1t is said on scientific authority that
a half dozen drinks of whiskey in
day will produce the same effect of
fatigue on brain and body as a hard
days work. This was demonstrated
by experiments conducted by DR.. Will
liam j. Wick, who reported his find
ings to the Chicago Medical society
at a recent meeting. A man who had
rested an entire day vigorous and
fresh, was put at hard labor. At the
end of the day he was subjected to
physical and nerve tests to prove the
extent of fatigue. Then he rested an.
other day and was given doses OF
alcohol, doing no work. The second
examination showed his body and
nerves had undergone the same ia
tigue as on the day he worked. The
statement was made that even one
glass of beer will show marked eff
iect 1t will deaden the quick re

Miss Nellie Lamp married her old
flame, John Wick, at Fort Dodge the
other day. The story of their court
ship is thus interestingly told by the
Knoxville Express:
Once before love lighted the way
to this function, but the flame flared
up and died out because Miss Lamp
objected to her Wick smoking. But
the current of affection drew them
together once more, and now that the
match has been happily made it is tc
be hoped that the oil of joy may be
ever present in that household sc

In commenting upon these figures
Mr.. Thompson calls attention to the
fact that in ten months the most ma
ligned tariff bill ever passed by CON
gress has increased the revenues from
customs s37,620,321. and from internal
revenues s17,4S7,9S3. aad mirabfle
dictu during the same period the ex-
penses of the government have shown
small but refreshing shrinkage of
s1,74o,49T That the tariff is not the
cause of high living cost is thus made
clear as daylight:
There is a condition behind these
increased revenues which theoretical
fre traders and political free hooters
persistently ignore. The advance sum
mary of imports for the nine months
ending March 81, the latest available,
shows that the above results have
been attained by reduction Of the
customs duties downward Small as
the percentage of reduction appears, 1t
amounts to a remittance of nearly
Sl5.O00,000 customs on the total i'm
the dutiable importations.
Moreover, the statement of imports
amounts TO an acquittal OF the new

Mr.. Norton has been County At
torney for three years and a half,
and during that time he has handled
over seven hundred cases in the Dis
t.lct Court. His trial record is sec
ond to none in Minnesota. He be-
.lieves that all persons should have a
fair trial, and that no one should be
prosecuted. In over forty cases where
the defendants have been young men
charged with their first offense, he
has recommended that they be placed
on parole, and in almost every case
they have justified the Il reliance
placed in them. This County has a.

AT THE THEATERS.

Few farces have contained as many
natural complications as is said to be
the case in 1.-THE Blue Mouse Clyde
F'itch's farce which the Messrs.. Shu-
bert will offer here for two nights,
Sept. Is and 10 at the Lyceum theater.
The farce met with immense success
In Germany, where it ran for over two
years. When produced in New York
the metropolitan critics recognized
the merits of the piece and accord
ingly the criticisms were without ex-
ception praiseworthy.
Paulette Divine, a Salome dancer,
known as 1.-THE Blue Mouse" consents
to act as the wife of Rollett, secretary
railroad. This scheme the secretary
evolves in order to have the bogus
Mrs. Rollett flirt with his superior Of
ficer and obtain his promotion from
clerkship to division superintendent.
The filtration is we'll begun in the
first act when the real Mrs. Rollett is
caught, by the president, in the arms
of his clerk. He mistakes her for
1.-THE Blue Mouse" so that when the
real Mrs. Rollett returns to the offices
OF the company a few minutes later
having fled in dismay- the president,
under the impression that she is the
dancer, flirts with her. The scene is
most amusing. In the midst of it the
presidents own wife enters his private
office and complications are doubled.
Three acts are required to unravel the
skeins of the tangled threads and be.
fore the finish, Rollett's father-in7laW
who believes his daughter is. being
abused, drops in and falls victim 10
the real blue Mouse's" charms. So
captivated is he that the old gentle
man from Cohoes, upon learning that
the Mouse" is going to auction her
household effects, offers to buy them
in and gives her a check for $4,000
This his son-in-law learns of--as he
is hiding behind curtains during the
transaction-and uses the information
as a lever to wrench a handsome
dowry from "papa.' In the large4cast

Intelligent: movement amongsthe great

due to the unusual Opportunities for
education in this generation. BIZ A. !.
4.s In medieval times and in the early
renaissance only those Who were ex-
pected to become members of the
leisure class received an education.
The original scheme OF an education
implied nothing more than a$rat1ler
shallow culture given to II small rul-
ing class made up Of the official, mill
itary. and ecclesiastical satellites Of
the ruler, and it was intended more
for ornament than for use. On the
other hand. there. was the large un-
educated class whose function it was
to remain In ignorance, and to obey.
Since. the :introduction OF education
for the common people, both the cur

eral purpose of education have Under
gone a decided change. Educators
awoke to the fact that it was lleces-
