Certain of the younger club men are
bringing from New York habit which
was formerly confined to the good livers
of greater girth and years.
There is opulent way about the mo-
ton with which a man who has taken a
good dinner leans back so as to release the
tension on his vest pocket and inserting
his fingers. brings out the tiny, aluminium
box in which-tut-we had almost called
It a "dinner pill Not that he brings the
box TO light. 1t is simply there in his
hand. twist. shake. and soon after
a little chocolate coated Iron -Ox--nerer
call 1t anything commonplace ce as din
ner pills in his hand. A second later
you've hardly seen the motion-but it's in
his mouth. Nobody mentions it, nobody
notices it--nobody calls it ''dinner pill
nobody calls it anything. In fact, il
may be said that among good livers Iron
OK goes without sa ying.

STAY THE SETTLER mo EXPENSE FUNDS
Good Work That Could Be Done by
State immigration
Bureau.
Some Telling Facts in Support of.
the Plan by W. D. WASH
burn, Jr.

w. d. Washburn, Jr., strongly favors
the creation of a state immigration bu-
reau. In discussing the proposition to-
day he pointed out that the railways were
now working mostly to send settlers far
ther west, while land holdings in Mnne-
sofa had become so much cut up that in
dividual holders could not afford extern
sive enterprises looking to the induce
ment Of the moving thousands to settle
here. Yet Minnesota had a vast amount
Of good unoccupied land. But the immi
grafton work of the American railways
and the Canadian government caused
thousands annually to pass through the
state without stopping.
"It should be realized said Mr.. Wash
| burn. that Minnesota to-day has but a
scanty population in comparison with her
| size and wealth. The great size Of the
state is not generally comprehended. 1t
| is nearly 400 miles from the Iowa line to
| the Lake of the Woods. This Is almost
the distance from Boston to Philadelphia.
1T is $50 miles from the Red river to
! the Pigeon river at the extreme east
This is about the distance from New York
to Washington.
ITO illustrate again, the city of Brai-
| nerd is generally considered to be in the
northern part Of the state. AS a mat
ter of fact it is almost in the center OF
the state, and there is considerably
| larger area or land IN minnesota nOrt1
of Brainerd than there is south of it
In a general way 1t may be said thai
| there is little or no population north OF
| Brainerd in a region which approximate<
nearly $4,000 square miles. This area
includes as much territory as the state:
Of Massachusetts,, Connecticut Rhode
Island, New Jersey and Delaware. These
states support population Of 100000
people, Outside Of the city of Duluth
the corresponding area in Minnesota doe:
not include over 10000 people. which *
about the size of the fifth and sixth ward:
in the city of Minneapolis.
'The county Of Itasca is larger than the
state of Connecticut and supports 5000
people; Connecticut has 900, 900, and is
thinly settled at that. -.
| :'Beltrami and st. Louis counties are
larger than the states of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island and hardly have: 49, ,00(
people outside the city of Duluth,
zone might drive from Aitkin 200 mile:
almost due north to the Lake OF the
Woods and he might possibly see twenty
settlers upon the entire tri This Is the
distance from New York to Boston, al1t
the whole trip would not then cover more
than half the length of Minnesota. Th'
magnificent county Of Otter Tail is abou
the size of Delaware, and yet it support
only $4,000 people.
! aside from the extreme northern coun
ties. which are thinly populated, the tie
next south has little more population; IL
fact. there is. not a county In the stat
except the city counties that could no
readily support anywhere from twice t.
ten times the population. =. =.

County Officers Salary Bill Does Not
Provide for Sheriffs Official
Expenses.
Additional Help Much Needed Now
Not Available Until Next d..
Year.

