The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1888-10-18

DONNELLY WITHDRAWN.
The COMMITTEES Of the Law and Labor
party announced on the 18th that the
state ticket. headed by Donnelly, was
withdrawn from the field. The reasons
given are good ones. viz: that they
have no funds to carry on q campaign;
that they have no local organizations
in many counties to work through, and
that they wish to concentrate what
they can upon members OF the Legisla-
ture. -
This Is as it should be. The editor
of the ADVANCE told the friends of the
movement, when Mr.. Donnelly was
here. that he ought not to be running
for Governor; that his place was in the
Legislature aud in Congress, and that
his chances of going to the. United
States Senate were growing constantly.
Donnelly belongs in Congress. He has
done more than any man in the west to
secure legislation in favor Of the labor
ing classes and limiting the power of
corporations and monopolies.
ANoTHRR EXCURSION sLA o UTTER.
The recent railroad wholesale muir.
der on the Lehigh Valley road At Mud
Run, near Penn Haven, Pa, is another
excursion horror. The Devil, or who.
ever Or whatever it is, that presides
over calamities and slaughters of this
kind, has a special love for wreakinR
his or its awful mallgnitv upon excurs-
ions. This was an excursion which
brought out hundreds of women and
children, and trains were run in sec.
tions. Exactly so it was in the Chats
worth massacre. So, a few years ago. it
was al excursion down the Detroit riv-
or, a; Catholic school with hundreds of
innocent children on board. A coils.
sioD was provided for the excursion,
timed and planned with tho very fatal.
ity and ingenuity of a personal and
powerful Fiend or Devil apparently.
and the poor girls and boys were
drowned by the hundred.
Who is to blamep Well, there is al.
ways drunken, or reckless, or careless
engineer, or something of the kind to
lay it to. Or it is q mercenary railroad
company. or steamboat line, or some.
thing of that kind, or it is all of them
together.
What We seem to need is the prompt
arrest of all the parties in charge OF the
trains or boats, and a thorough inves-
tigation. If railroad men were held
crlminally responsible for sucl, coils.
sions as this Mud Run horror. there
would be some hope for the public.
The Worthington ADVANCE of the
4th inst. quoted daxseed at $1.23.
This is owing to the Burlington road
running TO that place. Flax always
brings from S to 10 cents more a bushel
at that place than at any market north
OF there. Who says a north and south
railroad will not make US better mar
kets.-.Currie Pioeeer.
And this week fax brought, at one
time. $l.4o. A few years ago Worth
ington paid 10 10 Is cents more for flax
than any of the surrounding towns,
and drew the flax of the neighboring
counties to Worthington. This was
due to the better rates obtained
from the Burlington road. A good
deal of this advantage remains. An.
other road would help Worthington
still more, but it is necessity to Cur.
rie and some points north Of US.
The Mills Hand Bill is endeavoring
to show that the ADVANCE has over
charged for county printing. This on
~ shows how reckless and desperate
the man is. There isn't man, woman
or Child in the county that ever heard
of county printing that doesn't know
1T is just the reverse. It has been the
common talk for years that the ''AD-
VANCE was saving the county hum
dreds Of dollars by its bids on print.
ing." We have for years done the
county printing at from nothing to
half rates: One year only, in 1882, did
we get full rates.
Mills is desperate: The very politi-
cal earth beneath him has given way,
and he is catching at every twig and
straw as he goes down.
Ague cannot b. permanently cured
until the system has been thoroughly

| and other febrifuges, will check it tenn
porarily but it is sure to return unless
the system has been cleansed. For this
purpose there is nothing better than st..
Patrick's Pills. They not only physic,
but thoroughly cleanse the entire sys-
tenn and will, in most cases, prevent
! ague and like malarial diseases if used
IA soon as the first symptoms appear.

Mills says in his Hand Bill, that "a
bill for A. P. Miller, for publishing a
court calendar, 20 pages, was allowed
ut $780," and lit was a job which would
have paid 100 per cent profit at So
This is intended as dig at the coun.
ty commissioners.
Think Of it'll printers aud publishers!
A 2O-page book, 10 pages Of it set in
| NOnpariel, with cover, bound in neat
pamphlet style, for IS! This is fair
sample of Mills reckless and desperate
statements. Every printer knows that
no cheap, half-journeyman, tramp
printer. would even do the bare work
on it for SIS.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
| Diarrhoea Remedy was used with the
greatest success during our epidemic of
Bloody Flux. lido not know of case
that was lost where this Remedy was
used. Que of my friends, about six
miles from here, had child that was
given up by the two doctors who at
tended it; he then used Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and the child recovered. All who have
used it speak Of it in the highest terms.
Wishing you abundant success for the
good you are doing, am. Very Truly
