owner to the property turns up to claim
it. On the night of Sept. Is. shortly

the information that he was a travelling

He wanted to leave the horse and buggy

hour of his previous appearance or later,

connection with the firm of Strong,
Hackett q Co., and added that he had
just come in from his Dakota trip for

to his residence oil the hill, as his
wife wanted to use the animal next

man has not been seen at the
barn since, and his story of
employment by a local firm

THE RIGHT HALL.

The st, Paul Globe on Monday pub
lished in full the great tariff speech de-
livered at Shakopee by Hon. o. M. Hall,
Democratic candidate for congress in
the Third district. He ably discussed
the various questions which are promi-
nent in the minds of the people of this
country. 1t should be read by every
voter in the Third district. and if he is
right Halo. NJ, of course.--Sleepy
Eye Herald.
The Democracy of the Third district
did a noble days work by nominating
Hon. o. M. Hall candidate for congress.
Mr.. Hall has been an earnest and con-
SiStent tariff reformer for years, and
was among the first to call the attention
of the people to the danger and injus-
tice of a high protective tariff, and his
voice has been heard in the cause of
tariff reform i'll every campaign for
years. He is an able man, and has the
courage of his convictions. and his in
tegrity none can question. If the voters
of the Third district send Mr.. Hall to
congress, they will certainly feel that
their interests will not be neglected.
Cannon Falls Beacon.
Mr.. Hall fitted himself for the prac-
tice of the law. He is a Democrat, be-
cause he believes in the principles of
his party. He is able and is willing to
make a general canvass. and will speak
in all parts of the district before the
close of the season, and the more he is
seer and heard the more votes he will
receive. No better nomination could
have been made, and if personal quail
ifications and correct principles have
anything to do with the anvass he will
be elected by the largest majority ever
given a candidate in this district

CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATS.

The GLOBE, in speaking of the nomination
of o. NJ. HALL for congress-, said he was "a
scholar, a gentleman and a Christian Demo-
crat.n Great Scott. A christian Demo-
crat.!' What's that? Never before having
seen the the phrase used, we would humbly
request of the GLoGE that they would give us
the meaning of it. We have a dim idea of
Its meaning. We now what a Christian is,
and we also know what a Democrat is; but
to combine the two-no. it is impossible. The
GLOBE has simply made a mistake, or it is a
campaign lie gotten up to draw from the Re-
publican ranks.-Glencoe Register.
We are astonished at the benighted
condition of the Glencoe editor. No
wonder he is a Republican.
TO be Il good Democrat involves the
acceptance of Christian precepts.
Christianity teaches justice and fair
dealing between men.
So does Democracy.
Christianity enfOrces the doctrine that
che laborcr is worthy of his hire.
So does Democracy.
Christianity denies the right of one
man or of one class to Cypress another.
So does Democracy.
Christ went into the temple, with
whip in hand, and drove the stock bro
kerS, the money changers, and the mo-
nopolists from its sacred precincts.
The Democrats propose to perform
the same purifying process at the ma
tional capital.
Solomon says: "a false balance is an
abomination to the Lord"
On the same principle the Democratic
party opposes the watering of railway
stocks, the creation of trusts. the form
alton of combines, and the numerous
other devices to get something for moth
ing which have been made possible
by Republican legislation.
The Christian doctriue is that govern
ments are established for the benefit of
the governed, and not for the protection
OF autocracy and plutocracy.
That is the Democratic platform.

DANGER.

New interest will attach to the mani
festations of hypnotism and mental
telepathy or thought transference if
the scientists of the day are to evolve
from them evidence of the perpetuity Of
life. That was the claim presented in a
popular pulpit of the city yesterday,
based upon the recent deliveries of men
recognized as among the best scientific
thinkers. If this is the case, it will
give Unreasonable dignity to what have
been looked upon as but curious freaks
of small significance. The point at
hand is simply to caution the unframed
against tampering with processes they
do not comprehend. Many people can
put others into the hypnotic state, and
in some recent instances very seri-
Gus consequences have ensued from in

introduction to the people of the Second dis
trict, nor to the people of the state of Min

Mr.. Wilkinson's election is not only
possible, but probable. In 1883 he car
RED the home county Of John Lind,
Brown, and poiled no less than 16,4SO
votes. Mr.. Lind had %, 1899. and d. W.
Edwards, ProhibitiOnist. had 1924 votes.
The total vote was 45,003. This year,
owing to the rapid growth of Watonwan,
jackson, PipeStone, Rock, Murray and
the rest of the twenty counties of the
district. it is safe to say that the
vote will be at least 1900. OF
this Senator Wilkinson has started out
to get 10000. If Gen. Baker gets 1000
out of the 10000 he is claiming it is. not
at all difficult to figure out Mr.. Wilkin-
sons election. The Democracy of South
western Minnesota was never be-
fore. in such splendid fight
ing trim as it is to-day.
Ithas been but a few years since the
Mankato Review was the only Demo-
cratic paper in the entire southwestern
portion of the state, but to-day all this
is changed. Nearly every county has a
sound and staunch Democratic paper,
and, as a natural consequence, the
Democratic voters are feeling hopeful.
Things are dreadfully mixed politi-
cally liz Senator Hixon's district. He
has the Alliance nomination, although
it will by no means carry with it the
Alliance vote. He and o. O. Canes
torpe, Of Grant. are both claiming the
Republican nomination, and now the
Democrats propose to nominate Hon.
George 1. Becker, and elect him over
the candidates of the warning Republi-
can factions. Mr.. Becker is a son of
that distinguished Democratic leader,
Gen. George l.. Becker, president of the
railway commission, and the chances
are decidedly favorable to his election
this year.

These hot days when the matn door
leading to the senate chamber is kept
open, there is a vista through the long
line of arches from the house to the
senate through which one standing
in the rOtunda can see on either
hand into the house or into the
senate on a line as straight as a
bee flies. The presiding officers
of the two houses face each other with
all this waste of arches between. Look

see thatit is Ingails-he is more often
in the chair than is Mr.. Morton during
this tedious tariff debate. Strangers
walking toward the senate from the
house never fail to stop and stare if they
see the thin form and o~dd-shaped head
of ingalls, at the end of the long CORR
dor. A colleague who had been study
ing him from this point of view told a
story ON him the other day, which is
good, though new only in its applica-
ton.
He said that some years ago Mr.. In
gals had an Office in the same building
with a doctor in Kansas. The doctors
Office was just below that Of Mr.. Ingalls,
and in it was a closet which the doctor
could never keep closed, on account of
the curiosity of his patients. One day
he thought ne would further excite, and
then crafty this curiosity. He hung
all articuIated skeleton on the inside of
the closet door, then closed, the door
carefully and put on the outside a not
ice not to open. Tie first person to en-
ter the room was the boy who served
the morning papers. He saw the notice
n at once opened the closet door. The
skeleton came tumbling down on him
with its arms and legs outstretched.
With a wild cry the boy rushed from
the buildidg. The cry attracted ingalls,
to the window and, seeing the boy run
ming OFF without leaving his paper, he
called to him to return. The boy looked
back with terror.
No you don't, Mr.. Skeleton" he
cried. know you if you have got your
clothes on"
