brewery folks to ship beer to Dakota.
Dakota is now supplied exclusively with
Milwaukee beer. Rock Island beer is as

a Happy Man

One of the happiest men on this round
terrestrial globe today, is Major james
Beardsley. Jim has great reason to re-
joice. Yesterday, at the republican
convention, he succeeded in getting that
body to declare for Logan, though, to
tell the truth, the convention at first bit
at the bait throwed out TO them by the
genial Jim and his bench men thoroughly.
But having once got taste, the conven-
ton gobblcd it down, Major Beardsley
is a great man. He knows more about
things political in this state than does old
Long Jones. and that is saying great
deal. Ii we ever come to the conclusion
to run for president, we shall bespeak
the Majors aid in our behalf

A Split,

The contest for the collectorship nemi-
nation last night in the republican con-
vention was one of the most bitter and
holly contested one in the history of the
republican party in this city. 1t will be
noticed that Krell finally received the
nomination, receiving just % votes, which
was declared to be majority Both the
other candidates were very hostile towards
krell. 1t is said that they will not,
neither will their friends, support Krell
They declare that he was not the strongest
man, and in no way deserves the nomi-
nation, but now that he has received the
nomination they would like TO know how
he is going to be elected. Said one of
the disgruntled candidates this morning,
''Krell is not a popular man in his own
party, let alone the masses of the people.
He will get scooped so bad that he won't
know what's the matter with him the next
morning after election" Every indication
points to the election of Louis Oheweiler,
and it is to be hoped that he will be tri-
umphantly elected.
