ments. one for hot water and one for cold

be done without making them finicky. They
should take pleasure in having clean hands

their hair nicely combed. The tiny brushes
and combs for the infants hair are familiar
to all. Care should be taken not to wound
the scalp in using these fine combs on the
tender scalps of infants. The brush ordi-
narily will be sufficient for the first few
months. The hair soon thickens, and in q
year or two demands the services Of good

A million dollars is a tidy sum
for the state of Minnesota to pay
for the proposed 'semi-centennial ex-
position. Better. put it into state
farm schools or any other sort of
educational appropriation that is
feasible. Some people would like to
know whether the big sums spent
for gate money and privileges at our
state fair every year is all used up
for premiums and running expenses.
The people who patronize these
agricultural horse trots and their
attendant schemes are the ones to
pay the bills, and if St. Paul and
Minneapolisswant to get up an ex-
position they. can do as other ex-
position. towns do pay the big end
of the cost.

The letter of General Passenger
Agent Cults of the M. & st. L. R.
r., represents in readable form the
principal objections urged against
the passage of the 2-cent rate bill.
Mr.. Cults is an accomplished rail-
road operator and as such has a
right to be heard on a matter vi
tally affecting the interest of his
company. The M. & St. L. is one
of several lines which are running
lines in parts of the state somewhat
sparsely settled. Anyone who has
travelled much between this city and
Watertown will find no difficulty in
coming to the conclusion that this
100 miles of road makes little if any
profit on Its passenger business at
even three cents mile. Neverthe-
less there is pretty we'll grounded
opinion that the railroads are pay
ing enough in passes and rebates
to equalize all they would lose by
the reduction for which the people
are clamoring. Cut out the passes
and rebates, and the people will
have to take their chances as to new
roads and better train accomo-
dations.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL

ST. Paul. Feb. 1S-Time brings its
revenge During the campaign last
fall when the railroad and warehouse
commission was investigating for the
purpose of reducing freight rates, Mr.
Manahan was very obstreperous in
asking questions. He finally became
so obnoxious that Attorney General
Young called upon Chairman Mills CT
the railroad commission to suppress
him, which Mr. Mills accordingly did
and he was barred from further hear
ing. Since the legislature has begun
its session Senator Sundberg has
raised the committee which investi-
gates the cost of the railroads AMI
gives a latitude for Mr.. Manahan's
questions Senator Sundberg's com
mittee has selected him to apply the
probe and he has had Chairman Mills
on the stand in spite of his suppress
sion and | fancy that he enjoys the
turn of affairs very much. He has
more latitude than he ever could have
hoped for under the railroad and ware
house commission alone.
The house made special order one
day last week of the reciprocal de-
murrage bill and in spite of very
sharp debate action was postponed.
Representative Nolan of Mower cOun-
ty was very vigorous in urging an i'm
mediate vote on the bill but he did
not succeed.
The beginning of a good deal of i'm
portant legislation has occurred the
past week For instance, the capitol
approaches bill has been offered in
the house, appropriating $2,00O,OO0 in
twenty-year certificates.
The Great Northern road has been
having some strenuous work in the
courts the past week. It has gone be
fore Judge Iochren Of the federal
court to ask to have the suit dismissed
preventing their issuing $60.000,0 00
stock. The house has also started an
investigation Of the Great Northern
ore deal and Mr. Hill has been on the
witness stand relative to the sale Of
the iron lands He was very vigorous
and very emphatic in testifying that it
would be positive ruin if the sale OF
those lands could rot be consum-
mated. AS matter of fact there
seems to be good deal of ruin in the
air this year.
The senate railroad committee has
recommended the passage of bill for
bidding the use of passes. | do not
know whether it goes into effect while
the present passes are good or will
wait until after they have expired.

MISSIONARY ZEAL IN THE PACIFIC.

