SHIPPERS WIN THEIR POINT.
Bill of Lading Is Not to Be Bind.
ina.

Chicago, July l9.-Shippers, according
to The Record Herald, have won vic
tory over other railroads in relation
to the uniform bill of lading. While it
has not yet been generally promulgated,
officers of the eastern roads have agreed
to waive the signature feature of the
new bill, which was the bone of conten-
ton between the transportation COM
panies and the shippers.
This agreement ends what promised
to be long and bitter struggle between
the shippers and the railroads over the
new bill of lading that is to become eff
fective Sept. l. The railroad companies
desired to establish bill of lading that
would have some semblance to a con-
tract, binding the shipper to turn his
traffic over to the railroad and abide
by rates. The effect was practically to
guarantee the roads against losses.
Several conferences have been held in
this city between shippers and railroad
officials and the meetings ended without
any agreement. The shippers then threat
ened to carry their fight before the inter
state commerce commission.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and Sulphuric
Acid For Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
licited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
powder cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme of
some baking powder manufacturer to get
new brand on the market by offering
the grocer large profit. Housekeepers
are not usually much benefited by such
changes. Alum baking powders are gen.
orally low priced, but they are we'll
known to be detrimental to health. Large
quantities of one of them were recently
seized in New York, being found to be
largely composed of sharp pointed grains
of ground flint and sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers or
alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get brand well-known
to be made of cream of tarter, which
is healthful product of the grape.

imperialism a Bugaboo.

The one plank in the Democratic plat
form that appears to Bryan as sort
of an oasis in the political desert, is that
which declares against imperialism. Next
to the free silver, imperialism is the
hobby which Bryan has ridden, much
to the disgust of the American people
who have long since sang a requiem over
it's remains, it having been buried along
with sixteen to one. Since the adjourn
ment of the Democratic. convention Bry-
an has chartered considerably of i'm
perialism, and has made statements
which sound ridiculous to the many who
have come to regard expansion of terri
tory and trade as incidental to the
march of progress. But Imperialism, as
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune says,
is a nice word with which Mr.. Bryan hopes
to catch the ears of the groundlings, not
withstanding there has ever been ex-
pansion, which Mr. Bryan and the Demo
cratic party call imperialism-an there
always will be unless the dry rot of
Democracy should come to control af
fairs.
Good old Bishop. Berkeley voiced the
expansionist sentiment in Colonial days,
when he foresaw the westward course of
the Star of Empire. So did Governor
Spottswood, when he crossed the noun
tains of Virginia and gazed upon the en-
pire to the west. So did Washington
when he stood at the forks of the Ohio
and insisted upon possession of the
western country by England even at the
expense of war with France. So did
George Rogers Clarke when he conquer
ed the Illinois country, and paved the
way for the accomplishment of the
grand work of the greatest "imperialist"
of the Union.-Thomas Jefferson.
So did Polk when he acquired the
domain of the Pacific coast
from Mexico. So did Lewis and Clarke
when they explored Oregon. So did Sew
ard when he acquired Alaska. So did
the whole country in the war with Spain,
in the acquisition of Porto Rico
anu 1;ine rnInppincs, and taught Eng
land that to the United States alone
could be committed the task of construc-
ton of the isthmian canal. So did

they followed the flag of the United
States TO victory II the war with Spain.

commerce have outgrown the domain be-

Points That Should Be Considered.

WI
There is another point in connection
with the paving bid of the Davenport con-
Germ that should not be lost sight of.
1t has named price on Broad and Lin
coin streets on specifications calling for
five inches of concrete, one inch of bind
er, and one and one-half inches of wear
ing surface, of $685., and upon speci-
cations on Front and jackson streets,
calling for six inches of concrete, one
inch of binder, and two inches OF asphalt
surface. They named price of $l.95
on Front street, and $l.97R on Jackson
street. The comparison upon the bids
of Front and jackson streets is also an
indication of their inexperience in this
class of work. Front street now has a
large amount of stone and gravel, which
was formerly put in as a macadam
street, and Jackson street has simply
been filled with gravel and dirt, etc., still
Notwithstanding the increased cost of
grading Front street, they made price
of two and one-half cents per square
yard more on jackson street, where
the grading is less expensive.
In it's own behalf, the Barber As
phalt Paving company has to say that it
has made bid most reasonable in cost;
that regardless of the fact that some
of the property owners on Broad street
are trying to litigate the company out
of its pay for the pavement now laid up
on a portion of Broad street, it has bid
exactly the same price as it did on the
last work, and that it has added to that
price for the figure on Front and jack
son streets, the exact difference in the
cost of material. The work which it
has done in Mankato speaks for itself,
and the conditions about the country
have not changed in regard to the Bar
Der Asphalt Paving company's work,
since two years ago when the board of
public works made very thorough and
exhaustive investigation and advertised
only for Trinidad Pitchlake asphalt
pavements.

