Good Showing.

The statistics of the state institu-
tions of Minnesota for the fiscal year
1902 show that in support there was
saving over 1901 Of $4,000. AS
matter of fact the saving is greater
penses really belong to 1901. The
population of the state institutions
has increased and the increase in the
cost Of food has been over 3S per cent.
Notwithstanding these two gains,
there is difference Of 1000 in favor
of this year. From this must, of
course, be deducted the cost Of the
board of control. Still there is a saw
ing of over 100000. This means re-
duction in the per capita tax of sup
port of nearly one-third, despite the
unfavorable conditions mentioned.

Big Draft Stolen,

Several mysteries connected with
the recent robberies of the mails in
the Minneapolis postoffice have not
been cleared up and inspectors are
busy trying to unravel them. One
that proves especially trying is the
theft of draft of $3.50 from letter
from Chicago. The draft was cashed
in a gambling house, but no trace of
the man who cashed it can be found.
Local police worked on the case at
one time, but "Riley Grammar, the
Plunger," the man who is said to
have cashed the check with G. L..
LOOMS, cannot be found.

My table is spread for luncheon;
Whom think you will lunch with me?
Why, my little Boy Blue, whose work is

Whose sheep lie asleep on the nursery
floor,
Whose herd through the newly tasseled
corn
He homeward led by his lutelke horn.
Then he fell asleep in my easy chair
And dreamed twas haystack tall and

But now he's awake and wants his tea;
MY little Boy Blue shall lunch with me.
And another, his sister. Did you not
know
That he had a sister some time ago?
With rosy cheeks and fosslilze curls,
To us the dearest, best Of girls,
A dainty lass to love and kiss,
TO fill our hearts and home with bliss?
Many caresses to her befall,
But little Boy Blue gives most of all.
Ever bonny and winsome, fresh and
sweet,
From her shining head to her dimpled
feet
She sits by my side in her tall high chair,
Like graceful lily, pure and fair;
Yes. Baby Erma Of summers three
And little Boy Blue shall lunch with me.
All, the years may pass as the years be-
fore
And many a guest pass through my door
And pause az my board for lunch and tea,
But none will bs ever so dear to me
Or fill my life with such JOY. as you,

Prof. Ed. FRANKLIN, OF Stephen, a

Thursday working the political bos-
~ses in line. He helped L. A. Nelson
stack grain on Thursday, and on
Friday morning, bright and early, he
and Mr.. Nelson started for the east

way out to Grygla. We are quite
satisfied that Prof FRANKLIN will
carry everything out that way.
We noticed certain Republican
from New Folden with a STEVENSON
button on. That is the first we
have seen, and hope that it will be
the only vote STEVENSON will get in
this part OF the county. Judging
from the number OF Grindeland but
tons carried both by Republicans
and Populists, Hon. A. Grindeland
will carry New Solum to a man.
The voters OF the ninth congress
sional district ought to be proud OF
sending an honest, upright and con-
scientious man to represent them in
the house OF representatives in the
next congress, and Hon. A. Grinde-
land is such man. Vote for him at
the primary election, Sept. 10th.

WILL APPOINT M'LAURlN
SOUTH CAROLINA's SENATOR
TO BE A UNITED STATES
JUDGE.

Washington, May 3o.-It is now
officially admitted, as has been pub
lished ct various times as probable,
that President Roosevelt has defin-
itely decided to appoint Senator John
L. McLaurin of South Carolina to
the vacancy on the bench Of the
United States court of claims by the
death of Judge John Davis.
The name Of Senator McLaurin in
connection with the vacant judgeship
was first mentioned about two weeks
ago, at about the time the names Of
ex-0ov. Atkinson of West Virginia
and Charles e. Magoon Of Nebraska,
law officer of the insular bureau Of
the war department, were laid be-
fore the president by their respective
friends.
President Roosevelt was strongly
inclined to appoint Mr.. Magoon, but
Secretary Root was 10th to dispense
with his services in the war depart
ment, where he made q creditable
record, and Mr.. Magoon withdrew
his candidacy q few days ago.
Senator McLaurin was commended
to the president Is . lawyer Of good
ability and Of excellent fitness for a
judgeship in the court Of claims.
The nomination Of Mr.. McLaurin is
expected to be made within few
days.
The salary of an associate justice
on the court Of claims is "a, 500 q
year, $500 less than that of Unit
ed States senator. Mr.. McLaurin
several weeks ago announced his in
tention of not being a candidate for
reelection before the Democratic
primaries of South Carolina, al
though he expected to run as an in
dependent candidate for the senate.
