CAN'T PAY PREMIUMS
Some Exhibitors at the Fair Are In
Bad Luck.

The Northwestern Mechanical and
Agricultural association, according to
Charles D. Clarke, secretary. has paid
all the bills incurred by the late fair
save $1,000 and these will be paid from
the sale of the horses purchased for
the relay races.
Besides this indebtedness, the asso-
citation owes about $4,000 in premiums
The original amount was $4,000, but
about $4,000 has been paid. Many OF
the exhibitors relied upon their pre-
I miums to get themselves and their
stock back home and the inability Of
the association to pay premiums left
them without money, and the society
could do no less than furnish them
: the money to get home with.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1881.


The nomination Of Frank slocum
for treasurer was generally anticipated,
and is on the whole satisfactory. Mr..
slocum has made a good treasurer. He;
is honest and competent. Aside from
the fault Of youth no adverse criti-
cism can be passed upon the nominee
for probate Judge, Mr.. Andreas LELAND.
He IS said by his friends to be young,
man Of exceptionally bright qualities
and solid requirements. G. w. Smith,
who was nominated for superintendent
Of schools, has held that office for a
number Of years creditably and salts
factorily and will be elected without
difficulty. It is sto be regretted that
nobody saw At to contest the commits

His Argument to Utter a PRAYER

be the Rule.


In closing his recent speech in the

reflections aside from the legal phase

be the goal toward which our ambitious
youth should be taught to toll and hope.

and great contentment will ever come

Massey, OF 1922 Clinton ST., Minneapolis.

pain and suffering which he endured
during this time is beyond comprenen-

relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. One application OF that liniment
relieved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bottle
has effected a permanent cure. If

The Man with the Shovel.

"We sold in 1867 says Boston
manufacturer, "35o,ooo dozen shovels
and delivered them to railroads, mining
companies and other large users. One
might think so many shovels would be
enough for a time, but this year our
sales will amount to 100000 dozen or a
little less than 100000 shovels.'
Every phase Of activity entering
into the unbounded prosperity of the
country has been commented upon until
it would seem that there is no feature
entirely new, yet the production of
shovels, certainly fine index, has not
been much thought about.
Five million shovels must mean great
labor in Improvement and preparation
for new railroad and other building,
and much new wealth taken out Of
the earth. Monetary records, new
showings in imports and exports, man
ufacturing totals not before reached
and new high bank clearings have all
been considered as representative of
the prosperity now enjoyed, yet moth
ing could be SO truly significant as the
illustration here afforded.
This is the year Of the man with the
shovel. Nothing more basic could be
found, and an apt and expressive name
for the period would be the year of the
100000 shovels.

it was it could not have related to the

quality which can turn from false
scent to true one without the loss of
single smell. &C.,,

the wind having veered, the reporter
