It is reported that Tzi-hsu, the empress
dowager of China will abdcate soon. Tzi-hsu
is really remarkable woman The dowager
empress, who is Y years old, has been
supreme in Chinese affairs for many years.
Her career is remarkable one. The daughter
of a Manchu, sold in infancy by father who
ran into financial difficulties, she became at an
early age, one Of the secondary wives Of the
emperor Hienfung. She won his admiration
and affection and bore him This sh e
placed on the throne, but his brief,
poison, it is thought, causing his death. AS
there was no heir to the throne, the infant son
of Prince Chung became emperor under the
name of Kwang-su and under the regency of
Tzi-hsu, the dowager empress. In 1889 the
emperor nominally assumed full control of the
government, but nine years later, when he
issued some reform decrees the regency of the
empress dowager was restored and she has
since vigorously kept him in the background.

SIZING up HUMAN NATURE,

Editor Frank Griffin has human nature
sized up about right. He says in The Good
Thunder Herald:
1--WE wonder how many of our readers have
noticed the difference between the man who
has been married but short time and one who
has been married several years You can al
ways tell young husband from old one.
When young man has been married few
months, you will generally see him working in
the garden or fixing up about the house and
while he works he whistles, sings, occa-
sionally looks up towards the house to if
anyone is watching him. year later he is
still working in the garden out the smile has
been exchanged for frown and he occasional
ly looks up towards the house wondering why
in thunder breakfast is not ready. Another year
rolls by and his looks would sour milk, but he
is still at work, stopping occasionally to kick
the dog throw brick at the cat. The next
year we find him sitting on the front porch
smoking pipe, while his wife does the dig
ging III the garden. Now just watch our young
men, as one by one they aught in Cupid 8
net and see if this rule does not workout the
problem correctly"

SATURDAY, AUGUST y, 1907.

Another blunder has been discovered in
the laws passed by the last Legislature, by
which the filing fee Of candidates for county
officers at the primaries is raised to twenty dol
lars This is an especial hardship to officials
whose salary is nominal, like coroner and com
missioners.
Several of the newspapers are talking about
Bob Dunn for the Republican nominee for gov.
ernor next year, and his friends especially
anxious to see him "vindicated" There is no
doubt that Dunn grossly msrepresented,
but his nomination would impose unneces-
sary burden on the Republican party next time.
1t is said that J. J. Hill has lost control of
the Northern Pacific thru of friends be-
ing compelled to sell by the present depression
in stocks. If such be the case the merger liti-
cation. which at this time appeared to be some
what of farce, is fully justified There may
yet be genuine competition between the north
ern roads.
Frank G.. Curtis, Milwaukee chemist, has
said that it provides light heat and power at
price which will forever bar the of petrole
unn products. It is claimed that house may
be fitted for $780, The claims for the new bat
terry seem preposterous, but as the company
that is exploiting it has no stock for sale, the
claims may be true.
Rock efeer declares that the men of great
wealth such as he are servants and not masters
1t is probably true that the of great
wealth become tresome, and such men stay in
business simply because of the demands of the
business, but if such men are servants their
ministrations to the industrial world are not
par with those of the proverba Il" ed
ding mother-in-law.
( S
A serious strike of telegraph operators has
afflicted the country this week, and as usual
the public have been the principal sufferers.
Some day the obligations of both employers
and employed to the public will be recognized
and they will be compelled to settle their diff
ferences in some way that will not interfere
with the rights of the Innocent third party.
The wonder is that the American people have
put up with such with such senseess condi-
ton of affairs so long
I s /
1t is reported that there may be iron
range located in the northern part of Otter Tail
and the southern part of Becker counties, and
that explorations with surface instruments for
that purpose indicate large body of iron ore.
A good deal of money is being put into options
land there by practical mining In
support of the presence of iron in that part Of
the state, some biologists assert that the same
eruption which led to the formation of the
of the Vermillion range in the eastern part of
the state extended westward and formed what
known in the early biographies the
Height of Land.
