mother with two.year-old son and the

mother that Mrs. Baldwin was dead.
So the curtain Of silence and ignorance
was drawn between the two. Until
Mrs. Worthen was quite large girl she
never knew that her foster mother was
not her real mother. She remembered
of having played with someone when
quite young, it was her brother and his
name was Harry. While trying tc

her mother is living and from her she
has received a letter. The brother now

1t Does Not Mean, However, That Mr.
Dwinnell Is Permanently
Out of Politics.

w. S. DwinneIl will not be a candidate
for the legislature. He announced this
morning that owing to business engage
ments 1t would be necessary for him to
withdraw his name, which has been on
record as candidate for the house in the
fortieth legislative district. Mr.. DWln-
nell said to T he ournal to-day: %&

the city. much of the time between now and
the primaries. That in itself would be fatal
to my candidacy, but even If elected would
probably be compelled to be absent during
much Of the legislative session. am deeply
grateful to my friends for the support they
have given me, and regret very much being
compelled to make this decision. / am greatly
interested In the problems that will come be-
fore the next legislature to solve, and should
be very glad of an opportunity to help solve
them, but L feel that it Us impossible.
want TO take this opportunity to impress
on the public the great Importance OF select
ing good men for the legislature The impor-
tance Of the position cannot be over-estimated,
and too much care cannot be exercised by the
voters in becoming acquainted with the can
didates and selecting those who are best ut
ted to represent them. There never was a
time when this was so important proposition
as it Is to-day. .Z,..F s.=.
Mr.. Dwinnell's decision Is generally re-
gretted.. He was one of the foremost
members of the house in 1899. and IS an
especially close student of taxation. He
would have taken front rank in the
legislature this winter. He mas not
dropped out of politics permanently, but
will be heard from later on when able
to give his time more largely to the pub

BUTTONS OF BUTTERMtLK
ONE WAY To. PREVENT WASTE
One Minneapolis Plant Is Now
Throwing 10000 Gallons
Into the Sewer Daily.

Whether to evaporate the 10000 gallons
of surplus buttermilk, which is daily
thrown into the sewers, and turn tne
produce into buttons and paint, is a
question which the Minneapolis Cold
Storage company has under consideration
just now. A more simple, profitable ana
feasible plan would be to sell the. milk
outright to the small dairymen and res
taurateurs, but the dash Of sour milk
which most of the dealers are IN the
habit of adding as "a flavor, has made the
public shy of the tbucolic drink. There IS
only one company in; the United states
which turns ,buttermilk into buttons, but
the success Of that; house would seem TO
assure the safe outlay Of enterprislng
capital here in Minneapolis in a business
which as yet stands without competition.
But not quite all OF the butt termilk IS
wasted. Some: 700 gallons are sold TO
men who buy it for g cents a~gallon and
sell It at 8 cents glass: About 300
gallons are also given away to all adut1s
who take the trouble to apply to the-colo
storage company fort Children are not
admitted for fear of accident. Ihe
dwellers in the Bohemian fats and some
of the city missionaries are. the chief
patrons of this branch of the business.
