The Setting of a Great Hope.

It was full of promise, but it went out
like the going down of the sun, that
hope that dragon flies could be trained
to exterminate mosquitoes. We our
selves hoped for it with all the enthusi-
asm of an unspoiled nature. But alast
it won't do.
The 5000 offered by DR.. Lamborn in
prizes for essays on the best methods of
propagating the dragon fly for mosquito
killing has been awarded, and the essay
lists have decided that the plan is not feas-
ible. Mrs. Eugene M. Aaron, of Phila-
delphia, received the first prize of $3.50.
She says that mosquitoes breed so much
more rapidly than dragon flies that the.
latter could never by any process Of
propagation be made to- overtake the
former.
Again, dragon flies sleep in the dark
ness and are active in daytime The
dragon fly could not by any means be
coaxed to get up nights to- kill mosqui-
toes. Thirdly, dragon flies are migra-
tory, and may at any time up and fly
away to new quarters without mo-
ment's warning. For this reason when
you most wanted them they might not
be there. There are some other reasons,
but these will do.

The New Way of Keeping Cool.

One who suddenly enters Washington
market, in New York city. of hot day,
will be refreshed by the grateful cool
ness that fills the place. Throughout
the building the temperature is just
what citizen would wish for his house
during midsummer heat. The thought
will. perhaps, occur that a great guam
tity Of ice is required tc produce this ef-
feet. In that he would be mistaken.
There is not d pound Of ice used. Per.
haps his eye will be attracted by NUM-
Der of pipes that run overhead and down
into the various booths and boxes where
meat and other perishable provisions are.
kept.
These pipes, will gEsten as though.
covered with ice and snow. though the
temperature be above 80 deg. outside tho
market. AS a matter of fact, it is exact
ly ice and snow that cover the pipes, and
nothing else. A freezing mixture Of
the salts Of ammonia is pumped into the
pipes from plant in another-street and
the vaporization Of these salts produces
the intense cold that chills the pipes till
frost and snow collect on the outside Of
them even in midsummer. Thus the
whole great market house is cooled and
provisions are kept at low tempera-
ture.
Here is one of the beautiful secrets OF
chemistry put to important practical
use. The utilization of freezing mix
lures is only in it's infancy as yet. The
freezing mixtures are not expensive.
The time will come when milk and
butter in diaries and far1nhouses will be
cooled in summer by this process, and
the temperature Of houses kept delicious
~ low. Then nobody need go away
from home to escape the heat.

sDoc" Fish, etc. Il. Z. Cooke, of the
Crookston Journal, asks what this
means? The Dawson Sentinel says
there is something wonderful in the
fact. These men are gilded in roseate
hues by nearly every party paper in
the state, while Mr.. Dsnnelly as well
as ourselves, gets lies and abuse-ly-
ing INTERVIEWS" which never 0c-
Cured at ALL! E
There is not daily issue now
which does not repeat this operation
in little notices and corridor COM
ments.
And yet not one of these stencil
factories and falsehood generators
ever noticed by a solitary line, the
tremendous defeat of Pillsbury on
the $4,000 challenge probably the
most important event, in stern reali-
ties, in Minnesota history for 25
years!
We denounce these men as ''stand-
ing in" with the political gang of St..
Paul, and we will warn the farmers
as duty-nor' seek shelter as a cow
ard, from their wrath!

burglar alarm, life preserver and certificate

then I've got to change with it,"
He pulled it off. rolled it into bundle

Crime in Massachusetts,,

On the whole, Massachusetts, the
mother Of public schools, seems not to
be growing wicleder, in spite of the de-
generacy of modern times and the great
influx of foreigners to her borders in the
last twenty-five years. It is true that in
1865 the commitments for crime in that
state were only to every lib inhabit-
ants, while in 1885 they were L to every
u. But other figures come in here. In
1865 The commitments for serious crimes
against person and property were to
301 inhabitants In 1885 they were only
l in every 436.
The added number of arrests in 1885
were for Cffenses against decency and
order; in other words, DRINKS and dis
orderlies. The cause of the increase Of
arrests may be summed up in one word,
intemperance. The arrests from this
cause have increased 500 per cent. in the
time named. The Boston Post says:
"The question Of crime in Massachu-
sets thus resolves itself into question of
intemperance pure and simple, for it is
owing to intemperance alone that there
is an increase of commitments
In proportion to the population, crimes
other than those arising from mtemper-
ance have actually decreased 33per cent.
since 1865. But there is a cheerful view
taken even of the increased arrests from
i
that public sentiment has been aroused
on the subject of inte,nperance to such
degree that there would be. arrests from
intemperance now where there would
not have been thirty-iye years ago, and
this changed public sentiment will &C
count for many Of the additional COM
mitments

