Then the following resolutions were
passed condemning the Pioneer-Press
for it's heroic attitude in standing by
the highway robbers and against the
people:
Whereas, The, Pioneer Press, OF
St. Paul, has earnestly endorsed the
recent decision of the United States
Supreme court in regard to the pow

rates for transportation as just and
right; and has exulted in the victory
Of the corporations and has persist

Resolved, That we urge the farm
ers to support only those newspapers
that clearly and positively stand by
them in the great battle for their
rights.
One of the most important moves
was to take the wind out of the
sails of q company known as the
Hekla ms. Co., and one Of it's agents
who was combining Scheffer and Al

Inc FARMERS w dfenOuSe Co., OF
Franklin, have orders to move their
warehouse off the R. r. grounds.
T4ey (the farmers) propose to let
the r. r. Co. move it. If they do
not want it on their grounds they
can shoulder the responsibility. One
OF the objections Truesdale offered
for not allowing warehouse to be
built on their grounds was there
were more elevators and warehouses
already at Franklin than were prov
ing profitable. Had he said ''pro-
fitable to farmers he would have
been consistent in his statement.
1t is a notorious fact there are men
in this county who have been buying
wheat of the farmers on a salary of
from so to $75 per month, and in
less than five years have bought
two or three farms, and paid for
them, besides building and improv-
ing village property, with expensive
buildings, when in most instances the
buyers had nothing when they COM
menced buying wheat-in two in
stances had not enough money to
pay for lodging and breakfast. One
party slept in a barn, in order to
save his last remaining quarter to
pay for his breakfast with. Three
parties in this county who came here
with simply a breakers outfit, such
as two span of mules, wagon and
pillow, are now prominent bankers in
this county, having banks in two
towns, and have been money loaners
for several years. They were wheat
buyers at q salary for three or four
years.

General Malone, who passed through this

here Yesterday TO a hardware store for a
lot of mining implements, and the report

The white Republicans Of this Congress
siOnal district do not much relish the idea
Of w. ii. Peasants, the cOlOred saloon
keeper. of Danyille, becoming Republican
candidate for Congress. IL was their orr
ginal intention not 10 call convention, but
since il seems probable that Peasants VIII
be a candidate the chairman OF the District
Committee has called a meeting OF the COM
mittee in this city tomorrow TO consider the
nate candidate. Peasants is member OF
the committee. and as he knows he would
stand no chance for the nomination, he VIII
OF course oppose a convention The other
members Of the committee are white men
from the western part OF the dlstrlct.
Peasants saws he will take no steps until
after the committee meeting, and the pre-
sumption is that if no convention is called.
he will at once announce himself as an in
dependent cOlOred Republican.
