The most curious specimens of vege-

land Islands, says the Chicago Post
Those islands are among the most
cherries spots in the world, being con-

wind. In such a climate it is impossi-

A simple and valuable remedy for re-
storing worn-out horses is reported by
German naturalist, Herr Martin. He
says he bought a horse which was
then almost a skeleton, and so weak it
could hardly walk" and began giving
it coffee, sometimes in the form of in
fusions of the roasted beans, and at
other times ground and mixed with
honey. Soon the horse began to i'm
prove, and after few months Herr
Martin had the opportunity to sell it for
$3.50. The German says he has brought
round by the same treatment many
horses which had been overworked or
were run down, with loss of strength
and appetite.

immigration, providing for the exclu-
sion Of all persons over fifteen years of
age, and physically capable of reading,
who cannot read the English language

the same as the bill on the same SUBJ

policy relating to immigration. Presi-

The outflow Of cotton is the cause OF
the increase of our exports in October
to s160, S70,O05, against $144, 1927, 42S in oc-
tober, 1902. Cotton to the value Of $780,
2S3,412 was exported, against 42,1S3, Ill
In October OF last year. The present
high price accounts in part for the lar
ger figures. Breadstuffs fell off nearly
s3,000,000. Imports, instead Of expand
ing, show a decrease to sS1,931,005,
against $S7,424,o7O in October, 1902. The
decrease is due in part, it is believed,
to the diminished Importation of ma
terials used in industries which have
restricted their operations, and in part
to the impaired ability of many SON
sumers to buy imported luxuries.

TO ANOKA NEXT YEAR.
Franchise for a Rural Trolley Line
Is Granted to DR..
Straub.
The, Projected System Includes Lines
to. Anoka and to Shak-

TO Dr. c. o. Straub and his associates
franchises were granted this morning to
construct single track trolley lines to An
Okla, via. Robtnsdale Osseo and Champlin
and to Shakopee via Lyndale Avenue and
Richfield. An acceptance must be made
within thirty days, work commenced by
Nay /, 1904, and the lines completed with
in "a months.
The county commissioners have consid-
cred these franchises for several weeks,
and the final action, favoring Mr.. Straub
and against Messrs. Hanke and Forster,
the other bidders, was not unanimous.
Chairman F. E.. Barney voted in the neg
alive.
If the franchise is accepted by DR..
Straub, laterials will be secured this fall,
and as early next spring as practicable,
construction on the Anoka line will be
commenced Power will be generated
probably at Anoka, and the promoters
say they will be ready to carry passen-
gers and light freight In year from now
Tho for the present Anoka is the OBJ
iectAve point Of the Osseo line, the orogin-
al plan contemplates an extension thru
to St. Cloud and possibly farther. Pres
ent plans do not provide for any line to
Minnehonka, as the Greet Railway com
pany has already made surveys and ex-
poets to build there as soon as power is
available. .a-..

in Minneapolis
1T is just what al have long thought and
would nave been glad to have said so well, -
after reading President Roosevelts letter tC
Governor Durbin, of Indiana, anent the lat
ter treatment OF the Evansville mob While
u II u.s. perhaps, unfortunate to express it in
just his way 1t appeared to me that some
good can come out of evil. Naturally we
deprecate the shocking crimes, committed by
mobs in punishment for equally shocking
crimes. But mob rule must and will have
the effect of bringing to the attention of leg
islative bodies the urgent necessity for leg
islation which will discourage mob vengeance
and which will make more certain the punish
ment OF criminals thru the operation of the
law. s5.S-*. $685. *t4*s + 81 IL s -..s--
Naturally people become incensed when
they see the criminal escape thru the cooling
OF the ardor for justice and the interview
tion of some legal technicalty. 1t is my
PEI pellet that the presidents letter will have
the double effect of discouraging mob vio-
lence in the immediate future and of en-
couraging laws which will make punishment
more sure both for the original offenders and
for ,, those who take part in lynchings.
William r. Morris, one of the prominent
colored attorneys Of Minneapolis, said:
''This letter from President Roosevelt ex-
presses in excellent form the opinion of the
best colored opinion north and south. Only
last year, in commenting upon the crineG Of
colored man in Pierce City, Mo-, and the
awful vengeance visited upon him and his
fellows by a mob of white citizens, the Mis-
souri, grand lodge of Masons, colored, said :
We deplore with all the horror of our
soul the unspeakably cruel murder Of this
young woman, and therefore, as lava abiding
citizens, offer our services and our lives, if
necessary, in running down and putting into
the strong arms Of the law any person guilty
of crime against woman We denounce the
cowardly and barbaric treatment of the COL
Ored citizens Of, Pierce City, Mo-, as a foul
blot upon the fair escutscheon of our state,
and as disgrace to our enlightened and
Christian civilization 3 r., at ....E
'That puts in a nutshell the sentiment of
representative colored men-a sentiment find
ing expression in almost every gathering Of
colored men, north and ssouth. We; deplore
! the punishment by mob violence Of negroes,
not because condone their crimes or have
any sympathy with them, but we see where
mob violence is going to lead this country.
Just as President Roosevelt sees it."

