Miss LansOn's Piano Recital.

A delightful concert was given at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Forest Proper last
Wednesday evening, by Miss Olive Ian
son, assisted by her instructor, Franklin
Cannon. The parlors were artistically
decorated in smilaX and ferns and pre-
sented very attractive appearance. The
audience was large and appreciaive one
and was received by Mrs. Proper, Miss
Lanson and Mr.. Cannon. Miss Lanson
played two groups of solos, and the Dance
of Death by Saint-Saens, with Mr.. Cam
non at the second piano. This number
was given very characteristic interpre-
lation and in it Miss Lanson displayed
remarkable memory and brilliant tech
mic. Her solo numbers, which were also
given from memory, were played with
genuine artistic feeling, and her ease of
manner and style we're especially pleas
ing features. AS an encore she played
the Shadow Dance by MacDowell. Mr..
Cannon gave great pleasure in his Chopin
group and in the Concerto in g minor, by
Saint-Saens, which he played from men,
ory with great breadth and abandon.
Miss Lanson ompsnied this number
on the second piano in an able and sym
pathetic manner. Six pupils OF Miss
Lanson, the Misses Irene Morrison, Ny

The general condition Of the farmer
just now is better than 1t has been,
and much better than the condition of
the working men Of the cities. To his
furgality, hard labor and intelligence,
the farmer owes this, and not to ini-
1uitous laws which throttle him in
many direction. The farmers wheat
completes in the markets Of the world
he receives at the hands of the don1-
nant Iarty no guarantee Of 'sreasona-
BILE profits, as does the manufact-
urer. A great trust charges HIM more
for the tools he uses than they sell
the same goods for in foreign lands.
Railroads put into their rates all the
traffic will bear, and resist to the ut
termost changes which would give the
producer more Of the fruits of his
labor. The republican party has con-
trolled the presidency, the congress
and the legislature for fourteen years.
The ills are as evident now, and more
far reaching than then.

In 1894 the republican party carried
Morrison county on pretty near every
thing and by large majorities. 1t has
never done so we'll since. In 1896
Mckinley had about 40 plurality, but
the democrats carried the county for
governor, congressman and a large
part of the county ticket. In every
election since the democracy has car
ried the county for governor and in
some elections for nearly all the state
ticket, while it has secured a prepon-
derance of county Offices The demo-
cratic party has had steady growth.
At the last election, it not only elected
a majority of county officers, but also
carried the county for its legislative
candidates and for most of the state
ticket. For lieutenant governor, the
democratic candidate had 297 plural
lty, and that is the Office generally
taken as fair idex of the situation
The republican party has steadily re-
trograded since 1894 and lost the adj
vantage it then possessed, in spite OF
the fact that for large part OF the
time the republican congressman has
been member of the local party.

Daring Holdup on Northern Pa
citic Near Spokane.
LITTLE BOOTY IS SECURED
Quick Wit Of the Postal Clerks
Saves Valuable Packages
Of Registered Mail

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 15.-One Of
the most daring holdups ever attempt
ed on a transcontinental train befell
Northern Pacific train No. 3. almost
within the city limits Of Spokane.
Two masked highwaymen stopped the
train at Otis and boarded the engine.
After brief encounter with the engi-
neer and fireman the mail car next to
the engine was detached and, one Of
the highwaymen taking charge of the
engine, the party came on west to
Trent, where the trainmen were dis
missed by the robbers. The bandits
then proceeded to within a mile of
Yardley, where they proceeded to rob
the mail car
: The baggage car and the express
car were untouched and none of the
passengers was molested. AS soon
as word was received in Spokane a
special train was made up, consisting
Of switch engine and coach, and
with several deputy sheriffs and spe-
cial agents of the Northern Pacific
was rushed to Trent. Shortly after
wards complete posse, headed by
Sheriff Doak, who had not been mott
fled in time to catch the first special
train, started out to scour the coun-
try. 1t is not known how much booty
was obtained.
Tricked by the quick wit of mail
clerks little plumber is believed to
have been secured by the two masked
men. Warned that the robbers were
coming the clerks took advantage of
the time after the Grain had been cut
in two and threw the local registered
packages into newspaper sack,
where they were not noticed. So far
as reported the only booty stolen was
the pouch of registered mail sent from
Chicago to Spokane and one for Seat
tie made up along the road. Neither
is known to have carried packages of
any great value.

4 BANKER ON GUARANTEED
DEPOSITS.
DEPOSITS.

Mr. Samuel A. Rask, cashier Of the
First National Bank OF Blooming
Prairie, Mimi, recently spoke as
follows before the Minnesota Bankers
association:
1T seems to me that, actually or
morally, most Of the objections to the
guarantee of deposits came from dis
tinctly selfish motives. If the
guarantee of deposits should make for
the most good to the most people, then
these should yield to the greater
good. For every good banker ought
to favor every proposal which would
improve the banking business as a
whole, which would increase public
confidence in banks in general, which
would tend to make every man with
any money deposit it in some bank
instead of boarding it, and which
woulu lessen the probability of panic
among depositors in unquiet times.
: II have no profound insight in
the mysteries of finance, but apparently
the problem before the bankers of the
country is whether there is not such a
demand for guarantee of the fund
of tue deposltors that it will not
down, and that it must be met even
though with it there be necessary
some radical changes in the banking
laws and methods Of inspection.
The bankers met the crisis last
fall. Was the manner in which they
did SO a precedent2 The people, we
say, are becoming educated to banking
conditions and customs, but according
to the statement of the comptroller Of
the currency, in his last published
report, the vast amount OF money not
in sight shows lack in confidence in
our banking system What Is the
remedy? Some object to the guarantee
Of deposits, under government SUPER
vision, because it is too paternalist1c,
but are in favor of the postal savings
bank. Are we not all so altruistic as
to desire some means whereby the
depositors may feel absolutely pro-
tected?
In my humble opinion, if you can by
legislation, provide some sort of a
guarantee for the protection of
depositors, so that they will feel easy
and confident, and will not be affected
by panies you will, to large extent,
cure such evils as we had last fall I
repeat, if we could guarantee that
even man who places his money in
the a$.ias would receive it again, when
he wanted it, dollar for dollar. we
should never need to worry about runs
on the banks
.And may God hasten that day. !"

Chas. W. Bouck, candidate for the
republican nomination for representa-
tive from the 48th legislative district,
81 at the present time devoting his
time and energies to meeting the
voters of the northern portion Of the
district where he is probably not SO
well known as he is in the southern
portion where he has resided for the
past % years. Mr.. Bouck informs us
that some of the roads in that section
are not in the best of shape and should
he be elected he will use his best
endeavors to secure state aid for such
roads in the district where the task is
too great for local endeavors alone.
