TONNES A DEMOCRAT.

y When the fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination for vice pres
ident was warmest G. A. Towne,
the head of the Free Silver Re-
publican party, was obliged to
admit that he was not any kind
of a Republican. The news re-
ports of the situation at Kansas
City on the morning of July 4
say: -:
The conservatives have made
the charge. IS persistently that
TOwne is not a Democrat but a
Populist that this morning the
Kansas City Times contains an
interview in which Towne SAYS
he is a Democrat and that he
would openly have affiliated
with the Democratic party in
1896 had not Bryan and Chair
man Jones requested him to re-
main where he was at the head
of the silver Republican forces.
He says:
AL It was believed that I could
do the allied forces more good
in that capacity than by going
with the Democratic party,
which was well organized and
equipped for active work. This
was not the case with the silver
Republicans, and it was argued
that by staying with them I
could render material service to
the reform forces.
4" l complied against what had
been my own judgment, but I
want TO say that in spirit and in

stand with: the Democratic

The Case Very Like That at ss
!. ,5s X Little Falls. ~ =

Papers have been fled in the United
States district court in the case III
the Anuka Electric Light and Water
Power company and the American
Trust and Savings Bank Of Chicago
against the city Of Anoka, Mimi,
the city officials and the councilmen,
in which the power of a municipal-
ity to revoke q contract with an
individual concern will be tested.
The object OF the litigation, as ex-
pressed in the complaint, is to secure
court order determining whether
the contracts between the parties
are still in force and directing the
payment of bills for light and water
furnished the city under those con-
tracts, the city have refused to settle.
The company is now operating IA
Anoka under an ordinance passed BY
the council in July, 1890, which pro-
vided for the erection of waterwOrks
and an electric plant in the city,
and subsequent ordinances which
provided that the city should pay
certain rents for a period OF thirty
one years. Under this contract, the
complaint says, the company's plant
was built. There was no question
concerning the working of The plants
until Feb. 6, 1899, says the complaint,
Then the city council passed resolu-
lions revoking the contracts with
the company. This, the complaint
alleges, was a conspiracy to destroy
the property OF the company. At
the same meeting OF the council a
resolution was unanimously carried
disallowjng the claim OF the COM
pany. &l
The complaint says that the acts
of the council in repeating the con-
tracts were in violation OF the pro-
visions OF the constitution of the
United States, which prohibits any.
state from passing laws impairing
the obligations OF q contract and.
which prohibits the taking of private
property without due process oflaw.t
The ordinances in repeal OF the
contracts were five in number, all
passed ut the meeting of ths,citys
council Feb. 6, 1899. The first re-
pealed the ordinance providing for
the erection of waterworks IN.
Anoka and defining the. rights,
privileges and powers OF the ccm-
pany; the second revoked the ordin-
ance relating to the purchase and
bonding OF the plant; another re-
pealed the ordinance relating to the
purchase of the plant.
The case is strikingly similar to
the case OF the Little Falls Highland
Water company against the city of
Little Falls, MIMI, which was de
cided some time ago, after prolonged

Most farmers feel 5ubliant over the
recent rains. Those who had given
up almost every hope OF getting any
kind of q crop this fall are now con-
fident of at least half yield. A. J..
Allen, of Flensberg, says that wheat
in that country will go about six
bushels to the acre while oats are OF
no consequence. FIJI. Farrand, of
Belle Prairie, believes he will get
from five to seven bushels per acre
Of wheat. Had it not been for the
recent rains he says he really in
tended to turn his stock into the
field, using it as a pasture. B. B.
Cox, OF Swanville, is 1T the opinion
that wheat on some farms around
there will run as high as fifteen
bushels while in some places it won't
go over six. He says that rain in
that locality has made wonderful
difference in business. True Doten,
who owns a farm south of town,
claims, on the average, five bushels
to the acre of wheat with no yield at
all Of oats. He says corn and pota-
toes are looking fine, the dry weather
not affecting them in the, least.
Dura Corbin says that at Swan
River farmers are feeling good and
are sure of making a little something
this fall. In some localities they
will get twelve bushels to the acre
and in other places not over five.
This seems not only to be the aver
age Of this locality but Of the entire
county. The extreme northwestern
part Of the county will, it is said,
show little better yield than the
rest sof the county. This section
had rain q little earlier than other
portions. ..,- 32>.,G3--..% a -.

I will write you something about

good to take a look at the life in
Cape Nome at the present time.
Igot here the 28th day OF May
after seven weeks sea voyage.
There was then q town OF about
5000 or 1000 inhabitants and two
steam boats lying outside. Now

and find q town Of 5000 or 10000
people and thirty eight steamboats,
lying outside the beach. Two men
shot one another here yesterday and
both were killed. You meet with
people from all parts of the

expectations, but the majority are
going to get LETT, for gold is not here
in large quantities as has been ad-
vertised. Nevertheless they are
working away by the thousands
with their rocker machinery, and
some, of course, are doing fairly we'll.

good many hive very anxious look

average them over 81 or SIS per day

We had an awful time getting
here, seven weeks on the way. We
were over to the Siberian coast
twice looking for an opening in the

and hope I may never again. We
saw q few seals and hundreds of

My partner and I are now going
to strike for new territory altogether
for we can find nothing we want

A N MURPHY R
NOTED APOSTLE OF TEMPERANCE
VISITING BUTTE.
His Opinion Of the Drink Habit and
the Canteen Question-Wiu~
Lecture.

Francis Murphy the noted apostle OF
temperance who is o on a visit TO
Butte in a. recent interview was asked
about the outlook for his work. He
said:
1T is very good and some of the good
things I have done in the cause OF tenn
perance are springing up every day. 1t
is my purpose to convince all that the
drink habit will ruin any man. care not
who he is. Young men should be made
to understand that no corporation, indus
trial concern or business mar wants an
employee who touches liquor. Big rail
road corporations are recognizing the
fact that an engineer,-a brakeman, a con-
ductor or a motorman who is addicted to
the habit is not qualified for the position
he holds. This is true in smaller branches
of business.
1.-The canteen question is being agitat-
ed to some extent. Opinions on this Ques-
ton are divided. The soldiers are not
~drunkards n the officers are doing all
camps. Officers say the use of light
drinks in camp is better than heavy
drinks in nearby saloons. OF two evils
will take the lesser. You can't prohibit
everything. It is undertaking too much
to say what a soldier shall eat, drink and
wear. 1t Is not a political question. but
one of gospel temperance, a question OF
love, cnaflty ana a burning desire TO nelp
your fellOWman."
What hav you to say on the presi-
dents ~attitude?"
II think he has been badly treated. The
accusations made against him have not
been prompted by proper motives. Mr..
Mckinley is surely a good man and he is
not catering to the whisky power of this
country.
THE best way to stop the sale of liquor
is to close up your own saloon between
the nose and chin"
