Will Bust the Combination
AS soon as it became known
that the form of robbery adopted
by the elevators this year, was
to grade the wheat down, the
Times advocated the method of
shipping wheat direct to the mar
ket independent of the elevators,
and we are glad to see that this
method is being quite generally
adopted and we have yet to learn
OF a case where the shipper has.
not profted by the transaction.
Not only is this the case in this
county, but our neighbors to
the north of us in both Marshall
and Kittson counties seem to
be catching on, as witness the
following from the Stephen Lead
er:
Mr.. J. E. Herman, formerly from
Northcote but more lately of
Crookston, dropped in upon the
Stephen wheat market this week
like a wolf on the fold and has
ruffled the equanimity OF our
wheat buyers somewhat. He
buys wheat on the track without
handling through an elevator
and ii the statements of the ele-
vator men are true, he is Offering
from five to fifteen cents per
bushel more than they can pay.
Mr.. Herman ships wheat to com
mission firms at Duluth and
Minneapolis, and of course can
not afford to pay more than the
elevator can, consequently one
or two things must be true viz.
either he will lose money or our
buyers have been making a profit
which might mildly be termed
robbery. Mr.. Herman has been
buying wheat in this way for
years at Northcote and with a
partner at Crookston is now buy
ing at several places. The Lead
er does not believe in an un-
qualified condemnation of the
elevators, but it looks as if the
combination this year was set
upon numbers intended to make
their losses of last year together
with profit they wish to make
last season and this. Any buyer
who will give our producers what
their wheat is WORTH reserving
simply a fair profit will be re-
ceived with a warm welcome by
everyone with the possible excep-
tion of the elevator men.
Relative to the above the Hal

farmers around Hallock saw

there aids them in getting better
prices, and some wonderful Jumps
in prices have been known the
past few weeks in the Hallock mar
ket. There is something wrong
about the elevator system this
year, and if track buying will bust
the combination, it's great pity
ltwas not started long ago.

ence of thirteen cents q bushel. But
the Chicago price was &c., and
Murray County has the Chi, Mil

modest difference Of % cents! Now
wheat is carried from Chicago to New
York, 1000 miles, for 13c. a bushel
1t is just one-half the distance from
Murray County to Chicago and it
costs 23c. to get wheat there! In
other words, the Minnesota farmer
pays four times as much freight as
the Chicago gambler. The Minneso-
ia road is a poor, one-horse, inexpen-
sive affair, barely one-track! The
Chicago-New York lines are magnifi-

By the way, the best name we

St. Paul Globe:
Men We Meet.

Ignatius Donnelly, looking as
youthful as ever, dropped into the
Merchants yesterday afternoon, and
shook hands with old friends and ac-
quaintances. The Sage is delivering
a series of lectures this year in all the
principal towns and cities of the
Northwest, and is meeting with
crowded houses everywhere. The
Sage is still, however, haunted with
the idea that he will again be able to
creep into politics through the
Farmers Alliance, which he is now
carefully nursing and reOrganizing,
aided by DR.. E. w. Fish, j Ohm Allison,
President Sprague and others equal
ly prominent in the movement.
''Donnelly is down on me-" said a
prominent Republican member of the
upper house of the last legislature in
a casual conversation with several
prominent politicians day or two
ago, because 1 did not support him
for the senate last winter, and, am
told that he prepared last winter a
lengthy address denOuncing me,
which he tried to have printed and
circulated among the members OF the
alliance. l am an alliance man, but
in the fight last winter l was for
Sabin rather than either Donnelly or
Washburn, and I wasn't afraid of
Donnelly or his threats. The farmers
up my way are tired of Mr.. Donnelly
and he might as well call down his
organ and give us rest.'
"Up my way" must be in heaven.
Everywhere else the farmers are cry
ing for more Donnellys. However, if
a member of the late legislature gets
into the heavenly neighborhood it
must be poor region for farming.

