very successful, fish that were put in

much larger than in Europe under the

Providing that the water is not too cold,
carp thrive, no matter how impure It

comes from Kentucky A lawyer,
who belonging to the church, became
intoxicated and was obliged to confess
his fault before the whole congrega-
tion before he could be restored to fel-

the confession, and found large gath
ering of brethren and sisters, whose
bowed heads rose and whose eyes glis-
tened with pure delight as the lawyer
began his confession. II confess" he
said, "that | never took ten per cent.

Six years ago Charley Ross was
abducted from his home under circum-
stances that ought to have rendered
his trail an easy one to pursue. The
boy was so distinctly marked physi-
cally that the attention of even a
casual passer-by would have been at
tracted. Moreover, brother old
enough to be observant was with the
abductors long enough to remember
them, even when he saw them in death
mouths afterward. The pursuit of the
missing boy, stimulated by phenome-
nal reward, has engaged the combined
private and official detective force of
Eastern cities for years, impoverish-
ing the father and resulting in nothing
more positive than the ascertainment
of the identity of the abductors. De-
tective agencies made the father their
prey and levied contributions for al
legged services that well nigh bank
rupted him. Ross says of their ser
vice: ~ was not aided in my search
by any detective, public or private.
Every clue that has proved of service
/ worked out myself" He might have
added that when the combined detec-
tive talent found itself at fault it turned
its skill toward proving the father the
author of the abduction. They had
already made case strong against him
in its presumptions when one of the
real abductors, dying of wound re-
ceived in the perpetration of bur-
glary, declared his participation. And
now, after six years. search, the dis
covery of the boy seems as far off as it
was on the day his loss was first made
known-Er -s

CHILLED Steel PL0W

UnIhIEU SIEEkTkUW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles
A f1rst-class Steel Plow, made In the or
binary way, full rugged, retails for twenty-five
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price OF our new Plow will be nut
Seventeen Dollars, and 1t viii be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
1t will scour in soils where all steel plows
and all other plowS have hitherto proved
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced a CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted SO as to take
more or less land and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of it as desired, and always kept in line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Plow.
1t is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
Bthree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When De say a Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know it is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
Of various metals and call it chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this State.
We can give but very small discount to
them but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost Of manufacture
as possible.
1t will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold
1t shall also be the cheapest
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that ga nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling" need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
ey- This is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rugged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars
Compare this price with that OF any Iron Plow
ever made.
1t is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and half.
Where there are no agents we will, on re-
ceiptof Seventeen Dollars, send Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight. Address,

Is it not fact that every act of the

control of both branches of Congress,
points to the inevitable conclusion
that the leaders have resolved to Sc
cure the control of the government
and attempt the Inauguration of their
President whether elected or not
What other significance had the at

For what other purpose is the bold
effort made to make Minnesota do
service as Democratic State Think
of a party which relies upon carrying
nearly every Southern State by shot

frauds, Think on these things, and
