Last week the mills of the Hennipin
Paper company turned out 168,140
pounds of paper, all of which was
loaded on the cars ready for ship­
ment Saturday night and ere this is
miles away. This amount of paper
cost the purchasers $5,000 and brings
ust that much money to this coun­

people who work at the mills and
those who furnish wood. There are

Bad Boy.
recent developments
From recent oeveiopments one
would judge that Frank Vilinski
aged about thirteen, is a tough kid.
Yesterday he broke into a shed back
of the Union block and stole some
articles the property of Messrs. Card­
inal and Wilcox. An officer caught
him in the act, and an he promised to
be good in the future, he was re­
leased, but his promise was made
only to be broken, nnd he was ar­
rested and lodged in jail. He has
the reputation of being a bad boy
and his parents can do nothing with
him.
The boy was taken before Justice
Shaw today and discharged.
Bridge at Little Elk.
The bids for building a combina­

Commissioner LaFond and O.Duclos

tubular piers and the second for

Compartment Sleeping Cars.
Our readers are familiar with the
regular or "standard" sleeping cars
which the Pullman Company runs
on most of the railroads, and know
how luxurously they are furnished.
There is nothing so good but people
wish for something better, and ob­
jections have been made to sleepers
that privacy was lacking, that the
lavatory accommodations were in
sufflcent, and that two or three of
persons (of the gentler sex) would
take possession of the dressing-room
in the morning, to the delay and
annoyance of other lady passengers.
The new compartment sleeepers on
the trains of the Burlington Route
from Minneapolis and St. Paul to
Chicago remove these objections.
Instead of the central aisle with
open births on each side, the car is
divided into ten cosy state-rooms
with doors opening into a corridor
on the side of the car. For half its
length the corridor is on the leftside,
then crosses to the right—five com­
partments being thus situated on
each side. Each compartment con­
tains an upper and lower birth, ar­
ranged in the usual way, but the
attraction is that it constitutes a
room in itself. A handsome gas fix­
ture depends from the ceiling, dif­
fusing a soft light info every nook of
the compartment. In one corner
you notice a handsome mirror and
beneath is what looks like a rose­
wood box set on end. In the center
of this box is a convenient nickel
plated handle. Take hold "and pull—
you have before you a complete
toilet outfit bowl, faucets for hot
and cold water, etc., and turning the
box up again empties the bowl of its
contents. This is one of the many
comforts and conveniences that meet
you at every point. As we said be­
fore each compartment has a door
which opens into the corridor, but
they have also doors connecting
them with each other, so that two
or more can be made into a suite of
rooms for a family.'or of her large
party traveling in company The
furnishings and fittings of these cars
|ire as tasty and exquisite money:
$nd the most skilled workmanship
can make them and the colors of the
plush and pa penalised in dccorating
each compartment different. For
ladies without escort, or traveling
la charge of children, nothing mope
retired and comfortable can be Imag­
ined, and on the Bnrlington Route
trains twocomparttin nits are always
reserved for ladies exclusively. Next
time you go to Chicago,"* buy your
tickets via the Burlington, and see

A Wolf Story.
The county auditor is in receipt of
a communication from A. J. Lohren,
auditor of Waseca county in which
he says there is a person in jail there
who "has obtained wolf bounties in
a large number of counties in Minne­
sota on wolves that, it is thought,
have been imported from other states
and it is desired to get evidence that
such person could not possibly have
killed wolves on said dates men­
tioned, inWaseea county. The dates
are March 11, '89, March 14, '91,
March 9th and 14, '92, Feb. 28, March
5, '93.
The officials at the auditor's office
believe that the man has cheated
Stearns county out of $100, but of
course are not sure, hence his name is
not given. A man who claimed to
be a resident of the county lias ob
tained bounties on five or six wolves
avery year for the three years in suc­
cession. Last time he appeared was
March 9, '93, a date that corresponds
to one of the dates in Waseca county
The officials have been suspicious
and the last time burned his wolf
scalps much to his disgust, us he said
it would spoil the hide. It has not
always been the custom in all
counties to burn the scalps, and it is
probably that he has obtain*,
bounties on the same scalps in sever­
al different counties. If he has got
$100 out of Stearns county he has
probably got several thousand out
of the different counties of the state.
The case is one of considerable inter­
est in the state and the Waseca of­
ficials should be assisted in the pro­
secution. Benton 'County has also
paid $4t» to this same fellow.—

