Not See Any Hope With Availa-
BILE Timber.
But who will be their candidates?
Chairman Nichols seems evidently to
be trying to run politics on strict con-
sclentious plan, for when he was asked
at the Merchants hotel yesterday after
noon what gentlemen were named as
possible candidates. he looked quite en-
barraSSed and informed the GLOBE
man very tersely and firmly that ''the
convention will make the candidates"
Another member of the committee said:
"Oh, know the slate all light, but l
don't think we will put up any candi-
date for mayor, comptroller or city
treasurer, if Bob Smith, John Roche
and George Refs are nominated, but we
may try to get some of the aldermen at
large. l don't know how the city could
get along without John Roche now; GER
tainly man equally as good as he
would have to be put up, and where are
you going to find him? He has too
good a financial head for the city to part
with him. It's straight as l give it to
you that we have given mp all idea of
bucking against Bob Smith, John Roche
and George Refs if they are nominated
by the Democrats. We are
IN A PICKLE
about our aldermanic candidates, al
though there is a sort OF a slate. We
wanted Col. G. d. Kerr to run as ward
candidate for the Ninth ward, but he
won't run. Julius Schneider is candi-
date in that ward. We had an idea
that Aid. Sanborn would run in the
Seventh ward, but some of the boys
want to run him at large. Everything's
split up at Hamline, and what good men
we've got at Merriam Park want to run

WORKINGMEN's CONVENTION.
1t Is Proposed to Hold One at the
Capitol Thursday Night.

An executive meeting was held by
the Workingmen's central committee
in the senate chamber last night to set
a date for the convention. r. B. Rice
was chairman, and Joseph Heating
acted as secretary. One delegate from
each ward was present as follows:
Egan; Third, Il. j. Duffy; Fourth,
Blakely; Sixth, I. II. McKone; Sew
enth, Il. II. Kesler, Eighth, J. L.. Berki-
mer; Ninth, j. F. CrOnin; Tenth, Col.
Stockwell, and Eleventh, J. p. Prince.
1t was decided to have the convention
Thursday evening at 1880 p. m. in the
senate chamber at the capitol. The
delegates will be selected by the ward
Workingmen's club. The Working
mems club of the Fifth ward will meet
at Carpenters hall tonight to select
delegates. Many of the clubs have
already appointed their delegations.
One of the committee was asked what
the convention proposed to do. He re-
piled:
II don't know. Nobody can tell.
Maybe we'll nominate full ticket, but
it's for the convention to say what is to
be done. We have already nominated
Coleman Flaherty in the Second ward
and Dick McNamee is candidate in the
Ninth. The workingmen of the Fifth
are not at all opposed to Bar
ney Ryan, for they think he
has been a friend to them. When we
have had our convention and made our
programme, we will go before both
party conventions and see which will
stand by US. There is no truth in that
co,nort about tho cunnort-
ing Mike DAILY for comptroller. don't
know who gave that out, but we haven't
decided upon anybody yet, and perhaps

LUvERNE, Mimi, April 3.-Elaf and
Charles Lunquest found the remains of
an unknown man about twelve miles
northwest of Luverne az o'clock Sun
day morning while travelling across the
prairie from Kidder'S quarry to their
home in Springwater township in Rock
county. While approaching ~small
sod shanty their attention was at
tracted by pair of over
shoes protruding from a snow
bank. Approaching they discovered
the body of man partially buried in
the snow, the sun having melted the
drift so that the feet, clad in overshoes,
were exposed to view. The body was
lying on the right side and arm, the
left hand being in the overcoat pocket
The man wore fur cap, and his hair
was buried in the snow and could not
be seen. The house was locked, but a
stove. a single bed and other articles, in
dicating that the place was the abode
of single man, could be seen
within. MesSrS, LunQueSt at once came to
Luverne and reported the matters to
the authorities, and Coroner Lund will
hold an inquest. How the deceased
came to his death can only be conject-
ured, but, it is probable that he was a
victim of the great January blizzard. If
so, it is most remarkably that man
could, in a civilized country, live life
so isolated that his death is discovered
only by chance and after the lapse OF
months.

