"Trip TO EUROPE-+LETIER NO z.

Amsterdam, June A, 1906.-We
arrived here June 1st, but have been
on the go the whole time, SO that ]
have not been able to write.
This is certainly an interesting
town, and l doubt If we find many
more like it on our trip.
/ The first day we visited Ryck's
Museum, and it is certainly fine
one. The building covers over three
: acres of ground, and is one of the
prettiest | ever saw. The ground
floor is taken up with sculpture, and
there are some of the most beautiful
pieces in the world here. The next
floor shows all arms and weapons
used from time immemorial, also the
1N 'pmes worn by both men and wo.
~ They have wax figures dressed
up in these old clothes, which, of
course, makes it very interesting.
The next floor is taken up with old
house furnishings, silver, clocks, etc.
The top is All art gallery, filled with
some very fine paintings. Among
them are Rubens, Rembrandt, Van
Dyke, Israel and others. When /
tell you there are over 800 rooms to
the museum, you'll see how useless
IL is TO try to write of it.
We have also been to the zoo,
which is very fine. / visited the one
in New York when / was there, but
you could put it in one corner of this
and never find it. They have every
kind of animal imaginable. 1t took
us two hours to walk through.
There is also an aquarium, with all
kinds of fish, which seem very much
at home. Among them we're our
speckled trout, cat fish and silver
skin.
* We visited the Queens Palace
yesterday, and everything was very
beautiful, especially the throne room,
also the flag room, which has all the
war flags captured by the Dutch.
BY the way, ! saw about every ma
tion represented there except the
United States.
These Dutch are the clurnsiest
people you ever saw. They take
good care of everything, but my, my,
ChOJ oiO VuC sloWCSO ou tuO
face of the earth If YOU we're to
put some of them on Broadway, in
New York, they'd get killed inside
of two minutes.
This is very nice hotel, only |
don't like the way these people eat.
For breakfast you have couple of
rolls and coffee, then about l o'clock
lunch, which is also very light, then
about 7 o'clock you have dinner,
which is the meal with all kinds of
meats and stuffs.
These people here are wearing
clothes like we wore five years ago,
and they certainly stare at us when
we go on the street.
don't like these girls as much as
do the American girl, although
some of them are very good looking.
Somehow there's kind of sameness
about them. d. S. L.

immigration Notes.

South Carolina is to be congratu-
lated upon the class of immigrants
that are seeking homes within her
borders. Instead of the SCUM of
Southern Europe, such as crowd the
Northern cities, intelligent, ambi-
tious people from the countries, of
Northern Europe are coming our
way. The officers who were sent
down from Washington to inspect
the Wittekind's cargo of human
freight have declared Herr Watson's
colony to be of superior class.
The greatest need of the South,
particularly South Carolina, is an
influx of sturdy, thrifty people to
build up the depleted, and in some
sections depopulated, country dis
tricts. 1t may be that the coming of
high class of immigrants at this
time will in measure supply the
need. According to statement Of
Commissioner Watson, about 200
thrifty farmers from Northern Eu-
rope will come on the next vessel.
Several ship. loads of that class
would be welcomed to Edgefield
county.-Edgefield Advertiser.

farmers union BUREAU.
The Farmers Union is now the
biggest and strongest business farm.
ers' organization in the South.

