THE GRAIN IS OF POOR QUALliY

Farmers are wondering where the seed oats for the coming spring sowing are to come from. Last year was a very poor year for this crop. The season was late, then too hot, and the result was rust on the straw and a very short crop of grain. As a result of conditions many fields were not harvested at all, and other fields were simply mowed. This leaves the supply of grain below the normal. And even then the w’orst Is not said. What grain of this kind can be had locally Is said to be. except in rare instances, of low vitality not at all likely to grow even in good conditions, and almost certain to fail If conditions are adverse. To bring seed In will be a drain on the pocket book, as seed oats are high everywhere.

at the meeting, but he excused himself and left before the Improvement question was taken up. The Democratic members of the council say that they are heartily In favor of improvements. They furthey say, however, that they are not in favor of letting improvement work proceed with James T. Denny as civil engineer. At least two of the Republican councilmen have stated on numerous occasions that they would never vote for more street improvements as long as Mr. Denny was In charge of engineering the work. Incompetency is charged against the city engineer.' The question of replacing him by another civil engineer came up last fall. Councilmen say that the work done last,

summer was very unsatisfactory and J that more complaints were made , • by the taxpayers on account of the errors In grades and lines of the walks than of any other feature of

the work.

JOHNSON AGATN. The action of 'the Minnesota State Democratic Committee in voting to place the name of Governor Johnson •before the national convention as a candidate for the presidential nomination in opposition to Bryan, will complicate what had seemed a very simple matter. Uohnson is a strong man, and we are glad that the Democratic party* tias in reserve such a man. We still believe, however, that Bryan is the logical candidate. The campaign will be fought out along lines that are the result of the work and the planning of the Nebraska man. The Democratic party has been reorganized and revitalized under his direction and influence. A large number of the rank and file of the Democratic party look upon Bryan as a personal friend as well as a political leader, and would be bitterly disappointed if he should not be nominated. All believe him safe and sane, honest and upright, and it ] Is but fair that he should have the j benefit of the public sentiment that through fifteen years he alone has been building up and intensifying. The time has come full circle. The j things he first declared necessary In ; our national life, the things then j hooted at and feared, have become a part of the belief of every thinking !

Another jury was also selected Fri. morning to hear the case of the Wise Furnace Company against W. H. Miller and Arthur Kohl. The case is being tried before T. T. Moore as special judge. A stenographer was brought from Brazil, hut not reaching here till noon the jury was excused till 1:30. This case is one in which the Furnace Company makes suit on an account alleged to be due and unpaid. They demand the account and interest thereon to the sum total of three hundred and fifty dollars. Mr. Miller alleges in his counter claim that the furnaces purchased were not as warranted, that when placed in residences they did not do the ■work guaranteed, and that as a result he was Injured in his capacity as a furnace man. He holds that the amount sued for is not due because of the failure of the warrant. Late Saturday the jury in the case of the Wise Furnace Company against Wm. Miller and Arthur Kohl under the firm name of Wm. H. Miller & Company, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $212.93. The judgment was found against Wm. H. Miller, but not against Arthur Kohl. In this case the furnace company sued to collect on account. Mr. Miller claimed that the furnaces on which the account was due were

proper grade.

When the council Inspected the work done on Locust Street last fall, Spencer Mahan, the councilman from the third ward, who introduced the resolution for the improvements of the streets which were passed last night, Is said to have severely criticised the work of the city engineer and say that he never again would vote for improvements to be made under the direction of Mr. Denny. Mr. Mahan, Mr. Donner and Mr. Graham, it is said, have all expressed the belief that Mr. Denny was incompetent to do the work. And yet they voted for the Improvements last

night.

The ordinances for the improvement of Hanna, Ohio, Sycamore. Illinois, Depot and Main Streets were passed last night. Remonstrances were filed against the proposed improvements on Depot and Illinois and remonstrances agains* the proposed improvements on the other streets probably will be filed later. The street improvement matters were the only things of Importance done at the meeting of the council last night. The other business transacted was of the routine order. It is said that when the matter of appointing another engineer was mentioned to the Mayor by the Republican councilmen he said “Nothing Doing.”' The Mayor then began to work his political "rabbits foot” and if to be judged by their actions of last night he soon had the beligerants in line and willing to “jump through the hoop” or do any thing the big chief demanded. And then when it came time to act the councilmen did not have the nerve to vote their own sentiment.
