MILLIONS IN IT.
Rise In Wheat Means
Much For Farmers.
Vast Sums Will Be Paid For
Their Grain Crop.
Labor Will Be Benefited by the
Advance in Prices.

Washington, Aug 27.-Assistant SEQ
rotary Bingham, of tho agricultural de-
partment, today expressed the opinion
that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from
four to hve:hundred million dollars in ex-
cess of that received last year, for their
wheat.
"This." he said, means much to the
farmers. They have learned in the sea-
son of hard times through which they
have passed to economize where they
could and TO be careful in buying. They
will use this money received for their
crops TO pay off their debts cancel mort
cages and in making improvements on
the farm and the farm buildings This
seems like vast sum, but statistics sus-
tain the claim.
Colonel Brigham also predicted that the
increase i'm the price of farm products
would benefit the lahoring element
"The price nf labor" he said, did not
decline with the price of farm products
and for some time the farmer was forced
10 pay as much for the services of those
who did this work as ever, whilst his re-
caipts were cut in two lDasmuoh as
wages did not decline. L SEQ no reason
why they should be expected 10 rise to
correspond with tho advance of farm
products which are now bringing only
fair prices. Still the laboring man will
be benefited by tns advance in prices. The
farmer will discharge his Indebtedness
and make improvements which will re-
quire labor He will purchase moro of
the products Of labor, putting q vast
amount OF money in circulation. and will
create demand for labor in all lines and
men who have been without employment,
or only partially employed, will work
full time at better wages.

LEAVE OLD PARTY.
Silver Democrats Will Be Obliged
TO Join POpulists.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug 27.-Thomas e.
Watson. late Popuist candidate for vice
president, asserted in an interview yester-
day that by the time the fall campaigns
begin TO open there will not be silver
Democrat in the country. They will be
compelled To enter the Populist ranks, he
says. and leave the old party TO the gold
men. lie issues very urgent invitation
To all silverites to take shelter under tho
broad arms of Populism, and says the
struggle between the two metals will be
short, sharp and decisive for the white
metal.
He predicts that so desperate will be
tho contest that families will DO broken
up ana friends separated.
He ridicules the assertion that the ad-
vance in wheat and cotton Is to DO
credited TO Republican agencies.

ARMENIA.

J. /. Warner lost his house and all its
contents by fire on Tuesday Of last week
Mr.. and Mrs. Warner had gone to Ne
kOosa and left their son, Guy, at home
and while he was preparing his dinner
the building caught fire in the roof and
when discovered the roof was fallingin,
the building being very dry and a strong
wind blowing it was soon all in flames.
There being no insurance on building
or contents it is sad misfortune.
The school in the Lynn district closed
on Friday last.
1T the last meeting of the I. 0. G. T.
held in April, officers for the ensuing
quarter were elected. We believe they
made wise selection in the person of
J. i. Warner as chief executive.
A pound party for the benefit of Mr..
and Mrs. J. L. Warner was given on
Monday evening. The receipts of the
evening, including the amount raised
by Rev. S. l.. Brooks at NekOosa and
Grand Rapids during the dav, were
S45.43. For this charitable act Mr.. and
Mrs. Warner extend sincere thanks to
the kind friends and neighbors who
rendered aid in time Of misfortune.

Business Ten rleet.

Every available seat IN the rooms Of
the business men association was taken
last Friday evening, the occasion Of the
first regular meeting Of the new organi-
cation. A productive, important
session resulted and the business men
of Grand Rapids and Centralia are
again firmly linked on mutual basis
for concerted action upon matters to
their interest.
The committee on constitution and
/ bylaws submitted its report, and the
report with a few amendments was
accepted and adopted. Membership
roll was opened for the reception of
new names and the list went up to 100
signatures. Then the annual dues were
fixed at $3.50 according to an under
standing at a previous meeting. Since
then a few more persons have joined );
total enrolment now 1875.
A board of directors was elected to
consist of the officers of the association,
who are eX-officio members, and two
others chosen by the order. The Board
for the ensuing year is L. NJ. Nash, C.
F. kellogg, A. NJ. Muir, E. ?. Arpin,
G. T. Witter, Will Scott
Standing committees were named by
President L. NJ. Nash as follows:
Public Improvemelts--F J. Wood, J.
D. Witer, Geo. L. Williams.
Railroad and Transportation-E. OBJ
erbeck, D. J. ArpiD, Chas. Briere
Manufacturing Industries Roenius
John Schnabel, John DAILY.
Upon report of committee the furni-
ture of the defunct business association
was bought back. Meetings will contin-
ne to be held in the DAILY block,
Centralia, and on every third Friday
evening each month.
A modest petition asking for better
depot in Centralia, and Supt. Collins
answer to same, were read by the
secretary. After short discussion it
was found to be the unanimous feeling
that Mr.. Collins reply was too short
and indefinite, hence the secretary was
instructed to write again for more
accurate and positive assurance as to
what might be hoped for.
While discussing the report of COM
mittee on cooperative electric lighting,
Mr.. John Schnabel offered remarks that
seemed to sound keynote of enthusi-
astic response from everyone present. |
His suggestion favored, first of all, the
consolidation Of our two cities under
one charter. The earnest and loud
applause after his talk evidenced that
every business man in the room favored
and would give his undoubted consent
to such proposition. J. D. Witter and
T. J. Wood spoke for consolidation and
vigorous applause greeted their words. /
Unanimous sentiment drifted the sess-
ion into sort of consolidation meeting, /
and the matter ended by appointment
of com 1ittee including F. J. Wood, I
J. D. Witter, John Schnabel Geo. L. /
Williams, and B. r. Goggins to wait !.
upon the common councils Of our two /
cities and place the matter before them. /
Accordingly Messrs. Goggins and Selma
bel appeared before the Centralia /
council Monday evening. They sub
mitted the plans Of their errand and

when they had finished, alderman F.
II. Jackson moved to suspend indef-
nitely the entire subject. The motion
prevailed. And there consolidation
rests prematurely covered by a wet
blanket. Consolidation is vital and
mportant question which should receive
the fair and unprecedented consideration
of all citizens of the twin cities. We
hope it will receive it.
Next meeting of business men Friday
