became known to the dusky students
they scattered in every direction te
their various homes, all those who
could possibly do so giving the in.
stitution a wide berth, about fifty

classes will be held until further
notice and stringent quarantine
regulations are being enforced to
prevent the spread of the disease
The disease is supposed to have
been contracted by the student
while on visit to South Carolina
during Christmas vacation.
The authorities made application
to the county institution for infec

refused on the ground that Lincoln
University students could not be
regarded as 'spaupers." The suf-

FREE LIBRARIES.

It may not be known to many
people in Minnesota that a free
library may be had for the ask.
ing by applying to the Minnesota
State Library Commission. Var
ious commercial travelling librar-
les have been started in the
state, but this system is sup
ported by state taxation and is a
State Department, established
by legislature. A travelling
library contains IS or so carefully
selected books packed in a neat
case, with blanks, catalogs and
necessary directions for the cir
culation of the books. A library
will be loaned to any village,
town Of. community upon appli-
cation of at least 10 resident tax
payers, who will form a local
library association and agree to
be responsible for the proper
care Of the library. a fee Of 81
for fifty books and fifty cents for
twenty-five books is charged to
cover cost of transportation both
ways. The books may be re-
tanned for six months or may be
exchanged oftener if desired.
The travelling libraries are
especially designed for the use Of
farming communities and small
villages which cannot support a
local library. They are also OF
great service to small public
libraries which cannot have fre-
quent accessions of new books.
New libraries are now ready
for circulation. Those wishing
to secure the advantage of get
ting the best books free Of
charge should make application
as. soon as possible to Miss Clara
F. Baldwin, Librarian Of the
Minnesota State Library Com
mission, SIS Masonic Temple,
Minneapolis, who will furnish
application blanks and full in:

why as a rule it is advisable to
'spatronize home industry.
This rule will apply in almost
every line, particularly in buy
ing a piano as the dealer is
easily accessible in case atten-
ton is required. beside having
sold the instrument it is to
his interest to see that it is in
good condition as a standing
endorsement for him, and
very important consideration
for the buyer, an advantage he
will not have buying from a
distant dealer.
Not having the ready money
to pay for the piano need not
stand in the way Of purchas-
ing. Your home may have
the advantage of a musical in
strument. You can buy on
easy terms, paying for it in
small monthly payments that
will suit your circumstances.
We are making prices on in
struments very much lower
than ever before offered in
this part Of the state. Ii you
think of buying a piano in the
near future it will be to your
interest to take advantage of
this money saving opportunity.

KIondIke Gold Decreasing.

Although thousands of prospectors
have been exploring the Klondike re-
gion for over year, no new mines
have been discovered, and the govern
ment expert reports that this years
production will be $4,000, 900 less than
last year. In this respect the Klon-
dixie resembles the majority of new
medicines that spring up from time to
time. They seem to flourish for
season, but because of lack of merit
soon play out. Not so, however, with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
have been before the public continu-
ously for fifty years, and is today
more in demand than ever. Its won
derful success is attributed to the
fact that it positively cures indiges-

constipation, biliousness, and ma
