Cut In Salaries.

1t is learned that railroad men on the
Northern Pacific expect cut in salaries
and q reduction in the force owing to
the light traffic on the road. President
Winters Is already reducing salaries, and
according to dispatch from St. Paul, it
is SAID the cut will average 80 per cent
Main officials had their salaries cut
down, IN some places as high as thoue-
and dollars per year. Numerous dis
charges have also occurred, according to
the dispatch, in the clerical force. The
other employees will necessarily be
affected in the same way, if the policy of
economic management is carried out.
This is not pleasant prospect to con-
template by the wage Garner at the
opening Of winter, but is the inevitable
result Of declining prices and loss of
freight and passenger business.

WELL RECEIVED
Mrs. Krekel's Speech at the
ArmOry.

Mrs. Krekel's speech at the armory
Friday was closely listened to by an
audience that filed every chair in the
house, as we'll as planks across chars.
Some three hundred persons. many
ladies, gave the speaker their undivided
attention and hearty applause. There
we're many laboring men also in the hall
and q few farmers who live near the city.
The speaker quoted from the utter
ances of public men of both old parties.
She produced her authorities, Her
quotations from Sherman, Carlisle and
Garfield we're apt and strlkingly to the
point. Mrs. Krekel's arguments were
mainly directed to comparison Of the
past prosperous times under free coinage
OF both silver and gold with the present

Hail Insurance Assessments.

The directors of the Alliance Hail
association will assess the full amount
Of the premium-30c an acre. This is
necessary on account OF the heavy losses.
The acreage insured is also less than
last year owing to the unusual crop con-
ditions, IN the Red River valley where
much of the business of the association
Is obtained, at the time when grain Is
insured. For four or five weeks no rain
fell in that valley and the crop outlook
was so dubious, combined with the late
and wet spring, that many did not in
sure considering 1t question whether
or not they would have any crop to
harvest. The percentage of losses to
acreage Insured is slightly less this year
than last.

declared for the maintenance Of the
single gold standard and the plank was
approved by bond syndlcstes of New
York. As to the international agree
ment she quoted the words of the presi-
dent Of the New York bank association
that it was dream.
Mrs. Krekel asked If any one could
name trust, or corporation not for the
gold standard.
She observed that the other fellows
had the gold and we had the standard.
She asked where the gold had already

II challenge you to search in all

instance where the mass of the
people were ever benefited by
legislation that increased the value
Of the dollar in which debts had to
be paid. [Applause. Our op-
ponents sometimes tell us that this
silver sentiment is disease. If
SO, it will run its course, like
whooping cough or the measels.
It is not disease. The silver
sentiment is the outgrowth Of a

that sentiment arose. / can re-

between the new yellow fever and

low fever killed the people who
had the fever; the new yellow
fever is death to the people who
do not have the fever. Tremen-
dous applause.
"How can you restore bimetal-

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 8.-The fol-
lowing address and appeal for funds
were issued from the populist head
quarters today:
ITO every American Patriot The peo-
ple's party, as it's name implies, Is the
champion of the masses who labor and
produce wealth. To the efforts of this
party is due the revolt Of the masses of
the democratic party, which resulted in
turning down the Cleveland sdministra-
tion and it's British financial policy, and
the nomination Of William J. Bryan on
a platform demanding financial inde-
pendence for the United States.
"Your national committee is doing the
best it can against rich and powerful
combinations. For us to stand any
hope Of winning. you must uphold US.
II we could have but one cent for every
$40 used by the enemy we could carry
on Q vigorous campaign that would
mean their defeat.
"This is your fight. 1t IS our fight.
Hold up our hands and we will do our
duty IN the terrible struggle. Don't
wait for somebody else to move. What
is every body's business is nobody's busi-
ness. Make this your business. At once
see several of your neighbors; try to get
each one to contribute at least ST. II
some cannot do this then get each one
to give as much as he can. In short,
take up subscription in your commun-
ity at once and forward the amount,
with the names Of the contributors, to
M. G. Rankin, Terre Haute, Ind, our
national treasurer. Also at the same
time notify your national chairman at
Washington, D. c., Of the amount thus
forwarded. There js no time to lose. 1t
IS now only eight weeks until the battle
will be won or lost. Be the first in your
community to forward subscription.
We must win this fight. Let each do
his duty, and victory awaits US.

