County Commissioners Nash and
Sweet say an attempt was made to
bride them, though unsuccessful, dur
ing the late contest for sheriff. This
occurred when it became necessary for
the commissioners to select person
to fill the unexpired term of NIegaar-
den, removed. The grand old party
is making a record for itself in uenne-
pin, so it is.
Minneapolis is receiving considerable
advertising just now OF a somewhat
uncomplimentary nature, to say the
least. How much the present city ad-
ministration is to blame for this will be
better known later OH when the re-
turns are all in. The extensive opera
tons of pickpockets and 'big mitt''
men, whereby many from the outside
have been feeced while visiting here,
has caused bad impression, and the
trial now going on, with Billy Ed
wards as star performer, is a proof OF
the corrupt condition of things.
]. 3. Mooney, of Grand Forks, secre-
tary of the North Dakota Democratic
state committee, who was i'll the city
recently, is of the opinion that w. e.
Purcell, of Wahpeton, will be the next
Democratic candidate for governor.
Mr.. Purcell would certainly make an
admirable candidate. Popular with
the masses, his election could easily
be counted amongst the possibilities.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, adj
dressed an audience of over 5000 peo-
pie at the Auditorium, Chicago, last
Tuesday evening. 1t was the largest
demonstration Of the kind ever held in
that city and was called for the pur-
pose Of protesting against the coercion
laws now in force in Ireland. 1t was
wonderful outpouring of people en-
thusiastic and in thorough sympathy
with the eloquent speaker. Mr.. Cock
ran closed in these words: IF the
American people, i'll their right. shall
rise up and say the Irish cause is just,
Ireland will be restored. AS Aneri-
cans we cannot but believe that Provi
dence has intended that the American
people shall be the instrument through
which justice shall be accomplished
that it's principles of right and justice
may be acknowledged throughout the
world"

LII lCllSI Oll OISstllllZttllOll, IcCSHl-
ly written for the Red Wing Argus by
Chairman L. A. ROSing, he has this to
say: Your state committee has
recommended plan, i'll which heart
lily concur, for getting the opinion Of
the party before the primaries. In ev-
cry precinct where as many as three
Democrats can be found there should
be precinct club, to include, if pos
sible, every Democrat in the precinct.
These precinct clubs should elect dele
gate members to county central club
or league. That would be repre-
sentative body, as the conventions
We're. 1t would have a right to speak
as many as might be necessary to
canvass the situation and determine
what is the strongest ticket, in the
opinion of the central league, that the
party could name in that county. Ii
there was some office for which there
was no candidate, the league would
SlcClNtC VII WIN W
make the run, and urge him to be Il
candidate, assuring him of the sup
port of the club. The league would
then report back to the precinct or
CARNATIONS it's recommendations and
it's reasons for them. Then when the
voters went into the primaries they
would be choosing intelligently. They
would not be bound to follow the
recommendations. II they thought the
league was governed by a clique
though that would be improbable
when the league was made up of dele
gates from the precincts-they could
throw them overheard. But they
would not be voting in the dark, as
they must if there is large field and
nothing has been done to shape the
canvass"

The Highlandville Farmers Tele-

membership of between go and 10.
They are to have central or switch

two lines coming from the north and
two from the south, besides the Satire
Farmers Telephone Company which
is going to run wire to Highland.
vile from the south; the Highland.
vile company's aim is to be connect
ed with other farmers lines, event.
ually connecting with Quandahl,
Spring Grove, Locust, Mabel and De.
corah. With Quandahl and Spring
Grove they will be connected at once
or as soon as the line can be built.
The Highlandville Farmers Tele-
phone Company was the first to or
ganize east of Locust, and seems to
have a splendid organization with the
following officers: A. +. Thune,
President l.. G.. Saxvick, Secretary
Henry Olson, Treasurer, who are all
hustlers and have good business ability
If they build into Mabel and DEBORAH
they will run long distance business
wire from their central to all the
larger towns, and surely there will
be several more lines that will run
into Highlandville before long.
Highlandville is getting to be quite
business place as there are three
stores, two farm machinery dealers,
one doctor, one blacksmith shop, one
carpenter shop with about halt
dozen carpenters in the neighborhood,
one creamery, two feed mills, one saw
mill, one hotel, and there is a pros
pect for butcher shop and hall by

