The secret of success of rapidly

the people join as one man in every

town will prosper as it should when
the chief occupation of each person is
trying to pull his neighbor down.
NORTHWESTERN FARMER.
The farmers will get the legislation
they need, at Bismarck, this winter,
if they will only pursue and not let
the matter drop.
The visible supply of wheat seems
to he continually growing. About
4O,000,0o0 bushels are reported in
store at the principal markets of the
United States few days ago, against
about 3O,00O,OOo, at this time last
year.
A glorious year is promised to the
farmers of this wonderful country in
1885. Even with the low prices of
wheat and other evils now in process
of remedy, the farmers of this coun.
try are much more fortunate than
the agriculturist in other parts of the
world.
GLENDIyE TIMES.

q force of one hundred men will he

Thinking About It.

Thinking About It.
The present year has made the
farmers of Dakota thoughtful for the
future. 1t has been a year of mag
nilicent crops, but without profit to
the agriculturist. The farmers have
been obliged to sell wheat to meet
maturing obligations, and some wheat
has been sold this season for less
sum than the actual expenses of pro-
ducing amounted to. This has made
the farmer thoughtful. 1t has made
him realize the need of diversified
farming, and the Introduction of
stock-raising as a feature of his busi-
ness operations. 1t has made him
realize the necessity of good farming
to the end that large crops may he
grown from comparatively small
area. And it has made him wonder
why the soft and inferior grades of
wheat are 73 cents at Chicago, while
No. hard, worth in any market in
the world, from 10 to Is cents more
per bushel, is only 48 cents at points
along the Northern Pacific railroad.
Allowing no difference in grades, We
see it has cost 25 cents for the farmer
to get his wheat to Chicago. Allow.
ing 10 cents fos superior value of our
grain, we see that it has cost him IS
cents to get his grain to Chicago, or
about 70 per cent as much as he re.
ceived for his grain after season Of
toll, expense and countless risks.
The farmer is thinking about this,
and we expect to see something
evolved as a result of his thinking, i'll
the way of practical legislation which
shall relieve the farmer of outrageous
and unjust burdens. They want no
legislation calculated to do injury to
any. The protection of the farmer
cannot legitimately work to the dis.
advantage Of any one. Nor does the
farmer care to raise q great cry
against monopolies, ETC., to the end
that some of the leislators may pocket
Il large amount of ''swag" from the
threatened and fearful monopolists.
But the farmer does want the right
to handle his grain as he pleases; to
ship when he pleases, where he pleas.
es and to whom he pleases. Ho
wants to be able to do with his grain
just as he can with his potatoes or
with his cattle. Anybody can have
car, OF as many cars as he wants in
which to ship potatoes, cattle or hogs
or even the antiquated bones of the
historical buffalo, but no car for
wheat. Just where his existence lies,
is the farmer cut off.
But the farmer is thinking about
all these thing, and he is going to in.
stitute stalwart inquiry into the
why's and wherefores. He knows
there are legislators who so about
with a swagger and howl about what
they are going to do in the way of
legislation, and who thus get puffed
through the papers, but with their
usual good sense they will leave ali
such severely alone. All the farmer
wants is the same privileges that are
granted to others in the matter of
disposing of his product. A care
fully drawn and equitable bill, look.
ing to the mutual interests of all
parties concerned will meet with lit
tie opposition an result iu much
good.-Jamestown Capital.

Our Beloved Spurlock.

We are cast down with grief. We
have met the enemy and we are his. We
have been routed both horse, foot and
dragon. Our scalp bangles at the belt of
our hated enemy, and his victorious war
hoop is tingling in our ears. Woe, woe
are we, and not a soul is left to comfort
us or to do US reverence. This world is
all bleak to US now because our dear, good
Brother Spurlock, ex- editor, and now ex-
preacher, formerly pastor of the Ninth
street Methodist church, has been found
guilty OF being an immoral man. A jury
composed of three of his brethren-and
ours-decided at Geneseo yesterday that
Spurlock was guilty, which goes to prove
that Mrs. George is equally so. Four out
of the seven counts on which the brother
was arraigned were sustained. Accord
ingly he has been barred from presiding in
the Methodist church any more. This
has been celebrated case. Spurlock was
an elder. Having failed to gain enough
glory in running country weekly, Spur
lock let the thing die, and, donning a robe
of righteousness and a sanctimonious
countenance, set out to preaching. He
preached in Geneseo a while. Then be
came here and filled the pnlpit of the
Ninth street Methodist church for
while. For a short time the goose
hung high and everything was lovely,
though occasionally rumor would start
up that the brother was a wolf in sheeps
clothing. But in short time there fol-
lowed more rumors, and to cap the climax
Parson Spurlock was charged with being
indescreet with lady member of his Rock
island flock. Then he was suspended until
an investigation could be had. This in
vestigation has taken place. 1t was
proven that he visited Mrs. George little
too frequently. He went to see her at all
times of day, and if that WASH. t enough he
went at all times of night And the worst
of it was that he went into the lady's resi-
dence through the back door. One time
he was caught with Mrs. George sitting
on his lap in the Sun office. We deeply
sympathize with Spurlock, but never hav-
ing been in his fix we are afraid that our
sympathy will not help him, as our pole
isn't long enough to reach him. Having
been dismissed from the ministry, he can
now find time to go on the lecture stage.

Organ Voluntary
Snow

1t commenced showing yesterday even
ing, and continued up to noon today,
though there were intervals when it ceased
for little while. It now covers the
earth all the way from one to three inches,
though in some places it is deeper than
this, where it has drlfted. The street
car lines were disconnected somewhat
early this forenoon, but are now making
their regular trips on usual time. 1t will
discommode the railroads to some extent
no doubt. 1t is rough initiation for the
first of March, but it is to be hoped that
the weather will not continue this way
all the month

A Perturbed Soul.

Three or four of our newsboys were at
the r. l. & P. depot this morning They
were as frisky as kittens. They got to
cutting up. One of them, in forgetful
moment, sat down upon the heating
register. He didn't sit there long. The
apex of his pantaloons caught fire, and he
gave a yell, jumped up into the air and
made break for the door. Then other
kids who remained got to scuffling
and wrestling While two of them were
scuffling they got over in a corner and
stepped on a fiddle box containing a fid-
die, the property of a meak eyed chap,
who was going out to Orion. The fiddle
box was smashed, which caused the fel~
lows temper to rise. He set in to 'curs-
ing" the kids. The kids laughed at him.
The scene was cut short about this time
by the train pulling in, and the granger
grabbed his treasure and bearded the
train.

Severely Burned

Yesterday evening about half past four
o'clock, an accident happened in John
sons shoe shop, in the postoffice block.
One of the shoemakers named B. Blackall
had occasion to use some glue. The supply
of glue having>run out he proceeded to
make some. He took some rubber and
some glue and put them into bottle con-
tanning about one pound of carbon He
was, at the time, working near "a small
spirit lamp, and while he was shaking the
bottle the bottom fell out, and the lamp
ignited the carbon causing an explosion,
setting things fire Blackall was Sc
verely burned about the knees, and his
hands, while Mr.. johnson had his right
hand severely burned. The carbon flew
all over the room. setting everything it
touched on fire. Fortunately there were
several persons in the shop and the fire
was soon extingulshed before ii had done
any considerable damage Blackall will
not be able to work for few days
