only a rough track on each side OF

is only one wagon track, when, if

LUVERNE LIBRARY BUILDING.

|
Luverne has selected plans for
the Carnegie Library which is to be
erected at that place; nothing pre-
venting they expect to have the
foundation put in this fall. The
Herald, Luvrene, gives the follow
ing description of the plan of the
building. 1.-The extreme outside d.
mension of the building are IS Sc.
The plans do not call for square
building as the figures would seem
to imply; for the purpose of provid-
ing ample light the northwest corn
ers will be in the form Of three
sides Of an octagon. Five feet Of
the 10 foot basement will be above
grade. Luverne stone will be en-
ployed in the construction of the
building for eight and one half feet
and the balance of the material will
be of sand mold brick with TRIM
mings of Kasota pink sand stone.
Stone steps will lead through a tiled
area into vestibule 10 K IL. The
basement is reached by stairs from
the right of the vestibule. At the
end of a corridor IL K 20 is the deliv
cry counter, which separates the cor
ridor from q stock room 26 K rs. To
the left of the corridor is the read
ing room, 81 80, and to the right
of the corridor are the librarian g
room, 10 < Is, with toilet room an
mex, and the reference roon,1 6 K 81.
Seats are provided in the north part
of the corridoc. The reading room
is lighted by three triple windows.
A cloak room is annexed to the read
ing room.
The capacity of the stock room is
estimated at at II, 900 volumes.
The walls of the building will be
plastered and the wood work will be
of red oak.
Two toilet rooms and the boiler
room will be located in the base
ment, although the greater part
of the basement will remain un-
finished until use is found for the
space. The direct and indirect sys-
tenn of heating will be employed.
Four columns adorn the entrance
to the building. These are each two
feet in diamelnter and sixteen feet
high.
It is not improbable that changes
will be made in the plans before the
contract is let. Contractors express
doubt that the building can be erect
ed for the amount available. !

Fix The Roads.
worthinston Losing Business Be-
cause Of Bad Roads.

Again the road problem has come
up. A man who does his trading
in Worthintgon was seen coming
from Round Lake with a load Of
lumber the other day and on being
asked why it was, said: "The roads
into Worthington are 80 bad l can
not haul load of lumber out Of
there without getting stuck in the
mud or breaking my wagon" He
referred to the road that is being
built up by using it for a dumping
ground. This part of the entrance
to our city is disgrace to any civil
lied community. It is an insult to
the country people to haul the rub
Dish and offal to tho side of one of
the main travelled roads over which
they must pass. Suppose one OF our
streets was being built up from the
material that is hauled to the south
side OF the Omaha track, how long
would such be allowed to continued
The offensive ma tier does not ex-
tend very far but the aroma arising
from the location is enough to
drive those who are not obliged to
come here, to some other town.
Another farmer who CONES to
town over the cemetery road was
asked why he did not bring some
hay to market. He replied 1.-The
road is so bad between the ceme-
terry and town I cannot haul a
load without breaking my wagon
or getting stuck and have to unload
to get out" Now what is going to
he done about these conditions. The
weather has certainly been unfavor-
able to good roads, but it was not
necessary to make a dumping
gro und of the highway. A man
with a shovel coud do a good deal
towards fixing the holes and ruts,
if one was put to work. Two men,
team and scraper or harrow could
do more; the expense would be moth
ing compared with the business we
are losing and the reputation for
bad roads that is being built up. A

