The Deostrilk Skewl.

The entertainment given at the Opera
House last Tuesday evening representing
the Deestrik Skewl of 50 years ago, proved
to be the drawing event of the season.
Everybody seemed bent on seeing our
grave and dignifed seniors in the role Of
school children. and they turned out en-.
masse completely filling the hall. The
entertainment as arranged by Mrs. Black
was simply presentation some what ex-
aggerated in many points, of the school
Of our fathers. And the fathers and
mothers themselves took the part of pdpils
in jest which they had filed in earnest
years ago. Attired in the garments o!
child hood and exhibiting the mistakes

elderly scholars gave an entertainment
that was decidedly entertaining. We
have an idea that such entertainments
are not calculated to improve the pupl
of the present generation. He is very
much inclined to devote the principal par
of his school life to mischief. and observ
ing his elders taking part in this mischief
is liable to add to Its Responsibility If no
to its charms for the young scape grace
BY request the 'fSkewl" was repeated OF

FARMERS ALLIANCE

At the regular meeting Of the Grand Mea-
dow Farmers Alliance, the following reso!u-
tons were adopted:
RESOLVED; That this Alliance protests
against the election of VIM. D. Washburn,
who is q railroad president, to the q. s. Sem
ate. He is man without any sympathy with
the people, and his course in being member
of the Millers Ring to plunder the farmers
by brass kettles, false grades and weights of
wheat, and in creating 100000 of watered
law, prove him to be unworthy Of the support
of the people.
RESOLVED; That the fact that the Railroad
Companies of the U. S. are now uniting to
form great trust to prevent competition,
ana rob the people, contrary to the Inter.
state Commerce Act, which forbins the "pool-
ing" of railroad earnings; while the railroads
of this state haye organized their employees
in new party OF their own to control legis-
larion and crush out those who will not serve
them, demands that no railroad President,
Attorney, or lobbyist, be sent to the United
States Senate from Minnesota.
RESOLVED; That the defeat of the Hon.
Ignat1us DonnelIy for reelection TO the House
by the money of the Railroad Companies, be-
cause he has faithfully stood by the people.
should be rebuked by his election to the
United States Senate; and we ask our Senator
and Representatives. to vote for him rs an
able honest man, who, in the coming great
struggle of the people against the corpora
tions, would do mis- duty and represent the
state with power and ability.
! RESOLVED: That we call upon the Farmers
throughout the state, where they have no
Farmers Alliances to organize Them at once,
for we have proof tnat it is the intention of
the Railroad Companies to repeal at the com.
ing session Of the Legislature, all the laws for
the protection of the people. heretofore Sc
cured by the Alliance, or to so amend them
as to render them of no value.
RESOLVED; That all Alliances throughout
the state are requested to cooperate with US
in carrying out the above resolutions.

The symptoms of BiliouSnesS are unhap-

different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man Is seldom u breakfast eater.

furred, it is rough, mt NIL events.
The dgesti q system is wholly ont of or

ars often Hemorhoids or even loss of blood,
There may be giddiness and often headache
