manners. William Walker furnished
an affidavit that he is not now, and has
not been interested with any saloon,
which disproyes a statement We all
/ had heard on him.
Ed Strand and J. 3. Moore complied
with the requirements Of the law Thurs
day in visiting the school as a board
They found things very progressive
under the management Of F. E. Bar
nett, teacher.
Quite a number Of the boys we're at
the Williams sale Wednesday, which
knocked them out OF attending the
speaking that night.
Ed Strand and G. c. Chinberg traded
four-year-oId bulls last Friday and had
a big time getting the old fellows to
agree to be swopped of.
E. HulstrOm's team was tied to Ed
Strands wagon Thursday night while
he and some other neighbors were Wis
iting there, and somehow the team got
to pulling back, taking wagon, cart and
spring wagon, etc, with them, and re-
suited in breaking the tongue of on
Hulstrom's rig before the mix-up Was
over. Wonder if the boys weren't plot
ting deviltry when it ali happened.
Itruns through our hair, that aInjin"
summer failed to materslize this year,
or We have forgotten it, one or the
other.
The political game Of shuttlecOck is
still being played out here. Since last
weeks statement Of the judges Of our
election was handed in, we learn
Central George" has been dumped
overheard and a democrat given his
place The g. o. p trick seems to have
come home to George this time to stay.
Mat Sprague receives the hOnOred pO-
sition. Chicken viii come home to
rOost," you know, and several hurrahs
90 up. Central George" needs an
other pistol now, so he will have one
for Swedes, one for pops and No. for
democrats. But then his two hands
can only handle a gun each. Guess he

and go after the democrats with his
"blOw-gUn."
Ed Strand had a calf get its leg
broken last week.
Swan Strand bought three more
calves at Williams sale.

The selection Of Moore as judge TO count the
pOpulist votes here may not be a misfit, though
a little ungramatical.
If there is republican defeat IN our township.
and We believe there viii be, it can't be laid to
Central Georges laziness, If he is longer In
bed than Central Jim Of pop denomination.
Another week and the republicans viii have a
chance TO vote their convictions on political
management. The republican editor asks what
do the pOpulists promise your We answer

water fountain. No trio Of leaders asking many
to make the race while they sneak into a secret
closet and slate those who can be satisfied by
tasting the frOth, while they reserve the privil-
eye Of dealing out the spoonful Of Office syrup
at the bottom Of the glass. Your leaders are
mistaken when they tell you, I'VE ask you to

fence needs tearing down and a new ground
chink placed under, and the old rotten and
crooked rails taken oct. As IL Is now the repub-
hcans crawl out at the rotten gaps they know so
we'll; and when pop goes to crawl in through
the rails they are so awful crooked that he
comes out on the same side he started In on.
The Swedes have got enough Of it and have
quit being like ivy clinging TO an old ruin. They
remember the motion made at the home caucus
and good vote taken instructing the delegates
for Gust Strand first, last and all the time as
long as be was in the race for sheriff, and then
Gen. George refused to put the contrary vote.
and told the delegates to vote as they d
please at the county convention which showed
right there that Gust was not on the slate tick

Now who can blame them for voting against

but you can't fool all the Swedes all the time"
And there are some American fellows who have
caught on to the situation, and viii cast their
votes along with the Swedes, as they should do.
We hear that Central" George VIII aspire to
higher position In the g. o. .. next year. It Is
that Of chimney sweep, a business that scots
some people. He is destined to be on top, you
