General Passenger Agent
Since 1884.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press of
recent date printed a sketch and fine
portrait of Mr.. Thomas w. Teasdale,
formerly of this place, who has been
General Passenger Agent of the
Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha Railway, since 1884. The
Pioneer Press says:
" During eighteen years service
with the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Omaha railway as chief of the
general passenger department, 7. w.
Teasdale of st. Paul has become one
of the best known passenger men in
the West. His railway service dates
back to 1895, when he began with the
Mineral Point railway, a short Wis
cOnsin line. He has risen through all
the intermediate grades to his present
position, and was for some years
assistant general passenger agent and
then general passenger agent Of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway.
His management of the affairs of the
Omaha has been marked by cOntin-
uOus success. Mr.. Teasdale is recog-
nized as very able and progressive
passenger official"

Obligated for 1902.

The officers elect of Raven Lodge
No. 58, K. P, were duly installed last
Thursday evening in private way
by Deputy G. G, J. 2, Williams of
the Linden lodge, assisted by DR.
Grimes, of the same village, acting
as Grand Prelate, and w. J. Penhal-
Logon, of this city, as Grand Master
at Arms. The attendance was quite
large, several of the Linden knights
being present. Work in the third
rank by the home lodges newly in
stalled officers was so we'll done that
all visiting knights departed with
the grounded opinion that but few
lodges in the state are better equipped
for 1902 than Raven No. IS. After
these services refreshments We're
served, followed by a musical feast
by the mandolin club assisted by
members of the order, Grand final:
off for home happy and content.

Sad Death of Mrs. Fathers,

Racine daily paper, Saturday
morning, Jan. 4: Grim death laid
his icy finger on young motherhood
this morning at the home of Henry
Fathers, 1011 Tenth street, and a Sor-
rowing husband mOurns his young
wife, who leaves a little infant son to
struggle in life's battle without a
mothers love. Mrs, Fathers died
this morning at s o'clock, succumbing
to scarlet fever. Mr.. and Mrs.
Fathers were married three years ago
and with the approach of Christmas
were happy, proud and expectant,
having looked forward with great
pleasure to the welcoming of the little
stranger, the first to brighten their
home. The child was two days old
when both mother and infant took
scarlet fever. Later other cOmplica-
ions set in on the mother and death
claimed its victim this morning. Lit
tie hope is entertained for the recOv-
cry of the child. Mr.. Fathers is an
Industrious and skilltul painter, and
has the respect and sympathy of the
entire community.

Miss Eta Cook.

There is special sadness when
death comes to one in the spring
time of life, as in the case of Miss
Eta, the l8-year-old daughter of Mr..
Q. S. Cook, who died of pneumonia
Thursday, Jan. I'd inst. Deceased since
coming to our city with her parents
about three years ago, had won her
way to general favor among her
school mates and young associates,
who are sincere mOurners with the
afflicted family. Oct. 1st just three
months ago, death took the mother
from the same household, and at the
time of the daughters death and
burial, son, William, aged %, was
SO critically i'll with the same dis
eased that he could not safely be
informed that his sister had been
taken from the household.
On Sunday the fair young form
was laid away in Gracelaud ceme-
terry, after services at the M. E.
church, the Sunday school, of which
she was a member, forming a process
sion, with pail bearers of her class
mates. The sadly afflicted father,
brothers and sisters nave general
sympathy of young and old in the
community.

DIR. Henry Austin Adams.

On Thursday, Jan. 10th, Dr. IT A
Adams Will deliver his great Iectsre

opera house of this city, for the BEN
etit of st. Paul's Catholic chproh
DR.. Adams after several years before
the public is more eagerly desired
and welcomed than upon his first an
pearance. Few men are so cenerous-
ly endowed in this regard as the DR.
He treats his subject in a masterlv
manner, is equally instructive and
entertaining to everyone of his hear
ers. The lecture, which he will oivs
on the 18th, is one of his most highly
commended. He delivered this Iac-
ture, short time ago before an i'm
mense audience in the Central DIus-
ic Hall, Chicago, by whom it was
most enthusiastically received. The
Chicago papers noticed il in very
complimentary language. AS DIR
Adams has already lectured in Min
eral Point on two different occas-
sioDs, there is no doubt but that the
opera house will be filed on the eva
ming of the 10th.

A Narrow Escape From Fire.

