KAsoTA JUNCTION. Mimi, July 49,
The Farmers Alliance congressional
convention of the Second district was
called to order at the railroad house in
this village at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Over fifty delegates, representing nearly
every one of the twenty counties IN the
district, attended the convention. A
congressional alliance was organized at
once, and nominations for congressman
were declared in order. Gen. j. ii.
Baker, of Blue Earth, was named. and
nominated by acclamation. In response
to calls by the delegates the general
took the floor, and made ringing
speech denouncing the Mckinley tariff
bill and trusts and monopolies. Con-
gressman John Lind's record on
the tariff and silver question was ana
lyZed in maSterlymanner and the rea-
sons were set forth in the Blue Earth
statesman's most eloquent vein why tue
farmers of the great Second district
ought to nominate and elect member
of congress to succeed John Lind. The
speech warmed the delegates up and
was loudly applauded. A congressional
committee will be named later.
Record Of the Nominee.
Gen. James II. Baker, the nominee OF
the Second district farmers for congress,
is a native of Ohio, and is something
over fifty-fve years of age. He has a
fine farm near Garden City, in Blue
Earth county. which bears the very
pretty name of Oak Cliff farm, and he
lives on it and farms it. He came
to Minnesota i'll the early SOS and
has ever since resided in the state. Be-
fore leaving Ohio he filled the office of
secretary of state there, and in 1859 was
chosen to fill the same Office in. the then
new commonwealth of the state of Min
nesota. This position he held until the
fall of 1862. when he entered the army.
Here he served with distinguished
honor, and rapidly rose in the service.
At the close of the war he returned
to Minnesota and shortly re-entered
active politics again. In 1882 he was
elected railroad commissioner, which
office he held up to January, 1887. He
is one of the most eloquent men in the
state,i and is capable of making
campaign such as no other pub
lie man in the state could
make. He is thoroughly posted
on the tariff question, having given it
many years Of careful study. Nearly
ten years ago he started the low tariff
movement among the Republicans OF
the state by delivering series of
speeches at different county fairs. urg-
ing the necessity of tariff reduction.
He has ever since been classed by the
radicals as a "tree trader" and hereto.
He will undoubtedly make things inter-
esting for Hon. John Lind.

named Green Jackson was lynched
here yesterday by neighbors of Mrs.
Robert Pritchard. white woman.

husband was concealed in the woods
near by. He succeeded in decoying her
to place called "The Sink" and there

She fought like tiger, but jackson
choked and beat her till she became
exhausted and then outraged her. He
fled into the forest, and when the
woman recovered sufficiently she
aroused the neighbors. and mob
started in pursuit of the brute. They
ran him down Wednesday night,
brought him into Mrs. Prichard's
presence for Identification yesterday,
and last night hung him to tree near
the railroad switch at Herlong. His
body was then riddled with bullets, and
when the east-bound passenger train
came through this morning it was still
hanging there. There is great excite
ment, and none of Jackson's friends
dare to cut the body down.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The cloakmak-
er's strike seems to be nearing an end.
The only question on which there is a
hitch is the recognition of the manu-
facturers' association. The operators
came to an agreement this afternoon on
everything except a clause which states
that final adjustment of disputes be set
tied by ''joint board of manufacturers
and the consolidated board" The oper-
ators will deal only with their employ
ers. The operators seem less stubborn
than heretofore and the prospects for
an amicable settlement seem brighter
than any time since the lockout began.

Gutted by Fire.

Guttou Dy Fire.
New YORK. July 18.-The Western
Union telegraph building caught fire at
7 o'clock this morning and was damaged
to the extent Of quarter million dol
lars. The distributing room, on the
fifth floor, the operating room. on the
floor above, the Associated Press rooms
and the restaurant, on the seventh floor,
were completely destroyed. and seven
lives were miraculously saved. A few
minutes before o'clock this morning
the operators began to arrive to 60 to
work. About fifty men and young
women had reached the operating room.
A messenger boy named Matthews saw
a puff OF smoke under table in
the distributing room on the
floor below the operating room. He
scarcely had time to investigate the
cause when the wooden table was in
flames and the fire was spreading with
Lightning rapidity. He rushed up stairs
to notify the new arrivals that the
building was on fire. They were COM
PEELED to go through the distributing
room TO get down stairs. A panic was
the result of the messengers infOrma-
tiOn, and the young women screamed,
while the men rushed pell-mell down
stairs to escape the flames, which in
less than two minutes had spread al
most over the entire distributing room,
burning up wires, instruments and
tables as if they were so much finder.
There were four men and three women
on the seventh floor. Seeing escape cut
off from every quarter, there was an
awful panic. The young women were
mattresses in the restaurant and the
men were cooks and choremen. The
women rushed around the restaurant
screaming and wringing their hands.
One Of the men, finding there was no
possible means of escape downward,
rushed for the scuttlehole in the roof.
The trap door was pushed off and the
prisoners climbed to the roof. A long
ladder was rushed up OH the roof of
8 Dey street and placed against the
rear of the burning building. 1t did
not reach within fifty feet of the West
ern Union roof. Undaunted, however,
two firemen scaled the ladder and
threw rope to the roof. Itwas caught
and tied by one of the brave girls. who
seemed never to lose her nerve. The
two firemen pulled themselves up,
hand-over-hand, until they reached the
top of the burning building, and amid
chez rs from the thousands below, they

SUPERIOR, Wis, July 1S.-About two
weeks ago the city council adopted a
resolution ordering the board of public
works to place a clause in all contracts
let for public work stipulating that
common laborers be paid 50 per day.
This afternoon conference was held.
at which the mayor, the leading attor-
neys of the city and several aldermen
were present. Among the legal frater-
nifty representatives was S. n. Plnney'
of Madison, specsel council for the city.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of the
lawyers that the clause referred to
would invalidate contracts containing
it. 1t is believed now that the resolu-
ton will be rescinded and contracts
already awarded withheld and new
bids called for. This will not affect the
position of the laborers. as all are now
being paid 80 day.
