Sauk Center Editor Talks of
Everybody Except
Himself

Sixth district Republicans figuring
on the future of the politics Of that
Minnesota district are taking Frank M.
EDDY of Sauk Center into their reck-
oning. Mr.. Eddy was in St Paul yes
terday and met number of up TO date
Republicans who chanced to be in
town at the same time. The Sauk
Center editor was willing to talk OF
everybody else's political ambitions
but his own. He discussed with his
friends the identity of the next Re
publican candidate for governor and
even surveyed the field for congress
in his own district.
He refused to say anything that
could be taken as indicating his own
position on both the gubernatorial and
the congressional situations. Mr.. Eddy
served three terms in congress from
the old seventh district, and could
probably have been returned from the
ninth district. into which his home
county of Pope was thrown by a con-
gressional reapportiOnment more than
two years ago. He declined to be a
candidate, however. A year ago he
purchased a newspaper at Sauk Cen
ter and only recently removed from
Glenwood to Sauk Center to make it
MS permanent nome. he was tnird III
the race last year for the gubernatorial
nomination. but his friends say that
Mr.. Eddy is not looking for a nomin-
alton for governor next year.
They are not so positive that he
would not like to be sent to congress
from the sixth, now represented by
Congressman c. B. Buckman of Little
Falls. Mr.. Buckman is serving his
second term, and it is admitted that
he will have a hard fight for a renom-
inatiOn. Beside Mr.. Eddy Senator r.
b. Brewer of st. Cloud is prominently
mentioned for the Republican nomina-
ton in the district

HELPS SISTER STATE
Minnesota Aids Nebraska to

The state of Minnesota is helping

digging up seedlings and preparing to
ship them to Nebraska. Up around
Brainerd the pines are being dug out
by the thousands and sent down to
reclaim a sister state
There is perhaps one-sixth OF the
area of Nebraska embraced in the
sand hill region" said Mr.. Swan. "It
Is a settled fact that the forests will

viii grow and flourish there. The
pines which we are sending to Ne
braska are set out on what is known
as the government experiment re-
serve near Thedford. The pines are
set out in rows, in order that they may
be CARED for.
We think. and It has been proved.
that these trees will grow in the Ne
braskaZ sand hills. The country now
Is used only as a grazing country, and
1t is not1much good for that. II these
trees will grow. the needles will fall
Off and make. mulch. In this way a
bed of soil will be formed which will
hold water after a while, and encour-
age the springs and streams.
We expect that the work which the
government is doing will encourage the
farmers to take up the work of plant
ing the pine trees. This is the main
thing. We find that the people are
taking to the work and are setting out
pines fer themselves. The whole
scheme looks very encouraging. The
Burlington railroad is encouraging the
work. The Lincoln and Billings line
runs through the sand hills, and as it
Is now, . comparatively barren country

veloping the country"

JAILED ON EASTER
Frank johnson ReSents Arrest
but Is Overpowered

Frank Johnson spent the greater part
of Easter Sunday behind the bars at
the central station and stands a good
chance of seeing the interior furnish
ings of the Workhouse in the near fu-
ture, all because he stayed up all Sat
urday night.
Frank arrived at Seventh and Wa
basha streets rather early yesterday
morning, and his uncertain actions at
tracted the attention of Patrolman Pc
terson, who. after sizing up the situa-
ton decided that the proper place for
Johnson was a cell. Johnson did not
look at the matter in the same light
and objected strenuously to being ar
rested. He was finally loaded into the
patrol wagon after sharp struggle and
was soon behind the bars. He viii be

DESTROYED BY FIRE
South St. Paul Blaze Defies Efforts Of
Firemen

Fire Of unknown origin destroyed the
mouse and barn Of G. w. Clark, city
recorder OF South St. Paul. at South
Park yesterday afternoon.
The fire started In the barn and had
made such headway before the flames
were discovered that it was impossible
to save the building. In spite of the
efforts of the fire department sparks
from the barn flew onto the roof OF
the house and both buildings were
soon blazing fiercely. BY hard work
the firemen managed to save the lower
part of the house. but the barn was
burned to the ground. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000. partially covered by

EASTER SOFTENS
LOT OF UNFORTUNATE
Good Cheer Visits the jail,
Workhouse and the
Poor Farm

