Horny Davis, superintendent of
the Cannelton Coal Company, a
life long Republican, we'll and
favorably known to the people of
the Kannwha Valley, is an out
spoken advocate of the free coin
age of silver and will vote and work
for the election of Bryan.
Mr.. Davis belongs to the "sal-
aried" class, which according to
Secretary Carlisle ought to vote for
gold, but wants other people to
have show for prosperity too,
feeling assured that all classes will
be benefited by an increased cir
culating medium and that under
the single gold standard prices of
everything must continue to go
down. Charleston Gazette.

WHO WOULDN'T?

Window Reporter: Who wouldn't
run a newspaper at Redwood Falls?
The people seem to be able to get up
a sensation for The GAZETTE every
week or two. A preacher wouldn't
kiss pretty girl, but Ir. Forbes said
he would; SO would Schmahl or Aiken,
and get mad if they didn't have a
chance to do so once or twice week.
Their people are extremely accommo-
dating to the newspaper fraternity.
They have bank failures, indicted
bank officials, runaway with-a-woman
citizens, insolvent debtors, and so on
to the end. We never heard of so &C
commodating a community. 1t is an
up-to date town for newspapers. How
will you swap towns, boys? Window

else. It's two banks are solvent. 1t
has numberless pretty girls, a happy
family of school teachers and board
of education clear out of sight, and
it's license men forgot to vote for
tanglefoot. Window people might
object to it, for we haven't preacher
in town, though two are single, who
would step up to a girl and propose
an even exchange of oscillation. The
GAZETTE family could have corner
on the business.

ARNOLD ON ASSIGNMENT.
He DeduCts Some Conclusions on
Recent Events.

To THE EDITOR: [ have just read
in The GAZETTE of Feb. 9th, with
painful feelings, the assignment of
Laird & Dornberg. It has been my
good fortune to make many pleasant
acquaintance since | came to Red
wood county, and among the number
are the gentlemen whose misfortunes
you chronicle in the issue mentioned
In fact, it was through Mr.. Dornberg
that | became enumeration for this dis
trict in taking the census Of 1890.
When men of large business, and
long and honorable standing, like
these men are compelled to assign, the
questions arise, who. is safe, and what
is the cause of these troublesome
times? The whole story is told in
the last sentence of your notice: "The
book accounts are very large" And
why are the book accounts large, and
why don't these debtors paw?
These question are pertinent, though
almost superfous, as every one knows
that the producers are fast going to
the dogs, and in spite of the great
crop of the northwest last year, they
are still on the down grade, and when
the producers 60 under, who can keep
up the merchants and others Deepen
dent on them? At such times only
the money trusts fourishes. You
have only to turn to the last page OF
The GAZETTE and other papers and
read the mortgage sales, to see why
there are book debts, failures, etc.

A NEW RAILROAD.
This is on Paper, However, and
Not Dangerous.


Not Dangerous.
To THE EDIToR:-I see the New
York Central has been taking wheat
from Buffalo to New York City at as
low rate as four cents or less per
hundred pounds, less than 80 cents
per ton.
This demonstrates the benefit of
competition in railroads. A single
railroad in an agricultural country
makes the farmers its slaves, the fruits
of their tolls go to enrich it. But
when there are two or more railroads
in competition they enrich, or their
competition enriches the farmers.
The Hudson river and New York
Central are not however fair example
of what railroad, or what railroads
in general could do in the way of
cheap transportation, as they have
many advantages not possessed by
other roads.
If railroad were built from Yank-
ton through Redwood Falls and
Litchfield to St. Cloud it would at the
latter point connect with the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific COM
peting lines to Duluth.
Now Duluth and Chicago are the
two markets of the world for the
northwest. Chicago is four or five
hundred miles from Redwood while
Duluth is only about two hundred
miles distant.
Coal has been carried from Lake
Erie ports to Duluth-a distance OF
about one thousand miles at as low a
rate as ten cents per ton, or one cent
per ton per hundred miles, and while
this and the rate above given for
transportation of wheat from Buffalo
to New York city are unusually low
rates, rates which rarely occur, still
they show how much lower transporta.
ton charges must be there than Other
places on other routes. There.
fore line from Yankton to St. CLOUD
would have the benefit of competition
from there to New York, and further
this proposed line coming into compe
tition with the Great Northern both
roads would be obliged to put theil
charges at reasonable figure to Sc
cure trade.
The region this benefited would b.
a belt about seventy miles wide fol
the people living along and shipping
over the Great Northern would by
means of competition derive as much
benefit from the proposed new line al
though they lived along and shipped
over it.
Let us say for the purpose of illus
tration that the people of this bel
(seventy miles wide) were benefited tt
the extent of three cents on ever,
bushel of wheat or other grain shipped
This would make in ordinary years
sum of about $4,000, for the year, t.
every mile in length of the road, o
money enough in three or four year
to build and equip the road. Putting
it in another way the sum of none,
lost every three or four years by tn
people of this belt by reason of no
having this road would build it 9TH
road).
| And, if after the road should b.
constructed and in operation it SHOULD
be found that the other roads do no
treat it with sufficient fairness it woult
not be great undertaking to exten'
it from St. Cloud to Duluth. y.

the Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented a great many valuable
things. They were the first to make
brooms by machinery; the first to put
up seeds in little packages; the first
to manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with method of
curing dyspepsia by resting the
stomach. This remedy is known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It sup
plies food in an artificially digested
form and at the same time aids the
digestion of other foods in the stom-
ach. In other words, by the use of
the Shaker Digestive Cordial, dys-
peptic virtually gets along without
the use of his stomach until it is re-
stored to it's natual strength and vigor.

Pianos Old Settlers Picnic.

Thursday afternoon the old settlers
of Plano township, in Hanson county,
got together in annual reunion in the
Ball grove. While it is an old settlers
reunion yet nobody in that neighbor-
hood is barred from attending and the
farmers and their wives and children
laid aside their regular everyday duties
and met together to enjoy the pleasures
of fraternal friendship. The grove was
filled with people, all of whom seemed
to have most excellent time. A. r..
Hitchcock and Rev. G. W. McConne
delivered short addresses and there
were various kinds of sports INDUCED
in to amuse the crowd after the speak
ing was over. A game OF base ball was
played between the Plano club and the
.Artesian club which furnished the
most amusement Of the day. Those
Plano people are about as happy and
contented lot as one will meet with in q
long time. They are sociable and their
hospitality is of such kind that one
FEELS that it comes from the heart and
when they all get together they make
things unusually pleasant for an
outsider. A regular association has
been organized, officers elected and ii
is the intention to hold the reunions
every year. 1t is splendid idea, for il
brings the people together in closer
relations and prevents an estrangement
from arising in the community caused
by a lack of mingling together. The
old settlers reunions are just the thing
to create pleasant memories in the livel
of the participants.

koontz was defeated there could have
been no question. But in addition to
all this members of our delegation left
their seats, went to other delegations
and insisted that Miss West was not the
choice OF Dawson county and to stand
by Miss Taubman. Then they looked
on in ghoulish glee while Miss West
was slaughtered in the house of her
friends. But such is politics.
AS to what Miss Vests chances
would have been had Dawson county
stood by her even after Goodykoontz's
defeat, point to the vote. Miss West
secured % per cent. with three candi-
dates in the field. Out of all the coun-
ties represented not to exceed twelve
counties were informed of her candi-
dacy until Mr.. Smith arose to make the
nomination and only about one hours

ticket had be asked it and had Dawson

to the best sentiments of the conven-

Together and Enjoy Life Thorough

WILL DO BUSINESS TOGETHER

Champeny Bros. and Chas Ferguson Will
For some time past a rumor has been
in circulation that deal was on the
tapis to consolidate the mercantile in
terests o. Champeny Bros. and Chas.
Ferguson. The rumor proves to be
correct and about the middle of August
the new firm will commence business
relations under the firm name of
Champeny, Ferguson & Co., the capital
stock of the corporation to be 10000.
Mr.. Ferguson will turn in his stock of
goods and will purchase a one-third
interest in the stock of merchandise,
Champeny Bros. retaining the owner
ship OF the building and the creamery.
The entire management of the store
will devolve upon Mr.. Ferguson, who,
during his several years residence in
the city, has shown his ability to build
up and extend business venture. 1t
will be regular department store and
interior changes in the building will be
made to admit OF an increased stocking
up OF the several departments in the
new store. After the consolidation the
department store will be run on a
strictly cash basis, the corporation be-
lieying this to be the best plan on which
to conduct the business safely and
conservatively. Champeny Bros. are
an old and established firm in Mitchell
and have shown their faith in the pros
perity of the town in various ways,
their latest being the erection of a
complete creamery plant, when it
seemed inevitable that all other plans
would fail and this last move will un-
doubtedly prove of much benefit to all
business interests in the city. While
Mr.. Ferguson has resided in Mitchell
only few years, yet in that time he
has demonstrated his success as a
business man and won a great many
warm friends. The new corporation
will be strong combination and un.
doubtedly will do big business. Later
in the season the firm will put steam
heat in the entire building securing the
steam from the creamery on the west
end of the store building. The REPUB
LICAN hopes the firm will be entirely
successful in the consolidation, as they
are deserving OF it in every respect.
