FERGUS FALLS, Sept. 30.-The most
affecting incident of the local Repub-
lican campaign to date is the issue of an
appeal to farmers to contribute 81 apiece
toward sending Republican speakers
out to instruct them, and for the other
necessary" expenses of the campaign.
This pathetic appeal was printed yester-
day in the local Republican organ, and,
it is understood, will be sent in the
form of a circular throughout Otter
Tail county. The appeal rehearses
the somewhat well-worn chest
nut about 100000 having been
received by the Democrats from the
national committee, and says something
has got to be done to counterfeit the eff
feet of this money. 1t hurriedly adds
that there is no question about the Re-
publicans carrying the county, "but."
it says, ''we want to carry 1t by one of
the old-time majorities that we have
given Nelson and Blaine" So it invites
every farmer to send in his dollar to
help pay for torchlights and Republican
speakers. The county managers have
two ideas in view in sending out this
cry for help. In the first place, the local
nominees are 10th to go any deeper into
their own pockets for campaign ex-
penses than is necessary, and would be
much pleased to have the farmers help
them out. As matter of fact, what
ever funds are received will be put into
their canvass. Secondly, the managers
look to w. r. Merriam to put large
sum of money into this county to aid his
own election, but naturally it is desired
to keep that factquiet. So, ostensibly on
behalf of Merriam, this call to the farm
ers was conceived, with the belief that
it would cut two ways-emphasize to
outsiders that there is no Doodle here,
and at the same time convey to the
banker delicate hint that some would
be acceptable as soon as possible. The
spectacle of the Republicans calling
for 81 apiece from the Woodworking
farmers of this section toward the cleo
ton of Banker Merriam is one calcu-
lated to make the angels weep and Mer-
riam shell out.

THE LONGEST ON RECORD.
This Congress Sits Longer Than the
Compromise Congress.
ANOTHER LENGTHY SESSION,
Which Was Broken Into by Six
Weeks Recess---This Weeks
Business.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-When the
two houses of congress are called TO
order at 10 o'clock tomorrow, the SEES
sion will have become the longest, by
twenty-four hours, in American history.
The longest preceding session was that
of 1850, the year of the Missouri COM
promise, which was adjourned at noon
of Sept. 80. Constructiyely, the session
of 1868, following the lmpeach-
ment proceedings against Presi-
dent johnson, was longer, the adjourn
ment sine die having taken place Nov.
10, but, as a matter of fact, congress
took a six weeks recess from July q,
and never afterwards had quorum, or
attempted to transact any business.
The house of representatives has not
had quorum for several weeks, but
such business as could be done ''by
unanimous consent had been done,
and, as one of the regular annual
appropriation bills-the general de-
ficiency bills still before the
conferrees of the two houses,
it cannot yet be said that the years reg
ular work for either house is finished.
The Republican tariff bill will be re-
ported to the senate on tuesday or
Wednesday of this week, and is to be
taken up for debate on Monday of next
week. The unfinished business of the
senate is the bill to forfeit the unearned
portion of the Northern Pacific land
grant, upon which Senator Berry will
tomorrow deliver
POLITICAL SPEECH,
defending the public land record of the
Democracy in answer to the speech OF
Senator Plumb last week. 1t is expect
ed that Senator Dolph will also make
speech upon the measure, after which
it is likely to pass. The Labra award
bill is also special order for to-mor-
row. Senator Chambers resolution
looking to an investigation of polit-
ical methods in Louisiana is
likely to furnish the text for
further political speaking dur
ing the week. The territorial admis-
sion bills are still recognized as having
certain rights of way, and. next to
them, the consideration of the Sherman
trust bill is regarded as possibility.
The senate has, however, con-
sistently disregarded all programmes
for several weeks past, and moth
ing but purely political measures
can be held to be probable subjects OF
debate during the remainder of the ses-
sion. The daily sessions of the house
of representatives will probably be
short, and little business of interest is
likely to be transacted by that body
during the present week. The general
deficiency appropriation bill now in
conference, is expected to reach the
house Tuesday or Wednesday.

