JerOme's Raid.

That man Jerome, prosecuting attor-
ney for Greater New York, is strenuous
individual, and he is well acquainted
with the ways of the world. He knows
the arts and devices to which the gam
blers resort, and for these reasons he is
the right man in the right place. His
raid upon the well known gambling house
of Garfield has been referred to frequent
ly, but the story is best told by Harry
Davis in The May Pearson:
Jerome's visit to Canfeld's, it was real
ly a raid, was made just before midnight,
at time when Forty fourth street was
literally choked with cabs and carriages
waiting supper parties in the nearby
restaurants. He took some policemen
and detectives and a ladder with him.
When his ring at the front door was I'M
answered, the ladder was poked through
q plate glass window and Jan entrance
was effected.
There was no gambling going on in
Canfeld's. Garfield, with his reputed
manager was conversing with a we'll
known lawyer, and it looked as if the
secret plans OF the raiders had been
betrayed.
Jerome decided to search the place.
The detectives made an inspection, but
nowhere did they find single article to
indicate that the establishment had ever
been used for gambling purposes. Mr..
Garfield was triumphant: You see it
is as l told you," he said. Il hope you
will look around yourself and verify the
report of your men,"
Il will" replied jerome.
With his knuckles Mr. Jerome sounded
the wall of each room he entered. In
what looked like a store-room he found
place that gave back a hollow noise
''Tear it down." he said tersely, to a
stalwart policeman who stood near him
ak in hand. Crash went the steel through
the partition, showing thin wall of
pine board papered over to look like
plaster. Two more blows and the entire
side of the room fell. Garfield lost his
air of confidence.
Don't break any more" he said, 81
believe there is some furniture in there
my men will get it out for YOU
There was no need to accept the pro-
ferred service. The torn-out partition re-
vealed a second store-roon lined with
heavy mattresses and concealing five rou-
lette wheels, three faro layouts, and
several thousand poker chips. Garfield
was served with a subpoena to appear
as witness against his manager, who
was identified by the detectives. He went
to Europe few days later, ostensibly to
have his portrait painted by the artist
Whistler.

An important discovery has been made
ii connection with the agricultural APP
preparation bill which passed congress at
the last session. 1t gives the secretary
of agriculture cooperating with the Sec
rotary of the treasury, power to pre-
vent importation into this country of all
impure food products, liquors and drugs.
The law goes into effect July and will
be strictly enforced: 1t will shut out
of the American market all foreign i'm
pure foods and pave the way to the
speedy passage of bill in congress to
prevent the manufacture and sale of
similar goods at home. The fact that
the bill contained such provision was
evidently overlooked by the government
officials uneil very recently, and the
general public at no time has had in
formation concerning it. Exporters will
also be glad to know that the same bill
gives the president power to retaliate
against foreign countries discriminating
against American goods, which ought to
bolster up American trade in Germany
and Holland.

must stand in idleness and watch the
''hustlers" as they pass quickly by.
There are 'hustlers" in Mankato We
have one in mind who CAME here less
than eight years ago. He possessed but
few dollars and was in debt over
a hundred. He enlisted in the army of
hustlers and worked with an energy born
of a purpose. Today that man is we'll
TODD, owns a fine piece of business
property, has money, and during the
balance of his days can live off the fat
of the land and not worry over the price
he pays for the luxury. What he pos
sesses he hustled for. 1t is his by right
of hustling.
Other cases might be cited, but this
one is enough to show in a practical
way what can be accomplished by the
''hustler."
Young man, become member of the
great army of hustlers. In after years
you will be in position to enjoy the
fruits of your hustling.

Hustle-To Crowd.

Hustle-a small word in the English
lGnguage-often confounded with the
word rustic, but there is as much diff.
ference between the two as there is
between day and night Hustle, as de-
fined by Webster, means to crowd, to
move forward. 1t is not an aristocratic
nor Understanding word, yet many a
man has pushed his way into the monied
aristocracy because of his ability to
hustle, He is called "hustler" Hust-
ling has brought to many men that al
powerful,yet often despised commodity
money. Hustling is the vehicle on which
many firm rode to prosperity. Many a
poor man has driven the wolf from his
door and secured an influential place in
the world because ne knew how to hus-
tie. Other men have provided them
selves with lucrative positions be cause
they understood the knack of hustling.
Hustle! 1t is an insignificant word,
and not refined one, but it means much
in this great world 1t is synonymous of
energy, push and ''get- there activeness.'
Now days one must hustle in order to
keep up with the procession that is
marching on to victory. Cities and
towns must hustle if they expect to
grow in wealth and population. Drones
do not accomplish anything for them
selves nor for the communities in which
they live. They are relegatsd to the
rear and to the sidewalks where they

line of hose 2,lOO feet in length before
they could begin to try to extinguish
the blaze. Now it can be readily seen
what water pressure can be had at the
nozzle end of line of this length when
you have but ninety pounds pressure at
your hydrant. In this case it was not
sufficient to throw an inch stream into
the second story window, but by work

