:red as second-class mail matter at
the postoffice, Austin, Minn.
IT is stated that J. Fierpont Morgan
is now giving his undivided tiu.e to
solviiipr the nroblem of how old is Ann.
Tin-: Columbian authorities now de
:'i:/md a bonus of §25,000,000 from the
United States for the privilege of build
i^ the isthmus canal across their ter
ritory. They will never get it.
A LONDON duchess defines the court
(Iitss for ladies as "something that
urned you cold to wear and.hot to
Jook at." She wears it and ought to
know whereof she affirms.
A i'Akading band while marching
through the streets at Jackson, Miss.,
frightened a mule to death. It must
hf»ve been the same traveling band
that was on Austin streets recently.
TIN:
failure of Tapamany to draw
party lines closely in the New York
city election means the probable re
election of mayor Low, all of which
will be in the interests of good govern
ment and the breaking up of machine
r.j'e.
A CINCINNATI
mk
attempt to belittle the import­
ance of the merger cases against the
railroads is clearly to be traced to the
influence and money of the corporations
aifected. They are spending thousands
at present to create a sentiment in
their favor. The merger will play an
important part in the coming political
campaign and the railroads with all
their money and influence cannot pre
vent it.
Wk would advise Huntington of the
Windom Reporter to confine his edito
rials to matters that he knows a little
about. His last one on Judge Sherman
Page is so absurdly incorrect and
simple that it reveals gross ignorance
cr something else. The official records
of Page's impeachment trial are a
sufficient reply to Huntington's at
tempt to make him out a saint.
will be a glad day for Rhode
iiafcs I Island when they gee rid of their pres
ent mountebank governor. .Garvin has
nothing to say about his state except
evil. He is constantly throwing out
I assertions about corruption and bribery
1 in the public service but has not yet
been able to produce a single specific
instance. He is simply a political
tramp greedy for ottice and using the
cry of corruption to gain his own
I political ends. He will soon be thrown
into the dumppile where he belongs.
\V sincerely hope that the talk of
war between Russia and Japan in the
far East is so much exaggerated that
this world calamity will be avoided by
amicable arrangements. In any event,
it is the correct policy of the United
States to keep entirely out of this con
flict, simply looking to see that the
open doors guaranteed to us by treaty
with China are fully respected by
Russia. If the Russians go to br^ak
ing faith with the United States, it
will go hard with them.
TUK Alabama ^legislature has ad
journed for four years. If their work
is no better than that of the recent
Minnesota legislatures, it is a wise
move. Up here the best people stay at
home from primaries and allow a set
of political deadbeats to dictate nomina
tions and the result is seen in a legis
lature that railroads and other cor
poration interests do not fear. The
Minnesota legislature might well follow
the example of Alabama and not meet
again for four years.
THE
expert accountant
v,y has been making an investigation
,ignres that Dowie, the pretender,
of Chicago has $35,000,000 in his
absolute control. His dupes, however,
wiil go right on supporting him as
usual.
post office scandal investiga­
tions bring to light a lot of Ohio and
Indiana politicians involved in the
grafts and steals. They are the ones
that know how these things are man
ned, if anyone does.
Do
F/S
campaign in New York has
been a conspicuous failure. The crowds
that came to see him left as soon as he
Ltgan to talk his blasphemy and filthy
language. We suspect that his hold in
Chicago will now be weakened on ac
count of his New York failure.
Tin: disappointment of Canada over
the Alaskan boundary decision is caus
ing a good deal of, harsh language
against England by our neighbors on
the north.' The Canadians really had
-.no shadow of justice in their claim for
a grab of territory from this country
•ivxl the only thing they can do is to ac
cent the situation and make the best of
use of the names of prominent
Arsons as directors and promoters of
fake
investment schemes cannot be too
severely condemned and those who al
low their names to be thus used should
be held responsible for losses incurred
by innocent investors. Several years
ago, one of the guaranty loan fakes of
Minneapolis swept in thousands of in
vestors by the use of prominent names
and a recent oil company which has
failed for millions carried prominent
St. Paul names as directors or referen
ces. Of course, the right thing to do
with all these get-rich-quick schemes is
to turn them down, no matter what
names accompany them.
