The Case Corset company of Albert
Lea. employing 1876 hands, IS moving
to Minneapolis. Reason-better rail-
road rates. The argument put forth
by the Twin city commercial bodies
that 1t was an error to believe that the
eastman distance tariff would give
relief to the smaller manufacturing
towns, was pure rot. But for the ac-
ton Of some OF the smaller towns adj
vising their representatives, to vote
against the eastman bill, 1t would
have become a law. They were taken
in, and they will see the error OF their
stand IN supporting the present system
Of discrimination IN favor of the large
centers and that they have been the
means Of stunning the growth and
prosperity not only Of themselves, but MT

never lacking. With the passing away
of the dear old mother, A. M. Wells is

marched up the concrete walk leading
to the porch on the east side Of the
physicians residence and mounted the
platform.
"At the door of the physicians Office
there is an electric bell with a small
push button. Over this was fastened
a highly polished nickel plated sigr
reading, Patients enter without ring

This evidently attracted the atten-
ton Of the horse. Suffice to say, the
vigorous and continued ringing OF thu
bell attracted a member Of the family
to the door. Words could scarcely ex-
press the surprise Of the woman when
she opened the glass door and saw a
horse that looked as big as all out OF
doors standing at the entrance of the
Office, rubbing his nose up and down on
the nickel plated sign. When the wo-
man uttered a scream the horse took
his nose from the sign, thrust his head
into the vestibule and eyed her quiz
