That this can be done and has been
done, can demonstrate to any man with
ordinary intelligence. These figures all
allow a margin on the safe side. We can
raise corn in Minnesota, but we can raise
something better than corn to produce
beef. It is impossible to estimate what
the growth Of roots would be in the Red
river valley, probably so per cent. more
than have given. Mr.. Hill argued. that
the way to make a market here is for ST.
Paul and Minneapolis to pass ordinance
fOrbidding the exposing Of meat for sale
which has not been inspected on the hoof.
That would oblige the cattle to be killed
here, and we should have market and
be sure of good, sound, healthy meat.
Otherwise we can't compete with the
dressed beef men. He spoke of the pres
ent absured arrangement whereby cattle
go from Minnesota to Montana to be
raised are shipped to Chicago and the
Illinois stock farms, are shipped back to
Chicago, killed there and then the meat
sent here. If we can bring the cattle
here on the hoof and in good condition,
we have an advantage and can afford to
pay more for stOckers, until we raise our
own We shall have market, employ our
own labor, feed our own fodder and not
go broke on wheat

in careful and exhaustive research sub
mitted the following report addressed

FRENzIED NAPLES.

NAPLES, August 29.-Mouni
VesuyIus is now IN violent state
of eruption, and the people living IN
its vicinity have fed to the interior
| where they are congregated IN open
fields. spending the most of tho time
in prayer and suppIicatioh. Ma
Piles is almost depopalated. and the
few people who remain arc also pan
ic stricken. The open spaces and
squares of the city are flied with
men and women upon their knees
Offering MP prayer TO stay the erup-
tions and save their lives.
The same state of CONSERVATION
exits at Bari. where the priests are
proclarming that the eruption is a
visitation OF God because of the
wickedness of the people. A con-
sequent Weakening of religious fervor
has taken place. Nearly every
person in the town can be seen in n
devotional attitude at almost any
time in the day or night.
The shock of ca, -hquake spoken
of in. the. dispatches above, was
plainly felt in the Southern States.
and seems to have extended clear
across the continent. Tuesday ev-
ening a distinct shock of earth

active at this time. From the
shocks it would see m that
all the forces of the internal regions
were on a holiday, and bent on de
slroying as much property and as
many lives as possible The indi-
cations are that the season of earth
4uakes is not yet over. The walls
Of the Democratic Tabernacle have
not yet been shaken, and no lives
have been lost by reason of copvul-
sions in the Democratic ranks.

THE EARTHQUAKE.

ATHENS, August 20-The area
of the district which is affected by
earthquakes is phenomenaliy large,
especially rs TO width. and at least
six towns have been entirely de-
stroyes. while 5fore of others are
partially demolished. On the main
land ther. has been great damage TO
property. but comparatively little
loss of life. On the islands the
deadly effect Of the disturbances has
been most severe. and it is estimat-
ed that 600 persons have been kill
ed and upward of 1000 seriously in
jured. The undulations of the
earth were slngularly regular in
their occurrence, and the actual
shocks averaged twelve seconds
each 10 duration. The inhabitants
everywhere in the disturbed
distr j cts have abandon d
their houses still standing. and are
all camping out in the fields. The
breaking of the telegraph wires By
the uphesvals has made it almost
impossible to obtain details, and it
is believed the reports already re
ceived under estimate the damage
and loss of life.
The Greek Cabinet is IN continu.
ous session, and a transport with
tents, food, physicians, medicines
and a company of pomp;ers started
for the stricken districts Saturday
evening.

The Ticket,

The Democracy of Hooking
county, at the primary election
last Saturday, nominated one oi
the strongest tickets it has had
for years. The nominees are all
men known for their honesty,
their capability and their fidelity
to party.
W. n. Bowen, as Auditor, John
Notestone, as Treasurer, and Hen.
ry Trimmer, as Commissioner
have filed the several Offices to
which they have again been re-
nominated, with distinguished
ability.
David NJ. O'Hare, for Record
er. and Phillip Hensel, for mfr.
mary Director. are men every
way worthy and competent TO
fill the offices for which they have
been named.
The candidates were all good
men. Bowen and Notestone, OF
course, had no opposition, and 1t
should be a matter of congratu-
lation with the nominees that the
victory was won over such able
and worthy opponents.
1t was fair and honest contest
and the defeated candidates, re-
cognizing that fact, all accept the
result like men and true Demo
Gratis. The ticket meets with lie
endol sement of the party. Every
man on the ticket is known to be
honest and competent for the of
flee, and will be elected by good
old time majoriiies.

It was an Earthquake.

We have made mention in another
column that the shock of an earthquake
was felt in this city at half past nine
o'clock Tuesday evening. Wednesday S
| daily papers are full of reports from al
sections of the country regarding it. So
general has been the shaking up, that
it has been called the American earth
quake.
Reports have been received from
many points in the South /; from St.
Louis on the West Chicago on the
North, and New York on the East.
In the cities where the buildings were
large, heavy and tall, much
alarm was manifest among the people,
and at several theatres there was mar
row escape from a panic.
The disturbances seem to be general

OF iniquity take husbands sons, brothers
and fathers. and change them into all that
is bestial and low. Yet, these places have
license to do this work. Christian men
elect the officials who give these human
vampires the power to do this deadly work.
Some times the names of church members
are found upon the application for license.
The men who give the license share with
the rumseller in his guilt. The men who
elect the officials who grant the license,
also share in his guilt. We cannot excuse
ourselves by saying ''Am | my brothers
keeper?" BY night and by day all over
this broad land. with here and there a rare
exception like an oasis in the desert, this
work of death goes on. Is it not time to
call halt? God has a controversy with
this nation. For moment think Of the
awful character of tEis traffic. It takes
man made in the image OF God and de
grades him, posons his body, cnfccblcs
his mind and destroys his soul. It ruins
him in body, mind and estate. It stops
not there. It follows him beyond the
grave and bars against him the gates of
