Cache Junction Fire.

CACHE JUNCTION, July 27.-Quite
and excitement was caused around
here yesterday when suddenly fire
broke out in the wheat field of Mr..
Mitchell. The wind was blowing
quite briskly and for a while 1t looked
as though there would be big loss to
the farmers on the west side of the
river, but luckily the wind subsidized
and as plenty of help arrived it was
soon quelled without very heavy
loss. 1t was caused by an old straw
pile which was set on fire last April
and had smoldered until the recent
dry weather and hot winds had revived
it.

Tax Ferrets.

The Duluth Herald is of the opinion
that as it is utterly impossible under
the present constitutional provisions on
taxation to secure anything approaching
equal taxation, the tax ferret scheme of
Representative Thayer might prove to
be good thing and accomplish some
thing. The instance cited by Representa-
tive Thayer, showing that in Blue Earth
county tax ferrets got $4,000 in taxes
in one year, is convincing that some
good can be accomplished. The burden
was made much lighter for those whose
entire property got on the rolls, and the
taxation scheme of that county that
year was so much nearer that equality
which is the dream of taxation theorists.
1t has been demonstrated that town
ship and city assessors have failed to
list all the property that should be tax
ed, and these officials have worked faith
fully in their efforts to do their duty
thoroughly.

Goose Bone as Weather Guide.

Most of us can remember the days
when the late 1amented Mr.. Lockerby
was the official weather forecaster for
Mankato and vicinity. 1t was an an
nual occurrence with Mr.. Lockerby to
announce in the fall of the year what
article of weather the people could ex-
pect the following winter. Sometimes
Mr.. Lockerbys representations proved
to be correct, and it was with no little
degree of satisfaction that "the far
mer" chuckled, and remarked, 81 told
you So" Mr. Lockerby's forecasts were
always guided by the condition of the
cornstalks, orsperchance7 the muskrats
gave him the tip as to future, weather
possibilities. 1t was a sad day for peo-
pie hereabouts when Farmer" Lockerby
crossed the dark river, for ever since
that time we have had to, contend our
selves with the forecasts sent out from
time to time by Rev! tIrl Hicks and Pro-
ltSSOl IOSttl. WIZ COHSuIO UhC pldHCOS
and make up weather conditions to meet
all sections. But ST., Louis has another
weather prophet who depends upon a
goose bone for his guidance. Professor
Dyer does not pretend to be profess
sional weather prognosticator, but he
does assert that by consulting a goose
bone plucked from bird born during
the year one can readily find out to his
own satisfaction what sort of weather is
in store. Dark spots on the bone in
dictate that the weather will be cold,
and the light spots tell you that warm
wave is due. These signs have never
failed him and he has consulted the
bones since the winter of 1876. Profess
sor Dyer states that after the present
cold snap has passed away warm wealth
err will stay by us until the latter part
of February, when another cold wave
will happen along, but its stay will not
be of such a duration.

The Reason Why.

3
old soldiers of Mankato for voting
against the proposition to establish a
home for the wives Of the veterans
Editor Fichthorn is an old soldier him
self and wakes eloquent as follows:
''Wilkin post, G. A R., Mankato,
must have lost its head at it's last meet
ing, when it voted its opposition to the
suggestion of Governor johnson, that the
state provide home for the aged wives
of the old veterans of the state soldiers
home at Minnehaha. Have the mem
bers of Wilkin post forgotten the sac
rifces made by the wives and mothers
of the civil war? If not, why object to
the great state of Minnesota to take
care of the needy, patriotic, heroic wom-
en- who shared the trials and triumphs
of their husbands that marched to the
front in defense of the Union. We are
surprised at the action of a post that
votes it's objection to the legislature
passing bill that would give home to
the old veteran and his wife, that they
might pass the last days of their lives
together, instead of being separated, as
they now are. Members of Wilkin Post,
Mankato, we feel that you do not mean
it, and the sooner you recall your late
action, and urge your. members. of the
legislature to see to 1t that the old
veteran and his wife shall climb the hill
of their receding lives together, the
more credit it will be to the patriotism
of the great state of Minnesota, and
the happier it will be to the old veteran
and his family"
All of which sounds very nice, but
Brother Fichthorn should bear in mind
that Wilkin Post is composed of patriot
ic gentlemen who not only have due
wives, but they have the interest of the
state at heart as well. Wilkin post is
of the opinion that it would be far bet
ter for the state to appropriate money
to these faithful women, permitting
them to remain in their own homes in
stead of budding them together under
one roof. Experience with the homes
in other states has proven that they
are not the Ravens of comfort which
they were intended. Wilkin post is not
in favor of expanding money for a sup
erintendent and matron therefor, besides
other attendants, but rather would have
the money go to the soldiers wives di-
rect.