The Breach of Promise Suit.
We give below a.biief synopsis of
the Breech of Promiee suit to be
given at the court house tomorrow
night, as near as we could gather
the facts. To appreciate and enjoy it
one must see it in full.
Johnnie Heartwhole, the plaintiff,
is a young man of most extremely
bright intellect, who with hismother
Jeruslia Heartwhole and sister
Patience is stopping during tne sum­
mer months of 1892 at a Northern
sum nier resort.
Polly Catchem is a seductive and
bewitching young lady who lives in
the town where Johnnie is sojourn­
ing-
Slippery Slick is a young fellow of
thedudish sort who is on intimate
terms ith Polly, Johnnie claims
that they are in collusion to get his
money. Polly gets his heart first,
that his money may follow. John­
nie's mother and sister testify as to
bis innocent character.-
v,
-Cafl Pullman^ ^on Vonderblumeis
stein is a German, the proprietor of
the Hotel de Cupid where Johnnie
and his folks have lodgings.
Rastus Johnsing is a colored porter
at the hotel. He hears love songs
and will sing one to the jury as
Polly sang it. Carl Pullman etc.,
will also sing a song. Mikel Mulca
hey is an Irish gardner at whose
house Polly has rooms. He tells
many witty thing in the Irish brogue
while testifying in Polly's behalf.
Ole Olson is not long over but he
puts in his best licks for the defend­
ant because he works for Mulcahey,
and has known Polly several years.
His innocent face and Swedish ac­
cent ischar ming.
Peckiney Pry is Polly's maid and
constant companion, sees all that
goes on and does her best to clear
the defendant.
While the plot is original and the
product of the immagination the
attorneys and witnesses put an in
thusiasm in it that savors of the
real.
The jury while already selected did
not know anything about the case
and are to render the verdict from
the testimony and argument.
This sends a spice to it and each
side is ambitious to win.
A large number of seats have been
sold already and they are going fast.
Tickets are on sale at Turpin &
White's.
A
Novel Entertainment.
Aithough the weather was bad
last evening a large audience
assembled at the court house to hear
the "Breach of Promise" suit of
Johnnie Heartwhole vs. Polly
Catchem, John Simmons was on
the ber,ch, and although he was
dignified, he was not proof against
some of the amusing evidence given
by the witnesses. J. W. Ward played
the part of the plaintiff—an innocent
youth- to perfection andMissJennett
Smith as the defendant was equally
as good. The testimony oi Miss
Carey as Mother Heartwhole and
Mrs. Covey as Patience Heartwhole
was amusing and appretiated by the
audience. Alex Van Praag as Curl
Pullman van vonder Blumenstein,
the Gei man witness, was simply
nun
ens'1 and his make-up was perfect.
James Cota,as Mike Mulcahey, the
Irish witness, was great, and he play­
ed the part to perfection. To see Cota
play Irish one would never take him
for a Frenchman. William Gausewitz
as Ole Olson, was a typical Scandina­
vian and the part of Slippery Slick
as played by J. W. Close, was good.
Miss Olive LaFond rendered the part
of Peckney Pr^Ct a charming
manner. Mr. Rice as Rastus Johns­
ing. theporter gave some amusing
testimony.
The jury was an amusing looking
crowd with ('has. Pullman as fore­
man. It was whispered during the
trial that he and Juror Gaudet were
somewhat smitten with the hand­
some defendant and the verdict
Would certainly lead one to believe
that such was the case.
E. S. Smith as attorney for plaintiff
and E. F. Shaw as attorney for
defendant were good.
After being out a very short time
the jury brought in a verdict in favor
of defendant and fined the plaintiff

