Si *..• VOL. 24. A Paying Investment. Values of tl*e Properties Encl»ap»ced by Village Improvement. ''The property owners of a village cannot make a better paying invest ment than in the maintenance of a well-organized Improvement society Writes John Gilmer Speed in April Ladies' Home Journal. "Through such a society the value of every piece of property in a village, and the neighborhood thereof, may be en chanced in value village life may be made to take on new interests and new dignities stagnation may be kindled into an exhilarating activity. Let the people become interested in a Village Improvement Society and they will soon begin to discuss plans and policies with a gratifying alert ness. They will discuss how best to secure a public library they will talk over the ways and means of getj ting running water into the town they will argue over the best wa£'y of establishing afire department they will study'^Irainage and sanitation they will recognize the yaluef of street lights when uie moon is shining on another part of the world and when they vote on these questions they will vote with entire intelligence, and they will go away from the meetings refreshed by what they have heard, and what they have done." ANOKA 'WINS. Judges Brill, Otis and Kelly of the Ramsey county court disolves the temporary injunction granted Hastings, in location of fourth in sane hospital site. This is a point gained by Anoka, but they should not be paid for their site until the matter has been carried to and pass ed on by the higher courts. It is not only the opinion of these learned judges that there was a breach of good faith in relocating of this hos pital, but of eyery person of ordinery intelligence that is *"&ot partial. A commission composed of men that reconsider a question on the pretext that this commission did, should not be allowed to hold an office in any organized body, and the state treas urer is certainly justified in with holding payment of a warrant for the purchase price until the courts have fully passed upon the case. Shakespearean Reading*. Mr. J. J. Frainey in a Shakespeare an recital next week, Friday, for the benefit of the school piano fund. •A* John J. Frainey gave a Shake spearean recital at the Stone Chapel last evening. Mr. Frainey calls his recitals "An Evening with Shake spear,"J and it would probably be more appropriate to call it this than a display of his elocutionary abilities. He has a happy faculty of explain ing the history and character and giving an explicit conception of what the character is—a necessary re quisite to many and an enjoyable one to all. He caters to the instruct ive rather than to the eloquent, and in this he is successful. He selected for the evening's program scenes from "The Merchant of Venice," "Richard II," "Richard III," "Ham let," "Macbeth" and "Othello," form ing a wonderfully interesting pro gram. All in all, Mr. Frainey is one of the most delightful entertainera that ever visited Oskaloosa.—Oska loosa (la.)

O'CONNOR. UP Next to Hummiston's Drug Store.] Farewell Sermon. At the Presbyterian church last Sunday the Rev. Wilson Aull preach ed his two farwell eermons to large congregations, who one and all listen ed to hisflast words spoken from the pulpit with pleasure and sorrow mingled—with sorrow to realize it was the last time, as never was a pastor more beloved by his flock than he, and not only by the members of his denomination, but by ADVANCE ALL is he loved, personally as well as a minister of God 8 church. He has worked hard and faithfully in the, interest of the church and the good of the people. Through his influence the church has gained many new mem bers during the past year and we sincerely hope his place will not long be vacant, but feel assured that the place he fills in the hearts of his peo ple here cannot easily be filled. It will be a long time before his congregation will be able to recocile themselves to their loss. The joins with the people in wishing hiM success in his new field of labor. His family left Mon day for Duluth, Minn., where they are to be joined by Mr. Aull later to make that their future home. Change of Time. Daily Sunday day trains will be put on the Omaha next Sunday.

The school entertainment given at Masonic Hall last Friday evening was a gre&t success and a credit to all the scholars who participated. We have not space enough to go into all the details and give each one who took part special mention as .we should like to do, but by the loud ap plause which was given by the audience at the close of each part of the program proved conclusively how much the efforts of the children were appreciated and enjoyed by all. Due credit should be given all the teach ers who took time and patience to re herse and teach them in their differ ent parts so well.

