Mayor Knox has issued proc lamation announcing the date of the next election of town officers, and it is time the people were casting about for suitable men for the responsible duties devolving upon members of the board of mayor and aldermen. In view of the small salary paid, and the censure and criticism that one is likely to incur in tearlessly and honestly administering the functions of the office, men are hesitant to offer for these places. And yet it seems to us this should not be so. The in terests of town are largely de- pendent upon the character of the men who constitute its council. The character of the municipal law and the enforcement thereof, the suppression of vice, the promo tion of good, and the disposition of the public moneys depend wholly upon the character of the men who compose this body. No election can be of more concern or demand more our thoughtful and deliberate consideration than the selection of municipal officers. In the past this body has been composed of men whom the office sought, and they have demonstrat- ed by their acton, the wisdom of the people in eIecting them to offices thata are without profit, but not without honor.

Strawberries.

Every man, woman and child, having rod of ground, should grow strawberries. They may be produced on almost any soil, and child may grow them. There is no fruit so delicious, none more productive, none more healthfal, none so easily grown, none so cneaply grown and easily protect ed from the hot winds and drouth of summer or the bhzzards of tie Rocky Mountain region. Itis the rich mans berry; it is the poor mans berry; it is eyerybody's Der
 ry, and should be as universally grown as wheat, corn or potatoes
 The same common sense that grows a good pig, a good COW or good crop of grain, will just as surely grow good crop of straw berries In fact, the process is about the same. You cannot grow good pork from a weak, sickly pig, and you cannot grow good berries from weak, siclly plant. Always get the best, whether pig or plant. The soil is storehouse for plant food. It is the most convenient place tor keeping raw material to Dc con verted into agricultural and horti
 cultural products as needed. It is a bank of deposit for fertility IT. i. 7hdyer, in FieH and Farm.

 First, England did not hang Louis
 Riel. He was tried before Canadian court for murder, and he, and l believe,,,even others, were sentenced to death. He and two others were hang ed; several others were sentenced te terms of great CT or less duration in the peniten- tiary of the Province of Manitoba, at Stony Mountain, and were af- forwards, released was in Winnipeg when | party of Indians passed through, on their way back from the pen. The most noteworthy of these was an old Chief (Poundnaker) whose natu. raI antiquities to the ways of the white men, were so respected, that he was not made to work, and was allowed to wear his hair long, while in captivity. Second ly, Louis Riel was not a patriot, anymore than was Geronimo, or any other Indian desperado of this country. He, Riel, was q
 French half-breed, of turbulent nature, and was described as be ing a bully. In him, was united the vivaclty and bright mental

A SEVERE WINTER.
The Cause of Suffering and Increase
 of Diseases.

This winter has been the most severe for many yeals. North, South. East and West intense cold and bIlzzards have prevailed. This will surely cause q great in- crease of sickness and death. Chronic catarrh and consumption always begins by catching cold. Thousands have started on the road toward q lifetime of misery from chronic catarrh or sure death from consumption. It is not too late yet to be saved and restored to life of health and ae- tivity. Pe.ru.na will do it. It never fails to quickly cure chronic catarrh lessathan two years old. Of course Fortuna cures thousands and thousands of cases of chronic eatarrh that have run for many years, but in cases that are of more recent origin it cures, quickly. certainly and permanently. Ev- cry ease of cold or cough that has resulted from the effects of our severe winter could now be cured in q short time by Pe.ru-na, Not a single one need fail.
 All those taking Peru-na who desire the advice of Dr. Hartman about their cases should write, giv- ing age, sex, disease and time of sickness, and he will answer free. A few weeks treatment now will prevent years of suffering, and in many cases death. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio, for q free book on catarrh, colds, cough, Ia grippe and consumption.

 We are told that diversified farming will not solve the problem of cotton depression, bat won't it solve the problem of increased prosperity by furnishing our markets with all the fruits. corn, oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, garden vegetables, pork, beef and poultry that is required hy our people, thereby lcssening the amount of cash that goes out of the state every month for these neces ssaries? Would it not be the part of wisdom in this state, where we have a soil and climate suited to the production of almost every thing under the sun, to make our selves selfsustaining? Or is it bet ter to continue to raise five-cent cotton and buy all inc necessarlcs of life from some more favored place at exorbitant prices?2
 The farmers of Arkansas, by les sening the production of cotton and increasing all other farm pro ducts, can supply our own mark cts with these staples, or necessa- ries, and by so doing make them selves independent. If they will do this. the cotton problem will solve itself. But we are told that, if they raise stock, they can't get cost for it. This will hardly be borne out if the farmer will raise the better qualities of stock :. There has, through all this depres- sion, been a fair demand for good 1, heavy draft horses at prices that would pay for their raising, but that demand cannot be filled by the pony or common scrubs 1rt.
