H. MeixpN," Committee. TIIE LEGISLATURE. The Senatorial Convention yesterday nominated A. M. Crosby, of Nobles county, for State Senator. The Repre resentative Convention meets to day and there is no doubt that W. H. John son, of Jlurrny, will be the nominee. There were several candidates in Mur ray, but Mr. Johnson secured the dele gation from that county. Mr. Crosby was the only person offering for theClenirnous. place and he hart a walk over. Both gentlemen arc abundantly able to represent their districts creditably and we have no doubt will do so. UKX. RAKER'S ADDltESS. Gen Baker's address at the State Fair, like his address at the Duluth Canal Convention, is worth preserving among Minnesota literature. He has the knack of. grasping all the salient facts and putting them into compact and portable shape, dressed in the language and style of the orator and poet. In his Rochester address he makes a splendid showing for Minne sota. Our population has now reach ed the sum total of 032,773, or in round numbers, 1,000,000. The estimated wheat yield for 1882, based on official returns made to the commisioner of statistics, is over 42,000,000, over 3Q, 000,000, of which can be sold after re serving enough for home consumption and seed. The corn jield is estimated ut over 31,000,000. The general does not confine himself to enlarging upon the enormous yield of material and 1 asa'ar products, but shows a good crop also of literary pro ducts at the head of which stands Don nelly's "Atlantis," and the general says, "Our long winters and mental activities will breed a race of authors." THE PROHIBITION PARTY. The Fourth District Convention of Prohibitionists, which met in Minnea polis, and wminntod Dr. Phillips tor Congress, is following the lead of the National Convention which met at Chicago. The sentiment of the Na tional Convention was in favor of a third party and "going it alone." This is right. Let the Prohibition ists fi^ht it out on that lino, and if the people are fools enough to form a great national party on that idea, we must submit to the majority in case it suc ceeds. We notice that the clerical members of the Prohibition party frequently let the cat out of the bag in their remarks. They couple Prohibition and Sunday laws in the same sentence, and after they have secured Prohibition, they will demand stringent laws to compel the people to observe the church Sab bath, which is not a Sabbath to Jews, Advantists, and Liberals. We suppose the next step will be to demand laws compelling people to attend church, after the manner of the new England Puritans. That this Prohibition movement is a clerical one, and is No. 1 of series of assaults upon personal liberty, leaks out on all occasions. The Methodist Conference of the Ovvatonna District, a few weeks ago, adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That we approve of all reg ill:..- and legitimate methods of popular -agitation, but that we positively refuse to harbor any so-called laborers in thefavo* •causa who do not come with proper en dorsements of Christian character and moral respectability and wo would further respectfully remind the state central prohibition agitation commit tee.that in assigning workers and ar-J. ranging meetings and conventions in local centers the ministry there estab lished should be first consulted and their opinion respected, and that unless the said committee proceed to respect such rights, we can neither endorse their plans nor colabor with them. Just so. They don't propose to work with "sinners." "Christian character" they say, which means to be an ortho dox church member. And the local "ministry must he first consulted." Why not consu.lt the local school teach ers, or the local lawyers or the doctors, or the editors? Why not? Because in the eyes of the clergy who adopt such resolutions, temperance in an infidel, or a Jew, or a Spiritualist, or a Liberal, is not temperance. It is church tem perance they want' viz: Enforced tem perance, such as they have at the Still water prison. Compulsory temperance is their demand and the next step is compulsory religion, and the particular religion which can get a majority will force all the others to bow to its de crees, pay tithes for its support, and be punished for opposing its errors. Now we believe in temperance as strongly as the church people do, and we claim to be personally as good a temper ance man as the average clergyman, but we hold that Prohibition is wrong in principle and is a failure where ever it has been tried from Maine to Worth ington. We are glad Judgo Severence lias spoken and called it "one of the weakest weapons that could be used in the temperance cause." A Difficult Problem Solved.—The desire for stimulants is becoming a monstrous evil, and how to overcome this a serious question with reformers. Parker's Ginger Tonic fair'v solves the difficult problem. It invigorates the body and mind without intoxica ting, and has brought health and hap piness to many desolate homes.—En quirer. See other column. J. McNamara lias retired from the liock Rapids Reporter and C. J. Ronald becomes editor. Ronald is a good printer and ought to make an equally good editor. Howdy, tgr. Highly Esteemed.—The youthful co lor nnd a rich lustre are restored to fa ded or gray hair by the use of Parker's Hair Ifcibam, a harmless dressing high ly eateenud for its perfume and purity.