Mesdames Cowgirl and Parish en-
tertained the Methodist missionary
society on Tuesday, and served re-
freshments at the close of the ses-
sion.
The Hervey Islands and Raratonga
were visited, Mrs. A. E. King being
the pilot on the voyage Mesdames
King, H. Buecher and Apitz gave a
great deal of information regarding
the islands. Cannibals were en-
countered who baked men and chill
dren to eat with their vegetables,
tho when John Williams arrived
with the gospel these same people
became earnest Christians. Then an
embassy came from dne of the AS
trail Islands, 800 miles distant, say
ing that their land was in darkness
and begging the missionary to come
and bring the gospel light. John
Williams sent some of his native
i teachers there. and in few months
the boats returned with cargo
of discarded idols. This success in
spired the people with such mission
airy, zeal. that they raised SO, 900 to
carry the gospel to other islands,
and they themselves not yet five
years out of savagery. A good ex-
ample for Christians of maturer
growth.
Mrs. Moses read of John Williams
the energetic missionary, who built
towns, churches, boats, etc., almost
without any tools to work with, and
taught Christ to the natives while
he worked.
| Mrs. Sour read a paper on the
Indian jubilee and the remarkable
blessing that had attended the work
commenced there fifty years ago.
/ The annual thankoffering meeting
will be held next month and it would
be well to count your blessings"
and make your offerings in accord
ance with them. Mrs. belong was
appointed secretary.

Frank C. Whitney of the Mar
shall News Messenger has recently
accepted position as superintend-
ent of the Randall Printing Co. of
St. Paul. The younger Whitney is
gentleman and has had an excel
lent training in the matter of both
the mechanical and artistic produc-
ton of printing and the equally i'm
portant feature of actual cost. He
ought to succeed in his new position,
after a twenty-five years apprentice
ship at his fathers office in Mar

ers in Minnesota in the same class
with Chas. G.. Whitney, who will
now have the sole charge of the

is easily explained by the undisputed
fact that while the country printing
Office is pleasant to operate in some
respects, it rarely pays large divi-
dends to the'operator.

The four years contest over the
admission of Reed Smoot to seat
in the United States senate ended
last Wednesday with his admission.
Smoot is not charged with being a
polygamist but his right to seat
was contested on the ground that he
was one of the apostles of the Nor
mon church and therefore coun-
tenanced polygamy and was an up
holder Of crime. The majority in
sisted that the senate should exclude
no man on account of his religious
opinions, the vote being AZ to 22 in
Shoots favor. Senator Nelson voted
with the majority, Senator Clapp
voting for exclusion. Politically, all
of the Democrats but three voted
for exclusion. Assuming that Smoot
was faithful to one wife and not an
advocate of polygamy, it looks to
the average citizen as tho his exclu-
sion would be very much like perse-
cution

moters of the st. Paul scheme TO

butte to H. P.
'All his life he has worked for
other people and the city he
loves, and they have rewarded
him splendidly they let him keep
right on working. EIf he secures
the approaches, and he is liable
to succeed, they will let him
walk over them if he will keep
off the grass. Thousands have
reaped the results of his labors,
but he is not as we'll off today fl
nancially, morally, or intellect
ually, as he was fifty years ago.
Yet he will keep right on work
ing for..others until he dries up
and blows away. If he had
worked one-quarter as hard for
himself as he had for others he
would be worth a million, and
yet | am not sure he has chosen
the wiser part. After all, when

good he has done, and the
friends he.has made. cold Hail.
has gone to the limit in all these
lines. He has had more fun
than anybody. Thousands hold
him in the most affectionate re-
gard. Every country newspaper
man in the state loves the hoary
old sinner. He has a larger de-
post in the bank of friendship,
thesonly bank whose checks are
honored in the mystic land be-
yond the grave than any man
ever know. What profteth it
man if he owneth railroad and
all his neighbors calleth him a

HOW The TOWNS WERE NAMED.

ED. GAZETTE: With your per-
mission / will add a supplement to
the recent letter Of F. v. Hotchkiss
on the naming Of townships in the
county.
Three Lakes township was organ
lied April 4th, 1876, with James
Watson, Robert Parker and one
other as supervisors and named be-
cause of chain of lakes in the town
which had given the vicinity the
general name of Three Lakes.
The township of Lamberton was
organized April 1st, 1871, with J. H.
Albeit, Hiram Small and John
Pierce as supervisors and named
Lamberton for Hon. H. W. Lander
ton, one of the capitalists who built
the Winona & st. Peter R. R. and
who had large land interests in the
county.
The town of Gales was organized
July 18th, 1876 with A. ]. Porter,
C. j. Nelson and ]. ]. Kelsey as
supervisors and named Gales for S.
S. and A. L. Gale, the first settlers.
The Gale brothers were from Bos-
ton and S. S. Gale is still living on
the original homestead. Mr.. A. L..
Gale resides in Redwood Falls.
The town of Shutdown was organ
lied July 1st, 1873. with Samuel
Murphy, Frank Wohlford and c. B.
Guile supervisors and named from
the circumstance that when meet
ing had failed to agree on a name
one of the number, seeing the sun at
the horizon said, Let US call it
Shutdown.
The town Of North Hero was
named by B. NJ. Knight, one of the
first settlers, for an island in Lake
Champlain, N. Y, his former home.
Mr.. Knight died some years ago in
his home in this county.
The town of Granite Rock was
organized July 8th, 1889, with Peter
Nancy, James Dolan and w. w.