LESS THAN $15O,OOO

All AlIegheny's Lights.
WESTINGHOUSE TO GET THE JOB,
And the City to Shine Under the Detroit
Skeleton Towers.
AN IMPORTANT NORTHsIDE CONTRACT

The Allegheny Councils Gas Committee
last night recommended the awarding of
the contract for the purchase of an electric
light plant for lighting the city to the
Westinghouse Electric Light Company for
Sal, 15S.
The committee reported the following
bids:
Westinghouse Company, for the plant with
Detroit towers. Sl4l. .l5S with indianapolis Jen-
ney towers. SlS6 l5S Fort Wayne and Indianapo-
lis Jenney Companies, with the Star iron tower,
Sl40, ,l95. Brush Electric Company, with Detroit
Company tower, Phoenix plant, Sl60.90l So;
Westinghouse plant, Sl59,96 So; Buckeye plant
Sl56,lOl 50: Mcintosh & Seymour plant, $780,
$50 IS; Ball plant, sl59,966 SS.
In addition the Westinghouse Company
stated that they would include the Star
Iron Company tower or any other tower
instead of those mentioned if it was so de-
sired.
Mr.. Miller offered resolution providing
for the adoption of the report of the SUBJ
committee, the approval of the bid of
the Westinghouse Company at S141, ,15S,
with Detroit Company towers, and the
Recommendation of the same to Councils.
AT this iuncture the agents of the Detroit
Tower Company and the Star Iron Tower
Company engaged in a dispute as 10 the
merits OF their towers.
Mr.. Stefin next moved that Mr.. Miller's
resolution be amended by substituting the
Star Iron Company's tower for the Detroit
Company's tower, in the awarding Of the
contract to the Westinghouse Company.
Mr.. Lindsay further amended by having
bond of indemnity filed, and Mr.. Kennedy
added that q special bond be required in the
matter OF towers.
Upon motion of Mr.. Kennedy the
O'Bierne mast-arm was adopted; also the
Westinghouse compound engine, and an ar
rangement that for three years from the date
of contract the company will furnish ad-
ditional material at the prices in their bid.
The original resolution was then adopted
as amended without discussion. The con-
tract is for a plant, including 50 towers,
with 216 arc lights, 100 mast irons, with one
light each, and 2,130 incandescent lights. |
Fifteen of the towers will be 125 feet high |
and 81 will be $50 feet nigh.
The only other business disposed of was |
the indefinite postponement of the or
dinances granting the Brilliant and Meri- |
dian Electric Light Companies the right to |
erect poles in the city for the purpose of |
supplying citizens without light. This ac-
tion was taken on motion of Mr.. Kennedy |
without discussion.

From Nearby Towns.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcHi
JoHNsTowN, September 5.-Captain
Hamilton has received orders from Gov
ernor Beaver to 90 ahead and employ as
many men as necessary in clearing up the
town as fast as the Board OF Health make
condemnations. DR.. Lee, of the Board, has
not yet returned, but as be was known to be
favorable to pushing the work, it is believed
now that the intention is to put the whole
town in good sanitary condition. Just
what the arrangements are is not known,
but it is presumed that the Governor has
made some arrangements to get the money.
In accordance with the directions from Gov
ernor Beaver to push the wotk Of cleaning up
the town, Captain Hamilton to-day hired every
man he could find that wanted work. There
will be no trouble in getting teams, but there
is scarcity of laborers, and it is likely that
considerable number will have to be engaged
elsewhere if a large force is to be put on. As a
consequence OF the movement to push along
the work there is much activity to-day, and
everybody feels that about the proper thing
has been done, although it would have been
better to have hurried the work more months
ago.
At meeting of the Cambria County Bar AS
sociation yesterday expressive resolutions were
adopted regarding the death of three of the
members who were drowned in the flood. The
members of the Board of Health at last admit
that there is great deal of sickness prevailing
here now Malarial and.typhoid fevers seem
to be the worst diseases although great many
people are suffering from nervous prostration.
A member of the Board of Health to-day said
that the present hot weather greatly aggra-
waited the diseases. The present indications
are that the death rate among the flood
sufferers will be large.
Most of the vagrants that are picked up now
are given about 80 days on the street, and to-
day there were % at work under guard.

He was with Spencer when he was shot.
The others all fed and no arrests have vet

on the affair. So far nothing has been heard
