have no opposition for the nomination
for attorney general. Hon. John w.
Willis, of this city, has been mentioned,
but declares that he cannot accept the
honor this year.
A triangular contest is on for the
nomination for clerk of the supreme
court between F. W. Kohlers. the Alli-
ance nominee; Joe Jepson. of Henne-
pin, and N. Rasmussen, of Moorhead.
Mr.. Jepson's candidacy is conditional
upon the failure of the convention to
name DR.. Ames for governor. In this
event MIR. Jepson will be pushed as the
representative of ''old Hennepin." Mr..

district court of Clay county. and has
the name of being most efficient and
capable officer. He is popular in the

MAYOR SMITH DECLINES.
His Name Will Not Be Presented
to the Convention.

Mayor Smith yesterday morning made
up his mind that, owing to his business
. engagements and official duties, he
could not allow his name to be used in
connection with the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor; and. accordingly.
he wrote the following letter to the
members of the Ramsey county delega-
ton, declining to allow them to pre-
sent his name in the conventions:
To the Ramsey County Delegation to the
Democratic State Observation-Disclosures !:
After duly considering the proposal made by
those delegates present at the meeting Sat
urday evening last, to present my name as
ton for governor by that convention, feel
it due to myself and the many kind friends
who have urged this action by the delegation
to at this time respectfully but positively de-
cline the use OF my name in such conven-
ton.
There are several reasons, public and pri-
vate business, etc., which would prevent me
accepting a nomination for the high and re-
sponsible Office of governor, if | could be a.
sured of the nomination by reclamation.
1t will be my pleasure TO present the more
urgent reason for thus declining the use of
my name for governor at the meeting of the
delegation called at my Office IN the city hail
at 10 o o'clock tomorrow forenoon.
Thanking my friends who proposed to me
this honor, and to whom l am indebted for
so many other testimonials of personal es-
TEEN, remain. RoBLRT A. SMITH.
This fact was also telegraphed to
Judge Wilson at WinOna.

Farmers, Institute.
The art gallery is this season trans
formed into lecture hall, over which
Supt. o. z. Gregg, of the farmers IN
stitute corps, has supreme control. The
of lectures to be delivered in the insti-
tute yesterday, but the non-arrival of
the corps of instructors necessitated
the postponement OF the opening until
to-day. The idea is one inaugurated by
the board of regents of the state uni
versity, in response to demand from
the farmers that agricultural instruc-
ton should be made "a part of the fair
attractions.
The work done is always practical,
giving enough of science to methods to
show the solid foundation for its accept
ance. The best talent that could be Sc
cured from this and adjoining states
has been secured upon the institute
platform. The work has grown rapidly
in the good will of the farming people
of the state, so much so that during the
last winter circuit the largest halls in
the largest towns of our state were
needed to hold the audiences that as
sembled at the institute sessions. These
audiences have run as high as 1000 peo
pie and over, and are composed of the
best farmers of the sections where these
Institutes are held.
The work is now under the super
vision of the board of regents. and the
heads of the different agricultural So
cieties of the state. The present man
agement of the state fair was anxious
to put an educational element in con-
nectiOn with the exhibits, and so made
request that sessions in connection

Two Big Mines in Pennsylvania
on Fire.


SCoTTDALE, Pa, Sept. 8.-Fire is
raging in the Charlotte mines here, and
work has been suspended. The fire
broke out from furnaces that were put
in. If the flames are not soon eXtin-
guished great loss will be incurred. The
fire is making considerable headway,
despite the fact that the company has
large gang of men at work trying to
check it's progress. The miners were
all notified of the fire this morning be-
fore they commenced work, or it is prob
able that some of them would have been
suffocated by the smoke. Difficulty was
experienced in working in the Stautfer
mine this morning on account of the
volume of smoke which found its way
from the Charlotte mines.
DUNBAR, Pa, Sept. 8.-This morning
ali the wOrkmen were stopped in the
Hill Farm mine, and the mine sealed up
again. Inspector Keightley says new
plan for putting out the fire will be
adopted, and that work will be COM
menced on it in few days. Thirty new
coke ovens have just been completed at
that plant for operation as soon as the
coal can be reached to fire them up.

