LINCOLN ON LABOR AND CAPITAL. There is one point to which I ask attention. It is the effort to plaoe

CAPITAL on an equal footing with, if not above, LABOR in the structure of gov­

ernment. It is assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital.

There is no such relation. Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capi­

tal is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not

first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher

consideration.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. The Same Old Story Over Again—Man,

Gun and Sad Results.

Last Sunday afternoon Edwin Nel­son, youngest son of P. J. Nelson of New London, took his sister, Chris­tine, out for a boat ride and in doing so took a gun along. He rowed out to a little island located opposite Chas. Stam's in Cedar Island lake After having been on the island a short while they started for home. Miss Christine had got into the boat and Edwin was climbing in, having handed in the gun before. The gun, it seems, slid down a little too far and he was just in the act of pulling it back when the hammer struck in some way and exploded the charge. The muzzle of the gun was close up to his thbjrh at the time of the explosion and as a consequence the charge made a large hole in the flesh and also splint­ered the bone. The wound is a yery serious one, but the attending physi­cian, Dr. Newman, is in hopes of pull­ing him through. It is feared that the young man may be crippled from it.

At the time the accident happened they were about one and a half miles from home, and while the young fel­low couldn't row he sat upright and directed his sister while she rowed home, which took three-fourths of an hour. He even attempted with the as­sistance of his sister to walk home from the lake shore but this was too much for the brave fellow and they had to get a buggy to bring him home in.

This is but another warning to the young and careless hunter. You can never be too careful with the gun.

The Argus Mannikin.

Prinsburg, Sept 24, 1900 Mr V E Lawson

As one of your people I congratulate you on the distinction conferred on you by the Ar­gus as being the political boss of the Populists of Kandiyohi county The Argus must be jealous of the influence the TRIBUNE has with the populistic and also with the republican readers of the county, and which is probably affecting the circulation of his paper Or per­haps the persistent accusation of bossism can be explained by assuming that Wharton feels like the old gentleman who made himself ob­noxious to the boys by his attention to the girls In a burst of mischief and revenge the boys put a "scentbag ' of Mephitis Americana in his coat pocket The result was that be al­ways carried a polecat smell with him. But the peculiarity of the case was that he always suspected the other fellows of having been within the "sphere of influence' of the animal The moral to be learned from this is that the Argus man is so used to boss rule and being boss-ridden that he thinks a party cannot ex­ist without it

In the editorial in which Wharton exhibits me as "one of your people ' he calls me a "re­former of the modern stripe " Bless his inno­cent heart, would he want me, in company with Mark Twain, to weep over the tomb of Adam and try to reform the old gentleman? I am glad he does me the justice of allowing that I have sense enough to know that it takes a modern reformer to oppose modern evils.

The path of a republican editor is not always strewn with roses The profound wisdom they assume (but which refuses to impart itself to their editorial pen) is not aiways appreciated The siren songs sung to decoy the populists back, who are supposed to be lost in the labyr­inths of politics—to fall on deaf ears, all this is hard But to see the heedless populist in the firm grasp of an obdurate boss, delivered, bound hand and foot into the democratic camp, must be heartrending in the extreme, and pierce their sensitive souls.

But appearances are deceptive. Maybe the editor is not the man I was impressed while on the fairgrounds this year by a sight that re­called to me the "strenuous ' life of a repub­lican editor An Italian peanut vender roasted his wares on the corner of his stand A little mannikin seemed to turn the crank of the roaster, but under cover was a little gasoline engine doing the work So instead of the mannikin turning the crank, the crank turned the mannikin The power was applied at the other end By this we can understand the gymnastics and seeming exertions of repub­lican editors), and bow their political peanuts are roasted.

Reading the article in question through, I was rewarded at the end by noting a burst of enthusiasm and wit entirely unlooked for To see genuine enthusiasm we must contem­plate a republican editor viewing the remains of the people's party Then the dry bones Jive To me it is a sign that they have mis­take n their calling. While nature intended them for UNDERTAKERS, which office tbey could fill with credit to themselves, stern fate puts them in the editorial chair, where they shorten their natural life by trying to suck wisdom out of their editorial pen. Sueh is life.

The Truth Regarding the Philippines. Lieut. Martin E. Tew, who served

as private, as scout, as interpreter for the late Major General H. W. Lawton and for Governor General Otis, and as commissioned officer in the Thir­teenth regiment of Minnesota volun­teers during its campaign in the Phil­ippines, will lecture in the opera house at Willmar on Saturday evening, Sept. 29th, beginning at 8 o'clock.

