forIas leaves of autumn succumb to

the pioneers. One by one they are
slowly crossing the river to the shore
OF the great. unknown, going to join
the innumerable army that was, and

never has been any great achievement
performed in the world but what the

and why should not the pioneer set

WEDNESDAY, JUNE ~, 1906:
TAL]LMAN's RESOLUTION I.


At last Monday nights council
meeting the newly elected coun-
cilmen placed themselves square
ly on record in favor of saloons.
If there had existed any doubt
on that point, Tallman's :resolu-
tion removes it. The portion OF
that resolution which points to
the result of the recent special
election as vindication of the sa-
loon policy is respectfully re-
ferred to certain temperance
people of First ward who opposed
Prof. Hilleboe and to the Will:
mar Republican Gazette which
declared after. the election ''that
in no sense was the result a
slump for saloons. The effort
made in the last paragraph to
throw off the personal RESPONSE
bility which the law places upon
the council in the granting of sa-
loon licenses indicates shirking
from meeting the issue, however,
which is not becoming to so vail
ant a champion of the saloon in
terests as Mr.. Tallman.
The resolution bears within it.
self an admission of the fact that
the big five on the council acted
within their province and lawful
rights in turning down the appli-
cations for saloon license as they
thought best, Tallman favors a
restriction of the number of sa-
looms to four, evidently on the
theory that only four saloons
would be less evil than a larger
number. If the council now
would refuse to grant some licen-
ces in order to partially reduce
an admitted evil and feel that it.
were justified in so doing, why
should it not feel equally Justified
in a continued TOTAL REDUCTION:
of the evil when the vote taken
and. the state law gives it the op-.
tion of so doing? 5' ~
Again, if Tallman feels that he
would be justified in refusing an
application tor saloon license if
there existed any doubt in his
mind that the applicant would
run an orderly and ''law-abid~
ing saloon" land this in spite Of
the fact that a supposed majority
of the voters of the city had voted
that he might why are not the
big five justified in refusing all
applications when they feel NOR
ally certain that every applicant
would run an evil place and they
sincerely doubt that such a thing
as a ''law-abiding saloon" is pos
sible of realization?
The big five on the council did
the right thing in knocking Tall
mans cunningly worded resolu-
tion into a cooked hat. That his
proud boast that Willmar will
have saloons by July 1 will be
as sorry looking need not be
doubted.

He sent in mail order for some pills

He took the sweet peas and planted
the: pills. The sweet peas produced
appendicitis; the pills have not pro-

Chicago.*

=, What great man did Chicago pro-
duce, anyway? Swift and Armour?
sure. I beg your pardon. most
forgot about the embalmed beef.
Oh! music and art, hey? Well, I
admit the city folks have got better
chance than us .fellers to hear swell
music and see exhibitions of fine art.
But how Is it that when the artist
wants to produce something great he,
shuts himself off from the crowded
streets or makes fer the kentry, the
ocean or the mountains to draw his
inspiration from nature? And what is
art anyway but a. small meagre repro
duction of the grand and beautiful
things which are found in nature and
humanity.
And as fer as music is concerned, I
reckon, there is more real music in the
morning song of the milkmaid, the
rble of the thrush and signing of the
winds, than in any Apiece brass
band that ever played on the streets
of Chicago. It's the real stuff, boys,
and none of your limitations, nohow.
But talking along this line. Amt
it queer bout most of US folks any
how? How we'll maybe use up all the
exclamation points in the type case in
our admiration of the work of some
landscape painter, who has produceda a
beautiful sunset fer instance, and then
probably before we get hum We'll have
a chance to see a real sunset, more
beautiful, more luminous, more glori-
Gus, but we wont even stop to give it
or its Creator a passin' thought. ~.
Or, maybe we'll 60, to a concert and
plank down SEC or dollar hard
earned cash to hear some noted violin
ist, and as this long-haired genius
brings forth on his cat gut an. imita-
ton of the song of the birds fer in
stance, we'll clap our hands until the
line Of life in our palms are all
pounded out of shape. And them the
very next morning the lark will sing,
the doves will COO and the quail will
be CALM on it's mate from distant
hill,' but we wont even stop to listen,
snohow. Queer, aint=it? Still that's
thekind OF warped chicks us humans
are: r. IS r. ".
But to return to my argument with
that ERE city guy-well, no. reckon
yer old Uncle 81 is getting one. sided.
The facts Of the case are that there are
sensible men and there are mum skulls
in both the city and the kentry, and
each are the victims Of his surround
ings to some extent at least. There
are none of us overly wise, I reckon
so I'll jester this thing short. y