Richland Democrat: The general
store of j. L. r. McCollum & Co. had
narrow escape from fire one even
ing last week. One of the gasoline
lamps was out of order 10 such a
manner that gas had leaked from it
and filled the upper part of the room.
When the blaze was applied an explo-
sion followed and in an instant the
entire store was afame. Thos. Nc
Nurlin happened in just at the right
time and with his heavy .mittens
grabbed the blazing lamp and threw
it out OF doors, aud few buckets of
water controlled the remaining flames.
Papers and loose material in the
postofice part were somewhat scorch-
ed, but no serious damage resulted.

On the Rail.

Madison Democrat: Officials of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Rail
way company were in Watertown the
other day looking over the company's
property there. Their visit is said to
be on account of the proposed double
track system between Watertown and
BroOkfield, 1t is pretty certain that
the work of double tracking will be-
gin next spring. With two lines be-
tween Milwaukee and Watertown
much of the heavy traffic now going
over the Prairie du CHEN division
would 60 west by way of Madison,
thus relieving the UraiIic from the
other line. 1t is also possible that
double tracking will be begun between
Portage and New Lisbon next year.

OUR CITY HIGH SCHOOL
Report Of Prof. Meyers University
High School Inspector.
Recommendation of the Univer-
sity COmmittee.-A New Build.
ing Strongly Urged.

y
J. W. Hutchison, president of the
Board of Education of Mineral Point
city, has received the following letter
from the University of Wisconsin:
"The committee has recommended
that the Mineral Point High school
be continued on the accredited list for
all courses except the Ancient class
ical
''The inspector who recently visited
you reported that he found the general
condition of the school excellent. The
pupils were orderly, attentive, stu
diOus and intelligent. In spite of the
extremely unfavorable physical con-
ditions due to the cramped and de-
decrept building, the school as
whole manifested an admirable tenn
per There existed in addition to the
admirable tone a balance and sym
metry in the school which was most
pleasing to observe.
Much credit should be given for
the successful effort which has been
made to make the old building in
which your high school is housed hab-
liable and agreeable to live in. In
spite of all these efforts the fact re-
mains that there is probably no
school of equal size in the state of
Wisconsin which is housed in such an
inadequate old building; one hundred
and twenty-five pupils are entitled to
more space than your pupils have,
and neither they nor their teachers
can do their best under such extreme
ly unfavorable conditions. 1t is hoped
that the citizens of Mineral Point
may see their way clear to construct a
new building in the immediate future" :"

Orthodox Republican Doctrines.

The Republican members of con-
gress who have taken firm stand
against any concession to Cuba in
volving an exception to protective
principles are thoroughly consistent
and on solid ground. If the tariff
on sugar is to be reduced especially
to oblige Cuban planters and middle
men the protective tariff system will
be assailed at other points to assist
foreign interests at the expense OF
our own. The Republican national
platform goes no further with reci-
procity than to approve of 1t in deal
ing with articles that we do not pro-
duee ourselves. That is the true basis
of action for Republicans. If they in
troduce an exception they open the
door to other exceptions and to tariff
tinkering, the end of which no one
can foresee. The impartial protection
of American industries is ac-
knowledged unquestioned Republican
doctrine. Special tariff concessions to
a foreign country are not Republican
doctrine and never can be until the
party abandons one of its principle
and cardinal articles of faith.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

1t may be that the American Sugar
Refining company, otherwise known
as the sugar trust, has become buga-
boo with which to brighten us honest,
Woodworking tillers of the soil, and it
certainly appears in multifarious
shapes, now as Cuban sympathizer
in Washington, deploring the recalci-
trancy of congress in admitting brown
sugars at fraction of the present du-
ties and at the same time religiously
prohibiting the importation of Cuban
white sugars; appearing again as
great plantation owner in Cuba and
then again in Porto Rico. We learn
that the trust is partner of Claus
Spreckels in California, including his
immense new beet sugar factory at
Salinas, the largest in the world, and
now from Denver comes the news that
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany has made the first move to take
up the beet sugar industry in Colorado.

