Several Oranges at Waterloo, ILL.,, have
been badly swindted by pseudo-grang

Served them right They should have
read the papers and learned to deal through
duly authorized a gents Of their own or with
responsible and wall known firms at home

Missouri State Grange, meets At Sedalia on
the l4th, to set time for holding IN elec-

set BY Iowa and Missouri, and establish
Manufaetory in our own State, of all lead

help to solve the heltransportation question,
would make the yfsrmers Independent of

Cremationists might do good thing for
science and advance the welfare of the liv-
ing by setting about the supplying of medi-
cal students with subjects. It would re-
lieve students from the necessity Of violat-
ing the law, and; endangeriug their repu-
tation, if not their, personal safety, in order
to obtain the knowledge which is absolute
ly essential to the practice of the healing
art, and without which the diseased would
have to go without relief and many life
be lost. !

We have heardsit recently charged that
the Patrons have made foolish war on
railroads, and neglected the subject of wa
tor transportation: We deny the charge
and cite the aboye IS an instance among
many where their demands have been heard
and needed. ThesPatrons make no war on
railroads, but only on their abuses-the
Watering of stock. the discriminating in
treights, the Dishonest and extortionate
elevator managell lent and they have all
along looked to water transportation and
the building up IF home manufactures O.
the best and surest way to solve their din
culties. s:. &..5..5
