State Superintendent.

c.. P. Cary, State Superintendent OF
Public instruction, has filed in the office
of the Secretary of State his nomination
papers. The list of signatures includes
more than 1890 names. most proml-
nent among them being those of all the
state officers, several members Of the
board of regents of Normal schools,
board of University regents, Normal
school faculties and state University fac
ulty. In addition tothese there are the
signatures of county and city super
intents,a large number of high school
principals and leading business and pro
fessional men in every community where
the papers were circulated
Though the papers already in and on
file in the Secretary Of States office conA-
prise list of almost Is, 600, many Of the
papers sent out have not yet been re-
turned. Signatures are still coming in
to the SUPERINTENDENT office the rate Of
400 or 500 day.
The friends Of supt- Cary feel that
this is abundant proof that the peoloe of
the state intend to give him another term
at the head Of the schools of Wisconsin.
They are particularly gratified that the
list of signatures includes so many prom
inent educators. The entire faculties
of three different Normal schools have
signed Mr.. Cary's petition, while varl-
Gus members from other schools have
also signed. Supt. Cary himself IS pleas
ed at the evident approval of his adj
ministration, and his friends here pre-
dict for him a large majority. They
have sounded the sentiment eff various
delegations coming to Madison on 9TH
er matters and on this base the belief
is that it is generally expected throuhg-
out the state that he is to be reelected.

Senate and President.

The situation as presented by the
relations between the senate and pres
ident affords the student an interesting
and instructive field for thought and
reflection. Forty-five years ago, the
republican party came into power be-
cause the people wanted new things
politically. The wings and democratic
we're conservative. They had failed to
note that new conditions prevailed and
that these must be covered by new
political tenets. AS The News views
the situation we have again reached a
point when the people wish for pro-
gress in doctrine and III action. This
time, as before, they have elected a
progressionist to the chief executives
chair. Theodore Roosevelt is the Lin
coin. of the new half century. The SEN
ate takes the place of the opposition
party of Lincoln's time. 1t is con-
test for new things, for progress, for
going forward in accord and consonance
with the peoples wishes. The presl-
dent is clear headed and persistent.
The senate is ultra conservative and
stubborn. The issue will be fought out
before the people in coming campaigns.
notwithstanding the great Scotch
mans opinion to the contrary, The
News believes that the American peo-
pie are usually right. But in any
event whether by guess or correct
conclusion-unde our form Of govern
ment they are entitled to pass upon
public questions and their dictum
should be enacted into law. No senate
elected in the prevalent haphazard man
ner has right to block the action Of
that portion of The government which
comes direct from the people aid upon
we'll defined issues.
The present attitude of the senate
is well calculated to induce the direct
election of the senate-if indeed it does
not suggest it's adjustment.
The northwestern states are taking a
step forward in applying the primary
election system to the election of sena-
tors

Guessing Wrong.

Some of the newspapers of the Older
sections appear to be envious of the
newer sections because of he attractive
ness Of good lands at fraction Of the
land values of the older sections. The
attention of The News was called to
the following item which shows how
two Southern Minnesota papers state
the situation. The article is clipped
from theseditorial columns of the usu
ally conservative Winona Republican
Herald:
1.-THE great land boo M has busted"
and the work of unloading in now in
in progress among the big spectators.
Last Sundays editions of the twin city
dailies were crowded with want adver
tisements. One newspaper had eight
pages and most Of these want ads re-
lated to sale of land, says the Winnie
bago Press News. It seems to be a
pen-mell movement to unload. The
land advertiser, located all over the
northwest, is of that class known as
speculative. 1t was sold during the
boom on contract and the holders are
today weary Of their burden and anx
Gus, Judging from the tenor CT the ads,
to swap it for any old thing. Many
people mcrtgaged good improved land
in southern Minnesota to purchase these
alleged snaps that are now quitting the
market. South of us in Iowa it was
worse. Scores of banks have gone to
the wall as a consequence and many
suicides have occurred among the plum
gers"
1t is seldom that such erroneous art
icles appear in the Republican Herald.
This one does an injustice to the newer
northwest as far at least as the timber
belt is concerned.
It may be that the cold winter with
expensive full made holders of prairie
lands anxious to sell. But such in far
from the case in timber lands Not
withstanding that last year was a wet
one all over the northwest, land owners
in this part Of the northwest did good
business, with every evidence of an
excellent business this year. Prices Of
lands have trebled in the last four
years and are still on the advance. The
people of Southern Minnesota would
make no mistake in investing in Gates
county land The News would not ad-
wise them or any one else, to mort
gage good improved lands" in order to
buy-yet it may be said that the trade
would be a safe one, for many acres Of
excellent Wisconsin land could be OBJ
tanned for one in Minnesota or north
ern Iowa. And in productiveness our
lands are the equal of any. In grass it
is superior to the most favored in the
lower section.
The News knows of no land company
or individual who is anxious to I'M
load-but it does know Of many dis
appointed people who for the past two
Or three years have been watching for
such a chance to secure bargains.
Probably no new section could be found
where settlers are so content with their
holdings. 1t is rare that one will sell at

New School Idea.

The legislature of Minnesota is con-
sidering a measure providing for coun-
ty boards of school commissioners to
have control Of all the schools. It is
proposed to have these boards elect the
county superintendent who shall take
their Offices August LIST, which in that
state is the beginning of the school
year.
The county superintendent, if this
bill passes, must be graduates of the
state university Or of the advance de-
partment OF some Minnesota normal
school or if the advance department of
some outside university OF normal
school which has the approval of the
state superintendent or possess a state
certificate.
Under the proposed law the county
superintendent is to receive a salary of
not less than $40 dollars for each school
in the county and So dollars for each
school visited during the year. This re-
enumeration proposed in considerably in
excess of the salary now paid in Gates
county.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press champion
this measure and it is we'll resumed bv
the press of the state and the leading
educators. It is an extention of the
board of control idea and is doubtless
practical.

