Mrs. Roosevelt was reported last
week as counting the days when the
statue of liberty would break into
view from the deck Of the steamer
which transported Col. Roosevelt
and family to New York. Unlike
some of her more aristocratic sisters
who consider it the height of their
ambition to capture a titled Europe

Some time ago The Gazette print
ed an official notice from the state
insurance department.. stating that
the The Minnesota Farmers Mutual
Insurance Co. had been refused a
state license. This action resulted
from legal controversy, which was
tried last April. and the commission
er being sustained, the officers made
arrangements to comply with the
law and have had their license re-
newed. The official statement Of
the company claims that the COM
pany is out of debt and that the they
expect to increase their record of
business done over that of last year,
when over S8,OO0,OOO Of risks were
written and all claims satisfactorily
paid.

The Gazette was last week fur
nished with the addresses of several
hundred young men from various
sections of the west. who are looking
for positions as farm laborers. The
list comes from the office Of Commits
sioner Welsh of st. Paul, who is
using his Office as an information
bureau for the benefit of farmers
looking for help. The Gazette would
suggest to farmers looking for help
that it would cost little for farmers
to take down a dozen addresses at
this Office and send out postal card
requests for information concerning
the character and experience of the
various applicants.

The postoffice department at
Washington eliminated one of the
candidates for state treasurer re-
Gently John Sheehy Of Montgomery,
who is postmaster of that village.
John was notified that as postmas-
ter it was not regular for him to be
a candidate for a state Office, and
Mr.. Sheehy wisely concluded that a
bird in the hand was better worth
while than his chance for nominal
ton and election as state treasurer,
and let go of his aspirations to get
the combination of the state treas
ury. Which demonstrates that Mr..
Sheehy has a leve! head.

In Wisconsin last Wednesday, a
conference of Taft Republicans met
with delegates from all but three
counties of the state, a published re-
port intimating that very few young
men were in evidence in the gather
ing. Vice President Sherman was
among the speakers. and this fact
will not tend to heal the breach
which has grown up between the
friends of the president in the Re-
publican ranks and the progressive
opponents. It does not bode we'll
for the party when the older ele-
ment holds conventions to anathe-
Matte Senator LaFoIlett and his
followers in the same party. De-
nouncing the progressives will do
more to aid the Democratic party
than it will the Republican. in the
final struggle for power.

free and the home of the criminal. !"
When we consider that the CONNER
cial interests of this country are
making a big fight to have every
hamlet in our country empowered to

the point seems to be well taken.
The only practical way to turn the

Minnesota has frequently ripened
good corn planted in June, and only
last week we heard of big field
being replanted in the southwest
corner of this county, where the seed
had proven to be bad on the first
planting. The better way to reckon
is that late frosts in the spring call
for late frosts in the fall.

GOIlmar Brothers Arrange for the
Children.

Gollmar Brothers Show, which is
booked to exhibit one day only in
Redwood Falls, June 23d, has made
unusual efforts to entertain the little
folks as we'll as the adults with
wholesome and profitable amuse-
ment. The date of visit by the
Gollmar Brothers becomes a verita-
BILE "children's day."
It is fact that the Gollmars made
greater efforts. and have gone to
more expense to entertain the little
folks than any other managers. Old
er people can always find entertain
ment, but it is the little ones that
are neglected by many. Almost one
half Of the space in the animal tent
is filled with objects Of special inter-
est to the little people. The entire
center il filled with the finest Shet-
land ponies ever seen in one collec-
ton. They are Of all sizes and
colors. These ponies are used in the
magnificent parade to pull the little
cages Of the miniature menagerie.
Almost one side Of the big menagerie
tent is filled with little, cute and
costly cages. made in imitation of
the larger dens. These small cages
are inhabited By small animals. such
as monkeys, etc. In the circus pro-
per, there are many clowns. who are
employed for the sole purpose OF en-
pertaining the children. Buster
Brown is there, too.

The death of State Treasurer Clar-

to his friends all over the state. Mr..
Dinehart was the youngest official at
the capitol, being but little past
SO years of age. Mr.. Dinehart's
popularity was shown at the last
election by his receiving the largest
vote given for any state officer ex-
cept the attorney general, and he
was a favorite in political and social
circles at the state capital also. He
was born in Chicago. but had lived
at Slayton since 1884. where he was
assistant cashier Of the state bank at
the time Of his nomination and cleo

The matter of excessive speed by
automobiles was taken UP at the
meeting of the Commercial Club the
other evening, says the Window Cit
izen, and it was the concensus of
opinion that some step should be
taken to curb the growing habit Of
swift driving on the streets. Several
accidents have been narrowly avoid
ed lately because of the reckless
speed which some drivers have driv-
en-. and unless the drivers of cars
have thought enough to discontinue
the practice they will probably have
a chance to donate to the state rev.
enue fund.
