Matrimonial Market.

The Hitabadi and Rasumati, native
Indian papers, publish between them
some curious instances bearing on
the state Of affairs that prevails in
the matrimonial market of the pres
ent day. Here is one of them: An
elderly gentleman of Cooch Behar, a
widower of slender means h&ving a
manageable daughter to dispose Of,
was on the lookout for suitable bride
grooW.. But the prohibitive rates rul.
ing in the market was aginst him,
and he at last hoped that with the
dowry he would obtain from the mar
rage Of his only son he would marry
away his daughter. But as i'll luck

gentleman, finding no other way open,

INDIANS SPEND ANNUITIES
Only One Sober Red Man in Town, Ac-
cOrding to Superintendent
Rogers
INSCRIPTIONS Bootleggers Accused of
Preying on Reservation
Residents

After the Indians of the reservation
at Tower had been paid their annuities
by Superintendent Reagan they pro-
ceeded to spend their money freely for
alcohol and whisky. AS result Fri
day there was bat one sober Indian
family in or about Tower, according to
Mr.. Reagan. The red men and women
of Vermillion Lake engaged in an or
gle Thursday night and Friday.
Superintendent Reagan said that
paying the Indians is but short cut
to handing out money to INSCRIPTIONS
bootleggers who have been preying on
the reservation residents.
One Family Penniless
One family that received $72 was
penniless Friday night. The husband
and father, who earlier declared his
intention of purchasing supplies for
the winter, obtained several bottles of
whisky and a gallon jug of alcohol.
He and his wife became greatly intox-
icated.
Every cent of the money went to
several men who are suspected of ply
ing their trade in this vicinity on SINH
lar occasions.

that while the application of the prin-
ciples of good morals is of the highest
Importance, nevertheless the man
whom it is sought to influence by these
considerations lends an unwilling ear
unless at the same time his material
wants are satisfied.
There is placed upon those in power
and authority at the present time a
very great responsibility. No doubt
they will measure up to it.
What / have said has not been ut
tered with any feeling of dependency.
On the contrary there is ground for
optimism. We have perhaps been
more or less enveloped in clouds of
doubt and distrust and hesitancy, but
I think we are arriving at better un-
derstanding; that we are approaching
the dawn of the greatest prosperity.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-11-04
WE. ARE APPROACHING DAWN
OF A GLORIOUS PROSPERITY

1912, this country produced in agricul-
tural products alone SO, 299, 100000, 80
per cent. of which at least was in crops.
The other 20 per cent, it is estimated,
was fed to animals on the farms. In
minerals it produced in value 81 ,918,-
326,253.
While the figures relating to other
countries have not been secured, it is
universally recognized that the United
States is far in the lead in the produc-
ton of corn, wheat, oats, tobacco, cot
ton, petroleum, pig iron, steel and cop
per; and the location of the United
States in temperate zone, together
with the richness of it's soil, insures an
ever increasing production of crops on
the average; and they are the real bas-
is for expecting the greatest material
growth and progress.
Another fact worthy of mention is
that the balance of trade between this
country and all other countries for the
fiscal year ended June 30 amounted to
$685., 100000 in our favor.
AS result of our great wealth and
material progress, the people gener-
ally are better supplied with the ne
cessaries of life than those of any
other country. There are exceptions
depending upon local causes, but gen.
orally speaking the people are better
fed, clothed and housed; and, what is
all important, the wages received by
the laborer are far in excess of those
of other countries. 1t is for this rea-
son that immigrants from all parts of
the world are coming in by the thou
sands.
Again, the basis of transacting bust
ness has been much improved during
the last few years. In passing, it must
be admitted there has heretofore been
some ground for complaint. This was
not local, nor did it apply to any parti-
cular class or classes. But at present
capital is more considerable of labor,
and vice versa.
Business men are more frank and
fair and honest than formerly in their
dealings with each other. Men in pow
er are more thoughtful in their treat
ment of those who are more or less de-
pendent. Those holding positions of
trust have been brought to recognize
fully the rights and interests of their
benefciaries and are giving them more
information and better protection. The
rich are more liberal and more chart
table, and the poor are more grateful
for what they receive. In short, the
relations between all are becoming
closer and better understood.
We have been passing through a
period of transition. The subject is
too large to admit of detailed reference
at this time, but it is sufficient to say
