Except in scattered localities. the
weather conditions We're favorable for
securing the bulk of the hay crop In
excellent condition, and all reports
indicate that the quality is superior
to the output OF recent years. The
oats harvest is equally completed ex-
cept in the northern counties, and
threshing from the shock is in pro-
gress. The quality of the grain is up
to the average The wheat harvest is
nearing completion, and numerous re-
ports are received of serious damage
by blight and rust, which will mater
tally lessen the yield and impair the
quality of the grain. The barley crop
is fairly good.
Corn is making very good progress in
all parts of the state. the more adj
vanced portion of the crop being about
normal in size and earring heavily.
The potato crop is doing well. except
in few localities where it is affected
by rot. The apple crop maintains it's
early promise, except where the fruit
has been blown Off by high winds.

The Evils of High Heels.

The evil effects of high heels are set
forth strikingly by Dr.. Grace Pick

STATIONS of the foot photographed

strate very clearly the deformity that
Is caused by high heels-so clearly
that any woman with average common
sense must shun them epermore.
Among other things, DR.. Murray says
'1f the natural position of the foot is
contrasted with that which the high
heel compels the foot to take, it will
be seen how most of the weight comes
on the ball of the foot. The higher
the heel the greater the pressure on
the toes and the joints. It is so great
that it turns the joints out OF position.
It is in this way that bunions are
formed from wearing high heels.
Also, the weight being transferred far
forward to the ball of the foot, the
whole equilibrium of the body is
changed, and it can be seen how head
aches are occasioned by this, as we'll
as eye-strain, spinal weakness, ard
disturbance of the internal organs. "

Peoples Party National Platform
Adopted at Springfield, ILL.,, July 4, 1904.

The peoples party reafir1ns it's adherence
to the basic truths Of the Omaha platform
1896 and 1900. In session in it's fourth
ma tional convention on July +, 1904, in the
city OF Springfield, ILL.,, it draws inspiration
from the day that saw the birth of the. ma
ton as we'll as it's own birth as party, and
also from the soul Of him who lived at it's
present place of meeting, We renew our
spirit that gave this nation existence, and
made it distinctive among the peoples OF the
earth. We again sound the keynote of the
Declaration Of independence that all men are
the sense in which that instrument being
political document intended that the utter
the departure from this fundamental truth
is responsible for the ills from which we
suffer as nation, that the giving OF special
privileges to the few has enabled them to
dominate the many, thereby tending to de-
stroy the political equality which is the
cornerstone OF democratic government.
we vigorously protest against the spirit Of
MANN onism and of thinly yelled monarchy,
that is invading certain sections Of our
national life, and of the administration it.
self. This is nation of peace, and we de-
pore the appeal to the spirit of force and
militarism which is shown in i'll advised and
ways in the denial of the rights OF man un-
der martial law.
\ political democracy and an industrial
despotism cannot exist side by side; and
nowhere is this truth more plainly shown
than in the gigantic transportation monop-
olies which have bred all sorts of kindred
trusts subverted the government OF many
of the states, and established their official
agents in the national government We SUBJ
nit that it is better for the government to
own the railroads than for the railroads to
own the government, and that one or the
others alternative seems inevitable.
We call the attention of our fellow citizens
to the fact that the surrender of both Of the
old parties to cooperative influences leaves
the Peoples party the only party of reform
in the nation.
Therefore we submit the following plat
form of principles to the American people:
Money and Banks.
The issuing OF money is function Of govern
nent and should never be delegated to cor
poratiOns or individuals. The constitution
gives to congress alone, power to issue
money and regulate it's value.
We therefore demand that all money shall
be issued by the government in such quantity
as shall maintain stability in prices, every
dollar to be full legal tender, none Of which
shall be debt redeemable in other money.
Savings Banks.
We demand that Postal Savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the savings Of the people.
Labor.
We believe in the right of labor to organize
for the benefit and protection of those who

and yet, while it is plain as day that
the Parker boom finds its source in

Editor CovelI's Accident.

The following account OF the acct
dent which befell Bro. Covell of the
Atwater Republican Press is taken
from his paper published last Friday:
A we'll nigh fatal accident overlook
the editor of this paper, Mr.. T.. E
Covell, Monday afternoon about s
O'Clock. Mr.. Covell had gone to the
lumber Office of L. N. Larson & Son
on some business errand, and on the
way back passed near the new we'll
being made by the Great Northern
Railway Co.
The working crew at this we'll were
just then engaged in hosting q 500
pound pump to the surface by means
of derrick. MIR. Covell paused q
moment to watch the operation, stand.
ing b. side foreman Johnson, and
quicker than can be related, and
without a moments warning, one Of
the supports of the derrick broke and
the main beam, drawn down by its
quarter ton load, fell sideways and
down, and in so doing caught Mr..
Covell and crushed him to the ground
It all happened so quickly that the
Injured man at this writing has not
very clear idea of where it first
struck him, but scratches on his face
and severe bruise on his right
shoulder would indicate that it frs t
struck him in the head and shoulder
bearing him to the ground and then
falling somewhat dtagonally over his
legs above the knees. Both limbs
we're broken, one about three inches
and the other about six inches above
the knee.
The injured man was at once ex-
tricated from, the perilous position in
which he lay and borne to his home.
DR.. Gibson was summoned as was
also DR.. Frost from Willmar. Mr..
Covell was made as comfortable as
possible and the fracture reduced.
On Wednesday the injured limbs
were put into plaster cast and Mr.
Covell is now doing as we'll as could
be expected when one considers the
fearful nature of the injuries sus-
tanned. To fracture one leg is in it.
self most serious misfortune, but in
breaking both the misfortune becomes
tremendously worse. It means to
Mr.. COvell q long siege of illness, but
his friends know that he will bear the
same with fortitude and patience.
Had the heavy derrick ia len on his
head or chest the result would doubt
less have been fatal. Thus, while
Mr.. Covell's relatives and friends
stand aghast at the terrible affection
that has befallen him, they also real
ze that it might have been worse, and
rejoice that under the circumstances
his life was spared.
