THE CROP WON'T HELP

EX-SERGEANT AT ARMS BAYER, OF
CLAY, SAYS POOR PRICES KILL
VALUE
Sergeant-at-Arms ]. M. Bayer, Of the
late house of representatives, who resides
at Moorhead, was in the city this morn
ing. He says. of times, that his people,
Clay county, are reaping little or no ben
eflts from the great crop, on account of
low prices Some Of them are not SO well
off as last year, when while wheat was
low and poor crop, other products, oats,
barley, pork, potatoes, etc, were at a
good price. This year they have more
than ever before gone into diversified
crops, but unfortunately the prices are
lower than ever before. eff wheat only
was low said Mr.. Bayer, land we had
fair prices for the rest we would be all
right; but we are in the slumps all round,
oats, barley, potatoes, pork and other
products.
NO said Mr.. Bayer, eve will not, in
my part Of the state, derive much of any
benefit from the big crop"

Now propose this plan to pass the pres
ent crisis. 1t is very simple but It will
prove effective if carried out: First, let
every paid up subscriber extend his SUBJ
scription one year ahead Tor less il he
cannot do iD; second, then secure one new
subscriber for just as long time as pos
sible. And lastly do it right off, don't

GOOD!
A GENEROUS PROPOSITION.

GENEROUS PROPOSITION.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly:
I was painfully surprised to read your
announcement that the Representative
would have to be suspended under certain
conditions. It must not be done No.
the true lovers of the principals which it
has so ably advocated must come to the
rescue and save the ablest paper in the
North West Come brethren, wake up to
the gravity of the situation. Our princi-
pies must triumph or we shall all sink to
old European conditions and American
liberty perish. How can our loved princi-
pies ever be carried out if we cannot even
sustain the papers which advocate them!

MYSTERIOUS CASE
FATAL EFFECTS FOLLOW A WE'D
DING SUPPER IN IOWA.

FATAL EFFECTS FOLLOW A WE'D
DING SUPPER IN IOWA.
Sabula, Iowa, Oct. 8.-The singularly
distressing illness among the guests at
the wedding of John Taplan and Anna
Gage is sdll occupying the attention of
the medical fraternity of this and other
cities, but so far no physician has been
able yet to correctly diagnose the disease.
Three deaths have occurred and so per-
sons are confined to their beds and sew
dead are:
GEORGE BRYANT, Sterling, ILL.,
FLORENCE WALKER.
MISS PALMER.
- FLAKE
Those who are not expected to live are:
S. f. Day, mayor of Sabula; James
Dynes, Mrs. James Dynes, VIM. II. Ber-
ner. Mrs. W. H. Berner, J. D. Gage. John
Taplan the bridegrooml DR.. Maskery,
w. G. Newsome, G. w. Scarborough Mrs
G. w. Scarborough.
The popularity of the disease is caus-
ing great apprehension and is attributed
to the failure of the physicians to sue
ceSSfuily combat 1t. It's similarity to
common forms of poisoning and its i'm
nervousness to all antidoteS and usual
remedies is a puzZler. Some of the vic
Tins show every symptom of trichinosis,
cate the disease or allay the fever with
which it is accompanied. Others appear
to be afflicted with ptomaine and the an
tidoteS administered in cases of mineral
poisoning have not the slightest tendency
to check the illness. The fact that most
Of the victims were not stricken until
three weeks after partakng of the we'd
ding feast furnishes another surprise to
the physicians.
There are % cases in Sabula. In the sur,
rounding country of Jackson county are
so or 60 more patients, all showing the
same symptoms.
Jackson county is terror stricken
Those who are slightly i'll are apprehen-
sive of more serious results and conse-
quently no medical assistance relieves
them. Those who are not i'll but who
were at the wedding, are fearful that the
disease will soon assert itself in them
The outside physicians called in are in
the dark also.
1t has transpired that after the meats
which were served a the wedding feast
pressed chicken and ham, had been cook
ed the welding had been postponed four
days. Between the interval of this post
ponement and the marriage feast the
weather was very warm and meats which
were not iced or otherwise preserved be-
came tainted.

GENERAL STRIKE OF MEN EN-
PLOYED IN THIS INDUSTRY.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE entire gold
beating industry in New York, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, was brought to a stand
still Saturday morning by a general
strike Of 400 employees.
The wages of the gold heaters, when
the Wilson tariff law went into effect
were $13 az week for week workers or Sc. 50
for a beating of 500 leaves for piece
workers The passage of the Wilson bill
served as an excuse for the employers
to cut wages to $3.50 a week and So so
a beating"
Trade has steadily improved since the
adoption of the new tariff, but no higher
wages were offered, and the gold beaters
national union asked raise to SO a week
and SIS a beating. A majority of the en-
ployers said they would agree to this if
all would, but few refused, and accord
ingly a general strike was ordered. Word
was received yesterday that all the Phil
adelphia manufacturers would accept

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED


By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube When
this tube gets inflamed you have d
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result. and unless inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition
of the m ucOuS surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness tcaused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

HOLD THE WHEAT.

