HAPPINESS AND RICHES
Do Not Measure Good BY the Amount
of Gold.

Milwaukee Wisconsin: McCutcheon's
cartoon on the first page of this morn
ing's Chicago Tribune represents a
stork in the air high above a mOonlit
city letting 90 a basket containing a
human infant. There is a temptation
to the spectator to speculate as to which
OF two contrasting abodes the basket
will reach in its fall-a comfortable man
sion on one side of the street, in the
foreground of the picture, or one-story
cottage on the other. The washing
hanging on the line in the yard of the
cottage indicates that six former presen-
tations by the stork have been made to
that humble home. Above the cartoon
is the inscription: "a merry Christmas
depends largely upon where you light
To those who reflect, the picture may
recall the difference between the elder
Dombey and little Paul regarding the
proposition that "Money can do every
thing" Certainly under fayoring clrcum-
stances money is a pleasant thing to
have. but there is vast amount of mis-
cradle human experience on the side OF
the conclusion that the mere possession
of money cannot make heavy heart
licht-that something else than the sur
roundings of wealth is requisite to en-
sure ''merry Christmas" A little one
introduced to the companship of six
brothers and sisters might find more en-
ioyment in the period of childhood, even
if denied expensive playthings, than if
brought up in solitary state surrounded
by the costliest products of the toy
maker.
1t is the crudest of errors to measure
good by gold-especially at Christmas
time, the period especially dedicated to
peace on earth and good will to men.
Not gold. but love, is the force that
makes the world 90 round. Human COM
panionship and fellowship and sympathy
are worth more than the treasures OF

TRACKLAYERS ARE HUSTLING
"AIphabet" Road Builders Doing
Some Great Work.
From MONDAYS Daily.

Practically two miles of track was
laid ON the "Alphabet" road Friday and
eight miles in all had been laid up to
that evening, says The Albert Lea Tri-
pune. Saturday, Sunday and Monday
it is expected about two miles per day
will be laid and if that be the case four
teen miles vii be the length of the steel
line on Christmas day, about three miles
this side of Freedom, but the residents
of that village can hear the shrek OF
the whistle and that will be pleasing
music to their ears as they enjoy their
Christmas services and feasts. The in
dications now are that if the weather
is favorable fully thirty miles of the
track vii be in the first of the new year
and soon thereafter some kind of traffic
arrangements can be made, as the new
road can undoubtedly arrange to run
down the Milwaukee track and use the
station at the lower end of South Pearl
street This would be handy arrange
ment for the patrons of the road and
0bviate the need of installing other
accommodations this winter. With the
advent of spring it is expected other
sections of the line will be built while
this is put in condition for use, with
the indications that large business win

so scarce part of the time the grading

Mail Order Firm Claim It's
BOycOtted.
WILL MAKE A, TEST CASE
Suit is Brought BY Montgomery Ward
& Co. Against South Da.
k0ta Parties.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Dec. 20.-The first
important retaliatory blow in what
promises to be bitter war between the
big mail order houses of the country
and the merchants of the smaller places
was struck i'll the filing of a suit in the
federal court here by Montgomery Ward
IL Co. of Chicago against the South Da-
i'kota Retail Merchants and Hardware
Dealers association and against each of
the associations officers. Altogether
there are sixteen defendants to the suit
Conspiracy and injury to it's business
are the grounds alleged by the plaintiff
for beginning the action.
The defendants named are the South
Dakota Retail Merchants and Hardware
Dealers associat ton, A. f. Grimm, L. S.
Tyler, II. o. Rhine, A. Mittlestaedt, Ed
Ochsner, L. G. Levoy Robert Sundstrom,
j. r. Hanson, d. HI. Lotus, p F. Wick
hem, J.. N. Grill, A. P. Mcmillan, An
drew E. Lee, w. H. Bunting, T. j. Cour-
shon and E. j. Mannix.
The last named defendant is the edi-
tor of The Commercial News of this
NlUN, CHc OulCli1 OlSttu VI IHc hctdll
Merchants association. The remainder
of the defendants are officers and direc-
tors of the association and reside in va
rious parts of the state, being among
the most prominent merchants of South
Dakota.
The Chicago concern in its complaint
alleges that the defendants have entered
into conspiracy to ruin the business of
the plaintiff company and are maintain
ing a boycott on the Chicago concern by
attacking it in resolutions and otherwise
and by bringing pressure to bear on
manufacturers, jobbers and wholesalers
not to sell their goods to the Chicago
catalogue house. 4sr
1t is alleged that because of this the
plaintiff company is unable to purchase
goods needed to fill the orders of Gus
toners. ......
Montgomery Ward & Co. ask that a
temporary Injunction be granted re-
straining the defendants from waging
war in any manner upon the Chicago
concern in future. The suit is instituted
against the defendants as officers and as
individuals.
The case is the first of the kind ever
instituted in the United States by a
catalogue house and is in the nature of
test. Should the injunction be grant
ed, the Chicago concern, it is expected,
will commence similar proceedings in 9th
er states with the object of preventing
retail merchants associations from wag-
ing war against it. That the case COM
menced here will be bitterly contested is
certain.
Judge Garland of the federal court has
fixed Jan. 3 as the time for the defend
ants to appear before him and show
cause why the temporary injunction
prayed for by the Chicago establishment
should not be granted.

KASOTA WINS DEBATE
Class Defeats the Faribault High
School Team.

