THAT DEMOCRATIC WAY.
Mr.. Sinclair Tells About a few that Hap
pened in Redwood Falls.


pened in Redwood Falls.
Bro. Sinclair-Rev. John Sinclair
formerly of Redwood Falls, but
now of the First Presbyterian
church, St. Paul, preached a SER
mon to his congregation recently in
which he touched on.the democratic
spirit of this country of ours. His
principal experience in this connec-
tion was when be first touched at
Redwood Falls, after coming over
from Scotland.
The minister stated that upon his
arrival at Redwood Falls be was
directed over to the house of one of
the deacons of the church, where he
found the deacon milking the COW
and the daughter feeding the chick
ems. He undoubtedly referred to
O. B. Turrell, whom he said told
him to wait until he fed the horses
and then they would 90 out for a
drive The fact that Mr.. Turrell
was then banker struck the min
lister as showing him decidedly
democratic fellow.
Later they drove around to the
home Of another leading member
a bald-headed newspaper man who
was engaged in working in his gar
den, despite the fact that the news
paper man could easily write his
check for all kinds OF amounts
whether they would be honored or
not the minister did not say. The
fact that Bro. Aiken was bareing his
bald pate to the evening sun and
handling hoe was decidedly dem
ocratic, sure.
The next man that Mr.. Turrell
introduced him to was the sheriff of
Redwood county, who was taking
care Of his horses.
''Charlie, said Mr.. Turrell, ac-
cording to the minister, II want to
introduce you to our new minister,
Mr. Sinclair
The two shook hands, and then
Charlie gave him such welcome of
words which the minister did not
repeat from his pulpit, but which
convinced the minister that be was
not only in a democratic country.
but that some of the members of his
congregation had decidedly demo
cratic way OF welcoming their min
lister.
ION the whole, said Mr.. Sinclair.
in concluding his sermon. the dem
ocratic ideas gained that day have
remained with me up to the present
time and l hope will remain with
me forever. l learned to love them
and the American people for their
customs.
There was some talk of the Chica-
go & Northwestern railroad com
pany taking appeals in both the
Wabasso and Seaforth cases. where
in the railroad and warehouse COM
mission issued orders directing
sidetracks to be constructed to the
mill in the former town, and to the
elevator belonging to Schmid & An
derson of the latter town. but THE
GAZETTE has been informed bv a
person in authority that the ap-
peals will not be taken-on the other
hand the railroad company will put
in the sidetracks as soon as the
weather permits. The company is
hampered more or less on its new
lines by what is known as the line
elevator companies which use every
means possible to force the railroad
company into refusing independent
concerns the right of railroad con
venience, and both the Seaforth and

One of the smoothest pieces Of
legislation was run through the
house Thursday morning, when
Representative L. H. johnson Sc
cured the passage of a bill, under
suspension of the rules, and before
certain watching interests could
get on to it, giving the public exam
iner power to inspect books of rail
road companies having to pay gross
earnings. The bill aimed deep. It
went over to- the senate with the
constitutional amendments. and its
fate is unknown at this writing.

Caution!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for IS cents the only remedy
universally known and remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1868, for the
cure and treatment of consumption
and throat and lung troubles without
losing it's great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to BoSchee'S German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for
light colds perhaps, but for severe
coughs, bronchitis. croup-and espe-
cially for consumption, where there is
difficult expectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings,
there is nothing like German Syrup.
Sold by all druggists in the civilized
world. G. G. GREEN, Woodbury., n.

Clever Feat OF Illusion Performed by
an East Indian.
The wonderful feats of East Indian
iuggIers have formed the theme Of
many letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadog youches.
While he was an officer on board a
P. and 0. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They We're
a iuggler and his assistant. After they
had performed a number Of minor
feats and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and a piece Of saiIcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made a small tcntlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed sailor to tie
the knot which bound him a fast pris-
oner. This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance,
and then carried on an animated con-
yersatiOn with his assistant, whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overheard, where, to
the horror Of the passengers and crew,
it sank out of sight,
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas
asked that it be raised. This was
done, and the supposed drowned mar
was discovered squatting on the deck
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passenger
could realize a murder had not beer
committed.

Church and worIkmen.

1t would be an exaggeration to say
that all working people feel antago-
nistic toward the church. Their general
attitude is rather that of Indifference.
The thinking poor are well enough
aware that there is nothing unnatural
in the situation and that if the tables
were so turned that world advantage
shifted to their side it would probably
remain unchanged At times their feel
ing, especially toward the clergy, is GU
riously sympathetic. Say" remarked
a labor leader of vivid mind to the
writer-"say, I'm awfully sorry for
ministers. Most Of them are real good
men. They know we'll enough what
Christ meant, and they'd like first rate
to preach if they dared But, Lord,
how can they? They've got to draw
their salaries; they've got families to
support" All this quite without a
touch of irouy.-Vida d. Scudder in

Life Policy Paid.

Special agent r. NJ. Roddie of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co,
of Newark n, J. was in the city to-
day and delivered to Mrs. r. NJ
Craig the check of that company for
$2500 in full settlement of policy No.
3l4 ,3l4 held by by her late husband.
Mr.. Craig took out this policy in
1897. He paid but four payments on
it, making the last payment in 1900.
AT that time he had borrowed from
the company S220.54. He supposed
that this inebtedness had eaten up
his reserve fund, and that the policy
had been forfeited. Not so, however.
His policy was one of the com
pany' non-forfeitable contracts, and
the face of it was paid in full. Mr.
Roddie will be in the city several
days and will be glad to explain the
peculiarly attractive features of the
policy carried by Mr.. Craig or to an.
swer any inquiries concerning his
company. Headquarters at First
