Truth in n Nutshell.

The following paragraph expresses a
volume of truth: 'One-third of the
fools in the country think they can beat
the lawyers in expounding law. One
half think they can beat the doctor heal
ing the sick. Two-thirds of them think
they can beat the ministers preaching
the gospel, and all of them know they
can beat the editor in running news

HALF A MINUTE, PLEASE.

Though you were Jay Gould or a
Vanderbilt, it is worth thirty seconds of
your time to learn that "Ideal" Tooth
Powder will preserve your teeth from
decay, and by SO doing save dentists
bills and hours of agony from your old
enemy, the toothache. DR.. r. Z. Gieb-
ner, Pa, says: "When 1 first began
using Ideal" Tooth Powder I could
not use brush on my teeth on account
of injuring the gums. Can now use as
stiff brush as obtainable with impun-
ity. It has also hardened the enamel OF
my teeth.

Trouble Between the Western Union an
the Government.

oub Between the Western Union and
the Government.
The government is now indebted to the
Western Union Telegraph company for
about ten months service, for a business
amounting to about $780, 600 annually.
The telegraph company has refused to ac-
cept the rate fixed by Postmaster General
Wanamaker, and the latter has declined to
make any further modification. Mr.. Wan
amaker's rate is 10 cents for ten words for
q distance of 800 miles or less, and q pro-
portionate increase for greater distances.
The Western Union is still con-
tinuing to take all government
messages, but ever since
last June they have refused to receive any
pay on the basis Of the new rates. 1t is
said that the company proposes to insti-
tute suit to determine the legal questions
involved, and that it will deny that the
government has a right to fix q rate which
is not a just remuneration for the services
rendered, and will claim that the rate fixed
by Postmaster General Wanamaker is Of
this character. The company, it is under
stood, refuse to accept any money for tele-
graph services until the courts have rem
dered a decision. No suit, however, has
as yet been instituted, and government
officials are wondering when the telegraph
company proposes to take action.

result of necessity. 1 except, of course,
such mortgages as represent balances of
purchase money, which are rather evil
dences of the farmers ambition and en-
terprise than of his poverty. On the other
hand, those mortgages with which land
has been encumbered from the necessity of
its owner, drawing high rates of interest,
often taxed in addition with q heavy COM
mission, have to-day, in the face of con-
tinued depression in the prices of staple
products, become very irksome and in
many cases threaten the farmer with
the loss of home and land. 1t
is q question of grave difficulty to
all those who seek to remedy the
ills from which our farmers are suffering.
At present prices the farmer finds that it
takes more Of his products to get q dollar
wherewith to pay back the dollar he Dor
rowed thar it did when he borrowed it.
The interest accumulates, while the pay
ment of the principal seems utterly hope
less, and the very depression which We are
discussing makes the renewal of the mort
gage most difficult. Many people are dis
posed to associate this prase of the subject
with the question of an undue Limitation
of our currency. Many carry this line of
argument to extremes, but it is by no
means impossible that these subjects are
correlated. However, the question of cur
rency is receiving general attentention
from another branch Of the government;
legislation on this subject is now pending
before congress, and we can no doubt look
for an early and satisfactory solution of
this vexed problem.

We knew an editor, an intelligent
man, who was going from an interior

got into Montreal Saturday night,
couldn't get away till Monday morn.

his Vermont town. He simply didn't
know how to buy a ticket. Your local
railroad agent may not look like a
very smart man; he may not have a
front pew i'm church; he may not rank
high in the towns social circles; but
he knows more about railroad rates
and connections than you do. If you
are contemplating trip, just call at
his office, tell him where you want to

CALIFORNIA LETTER.

OCCIDENTAL, CAL Oct. 81, 1890.
C. X. Morse, Esq, River Falls, Wis.
My OLD FRIEND.-Having few
spare moments to-day think / will
use them in penning few lines to
you.
Thinking that perhaps some of my
old Wisconsin friends might think
that Dick Proctor had forgotten some
of the pleasant associations of the
twenty-five years that he lived i'm the
good old town of River Falls, if so. let
me tell them that the kindest and
most pleasant thoughts l have are
those that revert to the 'sold town"
and those that dwell therein. New
associations have been formed and
new friends found, but the best friend
yet is the old tried one.
My wife and l we're very agreeably
surprised last Wednesday evening by
the bouncing in upon us of some
thirty of as good people as one need
wish to meet, who told US that accord
ing to report we had been MARI ed
twenty-five years. and that this was
the day we should celebrate. Of
course we could not deny the charge
and were willing to acquiesce in all
they asked. The evening was very
pleasantly passed with games, music
and conversation, and from the pro.
visions brought in by our kind friends
one of the finest suppers it was ever
my lot to sit down to was spread, and
after all had done ample justice to the
same there was enough for another
crowd as large. Many presents were
left-all beautiful, useful and costly,
even too much SO for the plain every
those presents will always bring to
our minds of the new friends we have
found on the far Pacific coast will ev-
er be bright spots in our journey of
life. But for fear that this will not
be Of interest to you | will say no
more of the Silver Wedding.
We are having remarkably pleas
ant fall, only the roads are dusty be-
yond your comprehension. We had a
light rain about the first of September
and since then the sky has been al
most cloudless and the thermometer
has marked from 80 to 30 in the shade.
The crops are all gathered but the
grapes, there are quite good many of
them out yet. Prices for fruit this
season have been quite high, as you
will find when you come to buy this
winter. The crops generally in this
county are good. Peaches sold from
the tree at 4c per Id, prunes at 1893
apples at from $l2 to $40 per ton at
the driers. Farm products bring good
prices-hay $l0Q$l4 per ton, wheat
so per 100 lbs, oats from $l.609
$500 per 100 lbs, barley $3.50 per 100
lbs. potatoes $l.009$l.25.
Politics are all the 60 now, with
both parties confident of success.
Jake Taylor from River Falls, who is
here with me, says he has never seen
political fight before; that Wiscon-
sin politics are tame by the side of
Californian.

est regards to all my Pierce county
friends, remain yours truly,

sion of women as lay delegates"
Those opposing, this form: against
the admission of women as lay dele
gates.'
Election, how held--Under the d.
rection of the preacher in charge and
