cities with fruits and vegetables.
Mr.. Horrine thinks that with an aver.

ship this season about 1000 carloads Of
strawberries. This means about 6,O6D
crates, or II, 600, 600 quarts. The prices

A New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is new de-
parture in the treatment OF disease. 1t
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment ofother physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and so
on till these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
ity.
This new method of zone remedy for

sense of all sufferers, many of whom have

ly realize the absurnity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of a single bottle,
and the use of which, as staff tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.

BIG STONE COUNTY.

BIG STONE COUNTY.
A correspondent of the Morris Sun
writes:
It's with feelings of pleasure that I
see through your invaluable journal
that the farmers alliance organize
ton of Stevens county is in good
working order. An effort is again
made in Big Stone county to reor-
ganize, with what success time alone
will determine. As yet only three are
known of subordinate alliances in
good working order, viz: Graceville,
Tokua and Browns Valley. It's
strange that farmers should remain
so long inactive to their own inter-
ests, toiling year after year with
mortgages, real estate and chattle,
with no prospects before them but
foreclOsing. This seems hard but
stubborn facts, and we would like to
know if there is any necessity for it i?
Not if they were alive to their own in
terests. Organization is the only
weapon to combat monopolies and
trusts. If all the farmers OF Minneso-
ia were organized and a free and
judicious use exercised at the ballot
box, the record of our future legisla-
tors would form a strong contrast
with those of the past, and our rail
road and warehouse commissioners
would enforce the law to the satisfac-
ton of their constituents.

Mcintosh, Times:
Farmers, Alliance organizations
have been formed at Crookston,
Mentor and several other places in the
country and the sentiment in favor
OF the organization of alliances is be-
coming more and more active though
out the state. Shall we organize an
Alliance at Mcintosh? This is a
question which should receive the
careful consideration of every farmer
in this vicinity who has his neighbors
at heart. When Manufacturers, Mill
ers and Railroad and Elevator COM
panies combine to lower the prices
paid to the laborer and producer on
the one hand, and at the same time
increase the cost to the consumer on
the other. how can farmers expect to
secure their just share OF the profits
OF their labor single handed. "In
union there is strength, and through
united action alone can the farmers
OF this country hope to successfully
compete with these gigantic monopo-
lies and combines for their rights.
We should be glad to have farmers
express their opinions, or offer any
suggestions in regard to this or any
other matters of general interest
through the columns of the Times.

We have taken the pains to investi-

Alliance conventions held in the ter

a pail rests upon the labor and the
producers of wealth, not only in our
state but in all the old and wealthy
states of the east. Obtuse indeed
must be that man who is unable to
see the necessity for a radical change
in the policy of the government in it's
