Lyon All Right.

1t is now conceded by all the Demo-
Gratis to Mondays convention that
the nomination of Frank w. Lyon
for County Attorney, was duly
passed by the convention, and
unanimously; but that the omission
of his name from the minutes was an
oversight on the part OF OF the
secretary. This is easily accounted
for, by the fact that the fight for the
Office Of Judge of probate came up
Immediately and in the excitment
which followed, the unanimous
nomination Of Mr.. Lyon was
overlooked
Even were this not the case it is
not likeley that an error of this kind
would cut much of a figure, as by
the authority vested in the chairman
Of the meeting he can fill in any
vacancies which may have occurred.

The Court Calendar.

e. Staples, clerk Of the district
court has completed the civil and
criminal calendar for the September
term Of the district court which
conyenes next Monday. The total
number OF cases on the docket
number So, of which seven are
criminal cases and 43 civil actions,
anumber OF these latter are cases
which We're continued over from last
term.
The district court bids fair to be
flooded with divorce suits. If the
cases pile up at the rate they have
been coming in lately, Little Falls
will soon have a reputation second
only to that of Sioux Falls. There
are eight cases in the calander which
is large showing for a county the
size OF Morrison. These cases are
Louis Patterson VS.. Ingra Patter-
son, Christiana e. Osell VS.. Andrew
Osell, Frank Schlief' VS.. Orilda j.
Schlief, Anna KeHo VS.. Albert Keffio,
Selma Olson VS.. Olaf Olson, Lillian
B. Clark VS.. James B. Clark Christina
Lamb vs.. John Lamb and the suit of
Alexander Rundeau against Adele
Rundeau.
Propally the most sensational suit
on the whole calendar is that
brought by j. J. Rassier against
P. j. Tomelty, OF this city. The par-
ticulars were published some time
ego, at the time the action was COM
menced. There is also a question
which will come up for settlement, of
a religious nature, as Rev. S. Sled
lecki, has suit against John Kukla
A murder which occurred about ten
years ago will be recalled by the suit
OF the state against Joseph B. Rich
ner, charged with rape.
The litigation over the Ant,ers
hotel will be brought up in a suit
brought by Samuel Castleinan
agaist the Little Falls Hotel COM
pany, a corporation. William Biti-
man, who is charged with breaking
into a saloon about year ago and
stealing quantity OF goods, will be
called upon to prove his innocense.
In addition to the cases mentioned
there are others, which are of more
interest to the parties in litigation.

ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY,
(TO Rcpubl;caEs.)
The Democratic County Ticket Con-
structed Oh the Old Lines of
Nationality.

The Democratic county convention
that adjourned yesterday nominated
Il ticket that, in u great measure
deserves defeat, and will meet with
determined opposition from Republic
cans and others who believe that
other considerations than party
expediency should be considered in
naming county officers.
As a matter OF personal choice the
majority OF the delegates evidently
favored Casey for. treasurer and
Simmons for Judge of Probate, but
the Office of treasurer was "conceded"
to the Germans, therefore Casey was
turned down and in order to
recognize" the Polish element the
convention placed Trettle in nomin-
alton. Two years ago F. w. Lyon
was the only man on the Democratic
ticket who had any opposition and
had no "nationality" to strengthen
him, and he was swamped. The
complete subservience of yesterdays
convention to the "nationality" plea,
was a disgrace to local politics and
it gives the Republicans the best
chance they ever had to elect large
part OF the county ticket. The Demo-
Gratis who were nominated to hold
certain elements, may be able to do
so for the rest of the ticket, but the
rest of the ticket cannot save them
from defeat. A complete and strong
Republican county ticket should be
placed in the field, and a united fight
for good men will result in victory.
The Democrats sacrificed SO much of
honor and fairness in the nominations
in order to get q "strong" ticket
that they over-reached themselves,
and the result is an usually weak
cOmbina ton.

A Handsome Gift.

