everybody in and about a foreign
motel, from the head waiter down to
the under cooks, takes an interest and
a pride In his business. In the English
Motel the servants seem ashamed of
being caught ministering to the crca-
ture comforts Of others, and even the
Germans and Italians catch over here
the surly, llstless air Of English cooks
and walters.
French Is the country Of culinary
extremes; there the cooking is either
very good or very bad. The idea that
the hunblest French inn will produce
an appetizing dish is a myth. We
have had some of the most nauseous
as well as some Of the most exquisite
meals In France; and outside the
larger towns French hotel, unless 1t
Is. in the way of receiving English and
American visitors, will have sanitary
arrangements such as those described
by Arthur Young in the eighteenth
century.
OF the hotels in the United States
1t only remains to be said that they
are four times as expensive as British
hotels and in every point except that
of service four times as good.
Attendance in the shape of getting
your bell answered, hot water brought
or boots cleaned, is simply non-existent
in an American hotel. But in cities
like New York, Chicago, Boston, and
even remote towns like Denver, the
cooking of the restaurants and the
quality of the food are as good as you
would get in Paris. The linen and the
sanitary arrangements of American
hotels leave nothing to be desired.
Unquestionably the worst hotels in
the world are those in the east, In
India, at Singapore, Hongkong and
Shanghai.
Having run over nearly the whole
world, we are of opinion that the best
hotel in which the fastidious traveller
can hang up his hat is the Oriental
Palace at Yokohama.

The Abstract Of Assessment of
st. CroiX county for 1905 shows that
the total value of all property as
sessed for taxes is $14, 555, 266. The
county has 1897 horses, 37,3l9 head
of neat cattle, 80 mules, l2,l75
sheep, 5,S67 swine. Lands are as
sessed at an average value of $20.23
an acre. When the assessor goes
around in May and June to assess
property he inquiries of the farmers
the amount of the several crops they
raised the year before. AS few
farmers keep an exact account of
the number of bushels of the COM
modities they raise they are under
the necessity of guessing at the
quantity, and in regard to some
crops no measurement is made, so
1t may be seen that the published
statement cannot be exact. The as
SCISSORS reports received from the
farmers of the products of the farms
for 1904 are here given: bushels of
wheat, 50,6l3; corn, 26l, 283: oats,

Our Renovated Postoffice.

While Mr.. Ramer has fitted up all
the rooms in the big fremont block
with new features, no part of the
building has received more atten-
tion than the Postoffice in the mat
ter of renovation. The front room,
in which the public is served with
mail facilities, has been beautifully
adorned with substantial and costly
appliances best to conserve the uses
to which it is appropriated and to
please the eye in artistic design.
Steel covering of a pretty pattern
adorns the ceiling; the side walls
have been covered with panelling
of golden oak up to within about
four feet of the ceilings, above
which is pasted cloth covering of
color that blends into the color of
the ceiling. The partition fixtures
that carry the letter boxes are of a
pretty design and the boxes are
convenient for the Office force and
satisfactory to the patrons. The
lock boxes are of a special design
and are supplied with combination
locks. The rear room, used by the
rural mail carriers, has also been
repainted and renewed with good
paper on the walls and ceiling. The
rooms are heated with steam and
lighted by electricity. They are
also supplied with city water All
these modern conveniences and
elegancies make our postoffice one
of the best of it's class in the state,

AS was to be expected the Demo
cratic press is not satisfied with the
Presidents attitude toward the tar
if in his message to Congress. 1t
is not probable that the President
consulted these gentlemen as 10
what they wanted him to do. The
tariff is the only economic doctrine
upon which Republicans and Dem
ocrats hold distinctively different
views. If Republicans should
adopt the Democratic conception of
a tariff we should have nothing to
contend about. General Hancock,
when a candidate for President,
made the statement, "The tariff is
a local issue" We suppose the
general meant to assert that the tar
if affected different localities diff
erently. self-evident proposition.
The fact is illustrated Fin a recent
historical incident: A delegation of
Mass chusetts' business men, head
ed by Gov. Douglas, interviewed
the President with the purpose of
inducing him to advocate free hides
in the tariff. Massachusetts makes
most of the boots and shoes. 1t
wants cheap leather. Montana rails
es cattle. 1t wants hides protected
by tariff. These interests-that
of Massachusetts and that of Mon
tana-are in opposition. Which
shall be favored?
The Presidents answer to he
Massachusetts, delegation is an
exposition of the tariff situation.

Circuit Court Proceedings.

The Circuit Court, in session in
Ellsworth, decided several cases of
Importance last week. The case of
Thos. R. Morrow versus Elizabeth
A. Morrow, an action brought to re-
cover personal property, resulted in
a verdict for the plaintiff of $4,000.
In the case of John Ptacek et al.
VS.. Jacob Freas (appealed from
Justice Carroll's court) the Judge
directed verdict for the plaintiff
and the jury fixed the value of the
buggy and cutter III question at
SOS 90. F. M, White for Plaintiff
and j. S. Field for defendant.
The case of A. N. Kerr VS.. Frank
Guiser resulted in verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $175.00.
This case was brought by DR.. Kerr
to recover from Guiser pay for at
tending a young man injured in q
corn shredder while in Guiser's EN-.
ploy.
The case of Peter Fink vs.. DR.. H.
w. Lane resulted in a disagreement
of the jury. Fink sted DR.. Lane
for $4,000 damages for alleged faulty
setting of his broken leg.
In the case of the state vs.. Ray
Huber, charged with assault with
intent to kill Harry Freir, the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty.
The case was on trial three days.
Dist. Atty. Thompson appeared for
the state and ]. E. Foley and A..

In the case of Carl Yanisch VS..
the Town of Trimbell, the jury

In the case of the State VS., Louis

He said: NO change in the tariff
can be made keeping in view only
the interests of one state or locality
The law must first take tangible
shape in the lower house of con-
gress. and must thoroughly CORE
spond With the sentiments of the
citizens of the several states as ex-
pressed through their representa-
tives therein. Where the interests,
and therefore the sentiments based
on these interests, are diverse, as is
almost invariably the case in refer
ence to the details of all tariff mat
ters, the law must normally, al
though not invariably, represent
compromise and mutual conces-
sions; and no one outside of congress
can definitely foretell the exact
shape such compromise will ulti-
mately take"

DIR, Lees Lecture.

The lecture of DR.. Guy Carleton
Lee in the M. E. church last Thurs
day evening made a profound i'm
preston upon the minds of every
one of his 600 auditors. DR.. Lee is
a scholar with a vast fund of infor-
nation, philosopher who looks in
to the reasons of things, philan-
thropist who includes all men in his
sympathies and Christian, of deep
convictions. With his fund of in
formation he has the ability to i'm
part to others something of the
knowledge he has gained and to in
spire them in some degree with the
thoughts with which he himself is
moved. He is a very pleasing and
effective speaker. His voice is
clear, his enunciation distinct, his
few gestures strongly illustrative of
his expressions The result of his
statements are made doubly i'm
pressive by his evident strong con-
victions and sincerity. No one
could doubt but that DR.. Lee believ-
ed in the Man of Sorrows" for
he made his faith in Christ convinc-
ing by his arguments. The lecture
was inspiring. 1t aroused in the
minds of all who heard it renewed
inspirations and higher apprehen-
sions. Such theme, so ably and
touchingly discussed, cannot fail to
make men better,
