out as to earnings. It is understood
from reliable sources that the company

practically decided to build three new

The following from q well known
populist paper is not bad: Know
just what you are doing. If you wish
to become democrat, march in by
the straight route and attend eau
cuses under Democratic head.
Then people can respect you for
your honesty. But if you go into
a no-called populist convention pur-
posely to support a Democrat for
national lesder, you say 70 Popu-
list need apply. and you virtually
offer up the Omaha platform sacri-
fee on the Democratic altar. Our
contention is, go in straight if at all.
Don't let few Office holding and
Office seeking splt-up-the-back popu-
lists make you believe that Mr. Bryan
is populist until he endorses the
populist platform" Lyon County

of these predictions. An exchange
notices this, too, and asks the follow
ing questions: care we compelled to
pay our taxes in gotd coin? Have we
25 cent wheat, Is cent corn, 5 cent
cotton? Have we the hard times pre-
dicted? Have we injured our export
trade by our tariff laws2 Has every
other form of money, save gold, dis
appeared? Has the circulating medi-
UNI decressed2 Is there single pre-
diction of Democratic origin that
has come true? If so, name it. The
trouble is the democrats we're never
cut out for prophets, and they are
just as great failures when they at

ALTHOUGH the people are very i'm
patient that the Nicarauguan canal
shall be built, yet the passing of the
canal bill at present would be
quite unwsrranted. Somewhat of
the labors of the canal commission
were published in the Scientific
American some time ago, and from
that some idea was gained of the
vast engineering problems involved
in the construction of the canal. 1t
would be an easy matter to order
the canal built and after it was built
to find that there was not enough
rainfall to feed Lake Nicaragua
to maintain the level of the lake
after the canal is opened. Better to
wait until the canal commission
makes it's report and then proceed tc
build the canal intelligently.

WHEN party will base its hope
for victory at the polls on the follow
ing which has appeared in half the
Democratic papers of the state, it is
time for us to abandon all the trouble
of electing a president and adopt
some more convenient method. We
might throw ali candidates for the
for the presidency into a pond, then
let all that float try the ordeal of bat
tie till only one survive. Here is the
dire prophecy which will defeat
President Mckinley "This fall for
the fifth time in the history of our
country, the occupant of the White
House will be pitted for reelection
against the man he defeated four
years ago, and in each case in the
past the president went down before
his former adversary. It is said that

GEORGE N. WISWELL.

One of the most important person
ages about convention is the ser.
geant at arms, and this position at
the National Republican Convention
will be held by George N. Wiswell
of Wisconsin. He has had a great
deal of experience in handling poll
tical assemblages, having been assist
ant sergeantat-aams at the national
conventions at Chicago in 1888,
Minneapolis in 1892, and at St.Louis
in 1895. He is Wisconsin man py
birth and is now forty eight years
old. He learned the trade of timer
and plumber and established him
self in business. In 1886 he was
elected sheriff of his county, snd in
1889 President Harrison appointed
him United States marshall for the
eastean district of Wisconsin, and he
held the Office until 1898. During his
term of Office he affected the break
ing up of several notorious and dan
gerous gangs of robbers and counter
feiters. Since 1898 he has been Sec
rotary and general manager of the
Fraternal Alliance insurance COM
pany. He is popular politician, and
his friends are pleased at his election
to this responsible position.

4 CASE Of interest to members

A CASE of interest to members of
fraternal insurance orders was de-
cided by the supreme court on Mon
day. j. M. Elder sued the A.O.U.W
TO recover on a policy held by his
deceased brother J. r. Elder. The
latter had bsen the member of the
organization for four years and in
that time had been suspended foul
times for non payment of dues. h
had each time been reinstated, ex
cept the last time, being in arrears a
his death, These dues we're nevel
paid and the Supreme court decide
that the order was not liable on tn
policy on account of the system EN-
ployed in reinstating members. [
simple payment of arrearages &C
complished reinstatement then tn
order would have been liable on tn
policy, but where suspended mem
bers are required to be balloted OF
simple payment of arrearages doe
not suffice.

WASHINGTON, May %. = Secretary
Hay entertained at luncheon the Boer

fair was purely personal compliment
extended by the secretary and had not
even social significance. His son,
Adelbert Hay, the present United States

Every town has him. We refer to

is just too smart to live, and takes
delight in airing his opinion on all
subjects whether asked or not, In
short at all times and in al! company
he simply makes nuisence of him
self by imagining that he Is partic-
ulsrly warm number. When he
grows older he will learn by expert
ence, get a little sense and then will
view with disgust the same class OF
boys and will wonder if he was ever
suca blankety- blank fool. A smart
alex is at once an object of pity and
disgust, but as the law forbids kill
ing them the.poor people are obliged

munity.-Dassel Anchor.

4 Favored Spot.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says:
The fact that the population of All
IONA has increased 1919 per cent
in ten years is significant. 1t points
to grea; future, under the growth
OF the system OF irrigation, which is
turning much OF the territory into
a garden Of Eden.
Arizona produces oranges, figs, al
monds, pomegranates and other
semi tropical fruits. 1t has the
largest fig orch .rd in the United
States and in every portion of the
territory whore irrigation has been
introduced the desert has been made
to blossom and bear abuudaHtly.
This part OF the great southwest
says the author of "The Conquest Of
Arid America" bears striking re-
semblance to the land OF Egypt, ex
cept that the irrigation is not nat
ural, but must be forced.
With the methods now known anC
which are constantly being i'm
proved, Arizona viii doubtless be
come one OF the favored spots in the
United States, instead of being, a,
she ohco was, the most dangerc u
