lose their luster and beauty. No mat
ter how cold 1t is this change takes
place, as the days get longer with nu-
merous thaws this condition increases.
In this latitude they begin to scratch
and losen the fur and get thin in places
especially on sides and shoulders, In
March, this makes them No. 2; little
later No. and 4. Unfortunately it Is
season-late winter and early spring
so that most of the furs are caught when
they are not at their very best. Bears
and winter animals are an exception to
the others, they are best in early spring.
Our shippers can rest assured we allow
all we can and from this on advise ship
ping often and nearby shippers can send
them in green, place straw or paper in
between, this will keep them from heat
ing BY sending in often you can tell
by the returns when 1t would be wise to
quit trapping unless you are well ex-
perienced Skunks are now shedding fast
and should not be caught from this on,
let them increase and commence catch
ing them next November. We buy furs
at all times, but they shuld not be kept
by any one until summer except in cold
storage; but when clean and dry, gum

right to demand representation ON all
the state institutions which they con-
tribute to support. This is all that they
have done. We did not make this de-
mand as Populists. Democrats, Repub-
licans, Prohibitionists, ETC.. but as
FARMERS.
Another error. Mr.. Long says that the
State Alliance never joined the National
F. A. and 1 U. At the state convention
held in January, 1897, the State ALI
ance by formal resolution Joined the
National F. A. and 1. U. of America.
But owing to the distress among the
farmers the dues to the state and local
organizations were practically suspend
ed Owing to the same condition we were
not able to pay our per capita tax to
the national organization, but We were
entitled to send our delegate to repre-
sent us at the national convention and
receive full and complete recognition
Except as to receiving our delegate per
diem and mileage). In this case our
esteemed national delegate, Hon. P. II.
Rahily, was elected national vice presi-
dent l will say that when the State
Alliance did join the National F. A. and
l. U. in 1897, Mr.. Long was not present,
although he was elected president at
the same meeting. 1t can thus be seen
how such an error could be made by
him uncOnsciOusly
In reference to publishing Mr.. Longs
resignation, l had no idea that he was so
determined to act thus hastily, as we
had several letters passing between US,
and my impression was that he would
not take any such radical action.
l regret exceedingly that Mr.. Long
should take this course, and hope that
when he will have a chance to think
this matter over he can be induced to
withdraw his resignation, and be found
in the future as in the past fighting with
the producers to demand and secure
their rights. J. c. Hanley.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Receipts of whea t
at primary markets are $4,000 bushels
. against $4,000 last week and $4,000 last
year Car lots at Chicago, Minneapolis and
Duluth are today 1S2 against $50 last week
and AL .00O0 last year.
> Chicago out of the total contributes 800
cars. 1t is fairly evident that Northwest
ern receipts decreasing and it is but
natural that we look for further decrease
from the Northwest in the next 80 days
anyway and for the quality to be poorer.
That country has taken advantage of the
high prices bid for cash contract wheat to
market their best first.
Clearaaces are small today, 15i,567 BUSH
els.
The visible supply decreased 99S,oGO BUSH
els little more than expected, but
that is accounted for by the Letter rail ship
mentS from here. AS compared with last
year our visible supply shows nine million
bushels less. The worlds shipments aggre-
gate 7GSs.0O0 bushels, according to Broom
hill. and amount on passage SHOWS a de-
crease of $4,000 bushels.
Broomhil cables US that Italy has bought
13S, 900 bushels of Oregon wheat.
Germany and Spain have been large buy
ers of breadstuffs and provisions the past
week
There was $4,000 bushels Of contract

wheat and that had a strong influence but
the crowd were as well influenced by the
predictions of freezing weather extending
< south far as Kansas. The pit and the
local spectators bearish perhaps too
much SO, a specially on soft spots.
The Letter crowd seem to be doing the
', buying now on-weak spots. In May wheat
there has been comparatively little done to-
day 1t is said that a considerable line of
May wheat settled between Letter and
very prominent elevator house Saturday.
and there are good reasons for believing 1t
true There is good evidence that Mr..
Letter is willing to sell May wheat to shorts
now at around $l.G5. There has been little
action In corn or provisions. Prominent
shorts have been buyers OF corn and oats.
The trade is looking for May liquidation in
corn. 1t may not come until later. Any
sharp advance in wheat would help the
price of corn. There is a good shipping de-
mand for provisions and prices are not
high.-F. d. Brown.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous Innings Of the Eustachan Tube.
When this tube Is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of 10 are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

At st. Paul Mr. ]. c. Ranley will re-
ceive subscriptions for The Representa-

We regret very much the action OF
Mr.. Long in resigning the office OF pres1-
dent of the state Alliance. We have too
high a regard for him to engage in any
controversy on the subject of which he
chose to address a communication to
the Farmers Alliance of Minnesota in
justification Of his position and attitude
on the matter.
There are a few errors which Mr..
Long makes (unconsciously we pre-
sume) One was to throw doubt on the
possibility of the passage of resolu-
ton endorsing farmers irrespective OF
party affiliations as worthy Of represent
ing the Alliance on the state boards
and institutions The original reSolu-
ton is here in my office. Mr.. Long pre-
sided when the resolution was PIT and
carried unanimously. The resolutions
were published in The Representative
the week following the convention en-
: tire The resolution was the outcome OF
very able and interesting paper read
by Louis Nash of st. Paul, before the
Alliance convention, wherein he showed
that the farmers of the state who paid
the bulk of the taxes to maintain these
boards and institutions were conspicu'
Gus by their absence. This resolution
was presented and adopted.
Mr. Long further says that if the AL
lance would pass such a resolution ant
descend to such an abyss of rottenness
that it will suppicate for positions o
trust and emoluments at the hands o
the Republican party, ETC., he woult
Z have nothing to do with the Alliance
etc. We must dissent from Mr.. Long s
views on this subject. The Alliance i

membership Is made up of all classe

MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS.
The Verdict as to the Agricultural
and Industrial Edition-Every-
body Very Much Pleased.

