behind you. Their memories of thee
are tender and endurable. To me
you we're better than brother-com-
rade, friend. The happy days of
childhood we spent together. Side
by side we passed together through
the spring of life, working for each
other. To you 1 came for council
and from you I received it wisely.
Ever ready to assist and protect you
made my life part of the one that
has left, this world. Beneath the
sterness of humanity always found
the softer side of nature. May thy
spirit wander peacefully in the great
beyond-in that darkness or light that
we call death. May the wind blow
softly over the Wondering remains as
the grass above thee will be kept
green by the tears of father, mother,
brothers and sisters.

Judge John P. Rea of Minneapolis,
is doing the towns in this section of
the State for free silver. One of the
statements that Judge Rea is making
is to the effect that coercion was used
in order to get laboring men out for
the Bourke Cochran sound money
parade in Minneapolis. AS result of
this statement the Minneapolis Jour-
nal has been authorized to offer 500
to anyone who will prove that coercion
was used to induce men to march in
the sound money parade prior to the
Cochran meeting. The 500 will be
given in every case where coercion is
proved.

two years ago.

It is a noticeable fact that the mer-
chants of Redwood Falls continue to
sell goods cheaper than they have in
former years. The very fact that
wheat is on the upward scale seems to
have the effect of putting goods-the
necessaries of life, on the downward
scale. This instance might be used
as an illustration on the money ques-
tion-place cheap money in use and
they will go downward. A careful in
vestigation of this fact will convince
all voters.
