O. H. BUCK. BUCK ARE YOU A CITIZEN TBe Recent Election Will Cause Trouble for Many Who Ml JAxe Now Voters. Ffcll Citizenship Must AC- I 'W quired at Once or You'll Miss March Voting.

In the rush to give the people the majorities secured by the different candidates the newspapers have almost without exception forgotten to inform their readers of the result of the vote on the numerous amendments which we're appended to the white ballot. All the amendments, with the possible exception of the one calling for a constitutional convention which may fail from a want of a two-thirds majority, twe been KThe people voted for them all, good or bad, and the result shows that in order to have a constitutional amendment adopted it is only necessary to refer it to the people. Perhaps the most important of these amend in that it affects the rights of citizenship of a number of our inhabitantsis that proposed to section 1, of Article VII, which affects the elective franchise. Every foreign born resident must now take out his second or final papers in order to receive proper recognition from the elective boards when next he attempts to east his ballot. The simple declaration, or "first pa- pers," which have heretofore been considered sufficient are now absolutely of np consequence when it comes to voting.

Not only must he complete his citizenship before he can vote, but he is also debarred from holding public office until he. has secured papers admitting him to full citizenship. A further provision.of this law is that the securing of the final papers must occur at least three months before the election at which it is proposed to vote. The requirements are that the embryo citizen must have resided in the United States at least five years he must have had his first papers two years before he can receive his second he must appear in open court with two fitnesses whonaree full citizens and know th applicant for five nav This may disfranchise thousands of voters in this State and hundreds in this town and county are affected. If citizen's papers are not taken out immediately it will be impossible for many, who have hitherto exercised the right of suffrage, to vote at the spring election.

The coming term of court, which will convene Nov. 23, will be the last opportunity before the elections and no foreign born resident can afford to miss this opportunity. MORRIS' MAJORITY. Complete Vote by Counties in the Sixth District. UDLDTH, Nov.

A BUSY WINTER. That Is What Foley Bros Gutlirie are who and own the at Messrs. Foley Bros. Guthrie besides operating in lumbering railroad construction in their name, are heavily interested in Foley-Bean Lumber company Milaca, are preparing, or in fact have entered upon the work, for a winter's cut of logs this season and a consequent large cut of lumber next summer. The prospect of a of good times has had not a little to do with the firm's determination to do a larger business this fall, and if there is to be a new dawn of prosperity the Foleys propose, to receive a Already the Foley-Bean company has one hundred and fifty men at work cutting and skidding logs on Shakopee lake and Bradbury brook in the SabinWilder tract of pine of Mille Lacs The haul is nowhere a long one and the absence of snow cuts little figure provided cold weather is given them.

Iced roads can be made and maintained at a nominal expense and will answer the purpose for hauling logs very well. The company will put in from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 feet of fine white pine logs this winter, and this will be driven' early in the spring to the company's fine saw mill plant at Milaca, where it will manufactured. It is not considered probable that the company will operate the Milaca mill during the winter, as. has been reported. At Foley "Foley "Brothers will bank from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 feet of hardwood logs for next season's cut.

The Bridgman mill, which is also owned and operated by Foley Bros. Guthrie, will be called upon next summer to cut from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 feet of hardwood, which is now being cut Cloud JournalPress. Postal Information. The public is not as familiar with its privileges about postal matters as might be supposed. Many times people would like to recall a letter after it has been mailed.

This can be done, even if the letter has reached the postoffice at its destination. At every postoffice there are what are called ''with- drawal, blanks." On application they will be furnished, and, when a deposit is made to cover' the expense, the postmaster will'telegraph to the'postmaster at, the letter's destination, asking that it be promptly returned. The applicant first.signs this agreement: "It is hereby agreed that, if-'the letter is returned to me, I will protect you from any and all claims against you for such, return, and indemnify for any loss you may sustain by reason of'such action. And I herewith deposits to cover all expenses incurred and will deliver to. you the envelope of the letter In many cases persons have made remittances to fraudulent parties pr irresponsible firms, not learning their true character until after the letter had succeeded in recalling them.

There is an Kansas City merchant bad remitted a dishonest traveling man a draft for $175, and by means of a witdrawal rescued the draft-just in time. Boston Ladies' Aid Society No. 1, Princeton. Mrs. Mary Stodieck, of Aid No.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather for the two weeks preceding inspection, not so large a number were present as might have been had it been suitable to have gotten about to notify them. The inspection took place in the Sons of Veterans' hall, the ladies' meeting room being to small to accommodate all. Camp No.

59 were present in a body and many comrades of Post 142. When the good of the order was reached, Sister Stodieck asked all necessary questions, then corrected errors in a very gentle and pleasant manner, then gave the society a very interesting motherly talk (of which she is most capable), which was heartily appreciated by all, and responded to by Capt. Spaulding and others. were served to all and a general good time waa enjoyed. No.

A well known citizen who has devoted considerable attention -to the subject of good roads, contends that there is arising jow a more potent factor in advancing the cause of road improvement than any which has yet appeared.

That is the growing sentiment among the younger generation in the country iiifavor of such work a sentiment fostered and nourished by the constant increase in the number of bicycles owned in the country. Such practical illustrations of the need of better roads as are afforded in attempts to propel bicycles on some of our highways are worth a hundred, times any of arguments of other kinds may be presented. And with steady increase in the number of bicycles owned in the country which is continually there will inevitably come that increase in sentiment in favpr of good roads which is so much desired.

For several years he was one of the heaviest loggers -in this section of the State and was considered reasonably successful. At this' time he also farmed, that occupation receiving his careful attention during the summer months.

Overwork brought a failing health and he was finally forced to give up lumbering. Since then he has carried on a farm in Baldwin. He was an active ''and aggressive business man, just and honorable in all bis dealings with his fellow men. One of the bet recommendations of his reliability came from the east where for thirteen years he held a position of trust with one firm. Seven years ago his mind was affected and from that time he.

slowly declined until death relieved him of his earthly cares. Besides a wife a family of seven children, all of mature years, remain to mourn his passing.
