Albert Lea Enterprise: In the midst
OF the unfavorable farming conditions
Of the past year the cow has proven
the. farmers stand by and yielded him
snug monthly income which has tided
him over. In view of these things
Freeborn county farmers will hardly
discontinue their dairying but strive
on the other hand to improve their
COWS and get better ones-that will
give best returns for all purposes.
There is no question but what this
county will always continue in the
front rank as dairy section and it
would be folly for the farmers to aban-
don the business in view of the great
prosperity it has brought the county.

the first appropriation of two millions
for the new state capitol it was
guaranteed by Ramsey county that
that would be all that would be asked
for to complete the building designed,
But we all knew better than that, and
did not register very heavy kick
when the last appropriation was made,
being fully assured by the guarantees
made that that would be the last Of it,
and the building would be completed
in time for this session of the legis-
lature to meet in it. It lis now up to

What Nature Has Done for the
American Ironmong

We must recognize the lavish
hand with which Nature prepared
the way for our industrial triumphs,
by accumulating along the southern
and western shores of Lake Superior
those vast beds of iron ore, which
are not only the most extensive in
the world, but are SO placed that the
labor of excavating and loading for
shipment is practically nothing. The
ore, which is extremely rich, sixty
per cent of it being iron, lies practi-
cally at the surface of the ground ;
and it is so loose and friable that all
that is necessary for its recovery is
to run in train Of cars, set steam
shovel at work, and load the materi-
al directly onto the cars. This work
has actually been done at the rate of
$500 tons in ten hours, and this
with the labor of but ten men at a
cost of five cents only per ton for
labor. The supply is enormous, a
single corporation having recently
estimated its holdings at 100000
tons, valued at as many million dol
lars. These vast and easily-recover
ed supplies, however, would have a
limited value, were there not avail
able proportionate supply of coking
coal; and this has been provided
with an equally lavish hand in the
famous Connellsville district, where
single coke company on entering
into one of the great industrial COM
binations of the past few years, stat
ed that it owned 10000 acres of coal
lands in this region, and 1900 coke
ovens. Within easy reach of the
coal districts there are also large
quarries of limestone, third of the
three constituents in the charge Of a
blast furnace.-The Iron and Steel
Number of the Scientific American.

Not Very Badly Mixed.

One of our half breed exchan ges
affects to believe that the stalwart
press is .smixed" on the state tax
business. There are few points,
however, in connection Herewith,
upon which the stalwart press is not
very badly mixed. In the first place,
it is entirely clear to the stalwart
press that the oft-repeated assertion
by the half-breed press that, "this is
the first year in the history of the
state in which there was no state tax
levy" is an unmitigated falsehood.
In the second place, it is equally
clear to the stalwart press that, had
it not been for the four hundred
and fifty-eight thousand dollars re-
ceived from the general government
upon claim growing out of the
civil war, state tax levy would
have been necessary to avoid a big
deficit in the general fund account of
the state. In the third place, the
stalwart press is familiar with the
fact, that the states claim against
the general government was based
upon money which the state had bor-
rowed from the state trust funds,
and upon which the state is pay
ing seven per cent interest, and
upon which it must continue to
pay per cent interest, until a state
tax levy shall be made for the
purpose OF clearing off this indebted
ness. In the fourth place, the stall

IS NOT NEGLECTED.
Bill Nye's Grave Is as He Wished
It to Be.

Frank M. Nye of Minneapolis,
brother of the late Edgar w. billy
Nye, objects to some statements con-
tanned in an article published in the
Globe Nov. /, advocating the erec-
ton of a monument to the memory
of the famous humorist. The arti-
Gle in question bore the date line of
Asheville, n. c., near where Mr..
Nye died seven years ago, and 1T
was represented that his grave is un-
marked, and hidden from sight in
the tangled grass of country
churchyard. Walt McDougall, the
cartoonist, who illustrated "Bill''
Nye's article, contributes in connec-
ton an interesting series of reminis-
cences of the humorist and expresses
keen regret that he should be SO soon
forgotten.
Mr.. Nye says, partly by the way
of correction and partly in protest
There is an implied reflection up
on my brothers family in this and
other stories of a similar nature that
have been going the rounds of the

Points on Panama.

Panama has an area of 1851
square miles-nearly the size of the
state of Maine.
Its population is $4,000, almost
the same as that of the District of
Columbia.
Its commerce, including both i'm
ports and exports, amounts to about
$3,ooo,ooo a year. That is about
Sill for each inhabitant. The rest
of Colombia has foreign trade of
less than 81 head.
Colon and Panama, its principal
ports, have mixed populations OF
5000 and $4,000 respectively.
The United States leads all ma
tons in the amount of its trade with
Panama.
A weekly steamer connects Pana-
ma with San Francisco.
Gable lines connect both Colon
and Panama with the United States.
Between Panama and Colon two
passenger trains run daily; distance
AZ miles, time three hours.

