WHEAT QUOTATIONS.

- Mrs. John Linlberg returned
home Saturday, and John is happy :!
= Miss Amelia Ostrom, OF Mime
apolis, was among the arrivals on
Saturday morning. She will make
an extended visit among relatives
and friends in Warren and vicinity.
We went up to Argyle on Tues
day to hear Donnelly's right hand
man, Fish, speak to the farmers. On
the train going up we heard the gen
tleman upbrnid some of the faithful
for not advertising his meeting prop
rrlv. The fact, that this was Il busy
time for the farmers did not cut any
figure with him. He expected, OF
course, that The i,1 mers should stop
threshing to go and hear him who
! was known lll over the continent, as
he expressed it. Well, the doctor
commenced his wild llaran%ue at tie
school house in the afternoon with
half Il dozen hearers and finished up
with about Il dozen, the majority OF
them either republicans or demo
I,crats. 1t must he admitted that the
"doctor' is gifted by nature with !,
certain amount OF Cab, and he pro
ceedp,l to dish ont one fish" story
after the other, for the editication OF
the ",lear people" He made the
most wild and absurd statements
without one scintila Of truth about
them.
Here are few samples Of his lies.
He stated that there are eight mill
ion OF basement poor in the United
Sta tes, and three million trnmps.
He did not explain what a "base.
ment poor is. but it must evidently
he a person who lives in a basement,
in n story underground-a person
too poor to live on top Of the
ground. More than one-eighth OF the
entire population OF this country
consequently live in easements under
the ground like gophers notwitl.
standing we have so much vacant
room on top Of the ground on oul
boundless pr;,ires. Why, the state
ment is so absurd and false, that it

Il dull cOmpre tension who does not
see it is Il Iic.. And then there are
three million tra nps (including the
''dOctnr' we presnme). a tramp is
generally Il full grown person, and 4
male. According to that about one
fourth OF the entire adult male pop
ultion in tlte Uuited States belong tt
the tramp fraternity. \ lie it is, an,
he knows it! There are some tramp.
OF course, but the majority of then
do not want to work. Sometimes
they come around these parts in Ilar
vest time when farmers need men til,
worst kind and offer ~. so II lnyant
board and yet these same individu
ais sny they can not find any worl
to do. The long and short OF it is
that they hate to work. Anothe
statement that he made was tl,a
| there are 23 million families in thi
country who do not send their clil
drcn to school. Now there are oni,
about ! 4 million ianliiies in tin
United States SO he changed tnatil

nlntion that do not send their clil
