prisoner save when taking exercise
should be kept in his separate cell.
M TN one instance in this state a boy
Of seventeen was sentenced to the
county jail for thirty days for stealing
a pair Of shoes. When he was taken
there his pitiful sobs told his mental
anguish. He was placed with a con-
firmed criminal of mature years. The
man at once commenced to. influence
the boy and intWo days achange could
be seen. AT the end Of thirty days that
boy walked out of that jail fully de-
termined upon a criminal life. Both
teacher and pupil are now in State
Prison. That boy could have been
saved if properly cared for,but instead
of correcting him his jail sentence
him a hardened criminal. A great
wrong was done that boy and society
must suffer for it..

Advice Of a Suicide.

No Young man with character I'M
formed has the rightconception the life
he will De compelled to lead after he
has cast himself from the influences OF
home 1t is seldom that men give way
To despair SO completely as the one
whose words are printed below, but it
is "a sad commentary on the govern
nasn1 OF American families that many
lives are wrecked because the parents
Of boys are too prone to letthem ''sow
their wild oats" as they call It. Here
IS a single instance of an unfortunate
whose unhappy ending gives emphasis
TO his words. He committed suicide by
shooting himself.
ITO All Youths: am going to give
you little advice. I am "a years old,
left school when I was Is; had an
excellent mother and father who loved
me. I secured a position in a bank,
began to 60 out nights and there is the
foundation and the starting point OF
all my blasted hopes. Boys, do not
go out nights or frequent saloons.
"Always choose your company.
Guard your honor, as it is priceless.
Make confdant ofmOther If circum-
stances permit, stay by the old home,
be it ever so humble, for it is far
superior to the grandest hotel life.
Yes, boys. I have stopped at the best
of them from New York to San Fran
cisco, and even in parts of Europe,
but the surroundings of a happy home
will make you susceptible to the best
influences that can be brought to bear
on your lives"

HOSPITALITY is PRAISED.
Northwestern Druggist Gives Account
Of Pharmaceutical Convention,

Eleven pages of the June number OF
the Northwestern Druggist, published
in Minneapolis and the official orc an

Of the nineteenth annual convention,
held here last month. The convention
was covered by Geo. A. Welch, news
editor Of the magazine, in person, and
in his article Mr.. Welch makes it a
point to praise the hospitality of New
Ulm. His opening paragraph is very
eulogistic, and is as follows:
"In the old yet modern city of New
Ulm was held the nineteenth annual
meeting of the Minnesota Pharma-
ceutical Association, June Is, II and
Is. The city welcomed it's visitors with
the true whole-hearted German spirit,
and each citizen seemed to regard him
self as an>individual committee of one
to see that the visitor was treated to
the best the city had. The city is a
beautiful one and was at it's best. The
weather was perfect and everything
contributed to make the convention the

against any Of the colonies and does
not admit their products at the same
terms now accorded the world by Great
Britain.
Until the colonies could feed the
United Kingdom this would be a tax on
the British consumer, but the stimula-
tion which this would be to the grain
growers and stock raisers of the colon
les has been lost sight of by members
of Congress, who have brushed the
subject aside, just as they brushed
aside Mr.. McKinley's speech, Mr..
Mckinley being dead. It has been
brought home to the men who repre-
sent the great grain and cattle growing
States of the West by the news which
has been coming out Of Canada about
the great increase of wheat acreage of
Western Canada, where the rush of
settlers promises to completely change
the wheat map of the continent in a
few years, and by the declaration made
in London that a great movement has
set in New Zealand to take away from
the Beef Trust of the United States
the practical monopoly it now enjoys
of supplying England, Ireland and
Scotland with beef, mutton and pork.
That few years may see the loss to
the United States of it's enormous trade
in agricultural products unless some
thing is done to meet contingencies is
regarded by many Representatives in
Congress as not an empty fear. With
Mr.. Chamberlain's threathanging over
the farmers of the West it is thought
here very little argument would be
necessary to create in the next Con-
gress powerful sentiment in favor of
reciprocity with Canada.
What the American has at stake in
the question is shown by the figures of
exports of food and agricultural pro-
ducts to the United Kingdom for the
ten months of this fiscal year ended on
Apr. 80. The items given include only
those classes of imports which can be
duplicated in the British colonies, and
no item is given when the exports from
this country for that period did not

The matter of building a new County
Jail has again come up in a way that
will scarcely permit of further delay.
The old shell has been repeatedly con-
demned by almost every body of men
who have authority to condemn public
buildings, but thefnances ofthe county
have not been in shape to warrant the
increased expense of a new structure,
however, something must be done soon
to provide not only for the health Of
those confined but for security. Pris-
oners confined in the present unhealthy
Jail have cause Tor damage should it
transpire that they were injured by
incarceration. The county needs a new
Jail and needs it badly and the recon.
mendation of the recent grand jury
should be followed up by immediate
action.

