Berau-AReve Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A FEAR IN ADVANCE Aintered in the Postottice xt Grand Rapids, . Minnesota, as Second-Cluss Matter IN THE STATE. God be praised for Minnesota’s trib- ute to manhood; for the redemption of the state from such rule as that to which it bas bowed in the past and that which threatened it for the fu- ture. John A. Johnson is elected gor- ernor by more Lhan 20,000 votes by the same men who gave Theodore Revse- velt a plurality of from 80,000 Lo 100,- 000. é This is one of Ahe most amazing transformations in American polities: Tt bespeaks a practical dissolution of the party tie. And thdt isvexactly what happened in Minnesota. Party lines were. “practically wiped out. Democratsv0ted for Ruose- velt and Republicans voted for Par- er; but they pretty nearly all voted for John A. Jobuson. Hence the result which stands almost unique in political history. It was a merited victory. John A. Jobuson deserved the wonderful com- pliment that he has received. Every- sere it was the mar who compelled dmiration and won confidence. The eople believed in him, and Uhey have made no mistake. Never, through all this arduous campaign, has he made ne mistake, has he uttered a word nworthy of bimself at his best. Nor uld he have doue so if he could have een assured that it would make him sovernor. Because he represents this high type of wanhood he has received the highest honor that the state uas lo bestow. There is no need at this time to utter one unkind word with reference to tbe defeated candidate, or to refer to the extraurdipary features of the campaign that ended so disastrously for him. It is enough for us that the people haye spoken and rendered this elorious verdict. And to the peuple we ascribe it. The Democratic party tnade it possible, aud earned the con- fidence of all by its platform and its andidate. but itacknowledges freely | the support of the great army of Re- publicaus, holding principle higher party, without whom this tri- umph would not h+ve been possible. All honor to Minnesota for her inde. pendence and her just discrimination. » us who have been in the thick he fight and borne its burdens the success almost compens:ites for the othe appointments of the day. Minnesota Democracy — triumphs, t ts appeal Lo the intelligence, 1 Lhe conscience, the moral sense of the eople The party grows strong and triumphant through this vindication of its great appeal. Jobo A. Jonson will be governor of ailthe people. The same snuplicity, dignity, earnestness and manhood that | have characterized him’ throughout tbis campaign will be with bim there, They are sumed qualities, bub} to the m He is what he has shown himself to be through all bis ife of struggle and achievement, and he will be numbered with the great eovernors of Minnesota. Withrall its heart The Glove congratulates him ind the people of this state, who have ned to know and trust and honor him.—Sv. Paul Globe. bo 4 Vita —_— => The Winning of The West. The West is no longer regarded as the land of the Indian, cowboy, six- shooter, dance ball, prairieand moun tain. These no longer predominate. They are but 1ocidental to the great factors that have won the West to its commanding place in the civilization and culture of the country. Ip isnot Lo be wondered at that after the red man had been driven back and on be the ever and onward march of the white man, that after the rugged, picturesque and ve! men had been restrained and moditied by centact and association that the West should slowly and surely give to herself a culture and retivemert be- fitting ber strengthwand her resources, Though her society may be frowned upon by the Kast, its blood is as blue and its source as undefiled as any that lows among the Knickerbockers, in New Hampshire hills, or in the shadow of Bunker Hill. ‘The keenness of boiling hoofs and the pungency of hides and fur may bea little farther removed from the aris ty uf the ast than is the rendering of Tard or the smell of the mine blast, bu it once was there, and there being noth: ing to be ashamed of in neither Lhe one nor the other, what matters it how many seasons removed they be.

The West is getting out of its raw state, and making finished goods. Its grains are: going into flours and about where they are raised.

