The fruits Of twenty-five years of labor
II saving are visible in a curious vase
made by Edward Rausch, says the Phila-
delphia Record. The case is over five feet
nigh and thirty-two inches at its largest
diameter. It's exterior from top to bot-
tom, is composed Of coins, ancient, mod
ern, great and small, representing the
money token Of all peoples. which have
been carefully made fast to a surface OF
copper. Some of the coins are extremity
rare. Among them are crude bars, rings
and bolts. which We're once used as a
medium OF exchange by African and other
savage tribes. Spanish coins OF early date
are seen in abundance and some early
Greek coins are there. Sicilian spoon
money, early Japanese bars and forks,
African horseshoes, shell money OF sea
coast savages, as well as the most mod
ern coins to be seen.
The value of the vase Mr.. Rausch places
at SIS. 900. Its maker. who lives at 2S3l
North Twenty-seventh street, is a cornice-
maker n by birth a German. He says
the vase is the only one of its kind in the
world. He began to collect the coins in
1879, and, though no possessed of wealth
and dependent for his living on his daily
toll, he collected so rapidly that he soof
conceived the idea of making a vase. He
found, however, that what looked like ar

my w,FE.s PEOPLE COMING"

-...a E
eve Have Had a Splendid Winter"
in Western Canada.
Canada's thrush this year is Won
derfully great and considerably ahead
of any previous year. 1t is always
interesting to those who contemplate
moving to read expressions Of opinion
from those living in the country. 1t IS
therefore our pleasure to reproduce the
following written to an Agent OF the
Government and forwarded to the I'm
migration Branch of the Department
Of the Interior at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask, Canada,
Feb. list, 1905.
Dear Sir:
l take pleasure in dropping you a
few lines to let you know how we are
getting along up here and how we like
the place. We have been here close on
to a year now and think the place is
fine. We have been out every day this
winter working in the bush getting out
logs for buildings, etc, getting rails
for fencing. We have not suffered
with the cold as much as we did in
Chicago. My little boys are out every
day with their sleighs having a good
time. The lowest the temperature has
been this winter is 81 below and it is
very still, no wind.
We had a splendid summer; we put
up about so tons Of hay and will have
about 80 tons to sell; hay brings So pei
ton now and will be higher in the
spring. We have 20 acres broke and
ready for crop. We worked on the
Can. Nor. Ry. for awhile this summer
and am just 3 miles from the railroad
and townsite. The steel is all laid TO
within 2 miles of the river and we
often see the train bringing supplies for
the bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
about May. i wish you would write
them and if there should be anyone
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with a half a car let them know. The
homesteads are all taken up within -
miles Of us. l often think if this land
were only in the States what a rush
there would be; it is the richest land
and the most productive ever saw,
and the climate is OK.
l know that people back there that
I write to do not believe me when /
write them what a splendid winter we
are having, they think we are all froz.
en- up. We have only about s inches
Of snow, and there are cattle on the
range that have not been rounded W
this winter. Day after day the Their
mometer raises up to so and 60 and
don't believe we have had q day this
winter that it has stayed at zero. My
wife says that we used to think thai
zero was cold in Chicago. But we DON,
mind it one bit. Christmas night wv
went out and drove 5 miles with oul
three little boys; it was 20 below, ant
there was not a whimper from any ONT
of them; I'd hate to do it in old Chi
cago.
Well, I guess I will close, and yo1
can tell anyone in the U. S. that the.
cannot do better than come to tn

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve ccntcrs. The nerve
centers.. are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality.S These %centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring a host of inyalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1905-04-20

This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of
the difficulty by correcting the diges-
ton.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is i'll great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tons that are trying to the nerves.

Mr.. Oudinot is a nephew of Nelson
Oudinot, who was one of Napoleon s
famous field marshals. Mr.. Oodinot
entered the American navy in '49 as
an apprentice, and served eleven years.
He was one Of those to go with Commo-

were opened to American commerce,
and with Perry in go brought to Amer

Wien he left the navy he had become
a quarter-gunner. He enlisted in
Pennsylvania April 10, '61, and served
four years in the civil war as ser

A Worthless Substitute.

