It is violent in its attack and closely resembles in symptoms the first appearance of the disease years ago. Butterflies hovering over a table and droppiag into the soup must be enjoyable as caterpillers in the custard pie at a picnic. Yet the well rich must have novelty regard- about as less of consequences.

Wis., last Saturday. The reason for her death is a pro- found mystery to her husband. Mr. Clayton is a clarivoyant and it is somewhat strange’ that one who professes to read the past present and future for others cannot penetrate the mys‘ery of his wife's death. There are few ” offe dhaliers in the state capitol who do not worship at the shrine of Saint John A. Johnson- Princeton Union. Yes and they are mostly republi- cans. No democrat in this part of the state yota thing and men who were responsible for his big’ majority out in the cold to republicans filled the en Sentinel. It is interesting reading the account »f the coming out ball of Mary Astor Pavl, given in Philadelphia by James W. Paul, Jr., a member of the Drexel banking The bill the flowers alone was $35,000. And among the hundred gor- geous butterflies brought from Peru, Brazil and even far off India, and let loose to perch on the shoulaers of the guests and even fal! into plates of the banqaeters. The entire expense of the ball is estimated at $100,000. There stringency in the money market when this banker de- sired to entertain. A bill has been introduced in con— gress by Congressman Ollig James to restore to the coins the motto ‘In God We Trust.” Mr. James in re- cent interview said: “After six years of flourishing the big stick, President Roosevelt has at last removed one trust. that’s ‘In here, were left hustle and offices. fir. for novelties was five was no | has ever been given in this country.|, He says that some one'may laugh at the motto. Such an argument, if followed to its logical conclusion, would tear down every church steeple in the land. Mr. Roosevelt will soor find that his countrymen do not sympathize with him in his willing- ness to absolish the motto which expressed the national gratitude to the Creator.” eR hes It appears from the latest develop- ments that the state board of health has not abolished quarantine forsmall- pox entirely but will insist that local health boards perform their duties io | this regard in the future. Regarding this matter thé Minneapolis Journal has the following to say ina recent issue: “The state board has not abolished quarantine for smallpox, and it will probably be enforced as widely as ever. The primary duty of establish- ing quarantine rests with local healih officers, and in most cases they en- force it strictly. Tbe state board has only a supervisory relation. In the nine years the board has compelled local authorities to quarantine ina number of epidemics, but because of general safeguarding against the spread of smallbox, it is just as prevalent now as at any time within four or five years. The out- ‘breaks are local and not serious in character, but they are more numerous than ever. The state board’s action merely means that it bas had enough of the thankless and ineffectual! task of forcing local boards to do their duty. It is now up to the local officers and the people, if they are tired of the smallpox menace and really want to end it.” looseness in fo Ae Ss It is remarkable what the people of today have to contend with and what rays of light are shed upor the vexa- tious questions of the hour by the learned gentlemen that -have- been cailed by reason of their erudition— and incidentally the salary-to preside over some of our colleges and univer- sities. One vf them has just dis- covered that the honored old consti- tution of the United States is out+ worn. As he puts it, ‘our constitu- tion is inadequate to enable the nation to solve the many pressing problems relating to. our society, j industry and politics.” The grand old document that was the handiwork of patriots and states- men, is no longer fit for d guide to the people of this land of the free and tiome of the boodler, After all the years that the ship of state has sailed under every storm, weare now told that there are rocks and shoals that the old chart does not show and we must have a new one. May it not be that the fault is in the people and not the constitution? The professor says. ‘‘Ours are the twentieth problems, and our faces must be toward the twen-} tieth ‘century, with all its threatening but glorious outlook.” Just so. But would not the turn- ing of our faces away from some of the glittering idealities of the pre- sent day, ana getting back to the simple, honest lives uf the men who | founded this republic be of as much or more benefit than a new constitu: tion? Weare living in an age of! grab, scranible, greed and crime that would haye given the honest, up- right menof the early days. of this nation apprendicitis on both sides of the veriform appendix. And amid; it all we are told by these wise men, whose colleges and universities are many of them the beneficiaries of the illbegotten wealth of the trusts, that We must:cast aside the faith of the forefathers and start anew. ‘The professor’s final conclusion is to ‘call a national constitutional convention, adopt a new instrument and subject it to the people for their approval or rejection.” What good will this do? Will not the men who have lost all respect for the old constitution and find ready means to evade its wise and beneti- cent provisions. do so with anew one just as readily? pelea.

State To Sell Land. i | As a direct result of the extension | of the Minnesota & International | and Duluth, Rainy Lake & Wisuipeg | railroads, State Auditor Iverson an-| nounces that the state will offer for | sale 50,000 acres of righ agricultural | land sometime during: the ‘coming, summer. { ‘The soil is as fertile as any in the country,’ said Mr. Iverson, in speak- ing in relation to this matter. | “Northern Minnesota is on the! threshold of a career of’great devel- | opment, and from now on will ad-| vance with strides that will surprise | even the most sanguine. | “The state wishes to aid in the de- | velopment of the country, and will put 50,000 acres on the market next | summer. It will be.suld ata price; that will probably never obtain again. i I venture to predict that within a few years all land in that part of the state will be field at prices from three to ten times the present scale.’ Q Q , ¢ 5 | Q $ Q 0 " GOTSO 2 2 MILLER’S Ice Cream Parlors For the Best Dish of Ice Cream to be had in the city.
