they will add to their arrangements such addi-

Bile, between the hours of and . o'clock on Sun.
day afternoon, the house was struck by light
ming. Peter Botz and young girl named Baker
were instantly killed. Mr.. Botz, his wife and

The republicans of Minnesota hcld their
state convention on Wednesday and nomin-
ated Mr.. Pillsbury for Governor, and adopted
a platform, which the Times thus correctly
describes:
The platform is a marvel of ambiguity. 1t
declares in favor of every good thing on the
face of the earth, but yet leaves a score of
loop-holes through which evasion without
qualification can be brought about. Il Is one
of the most adaptable of all platforms, drawn
10 suit all classes of people. 1t favors free
trade and protection, gold currency and cur
rency OF rags; indorses Grants admInistra.
tion and slaps his third-term aspirations
squarely in the face; in fact is on both sides
of every question that has two sides to it,
The creators of the platform have distinguish.
ed themselves by declaring IN favor of every
antagonlstic principle in national politics.
and thus have offended no one.

condition of the wheat crop, and they are tar
from as encouraging as those it published
from the same localities week ago. The
recent rains have seriously impaired the
grain. That portion of it harvested has been
wet, and Is, in many localities, rottins in the
shock Those farmers who were fortunate
enough to have their grain stacked will suffer

for even half crop ofwintcr wheat. In
less the weather should improve there Is like
ly to be considerable loss in the spring wheat
crop from the same cause.
