Plans for the annual outing of the Northwestern Editorial association are now being perfected. The as- sociation will probably go to Winni- peg, take the Canadian Pacifle to Warroad,down the Rainy river to International Falls and Basswood lake. going from there to Winton and Ely. on the Iron Range railroad, over- land. The remainder of trip will be made by rail and they will visit points through the Iron Range to Duluth, where they will disband and depart for their several homes. .They will be banqueted at Winni- reg. Koochiching and Warroad. All of the editors and their families are eligible to this excursion, and it will be one of the pleasantest the association bas ever planned. The same trip was attempted five years ago, but owing to the low water at that time the navigation on the Rainy tiver was poor and the trip was abandoned.

A brilliant jpianoist had just rendered one of Wagner’s most difficult pieces anda murmur of well-bred applause hac followed. Then, very softly and tenderly, like a sweetly - temulous old voice reciting pathetic memories, the ivory keys sent the plaintive » melody of ‘My Old Kentucky Home” sighing through the room. ‘Phe idle chatter ceased. Every mind was busy with bitter-sweet memories and the air was filled with the scent of vanished clover, the warm fragrance of new-mown hay and the echo of habbling brooks. ‘The simple tune knocked at the door of every heart and the ghosts of dead days came trooping forth in answer, Analimost forgotten poet, Robert Hinckley Messenger, quaintly wished for “old wood to burn, old books to read and old friends to talk with.” He might have added—old songs to sing and old tunes to be played in the long twilight, while he dozed and dreamed in his easy chair. It isa fact that none of the popular songs of late years survive a ‘‘May fly’s ex- istence.” They catch the lip but do not hold the heart for, unlike the old tunes, they have been written to catch the passing fancy—they are ‘now birthmarked with tbe joys and bwoes of human race. Sv, too, isit with the old plays, and certain it is that no story—between boards, or on ‘the boards will ever take so lasting a bold on American public as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s unrivaled sketch of incident during an epoch that will always mark United States history.

McGuire of the Northeast Experi- ment Farm at Grand Rapids will be here on that date and will talk o® dairying and crops that do best in northeast Minnesota.

Every farmer within walking distance should plan to come to Northome for that day—there will be a new thought and new encouragement! yarch—Battleship Alabama. for each, LARGER REWARD Total of $1,200 Now Offered For the Slayer of Anna Kintop.

WS MUST ATTEND TO BIZ Postmasters Must Keep Out of Politics and Attend Strickly to Business says Postmaster General. A recent new dispatch from the national capital conveys the intelli- gence that is the future postmasters will be expected to attend strickly to the duties of their positions and in a case which recently was brought be- fore Postmaster General! Cortelyou from Louisville he decided the case instanter by saying tht the official PROF. HICK’S ~ PREDICTIONS How the Weather Man Sizes Up May —Throws in a Few Rain Thunder Storms and Tornadoes. According to Iri R. Hicks, the weather prognosiator, the tirst storm period of the month of May will be central on the 6th, and will bring rising temperature and great humidi- ty. There will be a _ phenomeally warm wave for the season, and vici- ous lightning and thunder storms with down pour rain and hail. ‘or- nadoes are very probably in many localities. A sudden reaction to cool bringing frosts, will follow these storms, The second storm period is central on the 12, 13 and 14. Marked thunder storms will occur on and touching the 14th, followed by sudden change to very cool. During this. as during other storm periods of May, there is danger of tornadoes and other simi- lar storms. Third storm period is central on the 17th, covering the 16th to 20th in- clusive. The* baromenter will fall about the 17th, with: corresponding complained of must either resign !acrease in temperature, all followed from the poli:ical committee of which he was a member or else his office. It is given out that new rules and and regulations are to be published and given out which will go even further than to prohibit postmasters from holding pusitions on political cowmittees. Mr. Cortelyou has a motto which reads: “The best service a postmaster can give his party is to conduct bis post- offices in a proper manner.” Postmaster General Courtelyou’s views on the subject come from his knowledge as.a political manager, as well as from his experience as a federal officia!. He says that new rules will be but a summary of those already in existence, including the formal schools prescribed by the civil service Jaws, as- well as. the order which have been issued from time to time by the presidents, ‘These will all be codified and printed in the form of a circular, which will be sent to every official of the postal service. The postmaster genera) insists that any official in the service ought to know from these rules aud regula- tions how far he may be activein It he does uot, the depart- ll] supply the necessary dis- cipline, going even so far as actual dismissal, The whole subject lately has been brought to the attention of the post- Master general in connection with the action of the assistant postmaster at Louisville. This oftivial became a member of the Republican state central committee. The objection raised was that the committee was engaged in raising funds for politicol purposes, and it is said by the post- master general that snch work should nct be engaged in by the officials of the service. The department does not rule that officials not in the classified service shail take no part in politics, but points out how such work, if conspicuous or if,connected with financial operations of a polit- ical party, is contrary to good discip- line and the good of the service.

In every daily cycle of heavy rains and thunder storms will set in at this time’ ree peating themselves about the same hour of the day and night for several days in succession. The series of storms will terminate in a wide and sweaping storm of rain, wind and thunder,followed by change to much cooler. The fourth storm period sis centra! on the 220d, 23rd and 24th.
