Beatty Bros. moving picture
show consists of $4,000 of the
latest moving pictures and the
latest Illustrated songs sung by
Prof. Hanley, of New York.
This show is not to be classed
with the so-called moving picture
shows of which there are so
many travelling nowadays. It is
an acknowledged fact that the
Beatty Bros have the only six
moving picture machines on
earth with the Diamond Project
ing Lens. Beatty Bros. had these
machines made to order last
January, They have six sprock-

quiver. Most of the Beatty Bros.
pictures are colored and cost so
cents per foot, while the ordinary
picture costs 107cents per foot.

SETTLED FACT.
Tams Bixby Will Build Fine
Steamer for Lake Be-
midi.

That Tams Bixby will have a
steamboat built this winter to
operate on Lake Bemidji seems
to be a settled fact. The cost of
the affair will be about $4,000 and
it will be modern in equipment
and uesign. John w. Kelsey has
the work of drawing the plans for
the steamer.
The length Of the boat when
completed will be 20 feet, with a
Il foot beam. 1t will be equipped
with a so horse water.t tube boiler
Of latest design, in which steam
can be generated in three
minutes. The boiler is SO ar
ranged that explosion is impos=
sible.
There will be two engines, ar
ranged with power to drive two
32-inch speed wheels and allow
ing a carrying capacity of 125
passengers. The boat will be.
able to attain speed Of from Is
to 18 miles an hour. The inside
fnishings Of the boat will be of
the finest.

A trust deed from the Mime

to the Minnesota Loan & Trust
| Co. trustee was filed yesterday
with the secretary of state. The
deed secures $1,000, 900 Of the

handled in the northwest.
President b. A. Merrill of the
trust company said to a Mime

I'VE have always been inter

Minneapolis enterprise and cap
ital thatstarted this line, formerly
the Brainerd & Northern. The
late John S. Pillsbury was one
of the original promoters, and
later several leading Minneapolis
lumbermen became interested
Subsequently a controlling inter

It has been a successful prop,

a distinct benefit to Minneapolis.
This railway will make it pos
sible to ship pine logs to Mime
apolis, all rail, long after the
timber on the streams tributary

The Orange Judd Farmer makes
the following timely observation in
regard to farmers Institutes: s.DO
not neglect your opportunity to at
tend farmers Institutes whenever pos
sible. Nothing in recent times has
done more to promote the interests
and welfare of the rural population
than these gatherings. Farmers should
feel that these gatherings are their
Go prepared to learn something

under discussion. Why not make ar
rangement now to attend your local
institute and get others to go with
you? Jot down the questions you
want to ask from time to time and
hand thsm to the director of your in
stitute, if you are back ward about
asking them yourself. Every farmer
should support this institution and
make it meet his local needs as much
as possible by having questions an
Swered at these meetings."

A Year Of Prosperity.

In business the years record has
been remarkable. The prosperity of
the country has suffered no serious
check. There has been more money
in the country, both absolutely and
proportionately to population. than
ever before inr its history. Only re-
Gently has production seemed to give
any signs of catching up with tremen-
dous demands made on it. The rail-
roads have never known such prosper
ity. Mills and factories have found it
impossible to keep pace with their or
ders. Our foreign commerce has great
ly developed, and no small part of the
trar satlantic carrying trade is COW IN
American bonds. There has been some
falling of In exports, but this IS only
because of a shortage of the corn crop,
and of the inability Of our steel mills
to meet the demands made on them.
No enterprise seems too formidable
for Americans to undertake. Ameri-
can goods and American workmen are
finding their way all over the world.

The Railway Gazette estimates that
6,026 miles of new steam railway have
been built within the United States
between January l and December 81,
1902. These figures do not include
second track, sidings or electric lines.
The total Is larger than for any year
during the past decade, and compares
with 5, $3.50 miles in 1901.
The Gazette says that returns from
locomotive and car building plants
show that approximately 164, SAT cars
have been built, including cars for use
IN elevated railroads, but exclusive OF
street and other electric cars. This is
bv far the largest number ever made
in the country and exceeds by 25,542
the output for 1901. These figures
10 dot include cars built by RAILROADS

corded, approximately l62, 500 are for
freight service and 1,94S for passen-

Convict Labor Question.

