There is funny rivalry between the
towns of st. Peter and LIE Sueur, a
circular having been issued by bust
ness men of the former place to the
farmers in the vicinity, advising them
to avoid LIE Sueur in marketing their
produce, because an anti-liquor-sell-
ing ordinance has been adopted there,
while at st Peter there is no such OPP
preston of the honest husbandmen.
LIE Sueur retorts that the publishers
of the statement falsify knowingly !:
that liquor licenses are issued, and
every facility afforded farmers to fill
themselves with liquor ad lib.

Now that the strike may be regard
ed as virtually through, q few days
may be necessary to set all things to
rights. We hope and believe that
President Harris will, at fhc proper
time, in good faith, carry ont the fol-
lowing closing sentence Of his recent
address:
"After the business of the road has
resumed its regular channels, the
company will he ready to- consider
any grievances"
We have many reports as to the
difficulty some of the employees la
bored under to live upon what they
were paid. We have thus far not had
time to investigate the subject fully,
but we have felt convinced that some
men of families did find it difficult to
live upon their wages.
Thus early after the great excite
ment Of the past few days we are not
prepared to enlarge upon the qnes-
ton of wages more than to say now
that all must remember that these are
times of pecuniary depression, and
that there are great many idle la
borcrs in the country. Further, that
merchants, manufacturers and bust
ness men of all classes are suffering
and failing as well as laborcrs. Bust
ness men are constantly sinking from
seeming wealth TO poverty. We are
dropping down from reckless sea-
son of imitation and borrowing, to
hard pan and the pay day.
BY the force Of circumstances there
have seemed to congregate about our
cities, our manufactures and our
railroads, too many laborers not
enough have gone to the farms to be-
come producers. The war and fast
living naturally led our people away
from the quiet, peaceful, but in fact
the only truly Independent life man
ever lived. Farm products bring
good, remunerative prices, and the
farmer with good crops is doing fine.
ly. The reason is the consumers
largely predominant.
We say then, when we talk about
the question of the wages of the rail-
road men, there is much to be taken
into account.
But however all this may be, the c.

The removal of the remains of the

The removal of the remains of the
Custer party, who fell on the Little
Big Horn little more than a year
ago, to various places, the General to
West Point, was a stupid conception
and Col. Mike Sheridan who had
charge Of the party recovering and
removing the remains, seems to have
carried out his orders with stupidity
worthy of the original conception.
Aside from the great uncertainty
which will forever remain in the
minds of the friends and relatives of
the deceased as to their particular
identity, will be the thought that if the
dead had been consulted before their
slaughter, they would have chosen
the spot where they fell, by the side
of their gallant men, whom they led
into that slaughter pen, as their last
final resting place i'll preference to
having their skeletons hawked around
over the country with as little cere.
mony as if they were a lot of buffalo
bones on their way TO the phosphate
factory.
General Crittenden, son of the late
Senator Crittendcn, of Kentucky, who
is serving on Sherman's staff, lost an
only son with Custer, and he, to oul
minds, wisely and humanely refused
to have the remains of the young
Lieutenant removed from a spot
which his gallantry helped to make
famous. t ss1

CHICAGO, July 28.-The Tribune of
this morning says: The Communist
fight is over. Bullets and billies were
TOO much for them. 1t gives list of
forty-seven wounded communists, and
says the employees on all the roads
centering here are anxious and will.
ling to return to their work and duty.
To the credit Of these men it must be
said that they have not sympathized
with the mob, and when they found
out that their grievances were being
taken advantage OF by the mob Of
Communists, they gave up the con-
test, and have left it to the magnan-
unity and sense of justice of railroad
managers to fairly adjust the trouble
hereafter.

IT is extremely difficult to ascertain
definitely the actual number of casual
ties in this city during the fight with
the mob on Thursday, but residents
of the locality and the police on duty
during the day and night in the vi
cinity of the Halstcad street bridge,
feel confident that the number of
rioters killed could not have been
less than fifty, and that the number of
wounded was much larger. Mem
bers of the mob were seen rushing to
those who fell. when that was y oss-
IDLE, and conveying them to places of
concealment. Hence the failure OF
the reporters to learn their names. A
clergyman of that vicinity, who was
an eye witness of the struggle on
Thursday, on glancing at the list OF
casualties published in the papers, re.
marked: "The reporters haven't sue.
ceeded in getting one-quarter of the
names of the killed--there must have
been fifty of the mob slain, at the least
calculation" The police estimated
the entire number of mobiles killed
and badly hurt during the week a
l50, of whom, as one policeman, re
marked, 'at least one-half won't do

Many of the agricultural Journals

Many of the agricultural journals
are sorely troubled to know whether
hen "sits" or ''sets.' Ii some editor
Of dignity would set the hen ON the
nest and the little editors would let
her sit it would be well forthe world.
Now man, or woman either, can
set hen, although they cannot "sit'
her; neither can they "set" on her,
although the old hen might "sit'' on
them by the hour if they would allow
ii. A man cannot "set' on the wash
bench, but he could "set" the basin
on it and neither the basin or gram
marians would object. He could
"sit' on dogs tail if the dog was
willing, or he might set his foot on it.
But if he should set on the aforesaid
tail or sit his foot there, the gramma-
rians as well as the dog would howl.
And yet, strange as it may seem, the
man might set the tail aside and then
sit down and be neither assailed by
the dog nor the grammars.-Presi-

A correspondent of the american
Poultry Journal gives the following
excellent advice In chicken-raising:
"When You see chicken little
droopy and its comb getting dark,
remove it at once and doctor it for
cholera; its discharges are green, and
if allowed to run loose would spread
the disease. As preventative, use
a handful of salt twice week in a
basin full of bran mixed with little
meal, and three times a week give
corn at night on which pour a little
coal oil, just enough to coat every
grain and no more. My neighbors
all around have been losing their
chickens, both young and old, and I've
lost but one, and that was ono of my
imported Brahmas; she was affected
so differently from other cases / had
seen that she died before ] knew it
was cholera none have died since.
Clean out your chicken houses !;

acid around" @ Hn, LIS
