an honest warden until Sir Isaac New
ton was appointed TO the office. He
dropped everything to make the sup
ply equal the demand. and so to stop
the money famine, and the consequent
sufferings of the working classes. He
ran up the output of the mint until II
reached hundred thousand dollars a
day, which was the amount issued on
July 4, 1896.
While it was possible to buy any
thing for the old debased and clipped
money, no person would willingly pay
out the full-value coin. and almost the
entire issue was boarded up. 1t thus
became evident that until so much good
money had been issued that the capi-
talists could no longer afford to carry
1t all, there could be no real return to
sound money. Macaulay informs us
that it was not until August, 1896 ex-
actly 200 years ago this month, that
the keenest observer could detect the
slightest sign of returning prosperity"
Is this picture the stern light of a
ship that has passed? Are we about to
steer the same course of financial folly?
And, If SO, shall we have another such
scene as one described in those days by
Macaulay? a bowling mob of the
populist persuasion of those days, led
by some orator of the Bryan type, de-
manded from the government that 1t
would take their debased money. which
1t had issued in days gone by, and
give them new coin for it. An astute
member of Parliament Immediately
consented, and asked them how much
they had. The entire mob of deluded
free silverites was unable to produce
more than So worth of clipped half
crowns!

least two days, while a week or more

sees only pure unadulteIated nature.
Eight miles from Banff, within the con-
fines of the park, is a lovely lake, popu-
larly known as Devils Lake" The
superintendent of the park, in his eff

named it Lake Minnewanka-for this is
no place for the dwelling of his satanic
majesty. This sheet of water is located

with granite mountains surrounding
it on either side, without foliage or soil,
but with SUBMITS weathered with melt

MOORHEAD, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE
county OF Clay, in which this city is
situated, has, for some time past.
been considered reliably Populistic'
This year, however, there appears to
be a different state of affairs. The
sound money people have been putting
up strong fight, which they will con-
tinue until election day, and the good
results are already becoming apparent.
IN 1888 the vote Tor governor was: Mel
son, Republican, 1,109; Owen, Populist
l,S2S; Becker, Democrat, 248: Hilleboe'
prohibition, 101. Nelson, however. Is
extraordinarily popular and his vote
Was fully $50 ahead of the rest of tbe
Republican ticket. It may be stated
that the Populists have a vote in the
county exceeding the Republicans by
between 5O0 and 400. In the month
or July the silver movement seemed
to be gaining great strength. but since
then decline has set In, and it ia
confidently expected that the Demo-
cratic and Republican sound money
vote will exceed that Of the free silver
coinage party. Recently E. e. LON
men, the Demopop candidate for con-
gress, heid a meeting in this city which
was a dismal failure, less than one
hundred and fifty people turning ont
to hear him. This Is a great contrast
to the trip through the county iust
concluded by Congressman Eddy. who
has, in the past week, held six meet
fngs at various points In the county.
and in each instance the size of his
audience was only limited by the ca
pacfty of the hall in which the meet
ing was held. At GAINESVILLE, espe-
eially, was Mr.. Eddy's greeting most
enthusiastic. The hall could not begin
to accommodate the crowd and the en-
thusiasm was unbounded Two years
ago Mr.. Eddy's vote in Clay county
was 1.051. while the combined oppo-
sition mustered 1928 votes, of which
Boon, Populist, secured 1,147. This
year. beyond doubt, Mr.. Eddy will
carry the county and have votes to
spare.
For county officers there is practical
fusion between the Popuiists and
Democrats and the result is somewhat
doubtful, with the probabilities point
ing strongly to the election of a por-
ton of each ticket

than for them. And another thing that
counts against him with them Is that
In a speech made here at the insti
tuition of q Bryan and Lind club
about which, by the way, could get
no infornlation-Mr Lind said specific
ally that he would stand squarely upon
the Chicago platform, making no ref
erence to the st. Louis Populist declar-
alton. The Populists show this sore
ness, but 1t will not count for much,
though 1t may give some of the Nor
wegians an excuse for going to Clough.
Faribault county gave McCieary 1,3D4
majority two years ago, and there Is
not in the district man so fatuous
IN his devotion to silver as to claim
any Democratic or Populist gains there
this year. There were only 1859 men
In that county who had the courage to
vote for Long for congress, and their
numbers have not increased. There
were BIT Democrats there in 1894, and
their number has shrunk by some 200,
according to current report. The coun-
ty Is not much disturbed by politics. for
the minority is without hope. Fart
bault will give Mckinley and his fell
lows on the ticket at least 1,4O0 major
ity out of a total vote Of $500.
WatonWan county is, l believe, the
banner Republican county in proportion
to its size. In 1894 there were 435
votes cast against the Republican tick
ct, which polled 1893 The fusion vote
this year may reach 400, but not more,
for the Republicans have made palpable
gains from the Democracy on the mon
ey question. In Cottonwood there may
be fight on the county ticket between
the Republicans and the Populists, but
the 81 Democrats there were in the
county two years ago have no interest
In it this year, and they will not feel
the better for being practically wiped
out OF existence. The Republicans will
carry the county on the state and ma
tfonal tickets by upwards of 200 In
some localities in Nicollet county there
Is show of silver sentiment that may
slightly cut down the Republican vote.
There are reports Of silver clubs in Re-
publican districts in the county which
augur this, and indeed in one or two
towns where there has not hitherto
been any Democratic vote, these clubs
have developed, especially at New
Sweden, to which I have referred be-
fore. Two years ago there was a Re-
publican majority of 1873, a plurality of
COS over the Democratic nominee for
congress. McCleary may hold his own
In the county, but Mckinley will not
run up with him, and Clough is likely
to suffer through the Lind Silver clubs
which have been organized among the
Scandinavians for the benefit Of Lind
alone.