Bennett has returned to his home in New York City in good health and spirits after his trip around the world. He says his faith in Gods and Devils was al ways deficient, but thinks it has not been increased by traveling 30,000 miles. He says: "I return with renew ed faith in the eternal powers and prin ciples of nature, in the superiority of good lives, in acts of kindness towards our fellow beings, and in efforts to spread the light of truth over the dark spots of earth. I shall continue to do what lies in my power in this di rection." Mr. Lindquist has been on a visit east, to Goodhue County, where many of his Svveedo friends live. He says he found most of them behind this age of progress. Still building costly churches te perpetuate their old withered creeds and stamp their dark superstitions on coming generations. Que of his friends had just bought a new, very costly, Bible, a book costing twenty dollars in it were numerous of Bible scenes, and among them was a representation of God in the act of making the World. He said God. in the picture, looked like a big portly dutchn a with his arms extend ed niakingjthe world round, smoothing it in places and pawing up the dirt in other places to make the mountains.J If this picture had heen made a few hun dred years ago the earth would have been represented as a flat surface with four corners and perhaps four angels standing on the corners holding the four winds. So it seems science has up old theology a little even in the old style churches. Mc-brightened, GEO. W. WILSON, F. BLOOM, Wm. WIOIIAM. Committee. REPORT ADOPTED. On o'ion, I. P. Durfee was empow ered to cast the vote of Worthington township. Only a short time ago there appeared in The North American Review a remarkable article from the pen of Henry Ward Needier, showing that he is getting farther advanced in mental liberty. I will quote a few passages from it. He says: "No ingenuity or eloquence can^pursuade men that God, who for ten thousand years has labored to prodnco an infinite population of damnable souls, can with decency be called our Father. Little by little the pulpit shrinks'froin medieval theology. To lean to one's reason has been de clared a sin and a snare. What then shall we lean upon? If a man may not use his eyes what may he see with?" This language from the distinguished divine, II. W. Beecher, no doubt is as radical and as much against old theol ogy taught in the churches at Pipe stone, as anything Mr. Walker said in his lecture which aroused the old church spirit of persecution, and he tried to de fend his old^bloody, vengeance religion by throwing rotten eggs. Well, that is about what we should expect as they had no arguments to present. Rotten egg* area it representation of their de caying creeds and dogmas. LuiiY A. CRAPSEY.