PICKED OUT ITS VICTIMS.
Queer Prank Played by Lightning in
Minnesota.

During a severe electrical storm
yesterday afternoon lightning did some
queer stunts about the farm home Of
of this city. His three boys were
sitting in the barn doors, two below
and n in the haymow, watching
the big hailstones fall. Suddenly a
bolt of lightning shot down. 1t shat
tered the sill on which the two boys
were located, tearing big '%splinters
from one end. Earl, the youngest lad,
had his back. badly burned and his
hair caught fire. The other brother
was not injured in the least, and was
not long in going to the relief of Earl.
The lad in the hayloft received a
pretty severe shock, his limbs being
numbed to such an extent that he had
to be carried into the house.
A physician was at once summoned
by telephone from this city. When he
arrived at the farm home he found
only the youngest boy had suffered
injury, the other two having recovered
from the shock. But little Earl Jared
badly. Besides the painful burns, his
eyesight is affected, and up to a late
hour last night he could not see at
all. But it is thought the boy will
not permanently lose his eyesight.
A very strange thing in connection
with the freak bolt is that on one
side of the barn two horses were stand
ing in a stall, and n of them was
killed. On the other side of the barn
two other horses were eating hay.
One of these was also killed, while the
other was knocked down. There was
no hay in the barn loft and no fire
ensued. Vermillion Correspondence

Many Pictures of Paul Jones.

paul JONES'" says a writer, twas
portrayed in every costume that a
pirate could be expected to masquer-
ade in and his whiskers were of the
longest, blacklist and curliest. He is
portrayed in all degrees, from the sar-
donic gentleman cutthroat to the
blood-and-wounds Bill Bovine type of
tar, but always with as much sofa pill
low stufing as possible. One portrait
presents him in a neat militia uniform,
something like that of the time of the
Mexican war. and with the pattern of
whiskers afterward known to fame as
'Burnsides.' There seems to be one
point of accuracy in all these pictures
if they are of the three-quarters or full
length. Jones is always represented
with a girdle full of pistols, a habit of
dress to which he was accustomed"

Her first letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham =
al have been a sufferer for the past eight
years with a trouble which first originated
from painful menstruation-the pains were
excruciating, with inflammation and ulcera-
ton of the womb. The doctor says l must
have an operation or l cannot live. / do not
want to submit to an operation if | can posi-
bly, avoid it. Please help me."-Mrs. Mary
Dimmick, Washington, D.. G.
Her second letter;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham =
"You will remember my condition when |
last wrote you, and that the doctor said l
must have an operation or l could not live.
/ received your kline letter and followed your
advice very carefully and am now entirely
well. As my case was so serious it seems a
miracle that / am cured. l know that [ owe
not only my health but my life to Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your
advice. l can walk miles without an ache or
O. pain, and / wish every suffering woman
would read this letter and realize what you
can do for them."-Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th
aud East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. G.
How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
and how little it cost her-a two-cent
stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply!
As Mrs. Dimmick says-its her life.
Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands
of just such letters as the above, and
offers ailing women helpful advice.

Bankers Kindness to Mrs. Grant.

An incident lately made public re-
veals one of the leading bankers of
Denver, David H. Moffat, in a favor,
able light. Mr.. Moffat was formerly
the partner of the late United States
Senator Chaffee, whose daughter mar
ried U. S. Grant, Jr. After MI. Chat
fees death his estate suffered re-
verses, and in the panic of 1893 a
large business block in Denver, a part
of Mrs. Grants inheritance, was
threatened with foreclosure. The
amount of the mortgage was $780,
900. Mr.. Moffat advanced the sum
needed to save the block and then
carried it along for Mrs. Grant until
all danger of loss had passed. Re
Gently Mrs. Grant sold the property
for 100000, leaving her, after repay
ing Mr.. Moffat, an equity of $3.50, 600.

San Francisco's Destiny.

Statistics derived from the highest
possible authorities are sufficient to
establish the claim of San Francisco
that it is the financial New York of
the Pacific coast. They also point
clearly to the observing person the
fact that much greater things are in
store financially for San Francisco.
Many prominent persons in all parts
of the world believe that San Fran
cisco is destined to become eventually
n of the great money centers of the
world. There are sufficient facts to
make interesting, and possibly instruc-
tive, a consideration of the possibili-
ties of the future in this direction

RED TAPE OVER TWENTY CENTS
Gift to Civil Service Commission
Starts Departments Working.

Starts Departments Working.
Can a government department re-
ceiVe donations" is the question that
has been raised by the reception at
the Washington city postoffice of an
international money order to the
credit of the civil service commission.
The amount contributed, or intend
ed to be contributed, to the commits
sion, is twenty cents, but the matter
is held to involve a precedent.
Accordingly, the advice of the con
troller of the treasury was sought,
and that official, after due considera-
ton, decided that it would be illegal
for any branch of the government to
receive money outside it's regular ap-
preparations by congress, but that it
would be permissible to return the
money into the treasury, where it
would find it's place either in the con-
science fund or appropriations unpro-
vided for"
The controller further remarked,
unoficially, that the amount so gen.
erously donated might, on account of
its magnitude, be put to such Uses as
the commission decided.
The latter, through it's custodian,
turned the order over to the post
office, and that institution will, in it's
turn, endeavor to give it back to the
sender, a citizen of Austria, or to the
Austrian government.-New York

Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands Of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and ~sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from q
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which l learned from
friends in France, l have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely q question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-les-B ains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of q great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills i'll the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a ~dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
