If so you can hardly get along without Spoons, Knives and Forks. The silver plated are, without a doubt, the most eco- nomical; they wear well; they look better and cost very little more than the ordinary kinds. Your sideboard is hardly com- plete without a silver tea set; silver cake and fruit haskets should also be placed there. The necessary things in cut glass are the: decanter, berry bowl and the celery dish. CALL AND INSPECT OUR LINE (ON TIME) GEO. T. BAKER & COMP'Y LOCATED IN CITY DRUG STORE.

Minn., a8 second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM The Princess Patricia is wise in refusing to become a Russian grand duchess. Old England is safer. Minneapolis 1s being treated to the spectacle of an entire police force helpless before one lone bandit with a gun, while men and women are being held up, robbed and shot at. Not only this, but while this has been going on for two weeks the police force has been apparently indifferent, and it is only after the number of victims has run into the score and one man has been wounded, perhaps fatally, that the force is acting with the vigor it should have displayed long ago. What’s the matter with Minneapolis, any way? CONVERTING SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. The recent trip of the twin city jobbers to northern Minne- sota is bearing fruit sooner than was expected. So wonderful were the tales told by the re- turning business men, that mem- bers of the legislature from the southern counties are anxious to see this “land flowing with milk and houey” for themselves, and a party of thirty lawmakers is expected to make the trip this month, covering practically the same ground traversed by the jobbers. p The interest in drainage is ‘ spreading ‘‘down below” and we “|only trust it will continue to spread. Ifit does, liberal ap- propriations by the next legisla- ture are almost certain. This country is willing to stand onits merits. We want state drainage of state lands, but we will not urge it if northern Min- nesota is not all we claim for it; just as good as to soil and ability to raise splendid crops as any other section of the state. All we ask is that southern ard central Minnesota come and see for themselves. We are ready to “show” them. = We are afraid to say it, even with our fingers crossed, but isn’t this Indian summer great! MORE USE FOR THE “BIG STICK.” When congress has the rail- road rate problem so well solved that it can be trusted to take care of itself, it might devote a profitable month or two to a regulation of the speed of trains, maintenance of tracks, building of coaches, etc., with a view to making railroad traveling more safe for the public. No urging in the matter ought to be necessary after congress reads the figures given outin the recent report of the interstate and commerce commission. Ac- cording to the commission, 9,703 people were killed and 86,008 were injured in railroad ac- cidents during 1905. This is an average of twenty-six killed a day, and 238 injured. And the worst of it is, this is an increase over 1904, Conditions are not getting better, but worse. Either railroads are getting more reckless, in that they are allowing the equipment to get rundown while they constantly increase the speed of trains, or the growing iush of business is making accidents more unavoid- able. Probably all these causes enter in. The mad frenzy of competi- tion is inducing companies to spend the millions in extensions that they ought to spend in im- proving tracks and beds and rolling stock; while this same competition demands faster and faster time between points.: - Now that'the government has shown what it can do in regulat- ing rates, here is a second prob- lem worthy of its best efforts. The “Sox” are the big IT ,of the whole baseball world today. _ DAY'S BAD BREAK. The final outcome of the John W. Johnson incident gives prom- ise of losing more votes for John A. Johnson than if the. name of the socialist-Jabor candidate had been allowed on the official ballot. The similarity of names was & grave danger to democratic sue- cess, there can be no question about that, and John A.’s man- agers were quick to see it and to act. But instead of approaching the subiject in a calm, gentleman- ly manner, Frank Day, the hig wedicine man in the Juhnson camp, flew into a rage and cried “frand,” and *dirty trick,” and ‘‘outrageous attempt to dic- franchise the voters,” until his vocabulary was fafrly exhausted. Then he started proceedings be- fore the supreme court and had the “Other Johnson’s” name stricken off the ballots. What has been the resuli? In- stcad of winning the sympathy of republican voters by his cries of fraud, Mr. Day has stirred their resentment and moved every fair minded man to dis- gust. Where he expected to gain thousands of sympathetic /otes, he has probably lost several thousand. Then, by de- priving their party of a cand:- date, Day has made bitter en- emies of the socialist-labor voters, and thrown probably four or five thousand members of this party into the republican ranks, for the time being. It looks like a bad case of “slop over.” While we are swelling with pride, and justly so, over being able to raise larger potatoes, bigger corn and higher grade wheat in our country than they can raise in southern Minnesota, let us not forget that the local Baptist Sunday school last week captured the banner at the state convention for being the best all- around Baptist Sunday school in Minnesota, Crystal Sky Columns. An explanation of a curious optical phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on frosty nights, which is called the “pseu- do aurora,” is offered by a scientist. The phenomenon takes the form of beautiful columns of silvery light standing over electric arc lamps and other bright lights and sometimes ap- pearing almost to reach the zenith. The scientist says that sometimes the evening star