The following telegr am shows the
sentiment which prevails throughout
the district on the wisdom OF the repub-
lican convention in making as itscandi-
date the Hon. Page Morris, and its
endorsement OF the St. Louis platforms:
Sank Centre, Mimi, July IS, 1896.
Joseph Sellwood, Duluth,
The republicans of Sank Centre con-
graduate Judge Morris and assure hrn
our cordial support. Not only is the
nomination strong and fitting one SO.
far as his personality is concerned, but
we express our utmost confidence in him
as the representative of the principles
laid down at St. Lonis. Alden. Sprague,

luDcE MORRIS has accepted the chal-
lenge OF Charles A. Towne to a point
discussion of the issue of the campaign,
with slight modification. To reporter
the Judge said:
"Will accept it? Most assuredly. in
some shape. though cannot consent to
devote fvewee to snch an undertaking.
shall be more or less engaged with my
judicial duties until Sept. L. After that
/ will gladly meet Mr.. Towne in joint
debate. though assure you he will not
escape wit h discussion OF the financial
question alone. There are other issues
and very important ones in this cam
paign. can scarcely believe that Mr..
Towne is in earnest in proposing hve
weeks OF joint debate; doubt whittier
he could stand the strain. | am sure l
shall not try to do SO. Half of that
time ought to be enough to devote to
the matter"

Blaine county people are anxious
to see Tom Fay defeated for com
missioner of the LIST district ia
Lincoln county. They have no
care as to who runs this county,
and can't even manage their own
without trouble, but they know
Tom Fay is onto their schemes,
has no interests in their county,
can't be "oiled" and is ever ready to
fight them to a finish. Their de-
sires are not going to be considered
by the voters OF this county, this
year, for Tom has been chosen, al
ready, to be commissioner, and re
main thorn in the side of the
Blaineites, and guardian OF the
rights of the taxpayers of Lincoln
county.

In the year 1895 the assessment
roll showed that there were 1896
head of cattle in this county, while
in 1896 there were 5,161 head, show

roll shows 32,7S5 head of sheep in
1895, and 1882 head in 1896, an
increase of 41,027. Such statistics
as these show that capital as well as

VOTE FOR LIBERTY MIL
LET FOR COM sIONER OF
DISTRICT NO. 3.

Fred t. Dubois. of the piccolc
voice, and Borah, the boy orator of
the Boise, both addressed large
audiences in this place during the
past few days. Aside from self
praise by Mr.. Dubois, concerning
his public life, Mr.. Borah and he
spoke as one man, and directed
their abuse at Senator George Il.
Shoup. Men who know anything
of western history know that when
these two wise and wonderfully
smart orators were in their swad-
ding clothes, that George l.. Shoup
was to the front and lighting for
the west. George l.. Shoup has re.
presented the west as a soldier and
statesman. Read his record in
Colorado, in Idaho, and elsewhere
in this glorious west, and you win
lind him in the foreground or every |
that has brought us
prosperity. Such assertions as
were made by Messrs. Borah and |
Dubois as against George l.. Shoup
would not have been tolerated be-
fore Colorado audience, and no
speaker would make it, except his
greed for public office had throttled
his honor and principle. 1t takes
Ill kinds OF people to make up
world, and if the bible speaks cor.
,ectly, it will be remembered that
Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus
Christ for thirty peices of silver
Even SO it is with Dubois.

A Feathe' ed Criminal.

Il suppose" said man wh' had spent
much Of bis life 10 the woods, that II We
knew more of wild animals We should
fiud iu them most of the qualities that
characterize human beings. / went up
TO Aroostook county, Me, earl y last year
to get the first of the spring fishing.
When the birds began to return l was
glad to see that eight or ten pairs of barn
sws llows, which had built under the
caves of my cabin the year before, were
going to repair the old nests.
"They went at once to little spring
about mile away, where there was
some very sticky and tenacious mud.
They would fill their mouths at the spring
fiy back to the cabin. and plaster the lit
tie wad of mud on the nest They worked
very industriously, flying backward and
forth from dawn till sunset.
"But by and by noticed that one oil
the spring. He sat on bis nest, hung his
head and acted as if sick. The others
wheeled around him little while and
then few away.
"The moment they were out of sight
be raised bis head, flew to one of the 9th
er nests, and began TO pull off the fresh
mud which the owner had Just left When
he had good mouthfull he went back TO
his own nest and plastered it on.
"BY the time the other birds came
back with more clay he was drooping in
his nest again, looking as if be were 10
the last stages OF consumption. Now
and then, when the rest Of the birds were
near, he would peep a little as fto say:
% how sick am! If you onl y knew how
bad feell and the other birds 6uttered
about him as if they we're trying to sym
pathize with him, or advising him what
to take. But the minute they were gone
he was out, pulling mud off their nests to
build his own with.
"This lasted nearly all the afternoon,
and the thief was getting on finely. He
had his nest almost done; for he did not
have to 90 a distance for materials, and
could put on two or three mouthfuls OF
mud while :he others were getting one.
He had too much intelligence to steal all
his mud from one nest, so the lOss was
not noticed for some time.
But his sins found him out at last.
| One of the other swallows got back be-
fore he was expected, and found the rob-
b,r y p'undering his house. He pitch, d
upon the thief at once aud they fell 10
fighting. Then tho rest of the flock be-
gan to return. l suppose the first one
screamed, in swallow language: &c 'me
herei Come herr! This lazy rascal has
been stealing our mud!
.'In an instant there was tremendous
chatterng. The whole flock began te
peck at the. thief and to beat him with
their wing. They drove him out OF hi
nest and away across the stream. Their
they all fell to and pulled from his mes
all the mud that was fresh enough to USE
on their own.

Why the Country Boy is Needed,

1t has long since became an establis he'd
fact that the ablest and most success1ul
men in our great commonwealth are the
sons of farmers and the majority of them
have grown to manhoods estate IN the
country. Go into any of odr large cities
and converse few minutes with the
most successful business men there and
you are not long in finding out that the
greater number of them came from the
country to the town comparatively poor
Young men. Look at them now, in many
cases they are the men who run the town,
80 to speak. Why is this constant drain
upon the country to supply the world
with statesmen, orators, preachers, mer-
chants and men eminently fitted for every
station in life2 Why is it, We are asked
| when town boys and girls have every
| advantage over country youths towards
educational and mental attainments, you
must look to the country for men to fill
their most important positionf Pick out
of any city or town fifty yonng men Oh
maidens and take an equal number o
the same age from among the sons and
daughters Of our intelligent farmers ano
wa will guarantee that the minds of th'
latter are better filled with general usetu
knowledge, and the farmers son is usual
ly the best equipped, for lifs's battle, o
I. the two; though it may be the ooast
the city boy that he has more knowledg
: of the world in the tip end of his finge
than the country lad has in bis head.
There are two reasons to account 10
this; first, there is no country in the worl'

November RECORD Broken.


CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Wheat broke the
record for Novembe this morning by
selling at S01ac for December, 2 cents
advance over Saturdays close. The ad-
vance was not attended by great excite
ment. Few open orders to take profit
on long stuff at even figures brought
only temporary setback. Outside
markets were particularly strong. The
visible increase was only 1,243, 900
bushels.
The threatened crop damage in Argen-
tina, doleful rumors of unsatisfactory
fall seeding in Russia and France and
large seaboard clearances were the chief
factors which contributed to the success
of the bulls. Corn, oats and provisions
participated IN the advance proportion
ately.
