But this is what the Republican Com
vention will not do: It will not declare
for Prohibition in the District of Column
bia or any of the Territories; it will not
say one word that will commit the party
in favor of the principle of Prohibition !;
it will not declare that the saloon is an
evil which must be opposed to its anni-
hilation, or even that high license and
local option are stepping-stones to the
ultimate suppression of the traffic. It
will go just so far and no further in it's
denunciations of the traffic as Sheridan
Shook and his co-workers will think it
necessary for the party to 60 to head off
the dreaded Prohibition party move

James Douglass, colored desperate,
we'll known to the police was shot and
seriously wounded at colored ball at
the City Gardens, at midnight, last night.
II. Douglass visited picnic given by
colored people at the Gardens yesterday.
He drank freely and was in fighting
mood when the picnic resolved itself
into ball and general hurrah.
He entered a little refreshment
cafe kept by R. R. Brown (colored)
and ordered lunch. Having discussed
the meal, Douglass asked Brown the
price and was told it was thirty-five
cents. He refused to pay more
than ten cents, and when
Brown demonstrated, picked up
huge butcher knife lying on the coun.
ter and endeavored to carve Brown.
The latter rushed from his place of busi-
ness down stairs, and summoned his
brother, Kinney Brown. The brother
tried to disarm Douglass, but the latter
made lunge at him with the knife.
Brown then pulled pistol and fred, the
ball taking effect in Douglass cheek,
making serious wound.
Special officer Warner tried to take the
shooter into custody, but Brown refused
to be arrested. Detective Tom Mccarthy
was sent for, visited the gardens and
arrested Brown. He was locked up. Nc
charge was booked against him, pending
the result of Douglass injuries. At last
accounts the injured man was resting
easily.

The Polk family was the most noted Of
all the leading families.
Colonel William Polk, a Revolutionary
soldier, at an early day located what is
now the finest 5000 acres in Tennessee.
He had six sons, the bishop, Leonidas,
Lucius j., George w., Rufus K, William
l., and Andrew j. George is still living
and occupies his old home. He is a very
old man, and much esteemed. He is the
father of Isaac Hilliard Pope.
Major Sam Polk, an early settler, was
of another family. He was the father of
the President and of Colonel Bill Polk,
and of Mrs. James Walker. Mr.. Walker
came from Kentucky in 1918 and estab-
lished the first newspaper, called the
Western Chronicle, and married Miss Jane
Polk, eldest sister of the President.

employee of the city one cent, nor have
l ever received, directly or Indirectly.
one single cent On any advance made
to city employee, nor have

money belonging to me personally

money in my charge whatever, has ever

money has ever been advanced to city

has never been done with city money.

The Cat Craze Coming.

Baltimore Herald.
Recently Queen Victoria has con-
tracted the habit of carrying her house.
hold cats along with her when she
moves from one castle to another. The
transportation of cats has, therefore, be-
come quite fashionable craze in Eng
land, no family of the least pretensions
considering 1t in good form to appear at
a railway station without an ample
basket containing the domestic felines.
The aping of royalty even in the most
absurd and silly customs is one of those
things that is not destined TO die out
soon. Of course the cat craze is liable
at any moment to invade the ranks of
our American nobility.

c. NJ. POND,
Democratic Nominee for District
Court Judge.

G. NJ. Pond, who has been nominated
by the Democrats to defeat Judge Hicks,
was born in 1916 on farm in Southern
Wisconsin. He lived and worked as
farmer until the age of twenty, and
then began his college course at RipOn,
Wis. Five years of hard study at this
college, paying his way as he went
along, brought him to graduation day.
Having completed his literary course,
in the summer of 1878, he entered Co
lumbia College Law school at New
York city, where he remained, fin
ishing his law course in 1874.
Soon as admitted to practice
he opened law Office at Green Bay,
Wis, where he remained one year. In
the summer of 1875, desiring TO perma-
nently locate in more thrifty town, he
came to Minneapolis. Poor and with
out friends, he opened an Office and
struggled hard for two years, when the
light began to appear. In 1878 he
formed law cO-partnership with w.
Z. Hale, and the firm enjoyed
a good practice for three years,
when it was dissolved. Continuing
the practice alone for about one year,
Mr.. Pond then formed cOpartnership
with A. b. jackson, of the firm of Jack
son, Atwater IL Hill, under the firm,
name of Jackson & Pond. This firm did
a large business for three years, when
1t was dissolved, since which time Mr..
Pond has continued the practice alone,
and has been very successful both as
lawyer and business man. He has
been a Democrat all his life, and
though he has not taken a very
active part i'll politics, has always
been sufficiently interested in the sue
cess of Democracy to aid in legitimate
political support. 1t is but fair to Mr..
Pond to say of him that his nomination
was not thing of seeking on his part.
He. like a large Part of the bar of the
county, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, was opposed to the
selection of Judge Hicks, and
has always regretted that the
selection OF judges should fall to the
hands of political parties. Nothing
demonstrates his good faith in this mat
ter more than his own conduct in refer

NO ASSETS VISIBLE.
So the Court Ordered Another As
sigDee Appointed.

The matter of the assignment of j.
Neal Dow, was up before Judge Rea
again yesterday, on a motion for the
discharge of the assignee, and the ap-
pointment of a new assignee by the
court. Dennis Ryan, who is a creditor of
BOWS, to the extent of S7O2, COM
planned that Crawford Sheldon, the as
signee, who was appointed several
months ago. had not yet filed any bonds
nor made any schedule OF the assets
and liabilities. Sheldon answered that
there was nothing for him to do, that all
the assets there were, was a stock of
drugs at 1901 Washington avenue
south, and this stock was held under
mortgage for S1,500, and so placed be-
yond his control. An affidavit of Neal
BOWS was then read. in which it was
stated that in February, 1888, the holder
of the mortgage, Sarah ID. Atkinson,
took possession of the property, and on
the 18th of September he was hired by
her to take charge of the store and see
that it was properly run. The court
finally decided that a new assignee
should be appointed. and so ordered the
discharge of Crawford Sheldon. The
new assignee has not yet been named.

PUTS AND CALLS.
Option Selling at the Chamber of
Commerce Begins Monday.

The Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce voted yesterday to renew the
sale of options, and to re-eStablish the
pit" This is in response to a move
ment headed by the young brokers of
the chamber. The argument is made
that Minneapolis, being the largest
primary wheat market in the world,
that its sales can be made fair for
speculation, and the commissions will
go to Minneapolis brokers in
stead of being divided with
Chicago and Duluth. This will also
facilitate option dealing, and will prove
a convenience in other ways, as eleva-
tor men now buy largely for future de-
livery, and hedge" by selling options
In Chicago. Monday morning the pit
will be brought in, and the buying and
selling of options will began at 9:15,
continuing to lis. No. l northern
will be established as the speculation
grade, and all offers are to be under
stood to be for this grade if no mention
is made OF any other.
