Mr.. DOnnelly, the State Lecturer,
paid the GREAT WEST a visit the
other day, and in an interview, while
not taking part in the contro versy
between us and the Princeton Union,
said that Bob Dunn" the editor
of the Union, was one of the most
honest, reliable and useful members
of thelast legislature; a whole-souled,
impetuOus man; not always right,
perhaps, but always honorable and
lust.

The idea that supply and demand
make the market price of cereals has
lost it's grip upon public credullty
Let any one go on the Board OF
Trade at Chicago and buy and sell,
himself, within three months, the en-
tire wheat crop of the country, as
''scalper," and never see kernel OF
wheat, and he wont hold that 'idee"
prettymuch! That's what thou
sand gamblers are doing on the two
Boards at Chicago-and have been
doing for years. We have stood
at the shoulder of a broker in the pit,
while he slung out a million of wheat,
and dropped the market cent and a
half in thirty minutes. That thirty
minutes cost the country six million,
seven hundred thousand dollars
And, singular as it may seem, the
broker made over $1,000 out of the
operation.

very few have responded to our
call for an account of Railway coun-
ty and township bonuses-do not
put this matter off. Get as much
as possible done through your
alliances. But let every subscriber
send in note or postal card telling
OF what bonuses he knows of-even
If it goes back forty years! Do not
delay this. Let us accumulate facts.

The non-partisan movement is
spreading with wonderful rapidity
since the recent elections. When
every farmer in America can deny,
point-blank, that he belongs to any
party other than the "United States
party" there is hope for a revolution
in politics-but not before.
"What party do you belong to Mr..
Hawjybuck ?"
MY own. Good day sir"

Those elections were Summers.
The plutocratic daily papers haven't
got over the paralysis yet. Some
saw it was the saloon in Vice Presi-
dent MOrtons boarding house.
Some say it was a thistle in j..
Ellen Fosters necktie. Others say it
was because of a comet between the
moon and the Jug. The real reason
is because the lot of bowling hallelu-
iah party cusses have run up against
the non-partisan snag. The great
''pumpkin blossom" OF the prairie is
going to vote for whom he pleases-
now, hencefOrth and forever.

the medicine, and advised him to be par

ont his contempt for little doses and
withdrew. Tue next day he COM
planned that the medicine WAS mo

took much a. Il spoonful at a time.
and il only made him little sick at
the stomach.
One day the druggist prepared a

Most persons who have walked on
railway track have observed how
much rustier rails that are infrequently
used are than those in constant serv-
ice. A French scientist thinks he has
found an explanation of this phenome-
non in the fact that when n mixture OF
iron rust and iron is submitted to great
pressure, the magnetic oxide OF iron il.
formed. IN the case OF rails in con.
slant use he thinks that superficial
coating OF magnetic oxide is formed by
the compression OF the rust on the
metal by the passage of trains.
