HURON, D. T., April 23.-At 2 O'Clock p.
m. the Dakota Republican convention as
sembled at the place designated in the call,
with 220 of the 229 delegates in their seats.
Maj Edwards assembled the platform, and at
the same time E. W. Caldwell took the stage,
and the former nominated j. o. B. Scoby as
temporary chairman, while the latter named
John Fl. King for the same Office. Both
were elected by acclamation equally loud,
and each took the platform and for quarter
of an hour pandemonium reigned supreme
and was only quoted by the announcement
that prayer would be offered by the pastor of
the church where the convention was being
held. At the end the excitement had sub
sided, and after eliminating the contesting
counties the result of the roll was lis votes
for John II. King, who was nominated by
the southern members, while the northern
faction, represented by j. o. B. Scoby, had
but 50 votes. Mr.. Scoby retired and com
mittee of fifteen on credentials and one of
five on rules were appointed. The conyen-
ton then took q recess for thirty minutes.
The most enthusiastic delegation comes
from Bookings with silver cornet band and
banner on which is printed dakota Greets
the Plumed knight which after the parade
was set up in the hall.
$3.50 p. m.-The half hour being up, the
convention reassembed and committee of
seven on organization was appointed, as the
committee on credentials had' finished its
labors. The convention adjourned till z

FERGUS FALLS, April 23.-Fergus Falls,
the city of magnifcentwater power, was alive
to-day with people, the occasion being the
holding Of the fifth congressional district and
the Otter Tail county conventions. Many OF
the delegates to the conventions arrived yes
terday and last night The corridors Of the
Grand hotel were crowded and the hotel ac-
commodations throughout the city, though
ample, were put to a severe test.
The county convention came first, being
called to order at the courthouse at II a. IN.
by j. W. Mason, chairman of the central
committee. The sixty-fve townships gave to
the convention 100 delegates, and
the work was to elect thirteen delegates to
the Moorhead convention, thirteen to the
congressional convention and seven to the
state convention. The convention was the
regular fixed thing. A caucus held the night
before had decided everything and all that
was necessary was to go through the motions.
E. E. Corliss, roaring politician OF the
grasshopper period, nominated Jacob Austin,
the Jonah of Otter Tail county politics, for
chairman. Mr.. Austin took his seat after
few illusions to himself. G. w. Boyington
was elected secretary.
The chair then pulled piece OF
paper from his pocket, from
which he read the names of the committees
on credentials and organization. After the
reports were made delegate pulled piece
of paper from his pocket and read motion
to the effect that a committee of five should
name the delegates to the three conventions.
The body of delegates obediently voted aye
to all this, and the following were the dele
gates duly elected:
State convention-Jacob Austin, o. Dahl,
Jas. Compton, c. D. Baker, E. A. Everts, c.
T. Sawbridge. A. Crogier.
Moorhead conventions-H. G. Page, E. E.
Corliss, G. W. Boyington, o. V. Blyberg, j..
c. Epler, J. W. Mason, w. S. Warner, NJ. E.
Clapp, C. L. Lewis, H. Back, G. D. Wright,
A. S. Blowers, H. E. Bowen.
The convention then adjourned.

PRINCE LEoPoLD.s AFFLICTIoN.
From London Letter.


Prince Leopold shared with all the Guelphs
one or two remarkable characteristics. He
was an excellent hnguist, speaking both
French and German like native; he had
an astonishinglY retentive memory for names
and never forgot a face once seen. In
this connection / may mention that the
Prince of Wales has very slight foreign ac-
cent; although his English is perfect, every
few sentences you can detect the faintest
shadow foreign accent in singular man
ner, which is far from being unpleasing, Civ
ing as it does an individuality to his speech
and yet he never mispronounces word.
None of his brothers have this peculiar tim
bre of voice, which doubtless comes from his
having passed more of the time ON the con-
tinent
There is still a good deal of mystery at
taching to the Duke of Albany's death.
Whether his fall brought on the fit, or wheth-
er his fit caused the fall, is still an undecided
question. 1t is also not clear whether the
fit was due to epilepsy or apoplexy. The al
most universal belief is that something is be-
ing kept back. The general weakness and
debility from which the Prince suffered was
principally, If not entirely the, owing to the
singular fact that he was skin short, that is,
instead having three cuticles, like most peo-
pie; he had only two. This rendered him
peculiarly liable to cold, and superinduced
general weakness of the system. His limbs
were giving away suddenly from sheer weak
ness, and he had wrenched and twisted his
right knee-joint so often as to make him
chronically slightly lame.

