HIS - Sliupty d UefrlDle contrast
between markets only thirty miles
apart.
Now let us get at an approximation
of how much this rascality has
amounted to for the present genera
tion in Dakota county, and then we
will enquire what caused it.
The chinch bugs took possession of
Dakota county in 1890, 1891 and 1892,
and the number of acres in wheat fell
from 123,550 acres fn'1Sa9, (see Report
Com. Statistics 1922, down to $3.50
acres in 1892; in the last two years
this pest has disappeared and the
wheat crop is rapidly increasing. In
1889 the amount raised was 1926, 900
bushels. We have not any figures fol
1894 or 1895 but it will be not far, we
think, from 1000, 600 bushels; but to
be on the safe side we will call it 75O..
900 bushels. II now we deduct from
the prize of 10000 bushels eleven
cents per bushel and We have 1926, 600,
as a annual loss on this one crou
alone. This is equal to t~wenty-seven
times all the tares of the county. And as
this robbery has been going on for q
years, land we used to raise 1000, 600
bushels of wheat per Year, we can
multiply this sum $s25, 600, by Is and
we have the sum OF s., O62, 500 taken
from tile present generation of farm
ers in Dakota county, in consequence
of the difference in price between their
local markets and the price at Mime
apolis, at an average distance of say
20 miles from their fields!
Let us return to the next crop. oats.
In 1890 Dakota county, raised 2, 1O1,.
40 bushels. The chinch bugs eat
them up in 1891 and 1892, but very
large'Quantities were raised in 1893
and 1894. In 1887 we raised 1896, G15
bushels; in 1885 1.016, 425. We think it
reasonable to estimate that the CROP
averaged M million bushels during
the past twenty-five years, for a great
deal of it was not reported to the
state statistician, being not sold but
consumed on the farm. This, at the
3 cents per bushel, would give us, in
25 years, a robber of $3.50. 600.
The next item is corn. This crop
suffered very much from the chinch
bugs and it is difficult to get at the
average yield for % years past:
but large amounts have always been
raised in the county, for forty years;
and If we call it 500, 900 bushel a year
we will not be far out of the way; and
this at 5 cents a bushel will amount
in 25 years to $625,O0O.
Here then w have three crops:
Wheat, robbery in % years.. 81, O62. 500
Oats, robbery in 25 years.. $780, 600
| Corn. robbery In % years.. 625 600

price they can obtain for the pro-
ducts. Is it any wonder that their
town does not grow; or that the Twin
cities do grow?
But their cowardly leaders do not
dare to tell people these things; keep
them in ignorance, and quiet them, at
the cost of $40, 900, by hopes that will
never materialize. The bridge is to
make them all rich! And yet they
have a free ice-bridge half the year
and it does them no good. They
might just as we'll try to make water
u up hill, as attempt to induce
farmers to trade with them at a loss
on every thing he sells, Hence they
| are limited to such driblets of trade
as may come to them from those who
live right around them, and have not
the time or energy to haul their pro-
duce to the Twin-cities.
But this is not all. We who have to
use the towns as a market not only
lose, as we have shown, on everything
we sell, but we lose also on everything
we buy.
On May I'd, according to the Hast
ings' Democracy, the farmer who
bought bran for his cattle paid $12 a

in that city, for bran in bulk. lthat is
the way our farmers buy it), $40 per

N THE FEDERAL COURT.
THE ST. ,MARYS POSToFFICE
ROBBERY UP AGAIN,
With Edward Bailey Occupying
the Prisoners Dock-Two Oleo-
margarine Cases From This
City Tried Yesterday.

Two oleomargerine cases, in which
city dealers stood charged with selling
the product without complying with
the law, were up before the United
States Court yesterday. In the first
of these cases, mentioned in the Reg
lister of yesterday, there was plea of
guilty, and a fine of $50 and costs. In
the second case-that against Joseph
Underworld defense made quite
an effort. at first, but finally the case
was stopped, and a fine of $50 and
costs was assessed, plea of guilty be-
ing entered. In imposing this flne the
Court laid down the rule that dealer
selling oleomargerine at different
stores or or market stands, must nave
a separate license at each place where
sales are made.
William H. Martin was admitted to
practice.
In the afternoon a case was put on
trial which will probably last two or
three days, and which will be hard
fought on both sides. This cause was
that of United States V. Edward
Bailey, indicted for completely in the
robbery of the postoffice at St Mary's,
in the fall of 1898. This robbery
was perpetrated by members of what
was known locally as the Fort Sidney
gang, who looted postofices and coun-
try stores from Parkersburg to POINT
Pleasant, on both sides OF the river,
and who made a world of trouble tor
the Federal officers as well as for the
citizens in that region. Many arrests
of members of this gang have been
made. and five have been sent 10 the
penitentiary for the st. Marys rob
berry alone, two of these going to Col
umbus and three to Moundsville. At
least one brother of the defendant now
on trial was among those convicted.
One of the men sent to Moundsvllle
has served out his short sentence and
been discharged. A large number Of
witnesses are in attendance at Court
to testify in the pending trial, and a
good many spectators were present
yesterday afternoon.

Not Shiftless, but Polite.

A Boston young man who once took q
riding journey of five weeks in South Car
DINA speaks with enthusiasm of the DO
likeness of the farmers and other plain
people with whom he stopped from time
to time. On n occasion he took dinner
at q farmhouse and afterward sat upon the
front porch, talking to his host and think
ing to postpone his departure till the cool
of the evening.
The southerner kept examining the sky
as if apprehensive of a storm and looked
with dismay at his crops scattered over the
fields evidently fearing that they would
be ruined.
What a piece of southern shiftlessness!,
the Bostonian said to himself. "This law
fellow prefers gossiping to working, al
though the probability is that his crops
will be ruined before nightfall!"
After awhile, however, the idea came
Into the northerner's head that perhaps his
host felt it impolite to leave a guest, and
SO sat asking the news from the north and
telling humorous anecdotes, while longing
to get at his crops.
No sooner did the traveller arrive at this
possible explanation of his hosts conduct
h he babe him a cordial but brief fare
we'll, sprang upon his horse and rode away.
Turning in his saddle a later,
he saw his host with a pitchfork in bis
hand dashing at full speed round the cor
ner of the house to the barn, that he might
get out his horse and set to work.

He Got His Dinner.

An absentminded Roxboro citizen was
sent to the city, says the Philadelphia
Record, to make a few purchases for his
better half. On prior occasions he had re-
turned home complaining of q headache.
caused by missing his noontime meal. To
make sure he would not forget any of the
articles wanted, his wife prepared a mem
orandum. At the head of the list was,
Don't forget your dinner" and to make
doubly sure she finished with the same ad-
monltlon. Arriving in the city, the paper
was pulled from his. pocket. Seeing the
dinner notice he dropped in a restaurant
and filled up. Each article was marked off
the list as purchased, until he reached the
bottom, when "Gct your dinner again
appeared. He dropped into the nearest
eating house and gave an elaborate order.
1t happened to be the same place visited an
hour or so before, and his appetite was q
revelation to the waiter, who was the same
man who served the first dinner.
