HOLD TIE WIFE AT.

JAMETowN, Dak.. Sep. An
agent for one of the elevator comp.
anles at this place this week stated
that the price of wheat is now COIL
tr"lled by the Minneapolis millers,
and that the elevator companies are
powcrless to raise or lower it. This
statement seems to give color to the
already prevalent belief that the
elevators and mills are in collusion
to keep down the price. The latter
do not propose. any more than they
have in the past, to pay the farmer
what his wheat is worth. They
are also endeavoring to shift the
blame for not doing so on to the
milIers' association. This is un-
doubtedly SO, and farmers will do
we'll to hold their grain for sixty
days 1T least, and await develope.
ments. There is considerable good
wheat in this country, and consider
able that is away off in grade, and
the fear is daily expressed that these
wheat-buying corporations will
take advantage of this t. degrade
the good wheat, and class it all re-
jected OF some other grade below
No. hard. With this fear in view
the farmers have been repeatedly
advised to separate the good grain
from the bad, thresh it separately
and sell it separately-and by SAM
pie if possible. AS is always the
case with early frosts, the damage
was done in spots, and if farmers
considered this fact they could, by a
little extra labor and judiclous care,
obtain several points higher grade
for good deal of their grain. In
stances are coming to light where

Editor Adams OF the Fergus
Journal attending the Republican
state convention, at St. Paul, the
other day said, on his return home:
If there has ever been any doubt
about how Minnesota stands on the
tariff question it was dispellel when
the tariff plank was read to the con-
vention last Thursday. The con-
vcntion rose as one man and such 4
shout have never heard save on a
similar occasion at Chicago.
And now as Il matter of fact the
tariff plank in the Minnesota Re-
publican platform is little else than
the sort of IDEAS advanced by Plesi.
dent Cleveland on this subject, all
of which shows conclusively that
the Minnesota Republicans have to
violate their national platform and
repudiate their great national po-
litical fraud, James G. Blaine, in
this action. 1t is nothing short of
an acknowledgement that the presi-
dent is right and should be honored
with II second term and that f.. NJ.

administration, should he elected
over such man us Mr.. Merriam
with nothing on earth to recommend
him but his money, and a man not
having the first qualification Tor

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN.

Mrs. Theo. Reiter last week
picked up a bottle from the Red
river containing this note:
The finder of this will know that
l have committed suicide, John r.
Soles, in the Red river.
Mrs. Reiter said that one could
not tell from the appearance of the
bottle how long it had been in the
water. but not, probably, a great
while. Parties about the river at
different points might be on the
lookout for the body. Or if anyone
can explain the mystery we should,
now, like to publish the same.

A Capital Joke Upon -Four Well.
Known Men.

When the Rev. Samuel j. May was
a young man, Just out Of college, he
made trip to the White Mountains.
in company with George b. Emerson,
Caleb Cushing, William Ware and
two or three others. The party we're
all rather shabbily dressed, and as
two OF them carried guns and another
large-trayeling barometer, they
presented a rather formidable ap-
pearance-so much so that the in
habitants Of one small hamlet fed al
their approach.
At another place the travellers came
to very secluded, neat little house,
about which were signs Of a large
dairy. Accordingly the conmissary
general OF the company raped at the
door and inquired if they could have
some refreshments, and added that
bread and milk would be all they
should ask for.
The woman of the house, seeing
half dozen highwaymen at her gate,
was naturally somewhat frustrated
and could only stammer, "Oh yes,
sir Come in; you can have that"
The six hungry tourists promptly
accepted her invitation. Mr.. MAY
says they "took possession OF her
largest room," and il is safe to pre-
sumo that they pretty nearly filed it.
She brought in six bowls OF delicious
milk, with bread OF a like quality.
The bowls were quickly emptied. BY
this time tie the housekeeper had |
partially recovered from her fright,
and as she burst into laugh and ex-
claimed:
" Young gentlemen, should think |
you had never been weanedl"
The unweaned highwaymen en-
joyed the joke--and the bread and
milk-so much that they paid the
good woman three times her price,
Youths Companion.