Mr.. CUTS ON THE TWO-CfNT RATE
From Letter Addressed to State Sen
dtOr ]. F. Calhoun of st. Paul.

While a great deal has been sale
at the different hearings before the
railroad committees from a strictly
railroad point of view, very little
has been said from the viewpoint of
the property owner, tax payer and
citizen, and as such, | feel it my
duty to enter protest against the
contemplated two cent fare bill and
all other anti-railroad legislation
feeling that such cannot fail to be
very much more harmful than bene-
fetal, not only for the present, but
for all future time, and any one
who has the true interests of our
great state at heart and is not in
fuenced by selfish political ambi-
tions, must upon sober reflection see
the folly of taking a step that will
retard or stop railroad construction.
the greatest need of our state at
. this time.
Fully one-half of the area of the
state is at present without any
transportation facilities. Suppose
we do little figuring and see where
we are going to land happen to
have information about the proposed
construction of about $50 miles of
new railroad thru a portion Of the
state which needs it badly, but the
plans are held in allegiance, pendir G
the action of the legislature The
construction of this line would pro-
duce the following results: Advance
the value of ali land within at least
six miles of the right-of-way S. per
acre the first year. AS there are
1850 acres tributary to each mile of
road, the immediate increase in the
wealth of the state from that source
would be S9,60O,O00. This land would
at an early date all be cultivated,
yielding annually $4,000, 900. The
construction of the road would put
into circulation at once several nil
lions more.
'The figures above given are very
conservative, as the beneficial effect
upon land values will extend much
farther than six miles and upon a
great part the immediate advance
would exceed kS5 per acre, and it
would continue to so advance for
many years. This takes no account
of the building of towns, new indus
tries, etc., so it is quite evident that
| if no more harm is done than to stop
the building of this particular line,
the state has sold its birth-right
for mess of pottage.
Railroads cannot be built by legis-
lative enactment, but they can be so
stopped, and it is quite evident that
the time is at hand, unless conserva-
tism comes to the rescue.
Yours very truly,
A. B. CUTS

Local Option Petitions Numerous.

Local ourion petitions are coming in
SO generally and so numerously that
do not see why the temperance peo-
pie do not formulate a liquor law COW
ering the whole state. If they keep
on every county in the state will have
had a petition for local option and il
that is the case why not bunch the
whole lot in a prohibition state? The
brrweries might protest, but the cause
would win.
In spite of all the suavitv in the
legislature there is a good deal of par
tisanship. Senator Sullivan of Still
water was once a resident Of Wiscon-
sin and is quite familiar with her op-
er&tions. Wisconsin has a depart
ment connected with the state library
of general information. l should
Judge it is a very valuable department
indeed Senator Sullivan has intro
duced a bill providing for making a
department of general information, in
fact, 10 install an encyclopedia in the
state library, to transform the library
into an encyclopedia so to speak The
party 10 have this in charge is to be
selected by a library commission and
the librarian is really superseded. This
matter came up for debate last week
and was thTeshed out very thor
ougnIy The bill was debated for four
hours, the longest attention given to
any measure this winter, bat it finally
passed the senate as proposed by
Senator Sullivan and will now go tO
~ frr. IL
friends OF John King. the present
librarian, are not likely to be very
enthusiastic over the measure and
still there is such an era of harmony
that John may prove TO be the sac
rifcial lamb and have his blood Of
fered up on the altar of non-partisan-
ship.
Railroads Appeal to Courts.
It is quite evident, as l have said
before, that the railroad companies
are not going to send a lobby into
the capitol 10 defeat or fight bills.
They have come to the conclusion that
the courts give some protection and
they will invoke the courts to aid
them. The fact that they have called
upon Judge LOchren Of the federal
court to decide whether they shall
have 10 ask the permission of the
railroad commission to issue s60000.-
600 of new stock is an indication in
that direction Mr.. Hill and his at
torneys have spent large portion Of
the past week in the presence OF
court and committees of the legisla-
ture.

The waist consists of the fronts,

over into place at the left side. There
are tucks at the centre front and back
