TI1E CROPS. luquiiy among a number of farmers during the past week develops informa tion to the effect that all crops are do ing well except flax. From many quar ters flux is reported as not doing well, and the damage in some quarters is laid to a small 1»j:u1 colored cut worm which infests the ground this season. In other quarters the wild mustard or 'kale" as some call it, is usurping the tields. Corn is doing remarkably well, notwithstanding the cool season, al though the two slight frosts in June checked its growth somewhat. The grass crop, which this year is to be utilized to an extent unknown be fore, is up to the best of former years, and hundreds of thousands of tons will be put up in the radius tributary to Worthington. POPULA TIOX. Fairmont's population is 88S, no more, not one less. It represents a gain of 347 since 1SS0. There are few towns in Southern Minnesota with as good a record of growth. Winuebago City has none backward Wiudotn only gained 197 and Jackson 108 in the saiu'e time.—Fairmont Sentinel. But hold on brother Day we will go you one butter. Pipestone has during the time gained 010 by actual count and the census is not yet completed. Assessor Wharton has already 1,132 names enrolled, while in 1S80 there was only T12 —Pipestone Sfar. Worthington's population, according to the returns just made by Assessor Grundsten and given in a recent issue of the Advance, is 995, no more, not one less. It represents a gain of 359. The population of surrounding towns as given by the census of 1880 was as 1'ollows: Wimlom 413 Fairmont 541 Pipestone 22:2 St. .Limes 434 Jackson oiil Worthington (»3(i Luverne GUT JIadelia 4Sfl Heron Lake 2-G It should be known in speaking of lie population of towns like Pipestone and Luvornu that tiu-y take in the whole township, having but one as sessor for beth, while Worthington has one assessor for the village and one for the township. The above report of 99-3 fa for the village only. Adding the township, as Pipestone and Luverne do, we can make a much better show ing. In no other medicinal preparation have tho results o.! the most intelligent stuly and scientific inquiry been 8o steadily and progressively utilized as in Ayer's Saisaparilla. It leans the list as a truly scientific preparation for all blood diseases. 8WISDI.ERS. The Currie Minnesotian says: From all around us we hear reports of traveling swindlers, such as plow men, lightning-rod and insurance men, package dry goods peddlers, etc.. and it seems that they lind plenty of suck ers to take their bait, sdthough people are frequently warned by the newspa pers. If people would trade only with their home dealers, they would not set sold. There is nothing that they wish to buy but the home dealers can supply just as well as any oue else aud the profit be left at home to help build up the country. This is well said and is true. And yet we believe in "free trade" in this respect. People have a right to choose when they will buy and from whom. The point to warn farmers against is signing their names to any paper presented by any itiuerant agent or traveling man. Farmers ought to know better than to sign their names to anything presented by a stranger, and most of them do know better, but every year we hear of new swin dles and a list «f victims.' The Sibley Gazette thus speaks of a new swindle: We wish to warn farmers in this vi einity against anew way of swindling. It is played upon farmers only, and if any of our Osceola friends get caught after the publication of this notice, it will be their own fault. The plan of working the swindle is this: A man goes through the country gathering statistics about the yield of your farm last year. He tills up a blank state ment with the information that you give him, and then just to make it ap pear authentic he has to put your name at the bottom of the statement. Of course it is only a statement of your CQps, and will do no injury, and un less you were "on to the racket" you might very willingly sign the paper as requested. And then after a time a second part in the transaction comes to light. You receive a letter that a note is left at a certain place for col lection. Then it dawns upon you that the fellow who took your crop report so manipulated the document as to make a note of it that you could not avoid paving. Look out for this kind of a thing. BOILS AND CAltBUXCLES. These are the volcanoes of the human system. They proceed from impure blood and from a riotous demoraliza tion of the digestive organs. They are annoying, painful and sometimes dan gerous. They can be driven out by toning up the system, and this can best be done by the use of Brown's Iron Bitters. Messrs Handy & Bull nan, druggists. Annapolis, Md., say, "We selLlots of Brown's Iron Bitters. AH who use it seem pleased. We hear not one complain t." VOL. XIII.

