Mrs. Converse took a trip to Lyle to watch
at tbe bedside of a nleoe wbo was dangerous*
ly sick.
Mrs. H. B. Corey -has beeu up bere on a

family.
Timothy sued is yielding from 4H to six
bushels per acre. Outs are very light, but
flax is good.
Mr. Hans Skyberg bas returned from
Chicago where he has been to have his eyes
treated. He is talking of going to Norway to
spend the winter or longe* if bis health im­
proves.
Rev. ColweU and wife have returned from
their visit. He met with quite a severe acci­
dent on Sunday a week ago while bo was driv*
ing from cburcb. Tbey wore all thrown from
tbeir carriage, his wife was shaken up, the
children were only soared while bis arm was
hurt, so that he carries it in a sling.
ROSE CREEK.
D. J. Keefe has gone railroading.
D. B. Johuson was seen on our streets last
week.
Phil. Wheelock still suffers with tbat mash­
ed finger.
W. Willis returned home Saturday for a few
days' visit.
School commenced Monday with Miss Lacy
as teaober.
France and Cary Kirby have been visiting
in St. Ansgar tbe past two weeks.
A. P. Rounce will bave one of the neatest
houses in town when it is completed.
Miss Mary Rooney expects soon to go to
Minneapolis to stay during the winter.
Miss Maggie Cronan entertained ber lady
friends on Monday afternoon of last week.
Miss Clara Kisor and her brother Harry
were guests of tbe Misses Keefe last week.
Chas. Wbeelock says, "Wbatis home with*
out a mother." He returned to business tbe
first of tbe week.
Ed. and Jimmie O'Malley visited their old
camping ground last week. Tbeir Rose Creek
friends are always glad to see them.
A very pleasant event of the season was
the gathering together of neighbors and
friends on Saturday evening last at tbe home
of W. Willis, to belp them celebrate tbeir
tenth anniversary of wodded bliss. Refresh­
ments were served, after which the presents,
which were useful and pretty, were present­
ed. When all returned to their homes ex*
pressing themselves as having passed a pleas­
ant evening.
LYLE.
Holner Knutson,' wbo bas been under tbe
doctor's care for about one year, is apparent­
ly improving.
Mr. and Mrs. Cause buried their little
daughter Grace last week. Her sickness was
protracted and painful. Many friends and
neighbors sympathize with them.
Tbe lock-up bas been moved to tbe park,
near the council building and a new building
erected for storing tbe patent four-horse
*oad scraper. We would give our opinien of
the utility of tbat scraper, but as it might
offend some one we withhold it.
P. Hildebrant bought the old Riensmitt
shop building and bas moved it onto bis lot
on main street, and will use it for storing
livery rigs. Should be make a stable of it, it
would not be as
offensive as some otber places
that are allowed on the same street.
Miss Moor gave an entertainment in the
Congregational church professedly for tbe
benefit of a prosnectiye orphans' home. It
was pronounced "thin" and many think she is
tbe orphan. It seems to us tbat a cburch is
bardly the appropriate place for such trash
The two Mrs. Stanleys and George returned
from a visit at Kenyon last week. They speak
in flattering terms of Kenyon and tbe coun­
try about there. Tbe captain's wife bas had
poor health this summer, but ber visit made
a marked improvement in ber. We hope ber
health may still improve.
The prospect is now tbat our present post­
master will on account of offensive partizan
ship (belonging to another party) be obliged
to vacate not many months hence. We rearret
it on some accounts as be bas given general
satisfaction. His lady deputies bave been
very efficient and obliging^ as well as good
looking.
Last week we bad tbe first alarm of fire we
bave bad in Lyle for years. Tbe residence of
Mr. Wenbain caught fire in the part, but
was extinguished before doing much damage
Had it got beyond control tbe probabilitv is
tbat all the residences on that side of the
block would have been consumed, as tbe wind
was in tbe south. There are quite a number
of fire extinguishers in town, but in the ex­
citement no one thought of them.

Hon. M. H. Dunnell delivered a very inter­
esting address to an audience of about 800
people last Friday evening. Mr. Dunnell
spea'is with all his old time force add con­

The Corn Patuce at Stonx Ctty.
The citizens of Sioux City, Iowa, were
last year so successful in presenting to
public view, tbe novel idea of "A Own
Palacd' that it has been determined by
thosfi enterprising people to renew the
success of last season and present, this
year, a Corn Palace on a more extended
scale, with incidental festivities appro­
priate to the section of country of which
Sioux City is the principal center.
The Palace will be open for exhibition
from September 24 to October 6,1888, and
during that period excursion tickets at
greatly reduced rates will be sold by all
roads centering at Sioux city. Among
these great roads which penetrate the
Corn Belt ot Iowa, the Chicago, Milwau­
kee & St. Paul Railway is the chief, and
Sioux City is easily reached by its lines
which extend from all points of the com­
pass. Excursion tickets will also be' sold
during the dates above specified, from
Sioux City to points in Dakota, thus en­
abling those seeking new homes or in­
vestments the Great West to do so at
moderate expense.

