StearRs and Benton Farmers to Organize.
It has been decided to hold in the
court house, this city, on January 3Oth
big mass meeting of the farmers of
Stearns and Benton counties. The
sessions will be held under the aus
pices of the Minnesota Farmers Ex-
change and will be for the purpose of
thoroughly organizing the farmers
of the two counties named into county
exchanges. Hon. 81. G. Block, of
Stearns, and J. J. McGregor, of Ben
ton county, are the committee on ar
rangements and are invoking interest
in the scheme which it is intended in
the end shall bring great benefit and
advantage to the farmers. J. S. Nc
Donald, of Rush City, Minnesota, Sec
rotary of the Minnesota Farmers Ex-
change is to be present and assist in
the organization.
This meeting is in line with the one
held here in November which was pre-
liminary and for the purpose of get
ting the sentiment. It is urged that
no one interested who can possibly be
present should fail in attending the
meeting of Jan. Both, which is to be
called at II a. m. Delegates will also
be named at that time to attend the

country are anxious to see him renom-
mated. AS the average Republican
voter takes little interest in the pri-
maries there is slight possibility
that the enemies of Roosevelt may be
successful at the national Republican
convention.
In this connection it is we'll to re-
member an incident in the campaign
twelve years ago. In 1892 the late
James G. Blaine was the popular
choice, while the leading politicians
throughout the country favored the
denomination of Benjamin Harrison.
At the national convention in Mime
polls, the spectators would make the
old exposition building ring with ire
mendous applause every time the name
of James G.. Blaine was mentioned.
At the time of one of these outbursts,
Chauncey Depew of New York, an ar
dent Harrison man, shook his fist at
the galleries and explained. sn"You
people can cheer but you can't vote. "
A voice from the galleries replied,
"We can't vote now but we will vote
in November" Harrison was renom-
mated, but at the polls in November
the Republican party met disastrous
defeat.
History may repeat itself. If the
enemies of Roosevelt are victorious
in the Republican national convention,
the Republicans may we'll tremble for
the results in November. Detroit

IOWA LIQUOR LAW VOID.
Federal Court Declares Prohibition NJ


Federal Court Declares Prohibition Meas
Unconstitutional.
A Des Moines (Iowa) dispatch says:
THE Prohibition liquor law which
was adopted as a compromise measure
after the Republican party had lost
two administrations, owing to the pro-
hibitory law, is alleged to be uncon-
stitutional. Judge MCPHERSON of the
federal court in Southern Iowa sitting
at Council Bluffs, has granted tenn
porary injunction against an attorney
and landlord who were prosecutiong
the Grand hotel at Council Bluffs for
violating the mulct law. The ground
upon which the injunction was asked
was that the law violates the four
teenth amendment, which guarantees
equal privileges to all and that no
property can be taken without due
process of law.
The mulct law and prohibitory law
of which it is part provides that any
person, regardless of his responsible
ity, may inaugurate the prosecution
and that in case of a conviction a lien
may be had against the property of
the defendant to guarantee that the
costs and attorneys fees for the in
formation and prosecution attorney
shall be paid. In case of non-con-
viction, costs and attorneys fees are
unpaid. The former feature, it is al
legged, forces defendant to incur ex-
pense and thereby suffer property
loss, frequently to merely crafty a
deisre for malice on the part of some
irresponsible prosecutor or Informant
who in many cases seeks to effect a
cash compromise and dismiss the suit
the latter feature relative to the pay
ment of costs in case of conviction
only is alleged not to be due process
of law.
Judge McPherson's temporary in
junction indicating that he regards the
point raised as sufficiently meritorious
to warrant further consideration has
caused a sensation throughout the
state.

NEW VARIETY OF POTATO.
Propagated In England and Selling at
Fabulous Prices.

PrOpagated In England and Selling at
Fabulous Prices
A new variety of potato has just
been discovered in England that by it's
absolute immunity from all kinds of
disease, it's great size and productive
ness has started the widest specula-
tion and commanded fabulous price.
This is what the dispatches say about
this wonderful potato:
SAT the Smithfeld cattle show four
pounds of EldOrado potatoes were sold
for S., 5000, this being at the rate of
1,5O0,0OO per ton. The grower of this
remarkable variety of tubers had re-
fused an offer of $3.50 for single
potato.
During Christmas week this variety
advanced from $500 per pound to $3.50
per pound, and there were more buy
ers than could be supplied. One firm
sold to a German house seventy five
tons of Northern Stars for 81 500, and
for next year the same firm are offer
ing a variety at $3.50 per pound.
The drop in price was due to the fact
that it was supposed this variety would
be largely cultivated, but the prices
Indicate that the demand has not been
supplied or even anticipated.
The explanation of this extraor-
binary boom in potatoes is that the
''Eldorado" variety has proved able
to withstand the disease which was so
disastrous to the crop in Ireland the
last year. It is said that the life of
q potato is about twelve years. Dur
ing this period it is constantly de-
teriorating in quality. The potato
that has been the successful crop here
for years, and which has supplied the
millions, failed last year and results
show it has about lived it's life.
The fact that the new variety has
proved it's disease-resisting powers
the past year has caused the mad rush
for it. A single specimen of this var
iety weighed nine pounds, two ounces. :"

raised in Wall Street for the purpose
of defeating the denomination of
Theodore Roosevelt. We do not know
whether this story is based upon facts
or whether it is simply the fruit of the

true that there are certain powerful

Minnesota Wagons for Russia.

