/, THE FARMERS WILL FIGHT.
They Demand Some Changes in the
New Revenue Law.

HSJ Dendnu some changes IN the
New Revenue Law.
LlNCOLN--A new non.partisan po-
litical organization is being formed in
Saline and adjoining counties. The
farmers mean to secure several radical
changes in the revenue law and are
combining to enter the legislative
fight
The agriculturists probably will
not return the Saline delegation to
the legislature should the present in
cumbents be renominated. All other
aspirants must run the gauntlet on
revenue matters before they will be
supported.
The plan of organizing is novel
one. The farmers declare that farm
assessments are outrageous in com
parison with railroad and corporation
assessments. An organizer will fol
low the assessor. Each farmer will
be asked to compare the figures this
year with the assessment last year.
If he is dissatisfied he will be invited
to join the organization without money
and without price. In politics the or
ganiZation will take non-partisan and
concerted action in regard to legisla-
tive candidates.
From the comparative statements
returned by the farmers a huge petit
ton will be compiled and presented
to the state board of equalization at
the May meeting. The avowed pur.
pose of the organization will be to
work against all candidates who sup.
ported the new revenue law and
against all new nominees in sympathy
with the measure

BRYAN IN MANKATO.
Distinguished Democrat Spends Short
Time In the City.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

Time In the City.
From Saturdays Daily.
William Jennings Bryan spent about
forty-five minutes in the city this morn
ing, arriving from the south on the Oma-
ha train and leaving at a. m. over the
Milwaukee for Albert Lea, where he was
to address the Chautauqua THIS after
noon. Accompanying him were Geo. z.
T. Sweeney, for several years cousul to
Turkey and a well known preacher, and
Rev. Geo. L. McNutt, "the dinner pail
man."
The three distinguished gentlemen leis-
urely walked up town, and seeing Will
lam Georges restaurant sign went down
stairs to his place and had breakfast.
'Billy" had seen a handful announcing
that these gentlemen were to speak at
the Chautauqua today, but without this
announcement he would easily have rec
ognized the well known features of the
man who twice captured the Democratic
nomination for president by the magic
of his oratory. The gentlemen conversed
together as they ate their breakfast, and
on departing Mr.. Bryan complimented
Mr.. George upon the excellence of the
meal.

weather, will greatly retard the matur-
ing of crops.
The weather changes during the last
part of July will be very similar and
regular all over the continent and all
sections will be affected by each of the
great storm waves.
Immediately following the date of this
bulletin will come the great high tenn
perature wave with severe storms on the
north Atlantic and at the closing, OF
the last end of the storm wave, heavy
rains in some localities.
Temperature of the week ending Aug
l, will average below normal and rainfall
will be above.
The next bulletin will give general
forecasts of August, but I will say now
that the first half of the month will
be unusually cold and wet, the last half
warmer and dry.
I must repeat, or you will forget,
that dates are for meridian 90; little
earlier west and little later east of
that line.

GRAND ARMY STIRRED
Camp Fires Blaze with Joy 0vef
Escape of General BedeII's
War Orderly from a
ParalYtic's Fate.

When Mr.. Ross G. Duffy, of No. Is
Russell avenue, Nashua, N H., was sud.
denly FRUSTRATED by paralytic shock,
the deepest concern was felt throughout
the town in which he had been promi.
inent official.
Grand Army men were especially So
licitous for in the Civil war Mr.. Duffy
had acted as General Bedell's orderly
while serving with Co. F, Third regiment,
New Hampshire Volunteer infantry, and
after the war he became a member Of
General Foster Post, G. A. R.. and rose
to be department vice-commander.
The general anxiety felt about him af.
ter his sudden shock in the latter part of
1901, was slightly relieved by the news
that he had come out of state of I'M
consciousness which had lasted for five
days, but as week after week went by
and he made no further progress, one
leg remaining paralyzed, it was con.
Guided that the highly honored veteran
must at best remain cripple for life.
Suddenly to the surprise and delight
of every one Mr., Duffy appeared ON the
street in Enthusiastically robust health
and was overwhelmed by congratula-
tons and inquiries:
"The regular treatment" said Mr..
Duffy, "didn't do bit of good, so far
as my paralyzed leg was concerned. My
left leg remained cold and dead, and /
had been too active man to be content
to be housed up with one dead leg if
there was any possible way to cure it.

FOSTERS WEATHER.
Warm and Cold Waves Alternate
What's Due in August.


Washington, D. &C., July 23.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent July % to July
26, warm wave July 81 to July 25, cool
wave July "a to July %. The next dis
turbance will reach the Pacific coast
about July 30, cross west of the Rockies

valleys July 81 to August 2, eastern
states August 8. A warm wave will
cross west of the Rockies about July 20,

This disturbance will come with a
period of low temperatures, will cause
furious storms but not the most severe
of the summer, will be preceded by very
high temperatures and followed by a
long period of unusually cool weather
covering nearly three weeks, so very cool
as to materially injure the progress of
maturing crops.
This storm wave will be at it's great

Dentistry for Horses.

Horses need the services of a dentist
very often, but the average owner does
not know it. When horse is 'off his
feed" it may be because he has the
toothache or his teeth have became sharp
and jagged, and hurt his mouth so badly
he cannot eat. If there is no trouble
with his teeth and he still does not eat,
it may be because he has been given one
kind of feed so long and uninterruptedly
that he has lost all desire for it; it has
become obnoxious, in fact, and he can
not eat it. In such cases a change of
diet is what the horse needs, and not
medicine. But in every case where a
horse shows a dissemination to eat, his
teeth should be carefully examined.

NARROW ESCAPE.

Floyd Clifford Nearly run Down By
An Engine.
From Saturdays Daily.
Floyd Clifford, an employee of the Man
kato Mills company, had very narrow
escape from being run down by freight
engine at the Elm street crossing of the
Northwestern tracks about noon yester-
day. He was driving a horse and bug
gy eastward over this crossing, when
the gateman lowered the gates, shutting
him in. A freight engine was bearing
down upon him on the track next to the
farther gate and he had the choice of be-
ing run into or breaking through the
gate. He instantly chose the latter
course and drove the horse full force
against the end of one projection, which,
being of wood, easily snapped off. The
horse took fright and ran two blocks
before he could be successfully checked.
