HON. r. @. EVANS
interests a Large Number De-
spite the Weather.

Last Friday night was the closing
event of the present campaign in
Morris as far as the Republicans
were concerned, and those who braved
the storm and run the risk of break
ing limb on the slippery sidewalks,
together with the able address listened
to will be compelled to cherish the
memories of this notable event for
some time to come, because he can't
forget it. L. 0. Foss, the representa-
tive from this district gave a short
address and was followed by R. G.,
Evans, the speaker Of the evening.
Mr. Evans, of course. is we'll know n
here, having spoken on three differ
ert times before, and if it had not
been for the weather the court house
would not have held one half the
crowd. AS it was the court house
was comfortably we'll filed, and in
cluded many ladies. The enthusi-
asm ran high and for nearly two
hours the audience was all attention.
1t was undoubtedly one Of the ablest
addresses ever delivered in Morris
and was delivered with telling effect.

Horse Thief Caught,

The authorities have had rather a
lively time in capturing the horse
thief that purloined Sever Larson's
horse, harness and buggy some time
ago. A man by the name Of George
Hoover, who was employed by Mr..
Larson during the summer, stole the
buggy and harness about the first of
September and soon after quit work
ing for Mr.. Larson and went to wor k
for some neighbor a few miles dis
lance. Soon after, about the first of
October, Mr.. Larson's horse disap-
peared, as we'll as Hoover from his
last place.
Mr.. Larson, suspecting his man,
traced him to Wadena county, where,
with the aid of constable, he secured
his arrest. The prisoner was securely
handcuffed and guarded by two men
and he made his escape by jumping
through a window and taking to his
feet Getting rid of the handouts he
armed himself with an ak and refused
to surrender. A shot from the con-
stables revolver shattered his arm,
whereupon he dropped the ak and
started to run. Another shot, which
took effect in the same arm, soon
brought him to his senses and he
threw up his hands, He was brought
in last Monday afternoon and lodged
in jail.

Election is over, and the campaign
of 1896 goes down in history, and will
be handed down from generation to
generation, as the most notable and
hottest contested campaign in the
history of the United States. The

they have emphatieally set their foot
down on free trade and reputation.
Hon. William Mckinley will be the

a span of horses and wagon that were
mortgaged todifferent parties in Nor
ris. Saturday G, E. Camp, who holds
a mortgage on one of the horses, Sc
cured warrant for Anderson's arrest
on the ground of removing mortgaged
property without the consent Of the

patched Sunday night for Breckin-

no intention on his part to defraud

There are several neighborhoods in
Minnesota where one or two farmers
practically supply nearly all other
farmers with pigs every spring and
the other farmers turn their attention
to something else. This plan has
worked we'll for both sides and as the
breeders have taken pains in the
selection of sires, there has been a
marked improvement in the quality
of the pork sold from those neighbor-
hoods. 1t requires some time to get
a whole neighborhood to fall into
new ways but cooperative enterprises
among farmers have done wonders in
bringing them together and removing
those little jealousles and rivalries
that always keep back progress when
they get a foothold Where cream
cries and cheese factories have been
a success, it is not difficult to get
hearing when some new plan is pro-

mote mutual interest Northwestern

Eckels' recommendation of an amend
ment to the national banking law
would have similar effect, but the
fault lies ineradicably in the frailty of
human nature under stress of tempta-
ton. We do not think that these
losses, appalling as their magnitude
seems. indicate an increase of dishon-
esty or of untrustworthiness Were the
data attainable we think it would ap-
pear that, considering the amount of
business and the quantity of money
circulating, the proportion would be
found to be diminishing one. But
while this affords some consolation, it
does not warrant any relaxation or the
deferring of more stringent guards
against the improper use of trust
money.