The lecture, which will be composed entirely of plain statements of fact and devoid of any merely partisan references, will treat of the Philippine islands, the characteristics of the peo­ple and conditions of the country.' He will display numerous relics, includ­ing native soldiers' uniforms, copies of Filipino newspapers, a gaudily em­broidered Filipino priest's robe, Fill-pino rifle and bolos, shells fired from Filipino guns, Filipino washing ma­chines, Filipino and Spanish flags, etc., etc.

The lecture will be a treat to anyone who is really desirous of learning the truth about these people, whose polio ical fate is of such significance in this campaign. Ladies and children are especially invited to attend. Admis­sion is free.

HEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST

Gleaned from Neighboring Exohanges, Personal or Otherwise.

A Democratic club was organized in the town hall, Saturday evening, with the following officers: President, Wm. O'ander; Vice-President, James Keeley; Secretary, Jacob Meyring; and Treasurer, Fred Kreps. A deter­mined effort will be made to carry the county, state and nation for Bryan.— Clara City Herald.

A judgment of divorce was entered by Judge Qvale at Willmar Monday in the action of Ellen L. Sivers vs. Jacob W. Sivers At the meeting of the share holders of the Minnesota Central Telephone Co., held in Minne­apolis Tuesday, a decision was reached to cancel all passes held by stockhold­ers on October 1st. This is an action that has been expected would occur but it was not thought that the schem­ers at the head of the concern would have the nerve to take the step so soon. —Paynesville Press.

Prof. G. A. Hanson, of the Willmar Seminary, is spending acouple of weeks in this vicinity in the interest of that institution Miss Allen, of Still­water, a graduate of the St. Cloud Normal School, was elected to fill the vacancy in the first primary room caused by the resignation of Miss Florence Porter Peter Dale and P. H. Boise, of Willmar, drove over Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Dale is a brother of our townsman, J. H. Dale, and Mr. Roise was ah old business partner of Mr. Dale twenty years ago, and is the leading dry goods merchant of Willmar. Mr. Dale took them to Franklin Wednesday for a visit with J. A. Bergeley, who is an old friend, and took in the county convention. We acknowledge a pleasant call.— Renville Star Farmer.

Anton Thompson, of Pennock, is assisting Buttermaker Johnson at the creamery for a few days. Mr. John­son has not been very well the past two weeks, and decided that if he took a little rest he would have a better chance to regain his health.. .An eld­er brother of Henry Scott, the man killed at DeGraff two Weeks ago, was here looking up the facts of the case. He is engaged in the real estate busi­ness in Iowa. He did not learn of the death of his brother until too late to reach Benson before the inquest, and the news of the affair came as a great shook to him and the balance of the family. He says that either he or another brother of the dead man will be here at the trial of Campbell.—Ben­son Monitor.

Mrs. C. Johnson and son, Hans, of Willmar, were here last week A. L. Nelson, of Willmar, was in town one day last week G. A. Erixon, of Willmar, was in town last Friday. Mr. Erixon travels for a perfumery house Mrs, Ole Steendahl and her son, Stub, drove to Willmar Monday forenoon, returning in the evening. .. Rev. and Mrs. C. J. Collin left last Thursday for AD extended visit to Duluth and Stark, Chisago county. They will return some time next week. . . . Martha and Elmer Broberg left Monday for St. Peter where they at­tend the Gustavus Adolphus collage this winter. They were accompanied by their father T. J. Lawson is building a new dwelling house on the lot south of Louis Larson's residence The structure is beginning to loom up among the trees arid shows off in an excellent manner Mrs. C. M. Lin-gren and her son, Henry were greatly relieved, last Thursday afternoon, by the arrival of a telegram from Port LaVaca, Texas, stating that Olivia, the place where their daughter and sister, Minnie Lingren, is stopping, had escaped the great storm. Later they received a letter from her stat­ing that she is safe and sound, and which also showed that she was entire­ly unconscious of how near she had been to destruction —New London Times.

