A physician of North Adams, Mas
sachusetts, was called by telephone
about one O'Clock at night. The call
came from Briggsville, about two miles
away. A child was there suffering
with the Group and in critical condi-
ton. The night was dark and stormy
and the doctor found nothing pleasant
in the contemplation of the trip which
he was asked to make When prepar

rain bis mind conceived bright idea,
which was Immediately followed by
acts. He called the Brlggsville House
in which the little sufferer lay and re-
quested the parents to bring it TO the
telephone transmitter This was done.
The child coughed its Group cough, and
the doctor listened intentIy to every
sound which came from his patient.
He prescribed remedy and one of the
members Of the family prepared and
administered it. The relief was inn

doctor waited at the telephone until be
/ heard of the favorable results OF his
prescription. and then sought again
the repose of his couch, pronouneing
blessings on the inventor of tele'

him, and showed, by their interest,
that the minister had never seen two

his mistake as soon as they did, but

The Democratic county convention for
Stevens county will be held on Saturday
next. The officers to be nominated are
commissioner for the First district. Judge
of probate. county attorney, register of
deeds, court commissioner, surveyor and
coroner. c. Z Hegland, G. p. Maginnis
and Justin L. Miller, will, in all prada
bility, be re nominated Brown, for
county attorney, probably will not be op-
posed by a Democrat, nor is there likely
to be any nomination made for the office
of surveyor or coroner. If it should hap
pen, as now seems quite likely, that the
Republicans will not call a convention.
we would advise the Democrats to place
the present incumbents OF the three latter
offices on their ticket.
The names that will be presented for the
offices of judge of probate, and court com
missioner by the convention will, noIdoubt,
be entirely satisfactory. Judge Brown we
cordially endorse for the Office he at pres
ent holds and we sincerely trust that when
this judicial district is divided, it may be
our good fortune to retain his services.

Il STUMPER FOR CONGRESS.

The Fergus Journal says: "Knute Mel,
son has taken the stump and asks why
Kindred does not do the same. Whether
this is an invitation for Mr.. Kindred to
take the stump and show what he can do
in tnat line, or to lower himself as Nelson
has done, we do not know; but in either
event we presume Mr.. Kindred will do his
best to avoid being placed in such an OBJ.
jectionable situation Blowing ones, own
horn ought to be considered delicate
piece of work. We do not consider a good
stump speaker is any Indication of a good
congressman. We are of the opinion that
stump speakers find very little use for that
low ability in congress; craftsmanship is
hardly made up of that kind of material.
From what we know of Nelson there is
no doubt but he could ridicule and abuse
Mr.. Kindred out of the field in no time
experience has abundantly enabled him to
do it. If Mr.. Kindred has to present his
own "war record" and sing song of his
own praise, wash it down with dirty
stories let him go under, rather than resort
to it. MI. Kindred has plenty of friends
who are more than anxious to present his
cause in decent shape to the people, and
discuss his genuine merits for congress.
1t is not a matter which can praise him
self the most or make crowd laugh over
a keg of beer, the best, but it is, which is
the best naturally adapted to the untiring
work to be done, to satisfy the actual
wants of the district, and who can most
readily comprehend what this is Mr..
Nelson might answer the purposes for
few pieces of work, but for him to do all
the hard work that will be earnestly de-
manded of congressman of this district,
as ably as Mr.. Kindred, is nonsense.
Those knowing both men we'll know this
is not true. If Mr.. Nelson must. as his
friends think, have an office, let it be one
where the omission to perform the duties
of it will be of less injury to the people. A
seat in congress with all due respect to
Nelson, is a peg or two higher than his
public spirit or past experience will war
rant; rather let his stumping abilities go
where they can be better appreciated.

Where are we to look for the superior eX-
perience and law making sagacity of Mr..
Nelson, over that of any other soldier who
did his duty well; who keeps the records
of that office? If the soldier ability of the
nation were to meet in convention today
to place man in the field for congress,
would Nelson receive any more votes than
he did commissions as an officer in the
army2 1t did not take a natural born
leader of men or 1.-The bravest man" long
to rise above the high private in the rear
ranks We are exceedingly sorry this rule
wss reversed in Mr.. Nelson's case. One
who is great, brave soldier at heart, sell
dom drops his sholdiership down into dis
repute. 1t is not often, after their term of
service that they demand an office they are
not capable to fill, as a compensation for
their work. 1t would be far more becom-
ing for Nelson's outfit to run him as an
old trickey politician, than as great sol
dier. In the former, his qualifications are
in abundance, in the latter he lacks all the
elementary and cardinal principles.

