more mouths to fetd--they

many farm necessities, they will nat

what is needed, even in the West.

and steel in all its forms of American
production in the place of English

astonishing. Only a few years ago
steel was worth 10 or Is cents

in these great Industries? It is true
that IL c investments have been
very profitable to them, and they
have made money thereby, and the
people of the country have also made
money by it. Now we buy our nails
at 2 cents a pound, we buy our steel
at from $50 to $33 a ton, and we buy
at a reduced rate all the articles ne
cessary for building purposes. There
is one hundred times as much angle or
structural iron now used in the con-
struction of building as was used
twenty years ago. The iron can now
be purchased at an astonishly low
price. To-day it is almost as cheap
to have iron joists or iron beams i'll
your house as to have wooden ones,
and when you consider the strength
of metal, the time will come when iron
and steel beams will be used in the
construction of all our houses. Is
not that a public benefit, shared in by

An Injured Emperor,

BERLIN. Sept. 19.-Emperor William was
thrown from his horse during the maneuv-
res near Amkiam. yesterday. and narrowly
escaped being crushed by the horses. The
Emperor was accompanied by his wal min
lister and by several members of the grand
general staff. He was riding at q gallop
through a field covered with high grass,
endeavoring to keep in view q cavalry
charge some distance ahead. With his
we'll arm he held q tield glass, while his
other ar hung helpless on the saddle. His
horse stumbled on the edge of 4 ditch,
concealed by the grass. and before the en-
peror could grasp the reins, bowled over.
The emperor was shot over the horses head.
The horse scrambled up, bounded directly
over the emperor and boited. The emperor
rose before the members OF his statt could
dismount to him. His coat Vas rent and
his Uniform was stained. but he had neither
bruise nor scratch. He ridiculed the
anxiety of his staff and reused TO take any
one OF the proffered hor.e. When his own
was caught he mounted and proceeded To
discharge his duty IS one of the empire.

Ralsinga Corruption Fund.

Information OF u thoroughly reli-

circulars have been sent out from
North Dakota, signed by j. d. Benton
to Democratic committees in Indiana
stating that the State had three cleo
toral votes and eff we have the prop
er amount of money at once, we can
secure those votes for Cleveland" Ac-
cording to this letter the thrifty Dem
ocrats and the pure and undefiled
bosses Of the third party are raising a
corruption fund with which the state
is to be carried for Cleveland. OF
course they will fail, for the people of
North Dakota are not ofthe kind that
can be bought. But the attempt is
being certainly made, doubtless with
out the knowledge of many independ-
ent followers. and they should be full
lyand thoroughly informed of the
coalition that has been madefor them
by their leaders, a coalition to secure,
as Mr.. Benton puts it, "thoss votes
