The county republican committee
has its call for a convention in THE
TIMES to-day, set for the 9th of Oc
tober, with the idea of putting in a
straight ticket, and we understand
that it is the hope of the republicans
that the democrats may also put up
a straight ticket—and thus learn the
true strength of the parties. But
from what we' can learn a goodly
proportion of the democrats prefer
not to do this, but to nominate
peoples ticket, this time.
George Johnson has returned
from the country for a day or two

the finest farm residences in the
county. Mr. Johnson has also
this summer put up a double resi

24x32 with ell 16x24, 16 foot posts.

domiciled on the farm and will
work the same for Fred in the

years.
'It is about time that the congrega
tional clergymen begin to arrive for
the conference. We believe that
the present meeting is to be very
largely attended, there being a
goodly sprinkling of eminent men
in attendance, and that the bus
iness to be transacted will be cor
respondingly important to the
church, and that the session and ad
dresses will be exceeding interest
ing to the public—all having a
cordial invitation to attend. And
in the light of these facts, Wahpe
ton opens her hospitable doors to
the clergy and bids them a royal
welcome. With the hope that their
vis^t may be all that is anticipated
by them, and that the theolgical
legislature in the new church
be equally so in profit.

Through the enterprise of ex
mail agent Crofts, Wahpeton is fa
vored with a system of weather sig
nals, from Washington, D. C„ placed
on a staff over the post-office. The
white flag means clear weather, but
when it appears with the black tri
angular flag above it, indicates
warmer and clear weather, and
when the black flag appears below
it indicates colder and clear weather
the blue flag means rain or snow
white flag with black square in the
center means a cold wave.
Mr. Matson and wife of St. Croix
county, Wisconsin, an uncle and
aunt of Mrs. F. L. Dwyer, are out
here visiting with Mr. Dwyer's
family, near Hankinson. Only a
few days since Dr. Yanatta, out
here visiting Mr. Dwyer was intro
duced about the city. The doctor
was quite an elderly gentleman and
it was with his son whom Judge
Lauder of this city read law in
Wisconssn. While in the city this
time Mr. Dwyer received a telegram
from home, spying his little daugh
ter, a year and a half old being ill,
had suddenly grown worse, and he
hurried away home. It is hoped
the little girl will soon recover her
good health.
We hear a great deal said of the
proposition that wheat inust ad
vance in price. In another place in
to-day's paper we quote a summary
of the situation from the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader, domesttic and
foreign. It is true that two years
ago men predicted that wheat
would advance, which was not
realized and although men of good
judgment think that wheat will be
worth $1.00 in 30days at Wahpeton,
we rather think the time is placed
too near. The same man, however,
says that he is offered $1.00 for his
grain in April, and he predicts that
good seed wheat will be worth $1.50
next spring, he being now offered
$1.20 for fife for seed. Be these
things as they may, every man
must be governed by his circum
stances. If he has debts pressing
him and money hard to get and he
can get a good price for his grain,
the chances are he had better sell
within 30days, for by that time the
gran will have attained its highest
price for a few moments to come,
and by which time tiie price may be
squeezed down, or lowered into
scaring farmers to deliver to the
elevators.

A Cure for Diarrhoea.—Mr. J. A.

which he says completely cured
them, and is confident it will cure
