The PHILOSOPHY of Despair by David
Starr Jordan is one Of the very interest
ing and notable books of the. year. In
reading it's pages one thinks Of the grace
the style but because it possesses all the
depth and lucidity of Ruskin.
ITO the pessimistic philosopher the
progress of the race is a mere Illusion.
There is no progGess only; only a. ada +
ronment or pass away. The beast fits the
forest for the same reason that the river
fits it's bed. Life is only possible under
the rare conditions in which life is not
destroyed.
In this volume the learned author says
many novel things in manner so entire
ly novel as to almost convince one that
there is something new under the sun:
1t is essentially a volume which appeals
to the masses. The simplicity OF style
and freedom from literary convention puts

TRIANGULAR CONTEST.
County kttorneyship Not Likely to
Go Begging.

From Tuesdays Daily.
AS winter approaches, the voters are
beginning to discuss the probability of
this and that person running for office.
1t is little early yet for POLITICAL
announcement, so the average person is
still in the dark as to who will be can
didatcs.
One rumor has it that w. A. Funk
will seek the nomination for the office
of county attorney at the hands of the
Republicans. When seen in regard to
this today, Mr.. Funk declined to commit
himself definitely, although the impress
sion given out from his conversation
was that he will probably be candi-
date. Mr.. Funk's three terms as county
attorney of jackson county would equip
him well for the office, as his record there
is said to have been exceptionally good.
Other rumors have it that County At
torney Wilson will seek another term,
and that Evan Hughes would not be
averse to filling the office. If this is 30,
there may be pretty fight in the pri-
maries.

Capital Is Said to Have Been Assured

From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
An electric railway project has been
rapidly but quietly promulgated in
southern Minnesota, and already the
greater portion of the right of way has
been secured for almost 100 miles to
connect with the rural electric lines oper-
ating in the northern part of Iowa, says
The Faribault Journal.
Two of the keenest promoters of the
northwest are responsible for the pro-
ject. In the most effective way and with
out publicity, George F. Getty of Mime
apolis and E. NJ Mabie of Iowa Falls,
Ia, recently of Philadelphia and former
ly of Minneapolis, went about the mat
ter and attacked. it from the two ex-
creme ends.
Mr.. Getty worked from Minneapolis
and Mr.. Mabie effected his half of the
work with Waterloo, Ia, as his head
quarters, and now the entire amount of
necessary capital is said to have been
raised and the right of way either secur-
ed or assured. The capital has been fur
nished by Philadelphia, Cleveland and
southern men.
The line will run from Minneapolis
almost directly south by way of Shake
pee, Faribault, Mankato and Albert Lea
until the Iowa line is reached at point
due south of Albert Lea. This portion
of the work will all be done under the
direction of Mr.. Getty and when the
state line is reached forces will be joined
with the road that will by that time have
been projected from Waterloo through
Iowa Falls, Clarion and Mason City, by
Mr.. Mabie.
1t will be, it is said, essentially rural
line, and vast possibilities will be open
ed up by it. Through the territory it
will traverse are to be found the best
dairy and farm lands in the northwest.
1t is understood that extremely long
and heavy cars will be operated, with
large vestibule at either end for the
purpose of carrying cheese, cream, milk,
butter and eggs; in short it will be a
sort of cross between heavy express
and light freight line and no doubt
is entertained about it Immediately prov
inc a marked success.
1t is understood that building opera
tions will be commenced as soon as the
breaking up of winter will permit next
spring.

SPRlNKLlNG COD WATER.
Occupation Of New Ulm Folks Anent
North and South Road.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The question mark many have placed
after the proposed Minnesota Central
railroad seems to be growing larger
every day. 1t now seems that the road
has not been bonded, as was stated, and
that there is very little likelihood of
its being built for at least several years.
A prominent New Ulm business man
was in Minneapolis Wednesday and
meeting Geo. R. Van Reed, vice presi-
dent and chief engineer of the company,
at the Nicollet hotel, turned the CONVEX
sation to the new railroad. He men,
toned to him the recent letter to the
Commercial Union from President d. H.
Beecher, of Grand Forks, asking for a
conference with committee from New
Ulm to consider the possibility of sell
ing block of first mortgage bonds in
this city. The vice president said that
the reason for this was that the directors
wished to sell bonds out west to help the
sale in the east.
The local man was surprised. He said
that he had understood that 100000 of
bonds had already been disposed of. Mr..
Van Reed said no, that they could sell
the bonds if they wanted to, but he did
not think they wanted to, and what was
more, he doubted if any would be sold
this year or next. He further said that
the road would be built next year, as the
officials assured the public, when they
were here.
These are extraordinary statements,
coming from the vice president and chief
engineer of the railroad, and following so
closely, as they do, the assurances made
here that the work of construction
would be commenced next spring and
that the road has accepted an offer to
bond some ITO miles for 81, 000, 000.-New

PULLED A GUN.
Young Man From Country Assaulted
Last Evening.

From Mondays Daily.
There was excitement in plenty on
North Front street last evening at a few
moments after six o'clock, with gun play
thrown in.
Clayton Moses, whose home is near
Kasota, and Burt French, whose father
has resort at Lake Emily, both we'll
known young men, drove to the city
in the afternoon and took in the sights
as they have frequently done before.
They put their team in barn at about
six o'clock and started along the street
When near the Stahl House, they
passed four young fellows who appear
ed to be under the influence of liquor.
French brushed one of them in passing,
when the man accosted him for it, and
he excused himself. This did not salts
fly the men, and Moses explained that his
friend had not intended anything by the
act. At this, one of the men hauled off
and struck Moses in the mouth, knock
ing him down. Moses drew a revolver
from his overcoat pocket, but hastily
replaced it when he saw the four men
and some others come after him. He
took to his heels, as did also French, and
did not stop until after he had passed the
city hall. He lost his hat in the melee.
A couple of little boys reported the
affair to the police, and Officer Robb
went out and soon returned with Moses
and French. He went in search of the
other parties, but could not find them.
After the explanation of the affair
given by the young men, they were re-
leased. They explained that they did
not know that they had the revolver un-
til Moses happened to put his hand upon
it, as it was in the pocket of the over
coat when he put it on, unbeknown to
him.