If the proposed county officials salary
bill as it now stands becomes law the
Hennepin county sheriff will receive net
income of something less than $4,000 per
annum. .-,. .s..... -
This startling fact has been discovered
by Sheriff J. W. Dreger upon a careful
study of the mea sure. AS a result there is
a commotion in the sheriff's office and
a. strenuous protest has been sent to the
committee in charge of the BILL
The new bill provides for a salary of
s4. 900 for the sheriff. but it fails to pro-
vide for the payment Of any of the ex-
penses connected with the performance
of his duties, such as the" conveying OF
prisoners or other persons to and from the
penitentiary, insane asylums and other
institutions These expenses amount,
figuring from past experience, to some
thing over $1,000 every year and would
have to be paid, according to the bill by
the incumbent himself.
The shertf's Views.
II was more than surprised to find that
no provision for expense money had been
made in the new bill" said Sheriff Dreger
this morning. Il think it was an over
sight, but, whatever it was, it should
surely be remedied at once. Why the
conveyance of insane patients alone, cost
5000 last month. This and numerous other
expenses would have. to be borne by the
sheriff if the law is passed as 1t now stands
and the salary of this office would be sucf
that surely could not afford to remain
here.
Another Objection.
| "Another feature of the bill which is
very Objectionable and which did no.
| understand at first Is that the adidt1ona
| force provided for this office will not be
available until the first Of next year. Wha'
is the use of having any increase at al

GEORGIA CHICKENS
AT NEW YORK FAIR.

Lightning Damaged 1875 Phones.
VaIdOsta Ball Team Disbands.
valdosta, Ga, Aug. 11.-Mr. A. G..
Oliver of the Valdosta poultry yards.
leaves tonight for New York with two
carloads of chickens from the local
farm, which are to be exhibited at the
fairs in New York and other Northern
states during the next two or three
months. Mr.. oliver has one of the nm
est collections ever put on the road in
this country. many of them from his
famous New Jersey farm and others
from the farm here.
The chickens in which he takes the
greatest pride are the ones which were
Matched last winter. There are about
seventy varieties of them. Mr.. Oliver
was at all of the fairs last year and
cleared about $4,000 in premiums. He
thinks that his exhibit this year is
much superior to any he has ever had
before, and that he will get good prem
iums at all of the Northern fairs.
The hardest rain of the season fell
here last night, the water coming down
in torrents and flooding the streets. A
good deal of thunder accompanied the
storm, a bolt of lightning striking the
large tree between the homes of Mr..
r. T. MIDDLETON and the Pardees. The
same bolt hit the telephone wires and
burned out 1875 phones, badly Gripping
the local service. The messenger call
service of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company was also put out of
business for a short while.
There has been most too much wet
weather here for crops of all kinds, and
there will be big baokset If the rains
continue. There has been a shower
here every day for two weeks.
The Valdosta Baseball Club has dis
banded, after a season of about two
months. The team was composed OF
college players and they made an en-
viable reputation, both as players and
as courteous young gentlemen. They
made record of seventy-one innings
without allowing the opposing team to
score, which is the best record of the
year by any team. The team was much
lighter than either Tampa or Jack
sonville, and their batting was not SO
good. but in field work they outplayed
either Of the big Florida teams. Many
of the teams In the smaller cities have
disbanded, and the Valdostas decided
to quit, as they had no team to play
with. nearby.

OF CLASSIC ORIGIN.

Florida Agriculturist: The Florida
belief in the efficacy of the balsamic
odors of pine forests is no new dis
covery. 1t is impossible not be believe
that an aroma so grateful to the senses
and so soothing to the lungs does not
exert some curative influence. And
so, 1t seems, the ancients also thought
Ping considered that the odor of pine
forests was more useful in asthmatic
difficulties than the voyage to Egypt,
which was the Roman equivalent of
winter In Florida. But, besides mere
~ inhaling the air Of the pine forests,
buth ancients and moderns have made
use of the pine in baths and in their
pillows-vapor baths and inhalations.
This is not entirely modern, for the
ancients recommended the internal
use of decoction of strobiles or pine
cones and of pinetops. and thought
pinenuts to be very useful in diseases
of the chest, as the Indians of Western
Nevada do to-day. In modern times,
besides the use of drinks made from
the spruce and the tar-water so long
in vogue, we have had inhalations Of
tar and of various resins.
