sent in and the fire department called
out when the building was seen to have
been struck, but happily no fire was
started.
Under the heading shall it be gold
or silver CROP the st. Paul Pioneer
Press asks the farmers OF Minnesota and
the Dakotas what they want for the
Sl60,00oO00 worth of wheat they have
raised this year. Do they want to be
paid for il in deprecated silver dollars
worth about II cents in gold on the dol
lar? Which would certainly be the result
if the demand OF the silver barons for
free and unlimited coinage of silver was
complied with.

What is being done towards the holding
Of the county fair this year, Prepar-
alton for this event should be inangurated
at once If fair is to be held. A disposi-
ton is manifested by those who have here
tofore had the management OF the fair
TO let it 60 by default this year, as they
claim they arenot given the necessary
a;d and encouragement that they have
right te expect from exhibitors over the
county, and the work largely tails upon
q few. This should not be the case,
and we hope it will not be this year When
n snlendid exhibition of Grant county's
nroductlons can be had, il proper effort
is made.

thus help 10 sustain prices y VIII % 2