THESE words of President Roosevelt,
referring to Gen. Sherman, are worthy
of preservation: "It is «well to keep
alive the memory of those men who are
fit to serve as examples of what is
loftiest and best in American citizen
ship. Such, a man was Gen. Sherman.
To the very few in any generation is it
given to render such services as he ren
dered but each of us in his degree can
try to show somethingjof those qualities
of character upon which, in their sum,
the high worth of Sherman rested—his
courage, his kindliness, his clean and
simple living, his sturdy good sense,
his manliness and] tenderness in the
relations of life, and finally, his in
flexible rectitude of soul and his loyalty
to all that in this free republic is hal
lowed and symbolized by'the national
OTHER EDITORS' OPINIONS
Norman County Herald: You can
send away for about everything that
you wish to wear, eat or drink, but
there is one home institution that you
will have to patronize sooner or later
the cemetery.
St. Cloud Times: The Cincinnati
Enquirer asks: "Do Angels Eat?" We
know one that went through a pint of
ice cream, two sodas, a 50 cent box
of chocolates and a quart of peanuts
one joyous July night not long since.
Brownsdale. Leaflet: The Dubuque,
Iowa, business men and jobbers re
cently took a week's excursion trip
stopping at various towns along their
way. A Dubuque paper states that
"Austin had the prettiest girls of any
of the towns visited."
Spring Valley Mercury: We hope
that next year not a single far.mer will
help a neighbor thresh out of the shock
until after his own grain is in the stack.
This waiting for a machine to thresh
out of the shock has caused more loss
to our country than any one thing that
ever happened
Waterville Advance: Hon. Seth H.
Kenney marketed a very tine crop of
apples this fall about 800 bushels. He
introduced the corn harvester in hand
ling his cane and not only was enabled
to harvest it much cheaper and quicker,
but sees the possibility for enlarged
acreage.
Mount Morris (111.) Index: The
meanest man we have heard of is one
over in Lena who writes dunning
letters to himself and signs them with
fictitious names. He then leaves them*
around so his wife will get hold of
them, and she, poor soul, is so discour
aged by their contents that she will not
ask him for a cent.
Lyle Tribune: The Austin cemetery,
one of the finest kept burial grounds
in the state, has recently had built
within its bounds a chapel for the pur
pose of holding funeral services in in
clement weather and also for the stow
ing away of coffins in the vaults for
temporary purposes. It is a good feature
of any city cemetery to have a chapel
for the purposes named above.
Morristown Press: Why wouldn't it
be a good thing if the council would
pass an ordinance prohibiting the build
ing of any more plank, sidewalks?
There is nothing cheaper in the end
than
t,
good cement walk, and nothing
better. It would not be a bad idea,
either, if there were more walks laid in
various parts of the town.
Midway News: The so called merger
cases will all be finally disposed of by
the highest courts in the land before
the year is out—Elk River Star-News.
That may be so. But it is not the
question. The question is, "shall the
state rule and govern the mergers?"
This question is entirely too Simple
ever to be befuddled, even by a bureau
cratic press.
Blue Earth Post: The Sheirburn
Standard tells a funny story about a
Martin county lady, who was stopping
at a St. Paul hotel recently. The
Standard says "she slipped" on her
wrapper and went down to the dining
room." If she had slipped her wrapper
on she probably wouldn't have slipped
on her wrapper. How careless some
women are, when away from home.
Lakefield Standard: Stealing cu ks
from the charitable institutions of the
State is—or should be—a greater crime
than shipping ducks out or the State.
We believe that the next grand jury
should thoroughly investigate this
matter. It is susceptible of proof that
all of the ducks recently confiscated
did not reach the charitable institutions
of the State, as provided by law.
St. Peter Tribune: "Come on girls,
let us go to the postoffice, the boys
will all be there and we can have lots
of fun," was the suggestion of a girl of
14, that should have been at home with
her mother instead of loafing in the
lobby of the postoffice. This is a habit
a number of girls have become addict
ed to, a practice, that for their own
good, we would suggest they break
themselves of.
