From the way the Democrats were
hustling to-day it is evident that they
derived considerable consolation from
the two speeches yesterday. The little
office back of the municipal court room
is the trusting place for Democrats OF
the city, county and district. A stream

heard Owen yesterday afternoon were
considerably disappointed in him. His
pessimistic views of the present were
too dark and hopeless even for the good
Alliance man. His belief in absolute
free trade, SURPRISING the Democrats
even, found no response from the aud
fence, for his hearers were intelligent
enough to know that, as Wilson said, no
one now wants free trade, and the idea
is an old back number.

terday for keeping disorderly house
resulted in her being found guilty. She
was sentenced to pay fine of $25 and
costs, but the fine was suspended on hel
payment of the witness fees, $3.50, and

evening, together with her husband
The department of the pair during the
trial was amusing to those present, par.
ticularly when the defendant would
grab her attorney by the ear for the
purpose of attracting his attention tc
her advice. The police are glad thai

The st. Peter Tribune says that or
Sunday morning last the dead body O.
Alois Fogele, farmer living few miles
south of town, was found under load o.
lumber. Is seem that Fogele was in

arrived about six o'clock in the evening
and deemed no inquest necessary. He
