forty or fifty towns the exclusive use

The price of the sermon to each man
is only 5 shillings, but If fifteen or
twenty men take it, it brings in to the
syndicator, you see, about 100 shillings,
or 1925. And since the sermons are
so short that one can be done in
morning, that is pretty good pay. The
syndicator advertises his sermons in
religious paper. The notice reads:

moderate views, who distinguished
himself during the university course
in Divinity and English composition,
will furnish original sermons, in strict
accordance with the Church of Eng

THE PASSING OF THE
BURNT CORK ARTISTS

one may read the death knell of all
this minstrel show business. The best
of everything lives, and until Dock
stader follows the example of Primrose,
audiences will gather to applaud him
with spirit, and to laugh with reck-
less disregard of the danger of apo
plexy. But after Dockstader, what?
| Ask the same question of any light
toed frumpled miss circling the coun-
try to-day in joyous reign and see how
many will seek to rise up in swelling
tights and ruStling trains to proclaim
that vaudeville and farce comedy shall
continue to flourish. In years long
gone as many as five minstrel tropes
have played to crowded houses in this
city at the same time. Their success
corresponded to the equal prosperity
that attends farces and variety bills
of to-day. With Primrose in retire
ment the minstrel of the happy past
rests practically all his claim to prom
inence with Lew Dockstader. This
jovial person may find some obscure
mortal to share his glory worthily, but,
at the best that makes only two, and
this spare total compares sadly with
the host that lives in memory.
For a quarter of a century Primrose
has travelled with the Ministries. He
started when the imitation negro was
rising to the zenith of his popularity
In Buffalo one memorable night in
1882 he strolled before an audience
with William Fl West. Their success
was instant. and there and then plans
were laid for the conquest of all that
was best in minstrel land. A few years
later the combination was Barlow
Wilson, Primrose and West. For seven
years this quartet held the center of
the darby stage, and then it was
changed to Thatcher, Primrose and
West. Another few years of money
making, and then it was Primrose and
West again, just as at the time when
they started in Buffalo. After a time
it became Primrose and Dockstader.
and now it is just Dockstader.
Mr.. Primrose believes the minstrel
was in greatest favor between the
years of 1884 and 1892. For that eight
year period the public could not get
enough of these performances, and
troupes of all grades of excellence
made money Farce comedy was the
first enemy to creep in and interfere
with the minstrel business, and then
came the mad craving for vaudeville
and the mushroom growth of variety
houses in all the large cities. MANY
Will feel regret at this slow passing
of the minstrels and will make unani-
nous wish that Dockstader NAV NOT
be tempted to join his partner in re-
tirement 1t stills a thoughtless laugh
to note suddenly the end of one Of
childhood's joys, and who would not
be child for an hour again to hear
the jokes crack and the crescent cho-
rus sing?

BOUGHT A HALF SECTION
Col. Eedger Becomes Interested in
 Valley Farm Land.

One of tne most notable real estate transactions of the season was con summated yesterday through the agen- cy of F.. J. Bennitt and J. Ernest Walker, when Colonel Thomas T. He'd ger acquired the ownership of a half section of land about eleven miles west of the city for the remarkably low con sideration of $12.O0O. The incident was rather an unusual one for in the deeds that passed were the names of two Un- tied States senators, Messrs. Thomas E. Bsrd and D. T. Perkins, of Cali fcrnia.
 Last summer Wm C. McNulty through the agency Of Mir. Walker. bought 160 acres of fine land owned by Senators Bard and Perkins and their partner, A. B. Smith. of California, also well known as a freuuent visitor to Phoenix. The deed. when finally se- cured had traveled across the water to Somerset county. England. where it was acllnOH ledged by Senator Bard be- fore the United States consul at Bris- toI. and returning to Phoenix was placed ir escrow.
 Yesterday Messrs. Rennitt and Walk CT transferred the property from Mir. McNU.ty to Mir. HedgeT and ct the same time sold to him the John Dan iel ranch of 16O acres adjoining, the
 cOnsidera ton for the entire transfer | being as named above.
 The Daniel ranch is all in alfalfa and ! there is also a neat house and a fins ] b7tn upon it. Of the other 160 acres
 sixty acres are in alfalfa and the rest | is fine grain land that has been under
 cultivation though recently has ncI been planted.

December Weather.

Last December was the wettest De-
cember Minnesota has had in thirty
two years, except the years 1880 and
1891. The month did not seem unusu-
ally wet, as the precipitation of mois-
ture was mostly in the form of snow.
The total precipitation for the month
was 2.48 inches, whereas the average
for the last thirty-two years is only LIS
inches.
The temperature for December was
three degrees colder than the average
for the last thirty-one years. The aver
age temperature for that time is 10 de-
grees and the average temperature for
last December was 16. There were
eight days when the mercury regis
tered zero or below the coolest day was

Apropos of point he desired to

at the Aldine association in New York
Of an old negro who experienced relig-

was just after the civil war. The ne
gro had been the colonel's body servant
as slave and remained in that capac-
ity even after receiving his freedom.
He joined the Presbyterian church.
Look here, George" said the colonel,
tell me about this predestination and
the elect. You don't believe your old
master is doomed to hell, do you?
Don't you think he will go to heaven
with the elect?" Respect and love for

come the newly acquired religion, but

his answer. II nevah heahed of no.

Good Season for LOGGING.

J. A. Nichols of the Nichols Lumber
company, returned Saturday from a
trip along the Brainerd & International
railroad. Mr.. Nichols visited several
camps, and found the work well ad-
vanced, and progressing rapidly. There
is the right amount of snow, and the
roads are in first-class condition for
good hauling. The ice on the lake is
not yet thick enough to allow the larg-
est loads to be hauled, but fortunately
very few of the Nichols camps have
lake hauling this year.
The season promises to be a profit
able one for small contractors, as the
roads do not need the care they have
some seasons. The work started early
and there is every prospect that there
will be an unusually long season Of
hauling.
Top-notch wages are paid this year,
and there is no difficulty in securing
men, especially for the smaller camps.
Many of the crews in the Nichols camps
are made up largely of Morrison county
men, and some of the contractors are
from here.-Little Falls Transcript.

increases and with the changes Or
dered by the county and State boards
of equalization, land values through
out the county received very material
advance, the State board ordering an
increase of forty per cent on all land
in the county with the exception of the
villages of Princeton and Milaca, where
the increase was ten per cent. It will
be remembered that Borgholm was re-
turned last spring by the assessor at a
real valuation of 1874, O92. It was dou-
bled by the county board, and with the
increase ordered by the State board
the real and personal property amounts
to Sl02, 1897. With the icrease over two
years ago as returned by the assessors
and the increase ordered by the State
board, the valuations in some of the
towns is almost doubled. East Side

more than doubled. The abstract of
