A FAVORED SISTER STATE

In the sisterhood of states, one has
achieved new distinction. 1T has be-
come SO rich, and has piled up SO huge
treasury surplus that it is planning to
skip a years taxation. 1t is an unpre-
cedented performance, and serves to
raise doubt as to the truth of the old
fashioned idea that the two really sure
things in the world are death and tax.
eS.
The lucky state is Minnesota which
we of the Hawkeye state have not vet
learned to look upon as really wealthy.
In our minds it has been distinguished
rather for other things. Thus we have
heard of the splendid Twin Cities, the
gateway Of the great Northwest, of
Minnehaha Falls of the magnificent
pine forests, of ten thousand beautiful
lakes, and especially of Lake Itasca,
the source of the great Father of Wa
ters. Also, of late years we have been
hearing of the remarkable iron mines
about the head of Lake Superior. But
the fact seems to be that we have not
kept well enough informed to realize
the magnificent proportions, which
the Minnesota iron industry has at
tanned.
1t seems not so very long ago that
we We're taught from school books that
the greatest iron producing state was
Pennsylvania, followed by New Jer-
sey and New York. But times have
changed. Now all three of these
states combined produce less iron than
certain single mines in Minnesota.
And in the annals of the iron industry.
the eastern field has become very near
ly negligible quantity. 1t is hard in
deed to realize the stupendous magni-
tude ofsome of these Minnesota mines.
Many do not seem to be mines at all
but great open pits instead Entire
trains descend into them, and tlleN'ore
is taken up and loaded upon cars by
steam shovels so large that three or
four shovelfuis make carload 1t
seems incredible, but the amount of
acUual excavation going on in Mimi
esota's iron mines is about the same as
that in the Panama canal, notwith-
standing the canal is deemed such q
stupendous work for the entire nation
to carry through.
1t happens that some of these iron
mines are located on lands owned by
the state and that the state receives q
royalty on all iron mined from them.
And this is about all that is required to
account for the fat treasury of our sis
ter state. Minnesota seems to have
been born both lucky and rich. But
whether we agree or not as to this, we
may as well make the cheerful admis-
sion that to cancel years taxes is a
performance of which even Iowa
would be proud.

relatives living near Lorah and all
are among the best people of this
part of the state.
The attending physician in speak
ing of Mr.. Lambert's death states
that the demise was the result of
two hemmorhages and punctures
of the intestines. The case was a
very serious one and the extreme
heat aggravated it. The funeral

O'Clock from the Baptist Church in

REV. ]. L. FISHER
Attempts Suicide By Cutting His
Throat, AT His Home In
Omaha, July 18th

Our community was startled las
Saturday morning when news
reached here from Omaha that Rev.
Jesse L. Fisher, one time pastor Of
the Congregational Church in Exi-
ra had attempted suicide Friday by
cutting his throat, severing the u
gular vein but not cutting into the
windpipe. He bled great deal and
reports from the Swedish hospital
Sunday, where he was hurried after
the attempt says he has very
slight show for his life owing to the
loss of blood. He has been in poor
health for sometime. Friday, he
told his wife he feared he was going
insane and threatened to end it all
but she made him promise to not
make the attempt. He then went
to his study and in short time he
was found with a razor in his hand
lying on the floor weltering in his
blood. He was pastor of church
there, and there was some friction
between himself and one of his
church mem bers which seemed Ito
prey on his mind says the "World
Herald" Rev. Fisher has a wife
and four children.
