Situation Has No Par- allel. Grain receipts at Minneapolis, irom | Sept. 1 to Nov. 20 of the present year. | are 21,286,470 bushels short of the | figures for the corresponding period of | 1905, as is shown by a special report. just prepared in the office of L. T Jamme, secretary of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. The discrep- ancy in wheat receipts alone is 12, 798,390 bushels. Veterans of the Min- neapolis wheat market say that no parallel for this situation can be found in at least twenty-five years of history. The existing conditions are considered all the more remarkable from the fact | that the grain acreage for 1906 was| large and the crop influence through- out the season uniformly favorable. Grain receipts at Minneapolis Sept. | 1, 1906, to Nov. 20, compared with | Sept. 1, 1905, to Nov. 20, are as fol- lows: Present Supply 1905. 1906. Wheat— hels. Bushels.

According to the official returns from the recent election a majority of 477 votes was cast in favor of county division in Itasca county. It is said however, that seventeen precincts sent in returns without official certifi- cation, because there was no space on the return blank for certifying the vote on county division. As these precincts mostly are in that section of the county which op- posed division, it is considered more than likely that a contest will be made Big Fork, Blackberry, Clementson, Feeley, Frazer, the three precincts in Grand Rapids, Huff, La Croix, Marcell Pokegama, Sago, Swan River, Jame- son, Moose Park and Plum Creek did not certify the vote. It will be neces- sary to secure a court order if the vote from these precincts is to be counted. PACKET BUSINESS GROWS. Winona Drawbridge Records Show Trend of Mississippi Trade. The last boat of the season has gone through the drawbridge at Winona and the records for the season are com- plete. They show that there has been a decided falling off in boats and rafts but there has been a considerable in- crease in barges. There were 1.870 boats through the draw in the season just closed. as compared with 1,191 last year. This year 408 rafts were brought down, as compared with 693 last year. The decrease in the rafts is an index of the dwindling of the lumber business in this section. The increase in barges shows that much river work was done this summer. There was a large increase in packet and excursion business. BE GOOD OR GET NO 'BACKY. Rule Is Laid Down to Winona Poor- house Inmates. Hereafter the inmates of the Wi- nona county poorhouse will be govern- ed by a rigid set of rules.

The rules provide what work each inmate must do, and also the re quirements in thé way of keeping the place clean. As punishment it is pro- vided that if the men violate the rules their supply of smoking tobacco is to be cut off for atime: The punishment of the women is left to the discretion of the overseer. .

Legislature Will Be Asked to Provide $20,000 for Equipment _ The next legislature will be called upon for an appropriation of about $20,000 for building and equipping a model creamery at the state agricul- tural college. A committee from the Minnesota Butter and Cheesemakers’ association is leading the movement for the model creamery and a perma- nent buttermakers’ school to be open the year around. At present the only instruction af- forded to buttermakers is a four weeks’ course in the fall, when about 150 but- termakers are gathered into a class and given a specified course of instruc- tion. The dairy building at the farm school is used for this purpose. The instruction is under the supervision of the dairy instructors in the regular courses at the farm school and assist ants are selected as best possible from the dairy and food department and elsewhere. The buttermakers contend that the present building is not especially fitted for giving instruction in buttermaking and is not designed to give the butter- | maker information as to how a model creamery should be built and operated. Instruction is given in the different phases of buttermaking, but under con- ditions different from those met in the creamery. A model creamery wo give the buttermaker ideas regarding the best arrangement for machinery in a real creamery and would give him instruction that could be applied un- der the conditions under must do his regular work. ‘The buttermakers favor having res- ular instructors in the model creamery who will give instruction all the year around. This would permit the butter- maker to attend at any time of the year he finds convenient and stay as long as he finds necessary or desirable. He would get individual instruction and if he wants information on any special branch of the work he can get it. wo VOTE ON STATE TICKET. A. O. Eberhart, for Lieutenant Govern- or, Will Have Plurality of 25,000. A. O. Eberhart probably will have plurality of at least 25,000 for lieuten- ant governor over L. G. Pendergast, the Democratic candidate. He has a plurality of 21,360-in sixty-two coun- ties. The same proportion in the rest of the counties would give him about 28,000, but it may be higher than this, as nearly all the Democratic counties are included in the list. Fifty:séven counties that have sent complete returns to the secretary of state give Eberhart 70,542 and Pender- gast 51,650. Ramsey gives them 11,- 756 and 12,413, Hennepin gives them 20,084 and 18,890, respectively, and three other counties make the total 109,816 for Eberhart and 87,456 for Pendergast. The fifty-seven counties which have reported to the secretary of state give) Johnson 83,524 votes and A. L. Cole 48,168. Ramsey gave Johnson 16,561 and Cole 8,862, Hennepin gave John- son 28,404 and Cole 14,010. Of the re- maining twenty-four counties complete returns have been received from eight- een, and nearly complete returns from six. The net plurality for Johnson on these returns is 71,594, and the com- plete returns will not change this more than two or three hundred either way. The early estimates of pluralities of 60,000 or more for Iverson and Young are shown to be fully warranted by the returns now in. The other Repub- lican candidates, C. C. Dinehart, Julius Schmahl, C. F. Staples and C A. Pid- geon, will be only a few thousand be- ind, in the order named. FOR A GREATER WINONA. Special Committee Indorses Plans of Randle and Others. The special committee composed or Rt. Rev. Bishop Joseph B. Cotter, Jo- seph Schlingérman and Frank E. Gart- side, and appointed to report to the Winona Business Men’s association and the board of trade relative to the movement to secure a greater Winona, has completed its report. It indorses the plan proposed by T. M. Randle, and for the carrying out of which sub- scriptions have been made, but which needed some such indorsement as this to help raise the remainder of -the $100,000 required, the plan being to plat a factory addition at the West end and sell the lots, raising money to permit donating sites to factories. The committee concurs in the sugges- tion that a committee be appointed to \Visit the towns where like plans have een successfully carried out, and in- dorses the proposition te appoint Mr. Randle industrial agent of the com- bined associations.

In the window of a cigar store in Columbus avenue, New York, appears in bold black letters the following sign: “No Paregoric, Postage Hair Oil or Goap Sold Here.” Just why such a sign should appear in the window of a tobacconist’s shop mystifies the neighbors. A neighbor was impelled to quiz, and for the sake of good feliowship, he purchased a cigar. “Why have you. placed that odd sign in your window?” he asked. The tobacco man smiled. “I guess you’ve found out. You bought a cigar,” he answered with a smile. The neighbor left illuminated. The proprietor is hoping that others may seek to be en- lightened in the same manner. “Make ’em curious and you've got ’em,” he confessed to the reporter, who also found out—for 10 cents.

He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. No one knows’ this better than the hard-working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of his own— often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes gets out of sorts. An overworked Ohio doctor tells his experience: “About three years ago as the result of doing two men’s work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was lit- tle better than a physical wreck. “I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appe- tite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve force for continued mental applica- tion. “I became irritable, easily angered and despondent without cause. The heart’s action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palp!- tation during the first hour of two after retiring. “Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the re- sult. I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. “My improvement was rapid and permanent in weight as well as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of liv- ing again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. “The little pamphlet, ‘The Road to Wellville” found in pkgs., is invarl- ably saved and handed to some needy patient along with the indicated rem- edy.” Name given by Postum Co.
