Harvest is we'll advanced. Wheat
is ripened prematurely, and being some
what shrunken, will yield less than last
year. There have been seyeral'showers
the past week, but very lutte rain.
It is very dry, but crops have suffered
less than in Wisconsin. Early rose
potatoes are fair size but few in hill.
Peach-blow potatoes are a total failure.
Corn is looking well and is forward.
Oats are good. Wages from two to
three dollars per day, and laborers
plenty. The weather is cooler-yery
healthy. Cannon River Valley is ex-
tremely beautiful. The soil Is rich
and yields bountiful crops. 1t is we'll

it be done at once, as the evenings are
now long enough for lecture of an

appreciate and prefer something high

the useless performance of a sham COM

The Republican Party VIII Make
Them FIUttar.

The fact that the Republican party
is about to take hold of the railroad
troubles, puts the Democratic party in
fptter and also that other class,
headed by the Industrial Age, who
have had lively hopes of building up a
new party through a general war upon
railroads. Therefore, old Democracy
and new Democracy join in howl.
They cry aloud unto the people, that
during the past sixteen years, the Re
publican party has never waged a war
upon the railroads
That IS fact The Republican
party has had about all it could do,
during the past sixteen years, in ward
ing of and saving the people from the
evils designs Of Democracy. 1t has
had to raise men and means to carry
on four years war; a rebellion con-
ceiyed and born in the Democratic
party; rebellion comprising all the
people occupying nearly onc-half the
territory Of the Union. aided and en-
couraged BY that Democratic party liv-
ing in tie other or loyal part Of the
Union. Since the Democratic party
t'was captured by Grant, at Appomat-
OK" the Republican party has been
very busy in patching up the rents
this Democratic rebellion has made in
the Union, and other matters pertain
ING to our national existence and the
most excellent manner IN which the
Republican party has fixed up the
Union, after having wiped out slavery.
and firmly established the great prin-
ciples Of universal liberty in every
part Of this goodly land, has aston
ishej al the most civilized nations on
the earth
10, it has made no war upon rail
roads, during the past sixteen years.
If it had the disposition, it has had no
time. But during the past sixteen
years it has, through its wise policy,
produced such universal prosperity in
the land that thousands upon thousands
Of miles Of railroad have been built,
reaching out INTO the wilderness and
waste places, opening mp new territories
mi new states, causing the wilderness
10 blossom as a rose. = Oh i is
wonderful what mighty works this Re
publican party has wrought in the
land, IN spite Of Che yeiping Of the
whole Democrat;o pack with the adj
dltion Of the disappointed deserters
from ITS own party, J on its great trail
OF progress, but to far behind to affect
It's movements. And now, as there is
nothing else cf Importance on hand,
the Republican party proposes to take
hoid q the matter. and straighten up
the railroad difficulties that are at pres

RAILROAD THIEVES CAUGHT
The Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad

and s. VI. railroads for three months
past. The seven men arrested are all
employees of the N. & St. 2. r. E. at

Several eminent Biologists are
in our county the present
week. We learn that one Of the as
sistant State Biologists is here, un-
der the direction Of Prof. Lapham,
looking up the deposits of our soil.
Prof. Murrish, late State Geologist,
and Prof. Fisher, Of the u. S. Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md, have
been here several days, examining
the extent and quality Of our kaolin
beds. As to the quality, they say
there can be no doubt as to its SUI
periority-equal to the best in the
world; and as to quantity, they con-
clude that it is practically inexhaus-
tlble. Prof. Nurrish informs US that
the Milwaukee gas company have a
strong notion of shipping large guam
titles Of the clay to that city to be
manufactured into friedrich. He
also assures us that to burn it here
would be profitable enterprise for
any one who has the necessary CAPT
tai. Why don't some one take hold
of it?
