st. James And New Ulm Will
Make Fight for Woman's Re-
fOrmat0ry

The st. James Journal-Ga-
zette claims, that the second dis
trict has not been treated fair
ly in the distribution of state
institutions and finds that of the
first state institutions, the third
has six, the fourth has three,
the fifth has two, the sixth has
four, the seventh has two, the
eighth has five and the ninth has
three. The second district, one
OF the very best in the state,
only has one, viz: The normal
school at Mankato. In view Of
this state of things. The Journal
Gazette expresses the hope that
the board of control will locate
the proposed womans reforma-
tory in the second district and,
Of course, it favors ST. James as
the town wherein to make the
selection of a site. The claims
of st. James will be disputed by

SUNDAY ETIQUETTE

Observing the success of the
Billy Sunday methods in the
matter of conversion, Puck rises
to suggest that the attempt be
made to apply the same meth
DDS to other church ceremonies
and activities, proposing the fol
lowing formulas:
Pastor christening infant)--
What do you want to call this
hunk Of excess baggage, 30?
Presiding Parson-What mis-
cradle mutt giveth this skirt to
be married to this gink?
The Brides Father-I'm the
guy.
Industrious Usher-S Slide, you
icecarts! Slide!
Passing the plate-Come
across with the iron-men, you
low-lived tightwads!
Sunday School Superintendent
All of you little fivvers that
want to swat Satan stand or
one leg.

MOOrhead Saloons
Go Out of Business
Eight Thousand Persons Attend
Obsequies of Once Famous
Drink Shops

Moorhead buried its saloons
Thursday night and 5000 per-
sons attended the obsequies.
Bursting Of giant frecrackers,
skyrockets Illuminating the
heavens, streets crowded beyond
traffic control, sidewalks lined
with thousands of pedestrians,
incessant ringing of bells in buff
fets, frequent explosions of tor
pedoes and turning of the clocks
backward characterized the pass
ing of "a saloons.
At II p. m. the moon rose
over the city and watched the
saloon lights fail.
One by one Moorhead's insti-
buttons closed.
The House of Lords adjourned
at 7 p. m. It's stock was ex-
hausted. The Rathskeller, the
Gold Mine, dement's, Toole's
and other famous institutions
for the alienation of thirst,
closed at II p. m.
The death of the saloons was
decreed on May II, when the
voters of Clay county gave the
"drys" a majority of 1859.

SWhat's the use?" sighed the

Of Bunny's home life even his inti-

Of Bunny's home life even his inti- mates in business knew little. He had two sons, who were associated in his work to some extent. It was his boast that never since he married did his wife "have to work'.
 "We may have had to scrape the pan pretty close" he would say ,"but' thank the Lord, there was pan."
 In his early days Bunny had many hardships and engagements on the stage were few and far between, and at no time was his salary large, but all this was changed after he got into moving pictures. He amassed a for tune for he was a good business man and made excellent investments of his large salary. It is believed that he leaves his family we'll off.-New York Sun.

CRASHING AT THE SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar ried-would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot?
 When all is said and done, IS not the selection of the butcher more i'm portant to the home than the election Of mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of a postmaster; Is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the i'm portant things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow?
 Be it said to the credit of woman hood that it Is not, as rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; it is not the mother who teaches her children to say Now lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes 10 reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It Is. as rule, the woman who despises her home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows

Beer Kegs in Kansas.

Beer kegs we read, were used as ad. ditional wheels to bouy up Kansas moving machines in muddy fields. and thus saved the wheat crop. What we want to know is how came the beer kegs in Kansas ?-State Journal, Ian. sing.
 It has been a mystery to the city folks how beer kegs could facilitate the garnering of grain, ever since the news came out that the farmers were communicating all available kegs to attach to grain binders in the fields. The process is explained by a cores pondent to the Fl Dorado Republican. He says the principle is the same as the ear of corn on a stick, held just in front of mules nose. The shock CTS, he says, work hard trying to keep up with the keg.-Kansas City Star.

 Citrus growers in South Texas have petitioned the United States govern ment to send an expert to that sec tion to help the citrus growers pack their oranges, grapefruit and lemons this year. It is expected that their crop this year will reach 1000 car loads.
 In point of wealth Texas is now the seventh state of the American union. In 1850, with taxable property valued at $52, ,743, it stood 20th in rank Its taxable wealth at present exceeds $6,552, ,242.164. It will surprise mo- body to learn that Texas led all the sister states in the value of it's live stock when the last inventory was taken, but not many will be prepared for the statement that it also stood first in the value of its railroads and railroad equipment. In this connec- tion it may not be inopportune to re- mind the reader that Texas is the largest state in the union and that it ranks fifth in point of population.
 Let nobody be deceived as to the state of public feeling in the middle West regarding the jitney. At pres ent it is not pleasant vehicle to con- template nor altogether a satisfactory one to patronize, but even in its very crude and awkward infancy it has done and is doing great things. For example it has put quietus for all time on the theory that a traction franchise establishes and perpetuates a transportation monopoly. But the jitney bus is not going to confne its activities to the populous centers. It is already giving unmistakable indica- tions of reaching into the rural ac- commodation field. And the idea is ap- pealing strongly to the farming pop ulation, which is becoming enthusas- tic over it in some quarters and ask ing if the convenient stage coach of other days is not coming back in much more convenient form.

Mail Order Ten Commandments.

The following ten commandments are
offered for the guidance of catalog
house patrons:
L You shall sell your farm products
for cash whenever you can, but not to
US. We do not buy from you.
2. You shall believe our statements
and buy all you need from US, because
we want to be good to you, although
we are not personally acquainted with
you.
8. You shall send the money in adj
vance to give US chance to get the
goods from the factory with your money;
meanwhile, you will have to wait pa
tiently for weeks as that is our business
methods.
a. You shall apply to your nearest
city to aid you in building good roads,
so that you can conveniently get the
goods from the depot, for we do not
build country roads.
5. You shall buy church bells and
church fixtures from US and forward
the money in advance, for this is our
business methods, and you shall collect
from the business men in your city as
much money as you can for the bene-
fit of the churches, for it is against our
rules to donate any money for country
churches.
6. You shall buy your tools from us
and be your own mechanic in order to
drive the mechanics from your vicinity,
for we wish it so
T.. You shall induce your neighbor to
buy everything from US, as we have
room for more money-the less money
you have in your community. the soon
er we can put your local merchant out
of business and charge you any price
we please.
You shall look often at the beautiful
pictures in our catalogs, so that your
wishes will increase and so you viii
send in big orders although you are not
in immediate need of the goods, other
wise you might have some money left
to buy some necessary goods from your
local merchant.
9. You shall have the merchants
who repair the goods you buy from US
book the bills, so you can send the
money for his labor to us for new
goods, otherwise he will not notice our
influence.
10. You shall in case of sickness or
need apply to your local dealer for aid
and credit, as we do not know you. nor
care to.-Mineola (Tex.) Monitor.