The Free Press must be proud of
its work one day recently when it
published two fac smile letters from
Congressman Babcock, one four
and the other five years old, adj
dressed to constituents, possibly the
same man, expressing his compli-
ments and each enclosing a railroad
pass. This is held up as damning
evidence against the Congressman.
And to rub it in section is publish
ed from the state anti-pass law, en-
acted after the letters were written,
forbidding the giving or receiving
of passes by people holding position
under the state government, which
Mr.. Babcock did not. This is dirty
work; and is it not dirty work on
the part of the Free Press to have
dealings with man or men who
accepted Mr.. Babcock's kindly mes
sages and favors and then tried to
'give him away" Sneakish is it
not?-Whitewater Register.

Whatever political capital may
be made out of the 'sno state tax
levy" hurrah, will be more than
counterbalanced by the fact that the
state is paying seven per cent inter-
est upon the money which rendered
practically the emitting of state
tax levy for current expenses. Our
Democratic friends will give this
matter their attention during the
next campaign. 1t would have been
better for the party, had state tax
been levied, but the present state
administration wants Hno state tax
levyw for rallying cry in the next
convention for the nomination of
state officers, trusting to the presi-
dental ticket to pull them through
in November.

press. My brother died at the lodge
he hal built at Fletcher's Station in
North Carolina, which he called
Bucksholes, and he was buried in
the cemetery attached to the little
church his family attended. His
widow preferred that a memorial
window in the church should mark
recollection of him rather than an
expensive monument in the Calvary
graveyard.
She felt that this would be more
in keeping with his modest, unosten-
tatious nature. He was a believer
IN cremation, and had expressed
himself as opposed to the displays
that are sometimes made in the con-
nection with the burial Of men of
note. Her choice settled the matter
at the time.
1t was a small church, and the
surroundings gave no appearance of
neglect. On the contrary, every
thing at the time Of his burial seemed
rather romantic in the surroundings,
we'll attended to, neat and well kept
up.
[ arrived at his home on the day
of his death, but seven hours after
he had expired. Mrs. Nye and the
family were at that time very COM
fortably situated. My brothers es-
tate, | think, yielded between $780,
900 and $4,000, exclusive of life in
surance, which, ] think, amounted
to about $4,000 more.
Mrs. Nye afterwards met with
some reverses, losing at one time
$4,000 by the failure of bank at
Asheville. She removed to Ithica,
N. Y, after his death and | visited
her there two years ago. Since
then her family has become some
what scattered, and she is now resid-
ing at Chicago.
| am certain that neither she nor
their children have lacked for any of
the comforts of life; so the news
paper syndicate writers are mis-
taken on that score.
While / appreciate the kindly
feeling which prompts the sugges-
ton that contributions should be
solicited for the purpose of erecting
a monument to his memory, | feel
panied by the sensational and unjust
imputations that have been made OF
neglect on the part of his family and
relatives. This has caused the keen
est distress to his mother, and, | am
sure, to his widow, although | have
not heard from her on the subject.
If monument is to be erected to
Edgar's memory, I hope it will be
simply modest shaft, purchased
with contributions from those who
knew and loved him-as a lnattet OF
affection, and not because his grave
is said to have been neglected.

Notice..

Last year many that kept pigs
slaughtered them in their back
yards, and many complaints against
such practice were sent in by ladies
demanding that the nuisance should
be abated. Now the ladies were
right. Persons having slaughter
ing to do should have it done by the
local butchers or do it outside the
city limits. l am in hopes we can
discontinue the pig biz in this city
next year. Will try to anyway.

The half press does not
seem to take kindly to Hon. Emil
Baensch as a n-factional candidate
for the office of governor. This is
not at all surprising. The La Fol
lette machine has no use for non
factional candidate for any office.
1t does not desire party harmony
upon any other basis than the COM
plete humiliation of the stalwart
element IS a factor in Wisconsin
politics. Any party machine that
is operated with the domineering
insolence which characterizes the
management of the La Toilette out
fit, should be set aside to make room

wart press would hazard nothing
in assuming that the inspirational
power by which the half-breed

positions laid down above, to be cor
rect. It is an insult to the intelli-
gence of the people of the common
wealth of Wisconsin, for the present
state administration to attempt to
fool them in the matter of state tax
es. The people know that no state
tax this year means the further pay
ment of interest, and state tax later
for the payment of the debt.

President Brier, at recent meet
ing of the Normal school faculty,
read an analysis of the quarterly re-
ports of attendance at the Normal

following:
Total attendance. .3,32'
Total Normal attendance. ,098

High school graduates. 81 ,Ol8
Practice teachers. ol9
In all of the schools the attendance of High
school graduates is a trife over so per cent of
the Normal attendance.
A comparison of these figures with those OF
1902 reveals the following:
Decrease of total attendance. .............. 19
Decrease of Normal acknowledgements. 2
Increase of Normal attendance (not in
GLIDING preparatory $500. .......... 8
Increase of High school graduates........ 81
Increase of practice teachers. ........... 100

is about SO per cent of the total attendance,
including the preparedness.
In the number of practice teachers the in
crease this year over last year is 100.