CHANGED HER MIND.
She Didn't Dan Trust Her Hasband With
a Folding Bed.
One day as I sat in a lumber company'*
big general store in the mountains along
the upper Kentucky river a tall, sharp
faced woman 'rode up on a skinny looking
colt, and the clerk helped her off and she
came in.
"I waiiter strap that critter out thar fei
store goods," she said, "but I wanter look
round some fust. I've heern of them fold
in bedstida an I wanter see one ef you keep
am."
The clerk said they had one that they had
ordered, and if she liked it they could ordei
one for her. He escorted her to the bed and
showed her how it worked.
"I've heern they was resky to sleep in,"
she said, lifting it half shut and dropping
it again.
"Oh, I guess they're all right," said the
clerk encouragingly.
"They don't kick, do they?" she asked.
"No."
"Ner buck jnhip?"
"No,"
"Ner balk?"
"No."
"Ner shy?"
"No."
"Ner rare up behint an scoot the pertici
pant ag'in the wall?"
"Not that I ever heard of," smiled the
clerk.
"They're piller wise an broke to bed kiv
vers, ain't they?"
"Sure."
"Safe for a woman tq handle?"
"Perfectly."
"Won't stand unless they're hitohed,
though, will they?" she asked, giving the
framp a flirt that telescoped it,
"You have to fasten than, I guess," ad­
mitted the clerk.
'It looks resky," she said, walking
(tround it cautiously, as if keeping out of
reach of its heels. "Has anybody round
here got one?"
"No this Is the only one in this county."
She turned and left it.
"Well," die said, "I ain't goin to be the
fust to projick with the pesky thing. I'm'
almighty certain ef I tuck that 'ar home
with me it ud take me six weeks to break
the old man sd's you could lead him up to
it at bedtime.. He ain't new fangled to
shucks."
Then she went down where the calicoes
were.—Detroit Free Press.

"The MacKaye$g?ctatorluin.''
A vast deal of cwposity has been
aroused as to th^nagnitude and
scope and peculiar
features of "The
MacKaye Spectatwum," which the
Columbian Celebration Company is
building at nortli.lsnd of Jackson
Park on the lake shore, Chicagojand
that curiosity has itea measure been
satisfied by a. viem of the mod­
el which was givenr-to- the press a
short, time agoj JJUj&i the Associated
Press and the Chicago papers join in
unstinted -praise of .|he enterprise. A
comprehensive ideiffi of how it af­
fected the audience /of trained and
professional critics its perhaps best
conveyed by quoting the opinion of
one of them, Mr. W||H. Hall, dram­
atic editor and erit|p of the Chicago
Post who, afteradeiailed description
of some of the novetl features, closes
his article with the ^following words
"Enthusiastic opplfifuse from the lit­
tle company greetetj every scene and
every ivm ark able |maiiipulation of
there were those present who pre­
dicted that theJSpectatorium would
rival the Fair itself. It is safe to say
that it will attract more attention
here, during the Fair, than did the
Eiffel Tower jn Paris. No descrip­
tion can carry any idea even of the
model and what will the great and
complete be. Mr. MaKaye was
showered with congratulations and
voted a wonder and there was not a
dissenting voice." It is not usual
that an audience composed entirely
of critics, men whose training, in­
clination and profession leads them
to sit in cold judgement, is stirred to
enthusiasm and mechanical appli­
ances. And yet this was all that was
shown them in .the model and Mr.
Hall voiced the general expression of
astonished wonder "when he asked, if
the model so startled the profession­
al mind what will the grand pro­
duction do.
In the description given one learns
that by light effects it is possible to
produce all nature's atmospheric
changes, that there can be portrayed
with equal fidelity the dawning of
the morn, the meridian splendor of
the noon and the quiet shades of
twilight the silvery light of the
moon gildes the scene as naturally
as it does in nature and that even
the stars seem to twinkle ,and glow
in the heavens. Then, to, the de­
scriptions tell of vast wave-makers
by which the calm, unruffled bosom
of the ocean, for the ocean in the
spectatorium is represented by near­
ly 5,000,000 gallons of water, can be
stirred into ripples or lashed into
foamcrested breakers that the wind
can be made to sigh gently or with
tempestuous force threaten the de­
struction of the fleet. They tell of im­
mense machinery capable of moving
600 t6ns at one tirae and making a
change of scene over a distance of 600
feet in forty seconJs^ They tell of
stages which appear and disappear
almost with the rapidity of thought
but forty seconds being required for
a complete change of scene. These
are but the mechanical and electrical
effects and there is much of grandeur
outside of this. Tha Spectatorio
"The World Finder" which is to be
represented will be set to the most
sublime and novel music of the
masters. 1,000 people will lend color
and life to the various scenes and the
action of the spectatorio will in sub­
limity be in accord with thegranduer
of all the the environments aud the
event it is to celebrate.
Prof. Walter Folsom, of Little
Falls, will henceforth be a resident of
this city. The Citizens band of
Wadena has engaged him as
instructor for a year at a salary of
$45 per mouth, and the professor
came up the first of the week and
closed the deal. Prof. Folsom is an
expert musician and a competent
instructor, and Wadena will soon
have a band second to none on the
line. As soon as warm weather
arrives open air concerts will be
given in the park once each week.
Mr. Folsom will also give music