The Stone transferable mileage law,
passed by the Minnesota legislature
last winter, is coming up to the com.
mon expectation. It is as worthless
as a piece of blank paper. It was
passed as a substitute for the 2-cent
fare bill, without opposition from the
railroad companies, who understood its
harmless character.
The law merely requires all mileage
books to be transferable and good in
the hands Of the holder. It does not
require mileage books to be issued, sc
the railroad companies have simply
withdrawn them from sale, and the
travelling public is worse off than be
fore. The only form Of mileage is the
5,OOO-mile credential book, known az
interchangeable mileage, but the rail
roads will not permit this to be trans
ferred from the original holder, claim
ing that it is not mileage at all.
The Stone law, with its broken prom
Use Of benefit to the public, will merely
whet the demand for a straight reduc
ton of passenger fares.

understood, first intended to provid
for mileage books good for the pur
chaser and his entire family, but cour
decisions were found which would hay'

JOHN HAY ON HIS ANCESTRY

A distinguished American some time
ago leaped into unmerited fame by say
ing, ''some men are born great-others
are born in Ohio This is mere pleon-
asm, for man who is born in Ohio is
born great can say this as the rest
of you cannot without the reproach of
egotism, for I have suffered all my life
under the handicap of not having been
born In that fortunate commonwealth.
Indeed, when look back on the shifting

that I know so little. I learned my law

shire and desk room in the District Of
Columbia. When I look to the springs
from which my blood descends, the first
ancestors ever heard of were Scotch
man who was half English and a German
woman who was half French. OF my im-
mediate progenitors my mother was from
the south. In this bewilderment of orr
gin and experience I can only put on an

made such a law invalid. The rail
roads ought to profit by issuing such
books on 2-cent basis, for they
would vastly increase the volume of
travel. Experience in the east has
proved the fact. The family with a
mileage book travels more than the
family paying regular fare for each
ticket. .... =,
The agitation for lower railroad fares
and the abolition of all passes except
to employees was given good start
last winter. It will be heard from ef-
fectively next year, when new legis-
lature is being elected, and the passen-
ger-fare problem will be one of the
most vital and engrossing at the 1907
session. The railroads will be lucky
if they get thru with the passage of
a straight 2-cent fare bill. Their
treatment of the problem so far has
only increased the probabilities of such
a law.

WONT INQUIRE INTO
R0SEAU co. CHARGES

Complaints to Governor johnson from
Roseau county will not be made the
subject of special inquiry, on the adj
vice of Royal A. Stone, assistant attor-
ney general. The complaint was signed
by thirty three taxpayers of Stafford
township, and was directed against
Martin Nelson, county commissioner,
and T. G. Peterson, the town clerk.
charging them with misrepresentation Of
township road funds, amounting to
$3.50 for road work, and $1,372 for the
purchase Of road grader. The tax
payers secured an injunction to prevent
the expenditure Of this money, and
they claim that it was evaded by call
ing in the old warrants and issuing new
ones. However, on the attorney gen
eral' s advice, there is no ground for
the governor to take action. Mr.. Stone IS
opinion says:
have the honor to advise you that
assuming all the facts stated in the Pc
tition to be true, the same does not war
rant any call for action by you for the
reasons: First. that you have no au-
thority to hear or investigate charges
against town officers or to remove such
officers after investigation or In any
other manner; second, that in the case of
the county commissioner named in the
petition, the same does not set forth any
fact showing malfeasance or nonfeasance
in his office Of county commissioner.

CHECK ON SCAYENGERS
SYSTEM OF ovERCHARGE TO BE
SPOILED BY NEW STYLE OF PER
MITS.

. So many complaints have come to the
health department over the. unsatisfac-
tory service and excessive charges by
the scavengers of the city that Health
Commissioner Hall has been obliged to
adopt system Of checks by which
the patrons will be protected and an ac-
curate record of the scavengers' work
will be kept. That many of them have
been in the habit Of overcharging their
patrons is disclosed by the dumpkeeper,
who says that one load will frequently
represent from two to six permits, where
full charge for load has been exacted
on each permit.
In the future there will be a certif-
cate stub attached to all permits and
when it is presented to the dumpkeeper
he will fill out on the stub an esti-
mate Of the amount of the load. Each
wagon will be officially measured and
a record Of the capacity kept on file.
Instructions will be sent out to rental
agents and householders generally to
demand a certificate from the dump
keepers. ...
This plan will prevent the obnoxious
practice Of dumping the scavenger
load on some vacant lot in order to
save a haul to the dumping grounds. A
scaverger has no right to collect any
money until he presents the dump
keepers certificate, which he cannot
obtain until he has performed his duty.
The system will be put in operation
this week.

