is to enforce this antitrust act, and,
according to his official report May
90, 1900, to congress, out of thirteen
instituted under this law three have
been began under his administration.
"This is the magnificent record Of
the present national administration,
and the complete notification of the
most important law upon the statute
books upon this subject since the be-
ginning of our government.
Believes Bryan Is Honest.
In conclusion Mr.. Monnett said
II believe that William Mckinley
and John w. Griggs, hisattorncy-gen-
eral, and his executive officers have
willfully, 'purposely and knowingly
paralyzed the executive arm of this
government for the last four years
and prevented the enforcement of the
common law and the statute law, both
criminally and civilly, against these
law yiolators. And the hour has now
come and the only time we will have
for the next four years as voters to
legally and constitutionally smite
them for their hypocrisy, to resent
this violation of official duty, and we
should vote against every elector that
is pledged on the republican ticket to
perpetuate this great wrong in our
republic.
civilian j. Bryan may not accom-
plish all that we expect or all that we
hope for in this behalf, but l believe
him to be thoroughly honest, sincere
AID determined man, and while do
not agree with him in all that he adj
vocates, yet Lam forced to take one
side or the other on this great qucs-
tion which for the masses is the para
mount issue, and in the name of patri-
otism and for the sake of our republic
and to prevent the threatene danger
that senator John Sherman and the
other neStors in the councils of our
government have so graphically
and which firmly believe
will come to pass if not checked, l
propose to cast my vote for that fear
less, upright champion OF the people
William j. Bryan"

HANNAH 4 VICTIM,
Redwood Falls Man "Conned' II
St. PAUL.

The Pioneer Press of last Satur-
day contained a story regarding one
James Rennie of Redwood Falls
having been sconned' out of $50.
The following is the story as given
by the ST. Paul daily:
James Rennie of Redwood Falls,
on his way home after winter in
the pineries of Wisconsin, fell in
with a confidence man yesterday
afternoon and was buncoed out OF
$50, his earnings for the winter.
While waiting for his train be
met the ''con' man at Fifth and
Sibley streets. The stranger was
going to Redwood Falls, where he
had bought a farm. A confederate
met them uptown. He was a doctor
and demanded $40 for services.
The confidence man did not have
the money with him, but he had
plenty in his grip at the depot.
They had only twenty minutes to
get their train, and the doctor had
to make a call and had not time to
go to the depot. Rennie. had $50
! and would willingly loan it until
they got to the depot.
"The doctor returned to his Office
to write receipt. Rennie agreed
to wait at the foot of the stairs un-
til his friend returned. He waited
an hour and half, and then he told
the police -
The party referred to is James
Hannah, who was in the employ of
H. J. Ledbetter last summer, and
whose family is residing on Mill
street. near Bridge He arrived
here Sunday afternoon, and was
apparently very much out of sorts

section Of the new road, line sixty
five miles in length, connecting
Fargo with the 500 line at Wendell,
will be constructed this summer.
This line is later to be continued
southwark to Redwood Falls, but
the completion of the first section
will give to Fargo it's long-desired
connections with the 500 line. Mr..
Won Media states futher that the
new company has no connections
with the 500 company, but that it is
composed entirely Of Fargo men and
Eastern capitalists. The 500 people
could not build to Fargo on account
of their agreement with the other
railroads, and the. Fargo people
accordingly engineered the for
<ryation of the new company.
A prospectus of the Gulf & Mani
toba has been received here. The
prospectus is neatly printed, and
sets forth the advantages of the
country through which the proposed
road passes, and in the rear is a
map showing the proposed line
from Kansas City to Duluth. On
this map the towns of Jackson, Win
dom, Sanborn, Redwood Falls, Bird
Island, Willmar. Rices and Duluth
are printed in large letters and with
red ink. This prospectus is being
used for the purpose of attracting
capital to the construction bonds OF
the company.

A case growing out Of the arrest
of James F. Casserly and Richard
Welsh Of Westline, for the alleged
arson of some hay belonging to
Joseph McGeough, in that town,
and on which charge the defendants
were discharged, has just been filed
with the clerk of court.

ant. Welsh, it will be remembered,

Falls, Mr.. McGeough maliciously
and without probable cause preferr-
ed false charge of arson in the
third degree against him before

Court of this city On that charge
Casserly was arrested and was
compelled to give bail in the sum of
$500 to obtain his release from said
arrest
On Jan. 4th, 1900, Casserly was
examined before Judge Chadderdon
for the supposed crime and the
Judge adjudged him not guilty
thereof and fully acquitted him of
the same and ordered that be be
discharged from custody, and that
the prosecution was wholly ended
At the time of the arrest, the
plaintiff alleges that he was engaged
in the business of operating and
carrying on a general store at the
postoffice in Westline, and by reason
of the premises he was injured in
his crodit and reputation to the ex-
tent of $500, and incurred an ex-
pense of $45 in costs and attorneys
fees, in defending himself, and in
procuring bail, and that by reason
of the false arrest, loss of time, ETC.,
!! he has been damaged to the extent
of 1000, for which amount he claims
judgment.

The Small Cotton Crop.

The disasters which have hindered
the present cotton crop in Georgia
are now painfully apparent. when we
see the few open bolls and the rust
covered leaves on the stalks
This opening is premature and in
many places there will be no cotton
to pick by the middle of October or
sooner.
| may be mistaken, but have an
idea that this rust is found where
the young cotton plants were hoed
or ploughed when the soil was too
wet This rust is a killer of the
tender young fruit, when the torrid
sun pours down upon the fields It
takes out the tender juices from
squares and stalks aud the few
perfected cotton bolIs are soon
cracked open. the trifle of cotton lint
is soon picked out, and the little bit
OF money it brings hardly meets the
guano bill and the expense of pick.
