Among those who attended the
state convention of the Younger
Republican League held in the
Lowry Hotel, st. Paul, Saturday
were: Richard. Bassett, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. c. Sundahl, Willis Dahlem
and Ed L. Rattle. Although all the
counties of the state were not re-
presented there was large atten-
dance of the younger Republicans
in evidence. The Sixth District was
largely represented. The important
business was the election of state
officers, the adoption of amend
ments to the constitution and by
laws and the approval of resolu-
tions. Social security, an econom-
ically planned relief program, old
age pensions and unemployment in
surance were a part of the discus
sions on resolutions.

characterizes northern cities. Most
of the buildings are constructed
from a choral rock or finished with
light colored stucco. The only
means for heating homes are fire
places, and many homes are even
without that heating facility. Mia

to remember. At Hialeah Park she
witnessed the races at one of the
worlds most beautiful of such
places. She said that 1t was indeed
a strange sensation to be in place
where temperatures never ran less
than 70 degrees and where trees

BILL COMES TO
VISIT HERALD
VIII Be Entertained In Grand
Style BY Our Many MAIN
Street" Friends

The following interesting ant
welcome letter from j. d. Smith
Seattle, Wash, was received at tn,
Herald office this week:
Seattle, Wash,
March II, 1896,
Editor Sank Centre Herald,
Sank Centre, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
I am sending to you an old
friend to be your guest for a
time and hope you will show
him around. Just call him Bill.
The writer is personally finan-
cling Bills one-way transporta-
ton from the West Coast to
Main Street." and believes Bill
would enjoy meeting some of
the Main Street gang; among
others, The Herald office force,
the milk man, ice man, laundry
man, grocer and the butcher.
Was rather well acquainted
with Bill some years ago, but
have seldom met him in the
past four years. Seems Bill has
been more or less in retire
ment. Have prevailed on Bill to
take this trip as breathing
spell, and forget prediction
promises of cutting government
expenditures from twenty-four
to forty percent, balancing bud
gets and Blue Eagles. And by
the way, group of wise men
down at Washington informed
Bill not long ago, that this
Eagle has been classified as a
common buzzard; another
shock for Bill. Then poor Bill,
wobbly, but still on his feet, ran
into a flock of crazy alphabet
cal codes from AAA to ZZZ, and
Bill is so confused I feel this
trip will be fine thing for
Bill. Hope you like him.
Yours truly,
J. D. Smith.
No doubt, by this time our good
leaders will have found that Bill
lof the $500 variety was sent tt

AIR RIFLES DANGEROUS

Air rifles, the new high-powered
kind, are dangerous weapons when
placed in the hands of careless in
dividuals. During the past week
one of the plate glass windows at
the Gamble Store was broken by a
stray pellet from one of these mod
ern air guns. Chief of Police JOS
Kusba wishes to warn the parents
of the havoc which can be wrought
by these seemingly harmless air
guns, and urges them to admonish
their children to exert care in their
use.