anew lighting apparatus, known as
"universal gas." As the fact of his
coming was not generally known,
but very few of our citizens had an
opportunity to witness the operation
of the plant, but those wrho did
speak very highly of the light. We
also understand that the light can
be furnished very cheap —Morris

Democratic Advisers.
Three gentlemen, an Independent,
a
Democrat and a Republican, respective­
ly, advise tiie Democratic party how to
use the great opportunity before it. The
Independent is Hon. SethLow, president
of Columbia college, New York, the
Democrat is Hon. Oswald Qttendorfer
and the Republican is Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge.
Mr. Low says "that the election of
President Cleveland was a victory for the
principles advocated by him also for the
man himself, because voters had confi­
dence that he would adhere to those
principles through thick and thin. Mr.
Cleveland was elected, in the estimation
of President Low, chiefly because he fa­
vored tariff reform and civil service re­
form, and because he was opposed to ex­
travagant pension and other legislation.
If now the Democratic party will go in
for tariff reform, if it will destroy the
spoils system and also break up the Dem­
ocratic local party machine, then, in the
estimation of Mr. Low, it will
be the rul­
ing party, in this country for along time.
~Tfifr. Oswald (l^ndbrlfer^ especially"
concerned about the silver dollar. He
plants himself on the gold basis as on
the rock of his salvation, and says this
country is now dancing on a volcano.
The volcano may, so to speak, erupt and
blow us into financial kingdom come at
any moment just so long as we continue
"to dump the proceeds of silver mines
into the national treasury and issue
therefor treasury notes interchangeable
for gold or silver coin." This practice
Mr. Ottendorfer considers on a par with
the teaching that it "requires only an
act of congress to make 60 cents' worth
of silver equal to a dollar in gold." One
gathers that Mr. Ottendorfer is a "gold
bug," and considers the repeal of the
Sherman silver act of 1890 as the most
howling duty of the Democratic party
and the Fifty-third congress.
Then there is Hon. Cabot Lodge. He
is by no means obscure as to what bi3
idea of the Democratic duty of the hour
is. It is to inaugurate free trade. "Un­
less the victorious party is false to the
plainest kind of pledge, they must sweep
protection from the statute books." He
declares the new system must have a
fair trial, and the party in power must
raise government revenues by methods
which can give no protection whatever.
If their system i3 successful, we will
stick to it. If it is a failure, out the
voters of the country will whop the Dem­
ocrats, and in will go the Republicans
again, thinks Mr. Lodge.
War and Baked Beans.
It is a good story, that told by R. K.
Munkittrick in Harper's Magazine. He
was walking "along the bluff at Sias
consett" when he was accosted by a
venerable man who had been in the war.
The old fellow's case seemed a pathetic
one, as he told how strong he was be­
fore the war, how he could do anything
ere the fatal years of army service that
had sapped his vigor and reduced him
to a wreck. He said sadly that he had
been a whole week "a-paintin that there
stoop." "He was not so old yet, he said
would not be 78 till February, and he
ought to be as lively as a cricket still.
He felt that he would have been indeed
only for the war that had ruined his
health and made him an old man befoie
his time. Munkittrick sympathized, and
the veteran told how the war had
knocked him out:
"It was the war that done it," ho continued,
with great feeling. "I came back all choclj
full of rheumatizand malary, and 1
ain't never
been the same man since. 1 tell you that war
was an awful failure for me."
"It was a very sad affair," I said in a kind
attempt to be sympathetic.
"Yes," he replied, "it was. Why, do you
know what I could do before the war?"
"No."
"Well," he continued, "1 could sit down and
eat 10 plates of baked beans for breakfast witli
out turning a hair, and now I can't eat one
plateful to save my life."
The next move in naval progress will
probably be to sheathe the bottoms of
the new eraisers with a coating of wood
and copper. The sheathing prevents the
accumulation of barnacles upon the
ship's steel bottom, and the consequent
frequent docking and cleaning which
^iis fouling makes necessary. The heavy
clogging of the barnacles and other sub­
stances makes the vessel's bottom so
rough and h^avy that her progress ia
seriously impeded, and her coal bills run
inordinately high. Besides that, one of
of our new cruisers could not run away
from an enemy if her bottom was fouled
with barnacles.
After the reproduced flagship Santa
Maria does duty at the Chicago fair she
will be sent to Washington to remain
permanently, to show visitors what kind
of a vessel Columbu3 sailed in when he
discovered the new world. Will they
put the Santa Maria in the Smithsonian
institution along with George Washing­
ton's breeches and cocked hat?
The commercial crisis is evidently
passing in Argentina, and the people are
settling down to work and progress.
During 1892 this country exported to the
Argentine Republic $1,381,000 worth of
agricultural implements and machinery
against $327,000 in 1891.
There are those in this country who
talk of the United States restoring her
throne to Liliuokalani and holding her
steady upon that frail and tottering stool.
The United States will look well in the
role of bolstering up a monarchy, will it
not?

