When Slowcure Got Cav.

AS Slowcure was walking with his
wife through West Twelfth street a
baseball bounded from the asphalt
pavement and narrowly missed a
plant Mrs. Slowcure was carrying
home, says the New York Press.
"The little imps," she exclaimed an
grily. They deserve good whip
ping"
"Nonscnse," rctQrtcd Slowcure. 81
used to do the same thing myself.
Boys must play ball somewhere"
"Throw it tip mister" shouted a
lad half block away
Slowcure picked up the ball and
walked to the middle Of the street
with it. He swung his arms and
facetiously went through the motions
Of a league pitcher.
Come away from there" pleaded
Mrs. Slowcure. "Roll that ball back
without making an idiot of yourself"
LET her come. mister" yelled the
boy.
One more sweep of the arm and
Slowcure let go the ball There was
crash of glass. The ball disappear
ed inside the front window Of a
boarding house and the boys disap-
peared around the corner.
THAT will cost you $3I," shouted
an irate woman, coming TO the front
door. 81 was watching you from the
window. AS if it isn't bad enough
to have the boys playing in the
streets, without a great, big lummux
like you encouraging them. Your
wife ought to keep you at home"

HERD OF GOATS.
Imported From South Africa is Val
ued at $4,000.

uSN dl p4O,OOO.
One hundred and forty-nine Of the
highest priced goats that were ever
brought to this country arrived from
South Africa recently by the British
steamship Susquchanna. They arc Of
the Angora breed and a.e said to have
cost about $4o,ooo
The goats were purchased in Cape
Colony by Mr.. G. A. Early, an Ameri-
can, who had visited South Africa be
tore the outbreak Of the Boer war. 1t
was due to the fact that he had al
ready contracted for them that he
was allowed to take them out Of the
country, as directly after the war the
British government placed an cmbar-
go on the expectation Of live stock
MIR. Early is making the experiment
OF demonstrating these valuable ami
mails in this country, and has sccur-
ed place in New Jersey, where the
goats will be taken after they have
undergone the customary quarantine
III the state quarantine station for an
'mals at Lyndhurst. l.. I. The goats
VIII be removed today from the
steamship, which is anchored off
Staplcton.
This breed Of goats was introduced
into Cape Colony about DO years ago.
They throvc there and largely propa-
gated, the climate being specially we'll
suitcd to the perfect development Of
the wool. The wool, or mohair, as it
is technically termed, is long, fine and
heavy, and covers the whole body and
part Of the legs with close-matted
ringlcts of particularly soft and silky
texture
The importer believes that the ami
mails will thrive as well here as in
South Africa, and, as the breed is pro-
life, the kids grow fast and arrv-
ing early at maturity, he is confident
of the outcome Of his experiment to
domcsticatc them here The flesh OF
the Angora is said to be better eating
than that Of any other breed, and in
Turkey, its native country. is prefer

wool, however. which renders it so

Miss Anna sMcManus, teacher in
Dist. No. 81, town of Green Lake, in
forms US that the pupils of that school
have by a unanimous vote decided to
name their school the Washington
School. We are glad to note this step
in the direction of giving more in
dividuality to the country school. A
number may be sufficient for legal
requirements, but it is not satisfac-
tory to those who have to use it. In
fact, in most instances the school
generally gets the name of some person
who happens to live near it. It would
be far better to commemorate the
name of some prominent American "a
the pupils in the school referred to
have done. Undoubtedly those pupils
will get an added interest in the Father
OF His Country and will study more
closely his carer and great character,
and he will become their model of a
man. We hope the teachers in the
county will take up the movement
started by the progressive teacher in
Washington school, Green Lake, and
give the pupils in every district an
incentive to study the career of some
great American statesman or author.

SuPT. DoBBYM'S REPORT.