The general verdict as to the Agri-
cultural and Industrial edition of the
LEDGER is, that it is a magnificent
success. The edition came out ac-
cording to announcement and was
mailed all over the country. Advertis-
ers are highly pleased and subscribers
scanned the handsomely printed pages
with interest and speak hearty words
of commentator.
To say that everybody was gratified
with the edition would be to put it
mildly, for on every side have been
heard compliments on the entire sue
cess OF the enterprise.
If these descriptive articles and
biographical sketches arouse and add
to the business of this county, as we
believe they will, the object of the
edition will be attained. Considerably
more matter could have been added,
but late business has been crowded out
until next weeks issue, which will
have an unusually large circulation
throughout the county.
In the relations which the LEDGER
has had with MIR. ]. A. Barclay, the
gentleman who had charge of the
edition, he has shown himself to be q
perfect gentleman, careful of the in
terests of patrons and newspaper
man of ability.

BENEFAcTRESS WHO IS
DOING INCALCULABLE GOOD.
Devotes Much of Her Time to the Benefits Of

From The Evening NesSs, Detroit, Mieh.

Mrs.. John Tansey, of 100 Baker Street,
Detroit, Michigan, is one Of those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is q mother
to those in distress. To q reporter she said:
II am the mother Of ten children and
have raised eight Of them. Several years
ago we had a serious time with my daughter,
which began when she was about sixteen
years old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed TO gradually waste away.
Having never had any consumption in our
families, as we come of good old Irish and
Scotch descent, we did not think 1t was that
disease. Neither did she have q hacking
cough, yet she grew thinner and paler each
day. Our doctor called the disease by an
odd name which, - / afterward learned,
meant lack of blood.
cit is impossible to describe the feelings
John and / had as We noticed our daughter
slowly passing away from US. As Q last re-
sort I was induced to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, made by the DR.. Will

densed form sill the elements necessary to

taken half a box, there was a decided change,
and after three months treatment you would
not nave recognized her, as her health was
SO greatly improved. She gained in flesh
rapidly and soon was in perfect health. /
have always kept the pills in the house since
and have recommended them to every one /
could. / rave told many mothers about
them and they have made some wonderful
cures. One of the girls had a young lady
friend that came to the house almost every
day, and she was a sight. Honestly, she
seemed almost transparent. I did not care
to nave my daughters associate with her, as
I was afraid she would drop dead some day
when they were out on the street. / recon-
mended and begged her to take DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and told
her of their sterling qualities and how the
cost was slight, being only so cents a box or
six boxes for $3.50, at any druggists. Final
ly I induced her to try them.
"They helped her wonderfully, and un.
doubleday saved her life. She now recon.
mends them to other young women.
EVERY mother in this land should keep
these pills in the house, as they are good for
many other ailments. l don't believe in
doctoring and never spent much money in
medicines, but l can recommend DE- evil.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
e. B. Talbot and Miss Lena May

Wednesday Night, February
9-The Reception.

At $3.50 o'clock Wednesday evening,
9, there occurred a most
notable wedding. It was that of Mr..
Edward Bast Talbot and Miss Lena
May Ricketts,, who married by
Rev. Fielding Marvin at the home OF
the BRIDES father, Major II. A. Rick
etts.
Just before the bridal party entered,
Miss Julia Arnold sang, 80, Promise
Me-" Miss Arnold wore white taffeta
covered with little rufies of point de
spirit. Miss Colman, of st. Louis, pre-
sided at the piano and as the bridal
party came down the stairs played
Memberships wedding march. The
wedding party came down the STAIRS
in the following order:
The, bridemaids, Miss Fannie Potts,
wearing striped white satin taffeta,
carrying a large bouquet of Mermot
roses, and Miss Kota Luckie, attired
in yellow liberty silk over a white
silk slip, carrying Marechal Neil
roses, came first. Following came
the maid of honor, Miss Wayne Rick
etts, who wore light blue taffeta
under mousseline de sole of the same
color, which was covered half it's
with tiny ruffies of the same;
she carried long-stemmed roses. Fol-
the maid of honor were the
groom and best man, Mr.. ]! W. Wool
bridge; the bride bringing up the
rear on the arm of her father. Miss
Ricketts, wore duchesse satin, COW
cred with a full skirt of mousseline de

was a most delicate pattern of appli-
que honiton lace. She carried a
bridal bouquet, but wore no veil; she
wore her hair as usual with the ad-
dition of a pon-pon of tiny ostrich
tips and an aigrette.
The party entered the large west

and palms; roses were everywhere.
Amid these beautiful evidences of
Gods handiwork the father gave the
bride away. Rev. Fielding Marvin
performed a beautiful marriage cere-
mony. He used the ring ceremony.
