AN IMPORTANT FIND.

Through the thoughtfuIness of J.
B. Robinson, The Gazette last week
came into the temporary possession
of No. A of the Redwood Falls Mail,
issued October 1st, 1869, which Mr..
Robinson had come across in looking
over some of his old papers. Prior
to looking over this copy the writer
had been under the impression that
The Gazette dated from 1869 by vir-
tue of the fact that Col. McPhail's
short lived Redwood Falls Patriot
was printed at st. Peter in May of
that year. Friend Hotchkiss was
under the impression that the Mail
was started in 1870, but the copy
before US shows that Redwood Falls
has had a weekly paper continuously
since Sept. Is, 1869, V. C. Seward,
the editor, was a clever writer and
gave Redwood Falls good standing
from the first. Here are some items
from the number before US:
On account of muddy roads the

egg inside out before they sell it. They
are SO conscientious that they will not
sell watered stock. The rotten eggs
for manufacturing purposes come from
the big poultry plants. They are also
called egg plants, and some Of them
bear nothing but rotten eggs.
One firm set 100000 eggs last season
and Matched $4,000 chicks 1t was a
problem what to do with the remain
ing 10000 spoiled eggs. Market eggs
were low, and orders for Matching eggs

all to the manufacturers of gloves, cal
icos, wines, photograph supplies and

ROTTEN EGGS AND THEIR USES.
The city belle who throws dainty
kiss to her lover from the tips of her
kid glove fingers is literally throwing
him a rotten egg. As she kisses her
glove or chews the tips in vexation be-
cause her lover does not return the sa-
lutte she is perhaps unaware that the
glove manufacturer dresses his ..un-
dressed kids" with a mixture of old
spoiled egg in preparing them for mar
ket. They are new style gloves, but
they have the fragrance Of old style
rotten egg on them.
The wine lover lifts the wineglass,
looks through it and sees himself in
the mirror opposite. How sparkling!
How beautiful! How clear! The pro-
hibitionist points to the serpent in the
glass, but the elbow crook gulps it
down. Wine manufacturers use spoil
ed eggs to clarity wines
You lick stamp and get some spoil
ed egg for your money. The young
man kisses his girls photograph and
moweth not that the photographer has
prepared the paper with an added egg.

raven ana Hartford RoaQ the Pro-
fessed Motive for Heavy Selling.
New York, May 25.-Demoralization
accompanied by unres trained selling
of securities, caused the stock market
to be the weakest since the panic last
fall The protested motive for most
of the selling was the inference drawn
from the government suit against the
New Haven railroad for violation of
the antitrust law. There has been
much speculative buying OF stocks on
stock market gossip that assurance
might be felt of future softening of
the rigors of prosecution of the rail-
road corporations and the effect of
the new movement on the speculative
mind was dreaded. Moreover, the
weeks action of the market has dem
onstrated it's top heavy condition from
over extensions of the long interest
and the heavy profit taking already
effected by the conductors of the cam
paign. All semblance of support dis

EASTWARD RUSH CONTINUES
Half Million Laborers Returned to Eu.
rope Since October.

Half Million Laborers Returned to Eu-
rope Since October.
New York, May 25.-Immigration
authorities say that the homeward
tide of foreigners is again on the in
crease. European steamers in the
past four days have carried away not
less than 10,4O0 aliens as steerage
passengers. The weeks total is ex-
pected to reach upward of 1900.
Directly after the financial furry in
October there was a heavy rush
among the foreigners to leave the
country. During November and early
December European vessels left with
steerage compartments crowded to
oyerfiowing and leaving behind hun
dreds for whom there was no room.
For full month the outrush reached
a total of $4,000 and $4,000 weekly
and then fell off somewhat, until in
January, February and March the
weekly averages were 10000 and 49,
00O-even then being 900 and 400 per
cent greater than a year ago. With
April there was still another increase
and the May average has grown to
$4,000 weekly without any signs of
decreasing.
Statistics show that since October
between 475,000 and 100000 laborers
have departed and no let up is looked
for by the steamship companies for
some time to come. The shutting
down of factories, suspension of rail-
roads and public improvement work
and the general cessation of business
activity that has thrown thousands
out of employment are held to be re-
sponsible for the movement eastward.

