i The Democrats of Granite Falls de-
cided to vote for postmaster. A pet
| ition has been circulated asking that
an election be called for the 21st of
the present month to vote on the
question.
The trial of Senator Seyatson con-
nected with the operations of the Gil
bert Grain Company, was prosecuted
last week, and resulted in the Cotton
wood statesman, being bound over to
the next term of the district court in
sum of 100000.
Gaylord Hub: A west-bound gang
of Mckinley shouters and Republican
calamity howlers" jumped off onto
the Gaylord depot platform Thursday
while enroute home from Minneapolis,
marched up and down the platform
hurrahing and shouting like a drove
of Comanche Indians; and all in
honor of their precious idol Mckinley.
"They made Rome howl all along
the line.
Marshall Reporter: Redwood Falls
declares on its sacred honor that there
IS paint enough in it's bluffs to merit
a continuance of advertising. It's bluffs
have had good deal of wind in them
so far. X The REDWOOD Ga
zETTE is now trying to keep up the coal
boom by suspecting that the McKin-
leys found valuable mineral, but con-
cealed the fact until they could buy
up all the land thereabouts. PERHAPS.
but not probable.
"A Farmer" addresses the GAZETTE
to the effect that the farmers of this
and other counties are receiving more
advice on farming than they know
what to do with. He considers the
advice bad, because, he says, it comes
from hard-headed, lounging fumblers
who know no more about running a
farm than the Democrats appear to
Know about running the government,
and the same advisers would be too
lazy to dig meal of potatoes, if they
knew how. If farmers depended up
on them they would all be in Hades
IN SIX months. He thinks that if some
one will tell the farmer when and how
to sell his produce at a price that will
compare with the price he pays for
articles the information would be ac-
ceptable and appreciated.
The Prison Mirror, in commenting
upon HE GAZETTE article denouncing
the action of juror John A. Torrey, in
convlcting a man whom he believed
innocent, says: We are frank
to say, and we believe that
an honest public will indorse our
sentiments, that there is not within
the confines of this or any similar in
stitution, human being who is guilty
of more heinous or damnable crime
than that pictured in the article above
quoted. 1t is moi, however, the enorm
ity OF the crime which appalls and
us, but rather the conscient-
iousness of the confession. The
crime, method or system of finding a
speedy verdict, as manifested in the
above instance, is, in reality, a COM
mon one, and it is high time the press
and the people of this country and
age should become awakened to the
realization of this fact.
Granite Tribune: Not to be out
done by the rich finds that have stir
ed the elements from center to circum-
ference several have reported the dis
covery OF asbestos near town. Shaw!
We have the very stuff that excites
the world right close by and did not
think it worth the harvest. In fact
the mineral has been kicked about for
years and no one supposed it valuable
until the fellow down in Redwood
county got his work in and published
it. We have several mineral springs
close by town that if situated in Red
wood county would be doomed for all
they are worth The prospects point
to very quiet season and we suggest
that steps be taken to improve one of
them so that the water can be used in
the city. The Tribune has frequent
ly called attention to them in the past
in the hope that some measures would
be taken to render then valuable for
use but nature has done too much for
