WANT THE FIRST AWARD.
Minnesota Will Try For Gold Metal
at St. Louis Fair.
Intends Having Fine Educational
Exhibit at Exposition.
New Ulm Pupils Now at Work
Upon Series of Compositions.

Minnesota will make strong effort
to win the gold metal offered for the
best educational exhibit at the St.
Louis worlds fair. The board of
managers of the Minnesota school ex-
hibit, Superintendent of Public School
Instruction J. W. Olsen and Miss
Susanna E. Sirwell of Minneapolis,
superintendent of the Minnesota edu-
cational exhibit, entertain hopes of be-
ing able to land the coveted honors,
they reasoning that the past achieve
ments of the state schools in this di-
rection warrants them in their expecta-
tiOns.
At the Chicago worlds fair the Min
nesota display was admitted to be one
of the best educational exhibits and
that being planned for the st. Louis
show will be proportionately far bet
ter. One drawback is the lack of funds.
The Chicago educationalists had S10,-
900 to expend upon their exhibit but
only S., 900 has been allowed the schools
for the st. Louis fair. However, the
facilities at St. Louis will be superior,
as there will be an entire building,
''The Palace Of Education,' devoted
to the work of pupils.
AS an inducement to widespread ef-
fort for the success Of the Minnesota
educational exhibit, prizes have been
offered by the St. Louis worlds fair
commission in accordance with sug-
gestions made some months ago by a.
committee of the Minnesota Education
al association. The total of these
prizes will be $3.50. They will be given
exclusively to schools in towns and
villages of 5000 inhabitants and less,
that the schools of such communities
may secure the assistance. otherwise
assured to schools in larger cities
First and second premiums Of 500 and
$50, respectively, will be given for the
best rural school exhibit; for the best
semi-graded school exhibit; for the
best graded school exhibit; for the best
high school exhibit; and fora~the best
county school exhibit.
Speaking of the indications for a
good exhibit the Minneapolis Journal
says: "That suitable contributions of
school work will be secured by Miss
Sirwell is now assured. The country
schools especially have manifested a
lively interest in the success of the

Will Recover Use Of Limb.

Little Clara Epper of Brighton, the
child who had her leg so badly crushed
by having it caught in a buggy wheel
last spring, will be allowed to return
to her home today. When the accident
occurred the bones in the limb were
fairly splintered and it was thought
that amputation could not be avoided.
DR.. p. W. Bayley, the physician in
charge of the case, determined to try
to save the limb, however, and he has
succeeded admirably. The little girl
can now make her way about with the
aid of a crutch and will soon be able
to use the limb.

is A SURPLUS OF STOCK
Unusually Large Supply Forces Mar
ket Down.

Beef on the hoof is not bringing the
price it should on the eastern markets
and ranchmen say that they cannot
ship cattle at reasonable profit.
Chas. Stuebe of the Minnesota and
Dakota Cattle company, returned Sat-
urday evening from Chicago, where he
superintendent the sale of 1880 head,
and he says that the present prices
leave but a small margin for the cat
tlemen. Although the animals shipped
by the local men last week were in far
better condition than those sent to
Chicago at this time last year, they
did not begin to bring as good figures
and the owners were compelled to
pocket loss averaging $40 apiece.
Officers of the company had planned
to market about 2, 600 head this fall
but owing to the low price some 700 or
800 were cut out and returned to the
pasture. They are now congratulating
themselves that they did not include
this number with the consignment and
they say that no attempt will be made
to make another shipment until the
market improves. They have 1000
animals in fine condition but rather
than let them 60 at a sacrifice they
will pasture the cattle over winter.
The range is in the best of condition,
with plenty of water, and many ranch
men will follow their example.
Stock buyers attribute the low mar
ket to the unusually large supply of
cattle this year. Up to last week the
receipts at Chicago were greater by
nearly half million head than in
1902 and this has a tendency to de-
:ess the price. The packers COM
ine is also responsible in large
measure. They are forcing the price
of cattle down and that of beef up and
may be said to control all of the large
stock centers.

A REMARKABLE CASE,

One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner, Marion, Ind. who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: "The coughing and
straining so weakened me that ran
down in weight from l48 to 90 pounds.

until used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles Of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough, strength
ened my lungs and restored me to my
formal weight, health and strength. Sold

He Promotes Education.

George Frommes, who was recently
appointed local representative of the
International Correspondence schools,
has a display in the window of the Lo-
heyde building on North Minnesota
street showing the work of the schools.
Mr.. Frommes, who is the solicitor and
collector for the schools, has thirty
towns in his district and has opened
an Office at 30 North Broadway. His
schools teach $50 branches and there
are now about twenty-five students in
New Ulm who are taking various
courses.

sound condition. The wheat yield is
far above that of 1899 or 1900, and
there was plenty in both of those
prosperous years to go round. Even
the oat crop is an average one, being
in fact 3 per cent more than the aver
age of the last ten years.
Alabama leads the twenty principal
corn states in condition of crop. The
government puts the condition of our
corn crop on August 1 at 90, which is
one point higher than the Texas crop,
and three points higher than Missis-
sippi's crop-the three being the lead
ers in crop condition. The average in
the great surplus corn states was on

Fighting in Macedonia.