STILL A MYSTERY.
The Mysterious Deaths Near
Mason City Being Investigated.

Special to the Globe.
MASON CITY, To-, April Sit is now
thought that H. G. Avery, who died
suddenly Sunday morning, was affected
with the same trouble that caused the
death of the two members of the Brown
family. The latter death, with the
mysteries surrounding it, again renews
talk relating to the Brown family
trouble. About 10 o'clock Mr.. Avery
was strong, robust man; was attacked
with dizziness, and in about ten min
utes was seized by violent purging and
vomiting. He was given some cold tea
to drink and and all pain seemed to
pass away. In little over three hours
he was a corpse. What has caused
these deaths is comdlete mys-
terry. 1t is generally agreed that
it is some kind of poison.
Not long ago poison known
as tyrotoxicon, putrefcation ferment
of poison generated in decayed mat
ter, was discovered in cheese. Butter
containing similar ingredients might
contain a like poison, and the Brown
family and Mr.. Avery both ate butter
at their last meal. Coroner Mcfarland
to-day exhumed the body of II. l..
Grown and the stomach was taken out.
The board of supervisors, who are now
in session, have been asked to apprOpri-
ate funds sufficient to make thorough
investigation. The appropriation will
undoubtedly be made, and Browns
stomach sent to Chicago at once,

Recent Council.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The follow
ing official statement has been issued by
the International Council of Women:
1.-The International Council of Women,
in session in the city of Washington
from March % to April l inclusive, in
closing makes public announcement
that fifty-three different organizations
of women have been represented on its
platform by eighty-seven speakers and
delegates from England, France, Nor
way, Denmark, Finland, India, Can
ada and the United States. All of these
organizations but four are of national
scope and all but three of national value
The subjects of education, philan-
thrOpieS, temperance, industries, pro-
LESSONS, organization, legal conditions,
social purity, political conditions and
religion have been discussed. While
no restriction has been placed upon
the fullest expression of the most widely
divergent views upon these vital
questions of the age, it is cause
for rejoicing that the sessions,
both private and public, have
been absolutely without friction. 1t is
the unanimous voice of the council that
all institutions of learning and of pro-
fesSiOnal instruction, including schools
of theology, law and medicine, should
in the interests of humanity be as freely
opened to woman as to man; that OPP
pOrtunities for industrial training
should be as generally aad as literally
provided for one as the other and the
representatives of organized woman
hood in this council will steadily de-
mand that in all avOcations in which
which both men and women engage
equal wages shall be paid for equal
work; and, finally, that an enlightened
society should demand the only adc-
quate expression of the high civilization
which it is its office to establish and
maintain-an identical standard of per-
sonal parity and morality for men and
WOmen."

He then engaged in his old trade at
Rome, O., for about fourteen years.
and, having accumulated considerable
wealth, he went east to PottSdam, n.
Y, and, with number of others, went
extensively into the lumber business.
which terminated disastrously to him,
having lost about $4,000 in the enter

ton until the summer of 1857, when he
decided to visit the great North
west, hoping to benefit his
health which was somewhat
impaired at this time. He left his wife
and two children at their home. Min
neapoliS was the first stopping point,
which was then mere village. There
he met the renowned Hutchinson fam
lily, and from their glowing description
was induced to purchase a stock of
blacksmith tools and proceed to Hutch

up blacksmith shop, being the first

Mr.. Putnam continued in this for about
ten years. In addition to this he was

was compelled to draw the wool with an

nearest market. In 1867 Mr.. Putnam
opened a hardware store in Hutchinson

for Minneapolis with load of wool
when a cry of ''Indian'' reached his
ears. Before starting his oxen he pro-
ceeded to investigate the cause of the
cry, when, to his surprise, he was in
formed that the town was surrounded
by band of Sioux Indians, under Lit
tie Crow, numbering about 800. Being
anxious for the safety Of his family, he
set about deviSing means OF escape, but
