The Spring,

OF all seasons of the year, is the one for
making radical changes IN regard to
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to a certain extent clog
ged with waste, and the blood loaded
with impurities, owing to the lack Of ex-
ercise, close confinement IN poorly VEN
tilated shops and homes, and other
causes. This is the cause Of the dull,
sluggish, tired feeling SO general at this
season, and which must be overcome, or
the health may be entirely broken down.
Hoods Sarsaparllla has attained the
greatest popularity all over the country
pels the accumulation Of impurities
through the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs
and skin, gives to the blood the purity
and quality necessary to good health and
ovecomes that tired feeling.

A Word to Farmers.

JIG. Moore in Darlington lndepend-
ent: Summer failow your land. Com
mence the first of July and plow three
and one-half inches deep. Stop plowing
the 18th of August, and then level the
land with drag. Do not drag land in
the spring as it will dry out and blow
away. There will be a crust on the
ground in the spring and the more crust
the better, as it will keep the soil moist.
The weeds that grow on the crust will be
weak and the wheat will soon smother
them ont. Let the shoes of your drill
90 down to hard land If you can. The
more you stir the land in the spring the
less wheat you will have. This is my
experience and observation.

A Sykeston Man Talks.

Clerk of court, w. L. Sanford of Wells
county, was in the city Friday. He sa! &
Sykeston needs a good doctor, and the
commissioners would be willing to turn
over $4OO,to $500 worth of business year
tosuch man. Also they need a druggist
and drug store, harness maker and
shoe cobbler. Mr.. Sanford is democrat
in politics, and by occupation a farmer,
besides an old time resident. He thinks
the tendency Of county politics in this
state is to seek the independent out let
for the correction of local abuses.
In years of good crops the North Dakc :
ia farmer he says, has other fish to fry and
does not care much how the elections 60,
voting generally with the old party to
which he has always belonged. In short
crop years, the small store keeper gets
too MUCK from the crop, the stock of
goods is small, the prices high, the tax
billis paid with specially hard kick, and
the elevator exactions are mere easily
discernable. There is a general kick
But farmers are getting better informed,
they will take more interest in politics in
the future, will he more careful who they
send to the Legislature and inspect the
records closer of men nominated to fill
the offices. Referring to prohibition he
said respbmission ticket, on which q
good man was running would probably
be elected in Wells county, although
that county went dry before. This is
owing TO the fact that whiskey comes in
ANYHOW and no revenue is derived. Local
option and high license are the only
practical expedients to adopt in this
state, IN Mr.. Sanford's opinion. Last
week the Sykeston depot was broken
open and lot of villianous whiskey
shipped in jugs from Moorhead, stolen
and drank. The stuff nearly killed one
man, and it was necessary to put hlm in
hot water to bring him to consciousness.

About City and County Bridges.
The commissioners are advertising for
proposals for an iron truss bridge, to be
placed across the Pipestem river in place
of the old bridge, that has been rendered
impossible by the action Of the ice on
the piles. The commissioners reserve
the right to reject any bids, and the
matter will doubtless be we'll considered
before any contract IS let. There will
probably be difference of opinion as to
the policy of putting IN an iron bridge
when wooden one might answer for the
present. 1t is claimed that in the end
the iron bridge will be the cheaper and
some of the taxpayers are IN favor of the
latter, but others think the expense too
large for one bridge, owing to the
amount of bridge work necessary to be
done in the county soon. It Is said that
a we'll built pile bridge can be put in for
about half the price of an IRON truss. A
representative of a bridge firm was here
Wednesday from Minneapolis, and, from
his figures, it is said that 70 foot span
bridge is considered the best plan il an
iron bridge is seleDted. The piers to be
of piles encased in iron and flied with
cement. The present bridge is old and If
repaired this year might have to be taken
down again next. The necessity of hav
ing bridge strong enough for engines
to cross on. is apparent. Several of the
bridges IN the city and county are not
considered safe for threshing engines. It
is also said that an action for damages
could be successfully maintained against
the city in case of accident, at at least
two of the bridges across the river. As
far as pile bridges 80 the railroad com
pany find no trouble with them. The
piles are driven deep enough 70 hold,
and are not heaved by ice. Pile bridges
all over the division are in use, and give
satisfaction. But whatever is selected as
the best and cheapest 1t is evident the
county will have to expend some money
this year for bridges, and the city as
wall.

The Contest Under Ballot Reform.

The Contest Under Ballot Reform.
The editor Of the Century calls atten-
tion to the fact that this years presiden-
tial election is the first national contest
to take place under the Australian ballot
system. At the polls Of every northern
and western state except Iowa, Kansas,
Nevada and Idaho, the votes will be cast
according to the new ballot reform
methods. In all the doubtful" states
the new system will discourage bribery
and intimidation. In % states in all,
voters cannot be safely bought or sue
cessfully 'bulldozed.'
This means that the canvass must be
conducted on radically reformed basis.
The appeal must be made to the will and
intelligence Of voters, rather than to their
pockets or their fears. Money will
not be omnipotent. The ballot will
be protected in it's secrecy. Candi-
dates Of sterling merit and popular
lty will win over those whose chief
qualifications are "barrels" Campaign
managers OF new stamp will be IN
demand. Managers who can read and
satisfy the popular views and needs will
be necessary, rather than experts at buy
ing and manipulating the floating vote.
In fact the occupation of the ''hoater''
and the ward "heeler" and STRIKER" will
largely be gone. The great fight of the
campaign, as never before, will be fought
on the public forum and in the columns
OF the press. It will be campaign OF
stump speeches, editorials, brass bands
and PROFESSIONS, rather than campaign
OF button-holing and two dollar votes.
The prospect is certainly encouraging
to all lovers of political purity and
popular government. The poor man
in such campaign may stand even
a better show than his rich opponent,
when purely the sentiment and con-
victlon of the masses decide the day

SEED WHEAT TEST.

