The nomination OF straight DEM
ocratic ticket in Whitman county was
a natural result. The Populists have
had a clear majority there, and think
they have still; SO they wanted all the
officers, and nominated ticket Of
their own. The Democrats followed
suit. Both will support the union
State ticket.

Matrimonial Facts.

Widowers are more inclined to mar
ry than bachelors. Widows are more
inclined to marry than spinsters.
Both facts are eloquent in favor of the
comparative advantages of matrimony.
For one bachelor that marries between
the ages of 80 and 81, seven widowers
remarry between these ages. These
are marriages out of equal numbers of
each class; the actual number Of bach
elors married will be greater only in
proportion as they exceed by seven to
one the actual number of widowers
living at these ages. Under the same
conditions, for every spinster married
between 80 and 65 two widows are re-
married. Inasmuch as the total num-
ber of spinstes far exceeds that of
widows and the figures given refer to
marriages out of equal numbers, this
disparity is not SO noticeable; its ex-
istence, however, is beyond dispute.
Similarly, out of an equal number of
widOwers and bachelors between 25
and GO years of age, 80 widowers re-
marry for every 13 bachelors who en-
ter the bonds of Hymen for the first
time.

Davis, President of the Southern Con-

the war, in the confederate executive
mansion at Richmond, Va, in 1868.
She received the name OF Daughter

father made his famous trip through
the South. Miss Davis was brought
before thousands along the route and

VARIOUS OPINIONS.
VERY POOR BAIT.

st. Paul Dispatch:
This Davis Democrat pretense is a
very DOOR bait with which to catch
Republican votes. Any man who
really intended to vote for Davis had
40 business to accept nomination on
a Democratic ticket. He cannot do 1t
without betraying his party, and a
man who would betray his party
would not hesitate to betray Davis.
THEIR THEORY PROVEN FALSE.
Fairmont News:
With our exports constantly in
creasiDg and our imports as Consistently
decreasing. it does not take very
profound statesman to see that the
United States is gaining wealth faster
than ever before. 1t matters but lit
tie whether this state of affairs is
brought about by the Dingley law or
not, the fact that 1t occurs under that
law cannot be disputed, and the
Democratic contention that it would
have the reverse effect is proven false.

The death of President Soaring, of
the Mankato Normal school, comes as
distinct shock to the people of this
community, where the best years of
his life had been spent in the ennob-
ling work of education. No educator
in the northwest stood higher in the
scale than did he, and none took a
deeper interest in the success of young
people who went out to do battle with
the world bearing with them diplo-
mas of the magnificent institution of
which he was the head and guiding
spirit for nearly twenty years. The
educational interests Of the whole
state will feel his loss, while the
faculty of the Mankato Normal, whose
tie of love and affection for their
President was closely woven into
their very lives, will mourn his loss
most keenlY. Mr.. Searing's life was
a noble one, and he leaves as price
less heritage to his two sons the
memory of one whose purity of life
and sincerity of purpose attracted to
him the love and respect of all who
knew him, and to the widow the bless
ipgs of faithful husband and true
companion.

The result of the war investigation

The result of the war investigation
is not panning out to suit the critics,
who hoped to bring the administra-
tion into disrepute and make little
cheap political capital. They recog.
nize the fact that something has got
to be done, so they are now claiming
that the investigation will be fail
ure, as it was not intended to 60 to
the bottom for the facts, and that a
coat of whitewash was the original
intention. But in this they have
run against stump. The testimony
is all given to the public cas-
taken, and there has as yet been no
attempt made at white washing.
The commission has given wide pub
licity in their invitation to parties
knowing anything as to mismanage-
ment in conduct of the war to come
before them and tell it. There is a
fine chance for the critics to state
their side of the case, but as yet they
have failed to do anything more than
to pout over the fact that President
Mckinley was prompt to get at the
full facts in the case, and indulge In
predictions that it will be and was
not intended for anything more than
a whitewashing affair

The Amboy Herald says that it is
unable to locate the lady whose name
was attached to letter sent the Free

treatment she rt ceived on our streets

Fields is an assumed name or not this
paper does not know, but it does know
that the letter published was dated
and mailed at Amboy with no other
name attached than that published

genuine. 1t is possible, however,
that the lady who received the in

e0 FARM AND DAIRY. O.
Have the Cows CaIve in the Fall.