CHURCH FLOOR TUMBLED.
Sensational Occurrence at a Fu-
neral in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Sept. S.-A sensation in
the Pikesville Baptist church was
caused by section of the floor giving
way while the funeral of Mrs. Sarah E.
Dorsey was in progress. A daughter of
the dead woman, the undertaken and
two pall-bearers were precipitated into
the cellar. The pall-bearers prevented
the coffin from going entirely down, al
though it was tipped almost On end.
Many persons. thinking that the entire
church was about to fall down, rushed
for the doors. The clergyman managed
to quiet the crowd, after which the
coffin and those in the cellar were eXtri-
Gated from the timbers. Mr.. Wagner
was badly bruised and his shoulder was
dislocated. The others were not much
hurt. After quiet had been restored the
casket was again brought in and the
services gone through with.

replied that Mr.. Yager had been away
for two weeks. Continued questions
relative to Mr.. Yager were propounded,
which seemed to excite the woman, who
evidently was afraid her first answer
was doubted, when she answered that
she had received a letter from Yager
this morning dated at Buffalo. The re-
porter then departed on his way down
town, learned from police officer that
the detectives we're looking for Yager,
and had visited bis house early this
morning when they arrested Herman

NEWCASTLE, Pa, Sept. s.-Sarah
Randolph. alias Mrs McGinty, was put
on trial here this afternoon charged
with soliciting ond Sam Kisslnger to
murder Banker Foltz. Kissinger was
the only witness called to-day. He
said that last May he received letter
from Mrs. McGinty, asking him to call
on her ON important business. He did
SO, when she offered him S1,5O0 if he
would murder the president of the
First National bank. She would not
give the name of the principal, but said
wealthy friend of hers wanted it
done. Kissinger held several meetings
with her. he being accompanied the
last time by 2 detective. who was intro
duced as his brother. The woman
again offered the $1,000, at the same
time cautioning them to murder the
banker after night, then rob him in

motive. The case will continue to-mor-
row. The woman is still obdurate and
refuses to betray her wealthy friend.

H.R. Wells for Chairman.

At meeting of the Democratic state
committee in Room Is at the Merchants
last evening it was decided to present
the name of Hon. FL. R. Wells, of Fill
more, to the convention as the choice
of the committee for temporary
chairman. Several names were pre-
sented to the committee for this
honor, among them being tina t
of Hon. John w. Willis of this city, but
several of the members thought best to
step outside the Twins and pick up

cultivation of the soil is an independ-
ent life, it does not conduce to the de-
velOpment of pride i'll the true sense of
the term. which passion visit to the
fair ground will often sensibly stimu-
late.
The recent wonderful development of
the Farmers Alliance will render the
fairs of the preSe Mt season of peculiar
interest, since they will be the scenes
of great deal of solid missionary work.
The great majority of farmers are be-
ginning to realize that policy which
places tax, and high one, on every
thing almost that they buy and leaves
the price of most of the staples they
produce to be established by the mar
kets of foreign lands is not calculated
to make them rich, and a very little per-
suasion will cause tn ousands to break
protection, which they have so long
and patiently borne upon their devoted
backs. The country fairs of the next
few weeks will break many political
states and lead to great many unfore-
seen results.
Found at Every Fair.
The country fair is upplied-indeed,
oversupplied-with all manner and
forms of adjuncts in the shape of side
shows, refreshment stands, various
kinds of amusements and fakirS OF al
most every variety known to the pro-
fession. For while the rural visitors
gaze, we'll nigh speechless, upon the
seductive canvas displayed in front of
the tent where the mermaid and sea
serpent are exhibited; then, producing
their hard-earned dimes, pass in. to find
the exhibition less fascinating than the
prospectus. The same principle which
leads the boy TO invest his nickel in ex-
actly what he has at home-ginger-
bread-induceS him to take turn at
the health-lift and test the strength he
has developed as a rail-splitter or
Quarryman, in swinging ponderous
maui at three blows for five cents.
The "candy butcher" popcorn boy,
''peanut fiend, milk shaker and lem
and decocter, toy balloon man, cheap
jewelry peddler, glass blower, flower
maker, whip vender and literally scores
of others are in attendance. Here is
man selling seven wooden rings for 10
cents, which the purchaser throws, or
tries to throw, over the heads of canes

agement and the institute board that
fair ground, in the nature of the case,
does not furnish the best of in
stitute conditions. for fair is
more or less diversion. while institute
work demands close attention. In view
of this fact, the institute work
which will be done will be quite differ
ent from the work done in town.
There will be more object lessons in the
way of horses, cattle and other farm
stock, particularly those who may re-
ceive first premiums. The fair furnishes
the finest types of stock from which liv-
ing examples can be obtained, showing
the effects of good breeding and good
care. 1t is expected that the Judges
who make the awards will give short
talks or lectures illustrating their
method of judgment for giving awards.
Other work will be determined upon
from day to day as interest and circum-
stances may dictate.
