REVISION or THE TARIFF
Believes Time Has Arrived to Take
Preliminary Steps.

SeSfS'
The time has come when we should
prepare for revision of the tariff.
This should be, and indeed must be.
preceded by careful investigation. 1t
is peculiarly the province of congress
and not OF the president, and indeed
peculiarly the province of the house
of representatives, to originate a tar
tf bill and to determine upon its
terms; and this l fully realize Yet
1t seems to me that before the close
OF this session provision should be
made for collecting full material
which will enable the congress elect
ed next fall to act Immediately after
1t comes into existence. This would
necessitate some action by the con-
gress at its present session, perhaps
in the shape of. directing the proper
committee to gather the necessary in.

These government agents, If it is
not deemed wise to appoint individ
uals from outside the public service
might with advantage be members OF
the executive departments, designated
by the president, on his own motion
or on the request of the committee to

am of the opinion, however, that
one change in the tariff could with
advantage be made forthwith. Our

RESIGNS THE RECORDERSHP
Mrs. Mary Louise Lang Quits Office
In Superior Lodge.
From Fridays Daily.

~ IoIu Iludy D~aAy'
Mrs. Mary Louisa Lang rendered
her resignation as recorder to Superior
lodge No. 5, ID. of H., at their last
meeting held on Wednesday evening,
which was accepted. Mrs. Lang has
served in this office for nearly four
teen years and in her retirement the
lodge loses most competent, pains
taking and obliging officer. She has
made splendid record and was faith
full in every detail of her work. The
grand chief of honor being present at
this meeting, complimented Mrs. Lang
for her very efficient work and said
that she regretted very much and
was very sorry that Mrs. Lang felt
that she wanted to resign as she was
the oldest recorder, in point of SER
vice. i'm the state and that her reports
and statements had always been care
fully and correctly pepared and at
all times were ready and submitted
to the grand recorder promptly, which
was very much appreciated by them
Mrs. Lang had already in December
last rendered her resignation, but at
this time the lodge would not ac-
cept it. She was greatly interested
in her work and gave it her best at
tention and great deal of her time
was spent in this work, SO she now
feels that she wishes to retire and
have a rest and have more time for
herself and perhaps have better
health. Miss Mabel Nelson was elected
to fill the office for the unexpired
term. Mrs. Della Stevens also re-
signed as chief of honor on account
of moving away. This office will be
filled at the next meeting. Mrs
Elizabeth Schroeder, G. c. of H., gave
a very able address which was lis
tened to with much interest.

GOLD ON SIBLEY MANS FARM
XHEUHis
Owner Has an Idea That HIS Proper
ty ID Worth Millions.

LIE Sueur, MIMI, March 25.-Fred
.Breitkreutz, a farmer living west of
LIE Sueur, was in town today in a
state of excitement, exhibiting a speci-
men of gold ore which he had taken
from rocky ledge on his farm in
Sibley county.
Some time ago Breitkreutz sent to
friends in Colorado for a sample of
gold and said nothing about his own
mine till the sample arrived and he
could make comparison and ascertain
the truth. The samples are alike in
his estimation, and if he is right in
his conjecture his farm is worth mil
lions.

: MAKE IT YoURELF.
Tells Our Readers How to Mix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

Rheumatism Cure.
A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York Daily paper the following
valuable yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, three
ounces
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each mea!
land at bedtime.
Hestates that 1.-The ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
|ularly for a rev days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
fishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
turing the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rhuematism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt be, greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits. the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.

Several calls were made, and finally
he agreed to pray if would keep still

CHAPTER |.
Mr. Leach is the best known personal
worker along religious lines in the city
of Detroit. He goes anywhere to save
man from sin and pleads with him
to accept the Christ as his personal
unorganized sect that believe, or talk,
that their citizenship is in heaven and
therefore they should not vote
"Mr Leach, admire your labor in
going down to the gutter and picking
out the old hulks, but while you are
holding them up L want you to cast a
Prohibition vote to save the million boys
and girls that are going where those men
stumbled"
That is the way | began with him.
Il am SO busy helping men to Christ
to show His power to save drunken
wrecks, that | cannot vote"
That was his answer. -.
That is equal Mr. Leach, to stating
that it is essential to damn hundred
thousand boys and girls that you and
a few other workers like yourself may
have few show examples That's sim
ply devilish God does not need any
examples"
MY kingdom is not of this world"
True, but have you read For this
reason was the Son of Man made mani
fest that He might destroy the works
of the devil? Do you believe His
manifestation was in vain?"
"He did not complete His work