The assassination of the arrogant
donia, was done by Turkish soldier,
and this will not help the sultan's
cause. The failure, too, of the reform
scheme proposed by Austria and Rus
STA, stands confessed, and the Mace
domains now demand the appoint
ment of Christian governor general,
who must be Independent of the porte,
and they will accept no less.
This brings war close at hand. espe-
cially when Macedonians and Bulga-
rians are arming and massing in con-
siderable numbers. The Turkish gov
eminent was given a free hand in
t-anquilizing Macedonia, but its eff
forts have been fruitless, and today
rebellion is imminent and threatening
The entire situation is full of posi-
bilities. The attitude of Prince Ferdi-
hand of Bulgaria is disquieting, and
tee consuls of the powers in the va
rious vilayets have their hands fun in
keeping up with the situation.
Beyond all doubt Prince Ferdinand
and all the rest of Bulgaria fully SYM
cahize with the Macedonians, and
berlaope is that something will occur
LeaNwill lead the Turks to cross the
pdlgarian frontier. Russia would at
nee resent and resist such action,
the end of Turkey In Europe
g6ulL be near at hand.
Boris garafoff, brigand and patriot,
who seized Miss Stone, is the leader
of the Macedonians, but the real es-
sence of the case is the action of Bull
garia, and especially Of the Turk to-
wards this ward of Russia. Sarafoff
desires two things-a blood curdling
massacre of Christians In Macedonia
that would arouse all Europe, and the
invasion of Bulgaria. These are the
keys of the situation, and Bulgaria
is certainly playing into the hands of
'fhe Macedonians.

MR.. BRYAN's FOREIGN TRIP.

From the Washington Star
BY the way, when does Mr.. Bryan sail
for Europe? September was named in
the announcement of the trip, and three
months time allowed. He would study
sociology and take a look at the indus
trial conditions at close range. But now
we hear of him campaigning In Ohio,
and appointed as delegate to the Ma
tional Farmers congress, TO be held as
late as September 90 Can 1t be that he
has abandoned his purpose to go abroad
this year? Have the Clevelandites been
making such heavy inroads on his forces
that he cannot afford a vacation at this
time? The value of the presence of Ma
poleon on the field of battle was esti-
mated at $4,000 men. Several state bat
ties are in progress Would Mr.. Bryan's
absence from the country tell heavily
against his party?

A Practical Joke.

inclined to drop off to sleep sometimes

many an excuse to play a joke Last

old went to sleep while he was sitting on
the bench One of the other boys pro-
duced large tin bucket from some

two yards long tied 1t to the sleeping

the bench, and when the clerk rang his
bell in a few moments and the boy
jumped up to answer he jerked the bucket
down with a terrible clatter.
"of course he was threatened with dis
missal by the clerk, but it afforded the
spectators and the other boys consider
able amusement"

A NEW LITERATURE.

A new literature is in process of develop

or woman say, ~ always look in the back
of the magazines first" The modern adj
vertsement is worth looking at, whether
1t is the sounding proclamation of some
big corporation, with facts and figures
both weighty and impressive, or the light
eye-catching notice of some simple trade
or continuance All forms of literary COM
position find place In the advertising

tisements measure up to the test of good
literature. In truth, there is often an
uncommon amount of character in them.

LETTERS TO EDITOR.
Store Orders.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
notice my name has been mentioned
before the miners arbitration commits
sion, and l deem it necessary to say a
few words touching the matter. In Sep
TENDER, 1901, an arrangement was made
between Mr.. Bacon of the t. c. ]. COM
pany and myself to purchase store orders
for cash at IS cents on the dollar over
their entire system; prior to this time
there was much speculation in these or
ders prices ranging from 10 TO so cents.
The new price fixed by Mr.. Bacon has
been in effect for the past two years,
these checks or orders being cashed at
present in their commissaries.
My contract with the company was of
short duration as it suited the. T. c. 1.
company better to cash these orders in
their stores instead of having others
handle them. Cash checks are now issued
twice q week, and merchandise checks
are issued every day. A feature of the
contract with me was that no saloon
men were allowed to deal in these orders.
Respectfully, N. SCIWABACHES.

Downward Tendency of Prices.

Bradstreet's index numbers show
that staples are keeping step with
stocks at least to some extent. In
July forty staples declined, while
twenty-five were advanced in price,
and forty-one remained unchanged.
Staples are still, however, 32 per
cent higher than they were in 1896.
The movement towards lower prices
is very slow, but the trend is unmis-
taxable. In July breadstuffs, live
stock, provisions, hides and leather.
textiles, metals, coal, coke and oils
fe.l in value, while fruits, naval stores,
building materials, chemicals and
miscellaneous products were adj
Sanced Beef stood still, being under
the control and manipulation of the
beef trust.
AS compared with prices on August
4 of last year the decline is slight, but
prices are ga per cent below those of
March l, 1900, when the boom may be
sid to have eliminated. All that can
be said at present is that prices are
sSgging off, and that after awhile per-
haps the cost of living will be re-
duced to reasonable figures-figures