One great point in favor of news paper advertising is that the papers are carried home and preserved for some time, going into the homes of the readers and being looked over by all members of the family they are exchanged with neighbors and make the rounds of the whole community. The advertisements in a good paper wdrk~"riot fora'j^^n^SomenC^but' for days and weeks and months, and they reach the most intelligent class in every community. Nothing can take the place of newspaper adver tising.—Northfield Independent. TWO LIVES SA FEB Mrs. Pheobe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had consumption and that ttiere was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completly cured her and she says it saved ner life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139, Florida 8fc. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadrul cold, approaching consump tion, tried everything else then bought one bottle ot' Dr. King's New Dis covery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at Ray Hnmiston's drug store.

The city of Pipestone is going to try to handle the tramp question by making them earn what they 'get. The council has ordered a suitable place selected for a stone-pile and as soon as the location is supplied with material every hpuse will be furnish ed with a supply tickets which will be an order for one meal, which will be presented to the city marshal, who will set the tramp at work breaking stones for two hours after which he will be furnished a meal. This idea may be successful but it is doubtful as there are so many sym pathetic people, and professional tramps prefer to take their chances in securing food in preference to work. WORTHINGTON, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1896. A Point of Law. Attorney Wilson is engaged in preparing an appeal to the Su preme court, from the decision of Judge Brown, in the case of Wil son vs Wilson. It appears, that in this case among several points, that Mr. Wilson thinks was decided in error that the court granted judgment for a continuing alimony to the amount of $360.00 per year with out limiting it to any certain length of time or providing that it shotild cease upon the subsequent marriage of Mrs. Wilson .Mr. Wil son also takes exceptions to the ling of the court relative to property owned by him and again as to that part of the decree relat ing to the amount of property or money to be restored to Mrs. Wil son, which a great many years ago she had placed in bis custody for ping. It appeared from the un disputed evidence in the case that she placed a certain amount of monay iu his hands to be kept by hiip for her. The verdict of the jury iu this particular matter and the fact was undisputed on trial, that Mr. Wilson had restored to Mrs.Wilson, several years ago pri or to commencement of the suit,all the money and in fact a great deal more than Mrs. Wilson had placed in his care. This item run over twenty years and the court in mak ing a decision relative to it, com puted interest all this time upon the sum of money and considered the payment made from time to time as partial payment, made the same as if made upon a note. Mr. Wilson contends, that our statute relative to the restoration of prop erty to the wife in case of divorce, does not contemplate the comput ing of interest upon money that the wife places in the care of her lusband, to be kept by him for her subject to her demand to withdraw nH'tfuny ^nre, -no more thatr in caita'of, any other property, could the wite, exact pay for the rental and usage of it when it was simply placed in the hands of the husband subject to the order and control of the wife and used for the mutual benefit of both. The points of appeal in this case have never been decided in the state and the construction that the Supreme court will place upon the statute, relative to those matters, will be looked for with a great deal of interest, considering the fact that the result, if against the con tention of Mr. Wilson,will virtually be an enlargement or an amend ment to the statute of this state relative to the matter.

Nobody ever lived that preferred decay ed teeth and toothache rather than sound, healthy, beautiful teeth. Yet there are hundreds of people who are allowing their beauty to slip away by neglecting their teeth. Minnehaha Tooth Paste Costs 50 cents sor a jounce IT box.

Minnehaha Tooth Paste is the best that money will buy. Ray Humiston. rj it w» wwww Here is some good advice for people who heleive in practicing purchasing articles from traveling venders, or who send away for goods hat can be procured at home: If a traveling peddler comes along and tries to sell goods,before purchasing, ask him if he will take your butter, egges, hides and other produce. Ask him if, when your neighbor gets ready to build a road or bridge across the creek or slough, if he is willing to donate a few dollars to help it along. Tell him there is a poor widow down the road who would be very thankful if he would donate a few provisions* Finally, say to him that money will be scarce next season and would he mind trusting you for a few dollars' worth of goods. If he agrees to all this, then patronize him. The past storms have been very beneficial to the whole country two to six inches of snow and rain fell over the entire northwest, moisten ing the soil and putting it in excell ent condition for all kinds of small grain. Farmers have been delayed, yet the results will be greater in the end, as the grain will sprout rapidly during the present warm weather and the moisture cause it to stool out and grow thrifty and give it a big yield should there be no set-back, from any other injurious causes When the grain has a good start it will be in condition to suffer less from the extremes that hinder its growth.