tendent of construction and refiners of
the American Sugar company, after
two weeks spent in an investigation of
the situation in Colorado, has returned
to New York. Two companies, to
operate in Boulder, Weld, Larimer,
Arapahoe. Jefferson, Morgan, Wash
ington and Logan counties. have been
incorporated with a combined capital
of $1,0O0,000 and Mr. Mes has secured
options on lands suitable for beet Gull
ture and for the erection of sugar re-
, fineries. These lands are those which
Independent beet sugar companies
were examining with view to pur-
chase.
Evidently the sugar trust must be
casting anchors to the windward, and
when sugar refining becomes lost art
as is certain as soon as the plantations
make white sugars, which they can
easily do, the magnates Of the cugar
trust will come to the cane and beet
fields and earn their living by the
sweat of their brows, like the rest of
us.-The Louisiana Planter and Sugar

found.
A Mrs. Hildebrandt of this place
after trying very man. medicines has
recently found successful remedy for
this painful disease.
This woman suffered so with the
Rheumatism in her arms that sleep or
rest became impossible.
She heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills but
having little faith in anything was very
reluctant to spend any more money for
medicine.
However, she decided to try one box
and this helped her SO much that she
continued to use the Pills Now she
says:
II am real well and don't know how
can express my thanks to Dodds
Kidney Pills for what they have done
for me-"

WIN the Farmers stand IT.

Before making the cut in the sugar
tariff the dominant party in Washing
ton should study the statistics of the
last election. Where did the big ma
iorities come from. majorities which
elected Republican congressman and
gave the presidential ticket an I'M
preeedented vote? The answer will
be, From the farmers of the Middle
West and Western states. The cities
had overcome their alarm at the white
metal menace, but the farmers, many
of them carried away by the silver
craze of '96, lined up for the Republic
can party as they never did before.
And now the first change proposed in
the tariff is one that will lower the
protection on a product of the farm.
Is this fair treatment of the farmers?
Will the farmers stand it to see their
prosperity threatened while other in
dustries are left undisturbed? Unless
all the signs fail the tariff will be a
leading issue in the next campaign.
and where will the Republican party
be with the farmers alienated Grand

INVITING RETRiBUTION.
Southern Democrats Cannot AFFORD tc
Vote with the Tariff Robbers.

Vote with the Tariff Robbers.
The sugar interest could defeat the
Cuban concession if the Democrats OF
the house were to stand by the insur-
gent Republicans and refuse to make
any change in the tariff. 1t looks, how
ever, as if they are willing to open the
Dill for amendments only that they
may attack the tariff at various points.
This is dangerous policy, especially
for the members from the South. If
the representatives of the cotton states
insist upon attacking the tariff at va
rious points how can they expect to
defend the iron and steel schedule by
which Alabama, Tennessee and Geor-
gia are so largely defended? How can
they refuse to reduce or entirely re-
move the tariff on cotton goods as be-
ing an unnecessary protection for a
country where the raw material is
grown and where We are experts in
machinery? To glance for moment
at our great and growing cotton in
dustry must convince every Southern
congressman that he is inviting peril
GUS retribution when he attacks sched-
ules in which this section is either not
concerned or is greatly interested
In the cotton industry the number Of
workers employed has increased 1874
per cent while wages have increased
1913 per cent. This is explained by
the expansion of the industry in the
South and the comparatively low rates
of wages prevailing here. Details are
IS follows:

If the census had been taken this
year instead of in 1900. the returns
would undoubtedly have been still bet
ter, as trade conditions have improved
materially during the past fifteen
months.
Now, if Southern Democrats attack
certain schedules, in which they are
not specially interested, they need not
be surprised to find the Republicans
retaliating in kind. The mills Of the
North, which turn out finer grade
of goods, can stand large cut in the
cotton goods schedule, while it would
be simply ruinous to the South. To
reduce the cotton schedule is to dis
place from the home market, in favor
of British and German mills, much of
the products of our Southern mills. 1t
is therefore good policy for the South
ern Democrats to stand by the Louisi-
ana sugar growers and by the cotton
factories that are now springing up in
every direction. If an alliance is
formed between the Democrats and
the insurgents" let it be an honest

Squaw's Unique Dress.

A dress owned by Kiowa Indian
squaw was sold in FL Reno, Okla,
for $1,000, and the purchaser thinks
he was lucky to get it at that price.
1t is lavishly decorated with elk teeth,
which are becoming almost as valua-
BILE as pearls, and the squaw, like
many of her paleface sisters, thought
that $1,000 was altogether too much
money to be invested in one dress.
