The Democrats who attended the
congressional convention claim that
arrangements were made for several
campaign speeches in Little Falls on
the free silver side. Thut side of the
question is not very well equipped
with ora tors in Minnesota. Very few
of the old Republican campaigners
have adopted the free silver side, and a
great many OF the ablest Democratic
speakers have left the regular Demo-
cratic organization on account Of
the decla rations of the Chicago plat
form. The Populist leaders and
speakers are generally in line with
their party, but when they take the
platform they are more apt to drive
Democrats to the Republican party,
than they are to attract either Re-
puSlicans or Democrats to the Demo-
pop ticket. The Republican party
will make q great deal better cam
paign on the stump this year than
the opposition will.

The Game Warden Made Out
avery Poor Case Against
Him.

The trial OF F. Graham, charged
by Game Warden .Trebby with kill
ing two pigeons in the town of Pike
Creek, was completed Saturday
aftern Don before Justice Gaudet and
Jury and resulted in the defendants
acquittal after the jury had been out
less than five minutes.
Judging from the evidence pro-
duced by the state it must have been
somew hat of u case of bluff with the
warden, for there was but q very
poor case made out against Graham.
The main witness, who claimed to
have seen the birds shot. was Con-
stable Widman, Of the town OF Pike
Creek, and he testified that he had
not seen a pigeon in that vicinity for
four years. He thought he saw
Graham shoot some kind OF birds,
and the man that was with him 20
and get them. IL.
The defendant did not testify. and
the jury acquitted MIN on the EVIL
dence of the states witnesses.
The case should never have been
prosecuted, and as it resulted ent ails
a large expense on the county.
County Attorney Rhodes had no
option in the matter. however, and
was compelled to prosecute, as the
game law says that when the ward
en- has case to prosecute he shall
call On the county attorney, and it
is his duty to do SO.
This case may result in suit for
damages. as Mr.. Graham is of the
opinion that it was nothing more
than an attempt to bulldoze him in
to paying a fine, that the game
warden's purse might he fattened
thereby.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The de-
1892. Prices advanced and the lum-
Der trade never before enjoyed such
a prosperous year az it did lheE. A
good many saw mills were enlarged
and their capacity increased and
new ones built. Then came the
panic of 1898, with it's attendant dc.
crease in the consumption of lumber.
The Increase IN the capacity was I'M
fortunate, but the capital invested
in the saw mill plants all over the
northwest could not lie idle, and Il
surplus Of lumber accumulated at
mill points. owing to the two causes
increase in capacity and decrease
in the consumption OF lumber. TO
aggravate the matter, in 1894, MIL
lions Of feet of pine timber was
burned over ny the great forest fires
that ragged through eastern Mime
sofa and western aud northern Wis.
consin. White pine operators were
ready and willing to curtail the out
put Of their mills, but they were
forced to cut burned over timber in
.the winter of 1S94-95, Gnd rush their
mills to their full capacity in many
instances, to save the burned over
timber, and convert 1t into lumber,
in the saving season Of 1896. Per-
haps that lumber could not he sold.
but it was bet ter in pile than in trees
subject to damage by timber worms.
The surplus of stock on hand today,
is due In great measure to the
forest fires OF two years ago. H:d
it not been for them, it would have
been much easier for many Of the
mills to have curtniled their output
ana kept it prOpOrti0nnte to the de-
creased demand for lumber.

 Usually young minds are eager for thoughts and entertainment, [, and seldom do the boys fail to read them when entertaining books are to be found If, however, the de sire for reading has not been formed it should be the constant effort of parents and teachers 10 develop such tact, for that boy will ineyita- biy be an intellectual wreck, a mar row and bigoted egotist, who does not acquire the habit of reading and ap- propriate the thoughts of others.

Deafness cannot bo Cnred

When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrah. which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
