The announcement OF the coming OF
the John F. Stowe monster pavilion,
Uncle Toms Cabin Company, which
will appear in Sank Centre on Mon
day, August 20, on lot opposite W. s..
Dean & Co. g warehouse, will be pleas
ant news to our amusement goers. This

. DOUBTFUL

The Melrose Beacon intimates that
there will be opposition to Paul Ahles
as county superintendent of schools.
We doubt it, because he is not only
personally popular, but has made a
most efficient superintendent. He is
giving close attedtion to his duties,
and is keeping the Office out of poll
tics. We rather suspect the threat is
made to force him into supporting the
machine, which is just now working
under full pressure. We confidently
believe that the people of this county.
regardless of party affiliations, will
give him loyal support, and that his
defeat cannot be accomplished. He
is the right man in very important
place st. Cloud Journal-Press.
Dir. Ahles is held in high esteem in
this section Of the county, and his
work throughout all the school dis
tricts is most commendable. Why
change?

Molrose Man for Horse Stealing.

A message from Parker's Prairie,
Otter Tail county, states that M. j.
Common of Melrose, and man named
Nee of Long Prairie, were arrested
there on the charge of horse stealing.
1t is alleged that they were driving
through the country on their way to
the Dakota harvest fields, and while
passing through Round Prairie town
ship, found fine horse running loose
by the roadside. The horse had a
halter on and they attached the animal
to their outfit and drove several miles,
when they turned in at farm house
and succeeded in trading it for another
horse, which they led as far as Parker's
Prairie, where they were overtaken by
a constable and the owner of the
horse.-St. Cloud Times.

A PROGRESSIVE BANK
Constantly Improving Their Service.

The fact that it has been difficult to
transfer money to Canada without
some delay, and the burden OF ex-
change charges on the other side, has
brought about negotiations resulting
in closer relations between the banks
of the two countries.
Through the arrangement recently
effected the First National Bank OF
Sank Centre is prepared to send any
amount OF money to any section OF
Canada for immediate payment with
out deduction for exchange on the
other side.
Banks are organized by local people
for the purpose Of transacting all OF
the financial business OF the COM
munity, and should be patronized in
every money transaction, whether 1t be
in the nature of large or small loan
or deposite or the mere sending of an
amount of money to another city OF
foreign country.
The First National Bank has also
made mutual arrangements with the
leading banks throughout the whole
United States whereby it can transfer
money by telegraph using private
cipher code which makes it absolutely
safe.

SALUTE
Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. IS, 1906

The whole United States and quite
number OF people from st. Paul are
in Minnesota's metropolis today.
The sunlight is flashing from $4,000
medallions in $4,000 blue coat lapels.
The bands are not playing "The
Girl left Behind me,' as they did
in 81, for most of the "girls" area
here, and you can bet something
handsome they are keeping close tab
on the "boys.' 1t is pathetically
funny to see the mild meekness with
which grizzly old veteran, who has
faced death in thousand forms, with
smile in his eye and laugh on his
lip will say: "Yes, my DEAR" when
one OF those "spectacled girls" de-
clare: snow, John, stop your monkey
shines and come to bed.'' Wherever
you can find quiet corner you can
find these gray haired "girls" gossip
ling together like giggling school girls.
Time is great equalizer. The boys
haven't half as much hair on the top
CT their heads as they used to have
but there is twice as much on their
faces. There are not as many
muskets in the line as there were
in the old days but there are ten
times as many crutches. Sabers are
not flashing but there are lot of
walking sticks.
There are no surnames here in this
atmosphere of universal commonality.
You hear: s.Hello, Tom," "Darned
| if it amt Babe" and so on. / saw
this morning well groomed, clean
cut. smooth shaven man whose name
at the bottom of check in the world
of finance is worth a cool million,
whose tailor made uniform cost
| hundred dollars if it cost a cent and
with diamond in his cravat almost
as big as hazel nut, grab grim,
rugged mountaineer in his arms and
hug him with as much fervor as
youth would embrace his sweetheart
and. kicking the old fellows lunch