To Married Wo1ne7a.

Do remember that you are married to a
man and not god; be prepared for imper-
fections.
Do anticipate the discovery of your hus-
band that your are ''only a woman - if you
were not he would not care about you.
Do bear in mind that popular preacher
often has wife; have some regards for her
feelings.
Do, once in while, let your husband
have the last word it will crafty him and
be no particular loss to you.
Do let the sun into your home; man de-
ests dark rooms, and his taste is of more
Importance than YOUR carpets, curtains or
complexion.
Do be reasonable; it is great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but do try;
| reasonable women are rare-be rare.
Do resist your neighbours encroachments.
. Do refuse to tell your home worries to your
closest friend; they are nobody's business but
your own.
Do be digniied; keep your place and
make yeur associates and dependents keep
theirs.
Do remember that servants are made Of
the same material as you are; a little coarser
grained; perhaps, but the same in essentials;
zone touch of nature makes the whole world
kind.''
Do respect their feelings and attachments;
let the pretty parlor maid have her love
openly; she will have him anyway, and you
may save her a lifelong misery.
Do forget your clothes as much as pos
sible.
Do try and forget yourself; as for your
husband, forget that you married him, and
| and remember that he married you;. he will
then probably try the reverse.
| Do if friend drops in occasionly, leave
things just they are. If the tidy is off the
chair back, what does it matter? A news
paper on tho floor even, is an absolute dis
grace.
Do let him read the newspaper at the
breakfast table. 1t is unsociable, but then
! it is only trife after all, and he likes it.
Do let him know more than you do once
in while. 1t keeps up his self respect,
and you will be none the worse for admit
ting that you are not actually infallible.
Do pay your servants regularly.
Do keep accounts; do live within your al
lowance; do, for the sake of everybody,
yourself included, know exacly how much
you have to spend, and save something out
of it if you can.
Do date your letters.
Do have an open fire if you can manage it,
and do have the hearth swept up every time
Goals are put on.
Do be courageous; do be self-respecting !;
do be sensible woman, and not mere in
sane creature, pretty to look at and of no
future use.
Do wear real jewlery or none at all.
Do read something better than novels or
cook books.
Do remember that the interest of life is
not centered in your home circle; do fama-
larize yourself with outside events.
Do read something in the papers besides
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge Of what is going on in foreign
countries.
Do be a companion to your husband, if he
is a wise man; and if he is not, try to make
him become your companion; raise his STAN
dard; do not let him lower yours.
Do respect your husbands prejudices; do
respect his relations, especially his mother;
she is not the less his mother because she is
your mother-in-law; she loved him before you
did.

BLUE EARTH COUNTY.
The Delegates to the District Con-
YentiOn Believed to be
for Blaine.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


MANKATo, Mimi, April 23.-The city pre-
sents lively appearance this evening, with
the streets filed with people and the Ger
mania band playing in front Of the rooms
where the Episcopal fair is being held,
while upon the walks and about the Manka-
to house the delegates to the congressional
district convention swarm. The counties of
MOBILES, Rock Pipestone, Faribault, Waseca,
Martin and others are already on hand in
full force, and about every other county has
candidate for delegate. Among the leading
ones are w. G.. Ward, of Waseca,
who will probably have no opposition, while
Senator Crosby, of Mobiles, and Frank E.
Day, of Martin, will struggle with each other
to fiji the other place on the quota. The
usual sprnkling of federal officeholders is on
hand. Sim Childs heads the Faribault
county delegation, and Smith, of the Worth
ington land Office, is also down. 1t is said
that Sim Childs wanted to 60 to Chicago, but
this has been denied. The Blue Earth
county delegation, the largest county out Of
twenty which comprise the district, will no
doubt present a candidate, and of course
they ought to name one of the delegates.
Everybody seems DESTROYS of the honor.
When the convention comes to ballot things
will be lovely.
The undoubted sentiment of the conven-
ton is for Blaine, and while they may not in
struct for him none but Blaine men need
apply as delegates. Ward is the most open
and outspoken one thus far, and as he was
one of Minnesota's delegation at Cincinnati,
eight years ago, which stood by Blaine, there
would seem to be an eternal fitness of things
in sending him.
j. A. James win be named by the Blue
Earth county Republicans as candidate for
delegate to Chicago.
