Bad Man John Burke.

U. S. Treasurer John Burke Is Of
the opinion that the ninth regional
reserve bank located at Minneapolis
may be closed. He hints that the
bank is working for the interests Of
the mill city grain dealers and not for
the farmers. This is shown by the
fact that the institution is demanding
terminal warehouse receipts as collat-
eral for loans, when the regulations
specify that any warehouse receipts
are acceptable. If these charges are
true, and they no doubt are, the gov
eminent should do something at once.
The grain dealers of Minneapolis have
run things long enough.-Paynesville

at once by Mr.. Marchmount, who re-
lated to him the conversation he had
just had with Mr.. Graham.
'"That accounts for it," said Regi-
maid. II met Mr.. Graham a few blocks
down the street, and he spoke to me
more cordially than he has ever done
before In his life and invited me to his
house to talk over some business"
Mr.. Nelson. the opportunity of your
life has come. For so young a man
the position of editor Of this paper
would be remarkable. You must have

A little before o'clock Reginald
knocked at the door of the Graham
home. It was opened by Joy, who
was evidently expecting him. I'VE

said pleasantly. papa told US you
were coming to dinner. It Is a long
time since you have been at our
house."
In few moments Mrs. Graham also
appeared and welcomed the young man
cordially.
Good evening, Mr.. Nelson" Mr..
Graham exclaimed. greeting the young
man with warmth which surprised
both his wife and daughter.
After the dinner Reginald and Mr.:
Graham retired to the library, where
the latter outlined to the young Eng

you can see, Mr.. Nelson, that my
friend, having his money invested In
this newspaper, naturally wants an
editor who is also financially interest

With much reluctance Reginald
agreed to sign a note for the price Of
fifteen shares Of stock.

it was practically decided that the
stock Of Mr.. Marchmount should be

~HE citizens Of Bronson were
preparing for a glorious cele-
bration on Independence day.
For weeks the business men
and factories had been working on
floats, banners and street decorations,
and when July the 18th dawned it
found the Michigan city ready to greet
It in a way which would have done
honor to the largest cities in the land.
A number Of the more public spirited
citizens, led by Edgar Prince. George
Edwards, Mr.. Marchmount and others
lke-mtnded, had charge Of the cele-
bration, and they spared no efforts to
make it great occasion. Allan Rut-
ledge had been engaged to make the

ster parade.

Ing confidence in It The presence Of
Ned Rowlands on the STAFF was dis
couraging to many Of the radical re-
formers.
Inc young editor Knew nothing Of
the schemes Of the conspirators who
were now confident that they had Reg

very short time to take advantage
Of the falling subscription list of the
Courier to unceremoniously GUST the
budding editor from his chair and fol-
low up this blow by circulating stories
defaming his character and also by
beginning action in the courts for the
immediate payment of the notes which
Reginald Nelson had signed in pay

together in the private office Of the
