The good people of Edmore and
vicinity should not take Milf C1a1y
toe seriously. Time will demo nstrate
to them that Miit is political buc-
caneer-ignorant and unscrupulo us.
He has lived in Ramsey county for a
number of years and regularly every
two years he has bobbed up for some
cffice for which he is totally untitled
to fill and as regularly turned down
by the best citizens of the county.
Milt was run out Of Crary because
the people: there would not tolerate
his Dulldozing tactics, and. it is only
g question of time when al like fate
will befall him at Edmore. Given
aneopportunity, and like hog swim.
ming up stream, he will cut his own
throat. If the citizens Of Edmore
knew this political mountebank as
we'll as the people do in the older
settled portions of the county, the
Inter Ocean would not be justified in
paying attention to his rawlings.
What we have said is for the purpose
of placing this fellow before the new
Corners in his true light, and not for
the purpose of reforming Milt-he is
beyond redemption. --~

THE RESERVATION OPENING.

= J. = - :
The people of this section Of the
northwest will hail with joy the
opening of the Devils Lake Indian
reservation, which is now an assured
fact. The bill has passed both
branches of congress, and al that
will remain is for the preliminary ar
rangements to be completed when the
president will issue his proclamation
fixins the daJe of the opening. At
this time it is difficult to tell just
how soon the survey, etc., will be
ready, but it is an assured eel tainty
that the opening will take place not
later than next fall, and possibly
during the coming summer. The
land embraced in the reservation is
of the very choicest. having been Sc
lected in the early days before there
was any settlement west of the Red
River, and will be readily taken up.
The settlers on this land will not have
t. endure the hardships of the pioneer
for there are nearby markets, rail
roads ana all the benefits of an old
land we'll settled country surrounding
it on all sides. This will naturally
attract the best class of people
which means great deal.

MARSTON'S nETHOD
OF Eradicating the Boil Weevil-

Baton Rouge Times.
The Austin, Texas, statesman
says, referring to Captain Mars
toms boil weevil experiments;
He believes that he has hit upon
a remedy which if properly and
promptly applied will save the
cotton crop in Texas this season.
For two weeks past he has been
experimenting at LAGRANGE and
LOckhart, and all of his expert
ments have been successful. He
came here from LOckhart and
after his business is transacted
in Austin he will return to Lock-
hart to make that place his head
quarters until the close of the
cotton season. To use Mr.. Mars.
tons words: Il have come to
make a fight on the boil weevil,
and expect to stay on the battle
field in Texas until the finish"
His remedy to save the crop is to
sprinkle dry paris green on the
young and volunteer cotton.
The cost will be only 10 cents an
acre. Mr.. MarstOn said he had
been experimenting at LOckhart
and LAGRANGE for two weeks,
and he has not made a failure in
a single instance. He is highly
elated over his success and urges
the cotton growers to lose no
time in sprinkling the poison on
their cotton while it is young. He
says the weevils are hungry to a
starving degree and readily eat
the poison. MI. MarstOn urges
all the cotton growers of Texas
to begin sprinkling their cotton
with paris green Immediately.
There is no time to lose, as at
this time the weevils are not Law

before egg laying time arrives,