To Cross tli-a Ocean In a Viking Sliip and
Visit the Fail*.
Just in time for the Chicago World's
fair, so apropos as to seem like a provi­
dence, an original viking ship, 17£ feet
long and 16£ feet wide, has been un­
earthed. The discovery is an antiqua­
rian romance in itself. From early days
there has been a tradition that a noted
viking or Norse sea king was buried long
ago in a sand mound near Sandefjofd, a
small port of Norway, and that his ship
was buried with him. The learned, how­
ever, decided that the mound was nat­
ural, and only sailors and peasants be­
lieved in the old saga tale. In the win­
ter of 1879-80, however, a sailor in
Sandefjord declared his belief in the
story, and that he would prove it true.
He began sinking a shaft, as miners say,
and in a few feet struck solid oak planks,
as the surface of the mound had weath­
ered away considerably, and he was for­
tunate enough to begin at the right spot.
The discovery was hailed with delight
in all Scandinavia, and now the hardy
sailors of Norway purpose to prove that

lantic in sucE a vessel 1,000 years ago by

bly well preserved when the mound was
cleared away in 18S0, and in it was the
skeleton of a man with arms and armor
complete. These were shown to be the
kind in use in the year 1,000 or therea­
bouts. The relic is preserved by the
University of Christiania, but a perfect
reproduction of it has been made, and
Captain Magnus Anderson, with 20 men,
is to bring it to Chicago. Three times as
many sailors volunteered as were need­
ed, though the voyage will be no light
task, as there must be a good deal of

