GETTING READY.
Meeting at Fergus Falls of the Otter

Meeting at Fergus Falls Of the Otter
Tail County Alliances.
FERGUS FALLS Special Telegram-As a
harbinger of the coming political campaign,
the Otter Tail County alliance got together
at the court house, though not in so large
numbers as heretofore. Representative
Hompe as president was the leading spirit,
and he spoke at length upon the necessity
OF getting together and standing by the men
who had served them faithfully. The reso-
lutions were not important, save the follow
ing, which appealed strongly to the sense of
the gathering:
That the present excessive and oppressive
tariff shall be greatly reduced. We have grown
tired of taxing ourselves by the greatly ell
HANGED price of clothing, groceries, hardware,
and in fact, almost everything under the plea
that we must protect the working men in the
i'll fact, the labOring men find that their wages
are being reduced year by year, and the only per
ceptible effect is the building up of mammoth
fortunes for the manufacturing lords. 1t is also
idle to tell us any longer that it will build up Il
home market. Behold our home market after
many years OF protection: Beef cattle, X
cents per pound on foot; butter, o cents per
pound in the dead of winter; wheat 90 cents
per bushel; corn SO cheap i'll the corn growing
states that hundreds OF thousands of bushels are
used for fuel. Everything cheap that we produce;
everything high that we buy or pay for, includ-
ing money and taxes.
An effort will be made to reOrganize, tho
alliance here and gel. it.2n.'.- agaih.

HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT IT.
WASHINGTON, Special.-The news from
New York men are now less confident of
securing the fair, while friends of Chicago
are more hopeful. Representative Cum
mings blamed ex-senator Plat for the set
back given New YOrk's aspirations. He
said:
If the bill is beaten it has been done by the
Vaccinations of Tom Platt. He wanted a
Platt's worlds fair, but we wanted New York

Representative Stahlnecker said:
Well, it relieves us poor congressman It is
better that the bill should be beaten at Albany
than at Washington.
1t is thought that the report ofthe worlds
fair special committee win be delayed un-
til decisive action is taken at Albany.

a class who believe thatit is more lib

gateway to equality ofconditions and
more general prosperity. These

is a prize for them which is not gov

oppose any system that reduces
their chances to the level of their de,

not give up their advantages from

cling to their possessions and, if needs

Endangered the Train 20 Save


The following story is told of Ger
man railroad brakeman who lives in
this city: The train on which he was
braking chas1ced to be out after dark.
and as jake had neglected to fill with
oil the LAMPS in the rear end of the
hind coach, he concluded that if the
train should happen to be out late
the supply OF oil might be exhausted.
So Jake, modestly takes the lamps
down and blows them out, and places
them inside the coach. During the
night the passenger train was side
tracked to allow a fast train to pass
and turning the switch a fellow
brakeman noticed that there were no
lights in the rear end of the coach.
Going to Jake, he said. "Where are
your lights?" ooh, vas put them
out, as thot we would needs them
if we Vas outlate. "-Cincinnati Times

The Racket Wouldn't Work.

There is a certain city father in
this city who is a very busybody, so
busy that, in spite of himself, he oc-
casionally forgets some trihing
affair. One evening last week he
happened TO put on coat that had
been hanging up all Summer After
he had reached the club he discov-
cred in the pocket of the garment a
letter for his wife that had been di-
rected in his care and which had
been in his pocket three months or
more. One of his friends at the
whist table said:
''Pll tell you how l got out of just
such scrape once. You take that
letter home and quietly put it in a
book; then along in the evening &C
cidently discover it,"
I'm do that very thing" said tho
banker.
He did. And while the family we're
seated about the table in the library
reading and chatting he incidentally
picked up the book and glanced
through it. He finally discovered
the letter and exclaimed to his wife:
ooh here's q letter directed to you.
You must have put it here and for
gotten it. 1t has not yet been
opened"
AS she took the letter she gave him
look that had a hidden meaning,
and while she was reading the post
mark his face had time to take on
an expression of guilt. 1t took her
just one minute to detect the scheme
and reinforce herself with new evil
dence of tt::.o guilt Then she turned
'ner searching eyes on him and said
mo, you don't, old boy. l bought
that book this afternoon" Hesaw
the jig was up aud surrendered as
gracefully as he could.-Pittsbure

Presbytery to-day further discussed the re-
vision of the confession of faith. Rev. DR..

fession more on line with the Bible.
Elder Van Renssler said that a majority of

posed to revision. Rev. J. B. SRaw,w was
in favor of going further with the
revision than the committee recommended

church, passing by the non-elcct, had been
represented as stumbling block, he said
and cited many chapters of the Bible
wherein stumbling blocks are referred to
and claimed that we put ourselves in a
false position. To be consistent we should
not revise completely but remodel. DIR.
Hastings closed the debate for the revision
lists. He said: e
DR.. Hall thinks that we revisionists should go
further, and entirely remodel the confession.

In remodeling it. We can hardly hope that the

ROBBED OF HER HAIR.

While on the Street.


BURLINGTON, Iowa, Special Telegram,
One of the most outrageous and
bold assaults upon lady ever occurring in
Burlington happened in the business por-
ton of the city to-day while the streets
were thronged with pedestrians. Miss Shu-
man, a young lady, was returning from an
errand to her home and had passed into a
side street, when man stepped up behind
her, grasped her around the waist with one
arm and, whipping out an ugly looking
butcher knife, quickly relieved the young
lady of mass of golden tresses that was
hanging loose down her back. So quick
was the action of the hair thief that she had
not time enough to scream or struggle, and
in less time than it takes to relate it the
deed was done and the man had disap-
peared. Miss Shuman is handsome yao{fffffig,
lady and somewhat of an an athlete in her
way But she was so amazed and paralyzed
do nothing. She is quite teo OVERCOME Scs by the
circumstances. No clue to the thief.

aisle, waved his hat at the choir and
shouted: stop! stop that singing
