health, wealth and happiness" With
out contented wOrkmen, we cannot
hope to have satisfactory results.
This is not sentimental, but plain
common sense, the result Of the ex.
perience and observation of practical
business men. Even those who have
the care Of prisoners recognize the i'm
portance of this feature. One OF the
Russian exile prisons, IL Siberia, is sur
rounded by a high palisa0e. EXiles
have no comforts within the prison
walls AID no pleasant prospects with
out, for there Is the high enclosure.
As a consequence, many Of them be
come insane. We d. hot compare u
pleasant quarters to a prison, or our
w0rkunen to prisoners, but We do not
want them surrounded by IL high pail
sado OF town, or city vice impurities.
We DO want to surround them with
~ purer air and q broader view"
Let me say right here that, wish ali
respect 20 those who think differently,
l do not think the property worth three
or four times what it cost, but is worth
erery cent that was paid for il. For
Tie purposes Of the Alliance it is a
good business site. The need now ia
the hearty Cooperation Of the entire
membership.
Whenever the Flrmcr8' Alliance has
5zen united ana II earnest, 1t has
known 10 failure. l.; us rally to this
enterprise and make 1t our greatoss
achievement.
NV. dear PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
nearly every time I vake up a copy OF
your pages and see the awful silence on
the part OF most of the brethren on
thiz subject, I feel very much di5ap
point d. Soldiers need to hear the
bugle's call. So do we. Let cur Sec
retaries, lecturers and all enthusiastic
Alllanccmen sound the trumpet and
we will rally, a solid body, to carry
this enterprise TO success.
If tn s subject IS not agitatod now,
and the work begun at once, i will
meet q great rebuff in the excitement
o. the coming campaign Even already
men are forgetting everything else and
neglectiDg their more vital interests.
If l we're a man, I would endeavor by
all the means in ny power, by voic.
ard pea, to agi;ate this Important sub

The Alliance owns here sufficient
property to allow space for houses,
factories, gardens, ETC., but there is
already plenty of house room, which,
at a small expense, can be made very
pleasant and comfortable for opera
tives, and still leave ample room for
machinery.

most excellent. The scenery is varied

MURDERED BY BURGLARS.
Thomas Curtin of Lake Elmo, Minn,
Ia Killed

st. Paul, Aug. 25.-The quiet little
village Of Lake Elmo was aroused this
morning by number Of shots in rapid
succession, followed by a woman's
screams for help. The disturbance
came from the saloon Of Thomas Cur
lin. & Co., and when the villagers
fastened to the scene they We're
startled to find Thomas Curlin dead
upon the floor of his bed room. His
wife was still in bed crying for help.
The murder was the work of burglars.
They secured only about 50 in small
change from the money dra wer They
fed Immediately after the murder and
they have not been caught. The muir
derers effected al entrance to the
place in an easy manner, and at once
rlf1ed the money drawer. But in
moving about the bar room the men
stumbled over some cuspedors which
had been piled up near the end Of the
counter and the noise aroused Mrs
Curtin. She awoke her husband and
asked him to get up and investigate.
Listening for a moment and hearing
the movements Of the men, Mr.. Cur
lin got up and reached under his pill
low for a revolver. At that moment
voice commanded him to keep quiet
and shots followed. Who first fired
is not known, but Curlin sank upon
the edge Of the bed, and, crying out,
"Oh, Gussie," fell upon the floor, dead.
The murderers then escaped.

Upper Red Hook, N. Y, Aug. 26.-
William J. Bryan, accompanied by
Mrs. Bryan and Private Secretary Cut
right, left Red Hook to-day to begin
their homeward journey to Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan has gained flesh during his
weeks sojourn, and is in high spirits,
inspired particularly by an approach
ing meeting with Senator Hill, Chair
man Hinckley and other Democratic
leaders, which he expects will result
in assurances of the politically solid
support of the state organization.
The party drove to Rhinecliff, where
