Conceit of Modern Life.

The conceit of modern life is self cen

defined leave only the most selfish and

Suicide by Smoking.

One of the most extraordinary sui
cides on record was enacted in Pesth.
Baron Rela Olyi, wealthy citizen, de
liberately poisoned himself by smoking
cigars and tobacco to excess. The bar
on had lost large fortune in specula-
ton. Having wife and six children,
he insured himself very heavily in
their behalf in five companies and then
proceeded to put into operation his
unique plan for self destruction. He
hired a small room in mean portion
of the city and in ten months died of
what the doctors called "galloping con-
sumption" He had consumed $500 ci-
gars and about hundred pounds of to-

Is it possible that we have been
laboring under an hallucination re-
garding vaccination? A corps of
alleged anti-vaccine experts have
been lowering around the Mime
sofa legislature for several days
past seeking a repeal of all vaccina-
ton laws, contending that vaccina
ton does more harm than good. If
their theories are right, and many
legislators seem to agree with them,
we have been contributing many
half dollars to physicians that might
have been used for the purchase OF
bread, but the doctors that have
been getting the halves and who
have advised. vaccination are stiff
to be heard from.

The people of Redwood county

another season for the growing of
crops. Every little helps and this

A LETTER TO DANA .SCHMAHL.
Papa Julius Writes About His Trip to
..4. ST.. Louis.

Ny Dear Boy We are just about
to enter a big town-a much bigger
town than St. Paul, where we will.
visit for couple of days, and where
we will see more little black plea
ninnies than any town in the north.
There are a whole lot of them here,
and as we passed through these
southern towns we could see the
little fellows sticking their heads on,
Of the shanties, peering at us, and
laughing, showing nice white teeth
from their little black mouths. You
would laugh all over if you could
see them.
There ism t any snow down here.
1t has all disappeared. But in place
there is mud, mud. ten, eleven, and
twelve inches deep, and people
don move about. with wagons.
They have to go from farm house to
town on horse back, aud the horses
have. to walk all the way. It is
much better for little children to
live in Minnesota, and you little
boys and girls up there don t know
what a picnic you have in SLIDING
down hill, aud throwing snow balls
at one another, while the little bows
and girls down here have to STAY in
their houses. or walow about ia the
deep, brownish mud. and their
mammas wouldn like to see them
do that, you know. They tell me
that they do, however, and that
many a little boy and girl gets
whipping because he or she comes
into the house all covered with mud.
So the boys and girls down here get
more whippings than you boys and
girls do up there.
The chance for the country BOYS
and girls to 90 to school are not
near as good down here as they are
up where you are. Minnesota is
dotted with the country school
houses, and nearly ali of them have
nicely kept grounds and the teach
ers seem to take pride ia both the
exterior and Interior. Your papa
got upat seven O. clock this morning
and from that time until we reached
st. Louis we saw but one or two
school houses. And oh, what horri-
BILE looking school houses they were.
Weeds had grown up around them
many feet high, making them look
as though they had been abandoned
and as though Missouri had aban-
doned her little ones Ia the coun-
try where. after all, her best little
men and women must be located. If
the interior of these school houses
we're no better than the exterior,
woe to even the few little men and
women who are even so fortunate as
to say that they go to school. If
Mr.. Race should see them he would
stand aghast, and feel proud of Red
wood county S care Of its little folks.
We had quite an interesting. time.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

49, . ANAeA~Ae> d;
Phe house committee on elections
has bills of every kind before it re-
garding the primary election law.
with the exception Of one pertaining
to the repeal of the whole affair.
1t is remarkable to note this fact
in the face of the other fact that a
large majority of the members seem
is be in favor OF the repeal of the
law. The leading advocates of re
peal seem to fear the introduction of
bill for repeal, and are waiting for
some other fellow to put in bill to
that effect.
The house committee on elections
will soon hold a joint meeting with
a similar committee from the senate,
at which time there will be gener-
al hearing on all primary bills be-
fore the two branches, and it is ex-
pected that the general meeting
will result IN something definite on
the all important proposition Of
holding primary elections in the
future.
Will the law be extended to the
State officers? 1t seems not. Can
didates for State Offices are opposed
to it. because it means. an expense
to each one far beyond the receipts
from the salaries of the offices. and
the committee on elections is bound
to consider the proposition as mere
ly enlarging an already pernicious
evil.
Will the present law be so amend
ed as to take candidates for con
gressional and judicial Offices from
the list? 1t is probable. This will
confine theslaw to county and legis-
lative Offices, where the feeling is,
another test should be given before
a serious thought is given to repeal.
The advocates of this plan say that
the congressional offices should new
err have been put under the law for
the reason that there should always
be congressional platform in touch
with the National platform. and
that under the present system there
is no way of promulgating such a
platform.
If this is the final outcome, and
the law is confined to the county
and legislative Offices, another
chance will thus be given to the
voters to demonstrate that they
will vote honestly at the primaries,
for the best men, and that Republi-
cans will attend to their nomina-
tions. and SO on down the list. Will
that evil ever be corrected by the
primary system? That is the ques-
ton.

The Lumber Jacks Song.

Jacks Song clipped from some paper
which carries department of Poems

At the same time it speaks of 1.-The
Norsk Nightingale, as Sewer Sewerson
was known to those who loved him best,
as an author who never wrote anything
more soulful than the dainty lyric
whose name has been given.
The reference to "Olaf' reminds the
JOURNAL that the true name of THE
Eckhart Philosopher, hitherto a
mystery, has been cleared up, and it will
surprise many to learn that it is Olaf
OlafsOn.
In literal English, however, this is
Olafson Olaf, the latter being the sir
name, which in Swedish is stated first.
For instance, Pink Whiskers is
Whiskerson Pinkmister in the Swedish
idom, and so on.
Sewer Sewerson's poem, alluded to,
appears on first page.

Shall the system of probation be abolish

Much was said positively and mega

After all, great deal depends upon
the individuality of the gentleman who
is to be probated. If he helps row the
boat he should be retained; if he crooks"
it he should be thrown out. Probation,
therefore, should be informal rather
than formal; lifelong rather than semi
