The Great West Fish.

with previous notice, DR.. Fish OF the
Great West newspaper, lectured at
the court house in this city, He was
introduced by G. Sax, president of the
Stevens County Alliance, who said
that the Doctor would talk about the
third party, or the Peoples party, as
it is now known. There was small
number present, about twenty-five
gentlemen, mostly farmers. The
speaker said he did not claim to be
farmer, neither was his father or moth
or farmers, nor his grandfather and
grandmother, he said, he was CONNER
cial man, brought up in tho city; had
been for five years connected with the
board of trade as buyers clerk. But
Notwithstanding this, he was in love
with the cause of the farmers that he
could not help talking about it. But
while weiwere present he said nothing
about the Peoples party, except the
great victory that party won in Kan
sas last year, before the Peoples par
ty was organized.
We wish to say right here that in
our opinion the Doctor is most in
teresting speaker and first class
orator. He has perfect Niagara
flow of words and has perfect COM
mand of the English language, and
at times was decidedly eloquent. He
gave tragic sketch of the rise and
fall of the Roman republic, which,
after an existance' of five hundred
years, went down in corruption and
was overrun and taken by the Cloths
and Vandals. Then he hitched into
the manner the Associated Press as
sociation reported the news for the
great dailies and then was sent to the
country papers in their plates and
patent insides." This association,
he said, was owned and controlled by
five of the richest men in the world.
The riches of Croesus were no where
compared with the riches of these
men, and of course they would not
allow any news in the interest Of the
laboring classes to be made known to
the world. He forgot, however, to
state that all such news of all other
decription was given in the special
dispatches to the daily papers of the
big cities.
Of course the Doctor did not fail to
picture in the darkest colors the dis
tressed condition of the farmers, with
their farms all covered over with the
black blankets of mortgages.
We listened to the Doctor for about
an hour, and then was obliged to
leave on account of a previous and
important engagement.
Our friend Erick Olson, the Alliance
colporteur, was present and busily
engaged distributing The State, the
St. Paul Alliance paper.
1t is quite probable that there would
have been more farmers present had
it not been for the fact that they be-
leved it to be more to their interest to
attend to the threshing of their magni
ficient crop Eof wheat than to listen to
anything the Doctor might say in re-
1ation to the distressed condition of
the farmers and the Importance or
forming a new party. F.
The following would indicate. that
there is still hope for the paral yzed.
Frank Cornelius, Purcell, Indian Ter.
says: II induced Mr.. Pinson, whose
wife had paralysis in the face, to try a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
To their great surprise, before the
bottle had all been used, she was a
great deal better. Her face had been
drawn to one side, but the pain balm
relieved all pain and soreness, and the
mouth assumed it's natural shape"
It is also unequalled for rheumatism,
lame back, sprains swellings and lame
ness. SO cent bottles for sale by F.
