THE FARMER IS A CRANK.
The farmer is a crank because he
«ants to borrow money at 2 per cent.
Instead of 12 lo 10 per cent. Because
he wants the government to deal with
him on the same basis that it deals with
other men. Because ho wauls more
than 4.7 rents a bushel for wheat and
seven rents a pound for rotten. Because
lie kirks against paying 7A per Cent, of
the taxes whun hr owns 25 per rent of
the properly and half of that mortgaged.
Ileeause he protests against a condition
wliii h condemns the real wealth produrer
loa life of toil, while tlie ipnoulaler lives
in luxurious esse. Benins« he hns dis
covered that l*e lias been deceived by
his (««lineal friends < Tv a»d ira» rvmelud*
ed to vole liidu,H*iideiilly. Beraose he
bus assumed to know' any thing at all
shout (Milllirs. Because he refuses tn be
robbed and I lien vole for the robber,
tteacause he lias made up his mind to
ipiil being a fool. Oh, yes, the farmer
Is u crank! He was all, he was every
tiling, as long us he done Just what
the |m. 11 tlrlixus told him tn do lint
whun he derided Ip heroine something
of a politician himself it was "Just too
awfully awful!" Because he wanted to
.to his own thinking and acting he is
tlie crankiest kind of a crank, lb' ought
to go on and support the bosses infill
ortlces ss of old; allow them to steal him
|ioor and then go to the poor house,
wouldn't he a crank then.—Boise Dein

The first case on the docket in
Judge Phillips' court was a cane of burg

were committed around the neighbor
hood and suspicion centered on Frank
Keel, r. Sutton and Hill f#owe, of Wil

As yet he lias been unable lo
give bonds and is still in the custody of
Constable Stuart. He will have another
hearing tomorrow before Judge Fulton
on a charge of having looted the Gill
school house. Public opinion is some

Stephen Dempsey was short u few curl

broken into, u bridle tukcu from Murray's
ham and one from IVm. Parish 's. horse,
which was hitched on the street, and a
few days before these depiodntionx were
committed the residence of J. M. Big
ham was also looted und everything in
it taken except a bible, and Biglmm says
he would send that to the thieves If he
knew who they were. This pilfering
