Dear Sir: I will inform your management
that J. C. Hanley does not represent the
farmers of the state of Minnesota. and you.

G. H. HOPKINS.
vice-President Farmers Alliance.
The above correspondence tells its
own story Mr.. Hopkins has expressed
the sentiments of 80 of every 100 of our
subscribers.
F. E. Murphy, Of the Tribune, is send
ing this circular letter to the old sub.
scribers Of the Representative. He
hopes to get subscribers from our list
AS star attraction he promises in each
issue two columns of what Mr.. Thorp
of Ada, calls u. c. Hanley's illiterate
,gush." (Read Mr.. Thorp's letter in an
other column.) We predict that inside
of 80 days the Tribune will be hunting
for some other star. We tried this Han
ley star business once to build up our
circulation. 1t builded the wrong way.
Our experience publishing Hanley's vo-
luminous epistles to the farmers cost us
the loss first and last of over 5000 SUBJ
scribers.
Honest farmers, regardless of politics,
put very little confidence In any man
who processes to be the FARMERS
friend" and banQuets the corn kings
and wheat gamblers Of Chicago. They
want to see his professions dovetail
with his works
Every farmer who receives this cir
cular letter should take the time to
fire at the Tribune as hot stuff as Mr..
Hopkins has done. Roast the partici-
pants in such unholy deals, and some
of this imposition everywhere practiced
upon the farmer will be cut OF.
1t seems that ]. C. Hanley has ar
ranged with the Farmers Tribune to
have that paper pose as the official organ
OF the farmers. The Tribune is known
to favor the ship subsidy and at the
next session Of congress both Hanley and
the Tribune will be found claiming to
represent the farmers of Minnesota. If
you stand for the Tribune,s policies and
for Hanley's subsidy schemes their is
nothing to be said by you. If you are
opposed do not hesitate to write the
Tribune what so many times you have
written us: "Chop OF Hanley or chop
my name from your list Our letter
files are full of such expressions.

E. A. Turitchell, Editor Representatives:
Dear Sir: Some time last January
1 renewed my subscription to the
Representative, believing that you like
your illustrious' predecessor had done
with such imposters as J. c. Hanley.
The manner in which he was served
up by L. G. thong. III. v. Poore, Mr..
Powell, Mr.. Parks and others was well
worth a yeass subscription. At one
time we had one of the largest farm
ers alliance organizations in the state
here at Ada.
In 1896, So farmers took the Repre-
sentative from this post office, but when
the Representative in 1896-97 began to
publish from two to four columns
weekly Of that illiterate gush from the
pen of j. G. Hanley. most of your sub
subscribers here took to the woods and
stopped the Representative.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES,

Rev E. M. Chapman of St Johns- bury, Vt., preached two excellent ser mons, last Sunday, and considering how many of the people are away from home, he had large audiences to hear him. It is very much to be hoped that he may be heard here again. Another very delightful feature of the morning service was duet sung by John T. Treadwell and his eldest son, which was greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. Rev Evan Evans of Bridgeport will preach next Sunday morning.
 John R. Way of Danbury, a brother of Merchant Charles Way of Railroad street, remains in about the same con- dition. He is confined to his bed. Henry G. Botsford is now engaged in moving the chapel building from the old Rectory school grounds to the rear of the Wayside Inn, where it is to be fitted up for quarters for the help. On Monday the building was moved about 1000 feet on the level stretch along by the Green. It attract ed a considerable attention. The chapel was originally moved to New Milford from Hamden, being taken apart and shipped in sections by Rev MT Everest, who was then at the head of the school.
 Charles Lake has the contract for

 If the weather is stormy on Tuesday the bell will ring as a signal that the picnic is to be postponed to the next day. Extensive preparations are being made for the dinner. The price for the dinner will be 25c. The children of the town, 12 or under, need not pay.
 The conference on Wednesday on "Rural conditions" promises to be very interesting. While designed to be somewhat informal in character. all interested in rural conditions, includ- ing those active in Oranges, wOman's cubs, the public schools and the churches, will fndit the meeting of great value. Among the subjects discussed will be Rural Schools" opened by Miss.C. E. Brush and ''The opportunity of the country minister" by Rev F. J.. Grant. The sessions will begin at 1O.3O a. m. and p. m.

CONGREGATIONALC CHURCH INTERESTS.
 Rev MT Carter gave very thought full sermon on "Faith," Heb. II: 6, "Without faith it is impossible to please GOd.'' Faith is the main spring of all human action, the parent of all discoveries and inventions, the basis of social, commercial and politi- cal order. He who acts from suspi- cious, doubling and mistrustful mo- tives is an enemy and displeasing to his fellow men and to God. It may be mistaken, but an erroneous faith will lead to truth quicker than sOul-dead- ening doubt. Therefore let us have faith in our fellowmen, for he who doeth good is of God.
 The contribution taken in the Con gregational church for Hampton in- Stitute amounted to $345.44. The amount for the American Missionary

 A GOOD JOKE ON A LOYAL BACHELOR.
 They are telling a good joke on a genial and popular bachelor in ROx- bury, whose friends are legion through out the county. It seems he was about some of the boys hearing of it thought they would help him out. So secretly visiting his barn they reversed the wheels on his carriage, putting the rear wheels in front. The bachelor sent a boy to hitch up and invited a lady friend to go with him. He did not notice the change and drove up in front of the store in fine spirits. Hadn't you better have your wagon oiled?" suggested his merchant friend with smile. "No," Charlie thought it was all right and he drove away. When he came to go up hill he thought the carriage acted peculiarly but he kept on. But when he came to the second steep pitch he got out and investigated. The result was that friend he stopped and borrowed a wagon jack, and after much labor made the change. The next time he will examine his wagon closely before start. ing away on pleasure trip. But per. haps the boys didn't laugh!
