DO you not believe that the
present low, extremely lom, price
for wheat has been brought
about by the combinations be-
: tween the Millers' Association
and the elevators? Did they
not play the same game on all
the wheat growers of North
Dakota last year? then bought
up your wheat at 45 to so cents
Z per bushcl and made colossal
fortunes out Of the advance be-
fore spring The line OF eleva-
tors along this one railroad
(the St. p, NJ. & N.Y. boast OF
clearing cool haIf million of
dollars on last seasons bust
ness. Later on, when you were
preparing to seed your ground
this spring, ingeniously word
eel articles appeared in all the
newspapers showing the Short-
age Of the winter wheat crop,
and predicting ur in Europe,
all of which pointed to an in
creased price for your new
wheat. But now, after Il hard
summers work, and you are
ready to sell, they open the mar
ket at GO and 62 cents. and
grade down your wheat one or
two grades lower than the same
wheat will grade in Duluth.
Many farmers think there is
no remedy, and that you are
compelled to sell to this mo-
nopoly. To such we lave
these four propositions to
make:
First-We will ship (or you
can ship your wheat to Du-
luth, which always grades wheat
better than the local buyers,
and where they make but =
cents per bushel difference be-
tween grades, instead OF 4 cents
at local elevators. We can
give the benefit of a buyer of
thirty years experience, and
you have the advantage of the
Minnesota State Inspection
!. e.. 10y inspectors who are not
L".vers, hut paid by the state to
inspect wheat. As an orcn
market, Duluth ranks best Of
any in the Northwest. owing to
the fact that all the buyers
from Southern Minnesota and
Iowa are compelled to 90 there
to get their No. l Hard TO mix
with their soft southern wheat.
AS soon as your cars are loaded
at this depot we will make you
q liberal cash advance on your

! We shall have daily market
! reports by telegraph from Du-
I luth. and wlll sell your wheat
8 there by telegram at any time
you may order.
Third-To smaller produc-
ers. who cannot ship in carload
lots, but are compelled to store
in elevators here, we will al
{ ways buy your Whsa Cheeks.
and always pay the highest
I market price based upon quo
,ations from Duluth.
Fourth-If you have wheat
stored here, in any elevator,
we will advance money on
wheat checks and carry you
two, four or six months at

Why he Never Missed.

"The prairies of the West are
great places for wind, said tele-
graph operator. 81 used to have a
station out in Nebraska, right out on
the open prairie, and the way the
wind blowed was a caution. But it
was lucky wind for me. AT a sta
ton about thirteen miles west my
girl lived, and as / had no Sunday
train or business of any kind used
to 90 up there and stay over Sunday.
But lively horse from Saturday
night to Monday cost me too much
money, and SO | rugged up sail on
an old tie car. All l had to do Sat-
urday night was TO hoist my sail,
push the tie car out on the main
track and in less than an hour /
was at my journeys end. For more
than a year / went to see my girl
every Saturday night bv means OF
that sail car. Pretty sleek, wasn't
it?"
"Yes pretty sleek. But do you
mean to say that the wind blowed
in the same direction every Satur-
day night during all that timer"
"Of course l don't"
swell, how did you manage it
those nights when it blew in the
other direction ?"
EASY enough. | had another girl

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. AT times,
symptoms Of indigestion are present,
as fiatulency, uneasiness of the stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication OF DR.. Bosanko's Pile Rem

That excellent authority, the Ger
mantown Telegraph, observes There
are few sand plants more highly ses-
teemed than celery. 1t is compare
lively easy of cultivation, and yet
but few attempt or succeed in grow
ing it. Sometimes plants are pur-
chased and set out, but rarely sue
ceed because the roots become dried
and withered. 1t is much better to
grow ones own plants, which can
be done by starting them in hot
bed, or for want of ore, plant the
seeds early in the spring in pan or
box covered with glass and put in a
window which has sunlight. The
young plants are quite slow of
growth, and by the time they put
forth two or three leaves the wealth
er will usually be warm enough to
plant them out into the open soil.
For the purpose of putting out, the
soil should be of good fertility and
well pulYerized. Into this place
the young plants in rows four or
more inches apart and two inches
apart in the rows. They should be
frequently watered by means of a
water pot with fine nose, and in a
little time will begin to make good
growth. A moderately moist soil or
freeuent watering are absolutely
necessary. Before the plants are
ready for setting the trenches should
be prepared by carefully making
them a foot wide, and if several,
three feet part; dig with spade
or shovel, throwing out the soil be-
tween the trenches, keeping level
and smooth; put in well rotted man
ure two or three inches deep and
cover carefully with the soil to a
depth of four or five inches.
When the plants are about six
inches in height commence to trans
plant, by taking trowel and care
fully lifting the plant and then re-
moving the soil SO that the roots
may be spread and not crowded in
resetting. The plants should be set
four or five inches apart in the
trench and the earth well trodden
down. After setting. water copious-
ly and keep the plants moist
by occasional applications of
house slops, soapsuds, ETC.,
which also serve the purpose Of not
Only fertilizing, but also of killing
slugs. In very hot days the trenches
may be shaded by some artificial
means, using branches of trees or
boards. For successional crops the
setting may be made three weeks or
a month apart. The latter part of
July the rows will need special at
tention. The rows should be care
fully hoed, all loose leaves and suck
ers carefully removed, and of loose
earth that is worked into the trench.
with a trowel haul about the plants,
collecting the leaves with the hand,
a sufficient quantity TO commence
the earthing, which should be re-
peated at intervals of two or three
weeks, until the earthing is compile
ted, when the soil should be pressed
about the leaves so as to keep the
air out and facilite blanching. When
blanched it may be lifted fol. r.use, or
protected to endure the winter.

