To the Editor of the wshpeton Times:

10 the Editor OF the WahpetOn Times:
The time is at hand when
the voters of the county will
have an opportunity to elect
competent men to the different
county Offices. The tax payers
should carefully weigh the in
tegrity and capabilities of the
different candidates. The dem
ocratic party has nominated a
ticket that is above reproach,
men who are not the tools of
gang politicians but will work
for the interests of the tax
payers of this county. regard
less of politics. The republican
party does not seem to think
the German element in the
county are entitled to any rec
|ognition. They have not plac-
ed before the voters of the
county a single German for
any important county Office.
They ignored the Bohemians
in doing the same. The dem
ocratic party says the Ameri-
cans, Germans, Norwegians,
and Bohemians should be rep
resented at the county seat as
noticed in the makeup of that
ticket: two Americans, two
Germans, two Norwegians, and
one Bohemian, and all nation
alities are entitled to 1eprcsen-
tation. Still the republican
gang will have the cheek to
ask the German, and Bohemin,
voters of this county to
support their ticket; they say
we will capture few promi-
nent leaders and the rest will
follow. They say the Moore
ton convention will not amount
to anything, that Jim" will
get the delegates to that con-
vention into line by false
promises and a little boddIe.
That cunning "Al" will handle
the German vote in Wahpeton
and all over the county as they
implecitely rely on his leader
ship; that Johnny" will hand
le the Bohemian vote. The
voters of this county on Nov
ember 9th will show the gang
that honesty and capability
are the chief qualifications.
Don't be deceived by gang cir
culars.

CLEVELAND FOR BRYAN.
He Predicts a Landslide for the

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 80,
19OO..-The Times today pub
fishes the following:
Princeton, N. j., Oct. 29.-
Grover Cleveland, former pres
ident, in an interview which 1
had with him, predicted a land
slide to w. J. Bryan, the dem
cratic Candidate for president.
He advanced several reasons
for this.
For an hour the democratic
statesman fought shy of any
reference to the political situa-
ton. He urged that he no
louger takes any active part in
politics and is content to
quietly look on.
Then our conversation turn
ed to the conditions in the
West, and, after a little remi-
niscent talk Mr.. Cleveland
said:
YOUNG MAN YOU WILL
SEE A LANDSLIDE FOR
BRYAN THE NOR MIN G
AFTER ELECTION. o F
THIS 1 AM CONFIDENT"
To this 1 replied that the in
dications, according to the re-
publican leaders are favorable
to Mckinley, bnt he quickly
retorted: "Of course they are.
That is policy, what tell you
is my private opinion"
There was no doubt concern
ing the former presidents sim
cerity in his expressed belief,
and when l asked him what
reasons he had for so thinking,
he continued: "You do not un-
derstand the condit o n s.
There are clemens all over the
country at work which it
would be impossible to draw
into line for Mckinley. In the
first place, union labor is for
Bryan. OF recent years this
organization of labor has been
a factor in politics, and it GER
tainly is not favo, able to the
interests of capital.
"The travelling men are for
Bryan. These men, a small
army, are of the opinion that
the republican party is the
protector of corporations, and
by the amalgamation of indus
trial interests many of them
have been, thrown out of en-
ployment.
"In the Northwest, in Min
nesota, in Dakota, and Iowa
there are many Holanders.
Sympathy with the Beers, who
are their own flesh and blood,
will induce them to support
Bryan. See if I am not cor
rect.
IL have no desire to be drawn
into any controversy over the
result of the election, but if the
republican managers honestly
think that President McKinle y
will be reelected, it is my opin-
ion they are mistaken. They
do not know the situation"

The threatened bonnie femme skirt
was bad enough, bnt now there seems
to be a movement towards crosswise
fullness.
Yes, one or two of the imported
evening dresses show this very effect
which we were wont to call draping.
Now, draping sounds well, and in
deed, it is very lovely and graceful,
especially for curtains and canopies.
But for our ownselves-well, if it's
just the same to the designer, we'd
rather not.
1t is man, dear man! who usually
gives himself the trouble of thinking
out these elaborate nuisances for
poor, incapable femininity. And
right here we'd like to know what he
has against US. If he really thinks
draped clothing SO altogether admir-
able, why doesn't he put in a bit OF
his valuable time conjuring up pulled
waistcoats, plated coats and draped
breetches with dust-catching rutfles
for his own sex? 1t really isn't fair
to load upon us all the wondrous
children of his gigantic brain.
Really, we are not selfish; we'd
delight to share our loneliness with
him!
Especially the draped part of it.
Drapery, you know, while possess
ing string of virtues, gets even by
also possessing even more vices. Out
side of the fact that it's always be-
coming disarranged, there's the gentle
little way it has of sagging down un-
til the fair wearer catches her foot in it.
Being thrown down by graceful
drapering is no more consoling than
less OF picturesque tumble. If you
break your nose, it's broken, and
that's all.-Philadelphia Record

