The Lap of Luxury,

The recent numbers of the magazines
seem to take great pleasure in describ-
ing the extravagances Of the tremen-
dously rich or of that class which is well
named "the newly rich.' This class,
if the truth be known, does not enjoy
life more than the honest working man,
is of less value to our country, and is
certainly less American. 1t presents
little to admire and nothing to initiate.
The man who earns his daily bread and
golden grain belt beer is happier,
healthier and will live longer He is
the man to admire, the man who will
make this country known the world
around as leader in all that is worth
while in life Don't forget the beer
that keeps him healthy-it, too, is we'll
worth while.

The $ wanvilIe Gold Discovery.

John Stroman, the Swanville tele
phone man, was in the city on bust.
ness Wednesday and to a Transcript
representative he stated that the story
about gold having beer discovered
on the farm of ''Pine Lake" johnson
near that place IS no 'pipe DREAM d
but fact and that the owner of the
farm has already been offered big
money for it. He states that on
Tuesday evening he was at the
johnson home and saw the report
on the assays of the specimens sent
in to the university and that it show
ed an assay of sixteen cents worth of
gold to the ounce of quartz. There
is plenty of this quartz there and
some on an adjoining farm which
was sent in shows the same assay as
as that of Johnson's. He also states
that it is fact that parties from
Burtrum have formed a company
and bought a farm having gold on it.
Now that gold has discovered on
Johnson's farm the old gentleman
does not know what to do with it,
and is afraid to organize a company
because someone might beat him out
of the whole thing.-Little Falls

Education of Indians.

Supt. J. B. Brown, of the local
Indian School, addressed the Mimi
esota Educational Association al
it's meeting in St. Paul this week
The Pioneer Press has the following
to say of his speech
Supt John B. Brown of the govern
ment Indian school at Morris stated
that Minnesota has 1900 Indian
children of school age fol- which the
state is doing nothing in an educa-
tional way, These are the children
of the 8, 600 Indians on government
reservations in the state. The gov
eminent, he said is supplying the
lack of state educational facilities in
the operation of five reservation
boarding schools at Leech Lake,
three on the White Earth reservation,
six day schools, boarding school at
Vermillion lake and two training
schools, one at Pipestone and one at
Morris.
Mr.. Brown explained the system Of
government supervision of the Indian
education and talked interestingly of
results of Indian education. He
outlined the disadvantages under
which Indian children in the schools
work in trying to absorb in a few
years civilization that the white race
has imperfectly mastered in thou
sands of years Of effort, but gave en-
couraging instances of results OBJ
tanned and favorable development of
Indian children under the educators al
system.
The three greatest enemies of the
Indians, he stated, are the ill-advised
philanthropists, the politicians and
parasites who live on the Indians and

AsHBURNHAM, Ont, April IS, 1903
Il think it is only right that should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
was so distressed with cold and a
cough that I did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day, as
my voice was almost choked by the
cough. The same day I received an
order from you for bottle of your
Cough Remedy. I al once procured
a sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough and cold had COM
pletely disappeared and I wae able to
preach three times on Easter Day
| know that this rapid and effet tive
cure was due to your Cough Remedy.

found such God.sent remedy.

FIRE AT WHEATON.
Loss of $4,000 IS rlost Disa,t-
rnuvc ir, HiSfnrv Of VILLAGE

| AOAS asa AAhSeOAy ~ NhAA~SS
Wheaton, Mimi, Dec. 29.-The
most destructive fire that Wheaton
has ever had broke out at midnight
last night. entirely wiping out the
Sorenson & Mork hardware and furn-
iture store, the Footprints newspaper
plant, Cory's law Office, the Carlson
building and millinery establish
ment and the First State bank.
1t is supposed the fire was caused
by the explosion of an alright stove
in the offices of the hardware com
pany, and because the fire had OBJ
tanned such Roadway it was imposs
IDLE to check it before the fire de-
partment could get water on the fire.
The immense double building was
mass of flames, and the explosion
of large stock of ammunition and
oil made it an awful fire to witness.
Dunn's large livery barn was on
fire several times, and other building
were covered with sparks which were
blown by the stiff breeze from the
north.
The books of the hardware com
pany were partly destroyed, but the
important ones, by good luck, we're
saved, the safe being sprung by the
intense heat.
The losses are:
Sorenson & Mork, $4,000, insur-
| ance $4,000.
Andrew Peterson, building $1,000
insurance $1,000.
Footprints $1,000, no insurance.
Carlson $4,000, insurance 81 900.
State bank 81, 200, insurance 81 200
H. B. Cory $500, insurance moi
known.
The fire leaves some of the losers
without cent and years of toll gone
for aught. Especially is this true of
George G.. Allanson. owner of the
Footprints, who had recently put in
new cylinder press and job presses,
etc.
1t is not known whether Sorenson
& Mork will re.engage 10 business or
not, Mrs. Carlson, who lived over
her millinery establishment, was sick
and had to be carried from the burn
ing building. None of her stock or
furniture was saved and she is pro-
strated by her loss.
At the time the fire broke out there
was only three feet of water in the
tank and near by hydrants were
frozen. The engine had just been
filled with new fues, which caused
foamng SO that it was fairly half an
hour before the pumps would work.
The Bank of Wheaton and Nat.
ional bank building, and the Bap
fist church property we're in danger
at times.