AITKIN, Oct. 11--As the Sd of No

lem in Aitkin county seems more diff
cult to solve than at any previous
time since the ST. Louis and Chicago
conventions. Now that the legislative
and county conventions have all been
held, one can look over the field and
make some fair predictions as to the
probably results, but of course there
are surprises in politics, and this year
may be year of surprises.
A1tkln county in 1894 cast 1.125
votes for governor. OF these Nelson.

ocrat, lis; Owen, Peoples, 24S, and Hill
leboe, Prohibition, IL. The Democrats.
refusing to support Mr.. Becker, cast
their votes for Mr.. Owen, bringing that
gentleman's vote far in advance Of
his real party vote. The vote for con-
gresham more closely shows their
party strength, Halvorsen receiving
only "a votes, while ex-Congressman
Baldwin, the Democratic candidate for
congress, received 296 votes, 178 more
than Becker. Baldwin's vote was very
near the actual strength Of the Demo-
cratic party in Aitkin county In the
election of 1892 the vote for governor
resulted as follows: Nelson, Republi-
can, 1856; LAWYER, Democrat, 1859. and
Donnelly, Peoples. Ill. This year all
things are changed, and it is hardly
probably Mr.. Clough will hold the US
ual Republican majority John Lind
will certainly take many Republicans
from Clough in every precinct in this
county. The Democrats and Populists
have very few If any deserters from
Lind among their ranks, and it is al
most safe prediction at this time
TO give Aitkin county to John Lind.
hot
Tor congressional honors is a hard one.
Mr.. Fowne certainly has warm friends
among all parties. The Democrats and
Popuiists are standing by him almost
to man. He will lose very few
votes from either of those parties.
while 1T Is conceded by all he will take
some Of his Republican vote of two
years ago with him this time In 1894
ToWne received 679 votes to 800 for
Baldwin and Halvorsen. Now if he
holds 30 per cent Of that 800 (which he
most certainly will do) and can carry
only 20 per cent Of his former vote
he will have $40 votes, which will al
most assure him the county, for there
were only 1853 votes cast here for CON
gresham two years ago. OF course
that will be increased, but Towne will
proht as much as his opponent by the
increase. The battle is a royal one
and either side can claim the county

senate and legislative fight has hardly
begun to develop at this time. The

by the Democrats of Hon Thos r

CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D., Oct. 1.-THE
suggestion that corn be burned as a
substitute for hard coal in South Da-
kota this winter Is meeting with favor
in a number of localities. Hard coal
is now being retailed at from $40 to Sill
per ton in the towns east Of the Mis-
souri, river, and west Of the river. in
the towns of the Black Hills and sur
rounding territory, it costs considera-
bic more. A gentleman who Is fully
competent to testify in the matter
estimates that two tons Of corn will go
as far and furnish as much heat as
one ton of hard coal. Besides beine,
cheaper, 1t Is figured that 1t will keep
thousands of dollars within the state
that would otherwise go to the coal
trust. The money paid for corn would
go into the pockets of farmers who
need it, and they in turn could pay
their debts with it. 1t is estimated
that Yankton county alone can con-
sumo 100000 bushels Of corn this fall
and winter for fuel. Experiments by
skeptics are said to have proved that
corn will make a good substitute for
coal and accordingly many farmers
throughout the state have decided to
retain sufficient amount of corn to
heat their dwellings until spring and
meet other demands. ?

AUSTIN, Mimi, Oct 1.-THE Min
nesota Southern i conference that
opened its annual session Wednes-
day morning in the Methodist church
here was suddenly brought to a close
on Saturday morning at the request of
the city authorities. ,Diphtheria was
sweeping the town to such an extent
that 1T was considered unsafe to allow
any public assemblies to convene.
The business Of the conference that
should have held over until TODAY or
tomorrow was transacted in such a
hurried manner that there is already
good deal Of dissatisfaction manifest
ed among the preachers and their
charges.
The admission Of women to the gen
eral conference is losing favor among
the clergy in the different conferences.
Up to the present time forty-nine con-
ferences have voted upon the question
OF admission of women, resulting in
800 more votes against the women than
last year, for last year they only lacked
90 votes of being admitted. When this
question was presented by the bishop
to this conference on Friday morning,
the result was, 81 opposed and II in
favor.
The State Epworth league was rep
resented by Miss Alice Brown; of Red
Wing, and the question of paying her a
regular salary was presented to the
conference, which resulted in several
hundred dollars being subscribed for
that purpose, her office being state
uperintendent of the Junior EpWorth
league. The Methodist book concern
was represented by DR.. III. c. Jennings.
recently presiding elder Of the Marshall
district, and who Rev. L. L. Hanscome
has succeeded.
Rev. McAdoo, who has been serving

ysis Of the hind quarters of the animal
and a loss Of appetite. Hogs take
readily to medicine in the first stages,
but finally become lethargic, their ears
crack and the flesh on the back of the
neck becomes swollen, bursts and final
ly drops off, Then follows extreme
suffering until death. Prescriptions
from the best authorities in the United
States have been applied without, effect
1t Is claimed that some farmers, upon
discovering that their hogs are dis

ease is carried to other herds. This
practice will be stopped In order to
prevent the disease overspreading the
