An Island Raised Six Inches.

The news dispatches tell US that as
result OF some recent earthquake shocks,
the island OF Guam has been raised six
inches above it's former level. That's
all right and proper. The United States
took those islands to raise, and now ma.
ture is cooperating by giving Guam a
boost. Nothing but an earthquake
will elevate some of those people: as

All of the Same RELIGION,

When the last Charles Godfrey LIE
land was editing in New York the
Knickerbocker Magazine he gave 6
weekly reception that was popula,
among literary people.
There arose at one of these recep
lions a noisy argument about religion
To quiet them Mr.. Leland cried out II
a voice loud enough to be heard above
all:
Intelligent persons are all of thu
same religion"
A lull ensued. Someone said:
"What religion is that?"
"That," answered Mr.. Leland, eli
what Intelligent persons never tell."-

THE SPIRIT OF 70.
An Appeal to the Patriotism of the Peo
pie for an Old-Time Fourth.

Editor of the UNION:-What is to be
done with the Fourth of July. 1t was
once the most important holiday in
America, but in many places for the
past few years it has become but dim
recollection. Has it become weak and
feeble from old age, and is it going to
die of old age and be buried and for
gotten like an old man? Years ago
about this time the people all through
the country were talking and planning
for the observance of this, the greatest
of the nations holidays. Now we hear
very little said about the day. Doubt
less Memorial day coming SO near and
just before the Fourth detracts some
from the interest we would otherwise
take in the celebration of the day, but
shall we forget the day of the nations
birth and freedom, the day that gave
us starting point as a nation and
helped us in the race until we have
taken our stand at the head of all the
nations of the world in civilization and
liberty, both civil and religious.
Let us think this matter over and
may patriotism burn anew in our
hearts and bring us together to spend
the time as in the good old days oil
yore. We ought to teach the rising
generation what it has cost to give them
the liberty and the blessings of indie.
pendence and civilization.
While we should by all means OBJ.
serve Memorial day and honor and re.
spect the dead and the living soldiers
of the great Civil war who gave their
lives to preSt'. the Union, let US not
forget the dav hat commentaries the
declara,jul OF the nations independ.
ence. Let VIC rot become Indifferent tc
the sacrifice Lade to establish the
nOblest government in the world.

his factory at Foreston. The business

the matter. Negotiations are about

FOR THE FAMINE SUFFERERS.

l.. S. Briggs Makes Report of the Total
Amount Collected by Him In Mile Laos
County.
Clerk of Court Briggs who was ap-
pointed by the governor to solicit SUBJ
scriptions in Mile Laos county for the
famine sufferers of Sweden and Norway
has made his final report and RENTED
the sum of S368.05 to N. O. Werner of
the Swedish-American bank at Minne-
apOlis who is treasurer of the State
relief committee. In the township and
village of Milaca there were no returns
made to Mr.. Briggs as funds for the
famine sufferers had been raised in
those places by the churches and it was
not to be expected that the people of
Milaca and the township as we'll would
respond to a second request as they
made very generous contributions at
the time the churches made the appeal
for aid. No returns were received
from Onamia, and it is to be presumed
that the people of that section made
donations through other sources. One
of the local solicitors whom Mr.. Briggs
appointed for Onamia moved away soon
after his appointment and on this &C
count perhaps little work was done
towards soliciting aid. The following
are the amounts sent in to Mr.. Briggs
by those who were appointed to solicit
funds:
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1903-06-11

10 this amount must be added the
sum of $63.l5 which was taken in at the
benefit performance given by the
Anoka home-talent troupe. This made
a grand total Of $368.O5, not bad con-
tribution for Mile Laos county to make.
The following receipt from N. O..
Werner for the amount RENTED by
Mr.. Briggs shows the disposition made
of the funds collected.

in 1.-THE Auctioneer'' in a Western
city, where the part of Levi attracted
a group of giggling seminary girls
They admired his acting, and scrib
bling their names on a program, wrote
underneath:

When the message was delivered
Warfield was taking off his "makeup.'
He seized a red pencil, one of hi
"props" in the auction scene, anc
dashed off the following reply on the
same program:

ent A. P. Ritchie, of the Milaca public
schools, notified the training school
authorities at Red Wing some time ago
that the boy refused to attend school
here and was otherwise incorrigible.
The authorities telegraphed Constable
Campbell to take charge of the boy,
and said they would send an officer
after him. On being notified that the
Randall boy was here awaiting COM
mitment papers to the training school
they sent word to hold the Swanson
boy and bring both Of them at the same
time. Owing to an error in the COM
mitment papers for the Randall boy
they were returned unsigned by Judge
Searle for correction, and the process
OF getting matters straightforward out
caused considerable delay in sending
the boys away. They were confined in
the city lookup until Tuesday morning
when Constable Campbell took them to
Red Wing. The Swanson boy was
paroled from the school last summer,
and had one of his hands sawed off soon
afterward while employed in the Foley
Bean mill here. Young Randall goes
where he cannot indulge his penchant
for dynamiting trains, and other dam
gerOus amusements. -Milaca Times.
