John Burroughs, the poet and natu- talist of the good gray head, in the ccurse of a recent magazine article has this to say of the: men who make and give away millions, remarks the St. Paul News: “When you try to give away your monstrous fortunes. to open your dam, the danger begins, because you cannot return the waters to their natural channels. You must make new channels and mav do more harm than good. It never can go pow where it would have gone. ‘The wealth is in a measure distributed without enriching those’from whom it originally came.” A striking illustration of a great truth. : The multimillionaire dams up the streams of wealth which else might bave turned a thousand little wheels of industry and watered many plains and brought cheer to many. When his dam is full and be lets a little out it never gets back where it came from. Rockefeller gathered the springs of wealth from a thousand independent operators in vil. When he let goa little of it—a very little—for Chicago university it went to other than those from whom it was taken. Carnegie had the business of steel making dammed up by a tariff wall. when he cuta hole in his dam and gave some of his wealth to public libraries it cut a new channel, Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest robbed the rich and gave to the iq Our commercial highwaymen rob rial and poor alike and give their tithe to| cial. society in penitence. The trouble with such penitence is where Mr. Brrroughs points it cut: The big robber can repent, but be cannot make restitution. What Does He Mean? The Crookston Times advises Bro.

GIRL IN TRANCE FOR SIX DAYS ws was received here Thursday from Bowstring that Ethel, the 6- vear-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Beg Johnson, who formerly conductea a laundry in this village, had just re- covered from a trance of six days du- ae. At'the supper table a few evenings ago the child complained of not feel- ing well. Getting up from tue table she went to an adjoining bedroom and lay down upon the bed. A few min- utes later when her father went to see how she was getting along he was astonished and dismayed to find that life was seemingly extinct. The fof the father and mother at the tly sudden demise of their tions were made for the iater- meus, Howéver, vhe body remained warm/and the parents kept it, clothed in a shroud, refusing to permit burial. Wednesday they were overjoyed when the little form moved, the little eyes opened and the weak, childish voice was heard. * The vhysicians are puzzed and unable to tell what caused the child to go into a trance. She is now as well as ever, except for weakness. GETS FORTY DAYS IN COUNTY JAIL Leonard Blanchard, charged with constructive contempt of court, was found guilty Tuesday before Judge McClenahan and sentenced to forty days in the county jail. Blanchard was one of the veniremen drawn to serve on the jury in the Gardner case. He was examined as to his fitness to serve and qualified. Later it developed that he had ex- pressed opinions in the case and had argued the various features of it on mauy occasions. It was proven that he also attended the original trial. Blanchard isa young man of this city, and is married. Much sym- pathy is felt for his wife who is very ill, as is also their baby daughter. REV. WALEER’S LAST SERMON Rev. Andrew Walker, of the Pres- byterian church has tendered his resignation and tomorrow will de- liver his farewell sermon in Grand Rapids. During the past two anda half-years Rev. Walker has been in charge of the church here. He has been tireless and energetic in his work and has been successful in building up the congregation of which he was the head. He will leave ou Monday next for northwestern Can- ada, ana a host of Grand Rapids friends will wish bim every success in his labors. A Father and His Son. The Rockefellers, father and son, are meq of resources other than finan- Gee is pow in hiding some- where flouting the courts and setting ‘the warst possible example in the matter of obedience to law. He is probably ‘declining to show himself “by. advice of counsel.’ The other is looking faithfully after the spiritual welfare of his Sunday school class, and interpreting the most difficult passages of scripture in a confident way. How patiently and polite'y the class would sit under his ministra- tions if his claims to consideration were based upon the contents of his noddle rather than upon those of his wallet is a question—but not a diffi- cult one to answer. In certain things we are going at a great gait in this country, and when and where we shall pull up may well engage attention. A recent report about the elder Rockefeller located him at Naples. Has he sought the shadow of Vesu- vius for the purpose of studying up- heavals.— Washington (D. C.) Star. NEW TOWN WAS OPENED TUESDAY A large number of settlers upon lands in town 68-23 of Itasca county for two nights and’a day spent prac- tically the whole of their time in the hallway of the third floor of the Fed: eral building in Duluth near the doors leading to the laad office. They were there, most of them, for the pur- pose of making filings on land upon which they had previously settled. The town was thrown open Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock and in the neigh- borhood of 100 filings were made. The tirst delegation of land seekers, 20 in number, arrived Sunday night from International Falls. Another delegatiun arrived Monday night and joined the camp in the hallway. Most of them are young men, rug- ged, sturdy looking, with plenty of tan and health. They are well dressed, and in the passing crowd on a city street it would be difficult to pick them out as farmers. In town 68-23 it is estimated thére are about 7U firsteclass claims. The rest of the town is pre-empted by timber scrip or is not desirable for agricultural purposes. Tbe settlers all say they are well satisfied with their claims. They are opposed to reforestration and in favor of drains uge of swamp lands, Thirty days are allowed in which to make