Our predictions in the last issue to the
effect, that Geo. B. Wright would soon
tell us that our only salvation lay in lend.
ing aid and support to the Minneapolis &
Northwestern r. R.-obslete narrow guage
has been verified, as he comes out in the
last issue of the Pope County Press, and
makes long but very weak argument in
favor of that road Mr.. Wright takes the
ground that the Little Falls & Dakota road
will be feeder for the st. Paul & Pacific,
and the Minneapolis s. Northwestern will
be sharp competition with the same road.
1t is d significant fact in this connection
that the ST. Paul 6 Pacific road has been
changed to the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba, and the Minneapolis Tribune in
an editorial, in Mondays edition comment.
ing on the change in the management and
ownership of the road says: "It is not too
much to say that Minneapolis comes in for
large share of the benefits to be derived
from this happy consummation."

The great mystery which shrouded the
death of Mrs Hull, of New York, has been
solved, her murderer, a colored man named
Cox, having been arrested in Boston. Cox
has confessed his crime, and claims to

violence sufficient to cause death, his only
motive being robbery.

There is more truth than poetry in the
following paragraph clipped from the Min
neapolis Tribune: "a good county fair,
among all its other merits, is an evidence
of thrift on the part of the farmers of the
County. A poor farmer cares nothing
about fair, he has nothing to exhibit,
and he dislikes to attend, for he is remind
ed by the superior products which his neigh
bors display, what failures he and his farm
are."

Now that our village has been obliged
to pay damages in sum sufficient to have
put the necessary repairs on every inch of
side walk in town, would it not be advis-
able for the council to put the sidewalks
on the corner of Sixth street and Pacific
avenue in some sort of shape, and compel
owners of lots to build side walks in front
of their property, or else let the council
take steps to put it there themselves.

Hon. J. N. Stacy in recent lengthy letter
to the Delano Eagle in defense of his pat
ent Filler amongst other things says ''every
dealer should have one at once, and every
man who intends to run threshing ma
chine should send in his order at once.
y BY adopting this course the farmers of
the state could have their wheat tested
when threshed, by the standard tester, and
know the grade thereof" This is bosh,
sheer nonsense, and shows ignorance tits
not the weight of the wheat that decides the
grade, the condition of the wheat is the
first point. l. e., its soundness, the amount
of foul seed and dirt, color etc., etc, are
the main questions in grading. The tester
is only used to back the inspectors judg-
ment, and if wheat is full of cookie, buck
wheat, pigeon-grass seed ETC., etc., no tester
is required. Where there is competition
in the wheat business, the question for the
grader to determine is chow high a grade
can l give" as on his liberality in grading
his popularity and success depends. Nc
complaints are made at points where there
is competition.
