Some Embarrassing ouext,on.

They are after Mr.. Bryan in Texas
for demanding tariff discrimination
against the products of that State, es-
pecially wool, iron and lumber. The
Dallas Times-Herald names more than
forty Nebraska farm products which
are we'll protected. and then puts Ii up
to Mr.. Bryan as follows: 'Mr. Bryan
demands wool shall be admitted free.
Why not wheat? He demands that
iron shall be admitted free. Why not
beans? He demands free hides. Why
not free bacon? All the people are
consumers OF bread and bacon. All the
people are not consumers of lumber
and iron" Perhaps Mr.. Bryan was not
looking for trouble when he started
out on his missionary trip to Texas.
but he seems to have found plenty OF
it.-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Here is true story of love. 1t has
none of the vapid romance of the sea-
side, nor the sprightliness of the ball
room, but it shows and evidences that
the human heart is susceptible TO love
under the most adverse conditions In
deed, we are not sure but love-true
love-is a plant of more tender and
healthful growth when removed from
all selfish and narrowing surroundings.
At the beginning of the war most of
the Southern troops were sent to Vir-
ginia. Among other regiments the
Fifth Alabama, under Colonel R. E.
ROdes, who was afterward promoted
to major general, moved from Mont
gomery to Richmond, and afterward
to Manassas Junction, near Bull Run.
After remaining there short time a
member of Company d. Fifth Ala
bama, was taken sick with camp fever
and sent to the hospital at Culpeper
Court House. The hospital was in
Alabama, by the name of Miss Sally
Anne Swope, a noble-hearted woman,
but perfect fire-eater toward the Yam
kee soldiers. She would nurse a sick
or wounded soldier either Yankee or
rebel, as wei as il he was one of her
own family, and at the same time If
he were a Yankee she would tell him
that she could cut off his head when
he was well. After the young man
came to the hospital, he continued to
grow worse, and at times would be en-
tirely delirious. / was sick at the
same time, and noticed bright, pretty
young woman, whose name l will not
mention for fear it will recall sad
memories to her dear friends and REL
atives, and whom they will remember
with pride for the many noble traits
of character she possessed. She would
sit by the gallant soldier, during his
moments of delirium, for hours, and
battle his brow with her soft, pretty
hands and soothe his restless spirit
with cheering words. AT times the sol
der would catch her hand and talk
| of the dear ones at home, thinking it
was his loved sister. Again he would
tell her how he loved whispering
words of love. 1t became we'll known
| by all the friends at the hospital that
1t was a case of true love. Although
it was labor of love and mercy that
made the lady nurse, yet she never
neglected her many patients. At the
same time her lover, who was much
sicker than any other, received all of
her spare time But the poor fellow
continued TO grow worse from day to
day. The poor girl watched with in
| tense sorrow and affection his sunken
features, sweetening the long hours of
watching with such loving looks and
expressions as could not be mistaken.
| At last the end came. The dear crea-
ture who had watched his bed seemed
! to have wasted to a mere shadow. The
| doctors advised rest; but no, she con
| tinued to hover around the other pa
tients like one in a dream, providing
for their every want Alas her heart
was broken, and in a short time she
too was laid In the grace, having con
| tracted the fever from her lover.

The First New. from Gettysburg.

The First News from Gettysburg.
In these days, when the news SER
vice of the world Is so perfectly or
gained that the Battle of Manila In
all its essential details was described
in the newspapers of America only a
few hours after the echoes of the last
gun had died away, it is hard to real
ize how slow and fragmentary was the
diffusion of news in Civil War times.
The three days Battle of Gettysburg
was over and Lee had begun his re-
treat before any inkling of the actual
fighting reached Washington
Under date of Saturday, July 4, Gid
con Welles, Secretary of the Navy in
Lincoln's Cabinet. wrote in his diary,
which is now being published in the
Atlantic Monthly:
Il was called up at midnight pre-
cisely by a messenger with telegram
from Byington at Hanover Station,
stating that the most terrific battle OF
the war was being fought at or near
Gettysburg; that he left he field at
half-past 6, and that everything look
ed hopeful. The President was at the
War Department where this dispatch,
which Is addressed to me, was receiv-
ed. 1t was the first word of the great
conflict. Nothing had come to the
War Department There seems to
have been no system, no arrangement
for prompt, constant and speedy In.
telligence 1 had remained at the
War Department for news till about
II. Some half an hour later the dis
patch from Byington came to me over
the wires. but nothing for Stanton or
Halleck The operator in the War De-
partment gave the dispatch to the
President, who remained He asked,
Who is Byington?' No one in the de-
partment knew anything about him,
and the President telegraphed to Han
over Station. Who Is Byington? The
operator replied, Ask the Secretary of
Navy l informed the President that
the telegram was reliable. Byington

