We imported last year over 49,

and have been doing so at this rate
Tor years. The total value OF all
farm products brought over the line
last year was over $18,6OO,OOO,
every dollar OF which could have
been produced in Minnesota and Civ
en $500 each to $4,000 farmers.
Eggs and poultry have always been

A WRITER in the Northwestern III
nancier offers this very wholesome
advice to the tillers OF the soil. It is
worth needing. Farmers stick to
your own business, which You under
stand. DO not go in debt, nor mort
gage your farm. II already mort
gagged, bend every energy to redeem
it; and do so no more. Borrowing
money to speculate, or 60 into some
scheme which you do not understand,
is delusion and a snare, and nine
times out OF ten will sink yourmoney
Beware OF the schemes proposed by
some OF the Alliances to regulate the
country and cure all ills. Keep your
money. Look out for yourself. your
wife and children"

lows to the SHEAF: II am vet n
member OF the Alliance but think
shall not stay there very long. l be.
gin to believe that within the Ali.
ance will be fostered the worst ring
politics. this country has ever seen.
The leaders in the Alliance are such
as hare never been entrusted with
an Office from neither the Democratic
or Republican parties, and they
grasp the situation to pump the
farmers for all they are worth.
Every Alliance man must pay trib-
ute to the Alliance and it will often
happen that farmers will pay out
money for helping rascals into Office. y

The Banner last week says that
those authorized to take final proofs
in this county have been charging
$500 for each proof, while according
TO law only 1925 or $3.50 can be-
charged. The Banner thereby not
only casts reflections on the present
Clerk OF Court and Judge OF Probate
but also upon their predecessors il,
Office. The SHEAF hns interviewed
several Of the gentlemen interested,
and they say that they have neve,
been notified Of any change in tfn
law governing fees in making fim,l
proof, and have charged according
to the old law. and furthermore they
shy that the fees stated III the Ban
ner are not for II completed proof.
There is considerable otherwork con
nected with proof in looking after
it and seeing it through for which
they have a right to charge. Eight
dollars is n reasonable charge, they
say, and if parties were compelled to
go to Crookston and bring witnesses
there it would cost them many times
more

The Republican State League con-
vention held in Minneapolis last week
was a very enthusiastic and harmon
ious gathering and demonstrated
fully that the Republican party is not
dead yet. More than 500 delegates
from clubs all over the state were
present. John Day Smith presided
over the convention. The State
League was re-organized and new
officers elected The work of organ
ization will be pushed until every
town, village and school district
shall have 4 club where Republican
principles will be discussed, yes more,
where these principles will be formu-
lated and the. policy OF the party
shaped. The Republican party must
draw it's inspiration from the ranks
OF the common people. The banquet
which was rendered the members Of
visiting clubs at Masonic Temple was
q grand affair. Speeches were made
by Gov. Merriam, Hon. Lester Of
Illinois and others. Among the del
egates chosen to represent Minneso-
ia at the National League conven-
ton in Cincinnati next month is Mr..

lection was a just recognition OF this

served compliments to Mr.. Winchester

From cline 50 all unsuited,
To 4 fairer home he fled,
There he basks IN endless glorv.

That our hearts no sOlace find.
Broken. bruised. torn, bleeding,
Blasted all its fOndest hopes.
And our souls Overwhelmed in sorrow,
EaInly through the darkness gropes.
Would ono ray OF light but choer us.

Understood the will Of God
Why so often lie commanded,

Could We look beyond the Jordan.
Penetrate the bliss above.

Yet they live beyond the sky.
Yes our little ones are sleeping.
Sleeping their last drexmless sleep,
While the stars, far. far above them,
Nightly vigils o'er, them keep.

CRooKsTON was the scene OF an
exciting trial last week. 1t will be
remembered that Horace Russell, OF
Fisher, in fit OF jealousy, shot DR..
Bahnson OF Crookston last summer.
The defence set up was insanity and
self defence. During the trinl it was
proved that the doctor had seduced
the prisoners wife. Attorney General
Clapp conducted the prosecution in
an able manner and the defence was
not less ably coducted by Attorney
STEVENSON. Stcenelson's closing
argument to the jury occupied two
and one half hours in delivery, and
is spoken ofas mastery effort. The
jury returned a verdict OF acquittal,
making Russell a free man. The
verdict is generally approved. A
man who hampers with the affections
OF anothcr's wife does so at his own
risk.

better and no worse than many leg

to pursue the same dilly dallying
policy. Unless work is pushed more
rapidly it will adjourn without hay
ing accomplished any remedial legis-

sparing in it's criticism because it
has believed and still believes that in

A Loss of a Million.

New YoRK, Dec. 23.--The Abyssinia
sarried nineteen saloon passengers,
grew of eighty. and thirty-six steerage
1assengers. The latter were almost
without exception Swedes and Norwe-
Eians from the west, who were going
ever to see their friends and families
and spend the holiday season in the
fatherland.
The Abyssinia was built for the Cum
ard line by the Thompsons of Glasgow,
Scotland, in 1870. She was 1868 feet long,
40 feet inches beam, and "a feet depth
OF hold, having registered tonnage Of
2,347 tons and gross tonnage of 1851
tons. She was rated es Al, and counted
as ono of the Cunnrd lines crack steam
ers. For the past five years sho has been
running between Vancouver, B. C., and
Hong Kong as one of the Canadian Pa
cific line steamers, and this was her first
regular trip for the Guion line since then.
The cargo carried by the Abyssinia
was the largest and probably the most
valuable she had ever taken out of this
port. The value of the goods is not
plated by the shippers in the bills Of
hiding, but o conservative estimate
Aaces the loss on goods at $750,000.
1he vessel was valued at $3.50, 900, max
hg the total loss 81 100000.