Much Doubt Expressed as to It's
Value.
Referring to the tests made at the
state agricultural college with wheat
taken from stack and from shock, Pro-
fessor Bolley says regarding the germina-
ton: Last threshing season was a damp
one, much grain was threshed wet and
stored damp. AS consequences, much
sbln scalded"or "bin burned" wheat is to
be found throughout the country. Again,
much wheat has been threshed from the
shock this spring. This wheat has been
almost constantly wet and subject to
freezing and thawing. Before using
either of these described classes of wheat
for seed, the farmer should think twice
During the past two weeks have
tested the terminating capabilities Of
something over half hundred samples
of i'll looking seed wheats-givins each
sample three seperate tests. These
wheats came to the experiment station

"frosted before NATURE" etc. In so far
as the work done will allow of the draw
ing OF conclusions, it may be stated that
il is unsafe to take any chances upon
seed grain that has been cheated" in
the bin. Several such samples have
failed to germinate at all and in most
cases the sprouting has been SO slow and
feeble as not to be depended upon under
the least unfavorable conditions. -Four
samples only Of wheat threshed from
shock this spring have been sent in
each of these were total failures -germi-
mating less than 20 per cent in either case
and those weak and slow IN starting.
These wheats we're plump but bleached.
Wheats fairly matured, but frosted be-
fore harvest, have been found to germi-
nate fair percentage OF fairly strong
plants provided, dry at date Of threeh-
ing and otherwise properly handled.
Gram threshed this spring from properly
constructed stacks is in good condition
for seed, provided mature at harvest and
dry since that time.

City Ministers Adopt Resolutions Embody-
ing Their Ideas-Wearing Mourning.
The attention of the ministers, ut their
regular monthly meeting, yesterday, at Y.
NJ. &. A. Hall, was consumed for q consid-
cradle time in the discussion of certain
formula regulating funeral services.
Following in the wake of that epidemic
of modernisms that has swept through
Chicago, Cincinnati and other large cities
recently. the ministers, after considerable
discussion, adopted the following resolu-
tions. which shall, as nearly as possible.
govern the formalities of these lamented
occasions in the future. where the work of
the ministers is especially concerned:
That there be, ordinarily, no public invitation
to funerals.
That no funeral be held on Sunday when it is
possible TO avoid il.
That attending friends view the remains, If at
all. as they enter, and that the casket be closed
Immediately upon the conclusion of the services.
That a service may besregarded as ordinarily
complete which consists of the reading OF
Scripture selections and prayer, and thai 1t may
u TRR aGP oniy s SUasi persons as a om nEaas; rhe remains
to the grave as may be personally requested to
do SO.
That needless expense. whether of carriages,
flowers, OF other matters, be avoided.
That it be remembered that Christian senti-
ment Is not In accord with the practice, 20 which
some have felt constrained TO conform, of adopt
ing heavy mourning costumes after the death OF
friends.
That in arranging the time for funerals the
minister, as far as possible. be consulted.
There was nothing embodied in the reso-
luti0ns against the execution of dismal
funeral marches by still more dismal brass
bands on inclemont Sunday afternoons.
The Rev. W.. Z. Taylor objected to the
clause resolving that In view of the null
tiplied and exacting ministerial engage
ments, pastors be not requested to go to
the cemetery. and held that the mourn
ers were often greatly sOiaced by
his presence at such q time.
Rev. w. +. Hendrickson was willing TO re-
serve for the people the right to wear
mourning after the death of their relatives
or friends If they so desired. Rev. A. K.
Steck read a paper on Pulpit Skepticism."
and was of the opinion that too many min
listers were surprised after they had prayed
for the conversion Of souls If one was con-
verted. The subject was thoroughly dis
cussed.

Chicago Mail (Dem)
The race in 1882 will he. as it was in 1883,
between Harrison and Cleveland. Presi-
dent Harrison has given the country a
clean. vigorous, dignitied and suDremely
honest nd ministratiOn. upon which every
American, no matter what his politics may
be. must look with pride. The Nation has
been happy in his hands; its honor has been
safeguarded; it's progress has been sure.
On the other hand the one Democratic
possibility. Grover Cleveland, has proved
himself equally honest, equally safe.
equally statesmanlIke. Character for
character, they are both good men, with
high purposes. magnificent records. and a
steady and proved loyalty to the American
idea. Only the rancOr of partisanshIp and
the bitterness of politics could make men of
either party deny the conspicuous worth OF
the leader of the other.
General Harrison Ia an ideal Republican.
Mr.. Cleveland is an ideal Democrat. Each
of them believes in his political creed as
the one saving faith. but each of them holds
that there is something higher than party
and that is the common veal. The one is a
prudent. cautious, palnstaklng leader, W hO
thinks closely and determines slowly, but
who. having once made up his mind. Is mex.
orablea and immutable. He Is a conserva-
finching moral and physical courage.
Cleveland. with the same courage. is neither
rs prudent nor as polite. He follows his
convictions not alone as far as 1t is neces-
sary, but sometimes very much further.
Several times they have carried him far in
front of his party's skirmish lines and left
him alone among his enemies. HIS silver
letter is a case in point. Grant that 1t is all
true. still there was no need for it. 1t was
bad politics.
