er here, do not know what the cir
culation of the Morris Sun is. but if
this sheet takes on itself to shield
and vindicate men who do not scruple
to take any advantage they can of
your farming community, then [ do
not wonder that it is so hard to find a
copy of it in Morris.
[ do not wish for any war through
newspapers, or any newspaper noto-
riety, but as this sheet has on other
occasions published sketches of the
wheat market which I believe was
meant for me, and certainly reflected
on my business here, wish it I'M
derstood that in the future any state
ment made by this sheet, Or any other
sheet, which | know from my expert
ence in the grain to be false and
made for the purpose of protecting
men who are coming money at the
expense of people who have to work
fourteen hours daily to make both
ends meet, l will certainly do what l
can to place the case just as it is be-
fore parties interested.

A Communication.

am informed that some time ago
an article appeared in the Morris Sun
purporting to be an answer to an arti-
Gle that appeared in the st. Paul
Globe on March 4th, in which the
Morris wheat ring was exposed. AS
my name appears in the article of the
Globe I feared the editor of the Sun
might think I was ignoring him en-
tirely by making no reply, but that
is not the case, The fact is | could
not find copy of the Sun in Morris
and did not like to send to some other
paper for the copy they got in ex-
change, SO have let the matter rest
for time in hopes l might find one
and learn the contents of his article,
but cannot find any and will reply
the best I can. | understand that he
claims that the Globe was mistaken
about the figures they gave in most
every case where they gave figures.
Possibly they were. But I can as
sure the Sun, or any one else who is
interested, that all the mistakes that
were made were in favor of this ring.
And should any one need any further
proof all they need to do is to inquire
of some of the poor unfortunate vic
Tins of this ring. We would respect
fully refer the Sun to Mr.. James Nc
Carroll, or any other man who is
mentioned in the Globe article, before
he commences such sweeping vindi-
cation of those wheat sharks. | do
not believe it is necessary for me to
give any figures of the losses sustain
ed by farmers in this vicinity any
farther than to say that have made
fair wages on what wheat and oats /
have bought here, and as it was SO
noticeable the improvement there was
in the market after I commenced to
buy that I need not mention it as it is
we'll known to interested parties.
Now, as [ am comparatively strang

THE OPERA SINGER.
her handkerc

Here is the history OF young opera singer
Five or six years ago she singing in an
obscure choir in an obscure New England church.
Nature had endowed her with strong physique.
n heavy voice rich in OF its notes. but not
especIay sweet and the energy which alone
makes success possible TO the moderately gifted.
She decided to Come abroad and study. The
scheme seemed a crazy one for young girl so
moor and alone; but. with sublime faith In her
own power TO bend circumstances TO her will she
made her plans.
Detcrminat on oyercomes many obstacles. She
sailed from America with very light purse com
ing direct TO Germany. She didn't understand a
word of the language. and one OF the first things
che did was TO engage a teacher and also Ger
man excharge'-that Is, some one to speak Ger
man to her in exchange for English conversat on.
Then began years OF harI work. emb.ttered at
times by poverty OF the most abject kind. Often
her best gown would be out at elbows. the shoes
upon her feet merely rags. D.scouragement must
have often overshadowed her. but she kept stead
fastly to her purpose and that TO make the
most OF her voice
"Often while we lying in bed asleep l..
would be up studying German, preparing her
lessons Yes. before daylight many a morning
she'd have a candle burning. while she mastered
some German poem song" sad a glrl-friend
who knew her Intimately.
Opera had not seemed within the possibilities
when she first came over. She had only hoped 10
make an oratorio and concert singer. but rs her
voice developed and gained in power and richness
she was encouraged to go the stage.
1T Is the place for you" said her teacher you
would be very silly not to do So"
II was this same teacher who has. by the way.