Pen Picture of Minnesota.

This is the picturesque way in which
Life describes Minnesota. The fellow
who whote the following is humorist:
minnesota is situated at the eastern
extremity of Mr.. James j. Hills fine
country estate. It's people are favorites
of Mr.. Hill. He often asks them kindly
if they are getting enough to eat.
'It's dry in Minnesota, but it's so cold
you don't feel it.
Minnesota is very healthy. 1t is full
of towns which need nothing so much as
a few frst-class funerals, and simply
can't have 'em.
Minnesota was settled by Mainites,
mostly friendly to the whites, however,
and Scandinavians. The Scandinavians
go in for all the brands of Lutheran
theology. 1t is small village indeed,
which hasn't two dourishing Lutheran
sruts, une holding that Adam was unex-
until he ate the apple; the
other that he was horse-thief de novo.
Minnesota is reliably Republican, ex-
cept when the Democrats get busy and
put up Swede. Some say yellow dog
on the Republican ticket
would be elected; others, that this has
actually come to pass.
'Tn order to anticipate any possible

tween the Atlantic and the Pacific, the
sixteen toe one shout of William Jennings
Bryan is raised calling on President
Roosevelt to halt at the Pacific coast,
fold up the flag and be content with that
which was suitable decade ago. There
is no imperialism in the United States.
There always has been expansion, in ac-
cord with the growing demands of the
trade and commerce of the country. Mel
Their Mr.. Bryan nor the st. Louis con-
vention can stay manifest destiny, nor
by their little shoulders placed against
the wheels of progress stay the Ameri-
can merchant and manufacturer from in
vasion of the markets of the world.
1t is well for the manufacturer, the
merchant and the laborer that the Demo
cratic party has not been in power during
the years from 1896. Progress and ex-
pansion of trade would have encounter
ed obstacles, and thus would the hum of
industry have been given a serious check.

Bryan, l65; Mckinley over Bryan, LAG.
This shows how the increase of popula-
ton and the reapportionment based on
it tells in favor of the Republicans. 1t
is equal to a gain of nine electors, if the
states were to stand just where they did
in 1000.
The electoral college this year has 476
votes; 239 are necessary to a choice.
Suppose the Democrats were to carry
this year all of the states which they
carried four years ago, they must get
seventy -four more votes in order to reach
the required number.
The Democratic party bases its hope
of winning this year on the probability
of carrying New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Indiana and Maryland, with a
possibility of carrying Illinois, Ohio,
West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Why the Democrats should have any
hopes of carrying the above states is not
apparent. There is plenty of dissatis-
faction among party men with the Dem
ocratic ticket in New York, even though
their presidential candidate is a resident
of that state. There is no reason for
Democratic success in Illinois, and none
in Wisconsin. The fractional fight
among Republicans in the badger state
will have no disturbing effect on the
national ticket Ohio is safely Republi-
can, and the chances of the Democrats
carrying Indiana are somewhat remote.
Senator Fairbanks strength will aid ma
terially in holding that state in line
for the Republican ticket.
There is no disaffection among Re-
publicans anywhere, but the grumbling
in, the Democratic ranks is pronounced,
but this should by no means lead the
Republicans into the belief that there
is nothing to be done for the success of
their ticket. Apathy is as bad as a
revolt, and there should be an interest
taken in the campaign by every Republi-
can who hopes to assist in his party's
growth. Republicans must ever be on the
alert-the enemy must be watched close
ly.

