Frank Butler Thrown From q Vehicle
With Serious Consequences.
Blinded by last evenings wind and
rain. Frank Butler couldn't very well
observe an express wagon stationed
alongside the curbing on Fifth ave-
nue. near Twenty-sixth street, and
dashed by with his buggy only
to have the rear wheel caught
by the express wagon. The
horse attached to Buffers vehi-
Gle broke loose. landing the oc-
cupant onto the pavement. His con-
dition, when found. was such as re-
quired medical attendance. DIR.
Barth was called, and found the
young man had sustained concus-
sion of the brain, and was in quite q
serious state. He was taken to
his home in Moline and is resting
comfortably today.
Let the Horse Go.
When the shaft of a rig, occupied
by Charles NJ. Hill and q companion
of Moline. broke by being caught on
projecting wire on Fourth avenue
and Tenth street yesterday after
noon. the lads jumped out of the rig
and let the horse pursue its wild
pace. The shaft and portion OF
the harness were literally torn off.
The horse and sad looking vehicle
were later found on Seventeenth
street.
| Backed Into the Car.
The horse attached to a buggy con-
tanning MIR. and Mrs. Claus Meeder,

A re minder of the campaign of 'ss
when the temperance people fell foul
of Levi P. Morton because liquor
was sold at theShoreeam, in w ashing-
ton building owned by him, comes
from Vermont, where prohibition
adorns the statutes. One Howe
owns a tavern and was con-
victed of selling rum in it. Coy.
Woodbury. refused executive elem
ency. The governor owns a hotel
himself in Burlington in which it
was charged rum was sold. The
governor denied it; the hotel mana
ger denied it. A wicked editor
produced bottle of whisky and a
couple of bottles of beer bought in
the govern or's house, and backs it
with the statements of unimpeaoh-
able citizens that they always got
what liquor they wanted at the COVER
nor's hotel. Both incidents prove
nothing but the absurdity of enact
ing laws whose letter is opposed to
the common sense Of mankind.

Farmers are trying to diversity theil

effort more apparent than in the

when prices of wheat are unremun-

converted into pork at a handsome
profit, It is unnecessary to again

exhaustion of land by sowing ii
snccessively to the same grain.
Farmers are learning that their
own energies and the fertility of

they must apply the best methods of
M East and of Europe to their
work in order to meet all the con-
Gdktions Of supply and demand. That
they are realizing this necessity is

The DEMOCRAT hastens to offer
it's sympathy to those of it's neigh
bors in the eastern part Of the
county whose splendid crops Of
grain lay within the path Of the
relentless rain, wind and hail Of
last week. Cavalier county still

most sincere sympathy.

selves s2,975,ooo to recompense
them for their work.

But there is an other example of
diversified industry that is arousing
emulation. Within the past year
the number of creameries and cheese
factories in the state has increased
25 per cent and>it is safe to state
that many of them dot sections of
the state where not one of them was
seen before. The farmers of North
Dakota are building creameries and
cheese factories and Is evident that
they intend to free themselves from
the capricious tyranny of single
crop.
Such results as those given above
will teach the value of diversified
farming by object lessons that ap-
peal to the judgment and stimulate
the nerve center, the farmers poe
ket book. The effects are apparent
this year, but they will be enorm-
ously increased with each succeed
ing twelve months. Diversified
farming is simply the application to
the greatest profession in the world
of every plan or principle that will
make itmore productive and con-
sequently more successful. The
farmers of the Northwest are be-
coming eager to learn, as they re-
cognize its value, and the Institutes
this winter will be attended as they
never were attended before.

SENATOR ROACH At MISTER.

p . I-s 7
Senator Roach recently delivered
an address on the money question
before the Inkster Money club. q
an interview with The Plaindealer,
Secretary Mercer of the clubespeaks
of tbs senator and his address III
very complimentary terms. Mr.
Mercer says:
"Senator Roach's address differed
very much in one respect from any
other lecture delivered this summer.
1t was free from party considers
tions. 1t was the presentation Of !
great subject delivered in a clear
and intelligent manner without
reference to party.
: Senator Roach did not assume
the attitude of a stump orator or
politician, but as an honest educa-
tor. No funny stories were told to
gain the applause of the audience,
no doubtful statistic given to de-
ceiye.; 1t was great relief and
out of the ordinary to listen to : dA
course free from partisan abuse.
The speaker dealt largely with
the history of legislation Of the
eyentful period of 1868, 1870, 1878,
and 1877. He showed what strong
pressure had been brought to bear
on the government to make all
bonds payable in gold and eliminate
the word "coin." The question
was one of vast Importance, he
said, and should be carefully studied
in order to arrive at just conclu-
sions. There were great men on
both sides who were honest in their
conviction, but were studying -
they never had before.
The Senator has we'll defined
ideas on the subject and is not
afraid to advocate them, but is will
ing to give due credit to those who
differ with him. He is firm in his
convictions, but not radical. A
former speaker in Inkster declared
that the only hope of securing
better monetary legislation, was to
stay by the republican party. This
same speaker is strong advocate
of free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at the ratio of l6 to i. He
believes in the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as principle, but
in the republican party as an expo
dient. The speaker of last satur-
day night said that the two old
parties were divided on the snbiect
to about an equal extent, and tho
hope of the question lies in edncatr
ing the people. He believes that
clubs like the Inkster club, iforgan-
lied all over tho country, would a.
