VETERANS SURPRISE. COMRADE
RASICOT,

Saturday evening, March 21st, will
long be remembered by the many
friends of Comrade VIM Rasicot of
7th street N E., who to the number
Of fifty or more invaded his home on
the above date, to pay their respects to
an hOnored member of Post No. 81, G..
A. R.
This was under the auspices of the
G. A. R. and the W. R. G. Our
comrade was taken by surprise and as
the invading force was so large he
considered discretion the better part
of valor and made an unconditional
surrender. Conditioned that he should
furnish amusement and rations for the
crowd, which he did with the
assistance of his son and wife, who
are past masters in the part of enter
tanning. Cinch was played at 9
tables. At II o'clock bounteous
lunch was served, after which we all
gave the comrade the glad hand and
expressed the wish to meet him at
many social events in the future. Our
comrade has past the four score mark,
yet seems as jovial as when the writer
first met him forty years ago, but not
SO spright]y. MIKE.

REV. CLEAVELAND. ADDRESSES
THE SCHOOL.

Rev. H. A. Cleave]and, D. D., Of
Long Prairie gave a very interesting
and instructive half hours talk during
the last period of the morning SESSION
at the high school Thursday. He
stated that the school and college
We're designed to get rid of all
encumbrances, and to clear the field
for the active and intelligent work on
the part Of each student. He gave it
as his opinion that anyone with
brains, whether rich or poor, could
get, not only a common education, but
also college education, providing of
courie he had the pluck, courage and
morals to do so. Rev. Cleaveland is a
very good story teller, and in his most
happy way of telling them, he told a
number of very amusing anecdotes
to illustrate his discourse
The talk was thoroughly enjoyed by
the high school students and faculty.

BEEF. HAS RAISED.

AS will be seen by glance at the

pork have both been advanced in
price at the instance Of the BEEF
Trust. The raise on beef is $50 on
the hundred, and on pork, $1.25 for

for the farmer if he had plenty Of beef
and pork for sale, but the trust takes
care of that It waits till the greater
quantity has been disposed of before
making its raise, and therefore instead

she FORGED A CHECK
Wished to Draw $3.50 on
Judge Shaw's Account at
= Merchants Bank

Heavily veiled and carrying 9
mysterious air about her, short stout
woman entered the Merchants State
Bank of this city at about o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, and attempted
to pass forged check, calling for the
sum of $3.50, on the account of Judge
of Probate E. F. Shaw. His suspicion
already aroused by the mysterious air
of the woman, Joe Moeglein, the
cashier Of the bank, upon the presenta-
ton of the check, took it to the back
part Of the bank and compared the
signature on the check with the
signature on Judge Shaw's card
and found that there was vast
difference: He then: called up Mr.
Shaw by telephone, but in the mean
time the woman made her exit
through the door. Mr.. Moeglein
followed her to the Hub Clothing
company, where on entering the store
she had taken off her veil, and as he
entered the store she left it. The
police was then notified and two trips
were made to the depot, where they
found a person answering the descrip-
tion. of the woman in question. She
stoutly denied her completely in the
matter, and proof not being strong
enough, she was allowed to 60 free.
The officials of the bank, however,
are satisfied that they know the
woman, who attempted to pass the
forged check. but there is little ike1i-
hood that she will be prosecuted, the
opinion being that she has received
a lesson she is not apt to soon forget.
She is resident of the northeastern
part of the county.

BYvan S Personal Weakness.

los. M. Brown was Democratic nominee for
Governor of Georgia. In spite of the secret,
bushwhacking opposition of Gov. Hoke Smith
and the Atlanta Journal, Mr.. Brown beat his
rival candidate by more than 10000 votes.
Before the same constituency, and aided by
Gov. Hoke Smith, the Atlanta Journal, and
quite number of negroes, Mr.. Bryan carried
Georgia by pitiful 1900.
This shows how much weaker than his party
is Mr., Bryan, even in this state.
In Nebraska, after the most hercuean and
pathetic efforts and after the absorption of the
Popuists and the winning of the whiskey vote,
Mr.. Bryan ran behind his ticket. Other Dem
ocrats, running at the same time, received in
his home state a much larger vote than was
given to Mr.. Bryan. -

The Kentucky School Lab.

The Supreme Court of the United States,
passing upon the Kentucky law which forbids
the co-education of whites and blacks, holds
that the States have the constitutional right
to forbid mixed schools.
This decision is of far reaching Importance.
Now that the Democrats of Nebraska have
full control of Bryan's home state, will they
rid that state of the mixed schools in which
the Bryan children were educated?
Will the Democratic legislature compel the
University of Nebraska to discontinue the ma
circulation of negro boys and girls?
Bryan's daughter and one of his sons were
graduated from this Social Equality school.
Another of Mr., Bryan's sons, William ]. Bry-
an, IT,, is now student of this mixed institute.
The Democrats of Kentucky want separate
schools for their negroes but they voted for
Presidential candidate who prefers to educate
his children on plane of Social Equality with
the negroes.

Kerns notification and took all the glory and
the talking unto himself, Bryan ran behind the
Democratic state ticket 10000 votes.
In New York, the Democratic State ticket
headed by Chanler and trying to beat so good
a man as Hughes, got 10000 more votes than
Bryan.
Of Bryan by 100000.
In Ohio, BRYAN was in the rear Of the Demo
cratic state ticket by $4,000.
In Michigan he was 10000 behind and in
Illinois the Democratic state ticket ran past
him to the extent of 10000!
And why did Bryan develop such amazing
personal weakness?
Because he has shifted his ground so often.
Because he wobbled about so much during
the recent campaign.
Because he had endorsed the Roosevelt poll
cies and claimed to be Roosevelts heir. This,
Of course, helped Taft
Because his platform had left him nothing to
talk about that offered any real hope to the
masses of the people.
Because he has taken TIP and then dropped
too many paramount issues"
Because he had cut loose from the radicals,
and had not gained the confidence of the con-
servatives.
Because he was dumb when the President
1mpaled him with that direct question,
'Where do you stand this labor bill
which Mr.. Gompers says embodies the de-
mands of 'Labor?"
The nature of that bill is explained else
where, and Mr.. Bryan's failure to reply con-
tributed much to his rout.