Cb'n National Peoples Party Com'ittee.

The Silver Nine Owner.

William j. Bryan: IF it is as
serted by our opponents that the
free coinage of silver is intended
only for the benefit of mine
owners, it must be remembered
that free coinage cannot restore
to the mine owners any more than
demonstration took away, and it
must also be remembered that the
loss which the characterization of
silver has brought to the mine
owners is insignificant compared
to the loss which this policy has
brought to the rest of the people.
The restoration of silver will bring
to the people generally many times
as much advantage as the mine
owners can obtain from it. While
it is not the purpose of free coin
age to especially aid any particu-
lar class, yet those who believe
that the restoration of silver is
needed by the whole people should
not be deferred because an incl
dental benefit will come to the
mine owner. The erection of
forts, the deepening of harbors,
the improvement Of rivers, the
erection of public buildings-all
these confer incidental benefits
upon individuals and communi-
ties, and yet these incidental bene-
fits do not deter us from making
appropriations for those purposes
whenever such appropriations are
necessary for the public good

Flax Helps Wheat Ground.

Farmers who have observed the re-
suits Of sowing wheat on ground IN
which fax has been grown, say the fax
crop helps wheat very much. The
change in crops improves the nature Of
the soil for wheat. Flax ground is said
to be as good as summer fallow land for
wheat. Wheat does better sown after
any other crop such as potatoes, oats,
&c, but fax appears to help the soil the
b. at OF all crops.

COUNTY EXPENSES.
! Glance at Some of the
Items in the List.
Reports That Northern Pacific
Will Cut Salaries
Soon.

At the meeting Of the county commls.
sioners Tuesday the annual tax levy for
the current fiscal year was made and, for
the first time since 1890, at least, small
decrease in the amount deemed necessary
for running tho county wss made. In
1891 $25,OOO was deemed sufficient for
the expenses Of Stutsmsn county, but
this amount was increased from year to
year until 1895 when the maximum
reached total tax levy Of s34, 500, an in
crease Of 38 per cent IN the brief space Of
five years in the amount to be paid by
the taxpayers of the county. But the
decrease this year is not sufficient to
make showing, being but 5000 in the
aggregate, less than last years large ex-
pense. In the general fund there is
decrease of $1,000 but this fund is now
$4,000 larger than it was in 1893 and is
maintained at $4,000 higher than in 1891
and 1892 was considered sufficient.
For the first time since 1891 when
$4,000 was levied for the road fund the
commissioners were Of the opinion that
q less sum than $1,000 year would be
sufficient to expend on the county's dirt
roads, and 80 they made levy of 5000
this year instead of $1,000. Also for the
bridge fund $500 less Is deemed sufficient
than has been used for four years or
since 1891, when $500 was levied. The
sinking fund was increased $500 over
last year and sl,C00 over 1894. The tax
levy for 1896 as made by the commits.
sioners ls:
General fund, $4,000; sinking fund,
5000; road fund, 5000. and bridge
fund $500; total, s31. 1.5CO.
The assessed valuation of property IN
the county has been reduced materially
this year, about $4,000 alone IN the city,
the amount in the county is not yet
definitely but is considerable,
and it is not improbable that there may
be an increase IN the rate of taxation.
In the last four years the tax payers of
this county have been taxed $4,000 for
roads and $4,000 for bridges.

