Morgan moved to amend by making the
committee to consist of seven men from
each district, or thirty-five in all. This
was opposed by Rev. George F. Wells.
1t was finally decided that the commits
tee consist of five from each district,
twenty-five in all. F. r. McMan-
igal. of Ramsey county; j. W.
Lansing, of Minneapolis, and
Rev. oliver Williams, of Rock
county, were appointed inspectors
by the chair and sworn by d. W. Dody.
The delegates from the several con-
greSsional districts were then invited to
select their delegates, and recess was
taken for that purpose. The following
names were reported when the convent
ton reassembled:
First District-N. H. Leonard, j. E. Gould,
John Donahoe, C. W. Woodruff anG D. Nc.
Donald.
Second District-w. NJ. Copp, ]. NJ Smith,

T. R. Steward, of Houston county,
came forward, while these committeeS
retired, and by means of charts made an
effective prohibition speech. He was
followed by the students quartette of
Augsburg seminary Minneapolis, which
sang several fine selections. W. III.
Skemp, of Minneapolis, was called for
and made an argument to convince his
hearers that the prohibition party had
logical existence. "We are going to poll
a larger vote than ever before in this
state." he said. II don't believe that
the wire-pulling now going on i'll the
Farmers alliance is going to get the
true Prohibitionists to Swerve one inch.
A large proportion of the farmers Of
the state are prohibitiOnists, and will
vote with us this coming fall"
After another song the convention ads
jOurned until 10 o'clock this morning.

warrant, but tried to force his way up

prevent. Thereupon, Pierce drew a

sHAW's VITAL POINT.
No Backbone to the Mill City De-
fenSe.

One of the vital points in Judge
Shaw's argument for change of venue
was the application of the law pertain
ing to such procedure in justice courts.
He held that if it applied the commits
sioner is compelled to grant the
transfer asked for when preju-
dice is sworn to. But the law
governing justices of the peace does not
apply. That is manifest. The justices
of the peace have no criminal jurisdic-
tion whatever, as the law of 1889 clearly
states. Then no preliminary hearing
can be conducted by a justice of the
peace. Again, the state law says that
when change is taken it must be to
the next district. But did Judge Shaw
want to have the case under considera-
ton taken to the next district, as is
1ucidly specified by the state statute?
Not at all. He said he wanted to take
it before either of the other st. Paul
commissioners or before the Minneapo-
lis commissioner, but these are in the
same district. The state of Minnesota

man, and W. II. Skemp, of Hennepin,
was called upon to perform the secre4
tarlal duties. The following platform
was adopted:
Whereas, The Prohibition party has always
contended that the prohibition of the liquor
traffic has always been national in its charac.
ter, which position of the Prohibition party
lsnow emphatically confirmed by the recent
decision of the United States supreme court.
We, therefore, demand that congress pass
such laws as will protect the states from the
importation or sale of intoxicating liquors.
and all such commodities as are detrimental
to the health and well being of society.
We also demand that congress pass laws
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors
at the national capital and i'll the territories.
Resolved, That we, as ProhibitioDists OF
the Fourth congressional district of Minne-
sofa, place ourselves on record as being OPP
posed to class legislation, and favor such
wise and liberal legislation as shall reduce
our taxes, promote the interests of labor
reform by removal of all restrictive and OPP
pressive laws
Resolved, That we desire wise and Judi
clOuS leglSlduOH 10 promote Our dRTlCulturd
and manufacturing interests as opposed to
all monopolies of an oppressive character,
and especially the enactment of such rail.
road laws as will be undiscriminating in their
operations.
Hugh Harrison and w. j.. Dean, Of
Minneapolis. were placed in nomina-
ton as candidates for congress. Mr..
Harrison declined emphatically, on the
score that he could not spare the time;
Mr.. Dean didn't want to accept, but he
finally decided to do so. and he was de-
clared the nominee:
The following congressional commit
tee was elected:
Anoka, Joseph Ridge and q. H. Johnson;
Hennepin, II. E. Wheeler and S. j. Turn

4 SONG OF THE ROAD.
JULIE NJ. LlrrxASS.

 Come, comrades, Since the way ia long Let's 'livcn 1t by tune and song, And greeting give to all we pass; To white-of-head. to light. head, To matron grave and laughing lass.
 Hurrall for lane and by way,
 For distant path and high way,
 For friends we greet, for foes we meet, Along the worlds broad highwayl 'Tis morning break: 1.-the limbs are strong Who dreams of crime and guilt and wrong Yon youngling and his violet eyes' Nay, light of mind and love so blind Are wisdom proof and folly wise.
 Hurrah for lane and by way,
 For distant path and high way,
 For friends we greet for foes we meet Along the worlds broad highway. 'Tis noontide; let us spend an hour Dream drinking ere we lose the power, And all our pleasure disappears, Since slight of heart and blight of heart Have sworn the goblet smacks of tears. Hurrah for lane and by-way,
 For distant path and highway, For friends we greet, for foes we
 meet
 Along the worlds broad high way. Iris night and low; foul thieves have
 mobbed The weak ones here and left them robbed Of hope, and faith, and love and rest; But sure-oi soul and pure of soul Still fold their treasures to their breast Hurrah for lane and by-way,
 For distant path and highway. For every one whose journeys done, Who's gained the distant sky-way!

As usual. she fingered. and he grew more and more impatient and angry. He walked up and down in front of the store and began to swear 10 himself Occasionally he ejaculated aloud Presently a-stalwart policeman laid his hand on his shoulder. ''See here. my man, said the officer. you'd better move on. I've got my eyes on you

How the Piano Crew

The piano, as we sec t to-day, is tho growth of centuries of invention. In its infancy it was harp of two or three strings. From time to time more strings were added, and after a while the eithara was born. The cithara was in shape of the letter r, and had ten strings. IL took many centuries for musicians io get tho idea of stretching the strings across an open box, but somewhere about tho year l2oo this was thought of and ihe dulcimer made it's appearance. the strings being struck with hammers. For another hundred years these ham, mers were held in the hands of the player, and then u genius invented a key board. which. being struck by the fingers, moved the hammers. This instrument was called Il clayicyther, ium or keyed cithars Thls under. went some notifications and improve. ments from time to time In Queen Eliaabeth's $ timo 1t was called virgin. al Then 1t was called spine, be cause the hammers were covered wi h StthtN pt 1htttFr AlfAn SNtukh Oi caught the strings O wiro and pro. duced the sound
