Krakatoa.

Perhaps the most remarkable vol. oaaic eruption known was that which
 ock place in August, 1883. at the Is- land of Krakatoa. in the Straits of Sunda Streams of volcanic dust were thrown 17 miles high, and more tran Q cubic mile of material was expelled from the volcanic crater. The air waves started by the eruption tray eled around the earth seven times. The noise was heard at Mascasa, 969 miles away; at Borneo, 1,116 miles dis taHt; in West Australia. 1,700 miles away, and even al Rodeguez, distant more than 2,900 miles. The dust and powdered pumice thrown out of the crater made the entire circuit Of the earth before settling down, and was the cause of the strange sunsets that were observed for many months.

The world has little use for the rrimp, the dandy-the fellow who spends ali his time pressing and put. tering. He ought to go to work The fellow who is above his job-the mil Iionaire with the bootblacks income --is not only too lazy to work, but too good as well; and the man who Is too dignif1ed to do dirty work-dirty physically, not morally-is too good for any job. Cleanliness is to be de- sired, but prudishness is to be con demned All work is honorable if it be honest If it soils your hands. there's the soap and towel; if it soils your character, leave 1t alone.-Book- keeper.

Bank of England Note.

The paper on which Bank of Eng land notes are printed has been made since 1719 by the same mill at Laver- stoke. in the valley of the Test, in Hampshire, where about 60.000 notes are made daily. This paper Is distin- guished by its whiteness, it's thinness and transparency (preventing any of the printed part of the note being washed out by turpentine, or removed by the kxife without making hole); its characteristic feel" crisp and tough, by the touch of which can be distinguished true from false notes; its wire mark. or water mark, pro duced in the paper in a state of pulp (the mark Is stamped upon counter felt paper after it Is made); three deckle edges made in pulp; the strength of the paper, it being made entirely from new linen and cotton pieces; when unsized bank note will support 36 pounds; when sized it will lift 56 pounds-San Francisco Chron- icle.

1t seems that they have political
game wardens in Wisconsin as we'll
as in Minnesota. Since Mr.. Carlos
Avery became the executive agent of
the game and fish commission there
has been a change for the better in
the enforcement of the game laws in
this state, and if he were to be given a
free rein and permitted to weed out in
competent subordinates, who hold
their positions as a reward for politi-
cal services rendered, he could make
a still better showing. But even now
the results obtained do not Justify the
enormous expense this department en-
tails upon the state. Game is pro-
tected at the expense of the many for
the pleasure of the few.

q YOICE FROM AITKIN.

One of Aitkin county s most promi-
nent citizens writes: cup here We ali
admire the Union for its manly
stand against the proposed unjust
tonnage tax on iron ore, which in the
near future will be one of the principal
products of this county. Wonder if
those patriotic senators and represen-
tatives from southern Minnesota and
the Red River valley are aware of the
fact that there are valuable iron de-
posits in this county, and that they
are not owned or controlled by the
Steel corporation, and that we need
every dollar that can be raised bv
taxation to make passable roads and
maintain our schools? We are willing
to pay our part and proportionate
share of taxes for the support of the
army of ofice-holders in and around
St. Paul and Minneapolis, but nobody
possessed of any sense of justice
would insist upon our paying spe-.
cial tax into the state treasury over
and above what citizens of other;
counties are required to pay on their
property, especially when the immense
acreage of non-taxable state land To-
Gated in this county is taken into con
sideration. There is room for $4,000
farmers in this county if our wet lands
were properly drained and we had a
decent system of highways. If ton
mage tax is to be levied why in
heavens name should not the pro-
ceeds of such a tax be diverted to the
improvement of our highways and the
reclamation of our wet lands? Whv
should the rich and prosperous people
of the other sections of our state in
sist upon the thinly-settled and unde-
veloped counties of northeastern Min
nesota bearing more than their share
OF the burdens necessary to be borne
for the support of our over-costly
government? Don't tell me that anv
honest man favors such an outrage

Small merchants in the cities are re-
joicing over the enactment of the
trading stamp law which prohibits the
use of the tempting shin plasters.
These stamps, used principally by the
big department stores, worked great
hardships to the smaller business men
who had to depend upon the stability
of their wares to effect sales. The
stamps were in the nature of pre-
miums on purchases-with which other
purchases could be made-and we're
used to lead shoppers to believe that
they we're getting something for moth
ing. A veritable public swindle
smoothly manipulated. It is we'll
that they are abolished.

Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary
of the interior department. under Nc.
Kinley and Roosevelt, is dead, aged
"a years. During his administration
of affairs in the interior department
he investigated the western land
frauds and relentlessly prosecuted the
grafters, among whom were senators
and congressman. In consequence of
this he made many powerful political
enemies, but he continued his work
until every land thief had been
brought to justice. He was at one
time ambassador to Russia and as
such proved a diplomat of remarkable
resourcefulness. The country loses
one of it's most eminent men in the
death of Secretary Hitchcock.

Rabbi Lefkovitz in an address at

that the story which lays the cruel

Jews is falsehood. The rabbi is
right in this declaration. It was not
the Jews, but the Roman soldiers, who
cruci6ed Christ. The rabbi should,
however, have informed his audience
who instigated the murder of the
Savior-who was responsible for the
dastardly crime.

"AFR14ID OF THE CARS.,,

George F. Authier, the political
writer of the Minneapolis Tribune,
discusses the tonnage tax bill at length
in last Sundays issue of that paper,
and among other things says:
Tonnage tax is peculiar PROPOSE
ton. The application of the prin-
ciple that the iron mines are "heri-
tage" is regarded by most of the SEN
ators as socialistic doctrine. If the
members of the upper body voted their
honest convictions, tonnage tax would
undoubtedly be voted down over
whelmingly. Opponents of the meas
ure claim to know positively that
there are over 40 senator's who believe
the tax is unfair, but most of them
are afraid of the cars, to use a term
which is more or less popular and is
certainly common, in the legislature.
There are several senator's who are
communing with themselves, and
wondering what in the world they are
going to do about it.
Mr.. Authier is undoubtedly right.
There is no question that d majority
of the members of both the house and
senate believe the tonnage tax bill is
wrong in principle and grossly unjust
to St. Louis county and northeastern
Minnesota, and yet many of them have
not the courage to vote their honest
convictions afraid of false pub
lie sentiment which had it's birth in
misconception and is nurtured by po-
litical demagogues.

DANIEL b. Rollins DEnn

he was an Old Time Rum River Lumber
man ana Well Known In Princeton.
Many Princeton people, especially
the old timers, will learn with deep re-
greet OF the death of Daniel B. Rollins.
from heart disease, at his home 600
University avenue southeast, Minne-
apolis, on the 9th inst. Mr.. Rollins
for many years numbered in the Rum
river pineries and Princeton was his
base of operations. He transacted
thousands of dollars worth of busi-
ness with our merchants and feed mil,
men annually and employed scores of
our boys in his camps and always
paid every dollar of his obligations
promptly. None of the old time lum-
bermen was held in higher esteem by
our people than genial Dan Rollins.
Mr.. Rollins was born in Maine in
1889 and came to St. Anthony with
his family when he was ten years old.
He started in the lumber business with
his father, Captain John Rollins, at
an early age. After working in the
woods for several years he became a
logging contractor. The only time he
laid aside the lumber business was
when ne joined in the gold hunt about
Pixies peak with men from all parts
OF the country. He spent two years
tramping over the district in search
OF the precious metal, but came back
almost empty handed. He is survived
by his wife, two children, Frank and
Miss Minette Rollins, three sisters,
Mrs. Frances b. Holmes, Mrs. F. r.
Petit of Minneapolis and Mrs. Marv
Craig of New York, and two brothers,
John F. Rollins of Minneapolis and
Mortimer B. Rollins of Seattle.
