Mrs. Grant Miller of Two Harbors
underwent an operation last week,
physicians from Duluth performing
the operation. The Two Harbors
News In speaking Of the case said:
Her trouble was diagnosed as ap-
pendicitis, but after the operation
was under way it was discovered that
another trouble existed, which neces-
STATED the removal of other organs
She rallied nicely after the operation,
and is getting along most favorably.
Mrs. Miller's experiences for the past
month have been very trying. Her
husband was killed FEBRUARY 4th,
while in charge of log train. Last
week she gave birth to twins, in
creasing her family of fatherless chill
dren to eight, and then she was
forced to undergo the narrowing pos
sibility of being taken away from her
children as result of the operation.
Our people all trust that she has seen
the last of her misfortunes, and that
hereafter will offer gladness which
will in measure recompense the or
deal she has been forced to undergo.

through a period OF years. In some
parts OF the central South the in
crease Is also in part due to immigra-
tion, but this has yet. been a com-
paratively small factor except In Ar
kansas, Texas and other of the more
SOutherly and southwestern states,
where immigration has largely added
to the general advance in farm lands.
In the tobacco districts Of Tennessee
where the growers have made with g
quail success the same character OF fIghr
for better prices that the cotton grow
ers have made, there is reported a re-
alizatiOn on the part of the farmers
that when banded together they hold
the whip-handle against possible CON-
binations to beat down prices OF their
product, and that with this has come
new courage and strength, newer en-
thusiasm and greater optimism as 10
the future.
Throughout Virginia there has been
very considerable advance, due in
part to improved cultivation, increas-
ed diversiflcation, the raising of live
stock, and also in part to the purchase
OF many farm properties by people
from other sections.
The realization by the people Of the
entire South. bankers, merchants and
farmers, of the power of cooperation
in the proper handling and market
ing OF the two great staples, cotton
and tobacco, has brought about a COM
munity OF interest which is destined
to exert a very great influence upor
the entire business interests of the
South and of that portion of the bus
mess world which is any way depend
ent upon these staples or upon the
general prosperity of the South.

PLUCKING SHIPPERS.

Plucking western shippers is a
pretty profitable enterprise for the
railways. The national river and har-
bor congress, which is working for
the improvement of internal water
ways as means of transportation,
has compiled figures showing how
western traffic is Disseminated against
A comparison is made between the
rates from several important Iowa
points to Liverpool, O., and Liverpool,
Eng.
The shipper who has wares to send
from Liverpool, o., to Cedar Rapids
must pay So cents hundred, while
the entire distance by rail and steam
er from the English port to the Iowa
point would be 80 cents hundred.
The ratio is about the same for other
points, showing that the railways have
been infected with the tariff bred
practice of discriminating in favor of
foreign trade. As with the watch
manufacturer who makes his American
patron pay third more than he
charges foreigners for the same thing
the railways urge that they make this
lower rate to help trade, but the gen
eral public must believe that the for
eign price of American wares, pays
not only the cost of production and
freight, but fair profit The west
ern shippers are entitled to as low a
rate as that made for the longer haul.
involving the additional expense of
breaking bulk twice at sea and of wat
er transportation, and they will ex-
pect it under a system of laws which
will subject the railways to a proper
degree of control. Sioux City Trib-

WHEAT is ten cents a bushel lower in
price than last year, although it is still
protected by the tariff rate of twenty
five cents a. .bushel. The price of all
the farmers are buying is however at
the top notch and in fact the price of
all trust products protected by the tar
iff, is higher this year than last. Puz-
zle, why do some farmers support the
republican tariff trust policy that
plumbers them? Huron Herald Dem

All of which is very true. Wehavc