The men who manage the beef trust
are opposed to the election of Roosevelt.
So is Rockefeller and all men of his
stamp. The trust magnates, the men
who are mixed up in gigantic combina-
tions that have for their object the
control of prices of commodities the peo-
pie must buy, are all opposed to the
election of President Roosevelt. The rea-
son for their opposition is clear. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is trust fighter. He is
opposed to the illegal combinations, and
will put stop to their work of restrain
ing trade, if there is law that can be
relied upon to accomplish the purpose.

BERRIES BY THE MILLIONS.
Spring isIano's Crop Is Equal to Pre-
VIC S Years.

Spring Island, July l9.-Barney Sor-
enson has marketed ten thousand boxes
OF berries so far, and his vines are still
in the best possible condition, promis-
ing yield of many thousands more.
''Make hay while the sun shines" was
the farmers motto Saturday. Thou
sands of tons lay on the ground, and men
and teams worked to the utmost to Sc
cure the precious crop. The evening rain
fell on many open stacks, causing slight
damage, however.
Crops are in the best possible condi-
ton. Everybody feels jubilant over them,
but the man with the big field of early
potatoes, smiles out the other side of his
mouth over the slump in the potato mar
ket.
Skunks are numerous and have killed
a great many chickens. A brave young
lady, assisted by the family dog, heroic
ally attacked one of the destructive
pests, and killed it, too.
j. A. Williams commenced cutting rye
Monday. Rather early, isn't it?
Rob Hynson expects fine yield of
melons and plums thisc year.
Mrs. Hall and children of Twin Lakes
are visiting her mother, Mrs. Crandall.
The Misses Pearl and Leila Eaton have
been visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Mccall for
the past two weeks.
Crandall Bros. have put fine foot
bridge across the LIE Sueur, and the
county commissioners did not help them
either. 1t is surmised strong attractions
on the other side of the river were the
cause of this unusual exertion.
A prudent time to hold country lawn
social is after the cherries are safely
canned and before the apples are ripe.
The third division of the Ladies' Aid
society of the Mankato Presbyterian
church will hold an ice cream social on
E. L. Dornberg's lawn next Friday eve
ming, beginning at four o'clock. Every
body come and have good time.
The next session of the Mankato
Woman's Institute will be held the first
Saturday in August, change of time
having been made. The subjects to be
discussed are canning, picking, and pre-
serving fruits and vegetables, neatness
and care in table setting, and the re-
sponsibilities of mothers in training their
daughters to do general homework. The
last meeting was well attended and en-
joyed by all members.

RUSH FOR ROSEBUD LANDS.
thousands Are fIeskiag Into Yank-
ton and Other Towns.

Yankton, S. D., July l9.-The rush at
Yankton to register for homes on the
Rosebud Indian reservation will exceed
expectations. Thirty three thousand have
registered here. This is the last week of
the period and thousands are rushing in.
Railroads have more than they can carry
to Yankton. More than 5000 registered
today and thousands were turned away
at closing time. Five additional clerks
are assisting the old force and more have
been telegraphed for. Ten thousand peo-
pie will be in the city tomorrow and in
dications point to grand rush on the
closing day. Perfect order prevails in
spite of the immense crowd.
Chamberlain, S. ID. July l9.-Today's
registration for the Rosebud drawing
were By, bringing the total at this point
to 3,43S. Arrivals this evening number
about 600 Many are now arriving in
teams prepared to remain until after the
drawing, and in few days the town will
be filled. Arrangements are being made
for a tremendous crowd during the draw
ing.
Omaha, July l9.-The Chicago &
Northwestern railroad ran two specials
in addition to it's regular trains to Bone
steel and Fairfax last night and today,
carrying more than 1000 men and wom-
en- who propose to register for lands in
the Rosebud reservation, recently open
ed for homestead entry by the govern
ment. The rush to the Rosebud country
increases as the time for registration ex-
pires and it is estimated that about co.
900 persons have thus far registered.
Bonesteel, S. D., July l9.-Forty four
hundred persons registered at the Bone
steel and Fairfax land offices today for
the drawing of homestead lands on the
Rosebud reservation. The Northwestern
railroad brought 1000 more tonight, and
another train will bring as many more
tomorrow morning. The line tonight
contains a thousand persons who are
waiting for the opening of the land office
Tuesday morning.