Le0iSIatice.

The legislative contest in this district is
thus far apparently in the interest of the
regular Republican nominee of the Browns
Valley convention. The principal contest
is of course between the two rival candi-
dates for senator, Messrs. Campbell and
Washburn Mr.. Campbell has had but
little time to canvass the district in his
own interests but he is generally recog-
nized as the regular Republican candidate
and has not been mixed in any disgraceful
trades, so that he has all the prestige of
regularity in his favor and is able at the
same time to claim the support of all who
desire are preventative in the senate, ,untram-
meled with load of political pledges.
Mr.. Campbell has every claim to the sup
port of his constituency and will receive a
solid vote in his own county and a large
share of the votes in the balance of the
district. The people who wish a truly
representative man who has no private
schemes afloat, will vote for Mr.. Campbell.

Il DLSTING UISHED SOLDIER FOR
CONGRESS.

CONGRESS.
Mr.. Gilman, Gordon and others are
running Mr.. Nelson for congress upon the
theory that he has been soldier, and was,
as they are pleased to tell us s'the bravest
in the regiment" We do not think this is
a just nor an unjust claim upon the office.
Whatever he may have been in military
life, he should have all the credit there is
due him, and we are the last to have him
shorn of one particle of glory; but that has
no direct bearing according to the show
ing they have made upon his career as a
civilian. A large number of the army
could as consistently demand the position
upon the same basis and perhaps more
justly. Quite number fought harder and
longer; suffered great privations in Ander-
sonvillle and other prisons without pro-
visions as good as those dealt out to the
common packs of hounds, and were weeks
and months without sufficient clothing to
hide their nekedness. These might apply
and they could not be we'll refused. But
how many from the ranks of these suffer
ers, have with the same views, followed
the example of Mr.. Nelson Has their
proud manhood often descended to the
same level? Does history give us the
names from the ranks of these then suffer-
ing heroes, who are going from place to
place, from one grocery to another, har-
ranguing their own virtues to every little
knot of listeners they are able to drum to-
gether at the cross roads, purchasing every
semblance of opposition possible, like
merchandise, when their quantity told
story makes no converts? Do these scar
worn veterans wrangle in politics, from
early morn until midnight, playing their
sly tricks when fair means will not pre-
vail to secure votes? Are the performan-
ces, Nelson is daily going through, the
acts of a great man, and one of those which
in the light of wisdom should send him to
congress, where the rights and liberties OF
the citizen are to be kept from the tyrani.

There is probably but few men in the
state who has the interests of the farmer
more at heart than G. F. Kindred. He
knows as well as any what it is to raise
wheat at great expense and sell it at a
low price. He has this year on his differ
ent farms about 5000 acres in wheat, which
at an average of fifteen bushels per acre
would be $4,000 bushels. His crops next
year will be much greater, and so he will
continue to increase until he will have
some $4,000 acres in wheat. As his lands
are in different parts Of the state the farmer
can see that it will be to his own interest as
well as theirs to have as good wheat mark
cts and good competition for purchasing
and shipping as possible, which when done
will benefit them as well as himself. In
this way and in raising cattle and sheep
Mr.. Kindred is well identified with the
people-and 10 further these interests will
be his mission TO congress.

Mr.. Kindred has done more for the in

ments made by congress in this state, his
Judgment having been found important
and second to none upon such matters
And for looking ahead and correctly ascer-
tanning what the public should have to
keep alive healthy prosperity, it is said
by those who are fully competent to judge,
he has few equals. He is one man among
a multitude who never permits his good
judgment and discretion to be warped by
prejudice. This is more than can be said
of his opponent, if his history and public
life tell the truth.

Duluth is fast becoming lumber mark
ct, and as it does Minneapolis will fail to
get its extortionate prices for lumber. And
Duluth is fast becoming great wheat
market, and when it has fully succeeded
in this, the Millers' Association and the

get wheat, ten or fifteen cents below the
market price. We will have direct COM
munication over the Little Falls s. Dakota
road in full blast inside of six weeks, then
the lumber and wheat combinations, of
Minneapolis, of which Mr.. Nelson is a

ing to get a carload. Their own salvation
is to elect Nelson so he can prevent the
