: FRUIT AT RETAIL,

Thrifty Housewives Will
Be Happy

In spiteof adverse circumstances, fruit is
as cheap to-day as it was twelve months
ago.
The rains and cold weather have pre-
vented strawberries from coming in as
plentifully as last season; nevertheless,
the retail price has not been raised. Last
year strawberries on May Is sold at 81 to
$40 chest. while yesterday the same arti-
Gle sold as low as So so chest, and was re-
tailed on the street at Is cents box.
Cherries are not in as full supply as the
berries, but still-the wholesale price ranges
low. and, in consequence. peddlers are
reaping harvest
'The fruit-raisers will not do as well this
year as last, said John Connor of Common
Link. Strawberries and cherries are
selling to-day. for less money than they did
year ago. As soon as hot spell comes
the market will be glptted and large guam
titles OF the fruit will be wasted. There is
a good time coming for the housewives
who wish to put up preserves"

A POPULIST GONE.

was formerly editor of the Cokato
Commonwealth, and assistant editor
OF THE REPRESENTATIVE, and who
was compelled, by reason of the fail
ure of his health to remove to Flag
staff, Arizona, where he published The
Democrat, died on the 18th instant,
of Bright's disease, at the St. Louis
Sanitarium, St. Louis, Mo. He was
bright, capable. young man and an
ardent Populist. The physicians who
attended upon him in his sickness
would be glad to hear from his re-
latives as to what disposition they de-
sire made of his remains. A telegram
to DR.. Paul Raquin, St. Louis SAM

ably be sufficient Mr.. Roll lived at
one time at Kirkoven in this state.
Since writing the foregoing we have
received the following letter, which
explains itself:
FLAGSTAFF. Arr, Sept. IS.
Dear Sir-I think that you. or some
one on your staff, were acquainted
with Harold W. Roll formerly editor
OF the Democrat here. A dispatch
from st. Louis informs us that Mr..
Roll died at the Paquim Institute this
morning. He never told me whether
he had relatives in the Northwest, but
if he has and they want the effects he
left here they had better confer with
me. He left trunk containing some
clothing, books. albums, letters, ETC.

enemy of liberty and humanity in the
whole world, has reason to tremble
when he thinks of Goo and the judg-

PERSECUTION.

The salvation Army is making a Wig
orous crusade through the West, and
is meeting with much vigorous and re-
markable opposition. A Michigan
town recently posted the army as a
pubic nuisance; but the most pecu-
liar kind OF persecution it has expert
enced was in Nebraska City, Neb. The
citizens objected to the boisterous ex-
hortatiOnS of the SalvationistS and
had them arrested. But there are
POpuliSts in Nebraska, and it was
found that blatant behavior was not
against the law, and no charge could
be brought against the prisoners. The

A SUDDEN CONVERT MAKES HERSELF
VERY DISAGREEABLE.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 16.-Last night
at the Mount Zion Baptist church,
colored, the pastor, Rev. Thos. Hoff-
man, was exhorting all sinners to re-
pen lance, when in response to his call,
woman with baby marched up the
aisle, and, laying the baby on the pull
pit, said to the pastor:
"There, take your child; I am tired
of being humbugged and seeing you
fool other people. You haven't treat
ed me right"
The preacher was overcome with
chagrin. A meeting was held by the
members of the church and the pastor
was deposed in minute. The affair
has created big sensation.
That shows that the negroes are an
undeveloped race. If that incident
had happened to white preacher he
would have declared he never saw the
woman before in his life; the daily pa
pers would have taken his part and
the mother and baby have been driven
out of the state; and then they would
publish articles showing that there
never was any such woman or baby.