Virginia's World's Fair Building.
The Old Dominion State will be repre­
sented at the World's fair in character­
istic fashion. Her building will partak9
largely of the an iique. and the observant
visitor may tracf a clo.su resemblance be­
tween it and the rcsidtv.ee at Mount Ver­
non. There is the same broad porch ai.J
massive square j.-ilhirs. The structure is
low, being but two full stories in height,
with an attic and a small cupola, from
which an excellent view of the busy
scene on the World's fair grounds may
be obtained. The exhibit will include
every product, mineral and vegetable,
which contributes to the material pros­
perity of Virginia. There will also be
many interesting historical souvenirs
with which the state which ha3 been
called "The Mother of Presidents"
abounds.
THE VIRGINIA BUILDING.
It is believed that the World's fair will
have the effect of presenting Virginia in
an attractive light as afield for the in­
vestment of northern and foreign capi­
tal. The state has made wonderful
strides forward in recent years, and
many flourishing towns and villages now
stand where but a short time ago there
was nothing but unoccupied land which
was regarded as worth next to nothing.
The Virginians intend to remove the im­
pression that they are standing still, and
to judge by the manner in which they
have set about their task they bid fair
to be successful.
Tho Fisheries Exhibit.
Enthusiastic pisciculturists declare
that the fisheries exhibit at Chicago will
be a world's fair in itself. The building
is admirably arranged to display the
finny tribes to the best advantage, and
marine plants, shells and artificial rock
work will add realism to the glass sided
tanks through which visitors will behold
the watery wonders. Adequate provi­
sion has been made for supplies of both
salt and fresh water, and great care has
been taken to preserve the life and health
of the fish. For illuminating the various
aquaria at night 750 incandescent lamps
will be used. Nearly all the light in the
building will come through the water in

the tanks, and as the bulbs above the
tanks will not be visible the effect will
be beautiful. With the exception of
deep sea monsters, whales and others
whose bulk or habits make their trans­
portation impossible, almost every sort
of creatures living in the waters will be
represented.
How to Ripen Grape* Quickly.
Keep them growing as near the ground
as possible, because in this way the ripen­
ing process is continued at night by the
heat radiated from the ground. This is
the method in the regions about the
Rhine.
How to Make a Man Kite.
Cross two straight sticks four feet
long at an angle of 60 degs. This forms
the legs and body. Fasten to the ends
of the shorter arms of the cross an­
other stick feet long for the arms
and add a piece 2*^ feet long for the
spine. Bend split rattan into a circle
and fasten to top of spine for the head.
The whole will be about four feet high
and is to be covered with paper like any
other kite.
How to Scour Bed Ticking
Apply to soiled spots a paste made ot
soft soap and starch, and let it dry.
Then brush off with a whisk broom, re­
peating the process if necessary. Finish
by wiping the spots with a damp cloth.

TRANSMISSISS'.PPI CONGRESS,
Twenty-two States und Territories to Ha
Uepresojitesl at Osfden.
The transniississippi congress, so called,
has already held four sessions and exer­
cised great influ­
ence on legisla­
tion, and its ap­
proaching session
will be of unusual
Importance. No
one fact could
emphasize the
westward course
of empire more
forcibly than the
fact that this con­
gress is to bo held

