinary kitchen table, allow
ing the end to protrude half it's length
almost beyond the edge of the table.
Now place newspaper upon the table
covering the board to the edge, and
smooth it out carefully, being sure
that the paper is in perfect contact
with the board as well as with the
table. Then announce to the com
pany assembled that, with no other
fastening upon the board than the
sheet of newspaper, you propose to
strike the end of the board hard
enough to break it, or at least to tilt
the table. 1t will appear impossible.
Every one will imagine that the news
paper will be torn in two as soon as
the end of the board is struck, but
this will not occur. Strike it smart
sharp blow with the hand or an in
strument, and the board will either
break off or tilt the table and remain
fast to it, just as If it had been nailed
fast. The explanation is simple
When a blow is struck there is ten
dency to tilt the end of the board upon
the table, but the air having been
pressed out from under the paper, a
semi-vacuum has been created, and
the compression of air upon the outer
side of the paper holds the board fast.

An Indiana scarecrow.

In designing the light-throwing ap-
paratus shown in the accompanying
cut, Alexander G. Davis of Lafayette,
Ind, seeks to provide an inexpensive
animated scarecrow, adapted to be op-
Grated by the wind, to flash beams of
sunlight or lamplight over field and
frighten away any bird or animal bent
on depreciation. The device can be
mounted on post at a convenient
place and serves to brighten hawks,
crows and other birds in the daytime
and owls and other rodents at night.
1t consists of a fixed frame of any
desired shape, open on two sides for
the free passage of the wind, with a
lamp in each end of the frame for
night use and a central revolving
wheel which carries a number of mir
rors to reflect the light across the

f1anges on the blades are shaped to
catch the wind on one side only, and
even slight air current will set the

Fitz,lm mons Mistake.

Fitzsimmons had a much greater
following early in the year than he
has at the present time, as his actions
in avoiding a match with Jeffries
have caused many to weaken on him.
Fitz has stated that he has a sure
thing in whipping jeff when they
meet, and says that despite his age
he is past 40-he will give the cham
pion the hardest fight of his life. 1t
is all well enough for old Fitz to feel
encouraged, but as things now stand
it is a very difficult matter to figure
Bob a winner over big Jim. The
champion has natural advantage in
his favor and is almost fifteen years
younger than the Cornishman. The
majority of sporting men in America
look upon Jeffries as the pugilistic
marvel of the age. In face of these
facts one can hardly imagine Fitz-
simmons, who has already fallen be-
fore the indicated giant, coming
back years after and whipping the
man who has laid low every heavy
weight Of prominence, and that, too,
without as much as getting a mark
