Milroy Echo: We were all glad
to see Charlie Howard come to this
town yesterday. He is the first of
the candidates to put in his appear
ance in this part of the county.
Charlie comes out squarely before
the people and tells them what he
wants and if they want to know any,
thing about how he got his appoint
ment for judge Of probate. he is
not found lacking in making the
facts known. Mr.. Howard has
without a doubt been criticized
more in the last few months than
any one man in the county, but his
criticism, springing from its lonely
source, is getting pretty well worn
out. Mr.. Howard. no doubt, be-
lieves the same as Abe Lincoln of
old: you can fool all the people
part of the time and part Of the
people all the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time"
The SANDER suit brought by H. L.
Chaffee against Ed F. Berkner of
Sleepy Eye, resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff for $500. The case was
stubbornly fought in the Brown
county district court for two days
and was tried by Judge A. R. Pau
of Mankato. as reported in the Jour-
nal. Chaffee was formerly in the
hardware business at Elysian, and
for many years was also travelling
man. Berkner is a land dealer. The
SANDER suit started in Chaffee at
tempting to collect So from Berkner
for the rent of corn crib. The
account was paid, but Berkner in a
heated argument, called Chaffee
various names and threatened to put
him out of business. The phrase
which was considered actionable,
was, I'll show some of those broK-
en- down travelling men who could
not make success on the road that
they can't come here and bunco the
people with a lot of rotten junk. "
Chaffee is now conducting store at
Sleepy Eye and the remarks had ref
erence to his business. The case
will be appealed to the supreme
court by Berkner.
st. Paul Dispatch: The County
Optionists are trying to make D. A.
Stuart duck for cover. Stuart was
member of the last House from
the Fourteenth district. The job
didn't make much of hit with him
and he had about decided to stick to
the plain and simple life at Window
when the County Optionists came
along and began an attempt to con-
vince him that that is exactly what
he should do. Last Sunday they
were at Window en- masse. When
the smoke of battle lifted Repre-
sentative Stuart came to st. Paul,
where he spent a few hours regain
ing his composure and trying to fig
ure out how much of what the
County Optionists said was true.
The attack has had the opposite eff
feet from that intended by the
"drys." Like a gyroscope, the
more you press him down the more
Stuart hobs up, About one more
dose of such treatment and I'll be

Fine Farm Openings for College
Men.

'There are chances in agriculture in
the Middle West according to Golfers
Weekly. A young man studying ag-
riculture for four years in the practical
next to the. soil courses in one Of the
state universities would be sure of his
life work, and on graduation would
step out into job. That is more than
the average graduate of an eastern col
lege can do in the over crowded
Atlantic Coast cities. The dean of
Wisconsin state university received by
mail the other day-a typical day-a
request to fill three positions, and he
was unable to do so because none of his
pupils at that time were in shape to
take the job. The first was $1,000 a
year for an assistant in dairying; the
second was $1,000 a year for an
assistant in agronomy; the third was
1900 year for an assistant professor
of agronomy. Last year there were
$4,000 worth of positions which he
was unable to supply. These were
college positions. There were also
something over 100 farm positions as
wage earners, whose total value was
$50, 900 in salaries. -

Hides.

There Is more Catarrh In this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doc
tors pronounced 1t a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced 1t incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by j. f,
Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces Of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
to cure. Senc for circulars and testimonials.

Where the "HoIIer" Was More Inn
pressive Than the Words.
The appeal that fine flow Of oratory
will make to men and women was
amusingly exemplified one night at a
meeting in West Philadelphia, says a
Philadelphia paper. A noted speaker
was appealing to gathering to give
funds toward the work Of cleaning the
slums, making life healthy and happy
for the poor and other utopian schemes
Of men and women whose hearts throb
with longing to help their kind.
For half an hour he drew pictures
Of the conditions; then with expressive
gestures and his voice throbbing with
enthusiasm he poured out flow Of
rhetoric.
Our duty, our flag, our country"
dotted the speech with italics. The
audience shouted and cheered, and the
women wept, while storm Of APP
plause swept the room when the
speech was over.

Good Cough Medicine for
Children.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot be used
to protect the children. A child is much more
likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when he has cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers,
and few of those who have tried it are willing
to use any other. Mrs. F. f. Starcher, Of Rip
ley, w. Va, says: II have never used anything
other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
my children. and it has always given good salts

Looking Forward.

Darlington Democrat: A great deal
depends on the character of the candi-
date the Democrats of Wisconsin put
forward for the United States Senate.
The Democracy of Wisconsin as a
body is progressive. It would progress.
1t would promote justice. It would de-
throne privilege. 1t would restore gov
eminent to the people. 1t desires a
candidate who is dependable.
Should secret dickering with the
representatives of privilege succeed in
selecting a candidate, the number Of
Democrats who vote in their party s
primaries will not equal twenty per cent
of the party's strength.

More growls from the husband, who
was sleepy.
"You got t help me hunt it. any
way"
She took him and went forward,
peering under the seats. All up and
down the aisle they went, searching
vainly. The more uncomfortable the
stopping made her the madden and
worse excited the woman got and the
worse her husband growled
Finally she began poking under the
seats to see If she could touch the
umbrella in some recess beyond her
vision.
A girl with blue feather in her
hat who had been timidly watching
the performance and showing blush
ing tendency to interrupt could con-
tain herself no longer. n
What's that you're poking under,

Her egg cases are hauled from the depot
in hay racks. In telling of her early
experiences she told how little interest
the family took in the chicken depart
ment until her accounts were studied,
in which she showed that her income
from this was as great as that received
from the cattle. Mrs. Sorenberger
