WARNING NATIONS HAVE
BOUGHT $1,000 HORSES.
No Danger of Shortage In This Coun-
try, Expert Declares.

Warning European nations have
bought and exported more than 75,00G
horses from the United States, but
there is no immediate danger that con-
tinued exports will cause an acute
shortage of horses in this country, says
G. A. Bell of the bureau of animal hus
bandry in the Agricultural Outlook.
1--WE could sell two or three times
the number already exported without
there being any appreciate shortage
of work horses" the statement adds.
''The kind purchased are for the most
part very mediocre animals, which
would ordinarily sell for less than S100
per head, and are a class Of which
we can we'll afford to be rid.
"The big demand for horses will
probably occur after peace has been
declared. At that time the countries
now at war, with the exception of Rus
STA, will no doubt be very short of
horses for their agricultural and other
work. European Russia had prior to
the war about 25,000,OO0 horses. This
country and Russia together have 80
per cent of all the horses in the world.
A very large number of horses in Rus
STA will be destroyed in the war, and
the remainder will no doubt be need
ed by Russia for her own agricultural
and other work.
1.-THE demands on the United States,
which has One-fOurth of the worlds
horses, will therefore be large and will
probably continue for a number of
years, for the rehabilitation of the de-
pleted horse stock Of any country is a
slow process. This country, however,
will be in a position to meet this de-
mand'

AERO COMMUTERS STATION.
Committee Inspects Site and Pro-
nounces Il Ideal Terminal.


nounces 1t Ideal Terminal.
Owners of flying boats and hydro
aeroplanes who may wish to commute
in them the coming summer will have
a landing station provided by the Aero
club at Seventy-secOnd street and the
East river, New York city.
A committee of the club inspected
the site and pronounced it ideal for an
air terminal for business men who
live up Long Island sound, on Long
Island or in Connecticut, and who may
wish to cut down the committing time
Of express trains or even fast steam
yachts by using flying boats.
The Automobile club has offered all
the facilities of its new garage and
clubrooms recently opened in Seventy
second street. There the flying boat
owner can pick up a mOtOrcar for the
final lap of his dash to his Office as
we'll as leave his car when he takes to
the air returning home in the after
noon.
The committee Of the Aero club
which approved the plan waxed so en-
thusiastic that it pointed out that even
Newport might be placed within the
Communication zone with mile a minute
air craft. 1t is also planned to estab-
lish landing on the Hudson river.

A CURIOSITY In DueIs.

In the history Of dueling it has sell
dom happened that neither adversary
would fire upon the other. Such a case
occurred at Moscow, where. after an
alteration in a tramway car, a young
staff lieutenant challenged a retired
general of over sixty to a duel
The challenge was accepted. and an
encounter with pistols was arranged in
a wood. When the signal to fire was
given, TO the great surprise of the Sec
Onds, neither duelist fired.
The former explained afterward that
he could not risk destroying young
life over triviality, while the lieuten-
ant said that it was impossible to fire
upon an opponent who had not raised
his arm.

OVER THE FALLS.

That Redwood Falls residents bear
charmed life and are accident proof"
was again proved Sunday at Redwood
Falls. C.. J. Farlee, in company with
three others, one Of whom was his young
son, Donald, were in a boat just above
the bridge and were swept under by
the current which is very strong at pres
ent. Three of the occupants of the
boat got out before it went completely
under the bridge and reached safety
on the rocks. Donald stuck tight to
the boat which went over the falls,
and was washed onto the bank by the
force of the current in the whirlpool
below. The boy was entirely unin-
jured save for a slight wound on one
knee and bad scare. The boat was
splintered to bits by it's forceful impact
with the rocks.
A good many years ago young
girl was carried over the falls in much
the same manner and escaped just as
miraculously. However, shooting the
Redwood Falls has never become a
popular pastime and the narrow escape
of Sunday is not likely to add to the
popularity of it.-Redwood Gazette.

Higher License For St. Peter.

When the new council meets to
organize next Tuesday evening, the
matter of determining the new license
policy will, perhaps, be the most inn
portant thing to occupy the attention
of the alderman. Sentiment among
the members of the council is understood
to favor an increase in the license fee
from $500 to $1,000 per year, with the
number of licenses to be granted limited
to five or six.
There has been some talk of an earlier
closing hour, 10 o'clock having been
Suggested, but this may not be touched
upon in the regulations that will be
drawn for the guidance of the proprietors
of the thirst parlors. These regulations,
it is said, will be of the most stringent
character, and applicants will be given
strictly in charge to be bound by the
letter of them, or run the risk of for
fixture of their licenses.
Up to the time Of going to press
yesterday afternoon the following had
made applications for license: Ben
Sorenson, Claus Umland, o. R. Maves,
Sven Bengston, Carl Gustafson, F. S.
Freeburg, Joseph A. Wagner, and Allie

BUTTERFIELD WILL STAY DRY.

Not withstanding the recount at

the case was thrown out of court Tuesday

auditor, we understand, who had about
as much to do with the case as chicken
whilst the village clerk and council of
Butterfield were not served according
to law. There is more than one way

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifuI-Get a rs cent bottle
Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
1iately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, it's strength and
it's very life, and if not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try 1t.

News Of Especial Interest to

VOTERS MAKE few CHANGES
Present Status Retained by Most Of
the Minnesota Cities Balloting
on Liquor Question.

Despite the prospect of county OPP
ton vote within year in many coun-
ties, cities of the fourth class which
voted on the saloon question seemed
inclined to retain their present status
and if any gains were made it was by
the VETS
Only four important changes were
made-Brainerd, Aneka and FairmOnt
going dry and St. Peter, after being
without saloons one year, switching
back to the wet column.
Anoka went dry, but charter pro-
vision would automatically have GUST
ed the saloons on May 1.
Fairmont, after a most strenuous
campaign, went dry for the first time
in it's history by 80 majority. Six sa-
looms and four wholesale establish
ments were put out of business. Frank
E. Wade was elected mayor.
In Faribault, where the drys waged
hard campaign, the returns showed
that the vets won by $50 majority,
the vote being 1,247 wet and 500 dry.
In Waterville and Sank Center the
vets had bad scare, although they
carried both places.
Sank Center went wet year ago
by AL This year the majority was
reduced to 49,
Kasota, just across the river from
st. Peter, went wet by a slightly in
creased majority, thirty-two more
votes being recorded for license than
for the anti-saloon propaganda.
Lake City Remains Wet.
Lake City, the place where the state
see it's way clear to GUST saloons and
the vets won by the comfortable mar
gin of 1872 votes.
Sleepy Eye voted wet by 40 major
ity. Last year the drys were defeat
ed by only Sc votes.
St: James, home of Governor Ham
mond, who signed the county option
bill, went wet by % votes.
LIE Sueur last year went wet by
three votes and it took a supreme
court decision to decide the issue.
This year the saloon forces rallied
column by SO votes.
The drys had the satisfaction of in
creasing their majority in Luverne by
Al votes. Last year the Rock county
metropolis voted to GUST the saloons
by 81. This year the drys polled 101
more than the vets.
Last year Marshall went dry for the
first time by So votes. This year it
repeated, but the majority was II.
Pipestone also went dry, but the
majority of % year ago was reduced
to 10.
Blue Earth went dry with ven
geance, the vote being 351 against sa-
Icons to 1876 for.
Fergus Falls, the largest dry city
in the state, did not change front, but
voted to keep out saloons by 698 to
524