Because some say that Providence
has come to the farmers aid three
times in succession and helped the
union out in winning their prices for
cotton, don't you stop work and
trust the work and all to Providence.
l"Providence helps those that help
themselves" Remember this and
so to work and keep at it.
Back yonder three years ago,
when the Farmers Union first got
together and passed resolutions not
to take less than 10 cents for their
cotton that was then bringing only
g cents on the market, some of the
best business men then said with q
knowing smile, "Resolutions without
money behind them can't move the
cotton market" But something did
move the market up to the Farmers
Union prices that year and did the
same thing the next two years, max
ing the coincidents keep on coming
to pass without any big show Of
piled up money behind it.
"rhere lis no success like success"
The significance of this fact is now
apparent from every standpoint as to
the Farmers Union. The successful
and victorious campaign of this, the
bird year of the existence of this
equitable and conservative organiza.
tion, makes it's onward march now
easy. Come along, young men-ioin
the union and make your calling the
most worthy, honorable, important
and powerful occupation on earth.
We learn that the Poe Manufac-
turing Co., of Greenville, has with
drawn its cotton buyer from the city
and is giving the farmers that half
dollar per bale-which the buyer got
Ito bring the cotton to the mill.
This is the kind of community in
terest that shows equity in it. In
stead of corking up naturally good
cotton market to the detriment of
the towns trade in the selfish inter-
est of the mills, this company has
shown that it is willing to divide up
with their home eco ton growers.
While the officers of the Farmers
Union and the Cotton Association
are quarreling cotton bears take it az
a good opportunity to herald the
news that the South's cotton organi-
zations have split and cotton prices
must now 60 down.
The Southern people at large
who are directly or Indirectly inter-
ested in profitable prices for cotton
cannot tell who is in the wrong,
but most any one can see that both
will be right if they will quit quar-
reling with each other and both do
their best to bring cotton producers
together.

between King county and eastern
Washington. Wilson has never forgot
ten the four years during which he
strayed drought the senate chamber
at will and is eager for another term.
He realizes that SO long as Piles keeps
faith. politically. there is no danger Of
his overthrow. Piles retention means
that Wilson cannot find q foothold.
The Wilson program is to make it
impossible for Piles to deliver the King
county legislative elegation. Wilson
proposes to name his own men. par
ticularly among the state senators,
who will not keep the Piles pledge.
Once the political partnership finds
dissension, Wilson believes it can be
easily dissolved and his own re-elec-
ton ultimately assured. That is the
reason notice has been served on King
county that Wilson proposes to blue
pencil the legislative ticket.

BEER SOLD TO AID THE CHURCH
Failure to Take Out a License Causes
Trouble in Aberdeen, South
Dakota.

Schoenborn, the aged man who was
brought to Aberdeen from Frank, in
Day county, on the charge of selling
liquor at retail without a government
license, was discharged by United
States Commissioner William Wallace
However, other arrests may follow
over the affair.
1t develops that Schoenborn did not
sell the liquor in question. 1t is al
legd that a prominent woman member
of the church of which SchoenbOrn
was also member, asked the old man
for permission to leave sevreal kegs of
beer on his premises, to be sold for
the benefit of the church. Schoenborn
assented, and the beer was sold, five
male members of the church acting
as bartenders, the proceeds being turn
ed over to the church as planned
AS the church people. probably
through ignorance of the federal sta
tutes. failed to take out a government
license, all concerned likely will be

They are Germans, and did not re-

Habitations Of Living Not to Be Dis

Cemetery association indicates that In
the eyes of the law the habitatiOns of

Frederickson lives at East Hudson,
near the Willow River cemetery, which
is owned by an association that sells
lots to families. Last year the associ-
alton purchased some land adjoining
Frederickson's residence, with the in
tention of making it a part of the
cemetery. This was Objectionable to
Frederickson, who brought suit in the
circuit court of st. Croix county to
restrain the association from using
the land adjacent to his house as
burying place. The case was tried

formed them that her brother was in
the barn.
Taking a lantern the officers went TO
the barn and found that Loudenbach
had concealed himself in the hayloft
They called to him to come down, and
after some parley he did so. AS he
emerged from the loft Loudenbach
pointed to himself and said in Ger

AS Moritz advanced to secure him
Loudenbach pulled out a long skinning
knife and attempted to cut him. The
deputy grappled with the man, and af-
ter a desperate struggle succeeded n
overpowering him.
Investigation showed that the hay
loft was a perfect arsenal of deadly
weapons, and it was apparent that
Laudenbach had planned to resist the
officers who came to arrest him. Later
he was given a hearing in the probate
court and ordered committed to the
