The reports flying about E1-
Senator John J. Ingalls, and his
pecuniary matters differ widely,
some being to the effect that he ia
very poor and others that he ia
quite rich. We do not know that
it is anybody's concern but his
own, whether he is worth little or
much property, unless he asks help
or credit of them. The latest re-
port, however, is from a Kansas
man at Washington, who says:
"John j. Iugalls is worth over
>6oo,0oo! He is getting richer
every day and ought to have no
quarrel with the Creator ON that
score. As Tor being Z statesman
out of a job he should quarrel only
with himself. He was too proud
to stoop down low enough to shake
hands with the farmers who had
stood by him for 18 long years and
they concluded that Ingalls, needed
a rest and gave it to him. As for
being out of job he has only to
announce in any city, village or
hamlet that he will lecture or maxi
a speech and people will flock to
hear him from every quarter. He
is is the ablest orator of this gen.
GRAFTON, mainly because he is an
elocutionist and can say things bet-
ter than others; not that he saws
better things. He is pre-eminent-
ly An orator, more orator than
states"

sANBORN.

Farmers on the south side are rest
less and anxious about getting their
seed into the ground. They think their
granary is poor place for their seed
grain at this time in April. A few of
the rustlers we're in their fields away
back in March and quite good deal
of grain was sown on the ground in
spots, but that don't show up good
farmer judgment. Last year large
part of the wheat was put in March
and it was poor crop. AS rule the
earliest sown grain is the best, but not
every season. Now this crop will go
in later than at other times, but if the
farmers are diligent and put their
grain in the ground instead of on it
then with a fair grain season, the
prospect is good.
Farmers on this side are buying lots
of new farm implements. Our village
is running three blacksmith ps,and
three different parties are handling
farm machinery.
A new barber shop has just opened
up.
G. E. Armstrong is getting the lum-

his eyes, pronounce them perfectly i'm

NEW SHOES.

Having decided to put in an ex-
elusive stock of Boots and Shoes in
the City of Redwood Falls, 1 would
respectfully invite the publec to call
and examine our stock, which we have
already received, and which is now
being opened in the building one door
west of Aune & Tunes. Our stock
is new and fresh from the factory, and
in buying I put forth every effort to
buy the very best qualities of stock
that to be found. It is complete
in every line, and our chi]ds', misses
and ladies' fine shoes are not to be beat
en- and our mems working shoes are
the very best. The stock was all
bought for cash, so that we get cash
discount of 7 per cent, and as our ex-
penses are very low I propose to sell a
better grade of goods at little closer
price and share the benefits with my
trade.
Extending toyou cordial invitation
to call in and reason with me at your
earliest convience, l am,

Bonds for FIGURING Mills.

A number OF bills have been intro
duced authorizing western counties to
vote bonds for Touring mills. The whole
matter including the constitutionality of
such legislation was referred to the judi
ciary committee and they have made the
following report:
A number of bills have been intro
duced to aut horize municipalities out in
western Kansas to vote bonds for the
erection Of Touring mills. The question
of the constitutionality of such laws was
raised and the matter was referred to the
judiciary committee, which presented a
report yesterday. The report says:
"While the policy of issuing bonds for
any purpose is doubtful, yet, in the west
ern part of the state of Kansas the rails
ing of wheat seems to be their great
staple, and without Touring mills the
great distance from market makes the
wheat comparatively valueless. II, by
the building of grist mills, and the con-
vertipg of this wheat into -four, aid can
be given the farmers of the west, it
should be done. if constitutional; on this
question there has been some doubt as to
the power of the legislature, but In the
case of the Township of Burlington vs.
Beasley, in the circuit court of the Unit
States for the district of Kansas, and
which went to the supreme court on
error, and is reported in 81 us. a Otto),
Justice Hunt, delivering the opinion of
the court, held that bonds issued by a
town of the state of Kansas to aid in the
construction and equipment Of steam
custom mill, owned by an individual,
were authorized by the statnte, under
that provision of our laws authorizing
towns and counties to issue bonds for
the purpose of building bridges, or to
aid in the construction of railroads,
water power, or other works OF internal
improvement. The supreme court having
sustained the constisutionality Of bonds
of this kind, when issued to aid In build
ing grist mills whose owners or occupiers
grind or offer to grind for toll or pay,
does not leave this an open question.
The court says it is a reasonable con-
struction of that statute to hold that aid
to this mill is aid to the public work,
within its meaning, and that the con-
struction and equipment of the steam
prist mill was an internal improvement.

Business Mems, Literary.

The Business Mems Literary was held
as usual last Tuesday evening in the Of
fee of w. E. Saum. The question debat-
ed was in substance: Resolved that the
government should own and control
railroads, telegraph lines and telephones"
G. A. Hoar and c. E. Cosby spoke on the
affirmative and N. W. Shuler and A. FL
Blair on the negative. The judges were
F. s. Diebold, W. e Saum and s. R. Cow
lex and their decision stood two for the
affirmative and one for the negative. The
debate was spirited and good on both
sides and after the decision of the judges
quite a lively sentimental dicussion en-
sued. John A. Nelson was chairman Of
the evening and filled the position admir-
ably. Prof. Crooks was critic and gave
the society some very good hints.
A number OF amendments were intro
duced, which according to the rules,
must lay over two weeks before being
passed upon. When they are called up
there will probably be some emusic in the
air."
The society changes the presiding Off
Ger every night thus giving each member
an opportunity to handle the gavel and
be addressed as "Mr. Chairman A priv
ilege that is not particularly desired by
some as the society occasionally patterns

pected to debate whethery you have made
any preparation for it or not.

continue these meetings indefinitely and
we would not be surprised if they were
kept up all summer.
The prohibition question will be dis
cussed next Tuesday evening.

Letter from Senator Plumb.

UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, D. c. Feb. II, 81.
J. Word Carson Rsq,
DEAR sIR:-I am in due receipt of
your favor Of the 7th, covering petit
tons, which will duly present to the
senate. There is no possibility, however,
that the prayer of the petitioners can be
granted at the present session of Con-
gress. I do not know whether I have
written you fully about this matter, but
the fact is that Congress has deliberately
set itself against any appropriation for ir-
rigation except in the direction of surface
investigation. 1t was hard to get even
that. Those who represent farmers
Of the Eastern, Middle, and in
fact, most of the Western States, said
they did not want to have revenue used
to make competition in an agricultural
way; and in addition to that there are a
great many who say that Congress has no
authority to use the public money to help
the farmers of one section more than
those of another. 1 have labored in the
strongest possible way to change the sit
uation, but substantially without avail.
1t may be that when the report of those
who are now investigating is made some
thing can be done. but at present there is
no chance, as in fact there is scarcely any
time left for anything Of importance which
has not heretofore been reported favor
ably from committee.
Truly Yours,
p Drurp