Grant's spiritual adviser, thus tells how he was cured: 3Iy health failed, and kept steadily failing, until at last 1 was sick unto death. Medical uien of high repute were called iu consultation, and then others and others, until a small regi ment of doctors had diagnosed my case aud lilled my body with drugs. They differed widely as to the nature of the disease aud its proper treatment, and among them managed to endow me with almost all the organic ills tlnit llesh is heir to. Finally they managed to agree on the point that the hour of tuy death \v«s near at hand. After all hope seemed gone my dear wife decided to make oue last effort. Without my knowledge she cut oif a lock of my hair and took it to alady iu New York, who was said to have a mysterious gift. This lady belonged to a highly respect ed family, and never exercised her so called powers of clairvoyance for any mercenary end. Taking the lock of hair in her haud, she shortly afterward passed into a state of trance, and whita apparently sleeping, murmured: "'Gall stones he must drink sweet oil and seidlitz powders." Then she ttwoke, and my wife came to ine with the sto ry, and pleaded with me to follow the advice. Among all the medical sug gestions, or assertions, rather, a possi bility that the trouble arose from gall stones had been omitted. I treated the clairvoyant's dream an absurdity, but after long urging, agreed to take the harmless medicines out of consid eration for my wife's anxiety, and her desire to leave no chance untried. I swallowed a quantity of the sweet oil and the powders as prescribed, and to my astonishment and delight was soon rid of twenty-eight gallstones. My ill ness disappeared, my strength return ed, and since then I have been a com paratively sound and hearty man. The lady who brought me this good service died, and some of the clergy hesitated to perform the rites of burial. I glad ly accepted the duty, and over her cof fin acknowledged the debt I owed her. No man can satisfactorily explain the mysterious mental power of the wo man. But that she had been given some force beyond the reach of most other mortals I cannot and do not doubt. A WALKING SKELETON. Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicsburg, Fa., writes: "1 was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and re duced to a walking skeleton. Got a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, which did me so much good that I bought a dol lar bottle. After using three bottles, found myself once more a man, com pletely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, aud a gain in flesh of 48 lbs." Call at C. VV. Smith's Drug Store and get a free trial bottle of this cer tain cure for all Lung Diseases. Large bottles §1.00. 3 II AIL ROAD NEWS. THE FARGO SOUTHERN. The Watertowu Courier says: A Fargo special of June 16th says: The annual meeting of the Fargo Southern Railroad Company was held to day. H. E. Sargent, John W. My ers, T. V. Wads worth and Philip Wadswortti were elected directors for the ensuing year. Plans are being con sidered for the extension of the road to Flandreau or some other place in the immediate vicinity, and in view of the early completion of these arrangements the uumber of directors was reduced from thirteen to seven. II. E. Sargent was re-elected president, T. W. Wads worth of Chicago, secretary aud treas urer. The reports show the road in most excellent condition, the equip ment complete and the construction finished with the exception of eighteen miles of ballast, which will soon be done. There seems no doubt that the southern extension will be built before fall. Itch, Prairie Mange, and Scratches cured iu 30 minutes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion. This never fails. Sold by C. W.

The beautiful weather furnishes an endless theme to our young folks lor Sunday evening conversation.

Few newspapers in towns of this size can show up a belter advertising patronage than the News (no patent meaicine ads. either), but all borne advertisements. We have ten col umns of standing ads besides a good batch of locals each week, which speaks volumes for the enterprise of our business men. not a firm iu town nut what is represented in the columns of the News. We shall give a review of our busi ness men shortly. ADRIAN. From the Guardian: Jaincs Bartow has finished his house in Grand Prairie and it is now one of the best in that sec tion of the town. Senator Crosby spent several days in Adrian this week, much to the gratification of liii many friends here. It is hard work to make a good local paper these dull times. There is absolutely nothing transpiring out of the every day routine of bus iness. Our former townsman, T. G. Newell, is having fifty acres broke on his quarter section, three miles northeast of town. Messrs loe, Applv and Laue are iloing it with their "little plows." We are pleased to see Mrs. L. S.

John says wait ti:la while ago and he will show the sports something iu the trotting Hue. C. O. Daily, Esq., of Dixon, 111., who recently visited our town with a view to locating here in the practice of law. but went farther west to "grow up with the country," has returned and will no doubt cast his lot wi'h us. There is room aud a demand Tor another attorney here, and we, in behalf of our people, extend Mr. D. a cordial welcome. A cyclone struck town on Monday night that hustled things .around lively, judging from the way tilings were scattered about town the next morning. A steam thresher, standing back of Slade's shed, came to a halt iu front of F. J. Porter's lumber yard office, and several wagons were blown some distance from where they were left the night before. one of them coming down astrrie the ridgepole of the Central House barn. Parties who were up «nd witnessed the blow out say that things sai.ed about very grace fully. The Farmers' Review sums up the prospect of the winter wheat crop as unfavorable and a large shortage may be looked for. The Pioneer Press has information from 1,000 points and puts the Miunesota spring wheat crop at 85 per cent of last year's average yield. The "gift of healing" is now calltd "Christian science" down east. When science becomes divided up into sects pulling different ways people will not know whether to depend on Nature any more, lly-the-way, is Astronomy a Christian, a Mohammedan or Budd hist science? What is Geology, Chris tian or Heathen? Bro. Burt Day, of the Jackson Re public, has come to time. His ty-other Frank, of the Fairmont Sentinel, says: Strangers who saw Burt Day in Jack sou laot Wednesday get the idea from his appearance that he owned the town and had a large mortgage upon the county. It is a boy this time, but it has red hair and only weighs nine pounds. Fiddlesticks! The Laketield Citizen says that a north and south road is to be built from Spirit Lake north through Wil der. The capital of J: ckson county is also to be removed there, if indeed a new county isn't created out of Jack eon and Cottonwood. McCOItMICK STEEL HARVESTER AND BINDER.

From a few spots whieh ap peared at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure yon he was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine.

Tho humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to causa the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SAiammu In April last, and have used it regularly sinee that time. My oondltion began to improve at once.
