The complaint of Pennington people
that the town is hurt by the short term
OF its public school is undoubtedly true.
New settlers are attracted by good
school facilities, and families with child
rem Of school age are not apt to settle ia
a district where school is kept only three
or four months out OF twelve, while dur
ing the other nine or eight months their
children loaf and forget what they have
been taught in the few months OF school
In communities like Harrington school
should be kept nine or ten months, for
it will pay the tax payers in dollars and
cents and their children will some day
bless them for the extra effort they
made to give them a good schooling"

NIENTS IN FAVOR OF THE ADJ
MINISTRATOR TAKEN BEFORE
TIE RECEIPTS WERE GIVEN.
The court says:
On the goth day of August, 1875,
Thomas F. McCready. the other resi-
duary legatee, and the party under
whom the complainant claims, exc
cuted q receipt to the Administered tor
in full of his interest in the estate. The
genuineness of this receipt is disputed
by the complainant.
subsequent to the date of those re-
ceipts the administrator collected more
than three hundred dollars on judg-
nentS rendered in his favor as admin
lStrator before the receipts were given.
The receipts being In fun Of all the in
terests which the parties giving them
had In the testator'S estate, the pre-
sumption is that the amounts due on
those Judgments were embraced in the
settlement or calculation made when
the receipts were given. That pre-
sumption, however, is only prima facie,
ana IN case like this would be more
easily rebutted than where the party
taking the receipt did not occupy a
hduciary relation.
There Is nothing. however, in this
case tending to- rebuff thct presump-
ton. After the execution of those re-
ceipts and until the administrator
death. period of seventeen or eighteen
years, all the parties in interest seem
to have treated the accounts Of the adj
ministrator as settled so fan as their
interests were concerned. After the adj
mtnistrator'a death, and until the in.

DOckage

From the above you will see that the in
spection department. is all right, but the
wheat buyers are misrepresenting the same,
and think this is done all along the line.
It not only works against the Inspection
department but against the present admin
istrat on, warehouse commissioners and all,
and for self-protection this matter ought to
be shown up. Yours respectfully,
II. P. BJORGE.
1t behooves every honest man who is in>,
tent on preserving the integrity of the grain
inspection to assist in running down this
fraudulent practice and warn their brother
farmers Of the imposition being made upon
them, in order that they may not be de-
ceived into voting to advance the interests
of the very crowd that is using these dishon-
orable methods against them.

Governor Lind and the Populists.

The Argus tries to prove that john
Lind is democrat by stating th vt he
has almost ignore d. the populist
pOintive offices among the democrats.
This is not true. In this county a II
appointments were made upon the
recommendation of the peoples
county committee, and that was true
in every county where the organiza-
tion is strong. Among the more i'm
portant offices, the populists hold the
places of 1ailnOad commissioner and
chief grain Inspector. Both Lind and
Bryan give full credit to the peoples
movement. This is what Bryan said
in his speech accepti' g the populi,t
nomination for president, at Topeka,
Kan.: ".n accepting the presidential
nOmina ion which you tender on be-
half of the populist par y, l desire to
give emphatic recognition to the edu-
cational work done by your party.
The populist party as an organizer
tiOn, and the farmers alliances and
the labor organizations from which It
sprung, have done much to arouse the
people to study of economic and
industrial questions. Believing, as I
do, that truth gro rs, not in seclusion,
but in the open field, and that it
thrives best in the sunli ght of full and
free debate, I have confidence that the
discussion which your party mas COM
PEELED will aid in rea hing tnat true
solution Of pending problems toward
which all honest citizens aim.''
Governor Lind says in his speeches
that every time he did something that
pleased the republicans, they would
say, "Lind used to be republican,
whenever he did something which they
did not approve of they would say,
''Lind is = Democrat; but whenever
he did something which hit some tax
dodger or big corporation pretty hard
they would exclaim, "Look at the pop
5OvernOr!"
Willmar tribune., 1900-11-02

The brazen attempt of the elevator COM
bine to prejudice the voters against the
grain Inspection department., by giving uu-
just grades just before election, should ba
rebuked by the farmers in the most effective
way-by voting for John Lind and Messrs.
Ringdal, Knox and Owen. Those are the
men the elevator companies want to defeat,
in order to get back the Clausen system Of
wheat grading. The elevators do not try
this scheme of reducing grades in towns
ers near Pennock are hauling wheat to
Willmar because they can get just grades.
here, as n. O. Nelson is not coptrolied bp
the Peavy ring. Those farmers are told By
the elevator men in Pennock that it is i'm
possible to give No. as the state inspec>
tion is too severe. They come to Willmar
and get Mol. This shows plainly the
falsenessQ the elevator mans claims.

1t knows that every word the TRIBUNE
says in the matter is true, and that
the best policy for the republicans
under the circumstances is to keep
quiet about it. The TRIBUNE did not
attack the commissioners who were
deceived w bad law and it's promot-
ers, but attacks those who wish to tax
the people Of the county to pay for
the JOB. The peoples county con-

The Wheat Grades at Spicer.

The Peavy elevator agent at Spicer
has oeen busy at work trying to in
fuence the farmers against the wheat
inspection. He exhibits sample No.
l wheat and claims he canrott c'et ahove
No. 2 or 3 for it. He bases this cla IN
on the fact that he shipped one car
tn at was graded No. 3. When asked
to give number of car he said he
shipped it as No. 2. The Cargill agent
at tnat place states that he saw a part
of the wheat in that car and that It
was of rejected grade. Pretty small
business. Out OF :53 cars of wheat
shipped from *Spicer last crop year,
only sew. n cars fell below NJ. l, and
they were graded No. 2. The dockage
in all cases was light.
