Some writer has described the follow
ing as party life in this topsy rurvy
world. No man is satisfied. One man
is struggling to get justice, another is
flying from it. One man is saving to
build house, another is trying to sell
his building for less than cost, to get rid
oft. One man is spending all the money
he can make in taking girl to the thea
tire, and sending her flowers, in hopes
eventually to make her his wife. while
his neighbor is spending all the gold he
has to get divorce. One man escapes
the diseases that man is heir to and gets
killed on the railroad. Another goes
through dozen wars without scratch
and dies with the whooping cough.

THE FARMERS.

What is the matter with the farmers,
anyway? 1t is only a few years ago
that the leading lights now at the head
OF the farmers movement, then green
hackers, commended that the only cause
of hard times was stringency in the mo
ney market. They gnawed on this file
until, with the aid of the mugwumps,
they placed the democratic party in
power. Inside of four years that party
had more than $12O, OOO, 900 of the peo-
pies circulating medium locked up in the
vaults of the government, and the settle
ment of new government land began to
be accompanied with so many technical
titles and uncertainties as to almost COM
pletely arrest the growth of the West,
bringing on harder times than we had
before. Now, the republican party is
in power again, and the farmers kick be-
cause this money is being put inty circu-
lation. A few years ago the farmers
kicked on the ground that the railroads
and warehouse men controlled the state.
Now, Gov. Merriam has incurred the ILL
will of those people by striving to serve
the farmers, aud the farmers are now
conniving with the democrats for his de-
feat, and the election of the most cum
ming and the most aggressive railroad
lawyer in the state. What is the matter
with the farmers, anyway? Are they
bound to croak in the slough of politi-
cal discomfort, like the frogs in Esop's
fable, until they succeed in getting some
huge serpent to devour them? Lave
they not the intelligence to know what
they want, and to distinguish their
friends from their enelnies?-[ Midway

All medical authorities agree that cat
arrh is no more nor less than an inflam-
nation of the lining membrane of the
nasal air passages. Nasal catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are not
diseases of of the blood, and it is serious
mistake to treat them as such. No consci.
entious physician ever attempts to do so.
1t is held by eminent medical men that
sooner or later specific will be found for
every disease from which humanity suf.
fers. The facts justify us in assuming that
for catarrh at least positive cure
already exists in Ely's Cream Balm

SCHOOL IorTMes.-Examinations this

SCHOOL JorTINes.-Examinations this
week.
The High School is larger than in any
previous year. ~
The set of drawing blocks just COM
pleted by Mr.. Getty is very fine. About
$40 were saved to the district by his
making them.
Mrs. Newell taught the 4th grade on
Friday last while Miss Howard took in
the sights at the exposition. Miss Stiles
went down on the afternoon train on
Friday.
AS result of the last examination the
high school ranks sixth in the number of
state certificates received. During the
year we received 800 against 165 the
year before.
In one of the books owned by a GER
tain senior very suggestive picture was
found carefully saved up. In the upper
part of the picture were the following
words, making glad waist places"
while at the bottom were the words,
Everybody likes it." "These pictures,
l am sure, are much more demoralizing
to the young man than is the Kreutzer
Sonata to the mature mind, and then they
show the cause of many peculiar things
that have happened in the senior row
since school began. Be cautious"
The following exercise was written by JUL
ia McMasters as a language exercise during
the regular period of thirty minutes. The
lesson was suggested by picture placed on
the wall by Miss. Woolford. 1t is given Just
as it was written, without any change in
spelling or punctuation. We will contribute
more from time to time.
FARM LIFE.
81 will now give short history of my life
on the farm. lived there seven years, and
never have enjoyed the past seven years in
the city as did my farm life.
The joys there were unbounded. Raking
the hay, driving the cows, and feeding the
chickens. There were three of us. May,
Clarence, and myself.
We used to help in the dairy, straining the
milk, and having our wholesome glass every
day. All, how often wish could recall
those seven years of city life back and spend
them on the farm. remember how we used
to drive the cows to pasture when father was
away.
The long shady lane, the clear river where
we used to fish, and the pasture where we
gathered nuts in the Autumn.
1t was little Mays turn every other night
to ride old Tip down to water behind Clar-
ence.
Our old dog Jim always followed May
when she rode.
How the cows used to splash through the
river to the meadow on the other side.
Our cottage to l remember. The butry
where bread and butter was always ready for
on my return from school. The cellar where
all the jells and jams were kept.
There stands the lofty barn. can almost
see it standing there, full of new mown hay
senting the yard with its fragrance.
The little lambs frisking about all day
long, and the little pigs, recall many events
of that date back to mind
Then came harvesting. My mother often
let me take the workmen's dinner to the field
and eat there with them.
Drinking from the spring was one of many
pleasures to me.
But must stop writing now. 1t does no
good to linger over the past years, for we
can not bring them back

An exchange says that a man who want
to learn what profession he would have
his son enter, put him in room with a
Bible, an apple and dollar BILL If he
found HIM when he returned, reading the
Bible, he would make a clergyman OF