a place which but

was an obscure Mormon settlement, but
is now an important railway center, with
an opera house capable of seating 2,000
delegates and hotel accommodations for
them.
Its first session was at Galveston some
three years ago,its second some six months
later at Denver, its third at Omaha, and
its fourth last February at New Orleans.
All the railroads are making special rates
to the congress, and as it will close about
the time the World's fair opens those
from the Pacific and other far western
states will be asked to arrange their
tickets to the fair so that visitors may
take in the congress. All the states and
territories west of the Mississippi will be
represented, and the principal subjects
discussed will be irrigation and the rec­
lamation of arid lands, silver, public
lands, the Pacific and gulf coast har­
bors and all other matters of special in­
terest to the west.
It is easy to see in all the notices and
appeals of the far western papers in re­
lation to this congress that the idea is
prevalent that the west lias been neg­
lected and that the time has come to
convince the Atlantic states that the
seat of empire has shifted. California,
Oregon and Washington want improved
rivers and harbors and vastly increased
coast defenses, Texas wants deep water
at Galveston and elsewhere, the moun­
tain commonwealths want a comprehen­
sive system of irrigation, and all want
silver restored to its old place in the
coinage.
They have undertaken a big contract,
and have therefore broadened the basis
of representation to secure a big con­
gress. Each state or territory is entitled
to 10 delegates, each county to one, each
city to one for each 5,000 people or frac­
tional part thereof, all commercial bod­
ies in all towns to as many each as the
town in which each is situated, and in
addition all governors, mayors, county
judges and presidents of boards of coun­
ty supervisors arc ex-officio members.
Governor Bradford Prince of New
Mexico is president of the congress,
elected at its last session at New Orleans,
and will hold over till his successor is
elected at Ogden. O. W. Crawford of
Velasco, Te.x., is the present secretary.
The congress has 10 vice presidents, all
men of influence.
THE PRESIDENT'S PASTOR.
Rev. Dr. Sunderland of the First Presby­
terian Cliurcli at Washington.
The presidents of the United States
have generally been attendants at divine
worship during their terms of office, and
Mr. Cleveland during his first term was
no exception to the rule. Few of the
chief magistrates
of the nation
have been mora
regular in this
form of Sabbath
observance than
he. Soon after
his first inaugu­
ration he selected
a pew in the First
Presbyterian
church of Wash-
REV. DR. SUNDERLAND, ington, and not
many were the Sunday mornings on
which he did not occupy it. After his
marriage his wife was admitted to mem­
bership on a letter from the church with
which she had previously worshiped, and
they generally attended the services to­
gether. Upon his second inauguration
the president and Mrs. Cleveland chose
the same church and the same pew oc­
cupied by them during the first admin­
istration.
The old First is historic and was one
of the very first churches organized in
the Capital City. It was established
nearly a hundred years ago and for a
long period was one of the most fash­
ionable churches in the city, its site on
Four and a Half street being in the
heart of wl at wa^ considered the best
residence district. The conditions have
changed now, and the tide of fashion has
swept away to the northwestward, while
the vicinage of the church has become
very thickly populated with people who
are not leaders in society. It still
retains many of the leading residents of
Washington among it membership, how­
ever, and alert, active and aggressive
in its religious work.
The paster of the church, the Rev.
Dr. Sunderland, who has occupied the
pulpit for 40 years, is more than 70
years of age, but still retains much of
the vigor and enthusiasm of his younger
days. His discourses are eloquent and
forceful as of old, when they gained him
a reputatioi as a pulpit orator that
reached far beyond the confines of his
congregation. The burden of his years,
however, ha made it impossible for him
to perform much of the work which
such a pastorate demaiKk, and a year or
so ago the congregation decided to en-
fage
an assistant to relieve him. Rev.
amuel Van Vranken Holmes of Rich­
field Springs, N. Y., was the man en­
gaged, and his labors have been attend­
ed with marked success.
The Book of Hooks.
What is said to be the costliest illus­
trated book ever made is the property of
a man in Oswego, N. Y. It is a Bibio
and cost $'°,000. It was originally in
seven volumes, but has been enlarged to
60 volumes .y the insertion of drawings,
etchings, engravings, lithographs, mez­
zo tints and paintings, Of which there are
3.000.
Mrs. Ole Larson died at her home
in the town of Burnhainville last
Saturday evening of consumption,
aged about 21 years, after an illness
of many months. During the past
winter the lady had been here most
of the time receiving medical treat­
ment, but she kept on growing worse
and last Friday Mr. Larson came up
after her, knowing that she could
not laat much longer. Deceased was
the last member of the Geo. Hildreth
family, all of whom having preceded
her to the great unknown, and all
died with this dreadful disease. Her
parents were among the first comers
to this county, having settled at
Burnhamville about twenty-four
years ago. The funeral of Mrs. Lar­
son occurred Monday, conducted,by
Rev. J. F. Lo. ke, and her remains
were laid at rest beside those of her