NORTHWESTERN FARMERS MAKING
THE PRACTICAL TRIAL.
Duluth, Minn., Sept. 27.-Through
the railroads which connect Duluth
with the wheat country comes the re.
port that farmers are preparing to
hold their wheat for higher prices,
now that the greatest needs have
been relieved. They are scraping to-
gether money for the purchase Of
lumber with which to provide storage
for their wheat, and even utilizing old
boxes and even barrels, in providing
temporary bins for keeping their
grain until a little better price is ob-
tainable. AS a result, inspection here
is showing a smaller movement than a

READ THIS TABLE.

HOW WEALTH is CONCENTRATING
Mr.. A. B. Howard, Chief of the
Maryland Labor Bureau, gives in his
report for this year some interes ting
statements about the ownership of
personal property. These are drawn
from the records of the Probate Court
in Baltimore, during six years past.
They show that one out of every ten
persons leaves some personal property
besides household furniture. Hence
he nferS that Onethird Of all the
families own personal property. But
the most important statistics are in
the following table:
Value of Estate. Owners. Total Value.
Under 81, 800 ........ 3,675 50, l54, 957
From s.. 500 to $25, 600. 1922 13,9l0,4S6
5000 and over. All fl. $3.50, l25
1914 1855, So
These figures show that two-thirds
of the owners held only per cent of
the property, and on the other hand
that per cent Of the owners held
over 10 per cent of the property.
Were real estate included the dispro-
portion would undoubtedly be more
conspicuous. There is every probability
that the same comparative results
would be found correct in most of the
large cities of the Union.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
SrOTTINC A CRIMINAL.
Interesting Measure ments Which A-t
sed- Length Il of the Ears.

LING IL 'l iiit Eaetl-.
The system which was invented by
NJ. Bertilon. consists in recording the
measurement OF divers bony parts OF
the human frame-parts which do not
alter with any change which age or ac-
cidcnt or device may make in the mus
cuiar tissue and are not affected by the
subsequent thinness or corpulence of
an individual, says the Nineteenth Cc1t-
tury.
These measurements are: Full
height height when sitting. length and
breadth OF the skull, length OF middle
and little fingers Of left hand, length of
LETT fore arm and foct and fnll stretch
of the arms; the length and width of
right ear. the color OF the hair and eyes
and any sears, mOles, etc:, on hands,
arms. face and bust are also accurately
recorded. With these data N. Bertillon
is able TO establish the identity of any
criminal who has been through his
hands
The way in which he accomplishes
this is ingenious and merits some ex-
planatiOn He divides each measure
ment into three classes es-the large. the
lII'NA4tlll anu lllt >llliiis w Z W III sup
pose that he has 90, 900 SETS of measure
mentS before him to classify. He COM
mences by the length of the head, Sc
lectIng that measurement because the
skull of the adult never grows and the
measurer cannot be deceived as he
might be in taking the full height of
the body. BY this means he IS enabled
to reduce the 90 600 into three catego-
ries of about 80 600 each.
The width of the head is treated in
the same manner and the classes are
reduced to 10000 each with broad,
medium or narrow skulls The length
OF the middle finger provides another
diyisOr and further reduces each class
to 300. BY the length of the left foot
the divisions are brought down to about
], 100 each and the length OF the fore
arm reduces them to less than 400 each.
The original 90 coo has thus been di-
yided into 243 groups, each containing
between 800 and 400. This number is
still too large for working purposes and
SO the 400 persons are divided into three
more classes, of about l 10 each, accord
rng as they are tall, short or of medium
height.
The length OF the little finger will
further reduce this to lots of less than
fifty each, and, finally, Ivy the color of
the eyes, of which NJ. Bertilion distin-
guishes seven varieties. the classes are
brought to parcels which shou d aver
age about seven each, but which in
reality vary from three to twenty, some
colOrs being more frequent than others.
This completes the particulars used for
classification. but, in order to eliminate
even the remotest chance of error, there
are add-d the length and width of the
right ear-which form a valuable indi-
cation-the height when sitting and the
full stretch Of the arms.

Six Astonished Mules.

Six mules that had for four years
hauled cars in the lower workings of
the Spailand coal shaft were brought up
recently. The mules in all that time
had seen no light stronger than the
flicker of the little Davy lamps the
miners carried. The sun was i'll its
zenith when they reached the surface.
The astonished mules closed their eyes
to shut out the flood of strong light and
kept them tightly closed while they
were led to the pasture lot mile dis
tant and turned loose There th>y
stood trembling as if they We're afraid
something evil was about to befall
them. Presently they half opened their
ewes and peered around in open-moutll-
ed amazement. When they had become
accustomed To the sunlight they elevated
their heads. Toward sundown they
broke into chorus of joyous brays.
After quarter of an hour of that music
they took to kicking, Jumping whirlin
around like teetOlUmS and rolling ON
the sod as if they had gone mad. The
sun and pure air were more TO them
than food and they refused everything
put before them to eat.-H. L0uG
