purpose i'm combating the sbrute force Of
her assailant
She fought with almost superhuman
strength in defense OF her unsullied wom-
anhood. The mans face was clawed and
turn left his victims face criss-crossed
with ugly iinger-nail wounds. and in the
struggle dashed her against bookcase,
inhicting painful bruises
AT this point of the encounter the vic
tim swooned and became unconscious,
but for how long time She is unable TO
say. She is certain. however. that she
was successful in thwarting her assai-
ant. The villain cut the splendid suit of
hair from his victims head and left it
lying ON the floor. Upon recovering con
sciOusness the young woman made her

son was there a colored farmland saw
her and hurried TO Chestertown and noti-

| When the young woman went To the

In carriage near the house. This man
she cannot describe. She could not say
whether he was white or black, but she
could positively identity her assailant,
She thinks that he was at Mr. Eliason's
house last winter. The supposition by
Mr.. Elason is that the man looted the

making the assault. The young lady is
sure that she left the mans face badly
marked by her finger nails.
She has no idea as to when the ran.

What It Might "Dare.'

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please decide the following: Jones
bets Brown that railway company
dare not charge more for freight ship
ment from Chicago to Minneapolis
than from Chicago to St. Paul.
MERCHANT.
In this communication the words
'dare not' are heavily underscored,
which somewhat complexities the ques-
ton. If it hsd been simply asked
whether q railroad could legally
charge more for hauling to Minneapo-
lis from Chicago than to St. Paul, the
answer would have promptly been:
No, it could not. But the question is
asked whether the company dare" to
charge more. Railroads dare to do
many things that are legally wrong
and are constantly in the courts for
so daring. A Chicago-St. Paul line
might quote two shippers, one in St.
Paul and one in Minneapolis, the
same rate on q car of similar mer.
chandise and then secretly give one or
the other shipper a rebate. This
would be illegal, but the company
might "dare" to do it. Doubtless
such is done very frequently. Rebates
and concessions are not new to the
economy railroading and the most
drastic legislation has been powerless
to entirely prevent.-St. Paul Dis
patch.
Government ownership is the only
means of stopping illegal discrimina.
lions by railroads in favor of par.
ticular places or shippers.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-07-23

ocrats will be invited to come in and
help on patriotic grounds, but the
measure will be presented and con-
tro'led on the republican side of both
houses, and enough votes are believed
to be assured to pass it.-Ortonville
Herald Star.
Is that SO? What assurance has
Bro. Whiteman for making this posi-
tive statement? If the republican
party really had the least idea OF
passing any antitrust legislation,
why did it not do so at the long ses-
sion preceding an election? 1t might
at least have introduced bill in that
direction, 80 we could have some idea
of what they would do. Are the re
publican leaders SO used to fooline
the people that they believe they car
hoodwink them with such promises
made by irresponsible parties, with
out the least backing from any of the
leaders? A party out of power must
of necessity be content to make prom
ises and appeal to the people on tina
basis; the party in power must poin
to it's deeds, and if it has neglected tt
pass a certain kind of legislation dur
ing an uninterrupted regime of 81,
years it is a little too presumptuous
to ask people to believe it will do i
! after the election.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-07-23

That is worth great deal in a cam
paign.
We may not succeed in winning the
election, but we can roll up a vote
that will astonish the opposition and
encourage the doubling ones to come
to US in the next campaign. We can
elect respectable minority of the
legislature. If the populists of every
legislative district will look to getting
their best and strongest men into the
race for the legislature we can get q
delegation there that will be a power
full factor In directing legislation.
They can there by their actions and
the measures they will champion build
platform that will be more potent
than one made up in hurry at con-
vention. They can force the repub.
licans and democrats to go on record
on every important question of state
legislation. That will furnish the
best kind of campaign material for the
campaign OF l9O4.
You will hear a great cutlery made
about men leaving the peoples party.
Don't get excited oyer it. It is most
ly case of ''lots of cry and very
little WOOL" In this county we have
been told that the party is rapidly
falling to pieces. The opposition pa
per has to date found five men who
have announced their apostacy. Two
are republican ofhceholders, one vain
ly tried to get nomination from the
peoples party two years ago, one is a
perennial, everblooming candidate for
Office, and one confesses that he never
was populist anyway. This repre-
sents loss of one out of every three
hundred voters that cast their ballot
for the peoples party ticket in 1894.
The proportion will probably hold
good in other parts of the state. The
populists who left the party during
the fusion period, and who are now
returning are not making so much
noise, but their votes will astonish
the old party politicians.
best Of reasons for hoping to see our
party re-habilitated and getting to the
front: If you all do your duty we
can regain the lost ground and get a
good vantage ground for the political
battles of the future.-MinnesO ta For.

The republican party declares in
favor of reciprocity $50 far as it can
be done without injury to our home
industries" which means we can have
no reciprocity at all. There is not a
single protected industry that will not
cry out that it will be injured if the
tariff on it's products is lowered by
reciprocity. That this is the under.
standing Of this plank is proved by
the fact that the senate has chung up
every reciprocity treaty submitted tc
it. Republican reciprocity is q mean
ingless word, used only to fool the
people.
