WILLIAM w. ASTOR DEFEATED.

One, of the personal points OF the re.
cent canvass is the defeat of William
w. Astor, the young millionaire, ny a
comparatively unknown, man, as the
Republican candidate for Congress in
the seventh district. Young Astor has
heretofore been extremely successful as
q politician, having been successfully
elected to the Assembly and State
Senate by the politicians His luck
had been so great and his means were
50 large that 1t was sdifiicult to fnd any
body to run against him, especially as
the district is now represented BY a
Republican. At last Mr.. Dugro,s a
business man, consented to run, and to
his surprise he finds himself elected.
think that a savage attack madeupon
young Astor as being the descendant
of one of the Hessian soldiers in the
revolution did the business. Henry
Astor came to this country as a Hessian
soldier in British pay and settled as a
butcher in this city. He made some
money and then sent for his youngest
brother, John Jacob Astor, whom he
set up in business as an Indian trader,
fur nishing him with a pack OF beads
and cloths to exchange for peltries. On
this slender foundation the wealth oi
| the Astors was built. Henry Astor
was married, but died childless, leav-
ing 100000 to William B. Astor (son
of John Jacob Astor, Sr), VINO oica

mated at from $50,0oo,O00 to s1o,ooo,-

Cambridge, Mass, will ceiebrate It's

of the plymouth Pilgrims, and three
months after the settlement of Boston
Gov. Winthrop decided that n fortified
place in the vicinity was desirable. The
site of Cambridge was selected, and tht

WiIber's Direct Draft
EUREKA MOWER

THIS unrivalled machine has been fully tested
cessive seasons, and can be warranted to possess
the following points of superiority and advantage
l. absolute Direct D,Gtt.-A principle that all
Moving Machine inventors and manufacturers
have been trying to arrive at for years.
2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS gives the choice of side
to NOW on, working the machine back and forth
on the side hills, cutting back and forth across
lodged grass, cutting across dead burrows instead
of moving with them, always cutting long swaths
work.
3. Ease Of D1dn.-Admittng the use of five
feet or SiX-feet cutter-bar without ovcrwOrking
the horses. BY practical use we have fully de-
monstrated that siX-feet bar is worked with less
power than required on the average to work
cutter-bar four feet long on side-cut mowers.
4. Rdpidity Of CU1ing.-Caused by leaving the
cut grass nearly standing-the most favorable POI
slton for the sun and air to have full effect upon
every part of 1t. Nothing more is necessary for
curing rapidly and evenly The side cut mowers
are compelled to drive horses and mower overthe
cut grass leaving IL in fiat and compacted posi-
tion the top only being exposed to the air and
under.
8. Simplicity Of Constructions away with
the bevel gear, and other complicated and expen-
siye features of the old side-cut principle.
The use of Wllber'S Eureka Mower enables the
farmer TO cut grass rapidly and evenly. by rapid
cutting the extra time gained for curing is of inn
mense Importance.
l cordially invite examination, investigation
and criticism. | want every farmer who expects
to purchase mower this season, to first try the
Dlrect-Draft Eureka.
Correspondence solicited. Circulars mailed on
application.

doubt it, and even admitting they are, We
should not and must not be left to run the
risk of suffering and freezing because
somebody considers that 1t would be a
trifling matter to clear the track for trains
to run. We have seen the time it took
weeks 10 get a train between Willmar and

At present the fuel question is OCCUPYING
the attention of the press and business men
of the state, and while the agitation of the
question must result bnneticially, at least
insofar as our present pressing needs are
concerned, we must not allow the discus.
sion to drop, nor our efforts to lag until
some definite steps arc taken to provide all
prairie stations with a surplus of fuel.
Our every day wants will. without doubt,
be supplied, so long as the lines are open
for the passage of trains, but, it is running
u fearful risk to be without supply from
which to draw in the event of a snow
blockade We, who have lived on these
prairies, know and realize our present haZ-
ardous position, and can forsec the terrible
danger to which we arc at present exposed,
our fuel dealers coal bins are empty and
have been for ten days, our wood yards
are filled in the morning only to be emp
tied at noon. This condition of affairs in
the dead of winter is extremely perilous.
and must not, for the credit of the state,
the company and the authorities, Re allow
ed to continue, some steps must be taken TO
guard against this danger to which we are
exposed. 1t may be difficult matter to
provide a surplus of of fuel. but if neces
sary, to secure its transportation, tie mer-
chandise traffic can be suspended for q
short time. A stock sufficient to supply
our wants in the possible event of block.
AIDE Of the lines, is something we must
have, for storm is liable to come at any
moment, and our present predicament
would be DISASTROUS to Hfe and property.
Should we have blizzard, and we are not
using the tactics of an aIarWist, when we
say is not probable we will escape with:
out another this season--we are nnaues-
tionably exposed to o terrible danger, for
the lines are liable to be, as they have
been, blocked for weeks. Tho company
may consider thnI they arc better prepared