away, he turns around and shouts
at me that I am trying to array
my family against him.
When men array themselves
against society, society has a right
to array itself against them. When
syndicates try to run this govern
ment, the people who are opposed
to syndicates have right to array
themselves against. them, and no
abuse that their agents can heap
upon US, no names that they can
call us, can drive as from what we
conceive to be not only our right,
but our duty, to defend our homes
and our fresides against their in
vasion.
You cannot have a dollar that
buys more unless you have prop
erty that sells for less. Now, that
is a fair proposition, SO simple that
anybody who has money and wants
it to 60 up can understand the ad-
vantage Of gold standard, and
anybody who has property and
does not want it to go down, can
understand the advantage Of
bimetallism. This is the compli-
Gated subject that you are told
about. This is the great deep
question you are not supposed to
understand.
People who talk most of inter
national bimetallism are the very
ones who have done the most that
they could to prevent it. It is
held out every four years as a sort
of bait, a bundle of oats in front
of a horses nose to pull him on.
A RAP AT THE GOLD CONVENTION.
We are willing to fight the re-
publican party upon it's platform,
and we are willing to fight any
body who opposes our position,
and will come out and SO state,
and We will give to our opponents
who advocate what they believe
all credit for honesty and sincerity
of purpose, but, my friends, when
a party, as did the party at Indian
apolis, puts up one man for the
purpose of electipg another, we
deny that these men can be any
more honest in their desire for
honest money than they we're in
politics in the past. The conven-
tion at Indianapolis was held in
the interest of republican success.
If they had had the courage that
ought to follow conviction they
would have endorsed Mr.. McKin-
Icy, for whom they expect to vote.
We are far more pleased to have
with us those who were repub-
licans but are today for the money
of the constitution and an Ameri-
can financial system for the Ameri-
can people, than we would be to
have with us those men who when
they could not run the democratic
party in the interest of all the cor
porations of this country are at
tempting to 60 over into the
republican party by degrees.

long will we have to wait? If our
opponents succeed in this election
can they give us any assurance as
to how long it will take foreign
nations to help us restore conf.
dence? There is no assurance.
''The success of our opponents
in this campaign simply means
four years more of agitation, and
then the trial of the remedy which
we ask you to give. We propose
that this agitation, which has
lasted for twenty years, shall cul-
inmate now in the restoration of
the gold and silver coin of the
constitution. That is all we ask.
''There is no way we can stop
agitation. You say you don't be-
lieve in the ratio Of Is to l. I tell
you that whether you believe in
that ratio or not, if you believe in
bimetallism you have got to cast
your votes with bimetallism and
not with monometallism. We be-
lieve that this nation without
waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation is able, by open
ing it's mints to free and unlimited
coinage at Is to l, to create a de-
mand for silver great enough to
absorb all the silver that will be
presented at our mints. and by SO
doing maintain the parity between
gold and silver at the ratio of l6 to
L." Applause.

and Emigration Agent Mott of the
Northern Pacific came in Saturday on a
special car and left for Darlington, to be
present tomorrow at the dedication Of
the new Dunksrd church in that place.
The occasion has been looked farward to
by the Dunkard brethren with great
interest, and several of the leading men,
bers Of the church IN the east also went
north today accompanied by their
families, to be present on the occasion.
Among them were Business Manager
Amick of the Dunkard organ, the Gospel
Messenger, also Editor j. II. Moore, Rev.

desire to better their condition.

ing for locations.
Mr.. Phipps says that the sales of land
this year have been so much larger than
usual that he expects to locate large
number Of coloniets in this part Of the
state and in this county next year.
He says the sale of grazing lands west
Of jamestown belonging to the North.
ern Pacific company will be given close
attention in the future. The chief draw.
back now is that the government holds
this character OF land the same as more
valuable farm lands and stockmen will
not pay the government price for rsnge.H
the government would reduce the price
to s1.25 an acre it would be great in
duoement to stookmen to buy range
land and fence 1t in. There is no res.
son why all this land should not be
taken up and utilized for stock
Land Commissioner Phlpps believes
the Campbell system Of cultivation will
prove great help to this country,
especially in the southern part Of the
state, Another project IL view is the
sinking of an artesisn we'll IN one Of the
counties where water is obtained at q
less depth than in the James river valley,
and the experiment of watering small
tract Of soil.
The Northern Pacific land commits
sioner is alive to the necessities OF the
country and the needs OF the settlers
and his energetic work and liberal policy
will do much if continued, to develope
the state, aud induce the most desirable
GLASS Of people to become permanent
