The Redfeld Press tells of a
populist farmer living near that
city who, while knowing and ad-
mitting that an artesian well is
just what he needs on his farm,
will not put one down as he was
afraid that the purchasing power
of dollar would increase so that
when he came to pay the money

Prosperous Conditions.

Chicago Inter Ocean: That,
said St. Vincent of Levins, (which
is believed everywhere, believed
always and believed by ali is
fixity." By the same token pros
perity is fxity. There are now
better prices for all farm pro-
ducts, better prices for most man
ufactured goods, and a greater
demand for labor than the coun-
try has seen for several years,
and all the signs are Indicative
Of further betterment. But there
is no ''boom wave" He who
buys speculatively buys foolishly;
there is an upward but not a kit
ing movement in trade; it is well
that there is not.
Many causes are working to-
gether for good. The influx OF
gold from Alaska has set loose
large volumes that long had been
| idle in the United States; railway
companies and steamship COM
panles have spent large sums in
preparation for the increased
northward travel; food, clothing,
and implements for use by indi-
vidual or incorporated miners are
in demand. The quickening IN
huence of Alaska easily is dis
cernible in the current of trade.
The Righteousness of wheat in
the United States and the short
ness of grain in Europe have
worked in unison for the benefit
of the farmer. Western mortga-
ges have been liquidated or are in
| process of liquidation; new ma
chinery, new houses, new furni-
ture, and new clothing are in
demand on many farms where
rigid economy has been the rule
for years, and, lastly, we'll
devised tariff law has made it
certain that large part of the
money derived from the sale of
certait1 classes of American pro-
ducts will be spent in the purchase
of other classes Of American pro-
]ducts.
The effects of the tariff will
not be felt fully until the large
stocks of goods imported during
the period of anticipation of new
duties are disposed of, for not till
then can our manufacturers enter
into fair competition for suprem-
acy in the home market. But in
the meantime trade is improving,
and Chicago is getting a share
i of the improvement. Business is
not yet as brisk as it was in 1892,
but it is brisker than in 1898, '94,
| 'S5, or so.

President Mckinley is considering
the best method of placing before the
charitable citizens of the United
States an appeal for food to relieve
restitution in Cuba. According to
the Washington correspondent of the
World, the Spanish Minister has
informally conveyed the information
10 this Government that any contri-
buttons which may be made will he
welcomed. In view of this it is ex-
pected that within a few DAYS Consul
General Lee will be authorized to
take charge of such supplies as NAV
be donated by citizens of the United
States.

efal relief movement will be Started

steps will be t len to have the SIM
plies admitted without the pavment

Life, and try them or some one for
manslaughter, 1t must be confessed
that 1t would be a radical test of the
lawfulness of the game, the legality
OF which has been seriously oues
toned. Men have no right, even by
agreement, to put one anOther's lives
IN peril by mutual encounter. There
is seriousness in the suggestion of
Life, for he is responsible for who
causes the death Of another where
obligation rests upon him to do the
other no in ury.-Sacramento Union.
If the regulations of the game en-
braced pure football as played origin
ally and prohibited the players pick
ing 1t up with their hands, the game
would be fully as lively as now and

GOLD TACTICS.

Whenever TIE gold Democrats get
into a convention thew invariably
shut OFT all debate on the silver uues-
ton and resort to open force and
brutal buldoseing to carry their
points. In an aldermanic convention
in Boston when the debate was held
the chairman refused the floor to all
silver men.
When the votes were taken to the
platform the twelve tellers en1aged
in a wOrdy row and soon the table
wa" upse', the ballots torn to pieces
and a pitcher Of ice-water hurled at
the reporters table.
Then fists played a part in the row
II there was a general mix-up. with
numerous solar pleXus blows. The
Chairman rushed across the hall for
police protection and a squad Of
patrO1men rushed IN with drawn
clubs and proceeded to Law out the
belligerents.
With order restored, several ward
delegations quit the hall in a body,
and scores of men rushed out for
medical treatment for blackened ewes
and bruises.
At midnight another ballot was
taken, and it was 2 o'clock before the
vote was taken, only to be declared
illegal.
Ali this turmoil arose from the fact
that the silver men in the convention
wished a fair, open discussion of the
question of blnetallisn and the gold
men didn't want it discussed. How
long will men cling to a cause which
Will not stand open and fair debate?

THE HIGH WATER COMING.

jim River and Firesteel Creek are Both
Getting over Their Banks.
(From Thursday daily.)
So far, since the spring thaw began,
the jim river and Firesteel have not
been very tempestuous, but within the
last day or two both streams have been
continually rising and commence to
show signs OF accomplishing some dam
age to bridges this being the condition
of the river north and northeast OF
town. although directly east OF the city
the river is not quite 80 high. A. b.
Bayley drove in from Plano, northeast
of town, today and stated that the
bridge near the Gaetze farm was in
great danger of being carried away by
the large volume OF ice which is banked
up against one end of the structure.
Several men we're at work endeavoring
to cut away the ice. At this point the
river has got away over its banks and
is inundating considerable of the coun'
try around. The approach to this
bridge is about foot under water. MIR

A Gasoline Incident.