The annual report of County Super
intendent Dobbyn, published elsewhere
in this issue, IL document that de-
serves the careful perusal of every
person interested in our schools-and
that ought to include every man and
woman in the county. The detailed
statement of the finances of the schools
is interesting, as showing the amount
of money devoted to giving the rising
generation chance to acquire the ru-
diments of an education. But the sug-
gestions of the superintendent are of
far more Importance, because We are
all more interested in what we can and
should do than In what we have done.
We are spending so much money for
schools that we should be anxious to
get the greatest, possible benefit out of
the amount invested. Some districts
will pay thirty dollars per month to
get somebody to merely "keep school,"
when they might, by Investing ten dol
lars more, get one that teaches school.
The thirty dollars are wasted; the forty
dollars would bring results. They
would thus get the teaching for only
ten dollars per month. But even the
best teacher cannot do her best with
scholars suffering from headache from
close air, frozen from being too Tar
from the old box stove or scorched
from being too near it. Nor can she
get the best results without all the
necessary books in the hands OF every
pupil. Only under the free text book
system will the supply Of books be adj
equate. Thus by negleoting any OF
these essentials the district is really
throwing away money, while itwould
be saving money by spending: some
more to get what is needed in order 70
secure results from what will be apent
anyway. Supt. Dobbyn has the terse
and pointed style Of expression which
marks the man Of decision and action.

When David Davis of Illinois was
twitted with being "on the fence" he
replied: eyes, sir, I am, and I
propose to stay there as long as it is
so confoundedly muddy on both
Sides" -
That is about the position in which a
populist finds himself these days. He
is assured by politicians of both the
old parties that'the peoples party is
deader than the proverbial doornail,
and Is given an earnest invitation: to
join one or the other of the old parties
with the assurance that that particular
party ts the only one that can &C
complish any Of the reforms needed.
: The, democrats, being most In need

the only salvation for the country
lies in the ascendancy Of the demo-
cratic party. Bryan thunders against

Good Advice to Faem0rs.

J. R. Boggs sounds note of warn
ing to potato growers, and it is worth
needing. BE said: '"This year the
utmost caution should be exercised by
farmers who desire to get the ton
prices for potatoes. From every
potato producing district advices show
rot and blight as general condition,
and all farmers when they dig the
crop should endeavor to keep the
stock matured on high ground
separate from that grown in low
ground. The potato from the low
places will rot, and if mixed with
good potatoes all will become infected.
The farmers should be cautious. .

the TRAGEDY At FOOT Lake.


Three homes at Willmar are the
scenes of the heart-rendipg grief Incl
dent to the untimely death of the first
born of each family. Three promis-
ing youths, the pride of their parents
and the fayorites of their associates,
are gone from the scenes they trod
with bouyant steps but few hours
ago. 1t is difficult to realize anything
but the ruthlessness of such destruc-
ton of young lives and the blotting
out OF hopes and aspirations that have
grown in the hearts of fond parents.
After the years of care and nurture
of childhood came the days when the
solicitous parental eye detected the
signs of approaching manhood. Eve
ry year that passed gave renewed
promise for brilliant futures. In one
fatal hour it is all changed and NOR.
tai ken is q blank. Yet mere chance
does not rule the destinies of man.
Life is real, and we are placed here
for purpose.
This is one of the most distressing
drowning accidents that have occurred
in Kandiyohi county. One similar in
circumstance to this last one occurred
at Solomon Lake Nov. 8, 1891, when
Marinus and Jens Olson and Richard
Stat, aged 7, ID and II years respec-
lively, with two companions who were
left to tell the tale, attempted to chase
wounded wild goose across the lake
on windy day. Besides two or three
distressing drownings through the
ice, Foot Lake has before claimed the
life of Horton Sperry, aged - years,
who attempted to navigate on q car
door and was carried out by the wind
one bright day in June, 1889.
1t is very easy to charge careless
ness and indulge in speculations as to
how accidents might have been avoid
ed, but the fact remains that accidents
will happen to the most careful. A
few years ago a man who had accom-.
panied Nordenskjold in his perilous
trip through polar seas was drowned
in the shallow waters of Lake Nevada
(Long Lake) in this county. It is we'll
to exercise caution and profit by the
sad experiences of others, but let no
one deceive himself or herself with the
idea of being immune to accidents.
The sorely afflicted families have the
deepest sympathy of the community in
these days of trial, the depth of the Bit
terness and sorrow of which none
are competent to Judge but such as
have themselves been through the VAL
ley of the Shadow of Death.