An Unusual Incident.
Burt Weaver, a young man well
known to manyiin this community,
had a siege of hard luck last fall, and
among other things was taken ill in
this city. He was without funes and
the county paid his board at the
Wadena house
and furnished him with
medical attendance during his illness.
The whole amounted to a little over
$25 and the first of the week
Mr. Weaver returned from the woods
where he has been working all win­
ter. He immediately hunted upC'om
missioner Fuller and in company
with him went up to the court house
and paid back into the county treas­
ury the sum which had been ex­
pended in his behalf. This is a rath­
er unusualoccurrence,nnd the first in­
stance of the kind 011 record in this
county. If the unfortunate people
who call on the county from time to
time for aid were all like Weaver the
tax payers would rejoice, and would
be ever ready to befriend a worthy
man in need. Mr. Weaver has dem­
onstrated that he is a worthy, hon­
orable man, and will make friends by
the transaction.—AVadeua Pioneer.
A. E. Foote is back from Sisseton.
He reports things booming out
there. lie says Sisseton is quite a
town now with several stores all of
which are doing a thriving business.
A j-ear ago it was nothing but a
patch of bleak and barren prairie.

If a young man in this city keeps
his word the undertakers will have a
job and the newspapers a mighty
good item of news. Over a year ago
a young man became 'engaged to a
young lady and soon after left for
the land of the Dakotas. After ar­
riving there he ceased to correspond
with the damsel she supposed he
had forgotten her and thought her
self well rid of him, but such it ap- 4
pears was not the case, as he re­
turned recently and wanted the girl
to take him back and fulfill the
promise made him before he went
away. This she refused to do and
the young man immediately exhib­
ited a revolver and threatened to use
it in case she did not consent to mar­
riage. She took it .as a bluff and
thought little about it till^the other
day when she received a letter from
him stating that if she did not con­
sent, before Thursday, to become his
wife he would kill her and then end
his miserable existence withthe sqme^

est and possibly only "bluffing," but
the young lady is somewhat alarmed

WORLD'S FAIR EXHIBIT OF PRODUCTS.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company will
Make a Splendid Exhibit of the Products
the SEVEN GREAT NORTHWESTERN
STATES Traversed by the Line Tiz: Wiscon­
sin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon, at the
WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION which
Opens at Chicago Slay 1, and Continues until
October 30, 1893.
The Northern Pacific Exhibit will be displayed
in two elegant exhibit cars built especially for
the purpose at the car shops of the comp&ny at
St. Paul. The construction of the cars is excep­
tionally fine. They are vestibuled, have large
bay windows, and are decorated with the North­
western ornamental woods, grains and grasses
and with mounted wild animals of the Northwest
region. The cars will stand on one of the tracks
in the large annex to the Transportation exhib­
its building, one of the grandest of the exposition
buildings, the third largest on the gronnds, cov­
ering an area of nearly ninety acres. The Trans­
portation Exhibits building is devoted to exhib­
its of every known vehicle, vessel, conveyance, in­
vention or contrivance of transportation on land,
water or aerial, including those of ancient as well
as of modern origin and design, from the finest
modern locomotives, vessels and cars to the
most ancient transportation devices in existence.
The Northern Pacific Exhibit will comprise one
of the finest exhibits of products that will bo
shown on the exposition grounds. The samples
of products will include all kinds of grades in the
straw, threshed grains and seeds, fruits, grasses,
ores, woods, iron, coal, precious metala and
stones, hops, tobacco, building stone, wool, fish,
and aerated, dried, preserved and canned fruits
and vegetables. In the seuson. fresh applet),
pears, plums, cherries, peaches, pmnes. grapes,
melons, roots and garden vegetables will be
brought from the Northwestern states daily for
exhibit.
ID
short, the exhibit will comprise a
general collection of all kinds of products to
show the diversed resourses of the seven North­
western states|traversed by the Northern Pacific
railroad.
While we already have quite a collection of.
samples of products for the Northern Pacific Ex­
hibit yet we would be glad to receive from resi­
dents of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon any
good samples of prodnct8 which they may have