sioner, Sioux Citv, Iowa, or A. V. H,

A Good Appetite
Is essential to good health but at this
season it is often lost, owing to the pov­
erty or impurity of the blood, derange­
ment of the digestive organs, and the
weakening effect of the changing season.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is a wonderful medi­
cine for creating an appetite, toning the
digestion, and giving strength to the
whole system. Now is the time to take

THE WILSON BOGUS RETALIATORY
BILL.
Philadelphia Daily News.
If the Hon. Thomas Wilson, Demo­
cratic member of Congress from the First
district of Minnesota, does not receive a
medal for his watchfulness of Canadian
interests, it will be because Victoria has
not enough to go around.
As pointed out in the News yesterday,
Mr. Wilson has introduced into the House
a so called retaliatory bill, which, if
passed, would prevent the President from
suspending the transit in bond of Cana­
dian goods through this country for ex­
portation, although they might persist in
refusing our fishermen the privilege of
transit in bond through Canada.
Tbe News also pointed out that the bill
did not pretend to prevent Canadian rail­
roads from taking part in the internal
commerce of the United States. These
however, are not the worst features Of
the bill. There is still another.
The retaliatory act of 1887, which was
drafted by Mr. Bayard and passed by the
House of Representatives unanimously^
and by the Senate with only one dissent­
ing vote, provided that:
Whenever any vessels of tbe United States,
tbeir masters or crews are unjustly vexed or
harassed in any ports or places of the British
Dominions of North America.it shall be tbe
duty of tbe President of tbe United States to
deny the vessels, their masters and crews of
the British Dominions entrance into the
waters, forts or places of tbe United State#
and also to deny entry into tbe United States
of fresh fish or salt tisb, or any otber product
of tbe said Dominions or other goods coming
from said Dominions to tbe United States.
It was confidently predicted when this
act was passed tbat President Cleveland
would never enforce it*. Since his appar
ent somersault the same prediction has
been made, although the manner in which
he could avoid doing so was not discern
able.
Mr. Wilson's bill furnishes the manner
and the means by empowering the Presi­
dent to suspend the transportation across
this country of goods, wares and merch­
andise, imported or exported, to or from
any foreign country, except Canada."
The practical effect of the Wilson bill
would be to direct an enormous amount
of traffic from American railroads to the
Canadian Pacific Railroad to perpetuate
Canadian monopoly of the South Ameri­
can and West Indian fish trade by allow­
ing millions of pounds of Canadian' fish
to be transported through the United
States free of duty for export from New
York and Boston to arouse antagouizm
between the American railroads and the
American Fishery Union to nullify the
retaliatory act of 1887. Well might the
poor fishermen say to Mf. Wilson, "Why,
this is reward to, not retaliation against,
Canada."
That is just what Mr. Wilson wants.
Mr. Wilson knows nothing about the
fisheries question, and apparently cares
little about the grievances of American
fishermen but he is largely interested in
the "Soo" branch ot the Canadian Pacific
railroad and is taking advantage of popu­
lar indignation to draw grist to his own
mill. President Cleveland's anti-Ameri­
can spirit is once more exemplified in ac­
cepting such a bill from such a quarter.
If he were really desirous of protecting
American fishermen and doubted the na­
ture of the powers conferred by the act
of 1887, he would have asked the advice
of Hon. Patrick A. Collins or some other
Eastern Congressman familiar with the
subject and not gone for counsel to a
friend of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.

EDUCATIONAL.
C. D. BBL.DBN, EDITOR.
At the High School Council at Minne­
apolis last
week a spirited discussion grew
out of a paper read by Prof. Alton, of the
Winthrop school,Minneapolis. His Sub­
ject was "Profesional Training". He
said: "Of 7,000 teachers in the employ of
the state but 40 per cent have first grade
certificates, perhaps 50 per cent hold
second grade certificates and possibly 80
per cent of the entire force are fairly well
qualified. When we remember, thut,
seven-tenths of our teachers cannot read
fairly a chance selection from an Ameri­
can classic or a daily newspaper that
they shrink from the analysis of a simple
sentence that they miss the thought of a
stanza from Whittier, Holmes or Long­
fellow that they like or dislike historical
fact much the same as they like or dislike
chocolate caramels that they have never
risen above words and isolated facts to
study mankind toiling upward generation
after generation from a profound origin
to an exalted destiny when, I say
we but remember that in our own land,
the most enlightened and intelligent on
the face of the globe, entire communities
lie at the same intellectual level year
atter year, it belioovs us to recognize the
importance of harder study, sounder
thinking and longer time in that stage of
a teacher,s profession known as common
school education.
"The key to the situation", continued
Mr. Alton, "is in having professional
schools. Doctors and lawyers are given
a full coursc of study which bears par­
ticularly upon there line of work. The
same thing should be done for teachers.