Blunt, hustling Henry Kellar has
broken the trade barriers of the star
east' and ''got next'' the Russian
government. Mr.. Kellar has been
manufacturing wagons over in Sank
Centre for several years and with
great success. He makes a wagon we'll
adapted to use in sandy countries,
and for that matter anywhere. The
Sank Centre Avalanche says: "On
Tuesday of this week the Keller Man
ufacturing company shipped the first
carload of an order for 1000 Keller
wagons to the Russian government to
be used in transport service. The
goods were sent from here to Omaha
via the Willmar route, and from there
will be shipped with other supplies
across the waters. Mr.. Keller informs
US that three cars will be shipped each
week until the order is completed. The
wagons are of the three-inch tire pat
tern and are guaranteed to withstand
weight of five tons.
TO furnish 1000 wagons ''while you
wait" is no small task for even the
extensive Keller concern, but Mr..
Keller informs us that if a shortage of
conveyances is preventing that Rus
sian-Japanese war he will see that the
belligerents soon get busy. Now, if

DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLERS

VIM. Ross, Formerly of Mile Laos Lake
Passes Away at Home of Son Near
Nichols.
The following obituary of William
Ross, was sent to the q nj O by Rev.
W. A. Parkinson, pastor of the M. E..
church at Deerwood, and formerly
pastor of the Greenbush, Blue Hill,
Santiago circuit. The death of Mr..
Ross occurred month ago, but the
obituary notice may be of some inter-
est to those who knew deceased and
members of his family:
"The subject of this brief memoir
was born September 9Th and baptised
September 18th at Ballyconnel parish
of Torregan, Cavarn, Ireland, in the
year 1924, and died at the home of his
son, Matthew Ross, one mile from
Nichols P. O., township of Cutler,
Aitkin county, Minnesota, on Thurs
day, Dec. oath, 1908.
"Coming to America he settled in
eastern Canada not far from the pres
ent city OF Ottawa. While residing
there he was a consistent member of
the Loyal Orange Lodge, in which
order he obtained four degrees.
ION July 18th, 1850, he married
Sarah Hakwskan. To them were born
ten children, six of whom are living.
They are Mrs. Vim. Ross of Lake Ben
ton, Mimi, George Ross of Portal, N.
D., David Ross of Foreston, Mimi,
John Ross of Park Rapids, Mimi,
Thomas Ross of Bemidji, Mimi, and
Matthew Ross of Nichols P. O., Mimi,
with whom he spent the last four years
of his life.
In 1852, Mr.. Ross moved with his
family to Tennessee where he lived
four years. From there he moved
back to Canada on account of poor
health, remaining there for more than
twenty years.
In 1896 he emigrated to Lake Ben
ton, Lincoln county, Mimi, residing
there for sixteen years. The year. 1891
saw his removal to Mile Laos county
on the west shore of Mile Laos lake
where he lived twelve years.
"Mr. Ross was considered wealthy
at three different periods of his life.
During his declining years he trans
ferred his property to his youngest
son, Matthew Ross, at whose home he
spent the last years of his life.
"It might be said of the departed
that he was not only loving husband
and father but also a kind and oblig-
ing neighbor.
"a few weeks before his death he
was seized with paralysis but endured
his suffering with christian fortitude.
The writer visited him in his sickness
and found him trusting peacefully in
his Saviour. On Saturday, December
Goth, this aged pilgrim was laid to
rest in the joyful hope of glorious
resurrection

REMINGTON AND THE CAMERA
The art of Frederick Remington, whose
pictures of frontier life have for years been
regarded with universal appreciation. has
found a new means of expression, resulting
in d most remarkable set of photographs.
Some time ago Mr.. Remington wrote a
number of stories of the far west. under
the title of John Ermine of the Yellow
stone" They were vigorous in their
treatment is his work in line and color
and Immediately attracted the attention Of
the playwriters. The result is the new
drama ION the Yellowstone" which will
be seen at the Lafayette Opera House for
a week commencing Monday afternoon. i'll
which Howard Kyle is seen the star.
Mr.. Remington has taken an active part
In the preparation of his work for the
stage. Each scene in the play has been
made from plans and sketches made es-
pecally by that artist. while every char
acter in the drama has been modelled with
the greatest care upon lines laid down by
Mr.. Remington. The result is a series of
Remington pictures of the west, in which
the figures real men and women.
This is the first time in the history of the
American stage a painters work has been
literally transferred to the footlights. The
result is very startling. The groups and
single figures. to all intentS and purposes
present a series of new Remington pictures,
and such are none the less interesting.
from the fact that the figures are those of
living men and women who have cleverly
simulated the effects usually obtained by
the artists technical skill In the picture
reproduced from the poses made under Mr..
Remingtons direction, the complacent
comfort of both face and figure of the
major in the army about to take his much
desired drink is wonderfully shown.
Mr.. Remington, when he had seen the
fash-light photographs of scenes which on
the stage We're perfect eounterfets of his
own work, but which because of the glar-
ing light became mere every day scenes,
suggested that he take the men and
women employed in the Interpretation of
his play and pose them singly and in
smaller groups before the camera in day
light This was done with really wonder
full results. Later in the season when the
far west is reached and that wonderful
high light of the plains is found, the eX-
pertinent is 20 be tried again. This time out
of doors, instead of in the photographers
studio.
