CANTON, o, Nov. 6.-Unless the official

and Holmes counties are now going on.
Holmes county is estimated at 1880 for

Medina official is 1883 for Mckinley and
Wayne 1856 for Warwick. Mckinley said
this afternoon TO an Associated Press re-
porter that while conceding his probable
defeat by small majority he is greatly
satisfied with the results. He said that the
issue was between protection and tariff
for revenue only, clear and distinct, and
nothing else entered into the canvass. His
bill was the center Of the assault. The re-
suit he regards as a signal victory. The
democratic majority of 9, 300 in this district
last year was reduced to about 300 this year.

Gently suggested that the entire con-
troversy between grain growers and
elevators concerning weights could
be settled by requiring railroads to
receipt for a given quantity of grain
in car as they do for all kinds OF
freight, and then compelling them to
deliver that quantity to the consignee.
1t is claimed that the farmer can
look after the weights of his grain
at home, but has no protection after
it passes into the hands of the rail-
road, which is paid for safely trans
porting and faithfully delivering all
freight committed to it's care. If a
farmer ships 100 hogs to certain
point no railroad thinks of deliver
ing but ninety, and at the same time
satisfying the shipper; but if a car
load of wheat shrinks any number OF
bushels the shipper is supposed to
stand it without a word OF protest.
In view of the fact that elevators at
terminal points, "clean up an aver
age of anywhere from $4,000 to
SO, 900 bushels once to twice q year,
some systems of weighing and hand
ling grain should be devised which
will prevent such wholesale stealing.
The suggestion herewith noted will
bear thinking Of

TWO UNIQUE FESTIVALS.

A great many of our American
cities have attempted, at one time or
another, grand spectacular parades,
but with few exceptions, they have
been failures. At the late George
Washington Presidential Centennial
in New York, a spectacular procession
was attempted, but in all points ex-
cept that of great numbers of people,
it was unsuccessful, as confessed by
the papers of the Metropolis. There
are only two cities where these things
are handled rightly and made a
shining success-New Orleans with it's
"Mardi Gras,'' and st. Louis with it's
'''veiled Prophets" The former oc-
ours in February, and the latter in
October. Ii you think of witnessing
either this year, remember that "The
Burlington has it's own line to st.
Louis, and is the best route from all
points in the Northwest to the south.

bureau at Washington.
Nine. Viardot, who possesses the orig

Mrs. Fannie b. Ward has started on a
trip as news correspondent through
South America. The journey will &C.
cupy year, and will extend through
every division of that country.
The late Mrs. Frances Lucretia
Thomas, widow of Gen. George H.
Thomas, of Washington, was in her
youth a woman of great personal beauty.
She had majestic bearing and most
impressive manner.
Mrs. S. S. Cox owns several houses i'm
Washington. Mrs. Cox looks after her
property herself and has the reputation
of being good business woman. She
is believed to be engaged upon memo
rial biography of her husband, whom
she accompanied in all his travels and
aided in his literary work.
DR.. Olga Neymann, one of the many
bright women in Sorosis a dentist by
profession, hires female assistants, all OF

it is lady, stroke her hand sympathetic
cally. Children are woocd with stories

operation is finished.

taking security on the lands? This
would enable the farmers to live and
pay his interest when due. Should
any land be forfeited, why the govern
ment would own it and could readily
dispose Of it or keep it. Then Uncle
Sam would be somewhat more inter
ested in the success of the farmers
and he would see it to his interest to
extend the water ways into this great
wheat region. 1t costs nine cents to
put wheat down in Liverpool from
Duluth-less than our freight to
Duluth. If we had a canal to Duluth
one cent bushel would be an enor-
nous freight compared with the rates
beyond, and if we had a cent rate
even that would mean immense for
tunes to the producers in the Red
River Valley. A canal system to the
valley would be no more of an under
taking in this day than was the Erie
canal when it was constructed. The
government is supposed to look after
the interests of the people and just
now agriculture is in need of earnest,
serious attention.

where help is most needed. We Or

l told them that 1 would see them
through for SOC each, which they
paid me, / got the charter and others
were to pay the regular fees. That
gave a little encouragement, so that
by November last we commenced to
ship live stock and produce, realizing
our cash for all we sold then. Four
teen of us organized a company and
started q small country store, which
has heretofore been a success. We
are saving about % per cent besides
the profits on outside trade. We in
tend to handle machinery as soon as
wecan. We supply the farmers now

short notice, and upon depositing
the cost of the articles, thereby saw

We are frequently asked by Al
lance men: "What shall we do to
keep up the interest of our meetings?"
Well, in order to be the most success
full we should say that you should
keep posted on what is going on in
the State and National Alliance
work. We will do all that local pa
per can do to keep our readers posted,
but every Alliance should have at
least one copy of the new Alliance pa
per published at St. Paul, the GREAT
WEST. There is also published at
Chicago a grand Alliance paper, the
Western Rural, which is full of live
suggestions that every farmer should
know. A copy of each of the above
papers and a good reader in every
Alliance, would furnish abundant
topics for discussion even though
your Alliance should meet every
week, and right here we would sug-
gest the advisability of a weekly
meeting during the winter months
wherever practicable, rs there is
plenty OF work to do. The subscrip-
ton price of the GREAT WEST is 81 a
year. We will furnish it with the
Journal for 50. The regular price OF
the Rural is $50. We will furnish
it with the Journal for $3.50. In
reality every farmer should have

BITS OF SCIENCE.