bonus. Now don't be bashful, il

March, 81, 1902
President Larson has been troubled
with bad cold for some time. We
hope it is only temporary, and that
nothing serious will result, and that
he may be able to continue his work
without interruption.
Spring is welcome guest to every
body, and to the college boys in par
ticular.
AS soon as study hours are over,
they are at once seen out on the cam
pus, where they keep the base balls
and tennis balls in continual motion.
This interest may be thought in
furious to a successful college educa-
ton, but exercise is necessary to keep
the body in a healthy condition, and
thus make the mind more vigorous and
active in accommodating knowledge.
Schoolwork has again commenced,
after short Easter vacation. Many
of the boys spent their vacation with
relatives and friends in the vicinity
of DEBORAH, and all of them reported
royal entertainment. The hospitality
of the Winnesheik county people is
well known, and the college boys
feel very thankful for the good will
shown them.
F. w. Haase has been kind enough
to introduce new game to the tennis
cranks. This is tether-ball 1t affords
the players good healthy exercise, and
considerable skill is required to be-
come a successful player. Mr. Haase
is a great athletic enthusiast, and all
thanks are due him for his interest in
the boys
The town base ball team has already
played a couple of games for practice
with our team, and both teams put up
strong games. We have every reason
to believe that this years team will
easily come up to the standard. The
candidates are all snappyplayers, and
hard work daily is essential for those
who wish position on the team
This, together with the training they
receive from the town team, will
make them we'll prepared for the first
game, which will be had with Upper
Iowa University OH the home grounds,
April 2lst
The Musical Union will give con-
cert in the Grand Opera House, Fri
day evening, April 4th. The program
to be presented has been carefully pre-
pared, and well worked up. 1t will,
perhaps, be one of the best concerts
ever presented by this organization,
and the music-loving people of Deco
rah and vicinity ought to take advan-
tage of the opportunity.

Around the Pan.

The reader may make up his
mind to be pleasantly overwhelmed
by the opulenoe and vivacity Of
"Around the Pan" published by
the Nutshell Publishing company,
1853 Third avenue, New York.
The wonders begin with the
frontispiece picture of President
Mckinley, drawn in single line
beginning att point on the cheek
bone and going round and round
in constantly widening circle,
with waverings and down bearsings
of the pen in proper places to
secure detachment and shading.
We are told that this portrait is
considered the most unique work
of its kind in the world. and if
there are degrees of uniqueness we
are willing to believe that this is
most the thing of which there are
no duplicates OF course there is
text in addition to the pictures.
and we should be surprise indeed
to hear from any purchaser the
opinion that he had not got his
moneys worth 5000.

the SUGAR TARIFF.

The sugar trust, through its
agents, the United States Export
Association, are flooding the coun-
try with circulars on "The Tariff
on Cuban Products" The state
nent was made by Mr.. Thurber,
president of the Export associa-
tion, before the Ways and Means
com mittee of the house of repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Thurber said:
-'During the past year l have
occasion to make special study
of the tariff relations between
Cuba and the United States; with
the result of arriving at the belief
that the greatest good to the great
est number of people of both
countries will be subserved by
placing Cuba, 80 far as our tariff
relations are concerned, as nearly
as, posi- BILE on the same basis as
Porto Rico and Hawaii; and the
same be said of the Philippine
islands, uF coo g g
Mr.. Thurber goes on to state
that he is republican and pro-
tectionist, but under present con-
ditions there should be limit to
the protection extended The gen
tleman has 80 far forgotten his
former faith that he suggests free
raw sugar and one half the present
duties on tobacco and cigars
When the sugar trust had no
competition in the market they
ware not interested in Cuban
reciprocity like they are at the
present day. With beet sugar in
dustry of the West 30 successful
and growing 80 rapidly, it causes
the trust to change "about face"
and try to help out our poor Cuban
friends.
1t is more than likely the reduc-
tions in the Cuban tariff 80 eagerly
desired by the sugar trust will be
granted, as it is understood that
the president has fallen in with the
belief that slight reduction will
benefit the Cubans great deal
aud do no harm to the people of
tho United States.

Acting President Schalkburger.
PRETORIA, April Accommodations
have passed between President Steyn and
the Transvaal mission at Kroonstadt, but
nothing of the result is yet known. The
majority Of the military men and civilians
here expect more from the continual pres
sure Of the troops than from the present
negotiations. It is pointed out that once
before, when hard pressed, the Transvaalers
showed a desire for peace, but this was
promptly overridden by President Steyn.
Nothing in the present situation, so far as
known, indicates that President Steyn Is
less irreconciliable than previously. In
deed, the known facts seem to point to a
greater determination to continue the
struggle.
