DON'T Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time in
experimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems
at first, only a cold. Do not permit any
dealer to impose upon you with some
cheap imitation of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, but be sure you get the gen.
uine. Because he can make more profit
he may tell you he has something just
as good, or just the same. Don't be
deceived, but insist upon getting DIR.

Hon. j.. A. Murphy having taken
occasion in his address to the Republi-
can Club of River Falls, on Monday
evening last, to speak somewhat dis
paragingly of L. q. Richmond. chair
man of the Prohibition State Central
Committee, as disappointed and dis
gruntled Oflice-seeker who failed to
secure denomination at the hands of
the Republican convention of Green
county, Wis, some years ago, and 50
became an unwise but witty leader
of the Prohibition party Of the State
of Wisconsin, we desire to certify the
Hon. gentleman that he has been
misinformed, and that his statement
is both misleading as well as unjust to
Mr.. X.
The facts are that Mr.. Richmond
was County superintendent of Green
county some ten or more years ago;
that at that time the fiat money
craze struck the southern counties of
Wisconsin so hard as to seriously
alarm the leaders of the Grand Old
Party" that Mr.. Richmond took the
stump against that financial fooleTy
with such distinguished ability as
literally TO stay it in that region, as
well also as TO win for himself that
reputation as an able orator and
logical debater which makes him so
dangerous an antagonist to all am
bilious young statesmen of the present
day who delight to attack the Pro
hibitiOn moYement,-nOt one of whom
dare meet I. g. Richmond in public
debate.
The leading Republicans at the time
referred to, as we'll as the local press
of that section, applauded the efforts
and ability of Mr.. r., and people spoke
freely of him as a young gentleman
whom they would delight to secure
for and honor with a nomination to
Congress, and if he had stayed by
the stuff more unlikely things have
occurred than that L. G. Richmond
would have occupied the seat in the
House of Representatives that has
been held by Mr.. La Toilette.
The sterling Temperance principles
of Mr.. Richmond caused him to with
draw from the Republican party be-
cause of its debaSing subservlency TO
1.-The saloon,' to the commonly eX-
pressed regret of the best men among
his former political associates.
The allegation that Il. G. Richmond
soured on the q. o. L. because he was
not nominated to an Office that paid
some $3.50 per annum is too funny for
anything, when Public Schools of the
highest grade in that region were
bidding for his distinguished services
as Principal at twice that amount.
We trust that Mr.. Murphy. who took
pains to impress his audience on Mon
day night with his own judicial fair
ness and moral integrity, will in any
future address refrain from such i'm
putatioDs upon Mr.. r., whose personal
character in every way is equal to his
own.
ANY persons who may be curious
enough to ascertain anything further
anent L. C. Richmond, may inquire
of Rev. James Evans, pastor of the
Methodist church at River Falls, who
has personally known him for several
years and who furnished us most OF
the facts above written.
About the only slur that will stick
on Mr.. Richmond is that his hair IS
long and red, and that in the excite
ment of speaking a lock thereof some
times falls down his face. IF that be
treason, make the most of it.

Conversational Convention

The following synopsis of the pro-
ceedings of the Republican Congress
sional Convention held at Menomonie
ON the Dist we clip from the Milwau-
kee Sentinel:
The Eighth District Republican con-
vention was called to order at the
court house at l o'clock by J. G. Tick
nor, of Dunn. in the absence of the
Hon. NJ. Griffin. chairman of the Dist.
committee, who was elected a dele
gate from Eau Claire, but had been
called away on business. Mayor
Shaw, another of the Eau Claire dele
cation, was also unavoidably absent.
The Hon. Alexander Meggett, of Eau
Claire, was chosen chairman and Hen
ry Burdick. of Polk, secretary, the or
ganization being made permanent.
The committee on credentials reported
all the counties represented, seventy
delegates being present.
Chairman Meggett then addressed
the convention briefly, but with great
yivaeity. He said Eau Claire, owing
to the defeat by the present honorable
member of congress of her candidate
for the nomination in the last cOnYen-
ton, had been very balky, but had
been won over to Hagen by his de-
votion to duty, his fairness to all sec
tions of the Dist. and his generous
confidence in Eau Claire. DR.. Ed
ward Ballard, of Pierce Co., then pre-
scented the name of the Hon. Nils =.
Haugen for denomination. I. o..
Jones, of Eau Claire, moved that Mr..
Haugen be declared the unanimous
nominee by reclamation, which was
warmly seconded by Judge Hough, of
st. Croix. A. I'll. DeGraff, of Buffalo,
F. III. Allen, of Jackson and Henry
Burdick. of Polk. All the speakers
referred in terms of praise to the tar
if speech of Mr. Haugen in the house.
The chair then put the motion
which was carried amid prolonged APP
plause and Mr.. Haugen was declared
the nominee.
The Hon. j. L. Linderman, of Trem-
peleau. was elected chairman of the
Dist. committee and, on motion,
chairman Meggett appointed the re-
mainder of the committee as follows:
Barron. n. NJ. Rookman; Bayfield,, E.
r. Baroger: Burnett, j. G.. Johnsoni
Buffalo. A. H. DETROIT; Clark, f. ID.

son.
Judge Hough presented the follow
ing resolutions. which were adopted:
"Resolved, That this convention cor
daily endorses the Republican Nation
al platform and the Republican nomi-
nees for president and vice president.
''Resolyed, That we recognize the
ability, worth and industry of the
Hon. Nils z. Haugen and cordially
recommend him to the suffrages of
the people of this Dist.
"Resolved, That the invincible
Eighth promises an increased Repub-
lican majority on the 9th of Noyem-
Der next "
The further basis of representation
was by resolution made one delegate
for 800 Republican votes or major frac.
ton cast at the preceding gubernator-
ial election.