IdE MO0<4U1IO V1ND1CAIGD.
The injustice of cruisades based
upon prejudice is illustrated in the
news which comes from Wheeling,
W. Va.
There, as in other parts of the
country, unreasoning antipathy to-
ward the mosquito has recently led
to an organized movement looking
to the determination of the insect.
The excuse for the warfare has
been, of course, the plea that while
the mosquito has innumrable faults
it is not known to be possessed of a
single redeeming quality Its sting is
poisonous, and as a disease distribu-
ter it has few equals and no super
iors.
Every mean thing that could be
Imagined has been thought and said
about the mosquito. And yet the
news from Wheeling goes to prove
once moro that when humanity per-
mits itself to be governed and guild
ed by mere animosity it is quite cer-
tain to arrive blind]y and ignorantly
at erroneous conclusions.
At any rate, the credit of prevent
ing horrible tragedy belongs to a
Wheeling mosquito. A railroad off,
cial named JIM. Crum Of that place
was entertaining a party Of six
friends from the country. Late on
Wednesday night he was awakened
by the bite of a mosquito, and az he
awoke he smelled gas. A little later
he found his Elk country friends al
most suffocated in their beds. Each
of them had blown ont the gas in
his room. That is to say that the
six country friends had Individually
blown out the gas, as the six jets
were turned on at full force. If the
mosquito had not attacked Mr..
Crum his six country friends would
have been 4sphyxiated.
This should prove a lesson to
those who are persuing the mosqito
with relentless vindictiveness. Coun-
try frien1s who do not read the
newspapers are likely to visit peo-
pie who are slaves to unreasonlng
prejudice against the mosquito. Not
every home Is equipped with an cleo
trio light plant The opportunity for
blowing out the gas were never
more numerous than they are at
present. Until some scheme is de-
vised whereby the country friend is
deprived of breath while in the act
of approaching the gas jet with the
purpose Of blowing it out, the best
thing the enemies Of the mosquito
can do is to let that useful insect
alone.-Milwaukee Evening Wis

man tells the Minneapolis journal
that the potato crop is not SO bad as

NOTWITHSTANDING Gov. LaFollette's
early campaign for denomination, the
stalwart press of the state is even more
forehanded in its attempt to head him
Oft. The punishment visited upon these
recalcitrants about year ago, while
thoroughly effective then, seems to be
losing its force and it is up to the Gov
ernor to respect the fiogellation process
in order to keep this inconsequential
but belicose opposition in a reasonable
state of submission. Those who know
the Governor well, are of the opinion
that after the next republican state con-
vention his eXcellency can use a dairy
map as an illustration to represent the
places where the bones of former belig-
Grant stalwartS will then be bleaching
in the sun. And why should these in
cendiaries be permitted to disturb the
peace lad quiet of our Governor 1t
only results in diverting his mind from
the weightier questions which at all
times are pressing upon him for consid-
GRAFTON. If he errs in his conclusions
with reference to comparative freight
rates, it is because his mind has become
distracted for the time being by the
assaults of some Stalwart newspaper
editor. If his eXcellency has failed to
make two game wardens grow where
hitherto there has been but one, it is
not a mistake of the heart, but his
official functions have become temper
arily clogged up with the carcass of
some brave but iudiscreet stalwart who
ventured too near the buzz-saw when
II was n motion. If our chief eXecu-
tive is made to appear as discouraging
emigration into this state it is only be-
cause the tranquility of the executive
mind has been disturbed by brief
submitted by the stalwart organization
tending to prove that a man who was
twice elected to the office of Governor
by overwhelming majorities and in
spite of serious OBJECTIONS in his own
party, is, for that reason, not an dudild-
bic candidate for another term There
would seem to be political necessity
for the Immediate subiugation of the
stalwart. The business interests of the
state demand his suppression. The
spirit of our institutions cries out
against the attacks of this enemy of
majority rule. Away with him

HERBERT MANSON. of Wausau. one

HERBERT MANSON, of Wausau, one of
the younger politicians of northern
Wisconsin, was at the Plankinton, yes
terday. II do not believe that Neal
Brown of our city has any desire to ac-
cept the nomination for governor on
our ticket" said he. Il can say this,
however, if he is candidate, there
will be no question whatever about the
delegations from our territory being in
his favor.
''In my opinion, if Brown has any
political desires, whatever, they would
best be gratiied by making him the
head of the Wisconsin delegation to the
next democratic national convention.
The fact that he received the votes of
the democratic members in the last
legislature for Uuited States senator,
is accepted as badge of leadership in
this state, and there is no reason why
he should not be made leader in fact by
giving him the place at the head of the
delegation.
He was practically the only big
man of the party who exerted himself
in behalf of Mayor Rose and this fact
will give him support among The Rose
men of Milwaukee and the state.
Brown should be strong figure in the
national convention and ought to head
the delegation. "-Milwauke Sentinel.
