The population of the state is con-
stantly increasing and if some provision
is not made for the future, conditions
will be much worse next winter
than the are at the present. The
Northern Pacific railroad is still
furnishing coal from it's Roslyn
mines to the eastern section of
the state, but the announcement
of the intention Of the company
to withdraw it's coal from the market
has already been made.
If the legislature will take up the
question of coal shortage and probe 1t
without regard to politics the reasons
for the present conditions will be re-
vealed and provision can then be made
for the future.

Through all my life with relish
My morning glass Of milk have taken
Ny faith-I say 1t with a sigh!-
In milk has been quite rudely shaken.
For, since pure food became the rage
And argument grows hot and hotter.
I read on many a printed page
That milk Is largely chalk and water.

Has neither candor In t nor truth,
So public judgment is agreed on.

In making "old farm apple butter"

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 11.-At their
biennial encampment just ended at Co
lumbus. Ohio, the knights of Macca-
bees have decided to add picked body
of men from the uniform rank of the
order to the military pageant at the
jamestown exposition, to be held at
Hampton Roads near Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, this year. The decision is I'M
usual and demonstrates the widespread
popularity of the exposition, inasmuch
as the order does not make practice of
holding yearly encampments. THESE
are a biennial feature of the meetings
and ordinarily the next encampment
would have been held in 1908. In view
of the fact that there will be a great
military display at the exposition, at
tended by military delegations from
nearly all the great fraternal orders
of the country, there was little hesita-
ton at the recent encampment in au-
thorizing a departure from the custom
of the order.
This decision will bring to the ex-
position at least $500 knights with
their wives. Five hundred members of
the Ladies of the Maccabees, an auXil-
larry order, will also attend the expo
sition, taking part in the drills on Lee
Parade. Both bodies will be brilliant
ly uniformed and their smart drills
will add greatly to the attractiveness

IN SWEDISH DIALECT.

A welcome novelty in the way Of
theatrical entertainment will be shown
at the Keylor Grand, Jan. IA, when
Manager Fred W. Falkner will present
"Tilly Olson a Swedish dialect play
that is in every sense wide departure
from the, conventional stage pictures
of the always attractive Scandinavian
types of character The author has
taken for his central figure young
Swedish girl in America, and has al
lowed the virtue and admirable quail
tiles of the masculine Scandinavian,
heretofore played upon" so constant
ly, to pass without notice in this
drama. This will be an agreeable
change to lovers of Swedish dialect
comedies. The only Swedish charac-
ter in "Tilly Olson" is lilly herself.
Tilly is young Swedish girl, living
with family of Minnesota farmer
folk, and obliged to earn her daily
bread by serving in mental capacity.
She has been robbed of her inherit
ance, unknown to her and slaves for
the very persons who have stolen her
property and driven her to per-
secution, but lilly believes in the
golden rule and when oppOrtuni-
ty affords returns good for evil.
Later in the play she leaves to seek
her fortunes in the city. There she
is instrumental in preventing the rob-
berry of a bank and is rewarded hand
somely by the bank officials This
sum enables her to marry her sweet
heart, a young Minnesota farmer
and purchase a modest farm. Be-
fore the end of the play, Tilly's prop
erty is restored to her and it is found
that she Is the owner of vast copper
deposits and is rich beyond her fond
est dreams. The play is amusing
throughout, the situations being very
laughable, and the pathos only of suf-
ficient quantity to add strength and
interest to the story. Tilly's keen
and ready wit, and her native imper-
turbility are ever in evidence. The
comedy is in four acts and eight
scenes The first act is laid in the
interior of country farm house. The
second act has three scenes laid
in and around the farmhouse. In
the third act, the action of the play
occurs in the city of Minneapolis, the
first scene showing Loring Park, the
second scene the exterior of Mime
apolis bank and the third scene the
bank vault The fourth act reveals
the interior of the Swedish church in
Minneapolis A fine quartette is en-
ployed in the church scene. All of
the scenery has been painted by
Messrs Moses & Hamilton of Broad
way Theatre, New York. The name
part in "Tilly Olson" will be played
by Miss Adelaide Harlan, comedien-
ne of rare merit. A strong company
will be provided, including the gen.
timely clever boy actor Master George
Falkner, who will introduce his artis-
tic singing and dancing specialties.
"Tilly Olson" is an established sue
cess having been played successfully
in all the large cities and has to it's
credit the record of more than one
hundred performances in Chicago
alone.