This item would have been pertinent some months ago. but has no excuse now only to get in a dig at the AD VANCE. For months we have had lit tle or no occasion to say anything of the brats for since Marshal Lyons went on duty the. brats have kept shady. La dies tell us that now they can pass up street without being pushed off theconvention. sidewalk by dirty lubbers playing mar bit'S in front of tiie stores' and that ball playing in the streets, throwing stones at houses, breaking windows, and vile and insulting language, are •int as frequent by 75 per cent as they were when the ADVANCES was denoun cing bratism. This dig of the Herald's is altogether out of place now andthe shows that Miller was hunting for something to say about the ADVANCE. Oue of the Herald employees had oc casion a few mouths ago, while in Worthington, to slap an impertinent brat roundly, and we think he didthese right. We can let Marshal Lyons take care o? the brats now as well us theDon't adult ruffians At last we have a Marshal who is not afraid to overhaul a brat for fear of offending the "fool" parents who were largely responsible for the bad behavior of Worthington children, nor afraid to promptly arrest any adult offenders. The result is that there never was such good order in Worthington as there is now. COUNTY NEWS. WILLMONT. Stacking is all done and we hear the voiceof the thresher all around, David Hefty, of Stillwater, came up last week, looking after his land inter est in town. He sold his barn and granery to Mrs. Tabbert. Jos. Balkenol moved his house last Saturday, to its final resting place. F. Ktigler engaged as head engineer with Mr. Ferguson and went west last Monday. Considerable rye is sown in this town. WILLMONT. GRAND PRAIRIE. Threshing machines are humming in all parts of this town. So far as we hear from the grain is yielding better than was expected. We have not as yet learned the yield of wheat and oats as the threshing has mostly been done on flax, which seems to be yielding from 10 to 14 bu. per acre. Geo Hallis has just threshed thirty acres of Rus sian flax which gave 14+ bu. to the acre. Oscar Greaves also threshed twenty four acres of the same with a yield of 14 bu. Corn that was planted in good season is nearly all out of the way of frosts. Ole Oison lost his stable by Are a few days ago, including two horses, two calves and sixteen hogs. Loss in stock is covered by insurance. GRAND PRAIRIE. RUSH MO RE. The new church as Hushmore will be dedicated next Sunday morning at half past ten o'clock. Rev. J. Mar tin ef Mankato will conduct the ser vices. A cordial invitation is exten ded to everyobody. J. C. BIGELOW. Quite a splash of rain visited this vi cinity on Saturday last but, was hardly sufficient to moisten the baked earth. On Tuesday morning of last week Train No. 9, coming down the grade two miles east ran into a flock of sheep injuring and killing eighteen. Price of sheep has raised wonderfully since that time. They were owned bv Miss P.Baldwin. Threshing has fairly commenced and grain is coming in slowly. Average, as far as heard from, wheat 20 to 25 ou. per acre flax from 10 to 22 oats all the way from 50 to 100 bu. per acre. The corn crop which has heen so backward on account of the cold spring is now considered out of dauger and a large crop expected. Meeting Sunday evening was quite largely attended. Many of our people intend taking a trip to Rushuiore next Sabbath to be present at the dedication of the new church recently erected there. Mr. Kitman, of Minneapolis, who has been speeding some weeks here hunt ing, returned home on Monday after having bagged several hundred chick ens. M. O'Brien starts on his trip the 21st.

Mr. Meigs, the agent, reports ver few excursion tickets sold to the fail that have been hehi at different pine:•. near by since the first of the month People seem too busy to leave work e-•• i, for a day.

Slignt frost Tuesday night, the first in this vicinity. Miss Hattie Smith held teachers ex amination at School house Tuesday.

All branches of business will be represented by quanti ty and quality of goods never before seen in our thriving little city. The complaint thatrour grain dealers did not pay as much for grain as at Hock Rapids or Rushmore, sent a lot of grain away from us last week. This should not be surely Adrian deal ers can afford to pay as much for grain of all kinds as any town in S. W!. Min nesota and keep the money and trade at home. We understand, however, that this week prices are nearly or quite satisfactory. Clemons & Crandall's hardware store entered by a burglar Saturday night. The money drawer was piLd open and several dollars in change taken, and a §20 shotgun. Jack War ren WJIS arrested and confessed turning over the gun and some cutlery, and was sent to county jail till county court, by Justice Campbell, on Monday.

To which Hhe liberal ADVANCE man replies: Girard College, in Philadelphia, is so infidel that no clergyman is ever allow ed to enter its doors even to view the building. This provision in the Inquest was extreme, but the founder had suf fered domestic ruin at the hands of a clergyman and he wished to keep his magnificent college forever away from the influence of the clergy. The University of Virginia, the great educational center of the South, was founded by infidel Thomas Jeffer son, and he forbid forever any sectar ian preaching within its walls. Peter Cooper, the founder of Cooper's Insti tute, a man famous for his benevolence and his good works, is an infidel. We could multiply instances, but mention only a few of the conspicuous ones. Bey.

Low prices are inducements to try some of tlio many itiixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curat ire qualities, can afford only temporary relwf, and aro sure to deceive and disappoint ttie patient. Diseases of the throat and luntrs demand active and effective treatment and it is dan gerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may. while so trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use AVKU'S CiiKKKY PECTORAL, and you mav confidently expect the best results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known aud acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow.
