Harrison County.

Graceville dispatch to the Pioneer
Press: A majority of the voters OF Big
Stone and Traverse counties have signed
petition asking the legislature to pass
an enabling act for the consolidation OF
the two counties. The movement was
brought about by farmers near the divid-
ing line of the two counties who have
for years seen the folly of division into
two when the organization took place
some eight years ago, and are now using
their efforts to bring about the eonsoli-
dation. Incidentally, the citizens OF
Graceville have been induced to take
hand in the matter, being situated in
about the center of the proposed new
county, and considerable bad blood is
being shown ON the part of OrtonVille
the county seat of Big Stone county, as
we'll as Wheaton, which aspires to SINH
lar honors in Traverse county, under the
jacobson majority bill, waging TRADE
of personal abuse against the citizens OF
Graceville and Bishop Ireland who owns
some real estate hereabouts. The PEG
pie of both counties are being loaded
down with excessive taxes year after
year, hence every farmer within twenty
miles of G-aceville has cheerfully aided
the movement, appealing as it does, to
his pocket-book. There can be no rea
son why the legislature should not gram
the urgent request of a majority Of the
taxpayers living in the territory affect
ed, and should it come to vote the ques
ton would doubtless carry by gooo
majority in each county. There is 6
general feeling that The new county
should be named Harrison.

Where's Belyea?

Reform struck Bclyoa In the-wake.
And he's returned to Elbow Lake,
To browse again on hashy food,
To live In want, In woe, In need,
And once more to try and learn to live
On twenty cents day, and thrive.
You see-by chance as strange rs fiction,
And by grace and a Id of Hixson-
The state made Belyea-"insult offer
or dollars five a day-the proffer
A clerkship on grain committee,
And residence In the sanity city.
Never grasped drowning man at straw,
Like Belyea reached for Office" He saw
Visions of plenty, leisure and pelf,
And knowing how everything was himself,
You bet the proffer ne'er got by him
He pocketed "nsult"-and per diem.
He never worked or earned "
"He didn't have to-" don t you SEQ
1t was not bargained that he should
We know he couldn't If he would.
The place was made for him, you bet,
And the state thus paid polite debt.
But now, alas. there comes slop,
And Belyea's dropped ker-chunk, lcer-fop.
The way this happenstance occurred
Is neither silly nor absurd
They fired him bodily--was not thanked,
But got instead unkindly spanked.
After few short days of plenty,
With paunch we'll lined instead OF empty,
His pOcket-book for once had cash,
But his taste and liking spoiled for hash,
Belyea's sent off upon his ear,
Reforms boot planted In his rear.
Well, Belyea's hustled after Hall,
Hodgson sees writing on the wall,
Country journalists now are flxin
A soup bath for "the only" Hixson;
A rods in pickle, too, for others
OF the of1ice-seeking gang of brothers.

Pronhetic Words.

Gladstone, the "Grand Old Man, made
great speech, full of prophetic words,
on the Irish question, in the British par
lament on the 1st inst. Referring 20 the
Parnelite prisoners, he denou iced the
degrading ha- dships, the personal indig-
mites they suffered. He denied that the
treatment of political prisoners under
the Liberal government was similar. No
other government, Liberal or Conserva-
tive, had given imp-isonsd political men
such usage. [Cheers.] Mr.. Balfour's
plea, that the treatment of prisoners
could not be altered without an altera-
ton of the rules beyond his power, was
ludicrous. The plain Truth was, the pres
emit treatment of prisoners was part OF
q system Of extreme repression. Why
ought not the Conservatives to realize
that it was due the Liberals that the anti
National system in Ireland constituted
an imminent danger to the union. He
proceeded to give glowing account OF
the progress Of ireland under Drum
mond from 1885 to 1910, contrasting it
with the regime of Balfour. He declared
that the breach between the people and
the government was row widening, and
the administrators of the law was i'm
paired and almost gone. lChesrs.] A
nation was now governed in conflict with
five-sixths of her representatives in pa.
lament, o1e-fourth of whom it had been
necessary to send to prisons; which,
through the action of the government.
became temples Of homo: LCheers.] In
conclusion Mr.. Gladstone said: "To con-
tinue the state of things under which SO
many representatives of this house are
placed under a band of prescription is
impossible. You may deprive of its grace
and freedom the liberty asked, but you
cannot avert it. prolonged cheers To
prevent the consrmmation of it is utterly
beyond yourpowe-. Itseems to approach
at an accelerated rate, but must come,
slower or quicker, it is surely coming,
and MANY Of you who have opposed il

Don't Like Annexation.

