a pile of oats and a miscella-
neouS lot of barrels, boxes
and rubbish, they found a couple
pairs of new boots, with the manu-
facturer's brand scraped off: also a set
of new dishes and a plush cloak. Down
stairs, in the woman'S trunk, they
found lot of valuable jewelry and
other stolen goods. They also obtained
lot of letters in the woman's posses
sion, which may lead to sensational de-
velopmentS One of the letters secured
by the officers was written by the
woman after the search began. She
was seen to place it i'll the pocket OF a
dress that she had laid out to wear.
When opportunity offered this letter

ABERDEEN, July 27.-The question of
how the Farmers alliance will support
MIR. Harden in the congressional cam
paign seems TO be settled, judging from
the stand taken editorially to-day by the
Ruralist, the official organ of the organ
.lZation. Commenting upon an editorial
III arecent number of the Aberdeen
News, in which the alliance is warned
that it stands upon dangerous ground"
because the nomination of Mr.. Harden
by the Democracy, the Ruralist, after re-
viewing the record OF the News as a
farmers friend' and severely question
ing it's right to pose as an adviser of
the alliance, winds up in the following
strain:
Unless you want to live in a Democratic
territory you will please advise your party
through your press that the voice and the
vote OF the farmer is going to be factor in
this campaign. You can no longer ignore
their demands. The crack of the partisan
whip has lost its snapper. If you want our
votes on partisan lines you must adopt our
principles iii your platform. You must do
as the Democrats have done: nominate man
IN whom we have confidence; one who, by
his past record and affiliations has proven
himself to be superior to professions and
platforms. Cut adrift from the usurers and
railroad attorneys, who now seem to dom
mate in your councils and dictate your nom-
nations.
The Ruralist certainly voices the SEN
timent of the majority of Dakota farm
ers who fail to see why they should
abandon the policy upon which the Or
ganization long since settled-that of
voting for men in whom they have con-
fidence and whom they know to be in
sympathy with the alliance movement
simply because the candidate happens
to be Democrat and the nominee of
the Democratic party. 1t took the Re-
publican party a long while to realize
that the cOlored slave vote was not eter-
nally pledged to an empty name, and
the grand old pretender will evidently
wake up to the fact in the coming cam
paign that the farmer element in Da-
kota, so long pronounced "solid'' by
party managers and accordingly ig-
nOred, is awakening to a sense of its
rights and disposed to vote for its inter
ests, regardless of past affiliations.

WOONsoCKET, July 27.-The Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike rejoice at
the success of Prof. Harden, of Jerauld
county, in securing the nomination of
his party as delegate in congress. Prof.
Harden is very able man, an eloquent
speaker and, while he is no free trader,
is strictly believer in tariff reduction,
and like the alliance advocates putting
on the free list every article upon
which there is trust or combi-
nation. This is one of the points
very strongly advocated by the farmers
of Dakota, and we understand it is one
of the planks of the alliance platform.
Mr.. Harden will hold the whole of the
Democratic vote and will draw very
strong vote from the Republicans
among the alliance men. Your CORE
spondent, in an interview with one of
the leaders of the alliance a few days
since, learned that it was not the inten-
ton of the alliance to call a convention,
or to take any steps to publicly
INDORSE MIR. HARDEN,

leaders would openly support him, and
in fact, If necessary, would take the
stump as citizens and work for his cleo
ton.

BELoIT, Wis.,, July 27.-The attack
made on Mayor Winans in last nights
Milwaukee Sentinel by the German
editors of Wisconsin is mystery to
Winans. In the Journal interviews the
Germans expressed themselves almost
unanimously as being opposed to Wi
mans as the Democratic candidate for
governor because of his temperance
record. The IL o'clock closing question
stands in the way of many. 1T had pre-
viously been supposed that WinanS had
a mortgage on the nomination. In an
interview to-day WinanS expressed sur
prise at the attitude of the Germans.
He cannot understand their opposition.
During the interview Winans said he
was not a candidate and did not desire
the nomination, therefore the charges
were of little account. In reply to
query as to whether he would accept
the unanimous nomination, he declined
to answer directly, but the inference
was that he undoubtedly would. He is
considered the strongest Democratic
candidate in Wisconsin, because he
succeeded in the contest for congress i'll
this district, which is Overwhelmingly
Republican.

electricity, and all the modern improve
mentS added.
The building is 300 feet long and so
feet wide, a commanding tower rising
from the center, from which good
view of the eastern part of the city can
be obtained. The baggage and express
rooms occupy sufficient space in the
north and south ends, while in the cen
ter are found the spacious and pleasant

The building is credit to the West.

Allamakee, of small grain. A large
per cent of the land is covered with
waving fields of oats just assuming a
yellow tinge, indicating that harvest
time is nigh. 1t has been estimated
that the average yield of this cereal will
not be less than forty-fve bushels to
the acre. In some localities the yellow
rust has badly damaged the straw, but
has not materially affected the grain.
Potatoes are yielding in abundance;
corn is growing rapidly. and has already
commenced caring. The weather con-
tinues favorable, and farmers are
throwing away thousands of tons of hay.