In the purest air subjected to test for
the causes which produce the dimming
effect Of haze, there were about "a 900
dust particles found in each cubic inch.
The new metallic packing for piston
rods permits the rods to move freely
within it, is simple and strong, and may
be removed and taken to pieces with
ease.
It is said that 10 per cent. of alum,
added to plaster of paris while being
burned, renders it as hard as marble on
setting, and capable of taking fine
polish.
A color test for railway employees has
been introduced in the shape of device
consisting of revolving series of col
ored glasses lighted from behind by o
flame and tinted like the lamps of the
signal boxes.
In tanning BY electricity the ordinary
tan liquid is employed, and the hides re-
volve slowly through it, while the cur
rent from dynamo traverses the vat,
and helps the. tannin to combine with
the elatine of the skin.
Salt put in water which surrounds the
ordinary glue pot causes hotter glue to
be obtained than where simple water is
used. Salt in the water where mason
work is being done in cold weather pre-
vents disintegration by frost.
When Sir ]. Herschel was defending
the character of astronomical science in
view of an error of nearly 4,000,00Q
miles in estimating the SUMS distance,
the correction was shown to apply to an
error of observation so small as to be
equivalent to the apparent breadth of
human hair at distance of 1875 feet.
Moles on the face are now being sue
cessfully treated by the use of sodium
ethylate. The mole is painted with the
sodium ethylate, a fine glass rod being
used. When the mole has vanished
look the ethylate is gently rubbed in
with the glass rod, to make it penetrate
more deeply. The mole turns nearly
black, and hard crust forms over it,
which is nearly three weeks in becoming
detached.
A good grease for boots, which is said
to entirely prevent sore feet, is all ONT
ment made of four parts of lard, four
parts of olive oil and one part of caout-
chouc (raw rubbcr), which are melted
together on slow fire. Having moist
ened the sole of the boot with water,
warm the boot in stove or before fire,
and then smear it over with the COM
pound. The boot is said to become soft,
pliable, shining, waterproof and even
more durable.

and which does not go to the sup

the civil war; but which is used to
build up q montyed aristocracy, based
on robbery, in this country and in
Europe.
Is itnot time to ring the alarm bell
in staid and sleepy Wisconsin, and
rally the people to the defense OF
their homes and lives? Is it not
time for you farmers to follow the
examples of your younger sisters,
Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas,
flesh of your flesh and bone of your
bone, and rally in every township,
and form alliances, and help us
drive off the vampires that now are
sucking our likelihood?
And yet should not be too hard
on you Wisconsin farmers, for l re-
member, as l write, that you have
done that which we, in Minnesota,
have never yet been able to accom-
plish You have elected as your gov
ernor a man strongly identified with
agricultural interests; man, too, of
broad mind and liberal heart; and he
is making you good governor
the best you ever had. But Go not
rest with this result. Let it be but
an incentive to you to go further
and work harder.

just what we are doing in Minnesota,
and what we propose to do.

leader of the brass band and finding
that it was made UP Of 18 youths OF
spirit and ambition, it was suggested
that they came out and give the
farmers a first-class s'toot." And they
did it right royalty too. Now the
farmers will appreciate that, and
when the time comes that the band
wants new instruments or uniforms
the farmers will help them.
The farmers who gathered at the
court house were a fine body of toilers,
representing the best blood of the
country. How such men can sit
quietly by and let themselves be
cheated out of both money and
rights is one of the mysteries of this
age.
Col. Butt, the President of the
State Alliance, is large, broad-mind-
ed man, who is thoroughly in earnest
in his work, and who is not, like
some of the state presidents, dead
on alliance work, but aliveson some
salaried position or political place.
The Col. is from Kentucky, where he
commanded a union regiment.
Col. May, the state lecturer, who
was with us, was with a Wisconsin
Regiment, the 48th, if we remember
rightly. He is one of the faithful.
Mr.. Tilton, the president of the To-
cal alliance is a splendid worker-al-
SO wearing blue coat. The secre-
tary was so busy that we did not

was taking in dues with "neatness
and despatch" The alliance en-
braces about 800 members.

In presenting this our catalogue OF
Percheron. Horses for 1890, we do it
with no small degree of satisfaction
knowing as we do that the superior
merit of the stock mentioned herein
can not fail to meet the approval of
our patrons and friends. We have
this year as in former years selected
such horses as will fill the present
want. Our Importation this season
combined good breeding quality with
size, bone and color go per cent. of
them being blacks.) This Importance
is PROFESSIONALLY the finest lot of
Percheron stations and mares ever
brought to the Northwest. A sui
ficient proof OF this being the fact
that Is per cent. of all first prizes
awarded PercherOns at the Minneso-
ia State Fair to horses of this sea-
sons importations went to us, and
50 per cent. OF all first prizes awarded
PercherOns where there was competi-
ton among importers horses, were
awarded ours. And all first prizes
awarded this years importations
where there was competition among
importers horses were awarded our
horses.
1t is not necessary for us to here
expound the merits of the Percheron
horse as in comparison with other
breeds, as their superiority is too
we'll known to need repeating. 1t
only need be said that they have
been tried and not found wanting.
And with a cordial invitation to all
to visit us and inspect our stock we
