Adieu, governor! Capt. Van SAINT
has washed the dust of Winona from
his shoes and will no longer be res
ident of his old home city on the Mis-
sissippi. Just why the governor
should cut Winona out Of his memory
is not explained. Every honor he
ever had politically or, otherwise, he
received as a Winonan. Perhaps he
has discovered that he has lost his

The Last Civil War Veteran.

A computation based on the length
of time which elapsed between the
close of the revolutionary and 1912
wars and the deaths of the last sur
vivors of each indicates that the last
civil war veteran will not pass away
before fifty years have elapsed. or
until 1915, at the age of about los
years. The last survivor of the revo-
lutionary war died 1869, lightweight
years after the surrender of Corn

vivor of the war of 1872 died ninety
years after the close of the war. To
the person attending G.. A. r. en-

possible that even a single one of the

will be alive fifty years, or even twen-

the Solid Rock.
Yesterday, while workmen were put
ting a water pipe through the base
ment Of the Riverside hotel a section
of the wall gave way and fell inside,
being followed by the dirt on the out
side. The cave in started at the bot
tom OF the basement wall, which was
left from the building burned early
in the spring. AS events proved the
foundation was not strong enough to
support the heavy brick structure.
The opening made was about twelve
feet long at the bottom and extended
upward on the side of the building
about four feet, although only the
outside courses of brick above the
lower floor fell. No opening into the
building above the basement was
made.

To Prevent Potato Rot.

The evidence as to whether or not
potato rot can be prevented by the use
OF the Bordeaux mixture is conflicting
but as it costs little to try it some
farmers may want to experiment. The
formula for this mixture has been
published frequently, but may not be
at hand when wanted and it is given
here once more, as John B. Avery
furnishes it to the Republican-voice.
saying it is a sure shot preventative
of potato rot:
cooper sulphate 6 lbs, unslacked
lime, 4 lbs, water SO gallons. Place
Is gallons of water in barrel, weigh
out the copper sulphate, tie in coarse
bag and hang it in the water. being
careful that the bag is covered with
water. In another vessel slake lbs.
of lime, using care to obtain smooth
paste, free from grit and small Jumps.
When the lime is slaked add enough
water to bring the whole up to Is gal
Ions. AS soon as the copper sulphate
is completely dissolved and the lime
is cool pour the mixtures slowly to-
gether in barrel holding at least SO
gallons. Stir milk of lime thoroughly
before mixing with the the solution
and when mixed stir we'll for at least
three minutes with a broad wooden
paddle. To determine whether the
mixture is fit for use insert the blade
of pen knife in the mixture allowing
it to remain for one minute; if metal
lie copper forms on the blade the mix
ture is unsafe and more lime must be
added; when the blade of the knife re-
mains unchanged the mixture is SAFE
"The use of this should be started
when the potato plants are from four
to five inches highyand repeatea.eye
week or ten days. Paris green can
be stirred in with the mixture and
both applied at the same time.''

Cheap Lands, Low Interest.

The last legislature provided for a
State board of immigration and c.. 81.
Warner is supervisor of the work of
the board. He has assumed the du-
ties Of his new position and though
the details Of the work have not been
fully determined on, some of the most
important rules have been made. The
Brainerd Tribune, gives a lengthy
outline of the work proposed, from
which the following excerpts are taken:
Although no policy has been def
nitely outlined, it is understood that
the primary object of the bureau is to
advertise lands which the State itself
has for sale as against land in Min
nesota in general. Messrs. Iverson
and Warner will adopt what they con-
slider the best methods of informing
the people of Minnesota as we'll as
other states and other counties as to
the desira bility of Minnesota as a
home State, the quality of land the
State government has for sale. the
easy terms which the State gives to
purchasers, and the commercial. in
dustrial and educational advantages
of Minnesota in general.
F." I believe that the appropriation
made by the recent legislature will
prove good investment for the
State, said Mr.. Warner to Tribune
reporter. 'State land is better than a
homestead. The terms are almost as
easy, and there is no trouble and ex-
pense of proving up. By buying
State lands, moreover, the settler is
able to locate in settled portions of
the country, close to railroads and
churches. When a settler takes a
homestead be has to pay filing fee
OF SD or S15, besides many other in
cidental expenses. It costs him about
$50 to prove up.
9 Few states in the Union offer
such opportunities in this regard as
Minnesota. In few states are terms
granted purchasers so easy as in Min
nesota. One can buy excellent land
from the State by paying only fifteen
per cent down, and he may have forty
years to pay the balance at four per
cent interest.
:" Minnesota owns 5000, 900 acres
of land, which are sold at public
auction to the highest bidder. Not
more TIM s2O acres can be bought by
a single purchaser. Fifteen per cent
of the purchase price must be paid at
the time of sale; the balance may be
paid at any time within forty years,
interest at four per cent per annum.

Up Vermont WAY.

The play given at Jesmer's opera
house last Friday evening, known as
up Vermont Way" under the aus
pices of the Rebekah lodge, was we'll
patronized, paying about sixty dol
lars above expenses. It was a comedy
in four acts which took three and one
half hours to play. It was comedy all
the way through and the actors have
hardly had time yet to settle down to
the sober duties of everyday life. The
principal feature of the plot was a
hunt for a missing heiress, a young
girl, which accounts for the enthusi-
asm with which the young men played
their parts. It was fun all around.

