Organization of Rice County Farmer. to

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
FARIBAULT, Feb. About two months ago a
farmer living in the town of Warsaw, this
county, having suffered from the ''little brass
kettle" way Of grading wheat (Which swindle
the GLOBE was the first to expose), he con-
ceived the idea of a farmers association, the
chief object of which should be the mutual
improvement and self preservation Of the
farmer from THE ways that are dark and the
tricks that are mean of the many rings that
are sapping the very life blood of the country.
On the 18th of December last club was
formed in Warsaw, officers elected, constitution
and bylaws adopted, and the
ball put in motion for the thorough
organization of the State. Wednesday
last, February 5. delegate convention was
held in Theopold's hall, this city. The number
of delegates present was about It's, represents
ing the following towns viz: Morristown, War
saw, Wells, Shieldsville, Forest, Bridgewater.
Cannon City, Wolcott, Webster aud Wheat
land. The organization in other counties re-
ported ten in Steel, five in Waseca, and five in
lie Sueur. The following are the officers of
Rice county organization for the ensuing year:
James Murphy, president Warsaw.

THERE was never a greater insult offered
this city than that which is rendered by Bill
King and his newspaper relative to the State
fair. The State fair organization is not a
local affair. It is not St. Paul institution,
or Minneapolis institution, but an institu-
ton for the whole State. Bill King wishes
to run 6 little pocket affair OF Minneapolis to
enrich himself, and coolly proposes that the
whole State shall join him and ruin its own
State organization. Not only this, but he
and his newspaper make war of the most
venomous character upon the State organiza-
ton. Bill King and his gang, whether they
live in Minneapolis or St. Paul, should I'M
derstand that come what will, this city will
not dance to the side show music. ST.. Paul
stands by the State organization and will
have nothing to do with Bill Kings bankrupt
abortion. No respectable army mule would
have the cheek to present such proposition.

MURDER as II FINE ART.

The Insane Asylum, at st. Peter, does not
seem to have put its best foot forward upon
the occasion Of the visit of the legislature
yesterday. Belts ought to have shown how
they murder people with wooden plug, and
hot soup crammed down their Threats. Here
is the way Belts swore, before the legislative
committee, that he did it:
said to Helberg and OConnor, have some
soup and meat; give him (MoDonough) some

opened his mouth with stick. O'Connor gave
him two or three spoonfuls; at the third he
seemed to faint; we raised him up, but that
did not hold him. l said take him into an
other room; we carried him in, laid him on a
bed, and went for the doctor, who stayed with
him until he died. which was about fifteen min
,ktes.
roborated by Helburg, who testified as fol-
lows:
Belts told us to hold him (McDonough) and
lay him bench; held him by his hands
and sat across his body; Mr.. Belts and pa
tient named Drew helped to hold him; O'Oon-
nor held the soup; Belts plugged his mouth;
the plug slipped out; Belts was excited, and
thrust the plug down his throat and held him
SO fast he couldn't move anything; could see
down his throat; Belts told O'Connor
to pour the soup into him; could
hear his breath gurgle as the soup was going
into the windpipe; felt his strength was go
ing; said in whisper, Mr.. Belts he will die.
Belts said. he is only choked; the same moment
I let go his hand, lifted him up and shook him
he gasped for breath, and died in .1fve minutes
If the legislators had inquired they would
have learned that Belts has not only ESCAPED
prosecution, but he has not even been dis
charged from the asylum. On the contrary,
he has been promoted. Such q gratifying
endorsement of murder ought to encourage
Belts to publicly exhibit his style when the
legislature visits him. He might select one
of the stout and heavy visitors to sit across
the victims chest while the plug and SOUP
are administered. He could show his assert
ment of plugs adapted to the different
lengths of the necks of the victims to be
murdered, and his patent gas holder for keep
ing the soup scalding hot, ready for constant
use. Altogether it would have been unique
exhibition, and we are surprised that the ten
der Mr.. Belts should have failed to have
given this charming entertainment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Mr. Muldrow. from
the committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures, reported bill authorizing the treasurer
Of the United States to receive coins of the
United States in exchange for United States
notes. -
Mr. Patterson inquired if under this bill the
owners Of trade dollars would not present and
compel the government to pay them in return
in treasury notes?
Mr.. Burchard, who had originally introduced
the bill, said he believed they could.
Mr.. Brewer offered as substitute an amend
ment providing that on presentation of any
coins of the United States at the sub-treasury
OF New York, there shall be exchanged therefor
on demand to the extent and amount to which
the coins are legal tender, an equal amount
or treasury notes, and all silver coins SO re-
celved, which are unfit for circulation shall be
recoined.
MIR. Garfield opposed the bill. The PROPOSE
lion was substantially one to redeem coin in
paper.
Mr.. Burchard said the effect of the bill
would be to prevent bankers entering into q
combination to discriminate against silver.
MIR Garfield characterized the bill as crude
and imperfect attempt to obtain interchange
ability, and he moved to recomm1t the bill.
