Several hundred persons gathered on

One of the candidates was a colored

RAISE MOGS.
A Little Advice to- the Farmers of
Minnesota and North Dakotas.

A Little Advice to- the Farmers of
Minnesota and North Dakotas-
History is always repeating ITSELF
I he individual who is wise enough to
profit by experience is: one that meets
with the greatest success in his under
takings. In the year 1891? the corn crop
throughout the West and Southwest
was practically failure: What was
the result? The farmers generally sold
OF all their hogs, big and little, fat and
thin, stock sows and blooded boars5
everything was rushed madly onto the.
market, creating an over supply at the
Tune, and depreciating the price Of
hogs to cents live weight. At the
ume Carl Judson, ex-secretary Of the
state agricultural society, attic npted to
stop the wild stampede to sell the i'm
mature and seed hogs by calling the at
tenuon OF the farmers Of the North
west, through the public press, to the
fact that hogs could be thoroughly and
prohtably fattened on wheat barley and
rye, and that the wild rush to sell off
the stock hogs would result in a hog
famine that would put hog prices far
above any commodity of the farm.
Mr.. Judson's prophecy was fulfilled to
the letter. AS soon as the immature
hogs were sold the market advanced
until the high tide was reached at
South St. Paul in February, 1893, when
live hogs sold at 1925 per cwt. Hogs
have been high ever since, and are
selling at this time at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per cwt. Had the farmers Of
Minnesota needed Mr. Judson's warn
ing it would have been millions of dol
lars in their pockets, but, alas, they
paid no more attention to it than to the
wind, and when hogs had advanced to
$S.25 they were buying pork for home
use and rushing about insanely to pur-
chase, at exorbitant prices, stock hogs
to make a new beginning. Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas and Missouri are the
great hog raising states. In these
states the corn crop is a dismal failure,
and the farmers are selling off and dis
posing of all their hogs, brood sows
and bears, and for the reason that they
have no wheat and barley to substitute
for corn, but our Minnesota farmers,
If they have as much sense as the
Almighty gives to geese, will take adj
vantage of the situation and have hogs
in abundance for the market next year
when the hog producing states are
short and prices high. The farmers
of Minnesota and the Dakotas have a
market outlet at South st. Paul for
more hogs than they can produce.
Even now the pork packers are pur-
chasing hogs at st. 10, Mo-, to keep
their large packing houses busy.
AS a further proof of the situation
in the great hog raising states, we
print the following from the Chicago
Evening Journal of the Goth inst:
"a farmer near McCallsburg, Iowa,
knocked about seventy five hogs in the
head because he had nothing to feed
them. This is the first year in the
history of Story county that the corn
crop was failure. The past two
weeks has practically settled the corn
question this year, it being estimated
that the yield will not be one-half

H!NDOO CHILD MARRIAGES.

A Brahmin's Daughter Must Marry
Very Early Or Her Reputation Suf-
fers.
The Brahmin has to get his daugh-
ter married before she attains puber-
ty. This custom has crept into relig-
ion. The Hindoo religion strictly for
bids single life for woman or man;
especially must the woman be married.
Hence Their are no old maids in India.
Sometimes one may meet an old
''cranky,'' bachelor, who has remained
unmarried because he was too poor to
marry, or because his character was
not gOOd;, but even these are seldom
found except in the lower classes. If a
man is not married at the latest by his
tWenty-ifth year his reputation suf-
fers. It is believed that those who
have son go to heaven, when the
son, after the death of his parents, per-
forms the spiritual rites. However
this may be, whether they go to heav-
en- or not, this severe rule tends to a
strict cultivation of home life.
Owing to this rule, if a Brahmin's
daughter attains puberty before mar
riage the father is disgraced; he loses
his caste and no one will marry the
girl. Thus when a poor man has more
than one daughter it is a misfortune
for him. The Hindoo father himself
| has to find out suitable husband for
his daughter, so he goes to a gentleman
who has a son. He first makes in
quiries about the family, the property,
| the health the education of the boy.
Then he asks the father Of the boy
to marry his son to his dau ghter. The
father of the boy asks for dowry, and
the amount Of this is fixed according
| to the means Of the man who asks for
1t and not Of the man who gives it.;
| that is to say, if the father Of the boy
is very rich he asks thousands of dol
lars. Hence the Hindoo father of a
| girl has to spend much for the mar
lage OF his daughter, for he always
| wishes to see her married into a rich
| family.-FOrum.

Miss Painter, who is a music teach

man, evidently tramp, jumped out
from the roadside and commanded
her to get out of the wagon. For an

the man dropped his hold on the
horse, with a bullet IN his wrist. At
this moment another man ran out to
catch the horse and the young woman
fired at him also, but missed. The
horse became frightened and rushed
down the road before the second
man could stop it. Since then dill