Why Not in Lake Crystal?

The Swedish girl by the name OF
Miss Segran johnson, who has been
working at the Wiberg restaurant up
to and within the past week, went to
Mankato to seek employment and lost
her pocket book containing $l2 on Front
street. 1t might be she dropped the
purse, but there is more likelihood that
some one swiped it from her. This is
all the money she had, and having been
in this country but short time makes
it harder for her to secure employment
not understanding the ways of Ameri-
can people.-La Ike Crystal Union.
There is more likelihood that the girl
was robbed of her money in Lake Crys-
tai, possibly at the "union" depot where
people have been known to have fallen
victims to pickpockets while changing
cars.

Where Discrimination Hurts

-"Much of the discussion now going on
about railroad rates does not touch upon
a point which to many people seems of
very great Importance" says The
Mortified News. "The people of this
state outside of the Twin Cities have
much more reason to complain of rate
discrimination than of rates in them
selves unreasonable" or excessive. There
would probably be very much less COM
plant of unreasonable rates than there
is now if it were not matter of COM
mon knowledge that one class of ship
lpers gets better rates than another and
that one section of the state enjoys
privileges which another is denied This
discrimination makes it difficult and
sometimes impossible for the man who
lives outside terminal points to carry
on successful business in competition
with merchants or manufacturers locat-
ed at terminal points. The Mortified
shipper cannot compete in Chicago with
/
the st. Paul shipper who pays only half
the freight he is charged. A man liv-
ing here cannot carry on a manufac-
turing industry which requires a large
consumption of fuel in competition with
the Minneapolis man who, because of
lower freight rates, can buy his coal
more advantageously. He cannot manu-
facture his goods proftably here either
if he has to pay higher rates on his raw
material than his metropolitan competi-
tor. The condition is so plain that no
argument is needed to make its exist
ence clearer"
What applies to Mortified applies
with equal force to Mankato and other
cities in Minnesota. 1t was pointed out
in these columns few days ago that
Mankato jobbers and manufacturers are
Disseminated against in the interest of
those in the Twin Cities, in that those in
this city are forced to pay a higher
freight rate from Chicago than their
competitors in st. Paul and Minneapolis,
rand the mileage covered is about the

Postal Savings Banks.

Of late there has been but little said
in the newspapers relating to postal
savings banks, the agitation in behalf
of this proposition apparently having
given away to discussion of the rail
road rate problem, comments on tariff
revision and the conditions in Russia
and the far east Occasionally, however,
some writer will venture to throw in a
word in favor of postal savings banks.
A correspondent of Chicago news
paper urges the establishment of pos
tai savings banks on the ground that
they will 60 long ways towad settling
the so-called labor question-will be the
means of placing the working classes in
a more fourishing condition financially,
for the reason that they will be induced
to save their money. 1t is well-known
fact that majority of the working peo-
pie spend their weekly wages about as
fast as they earn them. They should
be taught to save their small change,
and in time their condition will be bet
tered. Why not establish postal saw
ings banks and in these institutions the
toiler could deposit small sums of
money, and with the assurance that
their deposits would be absolutely safe.
Ten cents week deposited in a bank
to snug sum within comparatively
few years. Once the saving habit is
acquired it is not difficult matter to
