As a result of this arrangement over 80
per cent of the blankets imported were
OF the very finest grade. costing so cents
a pound and over. Such blankets as are
used by people OF ordinary incomes were
almost entirely excluded.
The treasury figures show that of the
four grades of blankets listed above, the
first cost % cents pound without the
tax. 81 cents a pound with the tax added;
the second 80 cents pound without the
tax, "A cents pound tax added; the third
46 cents pound without the tax, SO

cents a pound without the tax, S1.63 tax

Under the Mckinley bill a good ordi
nary blanket, worth between 40 and so
cents a pound, is taxed S106 on every
dollar of its value. The house passed a
bill reducing the blanket tax from this
outrageous rate to % per cent. but this
bill went with the rest to the pigeonholes
of the republican senate.

The Blanket Tax.


From October 1. 1890, to June 80, 1891 i,
80 ,O17 pounds of blankets were imported
under the Mckinley bill. Their original
cost was S23 ,439; their cost with the Nc
Kinley tax added was S43. 301.
1t will be seen that the tax was vir>
tusllY prohibitory. Mckinley now claims
that the foreigner pays the tax" Here
is case-one of huudreds-where the
tax is made so high that Americans are
not allowed to buy goods from foreigners
who pay the tax" Only the best
grades of blankets could be imported
under the tax, for, as will be seen from
this official table, the lowest tax is i'm
posed on the finest grade. the higher

Beware of Swindling Cloth Peddlers

W ~
Cloth peddlers are again at work
in this county and have succeeded in
victimizing number of citizens in
the southern part Of the county. It
seems that warnings do little good,
but the frauds they practice should
be exposed. Farmers may be assur-
ed that agents could not traverse the
country and sell goods as cheaply as
can the established houses ofvillages
and cities, and purchasers always
have cause to regret any deals made
with them. The plan is to dispose
OF from 1915 to $500 worth, taking a
note for the amount. That much
money will buy lots Of dry goods at
present prices, and the buyer is cas-
lily deceived as to the value OF the
goods supplied. AS general rule
the same goods, or better; could be
bought from regular dealers at one
half the price. but the buyer allows
himself to be deceived by these pro-
fessional swindlels, who make bus
mess of peddling their inferior goods
to farmers. The salesman are
Smooth" to h perfect degree, but it
is a certainty that they are not CIV
ing anyone square deal. If any
person can't resist buying from then,
he should give cash, and under no
circumstances allow his note to get
into their possession. If cash is paid
u man can be swindled to only a
limited extent, but a note may under
go some alarming changes before
some innocent purchaser offers it fol
| collection.

Death of John X. Smith.

After battling for over three days
with the grim messenger, John K
Smith, who was kicked Saturday
evening by vicious horse, gave up
the fight this afternoon and has
gone to his reward. This mo rning
Drs. Groves and Camp, Of Brainerd,
were called in consultation with the
regular physicians, Drs. Fortier and
Egan, and though they had no
hopes of his recovery, an operation
was decided upon. The knife show.
ed that the cruel hoof had ruptured
several of the intestines and that
gangrene had set in. Mr.. Smith was
given opiates and suffered no pain
during the operation, but died soon
after it was performed. Everything
that medical skill and loving hands
could do to prolong life was done
but to no avail and he died as stated
Besides his family his wife's sister,
Mrs. Lunt, of Wadena, was with
him during his illness. Besides his
wife he leaves two children, one
about three years old and the other
but a few months. Mr.. Smith was
Mason in good standing and his
funeral will probably occur under
the auspices of that order.
John K. Smith was head miller ut
the Little Elk mills, and ha d former
ly been connected before it's destruc-
ton by fire, with the Little Falls roll
er mills in this city and was as near
as we are able to learn about IS
years OF age. He was a man IN the
fullest sense of the word and his
death will he mOurned by a large
circle of warm friends in Little Falls
and vicinity.

Just before the adjournment of the

agains the city permitting the run

In the first place he did not like the
idea OF himself paying the city a
license fee of $500 and the house be-
ing allowed to sell beer at u great
deal more exhOrbitant rate still pay
no license. He further charged the
proprietors with numerous robber-
les and said that the inmates were
allowed too many liberties of the
street and public entertainments.
His remarks were seconded by
other aldermen and the mayor was
promised, if the nuisance was not
abatcd, to hear something drop.

The high waters on the small
streams have done much damage to
bridges in this county, particularly
in the towns of-Swan River and Two
Rivers. The bridge across Swan
river near O'Donnell's has been
washed out, and the culvert just
north Of the bridge across the same
stream near the old Clyde place was
swept away, SO that Il crossing can
not be made at that place.. The
bridge across Two Rivers near Milo
Young's gave away to the freshet,
and at least two bridges across small
streams in Two Rivers town have
disappeared.

The high water did considerable
damage to loggers' improvements on
the streams in the eastern part OF the
country. The two Muncey dams on
Platte below Rice lake suffered, the
one short distance above ROyalton
being washed out week ago, and
the one at the foot of Rice lake,
and which controlled the head in
that body OF water, had one end
washed away on last Saturday even
ing, and the water is now flowing
through a channel forty feet wide at
one end of it. Both these dams were
built to control water in the inter-
ests of drivers, and the owner receiv-
ed a toll upon all logs going down the
stream. The flood caused by the re-
lease Of water from these dams came
near taking away the one at the
Royalton flour mill. buchanan had
about Is, 0OO,0 900 feet Of logs held in
Rice lake, and if he had not succeeded
in holding them from going down
with the flood ull the improvements
on the river would probably have
been taken away. The three dams
on Skunk brook were ''blown," but
they were not very substantial af-
fairs, although they had withstood
the freshets Of several seasons. The
"Pine Knoll" dam ON Hilman came
down river, but the others on the
same stream are safe.

a lovely white dress of cream white
silk trimmed with lace, with a white
tulle veil falling gracefully to the

she was a picture OF loneliness, ad-