Criticism From Hayes g. Sons.

the past, did not present a proposal this

communication inquiring If the rate of

the following voluntary explanation for
the trouble in Wall street:
I'VE believe that your section of the
country contributed not little toward
the prevailing slump in prices, the agita-
ton and decision in the Northern Securi-
ties case being, in our opinion, largely
responsible for the present condition OF
the market. @ #.-

DISCUSSED THE BIENNIAL
Club Women Attend Reception at
d. Commercial Club to Meet
Mrs. Moore.

A fair representation of the leading wo-
mans clubs was present this morning at
the Commercial club at the reception ten
dered by the federated club women and
the Comemrcial club to Mrs. Philip N.
Moore of st. Louis, president of the Mis-
souri, federation Of Women's clubs and
chairman of the local biennial board to
arrange for the next biennial Of the gen
eral federation of women's clubs, in St.
Louisfi May 49, 1904. "~ ~

La Penotiere, Mrs. Moore, Miss Moore
and the officer Of the state federation who
were present, Mrs. A. T. Bigelow of Mer-
riam Park Mrs. w. w. Sykes and Mrs.
G. B. Elliott. The guests included lead
ing club women Of the city and Of St.
Paul. Frappe was served by Misses An
derson and Olberg. .Es r.
Mrs. Moore said that St. Louis owed the
opportunity of entertaining the biennial
wholly to Minnesota, as the idea of a
federation memorial and celebration OF
the purchase came from Minnesota. AS
the general fedora ton planned to take
charge of a memorial celebration at st.
Louis it was thought wise to combine
it with the biennial meeting Otherwise
Minneapolis would have been chosen as
the meeting place. 49,
One day of the eight days meeting will
be spent in memorial celebrate on the
exposition grounds There will be ad-
dresses from representatives of the Pur-
chase states a response from Mrs. Deni-
son, president Of the general federation,
and a patriotic address by some great
orator. The memorial will be a bronze
tablet to be placed in the art building, a
permanent structure. ..
A luncheon and reception by the lady
board of managers will be features of the
exposition day. There will be two after
noon affairs with carriage drive between
There will be but one series of meetings
and no division of interest and attention
Mrs. Moore paid a high tribute to the
Minneapolis federation and it's presidents
She referred to Miss Margaret Evans, as
one of the federation saints, spoke Of the
deep impression made by Mrs. L. P. VIII
liams in her leadership in the reorganiza-
ton struggles and praised the sound, log
ical advice Of Mrs. La Penotiere.
Mrs. La Penotiere, in turn, referred
gracefully to the admirable points of the
Missouri federation. She also called the
attention Of the women to the nationa
forestry meeting in Minneapolis this
month and requested their attendance.
Following the reception, a few of the
club women remained at the club to lunch
with Mrs. Moore and Mrs. La Penotiere.

HOW TO SPELL "MUSKIE"
J. G. Pond Insists That Mascallonge
Is the Correct Orthography
Its Derivation.

Considerable discussion has been
aroused over the spelling Of the word
"mascallonge," more commonly written
muskellonge. Recently a papier mache
model of large fish Of this species was
displayed in the window of the Wiscon-
sin Central city ticket office, and labeled
"mascallonge." The spelling was criti-
ciZed and Varney Russell, city ticket
agent, supports his photography by the
following extract from a letter from j.
G. Pond, general passenger agent of the
road: .-t -a T. Il
'There has always been and always will
be considerable doubt as to not only the
spelling of the name but it's derivation.
We have looked into the matter pretty
thoroly and after receiving advice from
one who is considered quite an authority,
we decided that mascallonge was as close
to being right as anything, as it evidently
derived from the French 'masque,' mean
ing face. and long, meaning long. The
Standard dictionary Of recent issue gives
the following names as applicable to the
fish: Maskinonge, masscallonge, muskal-
longe, muskellonge and muskelunge. We
discarded No. 1 because it is not used at
all In this section, and as No. 2 is second
choice and the one we selected, we would
seem to have pretty good authority for its
use" sH@ s.
Why not dodge the question and say
"muskie?'' Z So ~ >- s...-H :" ~
