The confidence that the Supreme court would
fuse jurisdiction in Minnesota's suit against the
Northern Securities company, which las been
firmly held in Wall street, for three weeks, was
unmpaired this morning and the traders did
some of their buying ON that basis. The

attract any outside demand and the effort Of the
traders TO take their profits caused reaction in
that market and an easy closing, The protes-
sionals who were on the bull side today

To Those in Arrears.

On account of the crop failure
last year many of our subscribers
were unable to pay us what they
owed on the paper and we carried
them over to the present year.
Realizing the general depression we
did this cheerfully, without cutting
off a single name, or even sending
ont statements. In order to do this
!. we of course incurred a heavy eX-
pense, to offset which it is necessary
at this season to collect every cent
W epossibly can.
Many friends of the paper, appre-
; ciating the indulgence granted them,
have come forward and paid their
last wears account as well as this
years, some of them paving up to
1904. Still there are, out OF the
HOO subscribers on our books, about
800 who vet are in arrears for a year
or more. A dollar here and there
means but little TO the individual
subscriber, but to us it means u clear
loss Of $500 or more.
The farmers of our county have
been abundantly blessed this year
with good crops of every kind and
We do not believe there is a single
person on Ii books who cOnld not
pay what he owes if he would make
an effort to do so. There is very
little excuse for any ones not pay
ing out this year, but if We have a
subscriber who is really unable to
to pay what he owes, if he will
frankly state the same to us, we will
give him a receipt il full for MS
account.
AS usual we Shall on January
revise our list and out off every sub
scriber who is in arrears for a year OF
longer. We give this notice III
ample time, and as we desire tc
treat all alike, nc n should be
offended when We discontinue his
paper in January. Meantime we
hope that We shall have o response
from every delinquent between now
and the new year and not have tc
discontinue "a single copy OF the
paper.