What did Easter mean to the un-
fortunates who passed the day in the
penal and reformatory institutions OF
the country? Such a question may oc-
cur today as an afterthought in the
minds of some for whom the day had
held much happiness. The thought
may then arise that the day was pass
ed by the unfortunate in condemning
their hard luck
But such was not the case. Quite the
contrary condition existed in the st.
Paul institutes for the temporary sup
preston of criminals. The day found
Tor these a brighter twelve hours than
scarcely ever happens within walls
where sunlight creeping through barred
windows is looked on with disfaVor by
some. and where the fare is meager and
the pleasures even more meager than
the fare. 1t meant for them sweetly
Deautiful religious services, and Easter
music, and such good things to eat. ....
Easter in the County Jail
In the county Jail Sheriff Miesen had
overlooked nothing that might make
the day one of the best possible cheer
to his charges. The Easter services
were conducted by the Band of Hope In
charge OF Mrs. Ina Morrison, the
evangeliStic prison worker. Going

party OF siX-Mrs. Morrison. two young
men and three young women-spOke to
the prisoners of the days significance
and sang the music of the day
The dinner was served at noon, and it
was such dinner as would delight the
palate of any save the plain liver and
high thinker. The bill of fare was ex-
tensive and there was a very-great deal
of each item in it.
At the wOrkhOuse there were re-
ligious services, too. and besides there
was gorgeous feast of ham and eggs
for breakfast and a decidedly Easter
dinner at noon.
Cheer at the Poor Farm
Out at the county poor farm the in
mates started Easter right with eggs
for breakfast and partook of a dinner
at noon which reminded them of the
Thanksgiving stories. The religious
services were conducted by Rev. Lars
A. HOcanzon, while the Easter music
was sung by the choir from the Asbury
Park Methodist church
The day brought joy to the sufferers
in the hospitals of the city. Friends Of
those there made the day an invariable
occasion for a remembrance with flow
ers. and for the 'friendless came great
bouquets sent by the thoughtful ones.
The various wards were transformed in
each hospital. because of the day. into
veritable bowers of fragrant blooming
flowers.

OF course. when a mans health

trouble, let him drink it, but most
highly organized brain workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee berry
affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous sys-
tenn, throwing it out of balance and
producing disorders in various parts of
the body. Keep up this daily poison
ing and serious disease is sure to SUI

that coffee is smooth but deadly en-
emy and health Is OF any value at all,
there IS but one road-quit.
1t is easy to find out if coffee be the
cause OF the troubles. for If left off ten

highest bid 101 .S31, a basis of 3.43, and the
best ever made for a southern security,
was submitted by a syndicate composed
of Messfs. Ladenburg, Thalman & Co.,
and Messrs. Goldman, Sachs & Co, of
New York, the First National bank of
Birmingham, the Peoples Savings Bank
and Trust company of Birmingham. the
American Trust and Savings bank of Bir-

Montgomery. The other bid for all or
none, 100.125. a basis of $40, was made
by the Hanover National bank of New
York. the Birmingham Trust and Savings
company and the Merchants and Planters
Farley National bank of Montgomery.
Other bids were submitted for 3l5 per cent.

where the legal rate of interest is per
cent, and where 6 per cent. is the current
rate on the best mercantile paper.
The governor, however, after duly con-
sidering the matter decided to reject all
bids, the presumption being that he will at
later date advertise for new PROPOSE
tions or negotiate direct with some syndi-
cate on the entire ISSUE
The recent sale of 100000 of 3ls per
cent bonds of the city Of New York, on
a basis of S.47 and 3.49 may lead some
to believe that Governor Jelks acted I'M
wisely IN rejecting a bid on 343 basis,
which would have netted the state $l53,
5000 as premium and would have saved
$126054 annually interest. When, however,
the comparatively small Indebtedness of
the state of Alabama, together with its
rapidly increasing wealth are taken into
consideration, it would seen that the
Alabama bond is the more desirable of
the two. The fact that proposals were
invited fourteen months before the bulk
of the bonds could be delivered doubtless
deferred many from bidding and it Is
possible that the final outcome will prove
the wisdom Of the governor in declining
all propositions. There is no question that
a bond of the state of Alabama is intrinsic
cally as good as that of any government
or municipality on the face of the globe,
and the only obstacle in the way of its
selling on as low an interest basis as any,
is the fact that Alabama is yet in the
early morning of its development, and the
rates of interest current locally are too
high to make attractive any Investment
at 49, per cent.