DEAR EDITOR:-I have noticed on
various occasions as how some of
these here city chaps will take whack
at us kentry folks whenever there hap
pens to be an opening, just as if we
were all about as green as the cab
bage we raise, and as if there weren't
no brains nowhere 'cept right here in
Chicago. Now I 'aint goin' to gain
say but there is heap lot of smart
men right in this big town, fer, I reck-
on, it takes more than greenhorn to
rect these mighty sky-scrapers, build
draw-bridges, speculate in. stocks, mix
cocktails or be a. first class boodling
alderman. They have got the brains
here, I haint denyin' that. And along
these lines I low they know more 'an
all the rural population put together.
But what I have taken my voice and
raised my pen to counterdict is that
the city has got monopoly on gray
matter, fer reckon that that is some
thin the trust can't control the distri-
button of nohow.
The other day happen to run up
agin one OF them ere young lights
bright, glitterin' lights. You have
seen 'em probably, specially sech of
you as take in summer boarders.
Them ere fellers with .gunny-sack
trousers on his underpins and a bright
rolly-bolly pipe in their mouth, don
cherknow. Anyway he gave me lot
of hot air about the farmer. After
sitting out all superhuous talk bout
hay and whiskers and sech, the net
proceedssof his song and dance was
that about all the farmer knew was to
follow his plow all day and to roll in
to bed at night and that was all the
farther his thoughts would CO..
Well, low .thoI pitied, the chap
some, got most riled at his conceit,
and reckon it's natural to. stick up
fer your own kind So ses thet if a
farmer knew enough to work all day
and 60 to bed with his family when
night came, he knew>a good deal more
about the artof life than one yor. two
city chaps as I have seen as worked
eight hours . day and then spent the
rest of their time studying saloon dec.
orations thru the bottom of q beer
scho ooner. I admit that the kentry
folks perhaps haint as we'll posted
when. it comes to keepin' track of the
prize fights, the horse races, the latest
cut in collars, the last antics OF the
Katzenjammer Kids, or the meanin' Of
the word 'sskiddoo' and sech like; but
when 1t comes to real independent
thought, to . knowledge ID literary,
political or social questions, ETC., I
could take this bright light" to fell:
lers as live on the farm or in the keh-
try town that would give him sech q
chase that he wished he had never

AN UNUSUAL DONATION.
A Barrel Of Rats Coming to the Ma
tional Museum.

Word has been received at the National
Museum that q barrel OF rats has been
shipped to that institution from Manila,
They are coming in pickle" sa-
Some months ago rats were very nurner-
Gus In Manila and the surrounding parts
of Luzon, and many of them We're affected
with disease which was sometimes COM
municated to man. The danger Of a wide
spread pestilence induced the health au-
thorities to offer bounty Of half cent
(gold) for each rat brought in The natives
set to work with a will, killing. trapping
and snaring rats, and the result was that
several thousand were received daily for
several weeks by the health department.
About this time Maj Edgar A. Mearns.
a surgeon in the United States army and
an enthusiastic naturalist and collector.
arrived In Manila and became attached to
the board of public health. He soon perceived
that not all of the animals brought In were
common house rats but that many of them
had considerable scientific value and that
some belonged to species wholly unknown
to naturaiists. An empty whisky barrel
was obtained and partially filed with for
malln. and for several weeks DR.. Mearns
spent his leisure hours in sorting over rats,
preserving those which were OF value in
the barrel Of formalin. This was filled in
time and has been shipped to the National
Museum through the quartermaster gen
rival is awaited with good deal of inter-
est by the mammalogists of the museum, as
1t will undoubtedly contain the most COM
plete collection of the small mammals of
the Manila district that has ever been made
in the Philippine Islands.
