The Republican congressional COM
mittee of the Third district, of which
Col. Simmons, of Red Wing, is chair
man, will meet at the Merchants to-day
to issue the call for the Third district
convention. The members of the COM
mittee will arrive this forenoon, and
will probably be able to give out some
| interesting information on VINO is to be
the coming congressional candidate.
| There are already four men in the field.
Lieut.. Gov A. E. Rice, ofkWillmar; Cor
! don E. Cole, of Faribault: Joel p. Heat
wole, of Mortified, and Capt. A. Ii.
strong with the soldier element. Cor
don E. Cole is looked upon with much
| favor, while Gov. Rice will make a very
strong run. Joel Heatwole would stand
good show if the other country editors
| of the Third district would let him
| alone. Editor Herbert, Of Red Wing,
| does not want to go up against Judge
| Macdonald again.

But the meeting of the committee to-
| day will have no particular bearing on
congressional candidates. All it has to
do is to fix upon date and place for
| the convention which is to select two
delegates to the national convention.
Since the Blaine campaign the selection
of two delegates by each congressional
district separately for the state conven-
ton has been the rule with the Repub-
A hof thn
ton got into a row over the unit rule,
and the present method of selecting
delegates was the outcome. The two
delegates will probably be Lieut.. Gov.
Rice and Joel HeatWOle, as neither
Gordon E. Cole nor B. 3. Herbert stand
| right on the tariff question for the Re
publicans.
E.E. Corliss, of Fergus Falls. chair
man of the Fifth district congressional
committee, was at the Merchants yeSter-
day afternoon. He has decided to call a
meeting of his committee at Fergus
| Falls, April IL. Mr.. CorllSs was reticent
about politics. He has good reason to
| be, as he is candidate himself.
The portly eX-lieutenant governor, A.
| Barto. of Sank Center, was at the Mer-
chants the other day, smiling all over.
| HeiS candidate to succeed Knute Mel
| son. When he was asked what Charley
| Kindred, Of Brainerd, WAS going to do
| this year, if he wasn't going to come out
| as a candidate also, the governor an
swered significantly, ''This is not Kin
| dred'S year,
If that is so it means that there is not
to be a repetition of the old faction
fight of 1884, when Charley Kindred
| made it pretty warm for Knute Nelson.
! Charley Gilman was the ''little Nor
wegian's" first lieutenant, and pulled
| Knute through. Kindred was mad. and
| has been so ever since. If he should
| choose to leave railroad booming alone
and make another fight he would prob
ably make it pretty warm for Buchanan,
| Barto, CorlisS, ComStock, Stearns, SUIT
phin, OF anybody else who might be
lucky enough to have big backing.
Lieut. Gov. A. e. Rice was at the
| Merchants yesterday. Gov. Rice is con-
| sidered to be the best parlimentarian in
the state. BY his sharp tactics, and by
| Selling the opportunity at the right
| moment, his generalship on the floor re-
| suited in Senator Sabin's nomination.
| Gov. Rice is equally as good presiding
officer, and it was due to his rulings that
| the last senate, nearly all new men in
| the legislative field, pulled through in
| such good order. He does not say that
| he is candidate for governor or con-
gress, but he world accept renomi-
nation fer lieutenant governor if it came
| his way.
Gov. Rice says he does not belong to
tbat If ha did hn would no
| like Brother JONES'" story rather old
| but good, of whom the handsome parlia
| mentarian told in illustration. Brother
Jones went and joined the Episcopal
| church. He broke up that. Then he
| Joined the Presbyterian church. In
| short time he diSorganiZed that. Then
| he became member of the Methodist
| flock. One day the pastor was surprised
| to see two members of his flock call
upon him simultaneously, both wearing
sad expression. ''What are you think
ing about that makes you look so down.
| cast, brother?" he asked Brother Smith.
| 81 am thinking of Brother JONES'" was
the reply. ''Why, that's stranger re-
marked the pastor as he put,on a very
| thoughtful air. 81 was thinking of him
he asked of the other brother. ooh,
/
! ing of Brother Jones too, and last night
l prayed about him, and it was such
wicked prayer, that l hope | shall be
forgiven. as L never expect to make an
other appeal like it," why, what was
| it, my dear man? It surely couldn't
have been so bad" Eyes, it was, sir, it
was awful; it was horriblew well,
tell me what it was" said the pastor
persuasively; probably it wasn't half
so bad as you think" ''Oh, sir, it was
this,' Brother Brown replied, sobbing:
Il prayed to heaven that Brother Jones
be sent to hades." "What?" Numbered
the pastor, ''that was wicked; you
should not have done that" ooh, but
| did," explained the remorseful
brother, II prayed that Brother Jones
| be sent to hades, because he wouldn't
be there month before he'd bust up
! the whole institution"

Maj. Loader, superintendent of Pink
erton's detective agency in this city, re-
| flutes the imputation of Warden Stor
dock, to the effect that LanderS, the eS-
capped forger, stopped at the Leland
house in Chicago and that ''sOme. of
| Pinkerton's detectives board at this
house." AS matter of fact, none of
| Pinkerton's detectives ever stopped at
