Bouquet For Brewer

Hon. r. B. Brewer of st. Cloud has
had many nice things printed about
him since the state republican conven-
ton. Here's what the Sank Rapids
paper says: =.
Ripley B. Brewer of st. Cloud
vaulted into the political arena at
Minneapolis and landed right side up
with care and with all the colors fly
ing sky high. Rip was permanent
chairman of the state republican con-
vention-a position which put him
aboard the Harmony lid. u called
for an eloquent speech and the diplo-
matte handling of 1000 politicians. Rip
got away with the speech in a way
that brought the big audience right up
standing and in handling the business
Of the convention was the very mod
el of tact and graciousness. His easy
success made Mr. Brewer big man II
the eyes Of the delegates; no wonder
many of them want him to run for
governor"

TIE EVENING TERROR.
Is Did His Worst, but the Child Was
Rescucd.

nSSCC-C.
IT was a beautiful evening in au-
sumn. and peace and contentment de-
scended upon the village. In front of
their houses sat the men, resting and
smoking, while the women chatted at
the gates and kept a watchful eye
over the children as they romped
and shouted in the roadway.
Suddenly hush fell on this peace
full community, and whispered warn
ing sped from mouth to mouth.
With blanched cheeks, the men
dashed toward the children, caught
them up and carried them into the
house-all except one little toddler,
who remained paralyzed with terror
in the middle of the street.
TOO late-too late!" cried the
leighbors as his widowed mother
rushed to his assistance. But bravely
facing the horror that was almost
upon her, the woman snatched the
child and bore him into safety.
The little street was now deserted
and silence reigned supreme. Then,
with unexpected turnings, with sud-
den lurches and nervous jerks, the
beginner and his bicycle passed up
the road.

Wednesday. How old he is deponent
sayeth not and Al declines to tell, 4,
owing to his natural youth and mod
esty, but it is generally believed that
he is growing younger with each pass
ing year, especially since his trip to
Battle Creek. Anyway, his diet Of
grape nuts and postum made him
very coltish and it will be good many
years before he grows old. On the
evening of his natal day a party of
friends called at his home for a sur
prise party. The lord of the manor
was not in, so Mrs. Erwin teiephoned
up town and finally succeeded in
locating him; issuing orders for him
to report at once. Mr.. e. wended his
way home and when he entered fonnd
the house in charge of the party OF
friends referred to above. The sur
prise was complete but none the
less appreciated. The evening passed
pleasantly. Light refreshments were
served.

AN UNSOLICITED ,<
TESTIMONIAL
Capt. Chas. c. Whitney Pays a
Fine Compliment to Great
Northern Train Service

Capt. Chas. c. Whitney and Frank
J. Meyst, members Of the executive
committee Of the Minnesota Efitey-
lal Association, made trip to Winni-
peg and back recently over the Great
Northern. their object being 10 arrange
fol the annual outing of the associa-
tion. When the genial Whitney Is-
turned to Marshall he penned an edi-
torial which set forth in glowing
terms the accommodations, convent
ences and comforts afforded by the
Great Northern's Winnipeg Flyer, and
printed it in his Marshall News Mes
sanger. Sank Centre people know all
about this fine train, and when they
read Capt. Whitneys testimonial will
second every word ne says Incl
IDENTIFY, it may be remarked that the
excellent train service which Sauk
Centre enjoys was one the principal
reasons actuating the Board of Con-
troll when it voted to locate the gi'Is'
training school at this point Here
is Capt. Whitneys article:
The facility with which distance
may be covered, and business trans
acted, within brief period of time,
is high tribute to the railroad ac-
commodations of the northwest This
was illustrated last week in trip by
Tie writer, who was absent from Mar
shall two and three-quarters days and
during that period spent one full day
in st. Paul, another full day in Win
nipeg, Canada, and half day in St.
Cloud
This statement may seem para
dcxical, when considering the spend
ing of two and half out of two and
three-quarters days, and travelling at
tie same time nearly thirteen hun
dred miles; but it is easily acoump-
lished by leaving Marshall On the
early morning train, spending tie day
in ST. Paul, taking the evening train
for Winnipeg, spending the second
day in that city, taking the night
train for ST Cloud, stopping during
the forenoon, and taking the moor
train .HF Marshall, arriving before
four o'clock in the afternoon. And
the excellent accommodations and
train service on the Great Northern
road make the night riding the least
tedious of any portion of the period.
THE Great Northern Winnipeg
Flyer from the twin cities is mar
vel of elegance and comfort, its OBJ
servation coach a charming resort
for visiting, reading, writing or smok-
ing, it's compartments for sleeping
provided with every known conven-
fence, and its dining car service all
that could be desired by epicuTe or
dyspeptic. From the enforced fact
that We paid our full reckoning,
there is no question but this is an

Elephant and Engine Meet.

An elephant was crossing a railway
line when a down ballast train in mo-
ton tried to whistle him off the line.
He obeyed the whistle. but instantly
was on the line again and pushed the
engine back with all the strength he
could muster, causing the derailment
of the engine and one of the trucks.
The driver fell off and received some
injuries. and the mahout. who had ap-
parently lost all hold over the animal,
and had perhaps anticipated the acci-
dent, jumped down, but was unhurt.
The elephant was only bruised

The offer to double the votes this
week has stimulated the work all
along the line. The out-of-town di-
vision particularly has shown much
conscientious work by the contestants.
Geraldine Froome, the last one to en-
ter. now leads all with over eleven
thousand votes. Others are working
Just as hard and many surprises are
in store for us.
In the city division, Hazel Wyrick
makes another large gain Hazel has
worked early and late, making the
most of the double voting this week
Next week the teachers institute
will be held and all the contestants
will have six times as much time to
work. To help the cause along we
will again double the votes for all
subscriptions turned in during the
week.
A new subscription to the Daily and
Sunday Journal and Daily East Ore
gonan by carrier for one year Will
cost SIS, and give the contestant 45OO
votes. All next week this combina-
ton will make you 5000 votes
Four of such combinations would
more than pass the highest contest
ant. SO now let us all work hard for
six days and see what we can do. A

GOLD PANNED IN
CITY OF PENDLETON.

There was gold excitement in Pen
dleton yesterday. The cause was
when ]. w. Tallman panned a 90
pound pan of dirt that ran 1856 to
the yard. The placer operations, how
ever, were limited in their extent, and
were simply as an example of the
richness of the dirt at the Gold Coin
mine.
They were performed at the rear
of the Tallman & Co. drug store,
and in the presence of several inter-
ested and justly excited stockholders
il that property. Several other pans
were washed, the average being bet
ter than 50 to the yard. Among those
who were most interested were Mr.
Durkee, the original locator of the
property, L. Y. Ready, manager, and
T. w. Ayers, president of the COM
pany.