THE AcADEMY.-The doors of the
Sank Centre Academy of Individual In
struction and Business College were
thrown open to the public on Friday ev-
ening. An entertaining program had
been prepared and Hon. F. E. Searles
Of St. Cloud had been secured as the ora
tor of the occasion, but through some
unforeseen circumstances, he was unable
to be present. Prof. Casey welcomed
the citizens present in few we'll chosen
words and male quartette composed
of Messrs. Woodley, Rich, Bishop and
Huntley, rendered the selection, "Only a
dream of home" Hon. Jos. Capser was
the first orator of the evening. He car
ried his audience back to the time when,
with only few pupils around him, Prof.
Cogan commenced his educational eff
forts in the school which afterwards be-
came the Grove Lake Academy, and still
later the Lakeview Academy of this city.
He showed to those present the many
difficulties through which the professor
had to make his way, and ended by pay.
ing pleasing tribute to the school as it
now stands. He was followed by DR.. ].
A. Dubois, who, in his pleasing way,
talked for a short time He lamented
the fact that he had not applied himself
closely enough to his studies during his
youth to be able to fill the position now
occupied by President Harrison, but
seemed to think that his politics might
have had something to do with his mis-.
fortune in not securing the exalted post.
ion. Rev. D. H. Mason of Alexandria
was the next speaker invited to take a
part in the exercises and responded with
a few we'll chosen sentences. He is a
pleasant speaker and left a good inn
preston upon his listeners. Prof Wood
ley and E. c. Rich here varied the pro
gram by renderin ga duet, entitled Beau
tiful Venice" after which Rev. c. E. Blod.
gett was called upon to address the aud.
fence. He addressed the most of his re.
marks to the students and showed them
in a thorough manner the necessity OF
becoming proficient in all branches of
knowledge, impressing upon them the
TACT that broad minded man was the
man who made the most of this life. He
was followed by ]. L. Robbins, who, in
short address, showed the feeling of the
citizens toward the school. Prof. Smith
then gave a short review of the work
done by the school under the present
management and showed the methods
which are pursued in gaining the most
education in the shortest time. The
audience was then invited to inspect the
new rooms which are now nearly ready
for the school. The professors have am.
pie Accommodations for two hundred and
fifty pupils and, with the facilities which
they have for educating the young peo
pie, they supply want which neither
public nor graded school can fill. The
people of Sank Centre are justly proud
of this institution and look forw ard
with real pleasure to the time when they
can point to this school as monument
of an educational idea which was born
nurtured and grew up to its present
high state in our midst and is distinct.

Creamery or no creamery. That is
the question. And It is a question OF
very little importance to the community
too, if one is to judge by the attendance
at the meeting at the opera house on
Tuesday evening held for the purpose of
discussing the question. Those who
should have been most interested in the
question were conspicuous by their alb
sence. 1t would seem as though when a
matter is projected which may possibly
be of benefit to the community our busi-
ness men and farmers might encourage
it to the extent of loaning their counten-
ances for few minutes of an evening to
meeting to discuss it. There is no bus
mess man in the city who could not af-
ford to take one or even two shares of
stock in the enterprise, even if he never
gets one dollar of the dividends. One
share costs 500, the interest on that
amount at ten per cent is $40 per year.
What merchant who handles butter
would MOI gladly give that amount to
be relieved of the kicks and curses he gets
from his butter trade? The farmer kicks
because he cannot get gildedge price for
a fourth grade butter, and the town
customer kicks because his grocer sells
him poor quality of axle grease for a
good quality of butter. Thus he gets it
FL
creamery he would put his goods out for
cash instead of exchanging them for but
ter which he will not receive one cent for
handling; but it is the farmers themselves
who should own this stock as they
would thus realize either in the price of
their cream or in cash dividends every
cent that is made from their COWS. Lots
of butter was sold in this city last sum-
mer for 8, S, and cents per pound;
clearly neither the farmer nor merchant
made much on that butter, yet the
cream which went into that butter if prop
erly handled would have produced an
article that would have sold from 20 to
rs cents in the eastern markets. These
are only few of the benefits that might
possibly result from successful creamery
and yet it is not worthy of a few minutes
time of an evening at dull season ofthe
year. About one-half of the necessary
stock was subscribed and most of that
by persons not materially interested in
or who would be benefited personally
by the enterprise but who took the stock
for the sole purpose of helping the thing
along. The matter was then placed in
the hands of a committee to solicit sub
scriptions and it is sincerely to be hoped
that they may be successful in raising
the required amount

All talk of opposition to Senator Kel-
Ter seems to have died a natural death.
No man could have done more for his
constituents than Mr.. Keller did during
his term and his services were justly APP
preciated and rewarded by renomina-
ton at the hands of his party. The dis
trict being overw helmingly democratic
it would be worse than useless for the
republicans to make nomination and
an independent candidate would stand
no show against Mr.. Keller. He will
doubtless have the field all to himself.

WHAT IS
ScROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, &C
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta-
tons usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
