Good Man for the Place.

The talk of James A. Tawney for

From all parts of the state come
added friends, who feel that his defeat
in the first district last fall was a

Minnesota ever had in the national

fitting tribute to his ability and worth.

Gordon a Teetotaler?

Think of it. Sam Gordon, the

The Small Potato In Politics.

While we are congratulating our
selves over the unusually large
growth of spuds this season, let us
not overlook that crop of political
small potatoes known as the "real
progressive" variety, Which is being
ground into starch by the democrats
for the purpose of stiffening Up the
party. -Walker Pilot.

At midnight, while the Peters
Schmidt wedding was being celebrated
by the guests Fred Eggert surprised
Mr.. and Mrs. William Bornholdt by
placing upon the head of each a tin
crown to remind them that it was
their tenth wedding anniversary.
This event was then duly celebrated
and Mr.. and Mrs. Bornholdt we're
presented with many useful articles in
tinware and received the congratula-
tions of the assemblage.
Mrs. Rutherford WEEDS.
Mrs. Carrie Rutherford stole a
march upon her parents on Tuesday
by getting married in Minneapolis to
j. M. johnson of Princeton without
even intimating that such an event
was even probable. Mr.. and Mrs.
Newbert we're consequently surprised
when on Tuesday evening a telegram
was received apprising them that the
marriage had taken place at 4 p. N.
and that Mr.. and Mrs. johnson would
be in Princeton on Sunday.
Mr.. Newbert says that when Mrs.
Rutherford left here she stated that
after she had accompanied her
daughter, Mildred, to her school at
Faribault she intended going to Spo-
kane on visit, and took with her a
trunk which, it later transpired, twas
only to fool father.'' Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson have, however, been for
given and will receive the blessings of
Mr.. and Mrs. Newbert upon their re-
turn. Theology will then congregate
with cowbells and tinware to welcome
them home.

The steamship was speeding over
the seas with a record breaking list
of passengers when one of the gay,
young and inquiring girls who are
found on every trip skipped up to

In England, toward which so many

such a stage as to leave no room for

George w., formally became prince re-

SECRETARY BIRD.
The Strange Snake Killing Hawk In
South Africa.

South Africa.
practically new to the eyes of the
American public, is the secretary bird
(Serpentarius serpentarius, Mller)
from South Africa, of which a pair
were recently received at the New
York Geological Park. Few visitors,
however, who view the stately. long
legged creatures stalking about in
their outside run or in the enclosures
of the ostrich house hardly realize
that these queer birds with beautiful
plumage and tail feathers two feet
long are famed snake killers. Yet
such is the case. AS a slayer of SER
pents the secretary has gained his
greatest reputation.
To the casual observer the bird ap-
pears as a lOng-winged long tailed,
blush gray hawk, mounted upon very
long legs. In fact, the bird is con-
sidered by ornitholOgists as a long
legged hawk, highly specialized and
adapted for ground hunting. The 20
illogical status of the secretary bird
has occasioned Il good deal of contro-
vcrSy but most modern authorities
admit its affinities with the Accipitrine
birds. and place it in a separate sub
order of that group.
The male bird stands four feet tall
the greater part of the body being
made up of legs and neck. The bird
has derived its odd and significant
name from the crest of long dark
plumes rising from the back Of its
head: for it looks somewhat like a
secretary of comical aspect with quill
pen stuck behind his ear. In general
color the bird is a bluish-gray with
long unfeathered legs. the wings,

of the president of a famous college
that at one time he allowed his wife to
persuade him of the uselessness OF hre

renewed his insurance. The same day
a fire in his wife's rooms destroyed
some of her dresses, which the profess

THE WIcKEDEsT OF CITIES.
American Traveller Says Irkutsk is the
Worst In All the World.

Geo Woodruff, an American bank
er. who recently went to China to in
vestigate the railroads there in con-
nection with a new loan, spent two
weeks in Irkutsk last October, says the
New York World. AS he had letters
to the mayor. he had an excellent OPP
portunity to see life in that Paris of
the wilderness. Mr.. Woodruff is a
globe trotter of renown. He is famil-
lar with Paris, London, Budapest,
Vienna, New York and other capitals,
but he declares that for genuine wick
edness they are outclassed by 1rkutsk.
"Irkutsk is not only the wickedest,
but it is the fastest city in the world"
saws Mr.. Woodruff soon after his re-
turn to New Work. There is more
night life in that little town of 100000
people than there is in all Paris or
New York. In one of the gambling
houses there saw as much as 100000
staked on the turn of a card a dozen
times in an evening. In the cafes !
saw gay parties drinking bottle after
bottle of wine at $50 per bottle. In
all my travels l have never seen so
many beautiful and dressed wo
men-and women Of all nationalities.
The opera there is almost as bril-
liant as the opera in Paris. Duels.
suicides, murders, are of weekly occur
renee, but a formal reception at st.
Petersburg could not boast of any
more culture than is to be found at
smart entertainment in one of the
fashionable homes in this Siberian
city. If any one imagnes New York is
swift, a visit to Irkutsk will open his
eyes. The quintessence of vice is to
he found there"
nkutsk is the capital Of Eastern ST.
IBERIA. 1t has wide streets, lined with
fine buildings.
Irkutsk has among its citizens more
millionaires than any city of its size
in the world, and they have to spend
their money in the city, for the reason
hat they are not allowed to leave the
province. Most of them, especially the
~ich ones. are convicts or the descend
rr's Of convicts who have amassed
fortunes in gold mining. The Balkal
,oounfairs. near Trkutsk. are filed with
"ich veins of gold, and it is not eXag-
ration to say that thousands of men
m this comparatively small town in
he heart Of Siberia have become rich
beyond the dreams of advice. The
Good Of gold has naturally attracted al
he luXuries of the world, and as usu-
NJ. the luXuries have brought vice.
There is nothing secret about any of
the vice. Every type of beauty is to
he found-beautiful gesha girls in ma
tive costume vying with Veinnese and
Partisan women in the latest creations
all the gambling houses are wide open
the more important conducted under
police protection. The cafes never
close. and it is between the hours OF
midnight and in the morning that
they are at their liveliest. Every one
drinks; most of the Russian women
smoke cigars. Leaving their Partisan
sisters to enjoy the cigarettes.
Tragedies as might be expected. are
frequent, and. suicides are so numer-
Gus that scarcely any attention is pait
to them except by the immediate rel
atives or friends.

He would start the echo going and
next morning at o'clock it would get

SCHOOL MEETING ENLIvENED
Reducing Tax Levy May Result
in Shortening School Year.

SHERIDAN, June 22.--Factional
strife. growing out Of the election of
two trustees and the amount to be ap-
propriated inthe school tax levy. made
the annual school meeting for the city
of Sheridan. held Monday a lively
affair
The Sheridan school tax of last year
was IS mills and 1t was asserted by
the liberal" faction that to cut the
levy to IL mills would give a fair re-
duction and at the same time an ada-
quate tax. The "5-mill" faction. COM
posed principally OF the heavy tax
payers of the town, urged a 5-mill
tax for the coming school year. This
faction carried the vote ON the levy.
This action means that the school
year may be cut short. for a provision
in the motion carried provides that as
soon as the funds from this tax are
exhausted there shall be no further
expenditure such as would incur a
bonded indebtedness. There is consid-
erable feeling over the result Of the
election, many Sheridan citizens de-
clarlng that a state Of Affairs whereby
the school year may be shortened on
