Couldn't wait for a Train.

Mr., A. W. Rowland, of Hollow
Rock, an old man seventy-fve years
of age, walked from that place to
Camden last Tuesday to pay taxes
on piece Of real estate in the tenth
civil district of this county, which
he owns. He said the reason he
walked was that no train was COM
ing this way when he got ready to
start, and he did not care to wait
for one. He left the money to pay
his taxes with County Clerk Steele
and returned home on the train
Wednesday morning.

REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.

Minneapolis has been decided
on by the national Republican ex-
eoutive. committee as the place for
holding the national Republican
convention. June 7 was selected
as the date for the conventions as
sembling. This is AN undisguised
acknowledgement that the alarm
felt in the Republican camp over
the unsettled condition of politics
in the, Northwest isgenuine. It'is
confession Of weakness among the
Republican bosses, and an attempt
to quell an impending political rev.
olutiOn in a heretofore Republican
stronghold. It is evident that the
bosses will have toconduct a vigor.
Gus fight to hold their own doubtful,
Statesin line, which will force then
to assume the defensive. The De,
mocracy Of the country will con
duct an aggressive campaign al
along the line.

The scheme of General MILES to
assemble an army Of 100000 sol
diers at Chicago during the open
ing Of the Columbian Exposition,
is better calculated to impress the
taxpayers of the country with the
absurdity of the thing than to i'm
press foreigners with the military
strength of the country; besides,
100000 men does not represent the
military strength of a large number
of States, but it would represent
more than 100000 of thepeople's
money to meet the expense of dis.
playing MILES.

POLITICAL POWER IN CONGRESS-

POLITICAL POWER IN CONGRESS.
In order that every one may I'M
derstand the political strength of
the next House of Representatives,
and the influence each grand divis-
ion of the country will have in the
deliberations of that body, it is nee
essary to know the political COM
plexiOR of its members in groups
as to locality,
The New England States will be
represented by IA Democrats and
- Republicans; the Middle States,
So Democrats and 80 Republicans !;
the Western States, so Democrats
and "a Republicans; the Pacific
States, 2 Democrats and 9 Repub-
licans the Southern States, 1909
Democrats, 8 Alliance, and 4 Re
publicans. In New England the
Democrats have a majority Of 2; in
the North, a majority of IA; in the
West, a majority of 26; and in the
South, with the Alliance vote, that
is sure to go with them, the Dem
Ocrats have LIZ of the 12l votes,
Thus the Democrats will have 235
votes and the Republicans 87-a
Democratic majority Of l48.
These figures, which are correct,
show that the Southern Democrats
will have liz votes and the North
ern Democrats 11S. For the first
time in the history Of the party the
Democrats of the South are in the
minority in Democratic caucus OF
the House Of Representatives. Not
including the III Southern mem,
bers, the party would still have g
majority of 81 votes in the House
But, according to late Washing,
tondispatches, the Democratsmem
bers from the different sections Of
the country are not all agreed as tt
the proper policies topursue in tht
incoming Congress. InNew Eng
land, the Democrats are opposed tx
the free coinage Of silver. while OF
the other hand the Democrats from
the South and West are pledged t.
favor a free coinage law. Asther
are probably IS Democrats whoar,
opposed to free silver, it isextreme
~ doubtful if, with the Republican
united with the, Democrats oppes
ed to it, free coinage law can b
: passed. It is conceded that tn
} question of free coinage will be a,
[ important factor in the selection Q

THIRD PARTNTEs JUBlLANT.
The Reelection Of Polk Regarded as
a Victory for the Peoples Party.

At the meeting OF the industrial
organizations at Indianapolis last
week, the third party delegates cap
tured the convention and were vic
torions in all the issues made in the
council Of that body, especially in
the election of officers, the adoption
of a report by the committee ON de-
mands declaring in favor Of indie
pendent political action (Which is
an endorsement Of the third party
and the adoption Of the Ocala plat
form with few slight changes.
Fridays Indianapolis dispatches
state thatthe captureof the Alliance
by the Peoplesparty was practically
accomplished two or three days pre-
vious, but the full extent of the cap
ture was not apparent until Thurs
day when President Polk was unan-
imously reelected. H. L. Loucks,
of South Dakota, was chosen vice
president. The leaders of the Peo-
Piles party are very jubilant over the
election of President Polk.
OF the four great leaders in the
Alliance, Messrs. Livingston, Ma
cune, Terrill and Polk, the latter
was regarded as the most favorable
to independent political action,
Mr.. Polk, in his annual address,
50 severely condemned the two old
parties, and in the address, as well
as between the lines, so strongly III
timated his tendencies to the Pe0-
pies party movement that the cleo
ton of either one of the other gen.
J tlemen mentioned would have been
:, regarded as a blow to the Peoples
party, while on the other hand the
reelection Of Polk is regarded as a
great victory for the Peoples party,
The election Of H. i. Loucks as
= viee-president is regarded as a still

he is member of the national com
mittee of the Peoples party.

Sketches Of Prominent Boot and Shoe Men, Their
SpeciaIties and Line OF Goods
Carried.

Paul is we'll proud of. Mr.. Lowering
has, in the past few years. enlarged
from small beginning to large Gus
tom shop. where all kinds of shoes are
made to fit feet. In addition to all this.
Mr.. Lowering established last spring an
OVergaiter and Logging factory on the
second floor of the building he now Oc-
cupies, which IS 40XlO0 feet. This bust
ness has increased in most wonderful
ratio. The shop has run since SeDtem-
ber every night until II p. M, except
ing Sundays, giving employment to
twenty 20 thirty hands. These over
CATERS are manufactured not only
for his own retail trade, but are sold to
dealers all over Southern and Western
states. MIR. Lowering is daily sending
goods to nearly every city and town be-
tween st. Paul and the Pacific coast.
His name is well known to the consu NJ
ers Of boots and shoes in every direc-
ton.
This is due to his strong, forward,
honest and upright dealings with his
customers, together with the reliable
goods which he always handles. Owing
to his unique and original way Of ad-
vertising his name is constantly spoken
of in connection with good shoes. Mr.
Lowering ENJOYS the largest retail trade
III the Western country. There is no
doubt his business is conducted in d
somewhat different manner than that of

Mr. H0relSh enjoys no mean reputa-
