SOME cranks are jumping onto
Mayor Eustis, of Minneapolis, be-
cause he displayed too much zeal
in ferreting out the murderers Of
Catherine Cling. 1t was one of
the most brutal, cold blooded MUIR
der ever perpetrated in the North
west, and Mayor Eustis was justi-
fed in resorting to extreme meas
ures to discover the guilty parties.

THE State fair managers started
in to have the fair for 1894 with
the small amount of 1922. 22 in the
treasury as available funds. The
fair of 1894 was a good one,
everything past off smoothly, the
attendance was large and the man
ayers find, for this year, a balance
of $2,649.21 to begin operations
for the fair of 1895. The fair of
1895 will probably eclipse any fair
hitherto held.

TODD COUNTY argus: There
seems to be considerable opposi-
ton to Washburn cropping out in
various parts of the State. So far
we have heard OF no candidate we
would rather support than Mr..
Washburn. The fact that he is
from one of the cities IS no argu-
ment against him.

DULUTH Commonwealth: Most
of the suggestions made of candi-
dates to run against Washburn
are no improvement on Washburn
himself-and some of the men
named would not be as good.
What would be the use of displac-
ing him to elect a corporation at
torney or pine land operator in
his stead?

REPRESENTATIVE LYNCH,

REPRESENTATIVE LYNCH, OF
Wisconsin, has introduced a bill
for the relief of those who suffered
in the terrible forest fires that
swept through Michigan, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin last summer
and fall. The bill provides that
the scorched timber may be cut,
heirs may make final proof and
those who were actually occupying
the lands at time of fire may have
two years for final proof. 1t is a
humane measure and it should
pass without any opposition.

talking of closing their stores at 7:3O

It has been noted by some of our
merchants that small articles, and
some not so small, have mysteriously
disappeared from their places, on the
tables or counters. This pilfering has
got to be a nuisance, and those who
are guilty of such contemplate thiev-

trouble. The methods that one or, two
of the merchants intend to follow here
after, on busy days, will be surprise

DIVERSIFIED. INDUSTRIES
Are Needed to Insure Success and
Develop the FullNWealth of
the Farming Lands.

The latest, and what appears to be
the most feasible industry brought to
the notice Of our business men fol. some
time, is the proposition from a practi
cal and responsible gentleman, w. H.
Field, of Auburn, Maine. The gentle
man has made the subject of canning
corn, tomatoes, and other like things,
study, understands the business to its
smallest detail, and is. fully conversant
with all the requirements conducive to
a successful operation of a canning fac
tory. The expense of putting up fac
tory, getting in the necessary machin-
cry with everything in complete readi
ness for operation for canning corn,
would approximate $4,000. The money
could be easily raised by selling stock
in hundred dollar shares to farmers
throughout the country. There is no
trouble in selling stock when the pur-
chaser can see a prof table return. Let
US look at that part of the matter
briefly. It requires no expert to de-
termine profits accruing from such an
investment, as the one herein noted.
The cans cost about one cent and eight
mills each; the corn a slight fraction
over two cents per can; the labor,
labels, interest on money invested,
everything all told, bring the total
cost of the can ready for the market up
to six and a quarter cents, or seventy
five cents per dozen. Every consumer
is conversant with what good corn al
ways brings-it always finds ready
sale, never drug on the market and
never reaches too low a figure for a
fair margin for the stock-holder. Now
as to the farmer; the usual price paid
for sweet corn is two cents per pound
for sheared corn. In ordinary years,
with an average yield, this brings good
returns per acre. Also coming on
early in August, it furnishes a good
financial income at time, when there
is nothing else that a farmer can sell.
By planting both the early and late
varieties of corn, the time is extended
over one-half the summer and greater
part of the fall. Mr.. Fields PROPOSE
ton is to come here, superintend the
building of the cannery' take shares OF
stock, fully indemnity himself with the
work, and see that it is a paying insti-
tuition. Preliminary steps should be
taken without delay. The opportunity
is a golden one. Other places are al
ready looking after the same thing.
Every industry adds to the wealth Of
the village and the welfare of it's citi.
zens and to the interest of the farmers
tributary to this market. Think and
talk the matter over, call a meeting
and capture paying industry before
some other place gets it.

A few years since, people through

the cloth fakirs. The past summer
the stove men got in their deadly work,
and the we'll caught suckers mourn.
Words of warning fell on needless ears.
Reliable men, of this village, offered a
better grade Of ranges for less money,
on long time, than those purchased
from the here-to-day-a nd-away-to-mor-
row men, whose regard for truth is
about as small as the liberality of a
razor back swine. Notes are due, and
a prompt payment is the best way out
of the swindle.
