BALDWINS NOT IN THE TRUST.

May of the firm of Burnham. Williams which operates the Baldwin Locomotive Works, emphatically deny he report from New York that their company is to be acquired by the American Locomotive company. George Burnham, says: "There is absolutely no truth in the report. The Baldwin Locomotive Works will be operated independently." John Converse, another member of the firm, was equally emphatic in his denial. The diseases most feared are those which are down front generation to gen- nji eration, and family to family.

By far. the most destructive xA these is Cancer, which finds the greatest number of its victims among the children and grand-children of those whose blood was tainted with this dreadful malady. You may carry this poison in the blood for years, but as the vital powers begin to wane a -slight bruise or cut, wart or mole," sore or pimple may develop into Cancer. From middle life to old age is the time when the slumbering poison is most apt to break out, a sore or ulcer often degenerating into Cancer, and Tumors become more progressive and ulcerate through the skin, the sharp, shooting pains causing the most intense suffering. The Cancer patient naturally despondent as one after another the usual remedies fail, and the sore shows no sign of healing.

The impurities that have been accumulating in the system, perhaps for generations, cannot be eliminated nor. the poisoned blood made pure by salves, washes and The proper treatment is to purify and build up the blood, remove the cause, when the sore or ulcer heals. --i S. S. S.

An old-fashioned Dutch door opens from the vestibule into the delivery hall, at the rear of which is the librarian's desk and office.

Opening off this room are the stack and reading-rooms. One turns instinctively to the reading-room, the comfortable and inviting interior of which is seen through the leaded glass partitions. Its features are a wide, cheerful fireplace and elegantly carved oak mantel and the light and convenient bay window, the one promising cosiness in winter, the other light and airiness for summer. The beamed ceilings and the noble arches and graceful angles add to the effect, and the luxurious furnishings admirably adapt the apartment to the use for which it is designed. The stackroom, to the west of the delivery-room, is fitted with the latest and most approved furnishings and has a capacity of 7.000 to 8,000 volumes.

The Giver. F. H. Dyckman, the donor, laid the foundation of his fortune in Sleepy Eye, though he is now a resident of Orange, N. J.

He came to Sleepy Eye in 1878 at the age of 18 years and two years later engaged in the banking business. In i 1885 he became one of the proprietors of the Sleepy Eye Milling Company. He married Miss Louisa Heroy, of New York, daughter of the senior member of the glass importing firm of Heroy Marrinj ncr of that city, and in 1888 was called east to become manager for his father-inlaw's business. The project which culminated to-day had its inception about i two years ago when Mr. Dyckman announced to a few friends that he would build a library.

Upon his return to New York from a visit here he wrote the superintendent of the public' schools his purposes and conditions, all of which were adopted. Mr. Dyckman's choice of name was the "Prairie Free Library," but at a mass meeting of citizens a unanimous desire was expressed that his name should be upon the building. To this he gave his consent and the building will be known as the "Dyckman Free Library." Mr. Dyckman is president of the State Bank of Sleepy Eye and has other business interests here which call him west at frequent intervals.
