Warm Him Up and Pass
Him Around.

The Foster County Independent tells
of one j f. Kmmel, who claims to be
general manager of the Northwestern
Building and Loan Association of Far
go, who has been working Darlington
and doing up its citizens by false pre-.
lenses. j. f. K-im.m-e.l! Let's see!
Yes, that's the way it is spelled, and
| those are the initials of smooth ton .
gued scoundrel. who some eighteen
months ago came to Valley City and
organized branch of the Sioux
Falls Saving and Co operative Building
and Loan Association Under false
representations he took out of Valley
City citizens something ike $500 in cool
cash for which they have never received
a single cent in loans OF otherwise, that
we know of. Letters to the Sioux Falls
concern received just such treatment AS
those the Independent says were sent to
the Fargo concern. Evidently the man
Klmmel is fraud and swindler; and if
the Northwestern Building and Loan
Association of Fargo is Il reputable
concern it will fine its General Manager
j. E. Kimmel too quick. or 90 out of
business Valley City Patriot.

The Scandinavians in Kansas are
organizing republican clubs and 60
ing into the campaign in dead earn
est to help redeem that state from
populism. Resolutions adopted at a
meeting Of the Topeka club the other
day say: awe denounce the mis-
management of our state institutions;
condemn the scandals now connected
with them; disapprove the placing
ofwhole families on the pay roll of
the state for political purposes, and
are resolved to drive from power the
party which has proved itself the
enemy OF the wage Garner and the
partner OF the gambler, and pledge
ourselves to redeem the self respect
of the state. To this end we ask all
the people of Topeka and vicinity,
of Scandinavian descent, 10 join with
US in redeeming Kansas through the
triumph OF the republican party"
This is the sentiment of the Scandi-
navians of Topeka after having lived
for two years under populist rule in
that state.-Minneapolis Journal.

There seems 10 be considerable doubt
as to who stole Marquardt's water
melon. First Sheriff Greenland was
accused and he demanded an apology,
which he got last week. Then Justice
Warner was blamed and now he de-
mands an apology and threatens to give
us thirty days for contempt of "coort."
Seeing that Warner eat more melon
than anybody else he ought to be salts
tled. But we will say right here that
we are sorry that we said anything to
hurt his feelings. We know from the
lock of anguish and the way he grabbed
the front of his vest twelve hours after
eating the melon, that he suffered
enough without our inficting any more
injury. Mr.. Warner says it was States
Attorney Bartlett who swiped the
melon, and that he can prove bis asser
tions by at least a dozen hungry Office
seekers who helped eat the melon.

CAMPAIGN FACTS
FOR FARMERS.

Il O1O
Farmers need money and could
spend to great advantage more than
they usually have. 1t would be bet
Yer for all classes of business if the
farmer could spend fifty or a hundred
dollars year more than he now has
tor household purposes alone. He
Gould use that much and great deal
more and not be extravagant. The
average outlay for each one of the
Warming class of this amount would
Of itself create a great increase in
business.
Farmers, however, are not the only
ones who need more money. The
great body of workers in our factor
les and shops need more money and
would be glad to get it. There are
other large classes who work by the
DAY and live from hand to mouth whe
are worse off than the farmers as they
have no COWS, or pigs, or hens.
They need money, if anybody, as
they have to buy all their living.
Hhey have no land which is con-
1eantly increasing in value. Farmers
must remember that it the govern
sent is going into the business OF
keeping those in money who need it
they are not the only, or most needy
ones to be looked after.
.3ut where is the government to get
Its supply of money for the poor and
'heedy1 All the money the govern
'ment has comes to it through sys-
TEN of taxation which is levied upon
I'll these poor fellows who clamor for
It, All the appropriations the gov
Eminent makes for running expenses,
and for Improvements, and for the
uistresses of the people comes from
the people directly and indirectly;
and the government cannot appro-
PIRATE what it does not have. What
It gives to one class it must take out
Of some other. Does the farmer
want the government to put its hands
Into his pocket = to give to a
more needy class than his? Does
he want the government to put its
hands into some other mans pocket
tPr his sake? Does the farmer desire

bed for his benefit? Does he favor
class legislation when he is to lie

That John Syverson was happy and
justly proud man last Saturday night
cannot be gainsaid, and the citizens Of
Cooperstown and Griggs were also hap
py and proud of Mr.. Syversons success.
The occasion for all this good feeling
was the throwing open to the public
of Mr.. Syverson's new department store
Nearly the entire population OF the
town visited this elegant mammoth
store during the evening, and its enter
prising owner received many hearty
congratulations for his continued sue
cess. With his usual enterprise Mr.. Sy-
verson secured the services of the band
who discoursed sweet music during the
evening, which greatly pleased all, and
the gentlemen were treated to choice
havanas, which were smoked to Mr..

that the gentleman feels proud of this
fine establishment, stocked in every do
partment with the best and complete
line of goods IN any one store in this