Minneapolis Times: It is quite cer
tain that many building operations
contemplated for next year have been
or will be abandoned. Some far sight
ed persons have abandoned building
operations contemplated for this year
This is a perfectly natural result of the
gradual forcing up of the price of lab6r
and material, incident to our period of
prosperity. With coatinual increase in
the cost of building operations, a time
comes when capitaL- decides that it is
no longer,.profitable to continue themv
Bayfield Transcript: Great Western
officials announce that the through
passenger service to be installed on
the St. Paul-Omaha line the first'of
next month will consist of the finest
trains which will run out of the Twin
cities, excelling even the beautiful
Chicago "Limited." The cars will be
electric lighted and built and furnished
upon strictly twentieth century lines.
Some change will be made in the pre
sent service and it is thought that the
milk train will tie up here or perhaps,
make its terminal at Mantorville, in
stead of continuing the night run* to
Mason City.
Pioneer Press: The Macedonian sore
will continue to fester until another
eruption forces the surgeons of Europe
to "amputate it as they have the other
Danubian provinces and to separate it
from the rotting trunk which spreads
corruption to all its members. Much as
the Macedonian revolutions have done
to alienate the sympathies of the West
ern powers, and reprehensible as the
motives and methods of the leaders
may be, the underlying fact is that the
misrule, injustice and extortion against
which they protest exists, has long ex
isted and will continue to exist until
Europe steps in and does its duty.
Rochester Post-Record: Much in
dignation is felt in the G. A. R. at the
action of a minister in Neenah, Wis.,
who at the recent funeral of a member
of that order refused to permit the or
der to enter the church in their uni
forms, and who ordered the flag taken
from the coffin. The result was that
the members refused to attend the
funeral. It seems hardly possible that
any man can be so narrow-minded as
was this minister, and it is small won
der that the G. A. R. are indignant.
Paying the last honors to a departed
comrade is a sacred matter with them,
and the privilege of according this
tribute should always be allowed.
St. Louis Globe-De uocrat: If any
surrender of territory had been made
by the United States in the recent Alas
kan boundary arbitration the Democrats
would have had party capital enough
to give them a boom* in the campaign
next year that would be worth many
votes to them. This chance is lost,
and the other party will. be the one
which will profit by it. The settlement
is a notable triumph for truth, for
history and for a national administra
tion which has always been.intelligently
alert in maintaining the interests of
the American people. The victory
will make huridreds of thousands of
votes for the Republican national
ticket in 1904.

A Great Sensation.
There was a big sensation io Lees
ville, Ind. wnen W. H. Brown of that
place, who was expected to die, had
his life saved by Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption. He writes:
"I endured insufferable agonies from
Asthma but your New Discovery gave
me immediate relief and soon there
after effected a complete cure. Similar
nures of
iD'sumutiion,
Extortionate.
Coal operators do not deign as a
usual thing to tell why prices of coal
are high, but in a general way the pub
lic finds that the operators have a policy
of making the consumers pay fof
strikes. After the 1900 strike coal was
advanced fifty cents a ton. Two or
three months of this extraordinary ad
ditional profit would pay for any losses
connected with any strike. The months
wore on and the consumer foundjthat
the fifty cents extra was a fixture. The
annual production of anthracite was
then from 55,000,000 to 60,000,000 tons,
and the consumers began to contribute
an added profit of anywhere from $20,
000,000 to $30V)0,000 a year. The 1902
strike followed, and although the oper
ators were collecting an exorbitant
price for coal from the public an addi
tional fifty cents went on top of the
former 'penalty,' which the public must
pay. The production is now 60,000,000
tons. There was a 10 per cent increase
in miners' wages and other slight in
creases, which make the cost of pro
duction a little higher—a few cents a
ton, perhaps—and the Coal Trust is
exacting annually a dollar a ton on 60,.
