To him we are indebted for all the bless ings we enjoy in our model re public: his unselfish sacrifices and devotion to the cause of lib erty are unprecedented in the history of warfare. We cannot too highly honor the living, or too sacredly revere the memory of the dead. Realizing this, the state and the nation have by wise legislation designated an annual memorial day. On this day let us show our love and gratitude to the American soldier. Let us deck with the choicest floral offerings the graves of our patriot dead. Let us extend to the living heroes the nation's love, and let us renew our fealty to the cause of liberty and reconsecrate our selves to the institutions of our country which these men fought and died to save. Let us, then, observe as a legal holiday, Satur day, May 30, 1903. I would suggest that flags be placed at half mast, and that all factories, mills, stores, mercan tile houses and offices be closed, and all business be suspended, that the day may be most sacredly observed in every city, village and hamlet in Minnesota. Given under my hand and seal of the state, at the capitol, in the city of St. Paul, this 12th day of May, A. D. 1903. [SEAL]. S. R. VAN SANT. By the governor: P. E. HANSON, Secretary of State.

Start the Xight Shift of Their Mill Last Xight. Output of Lumber Exceeds That of Any Mill in the State by Several Thousand Feet. The Crookston Lumber Co. put on a night shift in their new mill last night, and for the rest of the! season will. run ifight aud kty. The managoment of the milt are certainly hustlers, and deserve' much credit for the efneiont manner in which they are hand-1 ling this big concern. From now on there will be a steady stream of lumber coming from the mill night and day, and it is now an assured fact that the output will greatly exceed that of any'mill in the state. A view of the mill in operation from the gallery at night is an inspiring sight. None but the latest and most up-to-date ma chinery is used, and all hand work has been eliminated. The men employed are all thorough workmen, and so far the mill has been running with out a flaw and scarcely an acci dent. The mill is at the present time Bemidji's largest enter prise, and the people of the city made no mistake when they made overtures to the company to lo cate their mill at this point. Jaoe Found In Oregon. "Jade, the sacred and rare stone used by the Chinese in making brace lets, rings, vases, etc., has been found recently in large quantities in the state of Oregon," said S. T. Taliaferro of Portland to a Star man at the Ar lington this morning. "The discov ery is considered quite an important one from a mineral as well as a com mercial standpoint. This find is said by geologists to be the first of the kind in the United States. The Ore gon jade is tough and compact and varies in coior from a pure white to a dark green. The bulk of the supply heretofore used has come from Turke stan, but some little ...as been found in New Zealand and in the islands of the Pacific."Washington Star. Did Not Mean Disapproval. In an Iowa law court au attorney was arguing with great earnestness and eloquence. In the midst of hia argument he paused a moment, ac cording to the Green Bag, and said: "I see your honor shakes his head at that statement. I desire to reaffirm it, although your honor dissents." "I have not intimated," replied the judge, "how I should construe the evidence of what my decision will be in the case, and your remark is uncalled fofT'C" "You shook your head." "That may be true," the court replied. "There was a fly on my ear, and I reserved the right to remove it in any manner I saw fit Proceed with your argument."

The late Judge Smyth, so much bet ter known as '"the Recorder,' used to have a reminiscence of another law yer who now enjoys much distinction at the bar and for a time rejoiced In judicial honors, but who was at the time the managing clerk of a law of fice on the same corridor with that of the future recorder. 'I met him in the hail one day," said the old judge, "and he was evi dentl rery much agitated. I Inquired the nature of his trouble. Almost weeping, he answered: 'I have been discharged, r/^iacharged without a word of explanation, after five years of faithful service, it is very hard.' And then he quite gave way. and added, in tears: 'And you know. Mr. Smyth you know what affidavits I have mad* for that man.' Mr. Urown'i Wild Klde on a Shovcn. C. Henry Brown, O years old. of Ileltt, Ohio, was persuaded by friends to go coasting. The old man procured a scoop shovel and said b* preferred to ride on that instead of a sled. He started down a steep incline and rode for half a mile. When the bottom of the hill was reached Brown ran Into a stone wall. He was rendered uncon scious and lay In the snow for six hours. He was finally picked up and taken to his home, inhere he is in a critical condition. The track Brown rode on is almost straight up and uown, and composed of solid ice. 8he Wanted a Chiingo.

A device for suppressing sound and smoke has been provided for the ordi nary rifle by a French soldier. It con sists essentially of a s'.eei tube-about thirty Inches long, with several parti5 tlons having orifices slightly larger than the bore of a gun, and this tube is attached in the front of the muzzle of a bayonet clasp whenever its use is desired. On firing the gun the gases are retarded by each partition in turn, finally escaping without sound or smoke, With a knife at the end the auxiliary tube can be made to serve as a bayonet,
