CLARK g. MEYER.

Bread has been, since time imme-
mortal, referred to as "the staff of
life" and justly so, because it is the
most general article of food known to
civilized man. In the olden times all
bread was baked in the home, partly
because of custom and partly because
there were no bakers who could turn
out bread, cakes, pies, doughnuts, cook
les, etc., as pure, wholesome and ap-
petizing as that sold at Clark & Mey-
er's, at 302 North Cedar street. In
these days there is no reason for the
housewife doing her own baking ex-
cept because she likes to. Price of
bakery goods does not justify home
baking, and no bread was ever purer
than that baked in this shop.

r. r HANNA

Mr.. Fl. E. Hanna is a much appre-
ciated merchant in more ways than
one, as he conducts one of the prin-
cipal furniture and undertaking es-

most commendable manner. Having

lished thirty years ago and every arti-
Gle is sold with a money back guaran-

M. s. ALEXANDER.

No industries are more important
than those supplying lumber, building
material and coal and without these
commodities it would be impossible to
house the various industries of our
county. One important dealer in this
line is Mr.. M. S. Alexander, at 419
North Cedar. He is a dealer in rough
and dressed lumber, sash, doors,
blinds, cement, coal, etc. He buys at
lower figures than many firms of a
similar nature, and the saving he is
able to afford his patrons has been an
important factor in the trade which
he has built up. The business is in
the able hands of Mr.. Alexander and
his assistants, who are active business
men of high standing.

EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.

We crawl about on the bottom of a
sea of air. Only very recently have
we learned to swim in it. We call the
performance flying"
The gaseous mixture composing this
ocean Of air is SO fluid and transparent
that we hardly realize it's presence.
Doubtless fishes in like manner are
not conscious of the water in which
they swim
But the air is much denser than we
imagine. A small child blows up toy
balloon. Probably the air inside the
inflated rubber bag is at a pressure of
no more than two atmospheres, yet the
balloon has become in effect a solid
object. A cubic foot of air weighs
considerably over an ounce. A dry
goods box three feet cube will contain
two and one-half pounds of air. This
means, of course, at sea level.
AS one climbs mountain or goes
up in a balloon the air becomes
thinner, it's density diminishing stead
lily until perhaps $50 or 200 miles from
the surface of the earth there is vir-
tually none of it left. 1t is reckoned
that one-half of the entire bulk of
the atmosphere is below the three
mile level
The sea of air is warm sea, con-
serving the heat delivered by the sun
upon the earth. If it were suddenly
removed we should find ourselves ex-
posed to the cold or outer space (466
below zero F.) and would be frozen

ROGERS, THE COAL MAN.

The, general satisfaction which has
been expressed with the service rem
dered by Mr.. ]. F. Rogers, coal dealer
on West Bridge street, has stamped
him as one of the most successful
firms in the business. All grades of
coal are handled from the Illinois and
Kentucky kind to the product of the
Pennsylvania mines. The coal dealer
can be of immense help in advising
customers as to proper kind of fuel
to use for homes, as the Kentucky
coal is better for some furnaces and
the coal from other sections is more
satisfactory for others. For satisfac-
tory results we suggest our readers

Mr.. Mena would have us view
Porfirio Diaz as a traitor, because:
1T was enough for him to begin
what is known by the name of The
Policy of Cancellation, which at the
bottom was merely the violent revo-
cation of almost all the Laws of Re-
form Despite the ordinances
which prohibit the establishment Of
monastic orders in the Republic, the
country again became ridden with the
monks and nuns converts, which,
under pretext of establishing schools
and charitable institutions, abounded
in every city. y The clergy took
deliberate hold of instruction, not only
the primary grades but high and pro-
fessional schools, while public govern
ment schools closed day by day, or
were poorly attended on account of
the scarcity of teachers due to the
miserable salaries, or merely on ac-
count of the absence of pupils who
were not compelled by the authori-
ties to attend the official schools. The
clergy multiplied it's schools, semi
naries and colleges, spreading it's per-
nicious doctrines everywhere, espe-
cially amongst the children of the
higher classes, and counting among
their pupils the children of the high
est official authorities
This hardly agrees with Mr.. Mena's
statement that the clergy kept the
people "in perpetual state of blind
ignorance"
Mr.. Mena lets the cat out of the bag
when he says:
And because the Mexican Revolu-
ton is conscious of the tears and the
blood which is the price which the
Republic has paid, and of the devasta-
ton caused, it understands that it
must justify such devastation and
such shedding of tears and blood be-
fore the mother country and before
the whole world. And the only justi-
fication possible and only reason &C
ceptable is, not the conquering, but
the definite humiliation of the reac-
ton; the real, assured, confirmed
death of Clericalism and plutocracy,
names which in Mexico, and, as in
Mexico, also throughout the world,
mean reaction. The reactionary
party in Mexico must, therefore,
abandon all hope of any possible con-
Citation with the triumphant Consti-
tutionalism.'

L. H. NEITHER.

Modern methods and machinery
have well-nigh revolutionized the max

has improved and the comfort of the
feet has been given more careful at
tention. Every one wants to buy the
shoe that will look the best and wear
the longest without losing it's appear
ance, and such are the shoes sold in
Owatonna by Mr.. l.. HI. Mettler, at
100 North Cedar This is one of the
most progressive and modern shoe
stores in the city and his shoes are
guaranteed to wear and the fit of the

store are equally economical and in
proportion wear just as long and give
just as good satisfaction.

One of the principal industries in
