He did not call the attention of
the farmers to the fact that wheat
in the west is rated at 60 cents per
bushel and that the farmer is COM
PEELED to take that price for his wheat
and to pay two prices for manufac-
tured articles that he must buy.
He should have explained further
that the pledges of his party to reduce
taxation were insincere and were
made merely to catch votes.
Mr.. Staggers should have said that
four-sears ago his party promised the
workingmen that if Garfield was
elected they should have steady
work and high wages. Has that
promise been made good?
They are trying to play the same
game in this campaign.
We are now living under repub-

Possibly they will wait until after
the election and then start up "more
prosperous" than ever.

calling the Democratic party the

lungs on July II, last, and since that time
he may be said to have kept his bed, and it
was only his ragged constitution that kept
MN so long alive. He was about reduced to
skeleton. For the past few days his death
was expected hourly. During his life Dan
Mccarthy was noted as being one of the
foremost athletes of this section, and although
he is OF heavy looking, his strength and
agility were noticible. Something over two
years ago he obtained a position on the police
force, and during his term of service, Dan
made not single enemy. He was the
first one of the force with whom we became
acquainted, and we always found him a
most oblging officer. He was nearly twenty
eight years of age and was born in Canada,
but his parents moved to Saltwater when he
was very young, so he may be called Still
water boy. Everyone knew Dan, and the
sympathy of the people has been with him
and his wife during his long sickness, all do
ing something for his comfort. He was one
of the original members of the Minnesota
Chief Base Bail club, and his fine play tended
much to the success which followed the old
club. Some days before his death be
asked for Chief Shortall, and he requested
him to have his pail bearers from the police
force, which request was readily granted.
He leaves a wife and child. The funeral
will most likely take place tomorrow, and il
win be largely attended, as his family is one
one of the most respected in the city. The
police force will all attend.

trict, pretending the counties of Chi

successor to Judge Crosby, of the district

ton to order at 1915 p. M, the delegates
from Goodhue county being in caucus. After

gates from that county did not intend to
take any part in the proceedings, and Mr. J.

be appointed temporary chairman, which was
carried, ana s. c. Norton, of Pine county.

On motion, the chair appointed G. F. Sa-

The report of the committee on credentials
was adopted.
On motion the temporary officers were
made permanent officers.
Il was moved that Judge Crosby be nom
mated for the Office of district Judge to sue
coed himself.
Before the motion was put, T. ". Wilson,
one of the GoOdhue county delegates, asked
TO be allowed to make an explanation of the
reason why the delegates from that county
took the position they did. and leave being
granted, he sSid, that when an additional
judge was granted for this district, it was
tacitly understood, and an argument was en-
tered into that the claims of Goodhue county
would be recognized and at this time it
would have the opportunity of having judge
located in the county. So far as Judge
Crosby was concerned, the Tery best feeling
existed among the bar of the county to him.
and he believed that good feeling was re-
ciprocal. He was a good and impartial
judge. Il is most likely known 10 the mem
bers of this convention that the Republican
convention of Goodhue county had made
nomination for district judge in the person
OF Mr.. Wiiiiston, a resident of Red Wing.

Railroad Fref0Lf.

The suggestion in this item from the Elan
drau Enterprise might be proftably considered
by almost any Of the great railroad lines ::
The prices of nearly everything, whether
farm produce or merchandise, have dropped
in marked degree, but railroad freights
haven't weakened percePtibly in this section
In fact the margin on wheat between here
and Chicago is larger than il wes four years
ago. The railroads could avert a
great deal of hostility if they would drop the
charges on wheat few cents bushel while
the price is so low. Legislation may possibly
do something to help the farmers out, but
We believe that the surest way to eircumyent
the railroads is TO raise as little wheat as pos
sible, and TO turn attention largely TO cattle,
hogs, butter and wool. As to these produc-
tons the freight takes a far smaller proper
ton of the price than with wheat or other
grain.

Peel, young farmer, being badly manned.
Peel was 'fooling with gun" and in trying
to bore load of shot out by means of a
screw attached to ''ramrod' he got the
ramrod fastened and could not draw it out
OF the barrel. A happy thought struck him.
He would pour some powder into the gun
and blow the old ramrod into kingdom

rel and dropped lighted match in also An
explosion occurred. Peel went in one di-
rection, the ramrod another and the gun
another. The gun was torn al to pieces and
so were Peel's legs.'
