THE ELECTIONS.


Notwithstanding this is an OF
wear in which the party in power
usually loses heavily, the results
are altogether gratifying. The
vote was not heavy, but the result
may be briefly summed up:
Pennsylvania republican by U.s.
600.
Ohio republican by $4,000.
Iowa republican by 10000.
South Dakota republican by 49,
900.
New York, no state ticket, legis'
lature overwhelmingly republican
New Jerseyrepublican by 10000
Massachusetts, republican by
$1,000.
Kansas, no state ticket but ire
mendous republican gains on coun'
ty officers.
Kentucky in doubt.
Nebraska and Maryland demo
cratic by about $4,000 each.
And the significance of the cleo
ton is the endorsement of the adj
ministration.

A young woman, evidently demented
to a degree, has given the St. Cloud
police a great deal of trouble by heav-
ing brickbats through windows in that
city. She says her name is Tilda
Thompson, and the ST. Cloud papers
say that she was formerly engaged in
the home of Chas. Fl. Bennett. This
is a very annoying error, as the Tilda
Thompson who was SO long with Mrs.
Bennett is now in the employ of Mrs.
John r. Howard and is a trusted en-
ploye and far from being demented to
any degree.

Murphy's saloon was entered by one
or more burglars on Monday night,
and property valued at sixty dollars
stolen. The till was rifed of $500, two
revolvers, and five ivory billiard balls
taken from a drawer, and cigars and
liquors in unknown but not large guam
titles taken. Entrance was gained
through a window in the rear, the lock
latch having been opened during the
evening. The wire screen was cut to
admit of entrance. The only wonder
is that nor property was not taken, as
it was of easy access.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

1t was briefly announced las
week that a State Farmers lnstl
tute would be held in this city or
December II and ~, and while ne
definite information has been re-
ceived relative to the program the
HERALD desires to emphasize thell
great value to the practical farmer
In the first place the lecturers ano
instructors are successful farmers
men who have made profitable the
line of business upon which they
speak, and that under conditions
such as are to be met with right
here and now.
The sooner the farmers OF this
section become sufficiently i'm
pressed with the fact that practl'
cally exclusive wheat raising is
not profitable as to induce them to
diversity their enterprise, the bet
ter for them and for the country
Wheat is overdone, not in this
country only, but throughout the
wheat-producing areas of North
and South America, eastern Europe
India and Australia, and wheat
from all these parts of the globe
meets in a competitive market. Fig.
ures and statistics as to production,
visible supply, surplus and what
not are seemingly worthless as in
dications of future price and are
powerless to fix immediate prices.
What ought to be, and what ap.
parently must happen, are set at
defiance by what is. Low prices
prevail Notwithstanding. Such be-
ing the case the Wisest course is to
quit an Improbable branch OF ag-
riculture and try others which af-
ford better promise of satisfactory
results.
Stock breeding and dairying are
profitable so far as immediate re-
turns are concerned, and further,
more the farm that is devoted to
stock is not degenerating. Stock
of all kinds and dairy products are
reasonably sure at all times, and
the indications are they will in
crease in price for a long time tc
come. The stock and dairy farmer
must of necessity raise a variety
of crops for feed, and by varying
these as to kind and locality, anc
with the fertilization which mus
ensue, the farm increases in fertility
and value,
These, and a score of othel
points, will be clearly brought ou'
at the Institute, and practical sug
gestions and lspecific instruction
given as to the best methods t.
pursue.
Let there be a large attendance
at this institute, and every farmeI
who attends will be richly repaie
for his time and trouble. No fee il
charged and no contribution asked
Not a cent of expense will fall up
on the. farmer who attends.

An extraordinary record has been

On November g, the amount of beets

public by the factory for the purpose
of correcting certain statements made
by local country newspapers through

School Notes.

The normal class commenced ODser-
walton work in grades on Monday.
The branches being observed are read
ing, history and language. Each
student teacher has been assigned a
grade where she will observe and teach
one of these subjects for a given length
of time. During this time the student
teacher will assist the grade teacher in
different ways. and in this way will
be a help to the teachers and profit by
the experience.
Mrs. Nels Christensen visited the
fourth grade last week.
A boy in one Of the grades remarked
to his teacher "Miss-there are a
great many books being carried home
this evening"" The teacher looking
| around found that many of the boys,
who had formerly spent their evenings
playing on the streets, were taking
books home for study. Is This aresult
of the curfew ordinance?
THE ALEXANDRIA VISIT.
Through the courtesy of the Board
of Education the teachers were per-
mitted to visit the Alexandria public
schools last Friday. By going up on
the night train they had the entire day
for visiting.
After breakfast several went to the
Washington school where they visited
the lower grades. The others went to
the high school building to inspect the
work in the classes or grades CORES
ponding their own.
Those permitted to visit the high
school we're much pleased with the
opening exercises which consisted OF
singing. Very few high schools can
boast of so good a chorus. The four
parts were nicely balanced, the tenor
and base being exceptionally strong
for boys voices. Everyone sang with
spirit and expression, indicating a
Guilty. ated musical sense which was
highly complimentary to their instruc-
tor. The teachers who visited high
school classes express themselves as
being favorabIy impressed with the
work doneb by bothteachers and pupils.
Those who spent the day in the grades
are unanimous in praising the work
which they observed. Music seems to
be we'll taught throughout the schools.
Everywhere enthusiasm; everywhere
was evidence of careful supervision.
In the evening a very pleasing pro-
am was rendered by the high school
literary society. The people of Alex
andriaseem to be proud of their schools
and they certainly have reason to be.
Half of the teachers came back on the
way freight on Friday night. They all
appreciate the courtesy of the Great
Northern conductor who obliged them
to walk nearly a a mile along a rough
railroad grade at eleven o'clock at
night, rather than stop the caboose a
the station.

Detroit, March 10. A circular letter
announcing meeting of "the national
social and political conference" at Buff
falo, June % to July 3, was made pub
lie here and caused quite futter in
anti-Pingree circles. The letter says
the meeting lis for progressive men
and women of various political and So
cial beliefs to consider the present con-
dition of American politics and eco
Monies and what is the next thing to
do" Gov. Pingree's opponents affected
to see in the announcement a realiza-
ton Of his threat Of a new party, and
concluded that for him il would be a
stepping stone TO a nomination for the
presidency. They based this belief on
the fact that the governor is named as
chairman of the committee issuing the
invitation. Others who have read the
circular cannot see any political move
Of that kind, many of the names signed
to the call negativing such conclusion.
