BEFORE THE CONVENTION.
A Review of the Situation as it Ap.
peared Last Night.

GRAND FORKS, July 2S-l Especial cor
respondencel The situation is taking
shape. The delegatesAre about all on
the ground and the factions know about
where they stand. Today has been one
of caucussing and wire pulling. The
Johnson -Hansbrough fight will be car
ried into the struggle for the temporary
organization. At this writing (Monday
night) johnson is confident that he will
he nominated for congress. He states
that aside from the contested delegations
there are 163 members of the conven.
tion pledged to his support; only some
political trlck-and the opposition are
resorting to many of them-can defeat
him for the position which the citizens
Of the state generally desire him to Sc
cure. Hansbrough talks in a confident
manner. but it is suspected that he is
talking to keep his courage up. 1t now
appears that he must depend on superior
shrewdness if he hopes to win. Hans
brough is a skillful organizer and his
only hope of success lies in the possibil-
ity of making winning combination.
johnson will combine with no one. At
present there is no necessity for such
action. He is winner on his own
merits. Hansbrough said tonight:
II am to be the nominee of this con-
vention; believe this as sure as a man

against Mr.. johnson, but believe man

second term-even il he does fairly WE'LL
Mr.. johnson made a personal canvass
against me in our county-something
unprecedented in :Le history of politics
so far as I know or am informed, and
then beat him and my delegates will be
seated here Just as they were last year.
You ask who called our county corven-
ton to order; don't want to say. That

. There Is nothing new in the guberna-
torial situation. All the candidates are
here and have established headquarters
at the Hotel Dacotah. Mr.. Lords head
quarters are at room so; Captain Burke
has parlor B; NJ. N. johnson, parlor g.;
and Mr.. Walsh, rooms So and 81. Mr..
Lords candidacy devolps strength every
hour and he now appears to be in the
race. He has made a splendid record in
the foreign service Of the government,
and as member of congress from Mlchi-
gan, representing Detroit. He has lived
in Dakota since the first house was built
in the northwest portion of it, and is
known to nearly all the public men of
the state.
No one seems able to tell who will be
nominated for governor. Burke is prob.

county's 20 delegates.
It is too early to predict as to temper.
ary organization. It was figured ont
that there were more than enough un.
contested delegates from the slope, the
Jim valley and elsewhere to effect the
organization. Little can be done until
the convention ground is reached.
The convention will consist of 29S del.
egates. It will require $50 for a majority
The Fargo convention last year consist
ed of 259 delegates and the admission OF
delegates from unorganized counties
brought the number up to 26l. 1t will
be remembered that the test votes stood
131 to 13O-that was the vote which
elected Johnson permanent chairman.
Dennis Hannifin expects to sleep on
two chairs and be around when the brush
is taken at the convention. He says that
if Miller is re-nOminated he, Dennis,
will break his mind up. Denny is te-
totaler now, drinks hot water for break
fast, eats but one meal day, and let's
his mind run to extreme channels for a
regular occupation. He says the opposi-
tion to the Burleigh county caucuses
was only a shadow. He is full of dark
and suggestive political predictions. The
heavens present to his vision very
threatening political appearance.
The Morton county delegations-three
of the contestants only-and the Bur-
leigh county delegation were on yester-
days No. 2. They were joined by most
Of the Stutsman county members and at
Fargo met large number from the
counties along the Fargo & Southwest
ern. All spent the day at Fargo at the
headquarters hotel, where Landlord La
Monte made them all entirely happy
and satisfied A. H. Burke, Cass conn-
tvs favorite for governor, opened head
quarters for the day in the hotel and
many of the delegates made him friendly
calls. Mr.. Burke will have some warm
friends and hard fighters in the delega-
tion.
A Grand Forks telegram says: NJ. N.
Jonson, OF Dakota, candidate for con-
gress, arrived in the city tonight from
Devils Lake, where he attended the con-
vention today. Johnson reports a
sweeping victory there, and says the
Hansbrough men didn't dare come to the
convention, but sneaked away and held
a convention of their own. In reply to a
query johnson said his nomination for
congressman was assured. He would be
nominated by acclamatlon. There are
contests for Cavalier, Ramsey, Cass and
Grand Forks COUNTIES. The contest for
the latter county is causing intense ex-
element. Delegates from the regular
convention are moving heaven and earth
to prevent the contest materializing on
Tuesday.