MEAD WROTE A LETTER
WASHINGTON GOVERNOR rs NOW
BEING CRITICIZED FOR DIS
COURTESY AND IGNORANCE OF
Law.

Governor Mead of Washington ap-
pears to have "laid himself open' by
his conduct in the Ida johnson extradi.
tion case. After yielding to legal adj
vice and granting the requisition, ha
took another shot at Governor johnson
Of Minnesota in a private letter, which
he gave out for publication to his or
gan in Seattle before it was even
mailed. In this letter he "roasted'
the Minnesota governor for his refusal
to grant the Washington requisition for
Bessie NJ. Allen last April.
Now the Seattle lawyers are having
fun with the legal argument of Their
governor, who is himself lawyer. In
his letter he cited federal decision
known as the Hart case, So Federal Re-
porter, 249, to prove that the Allen
requlsltion should have been granted.
The Seattle bar is having laugh at the
governor, for this is the verv case on
which the grounds for refusal were cor.
rectly based, the federal court holding
that extradltion papers could not be
honored without an indictment or a COM
plant sworn to before a magistrate by
some person knowing the fugitive to

This latest exhibition by Governor
| Mead has been taken advantage of by
his critics in Washington, who say that
he was guilty Of discourtesy in writ
ing such letter to a governor, and in
giving it out for publication before it
was received, and that further he dis
played his ignorance of law in the argu-
ment he made.

Reciprocity Revived.

The reciprocity conference called to
meet in Chicago, Aug. IS and 10, has
revived interest in the subject to q de-
gree that is attracting the attention Of
official Washington. 1t is even pre-
dicted that the president may accept an
invitation to be present, tho this, as yet,
is merely speculative.
The revival of interest, may have
been, to some extent, induced by the
treasury statement at the close of the
fiscal year. The deficiency in revenue
at that time was serious, even tho partly
concealed by bookkeeping, and there is
no apparent prospect of its growing less.
The deficiency in revenue can be
cured in several ways, the most obvious,
Of course, being that of lowering the
tariff duties below the point of pro-
hibition. This would induce importa-
tions and produce revenue. But it
would not necessarily broaden the Amer
lean foreign market unless accompanied
by reciprocal agreements, with the
countries favored, for a lowering of
their duties upon American goods. These
might be brought about either by
treaties or by the passage of maximum
and minimum tariffs which would act
enthusiastically.
The Chicago conference has made q
strong impression already upon the man
ufacturing industries, which have seer
part Of their foreign market going as
the result of German, French and Can
adian competition. The call originated
with the cattlemen, but it has already
aroused the attention Of the New York
Merchants association, the canning in
dustries of Baltimore, the millers an6
other large interests. T.
There is tariff unrest turnout Europe
and the day Of standpattism seems tx
have passed, in view of the fact thai
Europe, which takes two-thirds Of ou1
exports, is moving in the matter Of
protecting itself wherever it can agains
exorbitant charges on exports.

URGES BROADER STUDY
MAYOR JONES WOULD HAVE
CHILDREN OF UPPER GRADES

Summer-school students at the Uni

to short talk on civics from Min

he was an alumnus of Minnesota; that
he. was an official who was trying to
bring about better conditions-had al

The mayor repeated the statement
that he felt an obligation to render
some adequate service in return for the
education received without expense
thru the city schools and the state.
nomination for his present office, and
he felt the same motive should be in
culcated in school children. The obi
cation is on every boy and girl going
to the public schools and state univer-
sity, and each should hold himself in
readiness to be called into the civil
service Of the city or state.
The mayor made a strong plea for a
wider and broader training in the in
termediate and higher grades as well
as definite instruction in civics and
civil government, particularly in mu-
nicipal government, reciting the fact
that the country is growing from a
rural to an urban population and need
ed better information in regard to the
problems of the city. Corruption in