Uniform Rank to Represent
MaCCabeeS at the Exposition

of the military feature of this great
historical celebration.
The members of the uniform rank of
the Maccabees will be quartered in
tents in the general encampment on
the grounds. These tents will be fur
nished to the visitors at a low price
and everything possible will be done
to make their stay enjoyable.
Drills of purely military charac-
ter will be judged by the army Of
ficers detailed for the purpose by the
United States government.
!. Major General w. H. Sletzer, COM
manding the uniform rank expects to
arrangements with the officials of the
exposition for the great encampment.
While he is here the date of the Macca-
bees visit will be fixed; and a day
set aside on the exposition calendar to
be known as Maccabees Day.
The knights of the Maccabees is one
of the largest fraternal orders in the
| world. The Ladies of the Maccabees is
| one of the largest auxiliary fraternal
! bodies. Both bodies attended the st.
Louis fair and were highly praised for
the excellence and military precision
of their drills. Drills in which the
! ladies will compete with the men will
probably be a feature of the Macca-
! bees visit at jamestown.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE HEIRT THE HooRAH."

1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah" was born
at the Keylor Grand last night to Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Lacy, and seeing the
light of day in that environment OF
wholesome people, big hearted, true,
jolly and breathing spirit of western
loyalty, his prospects for the future
are bright indeed.
The father, Joe Lacy, was greatly
affected when told that he had become
father and when the house was
full of friends insisted he should say
few words to them, it was with
slightly choking tones.
"You can see how happy l am at the
birth of the little rascal and hope that
before the end of 1907, you all shall
have enjoyed the same pleasure said
Joe Lacy. "You can possibly imagine
how l feel for this, has happened to
me several hundred times"
He then concluded with the stere.
otyped finish:
Il am sure you are as anxious to
see the little fellow as am, so thank
you one and ALL"
The Heir to the Hoorah" is great
play, comedy rich in dialogue and
climaxes, and with a story that is
pathetic and not overdone. The lines
are strong and make you feel glad
you live in the west and you breathe
in the same spirit as Paul Armstrong
surely must have done when he gave
the stage this excellent production.
The presenting company is strong
in every way. Guy Bates Post is Guy
Bates Post, which fact is sufficient
assurance that his work is admirable.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The Democrats have begun to sit up and
take notice and dream OF the time when they
will have another victory. Ever notice that
the Democrats always blame the Republicans
for every little thing that goes wrong? If the
crops are short, it's all the fault Of the Repubi-
can administration. II the price OF grain islow,
the Drafted Republicans are totally to blame.
OF course if the price is way up, it's the supply
and demand that gives the farmers what they
have coming for their grain. Hmoney is scarce,
If the country is SO prosperous that there's not
enough money in circulation to keep things
agoing, blame the Republican One Democrat
said to the Independent editor, "Oh, Lust wish
that this was election year. We'd lambast you
Republicans
The Independent editor received letter
this week from A. J. Powers, President Of the
Powers Clearing House, and prominent New
York Democrat in which he says, considerable
discussion has been going on lately as to what
ought to be done to bring about good old
fashioned Democratic victory in the Presidential
campaign of next year and we should like to
this important subject We have little to say
on in reply to Mr. Powers letter, but might
simply cite him to 1898, when thousands
there was no work and no money. Business
were mighty hard and the working classes were
down at night. Mr.. Power, if you want good
old fashioned victory, just Il ok up the records
OF those days-you Democrats surely cannot be
SO forgetful and lest you forget, just Jog your
memory little.