has a bright shaft below as well as above, while the rising moon stands in a broad column of light. These appearances are due to floating frost crystals which keep their reflect- Ing faces horizontal. On examination he found that the crystals concerned in the ‘exhibition’ were thin six sided plates of ice, never more than one mil- limeter in diameter. When the wind blows, these little plates are upset, and the columns of light caused by reflec- tion from their surfaces disappear. A Fruitarian Diet. A fruitarian diet consists of the fruits of trees (like apples, oranges, bananas and olives), the fruits of bush- es (like currants and raspberries), the fruits of plants (like strawberries and melon, lentils and beans and cucum- bers), the fruits of grasses (like wheat and barley and maize and oats), the fruits of nut trees (from filbert to co- coanut), together with some earth fruits (like potatoes), and a modicum of vegetables and salads. To these may be added butter, milk, honey and cheese, although their production is not 80 free from risk of contamination and animal infection as is the case with the products of the vegetable kingdom and the world of fruits. Grown -under healthy conditions, with diseased speci- mens easy to detect and remove, it is far more possible to live healthily and well upon a fruitarian dietary than upon the products of the slaughter house. Average Length of Sentences. “The English sentence grows shorter | ; and shorter,” says an essayist.- “Spen- cer, Sir Thomas Moore, Lyle and Syd- ney used sentences of the average of |. fifty-ive words. Nowadays the sen- tences of the average journalist are only fifteen words long. Bacon Intro- duced the short sentence. At a time when everybody else was using fifty words he took to twenty-two. Praise be to Bacon. Macaulay used a very short sentence. Its average length was twenty-three words. Dickens’ average was twenty-eight. Thackeray’s was thirty-one. Matthew Arnold’s sentences are long, but beautifully balanced. They are thirty-seveners. Henry James’ are longer aud, though Intri- cate, are well worth puzzling out, for in each of them a wonderful meaning I8 concealed. They are thirty-niners, Kipling’s sentences are twenty-oners, George Moore's are twenty-fourers and H. G. Wellg’ are twenty-threers. Ceylon Sharks. Bharks infest the waters of Ceylon, and the pearl divers of that region are in deadly fear of these wolves of the deep. The divers are mostly Tamils and Moormen and display marvelous en- durance and pluck. | To protect them- selves against the ever present danger to which the presence of the sharks ex- poses them the divers carry charms given them by recognized “shark bind- ers” who recelve a small government fee and a dozen oysters a day from each boat. Owing to the constant molse and splashing, the sharks are generally kept at a distance, an@ accl- dents are rare. . g Muatual. Mother (entering parlor suddenly)— Mr. Snowball kissing you?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine gub]lnlmdysn Siforial "article In which he writer assorted, in substance, that all diseaso should be regarded as criminal, Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind {8 due to the violation of cortain of Nature’s laws. But to suy that all sickness should regarded a8 criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically WIORE. It ‘would be harsh, unsympathetie, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, ‘over-worked housewlfo who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from’ weak- nesses, various displacements of pelvie organs and other derangements peculiar O peraont bearing of children, wih ifs Frequent bearing of ren, witl ex- acting demands upon the system, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing large family, is often the cause of weak- nesses, derangements and debility which are usrnuwd by the many household cares, and the hard, and never-ending work which the mother is called upon to gertorm. Dr. Plerce, the maker of that world-famed rem= ly for woman's pecullar weaknesses and 1lIs—Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription—says that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure of this elass of maladies is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not get the ne rest from her many household cares and labor to enable her to secure from the use of his “ Prescription its full benefits. It is & matter of frequent experience, he says, in his extensive practice in these cases, to meet with those in which his treatment fails by reason of the patient's inabllity to abstain trom hard work long enough to be cured. With those_suffering from Pml version and retroversion of the uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs, it 13 very necessary that, in addition to tak~ ing his “Favorite Prescription” they abstain from being veriv nmuch, or for long periods, on thelr feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much out-door air as possible, with moderate, light exercise i also very important. Let the tient observe these rules and the “Favor- te Prescription ” will do the rest. Dr. Pierce’s Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing onl% Send to Dr. R.V.

The little island also has its own flora, varying from that on the immediately adjacent mainland, among which may be men- tioned the “meat consuming” Drosera rotundifolia, while flowers and edible berries grow here in rank profusion and slender birches cast their shade over those who care to land and in- vestigate this restless little patch of earth. Birds are especially partial to this spot, wild ducks and other aquatic birds breeding here in great numbers. But the great event of the year is the “Volksfest” held upon the island ev- ery Ascension day, when dancing and “pratwurst eating,” washed down by the obligatory beer, is the order of the day.—Pall Mall Gazette MEN AND WOMEN.