A HUNDRED MILLIONS foR SCHOOLS
Minnesota Public School Fund Leading
all Other States

State Auditor Samuel G. Iverson
takes issue with certain Texas land
bureau circulars which are being
distributed in Minnesota and which
are making the incidental claim that
Texas has the largest school fund Of
any state in the Union. According
to Auditor Iverson Minnesota now
has the right to claim the largest
school fund. and always will have.
The Minnesota school fund now
totals $40. 800. 900. OF this amount
Sc, 100000 is in school land contracts
drawing four and FIVE per cent in
terest. The fund also owns S., 6OO,-
600 of state and Minnesota munich
pal bonds, and the remainder is in
interest bearing bonds of other
states, with about 500, 600 cash on
hand. In addition to all the above,
the school fund will own the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of some 1000, 900
acres of state land, of which 35 900
acres are in the iron-ore district. On
these lands is a great amount Of
standing pine and mixed timber
which is increasing in value yearly,
Mr.. Iverson estimates that when
these holdings are all disposed Of,
the Minnesota state school fund will
total at least $3.50, 100000.

important Change of Time

Beginning last Monday the M. &
st. L. company inaugurated the
most important change in the run
ming time of trains that has been
made since the first night train was
put in service. The change mainly
affects the day passenger service and
the freight runs, and while there is
difference of less than two hours
between the old and new schedules
at. this point, the change means the
shifting of the dining station from
Morton to Winthrop for both the
east bound and west bound train,
and already new dining hall is UNI
der contract at the latter town.
Under the new schedule. the train
which usually leaves North Red
wood for the east at about one O'Clock
now leaves at 11:12 and the train
going west now arrives at PAP, Or
about an hour and half later than
heretofore. According to the Nor.
ton paper, the engine crews on the
two passenger trains will lay over
in Morton instead of. Winthrop as.
heretofore, while freight trains Nos.
IS and sc have been made through
trains to WATERFOWL instead of sion.
ping at Morton. but the crews of
both trains will lay over at Morton.

following fashion: ..-.....
admit that the Roman Catholic

which necessitated that the great re-

Does it follow that the body of that

Does it follow that within the Roman
church there are no members of the
invisible church of our Father in
Heaven? Of the -uncounted millions
who have lived, worshiped and died
within that church, do you not pre-
sumo that multitudes have fallen,

A PhONFLFSS
new YEARS
Redwood Falls Business Men
Try to Ring Out the
Old Phones.
Some Are Installing Connec-
tons with Rural Lines
and Waiting.

Redwood Falls celebrated the New
Year with unusual quietude last
week. Not only were the business
houses closed during the afternoon,
but for one day Central" was en-
abled to enjoy an unwonted leisure.
With over one-half Of the residence
phones and nearly all of the business
phones thrown out Of commission
on account of owners declining to
consent to the raise in rates, many
citizens, if not the most Of them,
passed the day without hearing the
ring of the telephone bell, and rath-
er enjoyed the sensation.
The movement for the organiza-
ton Of home telephone company
appeals to most Of our business men
as the only satisfactory way to settle
the question so that it will stay set
tied. When the Tri-State line came
in and prospect of two rival phone
lines in the city threatened. citizens
were united on the proposition that
the town was not big enough to
stand for two competing systems
and willingly consented to a propo-
sition of the Northwestern to put in
an up-to-date system here and have
a practical monopoly of the business.
But the implied contract was that
this should be without any alteration
in the rentals for phones. The COM
pany has seen fit to demand an in
crease on each phone used of S. a
year, and the people are fairly unan-
imous on the proposition that now
is the time to take the phone service
into their own hands and be indie
pendent of future demands of nom
resident stockholders.
The most satisfactory outcome Of
the special meeting held at the IL
brary rooms the last day Of the old
year. was the disposition manifested
by all present to stand. together as
unit in helping on the organization
of the proposed home company. The
decision involves some loss and a
great deal Of Inconvenience to citi-
zens through going without phone
service, but-we expect to be able to
tell in very short time of a way
put of the difficulties of the situation. |
Courage and united action will solve
the problem.
The rights Of the Minnesota Cen
,ral need not be ignored in the final
outcome. Overtures have been made
% take the system as it stands at a
price equal to installing an entirely
lew system, but so far the company
leclfnes to sell. Under these condi-
ions, they have no reason to claim
my injustice in the proposition to
duplicate their line in this city.
