THANKSGIVING IN CALIFORNIA
Mrs. Dan BurriH Writes. ofa the Day
Spent There.

Mrs. Dan Burrill writes the following
from Riverside, CAL: at has been my
great pleasure to spend this : last
Thanksgiving day in this beautiful city
with friends and relatives at the home
of W. +. Clark. The day, like all other
days since l arrived on the 7th of Octo-
ber-warm, and not cloud in the
sky. The dinner was all that any Min
nesotan could ask, especially the fruit,
apples, oranges. lemons, grape fruit, per-
simmons and walnuts, all picked that
morning from the trees on Mr.. Clark's
ranch; and the raisin grape, also from
the ranch. The rooms were made very
beautiful with white pinks, red roses,
chrysanthemums, and English violets,
with smilaX in profusion. Southern
California is rightly named the land of
sunshine and roses. Yet, with all this,
always have good word for Min
nesota. 1t undoubtedly has its draw
backs, but so has California"

DR.. A W. CHASE'S
VERVE PILLS

The man who hesitates, whose eye is
dull, whose step is slow, whose mind is
sluggish, whose hands tremble, is not
the man whom an employer seeks. 1t
is the bright man, the man with the
clear eye and brain, the active man, full
of energy, life and vigor, whose very
manner and presence breeds success that
is sought for and snapped up as soon as
seem. and it seems almost pitiful that
the first class, victims of excess of some
sort, should exist, when it needs but a
thorough course of Dr. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills to round them into the old
time-feeling of physical, intellectual
and manly vigor again.
Mr.. Fred Hoyt of No. 7a4 9th Ave.
New Brighton, Pa, says:

SHALL WOMEN VOTE?
Question Is Debated BY the Rapidan
Literary Club.

Resolved. That Women should have
equal suffrage with man" was warmly
debated by the Rapidan Literary club
Saturday evening, Bessie Jameson lead
ing the affirmative, Almond Flo the mega
tive. A long line of telling arguments,
old and new, were advanced by both
sides, the Judges deciding in favor of the
negative two to one. A fine program
preceded the debate consisting of reel
tations by Nina Davis, Eleanor and Una
Rogers; instrumental music by Miss
Waite, Mrs. Davis and Miss Rogers
was especially pleasing. Excellent vO-
cal music by the choir, and a quartet
composed of Miss Waite, Mrs. Davis,
Harry Davis and Paul Rogers were much
enjoyed. A clever issue of The Plaindeal
er was read by Mrs. Davis. A one-act
farce "When Women Have Their Rights"
was given by May Gregg. Daniel Bozin
and Adolph Just. Mr.. just as the hus-
band who washes while his wife makes
political speeches, rubbed and splashed
vigorously in a tub of suds, all the while
wishing he were dead, to the great
amusement of the audience. Altogether
the club is to be congratulated on its
entirely successful entertainments.

ing here last Monday.
Mrs. Julia Morton returned to her

HARD PAIR.
Police Looking For Men With Postage
Stamps to Sell.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The police have been searching today
for couple of parties who were offer
ing to sell postage stamps at reduc-
ton last night in one or more saloons.
At one place on North Front street one
of them asked the proprietor whether he
did not want to buy some postage
stamps, and the proprietor offered to
take dollars worth, but the man
said that he would not sell less than 500
worth, and that he would make a reduc-
ton. Whether this was a scheme to get
the proprietor to show how much money
he had or whether the men were trying
to dispose of the proceeds of post
office robbery is not known The same
fellow asked the proprietor if he cared
whether they ''frisked' party who was
there, but the proprietor would not
stand for it.
The men were seen in one or two
places today, but by the time the police
could be notified they had left and the
officers were unable to get any trace of
them. They may be the parties. that
robbed the postoffice at Morristown Mon
day night.

1t is foolish for farmers to send any
of their turkeys off to Minneapolis, when
they can get just as good price right
here in Mankato, and do not have to pay
any freight either. At the Kurth pro-
duee store l2h cents per pound is be-
ing paid for the fowls. Ducks, geese
and chickens are also being bought at
Mankato at prices which make it de-
cidedly Improbable for the farmers to
60 shipping any of their fowls off to the
Twin Cities. The freight, commission,
and other cuts made in the
amount of profit render it very unwise
not to haul to Mankato when one can.