A Cure for Hydrophobia.
From the Troy Times.

From the Troy Times.
DIR. David D. Toal is a physician
aud druggist on Avenue p, New
York. However successful he may
be in general practice, he doesn't base
his claim for public recognition upon
that, but upon his discovery of what
he is confident is an infailible cure
for hydrophobia. The discovery is
not new one. Nineteen years ago
he employed 1t with marked success
and since that time has had several
opportunities of testing It's eff
cheney. In one case he was not called
until the patient was in the most ter
rible spa SIMS, six men being required
to hold him. DIR. Toal treated him
and the next day the alarming symp-
toms had entirely passed, and in a
few days a complete cure was eff
tected.
Other cases equally critical have
yielded to the DOCTORS treatment, and
apparently he has good ground for
thinking that hyrophobia can be
promptly and completely cured. The
public will have the more confidence
in his statements from the fact that
he does not advertise that he alone
can perform the cure, but, on the con-
trary, does not hesitate to tell the in
gradients of the prescription he uses:
1t is:
.Iodide of potassium, four drachms;
tincture of Peruvian bark two ounces;
simple syrup, four ounces. For hyd-
rophobla, either before or after the
symptoms have appeared, the dose In
ordinary cases is teaspoonful three
times day, after each meal. This is
to be continued one week. In cases
where the symptoms are somewhat
developed a tablespoonful is to be
taken. Should the patient be in such
a condition as not to be able to swal-
low, the medicine can be given by in
lection, and produces similar results.
The doctor does not favor cauteriz-
ing the wounds made by the bites of
dogs or other animals. He advises
the use of salve composed of extract
of belladonna one scruple, resin ONT
ment 12 ounces. This he says will
act very powerfully in drawing out
the poison if it is applied to the
wound every four hours during the
period that the other medicine is tax
en-. In the last nineteen years DR..
Toal has used these prescriptions 1000
times, and claims that not single
case thus treated has resulted disas-
trously.
The Toal method of hydrophobia
treatment appears worthy of at least
careful investigation. If, as the Doc
tor claims, the dreaded disease yields
readily to prescriptions within the
reach of every practitioner the facts
can not be circulated too speedily.
Thorough tests should be made un,
der circumstances which will admit |
of 10 doubts as to the results, and ii
Toal is correct in his conclusions he
should receive all the credit attach
ing to q medical discovery of the
highest Importance. But there should
be no ignorant fooling with this or
any other prescription.

knows whether he can spenu time in

which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for a law to sup

A well dressed mar recently entered a

to be shown suspenders. Presently after
due investigation he selected a certain
style and inquired Of the salesman how
many pairs he had in stock. Eight was
the number and he took the lot, the
clerk meanwhile looking at the custom
er with a suspicion as to his sanity.
There was method in the mans mad
ness. You see.' said he. when one
has a pair of suspenders for each pair of
trousers n one hangs the trousers by
the s~uspenders from the closet nail. the
dependant weight keeps the trousers in
shape and the bag out of the knees.
Moreover" continued this practical lat
ter day Beau Brummell. think of the
waste Of the time involved in the chang
ing Of ones s~uspenders every time one
changes ones trousers, let alone the
bother.
And her consider In such a case the
wear and tear in both suspenders and
trousers. Besides, one pair of trousers
may be longer or shorter than another,
and the s~uspenders, If they have not to
be changed, once adjusted properly, the
process of hosting up or down, which
causes an expenditure of time and pa
tience, is done away with. 1t is in
hnitely pleasanter and decidedly cheaper

Charley Howard was talking to Burke,

"Ah! Ihave plenty of it," answered
Mr.. Burke. "Quite a quantity"
Then as the stranger walked away

treasure he thought so valuable, Mr..

that the relic hunter is the biggest fool
on earth. Any relic he may want has
no value. 1t is simply question of how
much he is able to pay. | car always
