One of the most destructive prairie
fires has swept this country complete
y, destroying everything in it's course.
Tons and tons of hay have burned,
and nearly all grass also. The soil IS
burning 5 and 6 inches into the
ground, and everything around us is
aglow with fire. Cattle are suffering
from sore feet on account of walking
on the hot ground, and sometimes in
to the fire.. The corduroy across the
floating bog is destroyed as well as
other road work that has been done.
The fire started near Mud Lake and
was started by hunters. I fear that
hunters coming in here after this will
not fare any too well. They have
been curse and annoyance always !;
they keep killing of moose and deer
all the year round, and no one here to
put stop to it. Cor. =

WIND RAIN HAIL.

The clouds have commenced to-roll
this way and torrents OF rain have
fallen during the past few days.
Last Saturday a terrific wind and
rain storm, accompanied by hail ia
localities, swept over this part of the
valley, and was apparently the open
ing wedge that rent the heavens.
The storm came from the Dakota
side, moving in north easterly d.
rection. Warren was struck about
9 a. M, but very gently as far as
the wind goes. The dark heavy
clouds rolled low and envelopedl eve
rythipg in darkness, making it nec-
essary to have lights lit in places Of
business. It rained heavily for about
two hours, but no hail fell here. A
few miles north of town some hail
fell damaging the crop on few
farms. On the March farm a large
sheep shed was blown down by the
wind. The Crookston Tribune says
that the house, barn and other
buildings Of a farmer named John
Hendrickson were totally destroyed,
and that Mrs. Hendrickson was car
ried half a mile, and was found after
a long search in a field, still living,
but unconscious. it is said she can
not recover. A barr at st. Hilaire
blew down and killed a horse. Thief
River Falls also suffered, and Fisher
was badly shaken up. On the lako-
ia side the storm is reported as hav-
ing been more severe, and accompa-
MED by more hail.
Since Saturday more rain has fall
en-. On Sunday afternoon, Monday
and Tuesday nights and Wednesday
evening we had big rains, and the
ground is now thoroughly soaked.
While these rains come at an
inopportune time, the middle oil har-
vest, yet they are a blessing in dis
guise. Crops have undoubtedly SUI
fered some on their account, but
grass and pastures will be helped,
making it unnecessary to COM
mence feeding hay right away.
Farmers who sowed fodder corn and
.other late crops need not worry for
cattle feed now. The water question,
which was getting serious on many
farms. has also been solved. The
soil has also been put in good condi-
tion for blowing. And the big fires
that were raging in the eastern part
OF the county must have been put
out by this time, and danger from
that source much lessened. Let us
hope and pray that fair weather will
prevail for a while now so that the
crop may be safely garnered.

were four years ago that 16 to 1 is an unwise
ana dangerous policy. The most of them
I believe. will be found supporting Bryan
in this campaign. That which was the
paramount issue in 1896 is not the para
mount issue in 1900.
'They believe that imperialism is the
most dangerous possible policy for the re.
public to adopt and that it is of the utmost
consequence that the American people
should repudiate it absolutely by defeating
the party that is responsible for it.
For that reason they will vote for BRYAN
In 1900 Notwithstanding the 16 to plank.
just as in 1896 they voted for Mckinley not
withstanding the protection plank in the
republican platform. They were not pro-
tectionists in 1896, but they did not regard
protection as the chief issue of the cam
paign. and so they supported Mckinley on
protection platform.
They are not to-day free silver men, but
they do not regard that as the predominant
issue in the present campaign, and so they
will support Bryan. although he stands on a
16 to platform. Personally believe Is to
1 Is dead issue. The American people re-
pud1ated 1t four years ago, and they have
not changed their mind respecting it.
IF the democrats should undertake to es-
tabliSh silver standard in my opinion they
would be driven from power. / do not be-
lieve they would Seriously attempt it. But
whether they would or not, they certainly
could not accomplish 1T in the next four
years. The election of Mr.. Bryan cannot
accomplish such a result, and his election
will not be interpreted as an Endorsement
of his views on the money question"