49, a%.L E
Indiana has an opportunity to profit
by the experience of other states that
are now studying the convict labor
question. A few things have long ago
bsen well settled in this connection.
One is, that convicts should not be
supported in idleness, and another is
that futile labor, such as carrying
bricks or cannon balls from q end of
a yard to another, and back again is
not healthful nor profitable. The vir-
tue in work is that it leads to the ac-
complishment OF something. Convlcts
should be employed, and their work
sh0ulp show results. The legislature
at she coming session would do better
tocontinue temporarily existing con-
tracts than to keep the prisoners In
idleness. 1t should be sure Of its
course In acting. II it car gain any,
thing by studying the experiment
that other states have been making on
this line for years it should not be
afraid to do so.--IndianapoliS News.

An educational report from Mime
sofa announces with some boastful-
ness that no log schoolhouses were
built in that state this. year, but ad-
mits that 237 of these 'sancient relics"
are still in use there. There is no &C.
.casion to speak scornfully Of log
houses, either as residences or for
school purposes. In a cold Climate
like that Of Minnesota they are in
6nitely warmer and more comfortable
than any frame building. Moreover,
they are costly in these days. and even
in a timber country a frame house
may be put up for less money. Only
rich men can afford to build log houses
now, and many OF them are enjoying
the privilege by erecting such struc-
lures for SUMMED homes. A good log
house with modern Improvements is
a luxury to be desired.

Lemon Juice for Typhoid BaeiIli.

The discovery that lemon juice will
destroy the typhoid germs in water,
made on Christmas day by DR.. Asa
Ferguson Of London, England, is one
Of the most important in the history
of meteorological research, in whict
such amazing progress has been made
with a decade.
The scientific deduction from the
experiments IS that a few drops of
lemon juice in a glass of drinking wa
ter will kill any typhoid germs that
may be in the water, and hence render
the drinker immune from typhoid
fever. Whether this deduction Is
scientifically correct is a matter for
aScertalnmenJ az a result of future
experiments. In any event, the
value Of the lemon, already regarded
as highest among citrus fruits, Will be
greatly enhanced by this discovery.
Nearly thirty years ago the present
assistant commissioner of health in a
report on the cholera epidemic CT
1878 prepared for the supervising sur
geon Of the United States marine
hospital service, stated that the poison
of cholera was destroyed naturally
either by the process of growth or Shy
contact With acids, and gave the
formula for a sulphuric acid lemonade
to be used in the treatment of AsiatiG
cholera. Verify there is nothing new

fFinanciers expect bills to be in
troduced in the legislature this term
that will be calculated for the benefit
OF both bankers and depositors. Two
Of the measures to be introduced will
be advocated by the Indiana Bankers
Association. Another. while not To-
dorsed by the association, in fact, not
having been brought before it. will
have the support of the bankers of
the state with few exceptions.
The bill that Is not Endorsed official
ly by the bankers is one to exempt
from state. county and corporate
taxation, state, county and municipal
bonds. 1t is The theory that If these
bonds are exempted it will enable
their issuance and sale at much lower
rates on interests, In order to stim-
uiate home Investment in home
securities it is proposed to exempt all
county bonds held by residents of the
county in which they are issued, and
all municipal bonds held by residents
Of the municipal corporations by
which they are issued, from state,
county and corporation taxation.
This would make them particularly
valuable for home investment.
The bankers will ask that it be
made a crime for any one to issue
checks in excess Of the amount which
ne may have on deposit. This law
works in the interest of the CONNER
cial world generally and brings the
banks to a system Of greater security
because some depositors expect a bank
TO take care of excess CHI ecks.
