The Minneapolis delegation, strength

Preparation for next weeks struggle.
SAM rancisco was the first of the cities
to hang out her banner this morning, and
Ed. Curtis was on hand bright and early
to receive any visitors that might come
his way. An Omaha man came down
into the city from the Arlington Hotel
this morning, with broad smile on his
face. He said: ''These Pacific Coast fell

Curtis in little room, seated on opposite

truthful in his Righteousness. Though
the rooms secured for the San Francisco
crowd are not as well situated or as large
as some of the others, they are not in
ferior rooms by any means.
For while this morning Curtis was
obliged to bear the brunt of the battle

no attention TO the warning, but threw
the rock in the direction of st. Pierre's
head, who, at the same moment, in self
defense, fired at Colman. The first bull
let did not, defendant believes, take any

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The Recorder

statement that he is taking no part in the

never declared himself as favoring Mills

why he was allowing his name to be used

average crop, and the production is in
creasing rapidly. New and large planta-
tions are being made every year. Olives
are fair average crop, and the produc