The Ortonville Herald-Star don't
take kindly to the scheme of annexa-
ton of Big Stone and Traverse count
les. Says it is ridiculous to dignity
the "wild and woody scheme of citi-
zens OF Graceville, by an editorial
recognition Of their asinity," and
then gives the citizens of Graceville
particular hi in an article of oyer q
column in length. The Herald-Star
editor evidently don't like GracevIlle
people, and this is the way lie goes
for them, because they have seen fit
to advocate the annexation of the two
counties above named:
"Has there ever been a long and
expensive murder trial in the county
Yes, Just one; a man at Graceville
murdered o fellow being in cold blood
at an expense to the county of 80, 900.
Was there ever a case of incendiarism
in the county, Yes, just one; citt-
zen Of Graceville, in open daylight,
set fire to his employers farm build
ings and crops, at an expense of 81 900
TO the county. Has there ever been
an assault with intent to kill in the
county? Yes, q man ct Graceville
disfigured another man for life with a
murderous club, at an expense OF
more than 81 900 to the county. Has
burglary been committed, have horses
been stolen, has liquor been sold illeg-
ally, has there been expensive county
charges, poor. insane, imbeciles and
iIligitimate children? Yes, and all
from Graceville. The records show
that four-fifths of all the crime, of all
the misery, and OF all the litigation in
Big Stone county, i1i the ygars since
the county was organized, has come
from Graoeville, and the people OF the
county have been taxed and taxed to

When Gen. Harrison was in the
senate he said: II would like to have
our navy made respectable, SO that an
American naval officer, as he treads
the deck of a ship bearing the starry
banner at her head, and looks upon
her equipment and armament, may
feel that she is q match for the proud
est ship that walks the sea under any
other flag" All right, Mr.. President.
Now you are in position where you
will have some influence with the
present administration, it is hoped
that you will see to it that the United
States has the kind of navy you
wanted when you was senator.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucus lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucus sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case OF deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we can not cure by TAX
ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

We have been calculating on going
over to GraceVille to attend the cele-
bration Oh ST. PatricA's day, in COM
pany with the Morris Hibernians, but
after reading tie above, weare think
ing erhars IL will not he safe to do so,
unlcSsthe Hihcrn!ans Of this city will
sec us through all right.
Ard now Wheaton gets OH her ear
and struts around like u cock turkey
in the spring of the year, and says she
will have no annexation. The trouble
with Wheaton is, there are too many
I men up there who want office, and II
the annexation of the two counties
should take place, their chances OF
being elected to Office would be less
ened one-half. Why, Wheaton alone
can easily furnish candidates enough
to I'LL the offices of half dozen
counties, and then not half exhaust
the supply. Tell us how many voters
there are In Wheaton, and we will tell
YOU Just how many candidates for
office there are III that town. And
then Wheaton expects to be the county
seat of Traverse county. Now, not
withstandiug all this, buster and
abuse of the HcraldStar We hold that
the citizens of Graneville, and other
towns have an inalienable right To
advocate the annexation Of the two
counties, even if there are some Oad
peonle IN thrse towns. And the ar
gu,uent' that it Is not advisable to
annex Traverse because some towns III
Big Stone are bad, don't hold GOOD,
unless it is used Tor the beneht OF
Traverse, not desiring to bring hel
into the same organization Oh account
, of the bad reputation Of part OF Big
Stone.
The reason for Oltonville opposing
annexation IL ewing to the efact that
: the question OF removing the county
seat from there might come up ana
it wouldn't he u pleasant thing Iol
Ortonville to lose the county seat,
you know.
Were it not for the fact that we own
property in Traverse county and pay
quite heavy tax there, we would not
teke any particular interest in this
annexation matter. AS it is, we are
in favor Of annexat!"n, but don't
propose to get mad about it and call
people hard names just because they
happen to differ with us in relation to
to the advisabjIity of the scheme.

Gov. Merriam has signed the bill
known as 8. f. No. e04, by the pro-
visions of which the Whiteman law,
so called, is no longer applied to town
ship elections. The bill amends Sec
ton II, chapter 4, OF the general laws
of 1887 by striking out the words
"town, city or township wherever
they occur and also the words "newly
organized" AS can readily be seen
from perusa! of the law Of 1887 re-
ferred to, this puts into operation, SO
far as townships are concerned, the
law as it was before the Whiteman
law went iuto effect. No registration
will now be necessary in township
elections, and candidates for town
offices may also be judges of election

provides for making GIFT of seed grain
by the state to those who suffered from