aged to eXtinguish the fire, but on April
80 they were again called to the same
place. The same building having since
been repaired was again on fire, and in
fact on fire in every part of it when dis
covered. A strong wind was blowing
from a northwesterly direction and was
tanning the flames straight across the
street to the oil plant owned by the Stan
dart Oil company, and for time it look
ed as if the possibility of large con-
iagration had come too true, for had the
oil plant got under Roadway there was
no telling where the fire would be stop
ped, but the department again fought hard
and close for several hours and succeeded
ir mastering the situation, the result be-
ing the complete destruction of the round
house with two locomotives and a small
damage to the oil plant 1t was on this
occasion that through lack of proper
water supply the men had to fight so
close to the fire that several came near
being seriously injured if not killed.
l would also recommend the purchase
of an aerial truck and that it be placed
in the service at the central fire station
and that the one in service at the present
time be either sold or exchanged in part
payment for the new one. The latter

posedof to good advantage. My reason
for disposing of it is that the city has
outgrown its usefulness. 1t is mad

Minuesota's Glorious Record.

On Monday of this week Minnesota
celebrated the forty fifth anniversary OF
her admission into the union of states.
The span covered is comparatively short
when we consider the quick flight of
time. In those forty-ive years the
growth and development of Minnesota
has been marvellous and almost unpre-
cedented She became a commonwealth
almost upon the heels of a panic which
caused widespread disaster everywhere.
Hardly had she taken upon herself the
RESPONSIBILITIES of statehood when long
and bloody war was fought out. This
terrible tragedy compelled thousands of
stalwart men to leave her borders; and
then came the struggle with the Indians,
which was prolonged, and the outbreaks
of the red men were of such an awful
character as to cause intending settlers
to remain in the older states to the east
of us. But the pioneers of Minnesota
Were courageous and they were satisfied
that from the rough could be hewn a
star which time would polish brightly.
Thus today we have the North Star state
whose lustre has never dimmed, a mag
nificent commonwealth, her latent re-
sources being developed, adding wealth
and population, furnishing homes for
thousands of patriotic and liberty loving
people.
Southern Minnesota has contributed
much to the development and fame of
this great state. From an unkempt
forest and vast prairie it has been trans
formed into garden spot, an Eden, the
beauty of which has been told frequently
in song and verse. From her verdant
soil has been produced wealth in abund-
ance. making many men rich, and now
in the evening of their lives they are en-
loving the results of the sacrifices and
the toll and the hardships endured in
those earlier years when they made it
possible for the white man to take up
home in this section of the northwest.
Brave pioneer All honor to their valor.
Forty-fiv years, little more than
two score, and yet wonders have been ac-
cOmplished in almost half of the allotted
number of years for man to live. At
the breaking out of the war of the re-
Ill ha frs 70 of
a regiment in defense of the union.
Again. when the trouble with Spain oc-
cured Minnesota did not lack in her
patriotic duty. She was among the fore
most to contribute to the forces which
swept tyranny from the shores of Cuba
and Porto Rico, and her soldiers assisted
in routing Spanish domination from the
Philippine Islands. When distress, dis
aster or affliction overtakes sister states,
a foreign nation or wherever there needs
be aid extended Minnesota is not found
wanting in those humane attributes
which make the people of the world of
one kin. Her patriotism is steadfast,
her sympathetic nature boundless.
Forty-fve years, and yet how much
the people of Minnesota have to be proud
of, cannot be told in a few lines. Her
achievements are written in the lives of
the men who builded her foundation
and those who erected her superstruc-
ture. Her future will be as glorious as
her past.

When the Bryanites read the following
from The Milwaukee Wisconsin they can
hardly get away from the fact that there
is a plentiful supply of gold in this
world: "The Transvaal loan of $lO,-
100000 has not only been taken in Lon
don, and throughout Europe, but has
been subscribed fifty times over. 1t is
a three per cent loan, issued to the sub
scribers at par. England subscribed S4,-
'000,000,000, and the other countries of
Europe S3,OOO,OOO,OOO more. This may
be called a gigantic success, and shows
there is plenty of capital in the world
when there is confidence. The loan is
guaranteed by Great Britain, and there
fore is virtually British loan. 1t should
be remembered that this is not a silver
subscription, but gold subscription, and
gives certain promise that the S5OO,OOO,-
600 needed for the Irish land tenure act
will be at once subscribed"

Eastern capitalists are back of pro-

transmit electrical power to Red Wing,
a distance of twenty-three miles. All
the falls along the Zlumbro except one
have been secured and it is said 1000
horse power can be obtained. Represen-
tatives of the prospective company have

they can furnish power much cheaper
than the present cost. If the project is
consummated it will mean a great deal
for the development of manufacturing in