This morning Major Morril pre-
sented the Catholic hospital with a
very beautiful and expensive gift.
1t was a large painting which has
been in his family over thirty years,
and is entitled "The alteration OF the
Mages." 1t was painted as early as
1897, by one Of the old Italian
masters, and is worth considerable.
The major promised the painting
to the sisters sometime ago, and
gave them an agreeable surprise this
morning, by taking it to the building
and hanging it on the wall. 1t is
Major Morrill's intention to furnish
a ward in the hospital also.

The Schools.

Entrance examination for the Diff
ferent grades OF the schools will be
held Saturday, Sept. 18th, at o'clock
a. IN. Pupils living on the West side
will meet at the Lincoln school build
ing. Those living on the East side,
at the High School building. Those
who received promotion cards last
Spring will not be examined. All
other pupils, as a matter of justice
to themselves, must attend the ent-
rance examinations or not be admit
ted to their classes on Monday. This
rule is made necessary on account Of
the large number of new pupils who
will enter the schools this year, and
Enc impossibility of properly organic
ing the schools, and of attending to
the examination OF pupils on the
same day.

1863 PEOPLE.

That is What the New City Directory
Indicates For Little Falls.
Haines & Stone have completed the
canvass OF the city for their new di-
rectOry, and careful count of the
people shows that the population OF
the city is now 1860, being nearly
double the figures for 1890, when the
government census showed 1854.
The growth OF the city has certainly
been rapid, but it is particularly sat
isfactory to be able to demonstrate
that the city has doubled it's popula-
ton in the short space Of two years.
The prospects for continued growth
We're never better.

WAS LYONS NOMINATED ?
That is the Question Worrying the
Democrats.

That is the Question Worrying the
Democrats.
When quiet afterthought came to
some of the Democrats this morning,
an amusing and at the same time
embarrassing situation stared them
in the face. The long continued fight
Of several hours duration had wear
led more than one Of them out physi-
cally and mentally. After the last
ballot on the contested county COM
missioner from the fifth district,
everyon was in a hurry to adjourn,
what little business remained to be
done was finished in a hurry and the
meeting adjourned. This morning in
talking the result over, after the
smoke OF the battle had cleared
away, several of those who had been
present at the entire convention from
beginning to the end could not call
to mind that F. w. Lyons had been
placed in nomination. Neither of the
newspaper reports made mention OF
such motion, and reference was
then made to the secretary's min
utes, only to find that Mr.. Lyons
had no credit on that important
document.
Here was u complication with a
vengence. Could it be possible that
Lyons had been ignored, as well as
the Office it self. on account of his
straight American blood? 1t GER
tainly looked that way. During the
day a Transcript reporter talked
with large number of prominent
democrats who had attended the
convention, but none of them had
any distinct recollection of Mr.. Lyons
nomination.
There was hardly delegate who
was not credited by some one, wifi
having moved his nomination or at
least seconded it. Late this after
noon it was given out that the mo-
ton had been made by Mr.. Grevel,
and seconded by Mr.. Lafond.
If Of no other use the incident is OF
value to show in what a wildcat
and carlcss manner the business of
the Democratic party is carried on
within it's own lines. If they We're at
the head OF tue government, would
they be any more careful?

The City's Health.

The matter of the city's health is
receiving serious consideration at
the present time from the board of
health. One Of the most fruitful
sources of disease and death in all
cities are the cess pools and vaults
scattered all over the city. The
members of the board fully realize
the danger from this source, and
have taken steps to abatc the nuis-
ance. City attorney Lyons has been
requested to draw up q resolution
covering this matter, which will be
presented to the board at it's next
meeting, when it will undoubtedly
be passed.
The resolution will, in effect, be to
order all cess pools and vaults along
the line of the water mains to be fill
ed up and connections made with
the water and sewer systems of the
city.
While it will not be possible to
abolish all such sources OF threat
ened danger at one time, Il step in
the right direction can be made this
fall, and should be made at once.