"a Reasonable Kick.o

Last Sunday, after eating my dinner and
having enjoyed the fragrant weed for a
while, | settled myself for post prandial
nap. suppose l must have slept some
time, when l was awakened by what seemed
to me in my suddenly aroused condition to
be either an earthquake or a railway collision
L found however it was only the festive
water tiend going his four o'clock rounds
with his truck. and that the latter was max
ing the unearthly noise that awOke me-
Now am no kicker by nature, but | have
been waiting long time for some of your
able correspondents 10 bring this grievance
to the notice of the powers that be and as
no one has as yet come to the front | must
unload myself. 1t will put the state to verv
little expense to get sets of wheels for these
trucks with rubber tires, such as are ALWAYS
used in hotels for baggage trucks; they are
almost noiseless and sold in all sizes
The night guards are cOnsiderate enough to
wear "creeps" so as not to disturb our
slumbers. but to me the Sunday nap is lust
as sweet as my nightly rest, and | would
tam have the truck wheels muzzled as we'll
as the night guards pedal eXtremities. Life
Is short enough anyhow and gray hairs will
come to many of US before our time. but
there is no reason that they should be ac-
celebrated by such cause as that against
which am now kicking. Candidates for
st. Peter and Rochester mature here soon
enough without needing any additional i'm

proper authorities in the right spot, / am

VILLAGES OF RUSSIA.
The DeplOrable Condition Of Sixty Mill
ions of Ignorant Peasants.

The idea of 60. 900. 900 of people being
constantly upon the verge of starva-
ton is a startling one, yet there does not
seem 10 be any reason to doubt the truth of
the authors statement. The peasants are
frightfu.Iy ignorant, and their mfrs make
them. to certain extent, selfish. These
Mrs are village governments, each one in
dependent of the other and each peasant.
while bound for life to his mir, has no ties
connecting him with any other village. Nor
have the Mrs any connecting links. TO all
intents and purposes the mfrs in Russia are
independent states. with nothing in COM
mon but the government tax gatherer. 1t is
this fact that has been the safety of the
Russian autOcracy, for were concerted
movement to come the general government
OF the country would 20 down before it
as would pile of sand before a breaking
dam. In fact, the authority OF the Car
to- day rests upon two things-the gnO-
rance OF the peaSantry and their lack of
organization.
1t is a question. however, of great inter-
est how long this state OF things will last
IT, as Stephniak says, the majority of these
peasants are in want all the time, if they
absolutely have not enough to eat for the
larger part of the year, time will come
when they will move. They may be ignO-
rant. but no man, is so ignorant that
he can not tell the difference between
hunger and repletion. When the misery
becomes widespread enough, when the
tooth of starvation presses down hard
enough. something will happen. The his
tory of the world has shown often that
under certain conditions in society spark
is only needed to set fire to the train. 1t
might begin in Russia with knocking down
tax gatherer And when it does begin
the result will be fearful. The atrocities
of the French revolution would cease to be
talked OF, for those in Russia will cast them
into the shade. AS the Russian Cars and
nobility have sOwn so shall they reap. OF
course there will be great wrongs done; of
course the persons who have brought it about
will escape for in the vengeance of races
the innocent suffer for the guilty. The sins
of the fathers will be visited upon the chill
dren. And who shall say, when those sins
are considered. that this will be unjust?-

inconsistency as DR.. Crosby does when he objects
to reading Sunday paper(on the day it is issued)

of the penal treatment of crime, after it had be-
come a fixed habit in the criminal.
1t is difficult to believe that men and women of
talent. culture and experience can be such arrant
imbecles and fools, as not to know that the ever
present dramshop is the cause Of the ever present

M'MINNvILLE NOT ON A BOOM.

While McMinnville is not on
boom, in the usual meaning of the
term, it is very perceptable that there
is substantial improvements going on
in and around the town which, if
continued at the present rate for
few years, will make McMinnville
one of the prettiest and most pros
porous inland towns in the State.
Business has improved and real es-
tate advanced slowly but surely.
Many new buildings have been built
during the last and present year, and
others of substantial character are
now, and soon will be under contract.
These public and private improve
ment will enhance the property in
terests of the town and vicinity. The
merchants and business men of
McMinnville stand well at home and
abroad. Most, in fact nearly all, pay
cash for their goods. Financially,
socially,,and morally, no other town
of its size rates better.
Our banks are well Differed, and
so well managed as to give the fullest
confidence to stockholders and pa
irons. They are owned and con-
Quoted by trustworthy gentlemen.
last, but not least in importance
are our schools, under the Superin-
tendency Of Prof. Bell and a compe-
tent corps ofteachers, are a success.
Cumberland Female College, one of
the best schools for young ladies in
the country, under the management
Of Profs. Finney & Paschal, is be-
coming deservedly popular.
If the contemplated new buildings
and Improvements are made during
the present year, it will stand second
to no other female school, in the State,
all things considered.
McMinnville is not on a boom, but
enjoys substantial, healthy growth
and prosperity, such as will make it
a pleasant home for those who are
contented with good health and mod
crate gains. ....