River and harbor committees come out to see what should be done for the water: ways.’ Qfticials of the yovernmeut come tu the West to see what should | be done with public ‘lands. Congress gives its approval and aid to the re- clamation of arid lands in the West. The wise men of the East now want to kuow what the strong mep of the West want. he West is strong in domain, strong in laud, strong in soil, strong in minerals, strong politically, strong mentally, strong inthe strenght of its strength. ‘he West is being wou and held.—Duluth ‘rade News. Too Much Ries. “Too much wild rice”. This is the lacouic explanation of Frank Spurbeck, deputy collector in | the local customs service, far the poor duck shooting the nerthern lakes offer this season, says Duluth Herald. Mr. Spurbeck has just retuned wit a party of friecds fromsa hunting trip general Lhing, the water fowl! are to be seen by the thousands of this time of the year. bey found the birds very scarce. “T can think of no other reason than the great profusion of wild rice i for the scarcity of ducks’, continued Mr. Spurbec. ‘‘1 never saw it quite so plentiful before. Every little lake and stream, even down to the smaller ponds, appears to have its full portion of the stuff, atfordiug excellent feed- ing grounds. fur the ducks. V'he indi- wus are gathering one of the largest rice larvests on record, audare selling lots of it to the seetlers. In one place 1500 bushels of the cereal are stured in a warehouse for future sonsump- tion. “You see the great abundance of wild rice makes the matter of food for the ducks an easy problem. Asa rule this particurar food is plentiful only in the larger bodies of water, such as Big Bowstring lake, and the ducks are forced to gather there in their anual flight southward, passing by the smafier bodies of water. But cons ditiots are changed the present sea- son, As soon as the birds are disturs bed on the larger lakes they may seek outa swaller body of water, off some- where in the woods where there is no danger of their being disturbed. Fird- ing plenty cf rice to satisfy their wants the chances are they will re- main in the little lake until the time comes for them to continue their southward flight. “Almost every bunter coming back from the northern jakes comp'‘ains of the poor shooting. Good shooting should be affordeda full month earlier than this. Here it is along in Novem- ber, and only a few birds to be had. | The matter of the rice is the orly reasonable explana ion of the unusual fact Lo be advanced”. y HOMESTEADERS FEEL SATISFIED. Residents of the Big and Little Fork Valleys Anticipate-Easy Winter. Residents of the Big and Little Fork valleys were never in better condition to stand a hard winter that this year, according to thestatement of Andrew Nessen, a homesteader, who resides on his claim near the village of Laurel. “Crops have been generally good in + our locality”, said Mr, Nessen last night, “and everyone in that portion of the state is satisfied with the pros- pecis of getting through a hard winter in good shape “Several towns in the Big and Little ys were opened this year and there has been a decided increase in settlement. A majority of the homesteacers have made permanent homes on their claims and are depend- ing upon what crops they can raise for entire support. Both rivers are from their junction with the Rainy and little trouble has been! experien- ced in getting produce to market. “A large number of homesteaders have been residing on their lancs for several years and others are just prov- ing up. itis possible that a majority who entered on the lands last spring were squatters and it will not be long veater part of the valley s been entered will be pat- ented”, "PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Office ind Residence.

Peabody (Rep.) by Iva Adams (Dem.) is no longer seri- ously ‘disputed Wy the Republican leaders. - All the other candidates on the Democratic ticket also appear to be elected. Republicans allege fraud in the balloting in some Denver pre- cincts and threaten to contest the state election. However, as Adams has a plurality of 10,500, of which 5700 is in the state outside tbe city and couaty of Denver his election would sesm to Le assured beyond doubt. Adams ran ahead of all other can- didates on ‘his ticket and complete returns may show that some Repu- biican candidates are elected. Adams* Denver plurality is 4822 and he carried his home county (Pueblo) by 5500. Both sides are claiming the tlirce congressmen, John EF. Shaffroth (Dem tims that he has been elected congressman ab large, but the returns are so incomplete that tbe result can- not be stated positively. The Democrats will control both branebes of the leyislature unless Denver members-elect are thrown cut on contests.

Birds,. however wary, are curious, and will approach a strange object at the risk of their lives, as wild-fowl shooters know. A singular instance of curiosity is naw reported of a goose in a small village of the- Duchy of Baden. When the “garde-champetre” rang his bell and read his decrees to the assembled peasants, a white and black goose, eccentric by its intelli- gence, perhaps a goose of genius, left the flock and planted itself before him, and listened with lofty and solemn stare peculiar to geese, human or otherwise. When the crier moved on the goose followed, and anly returned ta its companions after the round was made. It continued this attention for some months.—London Globe. Cotten Growing in Paraguay. Cotton has been cultivated in Para: guay for many years, but hitherto lit- tle or no attempt has been made to export it. In the last year, however, considerable interest has been mani- fested in this product by cotton deal- ers and experts who have visited tite country. Samples forwarded to the United Kingdom have met with con- siderable approval, and one shipment to Manchester was pronounced “very good standard quality.” Paraguayan eotton is said to resemble the Egypt jan variety. Besides the white varie- ty, there is also a colored cotton. The prices obtained for Paraguayan cot- ton in Europe are 5d a pound for the white variety and Gd for the red— London Engineer. High on the Hills.

Ghostly still, and slow, The long Cloud-shadows softly float High on the hills.