Let every bed maker, as the covers
are spread, turn the upper sheet and
all above it, leaving a generoug mar
gin below the bolster. Some people
always pull the covers straight up
to the top and lay the bolster upon
them, so that when bedtime comes
they have to he arranged at the
head. Boys don't like this way and
perhaps some other folks don't eth
er. 1t is the custom to pile tive big,
square pillows on top of the bolster,
and then put on two pillows shams,
and then sometimes, or perhaps be-
fore the pillow sbams. a sheet sham.
This is setting trap for the unwary.
Only remarkably careful woman
is equal to the task of getting off all
the ''finery" properly.
Why not abolish shams Of all kinds?
Why not honestly take off the big,
square pillows and supply every
bed with a comfortable bolster to
take the place of pillows? If you
like adornment embroider or dec
crate the slips and sheets them
selves, without any make-5elieve.
Silk, lace and the like seem out OF
place on bed, which sheuld sug-
gest repose. Imagine a boy with
big boots on tiinging himself into
the midst of fairy creation of pink
satin and torchonl Let beds be
what they look like. and let them
look like what they are-real resting
places. A great deal of attention
should be given to the proper airing
of mattresses every morning, and
at least once a week stiff brush
should remove the dust which will
accumulate, even in the best order

tufts of cotton or bits of leather, OF
whatever is used to tack the mat
tress with. Attention should also
be directed to the edge of the mat
tress, where the braid is sewed on.

room, dust cannot be avoided, but
it may be at least changed, and il
need not be allowed to accumulate.

A Supposed Murder.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., July 9.-Thomas
Pugh, residing near Hubbard, north
of this city, drove to Greenville yes
terday and secured $1,000. Return
ing home with the money on his
person he stopped at the house OF
his uncle, within half mile of his
own home. About $50 o'clock last
night he left there to drive home,
and at 1920 his wife discovered the
horse and buggy at the door and
her husband missing. Over 100 men
have been securing the locality but
no clue to the missing man has been
obtained.
Mr.. Pugh is 73 years old and was
under the influence of liquor when
last seen. II is supposed he was
followed from Greenville and MUIR
dered.

hushed him up as best she could,
and several times he slapped her
face and kicked her shins and got off
without even a pinch. By and by

whose feet the boy had walked on

and, turning to his right hand neigh

"Land O. massy! but I've either

old man and made a kick, and then
the curtain went up on the play.
With one twist and two motions he
was seized. whirled over pair of
knees, and before he could squawk

its work. If ever a boy of seven
was nearly wound up and the ugly

plete than in this case.

upended the child and placed him

Cracken, a wealthy farmer, residing
near north Liberty, Mercer county,
went to Mercertown on Saturday
and proceeded to celebrate Indepen-
dence day in lively manner. He
was arrested and locked up. This

He Had the Doodle.

Miss Susie had been more than
usually fortunate in keeping her lit
tie brother within bounds when
James came to see her. Her court
ship met with a setback last Satur-
day night, however. While James
waited for her to get ready to go 70
the rink he noticed little Sammy
contemplating his feet with a look
OF absorbing interest. He began to
feel uncomfortable, as will any
young man if you gaze at his feet
long enough. At length out from
the fullness of Sammy's little heart
his mouth spake:
"Mr. Stewpan, kin / look at your
shoes ?"
"Why certainly. Sammy"
Sammy examined them faithfully
and then, in disappointed tone, re-
marked:
Why. they amt any different
from my pas"
Why, Sammy, why should they
be ?"
"And amt yer stockin's or yer
bare feet any different, nuther?"
Not that l know of, Sammy,
But why do you ask ?"

Rebuking q king.

The tinidity which hesitates to
rebuke profanity was. once shamed
by king who had been himself re-
buked for profanity. Riding along
the highway in disguise, and seeing
soldier at an inn, he stopped and
asked him to drink ale with him.
On an oath which the king uttered
while they were drinking, the SOL
dier remarked
Il am sorry to hear young gentle
man swear"
His majesty took notice of it, but
swore again. The soldier immedi-
ately said:
III pay for part of the ale, if you
please and GO; for l SO hate swear
ing that if you were the king him
self, should tell you of it."
SHOULD you indeed?" asked the
king.
II should" was the emphatic re-
ply of his subject:
Not long after. the king gave him
an opportunity TO be "as good as
his word" Having invited some
lords, to dine with him, he sent for
the soldier, and bade him to stand
near him, in order to serve him if
be was needed Presently, the king,
not now in disguise, uttered an
oath. And deferentially the soldier
Immediately said:
SHOULD not my lord and king
fear an oath ?"
Looking at the heroic soldier and
then at his company of obsequious
noblemen, the king severely remark
ed.
'There my lords,is an honest man
He can respectfully remind me of
the great sin of swearing; but you
can sit here and let me stain my
soul by swearing, and not SO much
as tell me of it!"

The Teachers Work.

Headaches and insomnia are at
least as frequent among teachers as
among the scholars whose over
pressure has excited so much COM
miseration. Of all the industries in
which women find themselves en-
gagged this of tuition is, with the ex-
ception of the great duty of mother
hood, by far the most important,
whether it is gauged by the numbers
or the influence of their
work. After mother, teacher has
the most power in shaping the minds
of the generation that is in couple
of decades to do the work of the
world.-PaH Mall Gazette.

Tho Custom or sna,ine.

The custom Of shaving, which is
less than three centuries old, owes
its introduction to temporary fash
ion-the accidental state of the chin
of a French king. Louis XIII
mounted the throne of his glorious
ancestors mere youth, without q
beard. and his courtiers, thinking
that their faces would appear rough
to him shaved off their boards. 80
that they might look young like
their king. The people at first re-
fused to follow this dangerous ex-
ample. but at length began to imi-
tate the nobility, and the practice
became almost universal.