The mind is awakened, and the nerves
begin an activity that must be kept
within certain well-defned limits.
Let the child show the first serious
symptoms of nervous disorder or over
study, and the duty of tne parent sud-
denly overtops that of the instructor.
There is only one safe course to pur-
sue. The child should be taken from
the school until the physical balance
has been recovered. 1t is better to
let him grow up without a systematic
education than to continue in his
sickly course acquiring all the &C.
cumulated wisdom of the ages. Let
the child reach maturity without
break down and with but few days of
sickness scored against him, and he
will! attack the problem of life with
zest and earnestness that will half win
the battle. Rear him in sickness and
Indifferent health and he will stand
fearfully handicapped in the race"

The sweet peas were planted near
the top of the ground, not in deep
trench as formerly. Then, after they
began to run, sifted the ashes from
the kitchen stove (part coal and part
woodl by the side of the row every
morning until the ashes were about
six inches deep from the row of sweet
peas to the row of potatoes on each
side. These kept the roots cool and
damp and we never saw such thrifty
sweet pea vines and large blossoms.
The row was sixteen feet long and a
large bunch was picked nearly every
day from July 4 until October l. The
vines got about eighteen inches above
the six feet wire and then fell back,
For the last five weeks it was neces-
sary to use chair to stand on to pick.

Tin For Potato Growers.

A simple method of preventing rot
and other diseased conditions of win
ter seed potatoes is in use by the
peasants of Thuringia, according to
Consul Hughes at Coburg Those
potatoes that rot easily in the cellar
in winter are made better able to re.
sIst disease conditions and cold by
being laid in a sunny place, as far
apart from each other as possible.
They are turned over morning and
night until they become thoroughly
green, and are then placed in the eel
lar for the winter. Potatoes treated
in this manner do not rot and can
withstand a great amount of cold with
out freezing. Early potatoes thus
treated do not srrout in the cellar,
and so retain their full strength. In
February the potatoes are taken from
the cellar and put in q partially
warmed room until planting time.
When planted they will sprout strong
er AMI quicker than potatoes not so
treated, and the crop will be larger
and better.

Glass is now made so cheaply and
greenhouses are so little expense, that
they are probably used for growing
many things for market that were
formerly grown out of doors. All the
best foreign varieties Of grapes are
grown by some of the leading nur-
serymen in cold graperies, where no
heat is used and the vines are resting
during the winter just the same as
they do out of doors. But under glass
in the cold grapery the buds will
start several weeks earlier than they
can in the open air. The grapes will
not be chilled at night by dews, as
they are out of doors even during
most of the summer months. Hence
they will ripen without mildewing the
foliage or having the fruit attacked
by fungus. To some extent the
growers of native grapes are taking a
hint from the cold grapery under glass.
If native vine is trained so that some
of its fruit is ripened under pro-
tecting awning, such fruit will be much
finer and better than it ever can be
grown on parts of the vine that are
not thus ppOtected.

rich old pasture lands. About the
middle of June, with a sharp spade,

-four inches deep, and raise one side
enough to allow the insertion Of a
piece of spawn. two or three inches

Valenciennes lace Will be very pop
ular for trimming the thin summer
gowns.
Fine designs in Cluny lace appear
on new summer toilets, waists and
linen lawn and cambria lingerie.
Silk-warp gypsy cloth and sllk-warp
eolienne are new and fashionable
dress fabrics that appear in all the
beautiful pastel colorings Of the sea-
son.
The very high choker is no longer
deemed elegant. Collars of all kinds
are lower. In fact, many Of the latest
afternoon toilets are cut out in the
neck.
Among the most stylish parasols
for the beginning of the season will be
those of satin trimmed with velvet
polka dots. The handles are of natural
wood and are very short and thick.
The new embroidered batiste is q
charming material for summer gowns,
as it comes in variety of pretty
tints, embroidered both in white and
colors, and in white embroidered with
different colors.
Taffeta and crepe de chimes are
trimmed with cloth applied in stitched
bands. They give weight to the
skirt, which is desirable, and when
they are used it is unnecessary to
weight the skirt with lead.
The length of the stitchings on
killed or side-plaited skirts varies
from few inches below the hips to
within a quarter Of yard of the bot
tom of the skirt; and on some of the
imported cloth costumes tie kits or
side-plaits, reaching the entire length
Of the skirt, are stitched from belt to
nem.
The great diversity in the ways and
means manipulating lace, insertion,
edgings and appliques is certainly an
expressive tribute to the versatile and
artistic dress designers this season.
Everything which has ever been used
for this purpose seems to have been
revived and added to the novelties for
the summer season, which are already
being shown.
