The county commissioners met
yesterday afternoon, but adjourned
until Monday without transacting
business, owing to the absence of
members at the twin cities.
The slight rain which has fallen
the past two days has laid the dust,
at any rate, and cleared the at
mosphere of it's smoky condition. 1t
also brought another cool wave. The
week has been good one for the do
ings at the twin cities.
Lake Crystal U1aiOn:-lt has been
estimated that the sum expended by
the stock buyers in this place for
stock bought upon this market in the
past year was $4,000. This certainly
is good showing. just the exact
amount of this sum that fell into our
merchants and business mems hands
is hard to tell, but they would have
felt the lack of it's stimulating in
fiuences if that amount had been
pocketed and spent in other towns.

FRANK DAYS Martin County Se1ati-
mel in claiming that under free coinage
a silver dollar would be worth as
much as a gold dollar because of the
stamp upon it, and says what "Uncle
Sam says goes" If that is so, then why
did not the Popocrats make some
declaration in favor of the farmer and
the wage Garner? Why is all their
favor devoted to the millionaire mine
owner ?Why, if what "Uncle Sam says
goes" did they not declare in favor
of legislation that would raise the
price of wheat to S1.O0 or S1.25 per
bushel, and double that of all other
farm products. Such move would
be of some value to the farmer. Why
not have law doubling the wages of
all wage-earners? Such move would
be of some benefit to labor. If the
price of silver can be raised by law
without creating a demand for it, it
would be just as easy to double the
price of wheat or of labor by law with
out creating any new demand for
either. Why should one class of rich
mine owners be benefited at the ex-
pense OF the farmers and of labor?

THE FREE PRESS congratulates
Bro. Neff on dropping his Populistic
notions and coming out for the entire
Republican ticket and sound money.
The whole ticket looks a good deal
better than did a part of it, at the
head of his columns, and Bro. Neff
will find himself much happier bat
Ting for the cause of true Republi-
canism, sound money, protection and
prosperity, than in writing Populistic
squibs to tickle the palate of the
Popocrats.

enough to fully satisfy them. Tuesday
night the crowd was so great in Min

Yellowstone
Park

as the years go by, as being the
GREAT PARK of the land. The
great feature of it is the fact that
it is not a man made park. True
enough man has built roads and
bridges and hotels in order that he
may see the park, but he has not yet
tried his hand at constructing new
tangled geysers, or re-adorning or re-
sculpturing the Grand Canon of the
Yellowstone These are as God left
them. There, too, the elk, bear, deer,
and other animals are not enclosed in
wire fences. They wander free and
unfretted whithersoever they will.
Mans handiwork is but little seen and
the park is the grander for it. Send
Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger Agt.,
Northern Pacific Railroad, six cents
for Wonderland '96, and read about
the Park.

The book Classics consumption as a

had a fve-years' contract. they therefore
stood to lose 5000 by the inclusion Of the
Michigan club. The board declined 10