Farmers to Organize,

A meeting of the farmers of central
Mile Laos and adjoining counties has
been called for Saturday afternoon,
June 10. at Presley's hall in Milaca,
for the purpose Of organizing a farm
ers' exchange.
Such movement has been contem.
plated for some time by many of the
farmers Of this section, and now an
effort will be made to form the organ
ization. The object of organizing is
to plan for the best interests of all the
farmers, especially in methods of sell
ing produce, and to cooperate for
their mutual benefit.
The meeting Saturday will open at
2 O'Clock p. N. and all farmers are
urgently requested to be present. -

The Weather NV Hicks

Inc second storm period for June
covers the eighth to the twelfth, being
central on the ninth. Many electrical
storms and heavy rainfalls will ap-
pear at this time, but they will cover
comparatively narrow localities, leav-
ing wide areas of the country with
only modern results. Tomatoes are
highly probable at this and other
June periods.
The third storm period is central on
the 18th to 18th. The electrical strains
OF earth's summer solstice will be felt
in frequent and general displays OF
Lightning all through this part OF
June. A crisis of such phenomena
will fall about the 18th to 18th.
The fourth storm period which is
central on June 21st is put down as a
crisis Of summer electrical storms. If
the Barometer falls to very low read

"You may be an example in purity,
and I say this with full conscious
ness of the fact that in your youth
the temptations to impurity from with
out and from within are many. God
has made you a discerner of spirits
so that we have ssensibility of sin,
pain to feel it near. And especially
in your youth is this faculty alert and
if we take heed thereunto we shall be
kept pure and spotless, even as the
lily is kept pure and white on the
bosom of the muddy. Shiny pool. Mr..
Kipling is not putting it too strongly
in Gentlemen of Ranks when he puts
these words on the lips of man who
learned too n-of the things that to
know is weakness and evil and defle-
ment:-
" TO the legion OF the lost ones to the cohort
of the damned.
To my brethren in their sorrows over seas,
Sings gentleman of England, clearly bred,
machinely crammed,
A trooper of the empress if you please.
We are done with Hope and Honor;
We are lost to love and truth:
We are slipping down the ladder rung by rung,
| And the measure of our torment is the meas
ure of our youth
III. "Give heed to reading. If
this advice was necessary in Paul's
day it certainly is in our day.
Never were the presses as busy as
they are today. There is much good
fiction, but fiction is but the desert of
literature. Read for brain-making,
character-building, soul-enlarging;
not for killing time.
". Paul further admonishes his
young friend to remember the gift
given him for his task. Neglect not
the gift that is in thee, which is given
thee by prophecy, with the laying on
of the hands OF the presbytery.' You
are chosen young people, specially
prepared for life. Only five out Of
every hundred scholars get into the
high school. This means that out OF
the whole population los boys and
girls of your age are standing by
and denying themselves so that you
might graduate. Recently the son OF
one of our wealthy men addressed the
faculty and students of Brown Uni.
versity. he showed his audience that
the America Beauty rose has ten
thousand buds, but the gardener
pinches back the 5000 buds, and
forces all the rich growth into one
rose at the end of the bush. I say
this that you. may realize your re-
sponsibi1ity. ~
V. "Be diligent in these things,
give thyself wholly to them that thy
progress may be manifest to all. My
final argument is for the necessity OF
concentration, of oneness of purpose,
of choosing some noble. worthy aim
in life. Then put all your powers into
the reaching of that goal. Have you
ever heard of the poor cobbler in
London who afterwards became the
great missionary and scholar? Some
one asked him what is your business?'
He said, MY business is to serve God,
mend shoes to pay expenses Paul
had but one business to Preach Christ
and Him Crucifed.' My business is
to serve God. I preach, and look af-
ter the interests of the church to pay
expenses.

sight of the main issue. There is no
failure but moral failure. Therefore

His righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you -

When the war between Russia and
Japan began a good many people in
this country who sided with Japan
gave as their only reason that they
were always "for the under dog" They
sided with her because they thought
her the weaker of the two nations and
that Russia would demolish the little
empire as soon as she got a fair lick
at her. 1t is said that sentiment in
this country is changing and that Rus
STA has many more ~sympahtizers now

principles and, consequently, have
changed to what appears to be The

WHEN THE CONSTITUTION WAS
OVER THE PHILIPPINES.

Under a recent decision of the federal
court II seems that the Phil
ippines formed a part of the United
States from April II, 1899 to March
8, 1901, the period of military occupa-
ton. The court held that during that
period it was unlawful to collect any
duties on goods shipped from the Unit
ed States to the islands. The constitu-
have to refund all the customs duties
on goods shipped from one part Of the
United States to another. So it seems
that up to March S, 1901 the Philippines
were under the constitution as well
as the flag Of this country; but after
that date, by act Of congress, only the
flag remained to protect the Filipinos
The case in which the decision was
made was one to test the question
Under the decision the government will
have to refund a. the customs duties
collected on goods taken into the Phil
ippines from the United States during
the period mentioned. This amounts
to about seven million dollars. 1t

government for hat period.