ard) Irvine which the GREAT WEST
has been Offering to Alliances is all
sold. Every pound has gone, and we
understand that the last two orders
(Windom and Willmar) though sent
in by wire, were too late. We very
much regret this, but could not
avoid it-not knowing ourselves
that such wonderful quantities had
been ordered from the firm. The
jute Irvine advertised is still for sale,

be done from now to Wednesday next
we will wager our head, from posi-
tive knowledge, that at this date no
one can tell how the alliance stands
financially-and it is lucky if there
are $500 in the treasury! We want
to know where this immense stream
of money goes to. Again and again
we have called for a publication OF
the financial statements of the Al
lance every months or SO. 1t is
shameful that great business
should be carried on in such unbusi-
nesslike principles.
We have dozen alliances knock
ing at the door of the GREAT WEST
asking for charters! Their money
has gone and the charters don't
come! They are told that the Secre-
tary is 1.-TWO weeks behind" Then
what in the name of the immortal
muses. is Lathrop doing in St. Paul,
and everywhere else all these weeks ?
and what is that $40 a month
paid for? The alliance can hire
every stroke of it's work done at one
half OF $40 and have it done up to
the hour, every day. We aver that
practically no work is done at Daw-
son-as other people work.
Now, men of Drawn, our advice is
this: This is your time. It is your
call. 1t is the one period to make a
record. 1t is, to be sure, a special
meeting-but the most important
you have ever held. You will be ca
joled. You will be treated to indig-
nation. You will be cornered and
parleyed. But our advice is to say
"yes, yea-certainly," but hold your
own head level, and sit down heavily
on any work OF the Hall-Sprague-

The continued private, personal,
ring, political work of Hall, Lathrop,
ETC., is coming to the surface every
day. Who pays the expenses OF
these men travelling all over the
state? Who sends these kilograms ?
Who gives authority to these men to
lay plans with politicians and boo
dlers? Lathrop is a poor man-Hall
in financial straits. Who gives
them authority to invite criminal
lawyer Erwin to address the state
meeting, for the sole purpose OF
booming him for Attorney General?
and by what secret hocus pocus
are these things arranged, ready to
turn up at the proper moment
What mean the consultations of
these men with state officials? We
denounce the whole thing as a
secret movement of a set of dema-
gogues who propose to run the
state alliance movement or ruin it
and we further declare that the en-
tire outfit is in secret understanding
with the St. Paul old-party gang
who are making last desperate ef-
fort to prevent the farmers from rum
ming their own business! From the
appointment of Hall and LathrOp to
go on thousand dollar junketing
trip, after a conference with the gov
ernor, and without the action of the
alliance, down to yesterdays bout
with Toombs, Of Grant County, the
whole thing is but a scheme to join in
with the independent cry and work it
quietly into the channel prepared for
it.
This is sowing the seeds of dissen-
siOn2 Yes sir, it .is-such dissension
as will make the sweat start, if this
movement is placed in R. J. Halls
hands. But it won't be. When the
Special Meeting resolves itself into a
convention, Mr.. R. J. Hall will not
be the president OF that convention.
When the ring work was done for the
Fergus Falls convention the gang
was on deck-but when the work of
the loyal membership came into
play, the whole nest of demagogues
were sent a fishing, And so it will be
the coming meeting. 1t is one thing
to build rickety schemes; but the
farmers are in earnest now, and can
see the cloven foot which leaves it's
claw-marks on our public men.
Another thing: The finances OF
the Alliance. This Alliance, with it's
seven to nine hundred new alliances,
and it's almost nothing paid to dele
gates March 4th, ought to have two
thousand dollars in the Treasury
How much has it? Whatever may

Lorraine's Mustache on the Silver
Bill.

"The extinction of the public debt
will also extinguish the National
banking system and the circulation
medium which is furnished. This
will cause a contraction Of the cur
rency unless provided against. The

it will accomplish this and will fur
nish capital method by which the
needs and demands of the country
for a good sound currency can be

What Mr.. Lorraine wants to say
may be O. K.-but he don't say it
right. The silver bill, unfortunately,