filings, but those interested believe that by making filings imme- diately after the upening of the land they will lessen the danger of con- tests in that they will -have priority right on the ground—that they both settled on the Jand first and filed on it first. MORE STRIPPING TRACKS AT BOVEY gaan The stripping track which is being laid from the Canisteo mines will lead to a short distance back of the Itasca Ski club’s slide, where the dumping ground will be located. Active work is going on at the Hol- man wine, where several stripping tracks are being laid. Operations will be more extensive at the Holman this year than at the Canisteo, though both properties will produce an ime mense tonnage of ore. The party of minivg men consisting of Supt. J. C. Greesway, J. U. Sebe- nius, H. C. Dudley and W. J. Leach has returned from a month’s trip in the east and south, where they ine spected several ore washing plants and bought the material for the new washing plant to be installed here. PRESBYTERIANS TO BUILD CHURCH Perhaps the first church which will be built in the proposed model town of Coleraine will be that of the Pres- byterian denomination, steps having already been taken for the erection of a house of worship by members of that church. Arrangements have been made with Supt. John A, Green- way for a lot, and as soon as the rail- road gets in work will begin. A fine structure i3 contemplated. Meetings were held Sunday by Rev. Jamison and Rev. Blair, of Duluth, services beiug held morning and even- ing at Johnson’s hall. It is the in tention to hold services every week, if passible, in the hall until the new cbureh is completed. Where Credit Is Due, Governor Johnson has again demor- strated how fortunate 1t is for the taxpayers of the state that the man at the helm has got to be shown be- fore he calls an extra session or per- forms other acts that are easier done than undone. The serious situation caused by a defect in the new code has melted away before the common sense shed upon it by the governor, and all is well. Far be it from us to say that if Governor Johnson's posi- tidn had been held by someone else the matter would have been dealt with with less wisely, but it is a dis— tinct satisfaction to realize that we ‘have in Minnesota a governor who thinks before he acts—and thinks to good purpose.—Winona Independent.

In the bulletins which have been published from week to week for some time so many subjects were treated that it was impossible to go into detail or give a full account of apy one line of work. They are in- tended, however, more as a general report on the agricultural possibili- ties of the country rather than an official record ot the work of the Ex- periment station. They do not cover, by any means, all the work that is be- ing conducted. Experiments in crop rotations, in tillage, in keeping up the fertility of the soil and in plant and animal improvement are being conducted and from which valuable results are being secured. However, the work so far has been largely pio- neer—a sounding of the country, as it were. The greater work yet remains to be done, and especial'y in the de- velopment of the country. A large appropriation is needed to conduct the work as it shguld be con- ducted. It is believed, however, that the State legislature will realize the im- portance of this section of Minnesota and provide amply for its develop-- ment. Nature has endowed northeastern Minnesota with wonderful resources. {n its forests there were hundreds of millions of dollars, but there is a saa part to this. This great wealth has been largely removed from the coun- try, leaving in its trail only the skele- ton and desolation of a fallen forest. Its iron mines have already devel« oped into the richest in the world. The shriek cf the long ore trains as they rush by tell that this form of wealth is, too, leaving the country aud but little in its stead. There is another form of wealth, however, greater than either or both of these. In the millions of fertile acres there is a form of wealth the development of which means a lasting prosperity to northeastern Mionesota. In the ouilding up of agriculture we may HISTORICAL SOCIETY. hope to fully utilize nature’s ree. sources, atid in this employment fair Minnesota may offer homes to many millions* A. J, McGuire. ANOTHER IDOL PROVED BUT CLAY So Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of- the republican campaign committee of 1896, has been caught with the gouds on him, He denied vehemently that he had ever accepted money from insurance companies in the came: paign to elect McKinley, and now: Judge Hamilton pulls out a little document signed by Mr. Bliss which is nothing but a receipt for $75,000 from the New York Life Insurance company as a contribution to the campaign fund. Why did Bliss lie about it, when be must have knowo the reseipt existed? Perhaps he imagined that the tell-tale paper had been taken care of. Gradually it is coming to light how Mr. Bryan got whipped in 1896.—Goodhue County News. REFORM WAVE STRIKES WALKER Walker is in a fair way to don the lid. Papers have been served on Councilman Kulander and Village At- torney Scribner for the observance of the state law, which means Sunday closing. The movement is being urged along by A. Bissonnette, one of the citizens of Walker. This village has ten saloons and the Sunday side door habit has been carried on hete ever since the village was organizéd, ‘As it is a jumbering town a closed Sunday would cause consternation ta reign among the adherents of the wide-open policy. His Two-Edged Roast. A merchant asked the editor ofa country newspaper to roast the town officials for letting an itinerant ped- dler come in and undersell him:on goods, says an exchange. This is what the editor wrote: .. “To the City Dads; You will here- by take notice that you are roasted for permitting peddlers to sell goods here. The merchant for whom we do this favor has his job printing douse in St. Paul.” i . Job Printing. The Acme of Perfection—Heralde Review Job Printing.
