form of r. G. Evans go swinging along
Nicollet avenue. He always carries about
with him recollections of that Republican
conference at Window hall. in which his
oratund voice was raised in behalf of the
young men. He is president of the Union
league, and inasmuch as the league was
father of the improved caucus scheme, he
was in favor of the scheme. But he was
met by that adroit old schemer Col. II. l..
Gordon, and in the contest the official adj
vocate of young men was no match for the
willy veteran and hero of hundred hard
fought political schemes. Evans made
a mistake that time. He took the
name of young men in vain. Don't
he know and don't everybody know that
young men bolted the Republican ticket by
hundreds last spring for no other reason
than that they meant to declare that hereafter
they propose to have voice in naming the
candidates? They set the seal of condem-
nation upon the back office methods of the
politicians and the kid-glove caucuses of
just such organizations as the league. And
yet Col. Hicks pleaded eloquently for the
young men and MIR. Evans Numbered out
the mandates of the league. G. p. Preston.

The following account of terrible
crime is from the Pennington Times:
q Sheriff Jokerst came through here
yesterday morning and gave the foi-
lowing meager details of most helm
Gus murder, of which Miss Annie
Vaeth, daughter of Peter Wealth, who
lives about twelve miles this side of
Ste. Genevieve, was the victim. Last
Tuesday, while the mother was away
from home at one of the neigh boris and
the men were at work some dis
lance from the house, Annie was foully
murdered and her body thrown into
the cistern. When found by the family
the head was cut and bloody, but
whether the girl had been ravlshed by
her murderer before being killed was
not known, as the inquest and examin-
alton had not been held when Sheriff
Jokerst left. Some of the bureau or
chest drawers had been disturbed. as
if robbery might have been the object.
During the day man went to the
house and asked Annie if she could
prepare something for him and another
man to eat, and told her he would back
after awhile for it. One of her brothers
came to the house, after the man had
gone, for lunch, and she told him
about the fellow being there, and that
he was dressed in dark clothes and had
q dark moustache; but he evidently
did not think anything about the mat
ter and after eating his lunch went
back to work. 1t is supposed that the
man and probably a companion return
Ell and committed the dastardly crime.
Sheriff Jokerst had the measure of
mans track which he had traced from
the house III this direction and to with
in short distance of town to the north.
He procured a fresh horse and started
on his trail"