000,000 tons from the American public
more than was paid previous to the two
strikes. What'would the consumer do
if there should be another strike or
two?—Philadelphia Ledger.
Robbea The Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an lawful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually Id
back and sides, no appetite,, growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was advised
to use Electric Bitters to my great
joy, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they robbed the grave
of another victim." No one should
fail to try them. Only 50 cents,
guaranteed, at K. O. W^ld drug store.

Men
and Women
There Is Happiness in Healthy
Vigorous Manhood and
Womanhood.
Weakness and disease destroys the capacity
to enjoy life. Many men and women suffer
from weakness which makes them miserable and
their trouble. They are conscious that some
thing is wrong. that life has lost its sweetness
and brightness. The fruit of their fondest hope
is disappointment.
Nature gave every person the capacity to en
joy life and without its pleasures life is not
worth living. If strength and vigor and man
hood and womanhood have been lost by ignor
ance or abuse, violation of the laws of health
ana nature, or contracted from an afflicted
person, your first duty to yourself is to regain
the lost strength and health by proper treat
ment.
Are you nervous, low spirited, tired, dull,
dizzy, gloomy, fretful, dissatisfied, irritable,
forgetful, easily annoyed or excited, have pains
the back, chest,or limbs, headaches, hot
shes, lack of vigor, self confidence, will
power, energy, have sallow complexion,
pimples, blotches, falling hair, disturbed sleep,
bad dreams, unnatural drains or discharges,
avoid society aud friends, startled by very little
noise, life seems a failure, frequently cross and
ill-natured, scold and complain, sometimes
wish you might leave home and lamily, have
shortness of breath, palpitation of heart, bloat
mg and rumbling of bowels, constipation,
choking sensations, urine high colored or
cloudy ob standing.
Weakness and disease unfit men and jtromen
for marriage. An eminent professor says^ "No
maa or woman should marry unless thoroughly
well diseases are contracted and communica
ted by husbands and wives and children inherit
the diseases and weakness of their parents.
Huousands of persons suffer from weakness and
disease contracted in this way who do not
know it.
If you suffer from any of the symptoms .of
weakness caused by neglect or ignorance or
violation or abuse of nature's laws, or if you
suspect any weakness, you should act at once.
Do not wait until no power on earth can restore
you to health and happiness. Do not go
through life feeling that you are unfitted for
its duties and pleasures, unfitted for business,
society and marriage, a burden and disappoint
ment to yourself.
Begin life anew, with restored strength, vigor
and ambition, bright eyes, clear, ruddy com
plexion, the bloom and vigor of youth and
health, and the elements of manhood and
womanhood which make men and women at
tractive and insures love and happiness in the
home.
The strpng, vigorous, manly man, with clear
eyes, steady nerves, quick perception, energy,
courage and power, is envied by men and ad
mired by women.
This strong, robust, healthy woman, with
clear complexion, sparkling eyes, plump figure,
perfect bust, vigorous vitality, exuberant
spirits, animation, grace and beauty is envied
by women and admired by men.
_With perfect health all the essential organs
of the body are capable of performing their
functions properly—producing mental bright
ness and physical vigor and power.
Nervous and chronic diseases of men and
women require careful, exact, sympathetic and
confidential treatment. The only safe thing to
do is to consult a specialist skilled in the treat
ment of these peculiar troubles, give him the
fuUest confidence, rely upon his advice, follow
his directions, take his treatment carefully and
precisuy—modem treatment has developed re
markable successful effecting cures in the most
hopeless cases.
Dr. Dowhihg, of Chicago, is a leading special
ist in the treatment of, these diseases. He 'has
made moreifean 40,000 cures. No matter who
has failed, do not .despair until you have con
sulted Dr. Downing. If he says you can be
cured you are safe.
All consultations and examinations are made
with greatest privacy and are sacredly confi
dential. Dr, Downing does not hold out de
lusive hope to incurable cases. ,If your case is
notcurable he will frankly tell you- the truth
and advise you to save your money. Special
attention given to cases which' have been
neglected and unskillfully treated. 'Consulta
