erful organization. Mr.. McCulloch's
speech was received with applause.
O.S. Parnienter spoke briefly on the
general suffering among the farmers,
the disadvantages under which they
worked and the unequal show they had
IN law, with other classes. Mr.. Par

The following is the platform
adopted by the North Dakota Farm
ers Alliance at Fargo last week. 1t
is good one and will no doubt be
heartily endorsed by the farmers:
The platform favors the Australian
ballot system; primary elections; a
government system of lending money
at low rate of interest, ON real estate
securities; free and uniform text books
in the public schools of the state;
female suffrage; government owner
ship and control of railroads and
telegraph lines; the establishment by
the government of institutions for
the care of invalid old soldiers; rigid
economy in every department of the
government; state and national legis-
for the complete determination of
the saloon; the enactment of tariff
laws providing for the the reduction
of duties on necessities, and increase
of duties on luxuries, and free raw
materials for manufacturing; pur-
poses; and an income tax on all in
comes exceeding $4,000.
1t is understood that an attempt
was made to insert another plank
favoring the proposed sub-treasury
scLeme,b but that, after an animated
debate, was defeated.

HYPOCRISY.

A few weeks ago Secretary Graf, OF
the Alliance, asked the editor of the
COURIER if he would publish the re-
port of the Alliance meetings. We told
him we should be pleased to do 80, In
short time aftcrward, Tom brought
in hts report and 1t was printed, and
the only kick we have coming is, that
he is either like Mr.. Parmenter-two-
faced or he was afraid of hurting our
ceilings, so he sent the balance of .he
report t" the Dakota Ruralist, which
we take pleasure III clipping. Mr. Par
menter has repeatedly asked permits
sion to write up articles about his
neighbors for publicatlon-which was
refused-and has held up Mr.. McCnl-
loch as laughing stock for the county.
His local Alliance he has rdiculed, and
in fact he is nothing more or less than
an old hypocritc. The Alliance need
not be afraid to bring in their copy,
whether it hurts the COURIER or some
one else, it will be published just the.

GRIGGs COUNTY.

We clip the following from the Fargo
Sunday Argus:
Griggs county is bounded on the
north by Nelson, on the east by Steele
on the south by Barnes and on the west
by Stutsman, Foster and Eddy counties.
1t contains about 400, 900 acres. It was
created in 1881, from part of Trail
county, and the boundaries afterward
changed, giving a portion to Foster
and another to Steele.
The Sheyenne river passes through
the entire leugth of the county from
north to south, while Bald Hill creek
and several other small streams also
water the central and southern parts Of
the county. There are several good
sized lakes in the northern part. includ-
ing Red Willow Lake Norway Lake,
Lake Jessie, Lake Addie and Lake ib.
ley. Near the latter are the old earth
works thrown up by the troops in the
Sibley expedition.

1t is estimated that over three
hundred and fifty thousand bushels
of wheat will be marketed at Coop
erstown this year. This is not bad
for an half crop year. Over one
hundred thousand bushels of this
amount will be drawn IN from the
country tributary to the Great North
ern, some farmers drawing in grain
nearly forty miles from Cooperstown
while they could. just as well market
it within five or six miles from their
own farms. The reason we get this
grain at Cooperstown is probably
from the tact that our wheat buyers
give better grades and prices and
the liberal provision made by the
Northern Pacific for the shipment Of
grain. such as a platform and plenty

The shallow waters around Key West,
Fla. is the home of millions, more or less,
of big man-eating sharks. and scarcely a
day passes but what one or more are killed
from the wharves and in the shallow waters
around the island
w. S. Wilson and Duke Dart, of the
Naval Station, recently had big expert
ence with fine specimen of the man-eating
variety that will last them for several years,
so they say.
The other afternoon, while near the bar
racks, they saw several huge specimens
swimming in the shallow waters, their huge
dorsai fins going in every direction. Arm
ing themselves with couple Of heavy-bOre
rifles they started out. After chasing the
daddy" Of the gang around for some time,
they got close to him and planked two bull
lets from IA Winchesters through his
ugly body. The big shark leaped clear out
OF the water on feeling the bullets, and
came down with a swash, nearly upsetting
their boat. To their surprise he then be-
came perfectly quiet. and as they thought
they had secured q prize without much
trouble, they hastily pulled up to him, and,
putting rome round his body, started to
tow him to shore.
All at once the seemingly dead shark
aw0ke to the ign0mni0us fact that he was
being tOwed hind-end first into land, and
his objection was shown very strongly.
With dash Of his big tail the end Of the
boat was knocked to pieces and the two
shark fishermen were hurled head over heels
about ten feet into six feet Of water, with
