made quite u neat speech in the
Farmers Convention yesterday. ne
said lin the language OF The SUN) |
.stock.raising is the thing for the
farmers. Cattle cannot be graded |
by the millers' association as No. 3.
Our special telegram from ST. Paul
will be interesting reading for our
farmers. 1t is amusing to read about
Governor Hubbard and his sympathy
for the farmers. The truth is his
sympathy is about the same, as that

innocent mouse.
There is a bill before congress to
grant back pay and pension arrears to
Mrs. l.. G. =. Haskins, of Roseville,
on account OF services rendered in the
army by her deceased husband who
occupied the position Of a lieutenant.
The bill has been reported favorably
from the committee on Invalid Pen
sions and its passage will be adyocat-
| ed on the floor of the House by Con-
gressmpn Wash burn and Nelson. If
| it should pass, Mrs. Haskins will get
somewhere between 81 400 and So
| 0O0.-IIerman Herald.
The many friends Of Mrs. Haskins
in this city will be pleased to hear

for, of the many persons receiving
pensions from our government, few
are more deserving than this lady.
