PBICE, 1.50 PLH YEAR IN ADVANCE. WE were glad to learn upon our return from the Editorial Excursion that the Farmers' Institute at War ren was a complete success. Supt. Hoverstad, whom we met at Crooks ton, expressed himself as well pleased* with the large attendance and great interest shown in the meeting by the farmers as well as by the citizens of Warren. It is very proper that the dwellers in the town and the country work hand in hand in a matter of this kind, as anything that will edu cate, elevate and help the farmers will also be beneficial to the towns people. Many new ideas and sugges tions were scattered about like seeds which will in time spring up and bear fruit in improved methods of farming. Agriculture is getting to be more and more of a science, and in recent years there has been a great deal inquiry and investigation to learn how farm ing may be made more productive. The matter of mixed farming has re ceived a great deal of attention, and now when we see the price of wheat fall in propoition to the rainfall, happy indeed is the faimer who has other farm products than wheat to dispos3 of during the year. And even though the wheat crop bhould wither in youth or he struck at maturity by the relentless hail-stone, the farmer who has learned to diversify can turn to his pig stile, his sheep pen and stock yard for solace and gain. The American farmer is the most impor tant factor in our civilization to-day. He more than any other class sways the destinies of the republic. He lives close to nature's heart, from which he draws inspiration for a true and noble life. To the tiller of the soil this country owes much of its great ness and its wealth. The United States can produce enough foodstuff to supply the world, and statesmen say that the nation that feeds the world lules the world. Farmers' In stitutes are held in order that the greatness, prosperity and happiness of this nation may be still further augmented. Pithy, Pointed, and Pertinent. The last Filipino general has sur rendered himself and his forces, and the only rebellion against Old Glory now is that is the meeting room of the Boston "'aunties." We don't suppose that Senator El kins meant to tread on any particu lar toes when he said that the next re publican candidate for President would not be a Senator. So many Senators are considered possible can didates that his remarks cannot be consideied personal. That we buy as well as sell outside the United States is shown by the fact that we paid in 1900 for import ed agricultural products the tidy sum of 420,000,000 Sehator Depew has no reason to feel chdgiined. He did the country a service by giving President McKinley a quickly griped opportunity to lay the thud temi ghost for good and all The republic an party doesn't need to reply to attacks upon the policy of MeKinley'fe administiation they are fully answered by the condition of ev ery branch ot industry and commerce inthecountry. Our prosperity isn't in the next State it is everywhere, and everybody knows it is due to carry ing out the republican ideas. Maj. Gen. John C. Bates, who has recentlyreturned from thePhilippines, said of the condition of the array: "Our troops are in excellent condi tion. We had no more sickness than one would naturally expect from a tropical climate, and 1 think no more than we would have if our troops were stationed in the Gulf States here." As soon as quiet is thoroughly re stored all over the Philippines the Census Bureau will take a complete census of the islands, which will be the first ever taken, as under the Spanish rule the population was al ways estimated. If every battleship constructed con tinues to increase the speed record, as they have done for some time, we shall eventually have something very swift in that line. Dowie, the humbug now posing in Chicago as Elijah, is preaching an early end of the world, but he still insists upon taking up a collection at every meeting, NELSON-JOHNSON. Mr. F. E. Nelson and Miss Augusta Johnson Harried flonday Evening. The wedding bells have rang again in our city and two more of our young people have joined their lives in th,e happy bonds of wedlock, and will travel the journey of life together. Last Monday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Johnson oc curred the wedding of their daughter Augusta to Frans E. Nelson. Both of the young people are well known in Warren and vicinity, and each has a large list of personal friends among both old and young. Mr. Nelson is our popular merchant tailor. The wedding ceremony was celebrated in the handsome parlor of the Johnson residence, and promptly at six o'clock in the evening the bridal party filed into the room. The groom was ac companied by Garfield Johnson, brother of the bride, and Miss Malin da Johnson was in attendance upon the bride. Mr. C. J. Johnson, the bride's father, led the bride to the altar, and Rev. A. Mattson tied the hymeneal knot. The room was tastily decorated with flowers and evergreens, and a large number of friends crowded the room to witness the beautiful wed ding ceremony of the Swedish Luth eran church. At the close of the cere mony and after the numerous con gratulations had been tendered the happy couple, those assembled were ushered to a bowery that had been erected on the spacious lawn, where the wedding supper had been spread'. The happy couple were the recipients of a large number of useful and orna mental presents, in appreciation of the esteem in which they are held. Mr. Nelson has erected a fine resi dence on Bridge street, and as soon as the finishing touches are put upon it they will occupy it. The SHEAF ex tends congratulations and wish for Mr. and Mrs. Nelson a long and pros perous journey through life, and may the great Roadmaker clear their paths from the ruts and stumps, and leave for them a smooth passage.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest salp of any medicine* in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers' never thought of us ing anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors svere scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendi citis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flow er to clean out the system apd stop fermentation of undigested food, reg ulate the action of the liver, stimu late the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headache and other aches. You on ly need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there^is nothing serious the matter with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac at the local drug stores. Mr. W. J.
