Madison Topics.

Madison, December String out the
old, ring in the new." Christmas, with
its drunkenness, dancing, fighting and
| frolicing, is over. Oh, my God, when
will the people stop this way of cele-
brating the Lords day.
Not long since l overheard two young
men talking about the intended dances
for Christmas and one of them made the
remark II must get me some whiskey
for the dances. / can't half Swing
unless l am about half or whole shot"
Girls, why do you sti'l contend and go
to dancing and "swing' (as this young
man calls iD with men when they admit
themselves they can't dance unless they
are under the influence of whiskey I? 1t
is astonishing. If there is single bit of
good in dancing will some one please
point it out to me? / can show you
several points of harm and danger in it..
Not long since 1 was standing in a drug
store door in one of our most up-to-date
towns, talking to friend, when several
young ladies passed down the street
And / made the remark that did not
know the town afforded such beautiful
girls. "Oh, yes" replied my friend,
they are all regular attendants at the
ball room and skating rink" Further
he said, "If wanted wife would go
a long way before would marry one of
these kind of girls" Girls, if you want
to be respected by the young men, stay
away from such places. But enough of
this; nevertheless if the ''cap" fits you
put it on.

ereenieaf for Governor.

Concord, N. H., Sept 1S.--The state
republican convention of New Hamp-
shire was called to order at Phoenix
hall at IL o'clock this forenoon. At
ter the usual preliminaries a perma-
,nent organization was effected by the
election of Samuel G. Eastman OF
Concord, as chairman. The fact that
he is a strong Greenleaf man, is con-
sidered strong indication of the SEN
timent of the convention. The Gus
tomary committees were appointed and
then the convention took a recess for
luncheon.
The convention has been called for
the purpose of nominating a full state
ticket. The principal contest is for
the nomination for governor, for
which there are three candidates in
1.-THE field, Col. Charles H. Greenleaf
Winston Churchill, Charles M Floyd
r. w. Pilsbury and j. Gale. 1t is be-
lieved that Greenleaf will be nominal
! ed on the first ballot, although Win
ston Churchill is said to have many
supporters. 1t is rumored that
Churchill, who is claiming recognition
on a rather Independent basis, may
bolt, in case he should not be nomin-
ated and join forces with the demo-
Gratis, in the hope of being elected on
his own platform.

Officials Guard Carefully .
Against Its Introduction

New York, Sept. 1S.--All precau-
lions are being taken by the immigra-
ton officials at the Ellis Island sta
ton to prevent the entrance into this
country of the horde of aliens who are
afflicted with trachoma, the dread and
insidious disease of the eyes, now rag
Ing in many parts of Europe.
The records of month show an ay-
erage of ten persons being deported
each day because they have trachoma.
SO great was the thrush of these suf-
ferers that Commissioners General of
immigration Frank p Sargent made
an inquiry and found that several of
the steamship lines, greedy for the
passage money for immigrants, per-
nit trachoma infected persons to take
passage even when they are known
to be diseased.
The law provides a fine of 500 for
the steamship company that brings
to these shores an immigrant afflict-
ed with the disease. 1t is a granular
condition of the inner covering of the
eyelid, which physicians say is gen
orally considered incurable In it's
first stages no one but an expert could
detect it. Later 1t becomes a loath-
some sore and leads to blindness. The
steamship trust agents pass a sufferer
over the Atlantic and take the chance

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. lS.-The
opening session Of the annual conven-
ton of the Canadian Manufacturers
association will be held here this
evening and the convention will last
three days. The programme prepar-
ed for the convention Is very interest
ing and includes discussions of many
important matters bearing upon trade
and commerce in the Dominion. The
membership of the association at
present exceeds 2,100 names and it is
expected that the convention will lead

believed that Mr.. Harry Cockshutt of
Brantford, Ont, will be elected presi-
dent of the organization for the ensu-
ing year. After the close of the con-
vention the members will take trip
to the coast over the Canadian Paci-
fic railway and will visit various points
of interest in British Columbia and
the new provinces.

Tin Horn Arrested.

Bismarck Tribune: The only word
received today from Underwood was
to the effect that a tin horn gambler
named Bishop had been arrested on
suspicion of being one of the robbers.
Bishop has been fiuctuating between
here and Underwood for some months
! past and has an unsavory reputation,
having been run in here a number of
times for drunkenness. Those who
know him doubt If he had the sand to
do the business.
The Security bank was the first one
dynamited. Druggist wike, whose
store is next to the bank, is reported
as saying two shots were fired in the
safe and then the party went over to
the First State bank, which is diagon-
ally across the street, fired two shots,
cleaned up all the cash there and then
returned and fired another shot at
the Security bank safe and succeeded
in getting it's cash. The four robbers
then leisurely walked down the Main
street and turned north.
After they had been gone some time
Mr.. Wike who had supposed from
their slow movements that a guard
was left behind, left his store and gave
the alarm. 1t is said the trail of the
robbers was followed in the road
three miles and was then lost in the
grass. From all accounts but three
men were aware of the robbery while
1t was going on and as they were or
dered to keep in doors under penalty
of death, the alarm was not sounded
until the robbers had a good start.
The impression prevails at Under
wood that the work was done by local
artists and that they doubled back to
town from the country after caching
the cash.

anniversary of the Declaration of
Chile's independence is celebrated to-
day throughout the republic. The
festive spirit, which ordinarily pre-
dominates on the anniversary of In

this year owing to the terrible catas-
trophe in Valparaiso. Many commu-
mites have decided to use the money,
which would have been used for the
celebration of the day. to give relief

Musr DEPEND ON AGRICULTURE

James j. Hill, recognized as one
of the best business men of the
country, and who as President of
the Great Northern Railway has
! done more to build up the North
west than any other one man,
makes the prediction that we will
have to take care of fifty million
more people twenty years hence
than are now in the country, and
that these people must be housed
and employed. He further pre-
dicted that in 1850, or forty four
years hence, there will be two and
e-half times as many people in
the United States as are here
today.
The question which comes to
him is, What are we to do with
them? How are we to provide for
them, shelter them and furnish
them their daily bread? He is of
the opinion that the Orientals will,
by their ability and cheap labor,
control the markets of the world.
Our coming millions, therefore,
cannot be employed in factories,
as our factories will be without a
foreign market, and for this reason
he.does not see where the pay
roll for the factories is coming
from.
And all industries, Mr.. Hill well
declares, stop when this is not
forthcoming. His conclusion is
that we must become an agricuI-
tural people, if we are to take care
of ourselves. He says that within
twenty years, under present con-
ditiOns, our wheat crop will not be
sufficient in home consumption and
seed. Mr.. Hill made very strong
plea for scientific agriculture.
! Whatever so close a student of
conditions as he is says must be
needed. He has vast interests at
stake. Through his steamship
and railroad lines he is in close
touch with the Orient, and he
quickly feels any change which
affects the industrial and economic
situation. Scientific agriculture,
the knowledge Of how to make two
blades of grass grow where only
one grew before, are questions
which are not lightly to be put
!, aside.
The time is coming when the
best intellects of the country will
be turned to the pursuit of agricul
ture.,