shouted: eff it amt Brocky 1 am a
ghost. l haven't seen you since
you logged me off the field at Spotsyl-
vania with bullet half as big as a
hens egg in my gizzard."
And the kids, bless their hearts;
they are having the time of their lives
as they keep step with grand-dad in
the parade. Pages could be filled
with joyous greetings, pathetic meet
ings, and humorous incidents.
The Grand Army of the Republic
las struck twelve in the Minneapolis
parade today. 1t is probably the last
march of this the most unique and
greatest organization among all the
nations of earth. There will be many
more reunions, but do not think
ever again these fast-aging warriors
will try the fatigue of an extensive
marching parade.
1t goes without saying that Mime
apolis has done herself proud in the
way of entertainment, and the veterans
have captured and hold undisputed
possession OF the town.

The news columns of the press of the
United States-indeed, of the whole civ
ilized world, judging by the cabled for
elgn comment-are replete with con-
vincing evidence of the fact that the
greatest lesson of the San Francisco
catastrophe has been instinctively felt
and acted upon. That lesson, as the
eloquent sermon of DR.. Emil G. Hirsch
tells US. is the solidarity, the brother
hood of man. The dire calamities of
nature are calculated to give man an
acute sense Of his insignificance and
helplessness in the presence of elemen-
tai forces. Scientists estimate the loss
Of life from earthquakes and attendant
disturbances during the last nineteen
centuries at about 100000 persons, while
the loss of wealth is beyond computa-
ton. But who can estimate the amount
of moral and social benefit which the
pity and sympathy and generosity ex-
cited by the visitations have permanent
troll nature; we can but adapt ourselves
to her laws and conditions. But we
can do infinitely more than we have yet
done to Danish unnecessary suffering
from society, to equalize opportunities
and to base our institutions on the prin-
etple of human equality and fraternity

The state being q producer Of gold, it
enabled them, to adhere to gold pay

to melt it, a process which detracts but
little from its value: so the banks

The Topeka state journal., 1906-04-25

Just one week ago this morning the
world was startled with the inteIli-
gence that san Francisco. the metro
polls of the Pacific coast. had been
paralyzed by an earthquake Earth
qalakes Of a serious nature have been
such rarity in this land of ours that
few people realized the awfulness of
the news. But when the report came
that the city was burning and that
there was no way to fight the flames,
men knew what calamity it meant,
and from all over the nation went up
a prayer for San Francisco.
Wednesday went by with little de-
tails except that great buildings were
mass of flames and stricken people
were trying to fee from the city.
Thursday came and went and still the
flames ragged, and not until Friday did
the wires bring assurance that they
had been stopped. but with only a
fourth of the great city saved.
The wires had scarcely ceased
vibrating from bringing the first of the
dreadful news on Wednesday before
relief was offered by sympathizing
people. and day by day mighty mass
of wealth piled up. was transformed
into food, and hurried to the stricken
city by the Golden Gate From all
over the country has come the food
of wealth. For four days thousands of
men stopped their business and gave
their time to hurrying relief to the
west. Never before has there ever
been such an outpouring Of sympathy
in substantial form as has been evil
denced by the American people in the
last week, and the sympathy has been
genuine. States. cities and indi-
viduals have given, not to advertise
their resources or for purposes of
vainglory. but out of the fuIlness Of
their hearts to aid a suffering people.
Not even yet do we know the full
extent of the tremendous loss--it may
never be computed; but we know that
it was the greatest calamity of it's
kind in the history of America. The
Galveston disaster was far worse in its
sacrifice of human life-for the San
Francisco horror is freer of tragedy
than was at first supposed-but in its
destruction of property, and in the
terror that it begot in the hearts Of
hundreds of thousands, the San Fran
cisco earthquake and fire was the
worst in American history.
But the western skies are already
Frightening. The ruins are not yet
through smouldering, and already
plans are under way to build a better
city than ever before by the Golden
Gate. And it will be done.