Kasota, Dec. 24.-Versatility of argu-
ment and clever presentation of facts
enabled the debating team of the Ka-
sofa high school, supporting the affima-
tive, to win victory over that of the
Faribault high school Friday night in

cup offered by The Minneapolis Jour
nal

one in favor of Kasota and the deci-
sion was received with the widest en-
thusiasm. As result the two young
women and the young man representing
Kasota secure the right to meet the
winner of the Cannon Falls-South st.
Paul debate scheduled to be held two
weeks hence for the championship of
the third congressional district.
The Kasota team was made up of
Warner Clapp, Alice Rapp and Erna
Lehr. who spoke in the order named.
Faribault was represented by Spencer
Phelps, Dorothy Loyhed and Willis
Jones. In replying to the points brought
forth by their opponents Miss Loyhed
spoke first for her team and Spencer
Phelps last.
The Judges were DR.. George s. 1nnis
of Hamline university, and DR.. John A.
Hancock and DR.. J. S. Young, both
members of the faculty of the Mankato
State Normal school. The teams were
so evenly matched that the task of the
Judges was no sinecure and the judge
whose vote gave the victory to kasota
took some time in preparing his decl-

HAS GIVEN UP FIGHT
Mrs. Nathan M. Riggs Turns Ellison
Money Over to Heirs.

Minneapolis, Dec 2O-Elim Ellison
and his son John Ellison of Ellsworth,
Wis, heirs of Minnie Ellison, who was
murdered by Nathan NJ. Riggs in the Ma
tional hotel, July 10, have received all
of the murdered girls property taken
from Riggs deposit box in the Guaranty
Loan building and the famous case is
now settled.
The father and brother of Miss Eli
son came to Minneapolis today and aft
er consultation with p j. Riordan, at
torney for Mrs. Riggs, the three went
to the office of County Attorney Al J.
Smith, where the matter was finally
settled
After Riggs committed the murder he
took a satchel containing $1,000, a
watch and ring, all belonging to his
victim, to the safety deposit vaults.
After Riggs killed himself in Elroy,
Wis, the police opened the box. The
exact amount of cash that Miss Ellison
had was found and two $1,000 bills
were identified as those paid to her at
one of the banks. On this evidence
County Attorney Smith sealed the
money and the other articles and locked
them in the safe in his office, where
they were kept until today.
Mrs. Riggs filed sun to recover the
money and jewelry, alleging that every
thing found in the safety deposit box
belonged to her husband. The Ellisons
were determined to fight the case and it
was to have been tried in the district
court, but as Mrs. Riggs, through her
attorney, has dropped the suit, the case
will never come before the courts.

cardinal" FOR SENATOR.
Dick O'Connor Likely to Get the Dem
ocratic Vote.
From Thursdays Daily.

r. L. O'Connor probably will be the
candidate of the democrats for the
United States senate at the coming SEES
sion of the legislature, says The st.
Paul Pioneer Press. That is, he probably
will receive the votes of the democrats
in the session. T. j. Brady, the demo
cratic representative from the third
ward in st. Paul, says he will east his
vote for O'Connor and believes the whole
minority party vote will be cast for him.
Brady thinks that O'Connor is as much
entitled to the honor as any one and
says he will vote for him whether the
others do or not.
There are thirty three democrats III
the legislature, nineteen in the senate
and fourteen in the house. Two years
ago the minority voted for Mayor r.

There are three pron,bitionists and one

Evangelist Doing Some Good Work
Reforming Worthington.


William Sunday, the evangelist who
kato some times, is now at Worthlngton.
Mimi, and is meeting with good sue
cess there. A dispatch received from
Worthington yesterday said:
In tabernacle holding two thousand
people and especially erected for the
purpose, Rev. BILLY" A. Sunday, the
noted evangelist, is holding a revival in
this town, and from the start he has
made it will be most successful en-
gagement. Thousands of people, both
the city folk and those from the coun-
try, and neighboring towns, jam the tab
ernacle nightly.
I'm his strong sermons, Rev. Sunday
advises the people of the better ways
of living and their general conduct. He
says he is here to fight the devil till
h-ll freezes over, and will then buy u
pair of skates and fight him Oh the ice.
The evangelist met with the same
welcome in this town as in all others.
He is liked by some and disliked by
others, but as he puts it, "they will all
come round fore long," claiming TIE
close of his meetings will liven them up
bit.
Mr. Sunday was offered $500 and a
man to speak in his place, if he would
attend the dedication of a new Metho-
dist church in Illinois Sunday, Dec. l3,
but he wired back that he could not
come.
Worthington people greatly appreciat-
ed his standing by them.
Mr.. Sunday comes to WorUnlngton
from Kewanna, H., where in a five
weeks meeting 3,OlS persons were con-
verified.
The tabernacle here is in the heart of
the city, and there is choir consisting
of hundred voices. The meeting will
close Jan. 6.

From Fridays Daily.
Programs of an interesting character
and appropriate to the holiday season
were rendered in the schools Yesterday
afternoon:
A pretty operetta was given at the
Union building by number of the pu
pills. The singing was excellent, and the
affair showed careful training by the
teachers and careful work on the part
of the pupils. A number of the friends
and relatives were present, and the af-
fair was very successful.
In North Mankato.
The North Mankato school had its
Christmas exercises last evening and this
forenoon. There was large attendance
of parents and friends of the school at
both entertainments, and all were pleased
with the excellent showing made. Last
evening basketball game was played,
and program of literary and musical
numbers was rendered in Miss Bohans
room.
This forenoon the children in the rooms
of Misses Funk, Herrick and Greenwood
united in holding Christmas exercises,
and highly entertaining program was

There was a pretty scene in the kim
dergarten department of the state
normal school this forenoon at the
Christmas exercises. The exercises
began at 9:30 O'Clock. and The lit
tie pupils participated in songs and
games and their other work in the pres
ence and to the edification of large
gathering of the parents and friends. A
Christmas tree was one of the features,
and there was something on it for all of
the papas and mammals, whether present
or not. 1t was a very pleasant concep-
ton on the part of the teachers and has
given employment to the little boys and
girls for some time past.
