Mr.. Edwin r. Trip, the postmaster at
4iddlefeld Center, n. Y, recently had o
dangerous experience which left him in o
helpless state. His system was SO much
shattered that It was feared he might never
recover.
In an interview with . reporter Of the
Republican, regarding this experience which
bad attracted considerable attention, Mr..
Trip stated:
GIN March, 1892, I was taken with what
afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and
vas unable to walk, and / kept getting
worse lntiI-II lost the use Of my arms. I
doctored with two skillful doctors but re-
seived no benefit, and also used q galvanic
battery but kept getting worse and the doc
tors told me they could do no more. This
was in May and June, 1892. I gave up all
hope Of ever having the use Of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long.

Pillsbury uses SO,OOO,OOO bushels of wheat il
his mills annually.


An English syndicate some years ago pur-
chased the Minneapolis mills and the Min
neapolis and Northern elevators along the
Great Northern railway two or three hundred
In number. Pillsbury was party in inter
est in the syndicate and has since had prln-
cipal charge of it's affairs. The elevators
and mills are in fact owned by the same
syndicate The elevator company purchases
the wheat at the country elevators. It Is
shipped to Minneapolis and purchased by
the mills on the grade and dockage fixed by
the state grain inspector. The elevator
branch Of the syndicate at Minneapolis re-
ports to the country elevators that they are
grading the wheat too high and are not get
ting enough dockage. The country agents
lower the grade and increase the dockage.
They then buy the same grade of wheat at
No. northern they had previously bought
at No. l northern, and increase the dockage.
When this wheat reaches Minneapolis and Is
taken in by the mills at No. northern and
there Is a difference in price between No.
northern and No. northern of cents per
bushel, amounting to 10 per cent of its value
do not the mills get the benefit of this
difference In grade? 1t not, who does? The
farmer loses it; who gets it?
GRADING LAW VICIOUS
In our judgment the Minnesota state grad
ing law is vicious in all its aspects, and
we will get no permanent relief until it Is
reCealed and left to manage our own
affairs in our own way. We ask it's repeal
for the following, among other reasons:
First. 1t gives to one man autocratic
power to say how much we shall receive for
our property.
Second. 1t degrades and humiliates us by
placing us in the position of wards of an
unscrupulous ring.
Third. 1t makes millionaires at the termin-
al points at the expense of the producers.
Fourth. 1t depreciates the value Of our
real estate.
Fifth. 1t crushes the poor man who is
laboring to make a home for himself and
family.
Sixth. 1t legalizes robbery.
For these and other reasons we ask the
repeal of the Minnesota state inspection law,
and that we be allowed to live in peace in
this garden spot of America, under our own

first shipments of their wheat was
graded No l northern, which, while
not in all cases as high as was thought
the quality of the wheat merited, was
accepted without protest. Within a
short time the grading at the terminal
points was lowered, and more than
Une-half of the shipments were return
ed as No. northern, with an average
Of three pounds per bushel dockage.
The farmers became very indignant
and freely charged that they were be-
ing robbed. They demanded a remedy,
and in the true American way those in
the vicinity Of Moorhead and Fargo
called for a public meeting to discuss
the subject and recommend action look
ing to a remedy. This meeting was
promoted by George N. Lamphere, OF
Moorhead, and freely advertised in his
newspaper, the News, and was held at
Mocrhead on Sept. "a last. 1t was at

longing to all parties, and was strictly

TWO REGIMENTS AVAILABLE.
Gen. Bacon Can Have All the Troops
He Wants at Walker.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-Oficials Of
both the war department and the in
terror department are inclined to the
belief that the seriousness of the In
dian uprising in Minnesota has been
exaggerated. They are not disposed.
however, to take anything for granted.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin telegraphed Gen.
Bacon tonight that he could have ell
the troops he might deem necessary to
quell the demonstration Of the hos
tiles. The Fourth infantry, now at
Fort Sheridan, Illinois, and the Sew
enteenth infantry, now at Columbus
barracks, have been placed at Gen.
Bacon's disposal. Both regiments are
prepared to move to the scene of the
uprising at a few hours notice.
Indian Commissioner Jones has gone
in person to Minnesota to investigate
the subject of the uprising. He was
expected to arrive there today, and the
Indian bureau is looking for inforuna-
ton from him tomorrow.

From the present indications it will

People here are alarmed over the In

encamped four miles east of Kimberly,
and that they had threatened the life
of some settlers In that neighborhood.

of one or two years was as good quality OF
wheat as was ever raised in this valley. 1t
was the universal express on of farmers at
the commencement of harvest that while in
some localities the stand was light the anal
lty was all good.
Had there been q frost within one or two
hundred miles of US, past experience would
have warned us that inspection would show
that our wheat was frosted. But there WAS
no frost Suddenly and without warning the
grade dropped to No. 2 northern and re-
Jected, and for time nearly all our wheat
shipped graded No. northern and below
and we were informed that there was a
cookie In our wheat. We had never before
heard that cookie affected the grade 1t was
impossible to grade the wheat down for anv
reason heretofore known, and so this uues-
tion of cookie affecting the grade was for
the first time raised as the only possible ex-
cuse.
The local elevators had taken in some
wheat and found when it reached the termi
mai point that it was not as they supposed a
high grade of wheat, but a low grade and
they were instructed to lower the grade and
increase the dockage. The farmers were in

OF wheat improved both at Minneapolis and
Duluth, and the local elevator agents were
instructed to give better grades of wheat
and take less dockage, but at the same time
the difference between No. 1 northern and
No. 1 hard was widened. These gentlemen
are playing with loaded dice, and the Min