ply 113 more machines, making total OF
468. Any female, Irrespective Of age or
social condition. may now acquire an
expert knowledge of typewriting at these
schools for one shilling, providing she
can write shorthand at the rate of forty
words a minute. There are at present
something like 100 female pupils under
the tuition of school board typewriting
experts, who hold certificates of pro-
ficiency from the Society of Arts or the
London Chamber Of Commerce.
: Messrs. Pitman are at present teaching
shorthand and typewriting to $500 girls,
and have turned out over 10000 female ex-
perts, who, as clerks, are earning from
fifteen shilllngs a week to GS00 year.
Situations are being found for the pupils
at the rate of ten per week, but the ma
jority obtain places for themselves. The
Polytechnic has 100 female typewriting
pupils. Several smaller Institutions are
now teaching typewriting to girls, and
the London representatives of the various
Notwithstanding firms are giving free
tuition. A fair estimate puts the total of
girls who today are qualifying FOR clerk
ships in London at $780, The number has
increased 100 per cent in four years.
In a few months time all these girls
will be seeking situations. And they will
get them, too" said the principal of one
of the schools. In fact, the demand for
girl clerks who can be something more
than mere writing machines far exceeds
the supply. As for the ordinary male
clerk, his day is obviously drawing to
close. Like the male shop assistant, he
will have to seek another and perhaps a
manlier occupation"

corhett-Jeffries Eiaht.

THE interest taken by the people of
Birmingham in the Corbett-Jeffries fight
at San Francisco last night reminded one
of the old days when John l.. Sullivan
was in his prime" said a local sports
man. "Our modern fighters do not seem
to have the lasting qualities that distin-
guished the early favorites. Corbett and
Jeffries are easily two of the cleverest
men in the ring today, both in strength
and tactical skill, but it required only
ten brief rounds to decide the battle. The
fight last night was a strong contrast
to the terrific struggle beween Sullivan
and Kilrain back in the eighties when
sixty-three rounds were fought Now
adays even ten-round fight is unusual
and the little fellows think nothing of
dropping to the floor in the first.
ITO judge form the expressions of the
crowd assembled before The Age-Herald
office last night to hear the report, Biz
mingham was anxious for Corbett to
win. When the result was announced
not a cheer or clap of the hands was
heard. This defeat has about finished

The electoral feature will have no
part in the run-off between Judge
Critz and Major Vardaman, which will
take place on the last Thursday of
the present month. The race is to be
a hot one, and it will turn no doubt
upon the division of the Noel vote.
Senator Noel has issued an address to
the people of Mississippi in which he
practically states he will support
Judge Critz in the second primary
ard he urges his supporters to vote
and pull for conservatism as against
the fyagaries and radicalism of Major
Vardaman my VOTE" he says, shall
go to the candidate who best repre-
sents conservatism, and who would
be least willing to tear down the racial
safeguards of our present constitu-
ton until after something feasible and
superior to be erected in it's stead is
laid before and approved by the peo-
pie of our state" "a popular verdict"
adds Senator Noel, has been rem
dered in favor of conservatism by an
overwhelming majority, when it is
considered that with two candidates
this was the paramount question"
Senator Noel and Judge Critz stood
on a common conservative platform.
1t was but a choice of men, both
being alike opposed to the fallacies of
Major Vardaman. Both were pledged
to the maintenance of the public
schools as they now exist, and both
prefer law to lynch rule. 1t goes
without saying that the Noel vote will
go to Judge Critz in the second pri-
mary, thus enabling him to defeat
readily the long-haired major who
bases his appeals for votes upon pas
sion and ignorance.

MY SPRINGS.

By Sydney Lanier.
In the hearts of the Hills of Life know
Two springs that with unbroken flow
Forever pour their lucent streams
Into my souls far Lake of Dreams.
Not larger than two eyes, they lie
Beneath the many changing sky,
And mirror all of life and time,
Serene and dainty pantomime.
Shot through with lights of stars and
dawns,
And Swallowed sweet by ferns and fawns,
Thus heaven and earth together vie
Their shining depths to sanctify.
o Love- Wife, thine eyes are they, 8
My spring from out whose shining gray
Issue the sweet celestial streams
That feed my life's bright Lake of Dreams.
Oval and large and passion-pure
And gray and wise and honor-sure;
Soft as a dying violent breath
Yet calmly unafraid of death.
Thronged like two dovecotes of gray
doves,
With wifes and mothers and poor-folk's
loves,
And home-Ioves and high glory loves.
And science-loves and story-loves.
And love for all that God and man
In art and nature make or plan, q
And lady-loves for spidery lace
And broideries and supply grace.
And diamonds and the whole sweet round
OF Titles that large life compound.
And love for God and Gods bare truth.
And loves for Magdalen and Ruth.

FOLK CAN WIN.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The machine feels absolutely certain
that 1t can at least count out any pos
slble republican ticket. But if Folk is
nominated for governor, the machine bal

Here is the reason the machine breads
Folk more than any other man in Mis-

with deadly intensity. Ills nomination
would paralyze their unlimited facilities
for counting in one of themselves. Sell

tacle presented than that in which the
