ORGANIZATION AND GROWTH

Inc county was organized by an actof the legis-
lature sapproved Feb 21st, 1873, and in 1874 the
population was about 300. In 1873, 1900 acres
were under cultivation and in 1888, (last yesr>
about $500 acres were under the plow. The aver
age yield OF wheat is from II to 20 bushels to the
acre. although our good farmers find no difficulty
in producing from rs to 30 bushels per acre. Rye
natures in 80 days and yields largely. Corn is
successfully raised and all kinds of vegetables do
excel]ently. In 1877 Wadena county carried off five
premiums including the sweepstakes at the Min
nepolis Fair. There are three towns in the coun-
ty along the n p Railroad, all of which are doing
good business and destined to be live-go-ahead
towns. The county scat and largest town in tho
county is

There are 81, 900 acres of government land in the
county subject to emption or homestead settle
ment. The Northern Pacific railroad company
has 5000 acres for sale at an average price of
$500 per acre, and spectators held about 20. .o0o
acres which is for sale at average price OF $500
per acre. Farms from either of these sources are
IN reach OF any who. wish to purchase as they can

ccpts Of their crops

The climate Of Northern Minnesota is exceed
ingiy healthy, being dry, pure and steady. The
summers are simply delightful with long twilights
and cool evenings. The winters are about the
same length as in northern New York with the ad
vantage of being more steady. The mercury runs
perhaps little lower, but the cold is not as disa
greeable or penetrating.

Gilman IL. Tucker Of Raymond, n.
IL, prominent republican and book
publisher, writes from New York to an
old townsman as follows / have about
reached tho point whore, for fadical
and efficient reform, / conclude either
the democratic party,or some new par
ty yet to arise, must be depended upon.
Meantime, since the democrats have
nominated 10 unexceptionally strong
and worthy a man as Gov. Cleveland
Of this state,I shall take great pleasure,
IL i am permitted, in travelling GOO

Strange how great minds run In
the same channel. IL is incompre-
hensible how two great minds, thous-
ands Of miles apart, will at the same
moment, be considering the same
subject and oftImes applying the
same method Of reasoning. 1t is also
strange how great minds viii follow
one another IN consideriEg . subject.
We are lead 10 this train OF thought
by reading tho leading editorial In
tho Philadelphia Times OF Sept. 80
entitled els New York the battle
ground?' and then reading the lead
ing editorial Ia tho Oregonian OF Oct.
z, entitled {" The Coming battle In
New York" Both articles treat Of
the subject from the same standpoint.
The thoughts.and opinions expressed
are exactly similar, 50 much 30 that
at first sight we would be led 10 say
that they came from the same mind
but believing that the Oregonian
would not thus bodily appropriate an
article from the columns Of the Times
without giving due credit therefor
we are still left In the dark as 10 the
reason why the two articles should be
exactly alike Ia all the thoughts, and
nearly exactly alike In all the words
contained therein. or course some
naughty hardnut readers will say
that the OregOnian actually approprI-
ated the article from the Times, but
certainly a paper which is so taena-
cious about allowing It's own columns
clipped from without credit would
never stoop so low as TO do the same
towards other papers

It is claimed that, while the indie
Pendents have secured over 10000
names from New York, Massac achusetts
and the rest of the New England states,
pledging opposition to Blaine, they are
also led to believe, through information
from trustworthy sources, that there are
thousands of Republicans who will not
vote for the Republican ticket who yet
do not care to identify themselves ac-
lively with boiling movement. Care
full politicians say that the "silent vote
will be the largest ever polled in this
country, and it is almost q unit against
Blaine.

mocracy.
The LitCh6eld [CI Enquirer, stanch
old republican JOURNAL, cannot 60 the
last bach Of Blaine's letters, and offers
its columns to anybody who will make
him out an honest man.
Hon. Noah Barker of Exeter, Me-,
long prominent and active member Of
the republican party and several years
land agent of that state, has left that
party and now supports Butler aud

Another prominent republican de-
fection Is that of Gen. Alfred Double.
day Of the United States army. Al.
though lifelong republican he pub
licly avows his intention 60 support
Cleveland.
Among the prominent Republicans
who have recently repudiatsd Blaine
aud come over to Cleveland are Hon.

and Congressman Beltord, of Colorado.
William P. Douglass, the Long Is

clines to help Gil the Blaine chest and
says he Is for Cleveland this time.
There are III colored men in one
Cleveland and Hendricks club in Co..
lambus Ohio, and 80 OF them para
ded in uniform on Thursday.
| Eighty-hve of the 100 Republican
members of the New York Stock Ex-
change are opposed to Blaine. This ID
little straw, but il shows which way
the wind is blowing.
| A meeting of anti-Blaine republicans
was held in Somerville Mass. Monday
evening, and q committee appointed
which has already secured more than
| 90 names TO call for meeting Mon
day evening. II is believed that q.
least three hundred republicans who
are opposed TO Blaine can be enrolled.

DR.. Steele, who has voted with the
Republican party since Its birth. and
never voted any other ticket, will this
year vote for ST. John. He states that
he cannot vote for . man 90 personally
dishonest as Blaine, and also states that
there are in Wilbraham dozen at least
equally stsunch republicans who will
this year vote the straight republican

A special from Newaygo Mich,
gives the following particulars of the
dreadful murder committed Mon Jay
night, by Obia Armstrong, a mer-
chant of that village. A few weeks
ago George Bates came to Newaygo,
from Big Rapids, and engaged board
at Armstrong; house. An Intimacy
soon sprung up between Mrs. Arm
strong and the new boarder, which
aroused the suspicious of the husband
Last evening Armstrong found Bate
in his wife's room. The husband
and wife had some words, and the
latter told Bates 10 go down stairs
and get revolver. Bates did as di-
rected by the woman. Armstrong
seized an AK to defend himself, when
his wife caught him around the arms
and as she did SO he threw the ak
over his shoulder, and the blade
planted itself deep In her throat.
She fell to the floor, and Armstrong
rushed down stairs. There he met
Bates with the revolver. The men
cliuched, and struggled, and The ak
again did its deadly work. Arm.
strong chopped Bates head nearly of.
The murderer then gave himself to
the officers.

On next Tuesday state elections will
be held 10 the ADORE two states. Re-
publicans are expecting to receive 20,-
900 to $4,000 majority though some of
them give out the figures at 10000
to $4,000. Democrats do not gener-
ally coacede SO large q majority TO
the republicans though the general feel
ing among democrats east is that
Ohio will go republican by 10000 TO
10000 majority. There are democrats
however who have hopes Of carrying
the state. 80 far as We are able to see
sbe result is very much in ths dark.
There are too many uncertain elements
to consider, to reach satisfactory con
clusioa as to the result. The Irish
vote, the German vote, the wool grower'b
vote, all tend to mystify. The Repub-
leans opened the campaign In West
Virginia with the claim that they would
carry it. But from what we can Judge
Of the outlook 10 that state, we feel safe
IN assuring democrats taat il will 20
democratic, aad that too by an increas-
I'd majority, and we are not without
hope as to favorable result in Ohio.
If both states SHOULD go Republican
It woaid leave democrats in badly
iemoralized condition for the Novem-
Der election. If they should both 90
iemocratic it would virtually settle the
election in favor of Cleveland. If West
Virginia goes democratic and Ohio re-
publican, then the battle SO far as
October is concerned is drawn one,
With no light shed upon the result in