While out hunting the first of the week Walter Nelson's gun exploded and his left hand was quite seriously injured. A bad shell seems to have caused the accident. Walter had at­tempted to Bhoot the right barrel of his gun and it missed fire. He re­moved the shell and found it empty. Thinking that he had neglected to re­load after a previous shot, he put in another shell and when that was fired the <?un exploded. Therefore it is supposed that the bad shell had con­tained a wad between the primer and the powder and that the primer had forced the charge from the shell and it had remained in the barrel and when the next shell was discharged the compressed air, between the two charges, burst the gun. Walter came to town immediately and, Dr. Bjorn being away, he went to Atwater and had the wound dressed. The first two fingers were badly mangled, but he did not loose any of them and it is believed that the hand will be as good as ever in a few weeks.—Grove City Times.

Blind Pigs Pulled. Last Wednesday the city council

caused the arrest of two blind piggers, Ben Waterman and a fellow named Lyman. They were brought before Justice Boise for trial. Judge Muller appeared as proseouting attorney and Sam Porter and Sam Olson, senior member of the firm Olson and Johnson defended the piggers. They were found guilty and sentenced to a fine of $100, or 30 days in jail. They appealed to the district court, probably hoping that there would be a new county at­torney by the time cour,t uwiets. With a partner of their attorney for county attorney they would probably not feel at all trembly.

The Argus makes a curious display of its innermost feelings on the subject of blind pigs, by generously forbear­ing to give the names of * the piggers, but heaping ridicule and sarcasm on the prosecuting witnesses, denouncing one of them as a "blood hound." A law breaker is forsooth too good to have his name published, but one who tries to bring that lawbreaker to justice must be held up as an object of scorn. Shame upon a newspaper that so far forgets the moral obligation of every moulder of public opinion to uphold law and denounce law-breaking.

High School Notes. (Intended for last week )

Lillie Johnson and Lillie Kortbe will teach in district schools this fall.

KANDIYOHI. Sept. 24.

Plenty of rain and politics these days .. The Willmar politicians have been around here taking orders for Rough Rider suits. We do not know whether the, "suited" persons will im­port bronchos or use saw-horses to do their rough riding on, but they will undoubtedly make a formidable army

Threshing is in full blast Wheat turns out about 15 bushels per acre. Flax good, oats poor . .Mr. Chris Person has built a new barn, one of the best in this neighborhood .. Nels Tacklind is building a house at the station. We suppose he will start in housekeeping Wish you success, Nels.. .John Olson, who is renting Mrs. C. P.

SPECIAL REPORTER.

ATWATER. Sept. 24.

Turn out to the primaries, ye pops. Steps have been taken by the

local republicans to organize an At­water Rough Rider Club. Too early for particulars Mrs. Stansberry and son departed last Friday for Hol-comb, Illinois, after a two weeks' visit at Dr. Archibald's . . . S . M. Sivert-son and the land seekers, Olof Ander­son, Nels and Peter Nelson, returned last Friday from Red Lake Falls. They were favorably impressed with the country and may decide to pur­chase a piece of land there A number of the High School scholars pleasantly surprised Miss Alvina Barker at her home west of town. She was presented with an artistic carom board... A full bouse listened to the McPhee Concert Co. at the town hall last Thursday evening. Admis­sion was higher than what is usually charged, and the majority jtf people seemed to think they had'not received their money's worth A reception was given to Rev. Shoberg and family by the members of the Swedish Luth­eran church last Wednesday after­noon. * The good ladies of the church out-did themselves in preparing a bountiful repast for those present... Our Roller Mills are now running day and night to fill all orders.

MlD-ROADER.

Albert Swenson entered school on Tuesday of this week.

Miss Baker was ill last Friday and unable to be at school.

Lillie Johnson was a High School visitor on last Thursday afternoon.

Albin Carlson is absent from school caring for a sick tooth with the help of Dr. Twitchell.

We were somewhat surprised on Monday morning to find ourselves "turned around". On Saturday the seats of the High School room were changed so that they now face the south. This gives a better lighting for the students while studying.

In speaking of the "Fast Mail", the Daily News of Toledo, O , of August 13, says: "Yesterday afternoon saw the regular opening of Burt's Theatre with a meoldrama by Lincoln J Carter "The Fast Mail" which has for years been one of the most successful pro­ductions. The piece abounds with startling surprises. The particular feature of this piece is the scene show­ing a moving freight train of 14 cars which goes across the stage with light­ning rapidity. In fact, the entire pro­duction is one grand scenic display, among the features being a picture of Niagara Falls at night. The cast which is a large one is particularly competent. The audience was large and enthusiastic and so well was the play put on that the house will be filled afternoon and night the balance of the engagement." At Willmar