FIX COMP PROMISE RATE {.
Freight Rates Upon Coal and Lum-
Der Are Reduced
Commissioners and Railroad
Reach Understanding.
Haul From Duluth to st. Paul Not
Included in Schedule.

Reduced freight rates upon coal and
lumber have resulted from the investi-
cation cond ucted by the members Of
the state railroad and warehouse com
mission. Friday afternoons after two
days session, the commissioners and
representatives of the various lines
Of railway reached an understanding
and settled their controversy amicably.
Their settlement, which is virtually a
compromise, lowers lumber rates Is
per cent and coal tariffs 10 per cent.
The investigation by the commission
into the rates was inaugurated by a
complaint from a dealer in Litchfeld,
who thought that the rates to thatpoint
were excessive, and the matter Of a
general re-adjustment has been under
discussion since January. Several
hearing have been held and last week
the commission and the traffic officials
were in session Thursday and Friday.
hen the arrangement had been
made, every one of the traffic men and
the commissioners expressed himself
as delighted and all were pleased that
the matter was ended. The commits
sioners were of the unanimous opinion
that a substantial reduction was
necess airy, but knew that if they tried
to effect too much at this time that the
matter would be tied up in the courts
in endless litigation and preferred to
bring about change for the better at
the present time rather than take the
chance Of trying for too much and per-
haps obtaining nothing.
The agreement reached calls for a
reduction on lumber, beginning at
about forty miles and grading up to
seventy-five miles, where the reduction
shall be Is per cent to all points be-
You'd, and practically a reduction of
10 per cent on hard coal for all
distances up to 300 miles.
Soft coal is not to take any higher
rate than hard coal. This rate will not
apply, however, between the Twin Cities
and Duluth, where the commission finds
there now exists as low, or a lower,
rate than between any two points in the
country similarly situated. At a few
points the reduction in the coal rates
will not apply, but in each of those
cases there is already a rate prev ailing
lower than $40 of a cent per ton per
mile.
Throughout the conference Judge
Mills has taken the position that the
rate fixed in the New Ulm case should
apply, he having been a member of the
commission at the time the rate was
made, but he says he thinks the decis-
ion arrived at by the commissioners is
wise, as it gives the people substan-
tial reduction at once instead of four
years law suit.
Locally the reduction will be about
l25 cents per ton. Under the ruling
in the New Ulm rate case, the tariff
from Duluth to this point was lowered
from $3.50 to Sl.95 per ton but last
spring the Minneapolis & St. Louis
restored the $3.50 rate. AS the North
ern Pacific is allowed s1.25 for the
haul from Duluth to Minneapolis,
there remains but S1.25 upon which
local consumers will receive the 10
per cent reduction.

Merchants and Advertising.

The Commercial Bulletin" one of
the best trade Journals, has taken up
the question of the cooperation of the
local papers and the advertisers, in an
endeavor to show wherein the mer-
chants fail to take advantage of the
opportunities offered them. While the
leading merchants of this city are alive
to their own interests and make a study
of the advertising business it is true
that some are not getting the benefit
they should from the money expended.
Space in any paper will not sell goods.
1t is the character of the advertising
matter that counts. Merchants make
a mistake in using large space for
spasmotic advertising; it is far better
to begin with a small space and in
crease it as the demand warrants than
to use half page once or twice year.
The people should be educated to read
an ad for what it has to offer, and they
will do it if the ad carries an intelligent
summary of what the store has to offer.
This has been demonstrated by several
merchants in this city who have found
that wise use of the local papers has
brought them substantial returns. This
has been more apparent since the ad
uent of the rural mail routes and the
consequent falling Off of the number O.
readers who visit the city.

success and a slavish following by the

of Congress, might cause the wiping
out of this trade, through the increase
in the wheat and cattle supply of Cana
da and the cattle supply Of the other
colonies Of great Britian.
It was probably this feeling pervad-
ing the councils of the republican party
in Ohio which constrained the platform
committee to abandon the sstand patti
programme and adopt a resolution
which declared for protection, but
threw the Dingley schedules to the
winds by saying that changing condi-
tons "and the possible benefits of reci-
procity may call for timely readjust-
ment of the schedules

general interest on the part of the
public in the work of the league dur
ing the past year the contest for
prizes has not been SO keen as during
the previous year. This was to be eX-
pected, as the prizes offered were not
so numerous and no seeds were given
out. In some of the wards there
have been few contestants. one ward
showing but single entry. In some
instances the original contestants
have lost interest and dropped out
or have produced nothing worthy of
special attention on the part of the