KILLS ship SUBSIDY.
House Rejects Conference Report
on Postoffice Bill.
DEFEATED BY EIGHT VOTES

Scheme for Substituting Various Lines
Carrying Mails to Foreign Ports
Fails by scant Margin and Measure
Is Again Sent to Conference.
Washington, May 2 The house
rejected the conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill, 147 to
1855. This means the defeat of ship
subsidy.
The subsidy feature was opposed by
Messrs. Stafford (Kan.), Small IN. c.
and Finley Is. CO. and the system of
weighing mails provided for in the
bill was condemned by Mr. Murdoch
(Kan).
Expressing regret that he was COM
PEELED to "break" with his Democratic
colleagues on the subsidy proposition
Mr.. Hobson (Ala.) vigorously support
ed it, saying it was a matter of ma
tional Importance as distinguished
from gratuity to private interests.
When the time came for vote Mr..
Williams insisted on roll call and
the ayes and nays were ordered.
The announcement of the result of
the ballot was greeted with vociferous
applause by the opponents of the re-
port. SO close was the result that on
request of Mr.. Overstreet a recapitu-
lation was ordered. This disclosed
the vote as follows: Yeas 145, nays,
156. Thereupon Mr.. Overstreet moved
to disagree to the senate amendments
and ask further conference, which
motion brought to his feet Mr.. Moon,
who insisted that having been defeat
ed, Mr.. Overstreet could not under
the rules be recognized to make a mo-
ton in connection with the bill. Speak
er Cannon overruled the point.
The amendments then were dis
agreed to and a further conference
with the senate asked.
The disagreement of the house Of
representatives to the ocean mail sub
vention amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill was laid before the
senate and a further conference was
ordered, the senate conferees being
instructed to insist on the disputed
amendments.

cursion from Minneapolis to Inter-
national Falls, via the N. P. and
M. & l. railways, for the purpose
of giving the members of the club
an opportunity of visiting several
of the towns along the line of the
M. & l. railway. ... A...@
Arrangements were being made
by the Bemidji Commercial club
to entertain the visitors for several
hours while on their way to the
international boundry and also on
their return trip, it being the
intention of the Bemidji people to
give the visitors royal reception.
Today letter was received stat
ing that the excursion had been
called OFT tor the present and the
fact is greatly regretted by the
Bemidji Commercial club.
The letter regarding the excur-
y sion is as follows:
"Brainerd, May IS.
"a. G. Rutledge, Bemldjl, MINI.
"Dear Sir:-Referring to my
letter of May 4, in regard to Min

make satisfactory showing they
have concluded to postpone the
running of the excursion for the
present.

LuslTANlA BREAKS RECORD
Averages 24.83 Knots for Trip Across
the Atlantic.

the Atlantic.
New York, May 2j.Transatlantic
records for average speed and for the
shortest trip over the long course were
broken by the Cunard liner Lusitania,
which has arrived here. The big ship
anchored off the Sandy Hook light
ship in heavy fog at 1855 a. M, just
4 days, 20 hours and % minutes after
she passed Daunts rocks. This beats
the best previous time for the long
course made by her sister ship, the
Mauritania, by 8 hours and 81 min
utes and is only hour and AZ min
utes longer than the Lusitania's rec
ord of days, Is hours and 40 minutes
over the short course.
The Lusitania.s average speed for
the voyage was 24.83 knots and this
time goes far toward securing for her
owners the British mail subsidy of
$750,Q00 promised when the Lusitania
and the Mauretania each shall have
averaged 24.50 knots per hour or bet
ter for round trip passage.

Pittsburg, May 2].-Women cru
saders of the w. C. T. u, under the
protection Of special police officers,
who have caused considerable excite
ment in prominent down town cafes
in the quest Of stray girls, are having
some thrilling experiences. The wo.

the office by the fire escape the girl
was arrested, but the Japanese es.
capped to the roof, Running in the
darkness, leaping from building to
building over several feet of space,
one false step meaning death on the
stones below, the officers finally cap
tured the foreigner. In the meantime
theater crowds in Fifth avenue wit

most tied up traffic. A short time later
the women entered another Fifth ave-

eapes again, caused the arrest of two
couples in third floor office. Several
other young girls were taken from the