10 his excellent address on the
above subject before the Dlirymen's
Association Of British Columbia, Mr..
H. f. Page enumerated the following
os some OF the advantages that result
from TALL calving cows:
l. Such COWS go into winter on an
increasing rather than decreasing
flow of milk.
2. The fall feed will produce good
deal more milk in a flush COW than
from a stripper.
8. At the end of, say, six months,
the fall calving COW strikes fresh pas
ture and thai expands her milk flow.
4. Careful experiments, and the
experience of well-posted dairymen,
show that COWS calving in the fall
average over Thousand pounds more
milk in year than If they are fresh
in the spring.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
states that ten of his best COWS, calv-
ing in April gave 43,O28 pounds Of
milk during the year, while ten other
cows, of not equal quality, calving in
the fall, gave 5O,47S pounds for the
same period.
5. The cost of the labor incident
to the care of COWS is less in winter
than In summer.
6, Fall dropped calves have to 10
months the start of the flies.
7. The increased value in cash of
the winter over the summer product,
amounting from 80 to so per cent.
8. The work of the farm is more
evenly distributed throughout the
year, enabling the farmer to hire his
help by the year. which is generally
the most profitable"
In conclusion, Mr.. Page adds:
II would say, study your business
by reading one or more of the best
papers bearing on the subject; con
slider the means used by those who
have been successful, and adopt them
as far as practical for you to do so. l
will again say, that comfort, with
regularity of attention, is essential to
success in dalrying, be 1T summer or
| winter"
Hoard's Dairyman would add one
more to the above important points
Of advantage:
A COW coming fresh in September
has continuous milking period be-
fore her of eight months without the
torment of flies. That's enough OF
itself to account for part of the in
crease of milk.
1t is a very easy matter, with
heifers, to breed them so as to drop
their first calves in the fall.
This will establish a tall breeding
habit in them. With COWS it is some
times more difficult. as the contrary
habit is established in them.
But we would advise by all means
that heifers be first bred in January.

TON.

The Minneapolis Journal, of Satur-
day evening, in speaking of Mr..
Eustis' campaign, says:
"Mr. Eustis has not lacked for
audiences wherever he has gone in
this campaign. Last evening he
spoke to the Republicans of Willmar.
The hall was packed, and hundreds
were unable to get in who wished to
hear him speak. In the course Of a
two hours discussion of state and
national issues, Mr.. Eustis declared
that il elected he would enter upon
the discharge of his executive duties
nembarrassed by single political
pledge or promise, and that the reten-
tion or appointment of men to public

of high qualification for the offices to

WHAT HE is.

The Saltwater Gazette, in COM
menting upon the position of John
Lind in political sense, says;
There is a marked difference be-
tween the political status of the
John Lind of 1898 and the same man
in 1896 and when that difference is
fairly and carefully considered we
hardly think Republicans will tumble
over themselves to vote. not only
against the principles he and they
profess ard have stood for, for so
many years. In 1896 John Lind was
the nominee of the silver Repubii-
cans, body of men, who, while be
lievipg in all the great principles OF
the Republican party and differing
only upon the question of the I'M
limited and free coinage OF silver,
deemed that issue paramount and
supported Mr.. Lind as the champion
and defender of that cause. These
free silver Republicans disclaimed
any afiliation with the other ele-
.ments OF the opposition to the Re-
publican party, and Indignantly re-
pudiated the idea that they were

that the chief apostle of the silver
forces in this state, Mr.. Towne.

largely with the protective tariff or

HE STRUCK LIVE WIRES.

he = RUIN LIVE "lnES.
John Lind went into this campaign
TO make it entirely upon state issues.
Two years ago he said that the only
issue before the rpeople was the free
coinage of silver. In everything else
he several times took pains to declare,
he was Republican, although he did
swallow the Chicago platform with
all it's heresies. At that time he de-
clined to discuss state issues further
than to give them mere passing re-
ference. But Mr.. Lind recognizes
this year that silver is practically
dead issue; that he did as we'll as he
could ever expect two years ago upon
it, and must try some new
scheme If he expects to make
any showing whatever this year.
So he opened his case on what
ne is pleased to call state is
sues. But the result is not proving
satisfactory. In the first place, as we
stated at the time of his Minneapolis
speech, it takes something more than
a string of unsupported assertions
and glittering generalities upon
which to found an issue. There being
no facts he had to make differences
and intimations and this led to per-
:sonalities. At the first Jump out Of
the box, he struck Ia live wire when
he attacked the state examiners
office. 1t was case where the gun
was loaded and he seemed to have
overlooked the TACT. Mr.. Kenyon i'm
mediately replied with few facts in
relation to Mr.. Lind's reports on loans
of New Ulm bank while he was one
of it's directors. He put Mr.. Lind
where he had to explain, and the
more he explains, the worse his posi-
tion becomes. In short his explana-
tions are of sort that do not explain
worth a cent. His attempt to show
that any evasion of the law that may
have been practiced in making loans
was not through or by his consent,
having mt st signally failed, the at
tempt is made to saddle the whole
thing upon Mr.. Kenyon. by saying
that i. there was anything wrong, he
did not do his duty as he should.
But this does not help Mr.. Lind's case
in the least. 1t does not show why
Mr.. Lind did not report to the ex-
aminer office that loans to the
milling company were in excess of the
legal limit when according to his own
admissions he knew it. Whether Mr..
Kenyon did or did not perform his
duty is not a factor at present.
Mr.. Lind struck another live wire
when he attacked the state game and
fish commission and charged that de-
putjes were sent to New Ulm, at the
time Of the state dairy association
meeting, to lobby and work for the
removal of some one from the 'dairy
and food department. MIR. S. f. Full
lerton, the State Game Warden,
states that neither himself, nor any
member Of the game and fish commits
sion were at New Ulm at the meeting
referred to, or for month before or
after said meeting, and that Mr..
Lind's reference to the game wardens
is Misrepresentation from beginning
to end. This is certainly explicit
enough.
And so one by one Mr.. Limbs I'm
supported assertions are tumbling to
the ground and his attempt to make
a campaign on state issues is giving
him that tired feeling that will result
in total collapse on Nov. Sth next.
