Lake Journal publishes the news that
Sam Small has bought half interest
in the Inter- Ocean. A glance at the

Wilton News: The columns of the
state press are now teeming with
stories Of wheat yields, and it is our
turn to get in line. This week. Nels
E. Erickson. living several miles
southwest of town, brought to the
News office a very fine sample of wheat
and upon being questioned concerning
the yield, said it yielded thirty two
bushels to the acre. This wheat was
not durum OF macaroni, but a strain
of fife, and the sample is as fine a
berry as one could wish to see Mr.
Erickson purchased small quantity
Of this wheat several years ago and
has been sowing it on carefully pre-
pared land since that time, and this
year had quite quantity, nearly all
of which has already been sold for
seed
Washington Post: History will
teach our posterity that Lincoln and
Mcclellan, Grant and Seymour, Tilden
and Hayes, Garfield and Hancock,
| Cleveland and Blaine, Harrison and
Bryan, and Mckinley were men who
loved their country and deserved we'll
of her. And we doubt not that after
the reversed amenities of the pending
campaign have passed out of mind,
even the champions of Parker will
look with complacency upon Roose-
velt's aspirations to second term.
and the devotees of Roosevelt will ad-
nit that Parker possessed some virtues
that decent young men could afford to
emulate. So wags the world of
politics!
Hartford Conn. Courant: Possibly
those distinguished noblemen' who.
according to the press dispatches.
crossed the ocean with Buffalo Bill
and are with him now, are taking for
granted all the stirring experience
they have run up against 1t is con-
ceivable that they think that they are
right in the usual swim of events in
these United States. Going out to
hunt for bears and elk. they have come
upon bank robbery and are asked to
Join in man hunt, where the reward
is double for the robbers dead, and as
they start off on this expedition they
encounter the divorce case Of Buffalo
Bill himself, who is brave enough to
hunt murderers, but begs the court
to relieve him of matrimony on the
ground that his wife is cruel to him
and he cannot bear it. Murdere1s at
large. hunted by armed sportsmen,
and divorce proceedings accom- mpanying
the hunts suggests the spice that en-
livens American life.
Williston Graphic: Although the
result is not yet fully known, the
Graphic takes occasion to suggest
that, after the smoke of battle has
cleared away, and the wounded have
been cared for and the political dead
buried. the curtain be lowered upon
the scene, and tnat everybody set to
work bettering the conditions of their
respective localities. Let the heated
fires Of political discord, which have
distracted the several communities
during the past month, be deadened
by the return of mutual goodfellow-
ship of the contending forces, and all
join hands for the building Of your
locality and the country. Let the
spirit of friendship regain it's wonted
equilibrium, let your manhood master
the situation, and let those who may
have lost in the unequal contest meet
their defeat like true men, and extend
to their conquering foes congratula-
tions upon their brilliant triumphs
