which was published ia 1888, to bring
discredit upon our book, "Thc Great
Cryptogram." 1t was very funny. IT
reflected great credit on them. We
had published two books, ga tlantis''
and "Ragnarok, which had attracted
the attention of the whole world. We
were the first Minnesotian that had
ever written book that was heard Of
outside the boundaries of the state,
and when third work was about to
appear. heralded by an immenSe
amount Of notices in the newspaper
on both sides Of the Atlantic, these
two WORTHLESS, who are now working
by the day for Plutocracy. rushed into
the field with shabby little pamphlet
to discredit and disgrace us. They
pretended they had found in the
Shakespeare plays cipher narrative
stating that "Donnelly was daisy"
They may discover before we get
through with him that he Is daisy.
We have found in the records of the
District court Of Ramsey county (St.

limited divorce, instituted by "Lis-

cember 6, 1894, and was concluded June

head lines and full particulars; with
pictures Of the woman, the man and

And hence not the slightest hint OF
this charming and interesting case. Ia
which United States Senator Davis
was counsel, ever found it's way into
the daily or weekly press, until we ab
luded to it in our last issue. And
even we should have spared the mis-

to destroy our great work in 1888, he
jumps upon another book Of ours, ust
published, and. after Safeguarding
it to his hearts content, .tries to in.

fallen into our dotage, although We
are nearly twenty-five years younger
than William E. Gladstone. nd
Pile was inspired to attack us, in 1883,
not by ANYTHING we had ever done or
said to harm him, for we had never

defeated at the ballot box, but our
very books must be prescribed and
ostracised and our sources of income
cut off. We think it is about time
that Plutocracy and it's lick-spittlss
