Not Approved OF.

In passing through one of the streets
in the village of Willmar a few days
ago, we noticed the American hay
suspended over the center of a thor
oughfare with a strip sewed on to the
outer edge with the name of Frank NJ.
Eddy imprinted. Is it not doubtful
as to this being a proper and legiti-
mate use of the escutcheon of the
United States? If one party is iusti-
fed in using this method of campaign
ing, SO are other parties, likewise IN
dependent candidates. When at some
future patriotic gathering under the
same flag the sight of such may bring
up reminiscence of a past contest,
which should not be entertained, espe-
cially at such time. This is not
more probable with a defeated candi-
date than with a defeated elector. We
do not believe the people approve OF
such ingenuity.

WHEAT THIEVES.
"A Strong Kick For the Grade
/: Manlpu1ators. -:

Fargo, N. D., Sept. .l3.-The large
wheat shippers of this state. are max
ing general complaint about Duluth
grades. There is general agreement
that the treatment by Duluth inspec-
tion department is not in line with
past seasons. Too much No. north
ern wheat is being graded No. north
ern, which sells at 4 and cents under
No. l northern.
Col. Oliver Morton of this city ex-
pressed general sentiment in an inter-
view here He says:
''You ask me about the Duluth
grades on wheat. I do not state it as
fact, for have not the testimony to
sustain the charge, but I believe that
either the inspectors at Duluth are as
dishonest as, or as incompetent as
the average imbecile in an asylum for
the feeble minded.
II have inmy Office today samples of
wheat, sent me from my correspond
ents in Duluth, that would have graded
at any time last year probably No.
hard-and have graded at any time
since l have been in business here, and
that covers period of eighteen years
No. northern without q doubt.
These fellows at Duluth these state
officials are grading our choice pro-
duct, much of it weighing over 60 lbs,
yellow and bright as an American
eagle, as No. ? northern. This grain
will never leave the water side of a
Duluth elevator except as No. l hard
or No. l northern wheat. I do not
know that the elevator people have
bought the state inspectors. do not
know that the elevator people would
make such a deal, but do know that
every North Dakota farmer With a
good grade of No. northern wheat is
robbed of from $50 to SIS on each and
every car that he ships. This splen-
did cereal of ours, as fine milling
wheat as I have seen in any season,
has not only been degraded, but the
scoundre1s have widened the margin
between No. and No. 2 northern to
sc bushel. Talk about highway rob-
berry, the fellow that holds you up at
the point of a revolver, is a gentleman
compared with the confidence man,
the state officials at the terminal, for
the latter gives you no sign of what
he is going to do until he gets your
property into his hands, when you are
absolutely helpless.''

G.. A., was attended by a fair-sized
audience in spite of the unfavorable
weather. Prof. Gravert's selections
on the violin were very much appre-

encores. He was ably assisted by
Mrs. F. G. Handy, who accompanied
him ON the piano. The Association
was somewhat disappointed in the
lack of support from home talent, and
as q consequence was unable to give
as varied q program as was promised.

selections and his efforts in that line

THE CRANES MEAL.
Tie Easily Catches and Kills the Spar

swallow Him.

Court square has a new denizen, and
now the peacocks and the squirrels
stop eveag now and then to look in
wonder at the spindle-legged crane
which stalks In solemn dignity to and
fro, says the Memphis Scimitar. This
crane, however, is not attracting
merely the attention of the other
dwellers Of the park, for every day or
two a large human audience watches
his performance. The crane catches
sparrows and It is the efforts he makes
to swallow his prey which cause spec
tators to gather by the score. The
crane stands quietly like q statue and
waits The sparrows Fly about fear
lessly. not even startled by the strange
bird. They have seen rags on stick
before and they are not afraid; oh, mol
Then one OF the sparrows lights very
near the crane. The rag becomes live
" and his bealS is shot out with light
ming quickness and the sparrow caught
right by the neck.
Then comes the fun. The sparrow is
little large TO swallow. The crane
kills him, thinking the small birds
lively capers must be the cause of the
difficulty. Death makes the task ne
easier. The sparrow still chokes the
crane. The crane tries the sparrow
head on. The small birds wings stick
out and prevent the sparrow from 60
ing down. The crane starts at the
feet; but the feathers on the prospec
tive dinner are rufiied the wrong way
and the second attempt fails. An idea
strikes his craneship. He walks to O
small tub Of water and soaks the spar
row so that the feathers cling closely
1t is still an impossible task TO swallow
the bird. The crane works and works
and finally, by pounding the sparrow
almost to pulp, at last makes a meal

sPANIsH-cuBAN FINANCES.
The Enormous Debt Incurred by the
spaninrds I'm Trying TO Sub
due the Cubnns.

