A good story is told of Bangor man.
Last Tuesday he had occasion to 90 to
certain place, the know ledge of which, for
some reason, he wished to keep from the
wife of his bosom. so he told her that he
was going to pushaw Pond fishing. Before
night he telephoned to the market and told
them to take some dressed pickerel to his
house for supper, and in due time he went
home for his evening meal. He told his
wife that he had left the fish at the market
in the afternoon to be dressed, and asked her
if they had been sent up. She answered in
the affirmative and asked him to go into the
kitchen and see them, lie did so, when
horrors of horrors, a peek of clans met his
astonishcd gaze. The supply of pickerel
being exhausted at the market, the boy in
attendance. who of course was not familiar
with the inside of the case, supposed that
clans might after a fashion answer the pur-
pose, and sent them up. 1t is not known how
the pseudo fisherman Strengthened ont mat
tiers.

GOOD DEMOCRACY.

How 1t Looks in Goodhue County.
Special to the Globe.
RED WING, June 29.-1n striking
contrast with the Republican bicker-
ings and jealousieS at this convention
has been the spirit of enthusiasm mani
tested by the GoOdhue county Demo-
Gratis. You must remember that while
Goodhue gives Republican majority
of from 1880 to 1900 for gov
ernor and congressman, she has
a democratic state SenatOr-Peter Mel
son, who succeeded democratic Sena-
tor, O. NJ. Hall-and she has also some
of the best and richest young democratic
blood in the state. Among these are
Messrs. Hall, Michael, Rich, Pierce.
Pratt, Fulton, Cook and Nelson. |
talked quite fully with them yes
terday, and their responses to
my inquiries were of the
most satisfactory nature. All they ask
of the state leaders of the Democracy is
to give them a strong and vigorous state
ticket, headed by either Edmund Rice
Knute Nelson. Then, with Judge Mac
Donald for congress again, they
promise to make such fight
for. the national ticket as Minnesota
has never seen. The Cleveland-Thur-
man tickat is to their liking, and when
the Republicans marched to the con-
vention hall this morning they passed
under a great Cleveland Thurman BAN
! ner that tapped its folds triumphantly.
| The Democrats here are tariff refOrmers
and not only think but talk it. Not
a man among them but has read the
message, waded into Adam Smith
and studied Schoenhotf, while not few
find strong meat in Sherman and
Wells. Dom Piatt's new monthly maya
zine, with its economic leaders and
deadly blows at high tax, is very popu-
lar. The feeling is prevalent that good
tickets and hard work will carry Min
nesota into the Democratic column this
| year. Red Wing is making vigorous
fight for the Democratic congressional
convention, which will be called within
fortnight. Of course Judge MacDon-
aid will be his own successor, but Good
hue wants the affair to be within her
own bailwick. Senator Peter Nelson is
slowly gaining stength and finding
health again. The senate will probably
hear his voice and feel his influence
again next winter.

VERY CLOSE TO DEATH.
The Terrible Experience of Tire,
Men Imprisoned in a Caisson.

The Terrible Experience of Three
Men Imprisoned in Caisson.
Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Neb., June 2S.-Three labor
ers in the caisson on pier No. of the
Omaha Council Bluffs bridge, now being
built across the Missouri river, had
terrible experience this afternoon, which
came very near costing them their lives.
Their escape is considered miraculous.
Their names are John Hurley, James
Dowdy and John Brady. The men are
not allowed to enter the caisson until
after being examined and pronounced
physically sound by physician. Two
hours constitute shift. These men en-
tered the caiSson at Z o'clock this morn
ing. When 9 o'clock came they, did not
emerge, but instead signalled that they
were unable to come out. One of the
two doors of the air lock through which
the men pass from the outer air into the
forty pounds of pressure under which
they work, had become cemented fast
while partly open, by the concrete shot
down into the caiSson. The forty
pounds pressure kept the water back
and the men dared not open the lower
door as the water would then have
rushed in and drowned them. By hard
work the men on the outside succeeded
in building an extra door and by $50
this evening the three imprisoned men
were brought to the outer air after be-
ing confined in the caisson under forty
pounds pressure for nearly twelve
hours, or six times as long as it is con-
sidered safe for man to remain there
Two of the men were able to walk with
assistance, but the third was completely
paralyzed, and it will be several weeks
before he can be about again.

roomy and sxty-three delegates, with a
dozen spectators looked lost in it. The
chairman made no opening speech, and
altogether enthusiasm was at an
ebb. 1t is wonderful what a
paralyZing effect the presence of
a first-cIass political machine can
have upon convention. While the
temporary organization was being per-
fected. Delegate Fieg, of Kandiyohi
county, who has voice like the steam
whistle on Benton county saw mill,
made frantic efforts to prevent his own
appointment to either the committee on
credentials or organization. desiring evil
IDENTIFY to go on the committee for plat
form. where he might declaim for tariff
reform. The chair, though, did not
recognize his plant and he remained
where he had been placed. The con-
vention adjourned at O'Clock until 2:30
p. IN. AT that time the permanent
organization was effected.
