WALLED LAKE,
Where its w alter Comes From or
Where 1t Goes Is Mystery.

Where its Water Comes From or
Where It Goes Is Mystery.
One of the curiosities of the west is
the walled lake." something over a
hundred miles west of Dubuque, la.
This lake is from two to three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In.
some places the wall is ten feet high.
fifteen feet wide at the bottom and,
five feet on top. A remarkable cir
cumstance with reference to this odd
lake is the size of the stones used in
its construction. inasmuch as the whole.
of them varies in weight from three
tons to 100 pounds There is abun-
dance of stones in Wright county, but
surrounding the lake to the extent of
five or ten miles there are none.
No one has any idea as to the means
employed to bring these stones to the
spot or as to who constructed this lake.
Around the entire lake is a belt of
woodland half mile in length CON-
posed of oak. With this exception the.
country is a rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted there at the
time of the building of the wall. In.
the spring of the year 1856 there was
a great storm. and the ice on the lake
broke the wall in several places. The
farmers in the vicinity were obliged to-
repair the damages to prevent inunda-
ton. The lake occupies a ground sur
face of $500 acres. The depth of the
water is as great as twenty-five feet
The water is. clear and cold: the soil
is sandy and loamy: 1t is singular
fact that no one has been able to as
certain where the water comes from,
nor where it goes. yet it is always.

The senate did perfectly right in
voting down the Burton amendment
which provided for the passage Of all
vessels through the Panama canal
free, and in refusing to strike out
the provision exempting American
ships from the payment of tolls.
The formal protest against dis
elimination by Great Britain was
thus answered.

Candidate Wilson is Wise.

Presidential Candidate Wilson has
announced that he will not go about
the country exhibiting himself and
making campaign harangues from
the tail end of Pullman car. We
believe Governor Wilson is showing
good sense in this decision. The
touring over the country of candi-
date for the high office of. president
is undignifed and makes him and his
speeches commonplace and destroys
his prestige and popularity.-Fari-
bault Pilot.

If those sMississippi and Florida
negroes who were so shamefully
treated at the bull moose convention
have any influence among their

they have-they will not overlook
the opportunity to take revenge
upon Mr.. Roosevelt by launching
a movement to oppose him at the
polls.

A Mess of Glarina Hvpocrisies.

A greater mess of glaring hypo-

together. The underlying founda-