The separate public debt Of Spain,
says a writer in the Review of Reviews,
now amounts to about 81 100000, 600.
This would appear not to include the
debt which the Spaniards have fas-
tened upon Cuba, and which must now
amount to at least S4OO 100000 and the
interest upon which Is paid out of the
revenues collected in Cuba. The vast
debt settled upon the impoverished
island represents nothing whatever ex-
cept the expenses incurred by the
Spaniards themselves I'm fighting the
Cubans. A great part of ofitnndoubted-
ly represents money stolen by Spain's
corrupt civil and military establish
ments. Now, IL Cuba should succeed
in winning her independence, il was
obvious that she would give herself no
concern whatever with any part of
Spain's Indebtedness, none of which
had ever been incurred by the authori-
ty of the Cuban people and none OF
which had ever been expended for their
benefit-while, on the contrary, n
great part OF IL had been expended IN
diabolical warfare against them.
Not only was there involved in the
question OF spain's continued soyer-
eighty in Cuba the S4O0,OOo,0OO of So
called Cuban indebtedness, but there
was further involved, undoubtedly, the
total bankruptcy of Spain. That is TO
say, the value OF the 81 SOC, 900 Of
indebtedness issued directly in the
name of the Madrid government, of
which something like thousand mil
lions was in the form Of the permanent
consolidated four per cent. debt, was
in dire peril. The prospect of war with
the United States to be followed by
Cuban freedom, has been causing the
steady decline Of the Spanish con-
soldated fours in the money market OF
Europe.

WAR LEVELS ALL RANKS.
a Little story About n Young Private
That Is Not Too Good
TO BE True.

Like love, war levels al ranks. I'm
like love, Il substitutes other ranks Of
its own making, says the Chicago Jour
nal. In n company of southern volun-
teers is a private who, by virtue both
of pedigree and pence, is, socially,
very well-lnown man in his part Of the
country. He would be recognized any
where as gentle bred. Having enlisted
merely as a private, however, his duties
are those of the common soldier, and,
while IL is nothing TO his credit that he
does these without hesitation. such
work is certainly novel TO him. His
regiment has not yet left for active
service, but as a home guard occupies
.he army post of its neighborhood.
The regiments colonel and the
coloners family of daughters are warm
personal friends of the private, yet
since the war they have never met
upon the old common level. The other
day the private was ordered to do
police duty around the colonel's
grounds, which, being interpreted.
meant that he was to pick up all the
rubbish he might find there. What was
the horror of the colonel's wife few
minutes lster, therefore, TO see this
highly eligible young man down on his
hands and knees before her house pick
Ing up stray banana peels and vagrant
bits of paperl
"Of course il couldn't be helped" she
said, in recounting the incident later.
"Still. did what ! could to spare his
feelings. l called to the girls to run

to dare TO go near a window for fear
they'd catch sight of young Blank po-

SHIPS RANGE IN ACTION.
The Hinge Dcstroyers Rarely Seek an
Engagement at Less Than
two Miles.

"The pictures in some Of the burnt
orange newspapers of battleships in
action are about as funny as the Jap
anese idea of perspective" said a naval
officer to a Washington Star reporter.
"These pictures represent the oppos-
ing ships blazing away at each other
with 13-inch rifles at a range of about
100 feet, and the artists certainly work
up the thing to make il look terrible
enough, in all conscience. It's n won
der to me they don't represent the
crews of the opposing ships in the act
Of using graphing irons, as they did
in engagements at close quarters in
the days Of the old 7o-gun frigates.
"As matter of fact, if either battle
ship in an engagement between vessels
of to-day goes within such a range of
another, or anything like it. it would
simply be a matter of the first shot.
One big shell delivered at such range
would leave only debris of the struck
ship floating on the surface of the
water.
"Modern ships of war are notdevised
to get within any such range Of each
other in action. The nearest that any
of the opposing ships in the great ma
val battle on the Yalu got to each other
was a trife under two miles, and what
one battleship can do to another al
that range is something beyond calcu
/ Iation"

for which have never been able TO OBJ
tain a satisfactory explanation. The
old negresses who sit around the mar
ket place and the shady street corners
selling dulces from large baskets are
habitually smoking long black cigars,
and they put the lighted ends in their
mouths. Why they DO so and how they
can endure it are mysteries that could
not be solved, but it is nevertheless a
fact and a custom that is unique in

AIDS WOMEN TO SWIM.
New Invention Is a Pneumatic Cor
set which Prevents It's Wear
er from sinking.

Timid women can now be taught
swimming in a very easy manner. An
eastern professor has invented pseu-
matte corset for beginners to wear,
which, he says, greatly facilitates the
untutored in acquiring the different
strokes. This corset is cut on the same
general lines as all corsets and made
double, so that the air space between
the two thiclSnesses may be blown up
and serve not only to present a neat
appearance to the figure but also to
buoy it up and give confidence to the
tmd. A lack of confidence is respon-
hible for the slowness with which this
accomplishness is learned by women,
and this corset should prove boon to
women who delight in aquatic sports
but have no hardihood for them. The
very knowledge that they cannot sink
leaves their brain clear enough to
think of the proper strokes for hands
and feet, and as soon as they find they
can move through the water from one
place to another and become accus-
toned to these movements the corset
may be discarded. 1t is much more
shapely than the big rubber rings and
cork life preservers, and, in fact, does
not show at all, as IL conforms to the
shape of the wearer. The corset has
been seen on several women bathers
at the eastern resorts this season, and
it bids fair to become very popular.
