Mankato Review: The farmers alliance
of this county, some time ago, solicited bids
from various dealers to furnish binding twlne
to its members. The bids show that Mr..
Keenan,, of Austin, the State Alliance pur-
chasing agent, was the lowest bv about one
cent per pound. His prices are 81 cents for
jute, l2A for half and half, and l4ai for ma
nilla. This includes railroad freight and de-
livery in this county.
Owatonna Journal Miss Bertha TruesdelI,
teacher of languages at Whitman College,
Walla Walla, Washington, gave very inter
| esting report Of the founding of the college,
at the meeting of the Congregational Wom-
| ans Missionary Society held at DR.. Hatch's
Friday afternoon. She showed photos of the
| college, faculty and graduating classes, all Of
| which had the appearance of being first class.
The college is under the supervision of the
American College and Educational Society,
which IS largely supported by Congregation
| alists throughout the country.
Hastings Gazette: Ignatius Donnelly made
his first appearance in the state Farmers
Alliance as the representative of a subordi-
nate alliance organized the night before by
himself, at his own house, for the express
| purpose of becoming delegate. He is now
pursuing the same tactics in the county, ad-
vertislng number of meetings to be held
the latter part of the month, with the ex-
pectatlon of securing eight or ten additional
delegates in his own personal interest. 1t is
his settled intention to either run the organi-
zation or ruin it. If the farmers are alive to
the situation he can do neither
Pioneer Press: Hon. J. j. Furlong of Mower
county was in the city yesterday, and states
that the feeling in his section is strongly in
| favor Of the Alliance convention, and that all
| the delegates from Mower county are coming
! to St. Paul prepared to nominate strong
| ticket. Mr.. Furlong is Democrat, and there.
! fore he would not be greatly distressed ythe
defeat of the Republican party. He say hat
there may be fear expressed in some quar-
ters that the Alliance will not nominate a
| strong ticket, but nowhere in the country
does such an idea prevail. He thinks ticket
with good head can be nominated. Mr.. Fur
long is not candidate for any office, although
he quite cheerfully announces himself at the
disposal of the Alliance and, if pressed to ac-
cept the nomination for governor, would un-
doubtedly do 50. ri
