STARTLING INCREASED
Insanity Last Year.

The increase Of insanity last year over the
preceding year was startling! Think Of ii,
persons suffering from nervous troubles, such
as sick and nervous headache, nervousness,
commissions, neuralgia, apoplexy, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, paralysis, nervous prostration,
epilepsy, etc. The outlook would certainly
be discouraging for you were there no means
of escape. Any of the above difficulties,
and many more, are advance symptoms of
insanity or some other equally deplorable con-
dition ending in suicide or premature death.
DIR. Franklin Miles, the noted specialist,
has devoted oyer 20 years te-the investiga-
ton of nervous affections, and in the result
Of his labors lies the only hope of those afiiet-
ed with the troubles. named. His Restora-
tive Neryine is positive means of relief.
If you have any nervous affection attend TO-
II at once. Do not wait till your intellect is
shattered or the frenzy of suicide overcomes
you. Delay is dangerous.

NOTAN A. p A.

The st. Cloud Times is evidently fear
full that c. A. T6wne of Duluth is quite
capable of defeating its candidate for
congress, Major Baldwin, and therefore
is DESTROYS of preventing Mr.. Towne's
nomination. 1t prematurely sprung a
sensational story that Mr.. Towne was
the candidate OF the American Protective
Associations k iow-nothing movement
without the rea$ons even that existed
for that order. The association is built
upon religious pFOscription-a doctrine
wholly repugnaht to the principles of
true citizenship. Its members are banded
together to preve mt all Roman Catholics
from holding an public office, or from
receiving other c Pnsideration at private
hands: 1t profes pes to see threatening
danger when non exists. In seeking to
attach Mr.. Town e to this offensive order
the Times hoped to raise up an OppOsi-
tion to MIR. TowIne which would defeat
him in convent pn. But it will not
work. Over his own signature Mr..
Towne denies the charge, and squares
himself with the people of this district.
The Times shOul Id have reserved this
particular misreP presentation for later
use.

THE bU7yOOK

A forced tour On Monday and Tues
day through the towns of Sank Centre,
Ashley, Raymond and North Fork in
Stearns county, Bangor, Lake Johanna
and Gilchrist in Pope county afforded
the writer an opportunity to inspect the
growing crops and form an opinion of
the condition and prospects of the crops
in these Localities. Every where corn
looks we'll, is vigorous, well-advanced
and promising-fully three weeks in adj
vance OF the average season. Where
reasonable attention has been paid to
its cultivation, and as a rule it has re-
ceived 1t, there is every indication of a
finely matured and excellent crop. The
area is very mudh greater. than ever
before, and nearly every farmer inter-
viewed was 50 we'll pleased that he ex-
pressed the detern1 ination to still further
increase the acreage next season.
Wheat varies in the several localities
from individual pieces exceptionally
unfavorably located which will be total
failures to Handsome, billowy fields
which promise twenty-five bushels to the
acre, and seem i'd no greater danger
than shrinkage bf say twenty-five per
cent. under continuous hot winds. Cool
weather and moderate rains ut once

of Raymond, large portion Of Ashley,
the nor ihern portion of North Pork and
third of the Pope county towns pre-
sent very favorable indications indeed,
and all through the territory travcrsed
there is far more encouraging than dis