ESCAPED TO WASHINGTON.
The yellow Fever Taken to the
National Capital.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9O.-What was at
first thought to be a case of yellow
fever, and which may yet develop into
the dreaded disease, was found in this
city this morning at the Baltimore 81
Ohio depot. A train that arrived from
Baltimore this morning brought with it
a man about thirty years of age, who
was so ill that he could hardly
leave the car. The sick man was very
poorly dressed and was destitute of
money. His name, he said, was James
Oswald. He admitted he had come
from jacksonville. According to his
story Oswald left Jacksonville nearly a
month ago. after having been quaran-
tined for ten days, and made his way
slowly porthward. He arrived in Balti-
more Saturday night, but the authori-
ties there, he said, refused to allow
him to enter the city. Medical in
pector Stratton was summoned, but was
unable to decide exactly what the man
was suffering with and ordered him to
be taken to the work house hospital.
Oswald does not possess a certificate
from the health authorities at Jackson
vile, as most Of the refugees do, and
the authorities here are of the opinion
that he made his escape without the
knowledge of the health officers.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 30.-The pub

letter accepting the Democratic nomi-
nation for the vice presidency would be
given out tonight proves to be but one
of the numerous canards in reference

ence of other kinds to attend to, and it
is not my practice to give up essentials
for non-essentials. 1t is an unnecessary
performance anyhow, but I suppose
that custom and precedent must
be followed. When it comes
there will not be much of it, and
it will not come until the spirit
moves me-" The judges voice was de-
cidedly hoarse, but in answer to a ques-
ton he repudiated the idea that he had
suffered from standing so long in the
bleak air to review last nights process
sion. His venerable wife, on the other
hand, was inclined to be more candid.
There was no doubt, she said, that he
was suffering from last nights expos
ure, for he had severe fit of coughing
this morning, and she certainly thought
that he ought not to expose himself
any more. Referring to his contem-
plated "trip to Indiana next month, the
judge said that he looked forward to it
with some apprehension on account of
the inclement weather that was likely
to prevail. He had promised to go,
however, and he would keep his promise

Dies MONIES, To-, Sept. 90.-Yester-
day was the last week day for the legal
sale of Intoxicating liquors under the
old law. The provisions of the act
passed by the last legislature required
all permits then in existence to expire
Oct. l, and dispensed with wholesale
dealers and manufacturers entirely ex-
cept such as had permits under the old
law in Des Moines. A number of the
brewers and several wholesale dealers
have been conducting their business
under this provision of the new law
which did not cancel their permits
until Oct. 1. None of these have made
an effort to get new lease of life, and
all virtually closed out their stocks yes
terday, Judge Given having failed to
act on applications for pharmacists
permits before him during the past
week. The drug stores will be out
lawed after to-day, and can neither sell
liquor medicine nor use it for COM
pounding. and Judge Given also, tenn
porarily at least, plugged the original
package loophole in the law by prelim-
mary injunction. Consequently there
can be no liquor sold legally in Des
Moines tomorrow. By this term

and want of patriotism displayed by
New England both in war and in peace.

press the rebellion with the aggressive
loyalty of the Northwest or even with
Missouri and Kentucky.
'sln my coming speech | will discuss
the history and deeds of the Republican
party and its progenitors, the. Federal
and Wing parties, in all the troubles of
the United States with foreign powers.
| will tell how the Federal party acted
in the war of 1872, and about the peace
convention at Hartford in 1915, when
the New England states opposed the
voting of supplies to carry on the war
with England. 1t was that party that
first taught the doctrine of secession
and inculcated it from 1905 until it was
Incorporated in its successor, the Wing
party. Then l will pay little atten-
ton to the Mexican war, and show how
it was opposed by the Wings. Why the
Democratic party of New England in
both these wars saved the honor of the
country.
New England selfshly hangs on the
body polite, absorbing its wealth and
giving nothing in return. Less than
100000 of its inhabitants own half of the
bonded debt, and also the private in
debtedness of 100000 Of our popula-
ton. This is the result of class legisla-
ton fostered by protection, which was
originated and maintained by the poll
ticians of New England. 1t is fact
the country has of late decreased, while
its wealth has enormously increased;
and yet the natural home market of the
Northwest is not New England, but the
South, as can be readily proved. We
buy of New England at extortionate
prices. kept up by the tariff, while at
the same time we sell her nothing. |

Ell PAso, Texas, Sept. 3O.-The Nor
mons have recently purchased severa.
large bodies of agricultural lands i'll
Northern Chihuahua, and are under
stood to be negotiating for more. The
movement of the Mormons into Mexico
has assumed large proportions, and sew
eral flourishing colonies have already
been established in the valley of the
Casas Grande river. The recently-pub-
lished reports that the Zuni Indians
had disposed of large tracts of land to
Mormon agents, or that the Mexican
government has made them concessions
of land are, however, entirely without
foundation. The Zunis are not Mexi-
can Indians, but are located in New
Mexico, and the Mexican government,
while not opposing Mormon immigra
ton, would certainly not offer any in
ducements in the matter of grants of
land. The purchases thus far have
been from private parties only.
