This is the heaviest item of produc,

paid for picking has been IS cents

THE deal whereby Dodge county is
given the control of the state prison
by the appointment of ''Pard" Lam
oreux as warden, is explained as fol-
lows: AS an original proposition
Dodge county was not for Peck In the
last Democratic state convention. In
the midst of the proceedings Peck was
strained for help to pull him through,
and in this dilemma a council was
held in which the LamoreuXes were
potent. Judge Lamoreux, with the
Dodge county delegates in his pocket,
came out fat-footed with the propo-
sition that if Peck would give Dodge
county the management of the state
prison, he peck could have the
Dodge county delegation. Up to this
time the Milwaukee candidate for
governor was ignorant of the fact
that the governor had control of the
Waupun wardenship, but hewas soon
enlightened on the subject, and there
and then the dicker was made and
Dodge county became a firm sup
porter of Peck.

IF you believe that the merefa fact Of
our buying more of English mill own
ers will in itself induce English grain
merchants to buy more American
wheat, you are laboring under a delu-
sion. The grain merchant has very
little sentiment about him and gets his
wheat where he can get it the cheapest.
You have only to glance at the rec
ord of England's purchases of wheat
in recent years to beconvinced of this.
Russia has an almost prehibitive
tariff, is an old and always hated
enemy of England and buys only one
sixth as much from England as we do;
yet to-day Russian wheat is in undis-
puted control Of the English market
In 1889, according to the Statesman
Year Book" England bought only
1903, 25O quarters ofour wheat, and
1858, 355 quarters from Russia.
These facts ought to convince you
that it is price alone which determines
the grain merchants purchases, and
that the only hope American farmers
can have of selling more wheat to Eng
land is to sell it more cheaply than
the Russian offers his wheat. You
cannot dodge this conclusion

FROM letter by Elaine Goodale,
at Pine Ridge: II helped to bring the
prisoners into the church on the Eight
of the battle, and it was an experience
that can never be forgotten. One
young woman, perhaps 20 years of
age, in whom we have all been pecul-
iarly interested, was literally torn to
pieces by the bullets: breast, shout
ders, hip, arm and leg were all injured.
We thought her dying, but she still
lives, a marvel of pluck and endur
ance When she was brought in she
still wore the sacred whiterobe of the
ghost dancers, pitted in several places
and bedaubed with her blood. Blood
stained feathers chung to her matted
hair, and the CHASTITY face, with its
clear-cut Roman features, was smear
ed with paint. AS the doctor bent
oyer her and began to cut away the
dress, she opened her eyes and said:
Yes, take it off, the sacred robe; it is
a worthless thing. They told me it
would keep off the bullets of the white
men. -
