An interesting volume brought 70
the Argo Office by Isaac Johnson is
devoted to the subject of the stone
found eight years ago at Kensington,
Mimi, which indicates that the
Norsemen beat Columbus by 100
years in the discovery of America.
The stone bears an inscription which
has been interpreted as follows: -

Mrs. l.. z. Coleman Dead.

DR.. w. R. Toye was called to
Janesville, Wis, last week, to at
tend the funeral of Mrs. Lou p.
Coleman. Mr.. Coleman grew up to
manhood here and has for about
seven years been practicing dentistry
at GAINESVILLE, Wis. Shortly after
the birth of their only child, Mrs.
Coleman became insane and was
placed in a sanitarium. Some time
ago she recovered from an attack of
typhoid fever, and her reason was
restored to her, but it was soon dis
covered that she was suffering from
tuberculosis, which caused her
death. She was most admirable
young woman, and her death is the
ending of sad career, which ELECTS
the entire sympathy of all friends OF
the family.

The Champion Eater.

repeatedly demonstrated his right

at Olson's bakery, he did his latest

worth of grub, including regular
dinner, two oyster stews, plate sauer
kraut, bowl of raw oysters, loaf of
bread, dozen bananas, oranges, cake,
pie, cookies, etc. He was able to
be around next morning as usual
and only stopped eating because the
spectators got tired of paying for the

NEXT WEEKS ATTRACTION.
"St. Elmo" Most Beautiful Play
Will BE at the Grand Wednes-
day Night, Jan. 20th.

Many of the greatest plays of re-
cent years have been dramatizations
of successful novels, ard st. Elmo
is certain to add another to the al
ready long list. Every man who
has recognized the truth behind the
powerful character of "St. Elmo
as drawn in Augusta ]. Evans book
and every woman who has laughed
and wept with the dainty heroine,
will find that the play has simply
added to the compelling interest OF
the story.
EST. Elmo" whose early vision OF
love is wrecked by friend whom he
kills, finds his attention caught by
a sweet little girl who begins by hat
ing him., With his distrust of all
women, st. Elmo tempts and tests
the truth Of the girl in every pos
sible manner. Backed by great
wealth, he wanders for years, MAX
ing havoc of women's hearts. and
sweeping away his enemies among
his men acquaintances.
The girl aroused from childhood
dreams by a chance view of duel
and series of thrilling events fol-
lowing in its wake, begins to realize
that she loves the masterful, cruel
man. An intense struggle between
the forces of good and evil follows.
The play combines high moral
lesson with a wealth of heart stirring
incidents. The victory of the poor,
but talented girl over the forces
that control the home of luxury in
to which she is cast by fate is all the
more complete because of the vivid
ness with which the dangers are
presented.
EST. Elmo will be the attraction
at the Grand next Wednesday eve
ming, Jan. 18th.

PARK REGION WEATHER.
A Description of Weather Conditions
in Winter in the Park Region
of Minnesota.

A recent business letter from Mr..
A. F. Anundsen, president of the
First National Bank of Detroit,
Mimi, and one of the many young
men who have gone out from De-
corah and made good in the bust
ness world, gives the following des-
cription of winter weather in the
famous Park Region of Minnesota,
which will be read with interest
here:
you know that l have talked
much in print about the climate of
the Park Region. In this connection
! wish you could be here today, AS
i came down from breakfast the
thermometer was about seven above
zero, the sun was bright in the
heavens, the air was cold and dry
and felt like the air of a day in
June. OF course, if ones bare hands
were exposed too long there would
be much trouble, but / walked two
blocks without gloves and felt not
the slightest twinge of frost. l have
been here now four years and can
say that in all that time we have
never had a storm. 1t may be that
instead of Wanting thus, l ought
to knock on wood. There is no
particular reason why We should
not have storms here except pos
sibly the fact that we have timber
fringes on every side of us. You
will have noticed that reports of
bad weather come from all over the
United States except right here and
/ think that you have never seen a
report of anything of the kind dated
from Detroit Coming down from
dinner yesterday. l was Joined at
different stages of the walk by three
different men who commented on
the fact that none of the four wore
rubbers or Overshoes. The snow is
always dry in the winter time: we
don't have any thaws and we don't
have any colder weather than you
have down in good old Iowa. Also
we don't have the terrible storms
and tie-ups that seem to bother you
and every other portion of the civil
lized globe in winter We have
light snowfalls so often that all
through the cold season the earth's
surface presents beautiful eXpanse
of pure, immaculate white. i wish
that some of my DEBORAH friends
could be up here at this time of the
year, but they seem to avoid us
under the belief that this is frozen
cline, fit for nothing but bears,
walrus, and esquimaux. / assure
you that the contrary is true"

indianapolis. Sept. 13.-Senator Al
bert J. Beveridge. who is familiar with
the situation in Maine. having opened
the campaign there four years ago
and has made many subsequent
speeches in that state. today express
ed his views on the democratic victory
as follows:
The result in Maine was neither
democratic nor republican-it was
non-partisan. I am familiar with the
people of Maine because have spent
several summers there. They are con-
servative, well informed. determined.
THE old time politicians absolutely
refused to admit the tremendous pro-
,gress, mental and moral. among the
people and the complete abandonment
by the people of the old time partisan
methods. Both Maine senators and
ell the Maine congressman were ar
dent supporters Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. and Senator Hale has been
its most determined advocate and de-
fender. Therefore the voters of Maine
have repudiated this leadership, which
SO emphatically misrepresented them:
and the only way they had an oppor-
tunity to do this was by voting for the
opposition candidates.
yr A Leader Was Needed.
Had there been one public man In
the republican party of Maine OF the
type of Bass Of New Hampshire. or
Osborn Of Michigan. or johnson OF
California. who stood for the progress
sive ideas that are the very life OF tbs
republican party. the voters Of Maine
would have rallied around him.
'Four years ago I opened the Maine
republican campaign at Portland on
the 22nd of August. Portland was
supposed to be the stronghold OF what
was then called stand pattism." I
told them that intended to declare
for a revision Of the tariff. and was
earnestly urged not to do so. Among
other things. I was told that the audi
ence would be hostile to such decla-
ration. Nevertheless did declare for
tariff revision. and to my surprise as
well as to the astonishment of the
politicians, that declaration met the
approval Of the people and press OF
the state.
"The result in Maine, repeat. IL
not partisan. 1t Is not democratic.
not republican, but non-partisan."
