M'GILL IS GAINING.
A Majority of the Delegates
Elected Yesterday Favor
the Governor.
He Knocks Merriam Out in
Several Of the Big Coun-
ties.
Scheffer Leads Still, But
Most Of His Strength
Is In.
Gilman Cut d Very Small
Figure in Last Nights
Returns.

The Republican county conventions
held yesterday must have surprised
some one-perhaps the Third street
banker. whose imagination has seen
delegates rolling in like the dollars do.
Maybe Charley Gilman was surprised,
and that iovial state senator known as
Ward, of Waseca. All around it was
day of surprises, with stock quotations
on the jump. Twenty odd county con-
veutions were held, and of the delegates
elected to them McGill secured the
most. So that making 100 par in the po-
litical market, it might be said that the
days quotations were:
Merriam Stock. 1o5 Merriam stock. 100
Scheffer stock. ...120 Scheffer stock. 100
MeGtll stock. IS MeGill stock; k;.....1000
DARK Horse stock. 100 Dark Horse stock 70
Barto surprised Gilman. The old war
horse got on his mettle, and. like true
Roman came to the scratch, and di-
vided Stearns county on the willy
Charley.
BartO has borne his congressional de-
feat with good grace. While the air
has been filled with charges and accu-
Sations of treachery against Gilman,
Barto has said nothing.
He said nothing when he learned it
was the intention to prevent his com
ing to the state convention. For that
matter he did not have TO. He winked
one eye at Sauk Center, and that was
sufficient.
He will come to the state convention,
and the black valiSe with the white let
tiers "A. Barto' will be at the Mer-
chants hotel next Wednesday.
BartO is too gallant an old fellow to
be left out of any convention, and his
many friends throughout the state will
be glad to see HIM present.
There is an attorney at Waseca called
Crump-Sam Crump. He has been at
tOTney of WaSeca county, although he
does not weigh as much as w. &. Ward.
Yesterday as leader of the McGill
forces Crump defeated Ward for dele
gate to the state convention and there
is mourning in Israel.
The Merriam managers got black
eve in lie Sueur county, and Editor
Dearth can make new contract Tor po-
litical prophecies.
McGill carried Wilkin also, where
Stordock got in fine Italian work and
laid Farmer Watson out cold. In Hen
nepin Scheffer received the worst blow.
losing all that he has claimed there, and
more, too. In the GLOBES delegate
column he leads this morning, but he is
very near to the end of his string.
McGill made the greatest gains yes
terday, and if he keeps it up on the
delegates to be elected Monday his NOM
ination is assured.

fires which have been raging on the
Northern Montana ranges have been
subdued after burning over large area

will not seriously injure stockmen,
though until rain comes there is a con-

this city to-day and elected the follow
ing delegates to the state convention at
st. Paul Sept. 5: H. III. Carson, Hon.
S. ID. Crump, L. ID. Babcock. ID. j.

following resolution was introduced and
passed by close vote:

ton that Hon. A. r.. McGill has proved him
self a loyal Republican and an excellent gov
ernor. and
Be it Resolved, That the delegates from this
county to the state convention be ana are
hereby instructed to use all honorable means
to the end that said A II. McGill be noml-
mated as the Republican candidate for gov
ernor.
The result was a complete rout for
the Merriam men, who were supposed
by all had control of the convention.
The first trial of the strength of the two
factions was when Hon. w. G. Ward,
the strongest supporter of Merriam, was
defeated for delegate by Hon. 5. ID.
Crump, the leader of the McGill forces.
The following county ticket was nomi-
mated: Treasurer, Emil DieudOnne;
attorney, w. ID. Abbott; auditor, ).
SwenSon; register, A. f. Kruger; judge
of probate, William c. Young; for rep
resentative, Otto Hansen; superin-
tendent of schools, j. b. Dye; sheriff,

Merriam hosts look depressed.

The boycott will be the means employed to

Exhibitions of Real Art.

There is perhaps nothing in which
the progress of an age is more definitely
shown than in its modes of decoration.
Within a few years inventive genius
has been directed here, and now the
same beauties in sculpture, stuccos, etc,
which embelished the pelaces of many
years ago are now produced in papier
mache, and at so tritling an expense
that the most modest homes are beauti-
fed by them. This artistic instinct is
in all men, and all delight in surround
ing themselves with what will please
the eye.
With the professional decorator it is
his study to keep pace with the times
as to materials, styles, ETC., and also TO
study the tastes Of his patrons. With
the beginning of this year Peter G. Mil
Ter visited Chicago and the art houses
there, the results of which visit have
been seen in the artistic work done by
him during the past season.
THE BEE refers ut this time partlcu-
larly to the banking room of Officer q
Pussy which was recently decorated by
Mr.. Miller. In material, style and fin
ish it compares with the finest houses
of the east. A brief description will
suffice at this time. The ceiling is laid
in a Greek square, forming fine panels;
a large one in the center and two small
mes at each end The fields are n red
dish brown, gold figured. a darker
gray outtield, or relief, surrounds these.
The divide is II beautiful gold ground
with IA bottle green shaded figure. The

Eliminates the whole. The center of
the large panel contains papier mache
piece which is II faithful reproduction of
the famous bron2es of the sixteenth cen
tury. Bronze mouldings surround each
panel, and lend Il rich yet quiet beauty

Professor Medeleef in Engineering, has
advanced the theory that petroleum is Of
mineral origin, and that its production is
going on and may continue almost indefl-
nitely. He has succeeded in making H.
artiically by q similar process to that
which he believes Is going on in the earth,
and experts find It impossible to distin-
guish between the natural and the manu-
featured article.
His hypothesis is that water finds its
way below the crust of the earth, and
then meets with carbides Of metals, par
ticularly Of iron, in growing state. The
water is decompOsed into its constituent
gases; the oxygen unites with the iron,
while the hydrogen takes up the carbon
and ascends 10 a higher region, where
part of IL is condensed into mineral oil
and part remains as natural gas, to escape
where it can find an outlet or to remain
stored at great pressure until n borehole
is put down to provide il a passage TO the
surface.
Oil bearing strata occurs In the vicinity
OF mountain ranges, and IL Is supposed
that the upheaval Of the hills has dislo-
Gated the strata below sufficiently 20 give
the water access 90 depths from which IL
Is ordinarily shut out II the center Of
