Graded No. l Northern.

John Nelson shipped two car
loads of wheat from the Sphinx
farm to Vandusen, Harrington
& Co., last week ,threshed from
the shock since the heavy
rains, and it graded No. 1
Northern and brought 76Acts.,
per bushel. MIR. Nelson was
naturally elated over the mat
ter and thought the late rains
had not been so disastrous as
had been feared would be the
case. But now imagine his
surprise, when a morning or
two since Peter Magnuson
dropped into his store and re-
marked that he had just haul
ed few loads of wheat to a
local buyer and thought it
first rate grain but that the
buyer complained about it and
thought the grain not very
good. Mr.. Magnusen says he
wont trouble those local buy.

To Owners Of Stock.

Among the many, one of the
most prevalent causes of suffer-
ing of horses, and it is intense,
l find, throughout our state, to
be that Of gals, aggravated by
stiff straps and buckles of old
harnesses and the indescribe-
able torture by the saddle to-
gether with the high carnival
of scores of stinging flies and
gnats as they feast upon the
raw parts.
To aid, if possible, in the al
deviation of such, / offer for
those that have charge of, and
owners of stock, the following
fornula,w which is acknowledged
to be "a sure and perfect recipe
for CALLS" Use one part oxide
of zinc to about II or IA parts
vaseline, mix we'll. A little
melted, strained mutton tallow
improves it. Apply this for
gals, sores. and in fact for all
skin diseases of animals.
Meanwhile, of course, rest
from the harness and saddle,
with complete protection from
insects, must be given.

State agent for prevention of
cruelty to animals.

In the Opposition Camp.

Two years ago it was demon
strated beyond all question
that the republican central
committee, while posing as the
friends of morality and the
special champions of the pro-
hibition law, engag, d in un-
lawfully dispen s ng large
quantities of liquor underneath
the Citizens National Bank
and sent it over the country as
medium of encouragement of
republican votes. Yet in the
face of this the republican
ticket as a whole received the
support of many we'll meaning
and honestly inclined friends
of prohibition, who could not
believe that men such as they
were following could be parties
to such transactions. Mr.. Shea
the then chairman has since
publicly proclaimed the truth
of the charges then made.
In the face of the fact that
Sheriff Jones is working the
prohibition law for the fees
accompanying the enforcement
of the prohibition law,it will be
interesting to watch how these
republicans will dispose of
their broken idols. Will they
rise in the strength of a righte-
Gus indignation and condemn
such methods or will they sit
quietly by and allow such flag
rant violations of the law to 90
unrebuked.
1t is interesting to note the
fearless stand taken by The
Gazette in it's exposure of the
gang who has long domineered
the republ cans here an d

A GREAT ENGLISH LIBERALS VIEW OF BRYAN,

Truth, says to-day:
Were an American would vote for Mr. BRYAN in
the coming election | do not believe in bimetasm. bu
regard as proposition having nothing to do with
politics.
Il would vote for Mr.. Bryan because he is more
democratic than his opponent Bryans crusade against
trusts means that he objects to pluocrats ruling the
country in their own interests. His opposition to the
entering on scramble for outside territory is merely
the doctrine which until within few years was held bv
every American. 1t is this doctrine which has made
the United States so prosperous
Capitalists and imperalists are actuated by the
same aim. They want to divert attention from the
maintenance of Democracy at home by Haunting before
their country the glory of an increasing area of empire

best hunting fields.
Never yet has a people or nation benefited by
such acquisitions Imperialism has made the putocrats
our masters for the nonce. They will remain the
masters until imperialism is exploded

it won't stand the strain of military adventure abroad

Since the mental eclipse of
poor Charlie Hoyt, the play
wright that is furnishing the
leading American farces this
season is Mark L. Swan, who
wrote Browns in Town" and
other equally cl lev ver pieces.
His latest and what is consid-
cred his best effort is "Whose
Baby are You?" that will make
its first appearance in this city
shortly.
A play from way down east,
the story told in "Cncle Josh
Spruceby," the scenes of which
are taken from farm life in the
Vermont hills, is charming in
its simplicity and homely hum
or. The characters are n o
overdrawn, but are true to life.
Uncle Josh, the honest old far
mer; Aunt Jerusha, the "just
over Dutchman" and the green
goods" man are some of the
characters introduced. T h e
startling realistic a w mill
scene, the farm yard, husking
bee, and the old fashioned
country dance are scenes which
are introduced. The produc-
ton is handsomely staged, a
f u l l carload of scenery and
mechanical effects being car
ried. Many new specialties
are introduced and a superb
orchestra of 16 soloists are one
of the features.

TO be seen out under double reefed main
sails ana storm jibs, even these having
the greatest difficulty to keep right side
up. Tho wind also put an end to fishing
in the bay, also though one hard LitteIl
angler continued to troll for pickerel
along the far shore where there was some
shelter and picked up three fish in the
course OF The afternoon.

BUILDING OF CHARACTER.
Rev. Gray's Sermon on "'The New
Capitol"

Rev. William Gray, pastor of the Pa
ciGc Congregational church, preached last
evening, taking for his subject The New
Capitol
His text was taken from First Corin-
thians, third verse: know We not that
we are the temple of God?'' He said ia
part:
when we contemplate building we first
select an architect, who furnishes pans
for the structure, We then secure a IA
vorable location for the erection Of the
building. The workmanship and materials
are then secured. Then we begin laying
the foundation, in which we take especial
care. We have a particular purpose in
building, and we are not satisfied until
we have attained. that purpose
I'm life man must first see to the build
ing of his character. He must have a
purpose, in order that he may accomplish
the end he may have in view In this
temporal temple there must be an occu-
pant, either God or the devil
We cannot serve two masters. Ne more
can you have a dual character.
THE man who defaces the new capitol
building is liable to a term in the state
penitenhary. but he who defiles his earth
" temple is liable to an eternal sentence
in the lake which buTneth with fire and
birthstone