When ladies attempt to use gasoline
in cleaning wearing apparel or gloves
they should remember its explosive
qualities. A young lady over at Huron
the other day had fearful experience
with the fluid which cost her her life.
The incident of the fire is related by
the Huronite: Investigation as to the
origin of the fire develops the fact that
Miss Wills was cleaning kid gloves
with gasoline, which became ignited,
setting fire 10 the fluid in wash bowl
and also her clothing, which had be-
come saturated with the gas, as had al
so articles in the room. An attempt
was doubtless made to light lamp for
the purpose of drying the gloves, as
half burned match was found in the sink
where she stood and where the bowl of
gasoline had been used. The door had
been kept locked because of tramps.
The appearance OF the room indicates
that the unfortunate girl attempted to
reach the outside door, and failing to
do so, started for the dining room door,
falling near the stove unconscious and
where the remains were found horri-
bly, burned and dis6gured, the clothing
being nearly gone and the burned
gloves partially clinging to her hands
and wrists. Miss Wills had fully re-
covered from her mental trouble and
had been unusually cheerful during the
day. That her death was the result of
the gasoline, as stated, there is not the
least doubt.

take circuitous route to get to Mitch
ell as the regular road in many places
is under water. The Firesteel a little
way north of town has risen so high
that it is said to be two feet over the
bridge. Taking into consideration the
fact that but very little water has come
down from the north part of the state
and it will be readily seen that the
worst is yet held in abeyance by the
cold weather during the early part of
the week. The Milwaukee and Omaha
bridges across the Jim river are still
safe but how long they will stay in
after the flood comes is difficult mat
ter to determine.

NOBODY SEEMS SATISFIED.

The New Liquor Law Seems to be a Tar
get for More or Less Criticism.
The liquor law which is now in effect
seems to catch criticisms from all
sides. The prohibit.onists claim it is
not strong enough and the liquor men
think it is entirely too strong. 1t is
rumored around town that some OF the
license people will endeavor to defeat
the issue and put local option into
effect, which would mean an easy thing
for blind pigs. The following from the
Aberdeen News shows how the new
law is taken in that part Of the state

THE COMING SPRING ELECTION
Five Aldermen and Five School Directors
are to be Elected This Time.

Five Aldermen and Five School Directors
are to be Elected This Time.
This ia an off year in the city cleo
tion, inasmuch as the mayor was elected
last year. But there is considerable
Importance attached to the election
this year, from the fact that the matter
of granting saloon licenses will be voted
upon. The retiring aldermen are J.
of the Second ward, A. G. Pollard and
Mason Booth of the Third ward and
DR.. E. B. Bracy of the Fourth ward.
This will make five aldermen to be
elected. Mr.. Booth removed from the
city shortly after election year ago
and the Third ward has had but one
representative on the board during
that time, consequently two men will
be elected from that precinct at the
coming election.
| There are also five members who re-
tire from the school board and are as
follows: E. B. Van Alstine of the First
ward, Jerome Wiltse of the Second
ward, Thos. Wallace of the Third
ward and W. b. Helwig and b. Nc
Cormick of the Fourth ward. Although
Mr.. Mccormick was elected year ago
he resign ned from the board to accept q
position in the high school as an in
structor, which act caused q vacancy
on the school board. This vacancy
was not filled and when Mr.. McCor-
mick resigned his position in the
schools he was appointed to fill tbs va
cancy on the school board, which ne
cessitates the election of five members
on the board OF education.
A school treasurer will also be elect
ed, N. L. Davison's term expiring.

Nowadays when women are trying to
do everything it is not strange that
many things are over-done. 1t is not
strange that there are all kinds of
physical and mental disturbances. If
the woman who is doctor or a lawyer,
or journalist, or in business would
not try to be a society woman too it
might be different; but the woman who
knows when she has done days work
has yet to be born. Usually woman's
way is to keep doing until she drops.
Working in this way has manifold
evils. The most common trouble re-
sulting from overexertion, either men.
tally or physically, is constipation OF
the bowels, with all its attend ant hor.

THE WATER GETTING HIGHER.

High Water in the Jim Reaches the
Stringers of the Railroad Bridges.
From Tuesdays Daily
There is an uneasy feeling growing
about the bridges now that the Jim
river has comm q need to assume larger
propor,io"s. The Milwaukee and
Omsh. people both feel confident that
Au railroad bridges will both hold out
against the turbulent stream, and
while there is come danger from the
overflow they are taking every precau.
tion to keep the bridges in position.
At noon the water had reached the
stringers of the two railroad bridges,
but will have to rise several feet higher
before it reaches the track.
A telegram was received by Post
master Greene from Director Glenn o.
Huron saying that the Jim river a.
that place was rising rapidly and tha
the water was two feet deep over the
bottom lands. The ice, however, hac
not commenced to move as yet. 1t wal
learned that the river at Huron hat
risen five feet last night, which POI
tends higher water down this way.