PLANTATION Department. Post.
Vice Chairman Payne, of the re-
Publican national committee, says
1.-THE main issue is the Mckinley adj
ministration, and on that the repub-
lican party must stand or fall" Well,
let it go at that. 1t seems hard,
though, that a whole party should be
wiped out by the mistakes and wick
edness of half dozen puny politi-
cians.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Either our manufacturers do
not need any protective tariff to en-
able them to hold the home market,
or if they do they must be selling to
foreign markets below the cost of pro-
duction and are exacting extortionate
prices from their own countrymen
under shelter of the Dingley tariff.
Whichever horn of the dilemma the
Hanna party seizes will convict it of
employing the protective tariff for
purposes of commercial robbery of
the American people.-Kansas City

TO arrest the flying fugitives they
were caught in the destroying food
and had to swim to purgatory
through the overwhelming waters Of
the Red sea. There is not the least
semblance of an argument in the
crazy preachers illustration. Social
ism in America is the exact opposite
of the tyranny of Egypt. Talmage
and the rest of the imperial gang
still sigh for return to King Herod
and the flesh pots of Egypt, but the
socialists oppose all kings and all des-
potic governments, even the govern
ment of plutocracy. ~
They believe that the railroads, the
mines. the telegraphs and all public
monopolies should be owned by all
the people instead of few syndicates
and that the laborer should be en-
titled to all the fruits of his own toll.
They can see no reason why they
should earn S. a day and give four of
it to some idle. man so that he may
live in ease and luxury.
Is it possible that Talmage cannot
see that the condition of labor in
Egypt is the exact opposite to the
condition of labor for which the So
cialists throughout the world are
working? In Egypt the king and his
courtiers owned everything and the
common people were all slaves. Tbs
socialists wish everything to h
owned and controlled by all the peo-
pie and that no man on earth, not
even Talmage. shall have any special
privileges.
Two, millions of Americans, 1OO,-
100000 of Europeans and 100000, 900
of Asiatics are still raising the cry
of the enslaved Israelites: Ya!
Allah! va! Allah! o! God. o. God!
but Talmage can hear no cry unless IS
is 5000 years old.
Does that condemned old idioA
think he can impose such nonsense
on intelligent men and women? So
cialism is growing with wonderful
rapidity and in many countries it is a
tremendous force 1t is increasing
here-every day is a day of pentacost,
in which thousands are turning to
justice and to God. The people are
marching onward and upward and
soon there will be another cry of an
guish. 1t will be woe to kings-woe
to principalities and powers--woe to
the plutocrats and the plunderers OF
the people-woe to Talmage and all
the rest of Gods lying prophets

Etiquette on the Battle field,

During a recent sharp skirmish,"
says an English paper, IAN English
officer in South Africa noticed one
of his guns in danger. Calling an
officer to his side. he requested him to
go and help the captain try and bring
it in. Pardon he added, as the
officer turned to obey, perhaps you
do not know the captain?' The officer
had not the pleasure. I'll introduce
you. then-charming fellow said his
lordship. and, regardless of bursting
shells and puffs of dirt which marked
the pitch of bullets around them, he
cantered along the hillside with him.
Captain he shouted, let me introduce
my friend, Mr.. b, captain A. He will
lend you hand to bring in the gun:
hope neither of you will be knocked
over doing it.

VASTLY DIFFERENT.
Imperialism the Spirit Of Empire,
and Democracy the Essence
Of FfeedOm.

What is the difference between the
democratic and the republican atti-
tude toward the Philippines?
The New York Times affirms that
there is practically no difference. 1t
attempts to justify this opinion by a
pettifogging paraphrase of the two
policies.
7 In a matter of such moment are not
the people entitled to judge the par
ties and the candidates by their own
words and acts? Mr.. Mckinley in his
speech of acceptance says:
The Philippines are ours, and American
authority must be supreme throughout the
archipelago. There must be no scuttle
policy.
Mr.. Bryan in his speech takes the
position that the Philippines belong
to the Filipinos, and that the Filipinos
own themselves. He says:
eff governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, it is i'm
possible to secure title to people either by
fend right, but force has never yet Great
ed right. If it was true as declared in the
resolutions of Intervention, that the Cubans
"are and of right ought to be free and indie
pendent" Language taken from the Declar-
alton of Independence), it is equally true
that the Filipinos are and of right ought
to be free and independent -
Is there not a vast and vital diff
ference between these two positions
1t is the difference between independ-
