Delegates to Minneapolis.
DIES MONIES, March 1.-The Republi-
can county convention was captured Sat
urday by the Prohibitlonists. At a recent
meeting of the state central committee,
Mr. A. b. Cummins, pronounced anti
Prohibitionist, was agreed upon as tenn
porary chairman of the approaching state
Republican convention. This action of
the committee aroused the greatest in
dignation ON the part of the Prohibition
lists, and they began organizing to defeat
the election of Cummins as delegate to
the state convention. They were there
fore on hand in large numbers Saturday
and accomplished their purposes.
Divided as to Harrison.
Conventions were held in eight Iowa
counties Saturday to select delegates to
the Republican state convention. Four

rison, three delegations are anti-Harrison,
and one is unpledged Polk county, the

OTTAWA, Ont, March 16.-Thomas Earle.
member of parliament for Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia, speaking to The Ottawa
Free Press of the attitude of the United
States government because of Lord Sails
bury's refusal to renew the modus vivendi
Of last year, says that the British govern
ment cannot consistently assist in enfOrc-
ing regulations prescribed by the United
States congress for the protection of seals
in the Behring sea, while at the same time
time denying the right of congress to make
any such regulations.
A New View of the Case.
at seems to me-" said Mr.. Earle, "that
the question of jurisdiction or ownership
over the seal fisheries of Behring sea
should be determined before any action is
taken toward protecting the seal. If the
Americans have no jurisdiction over those
waters then any laws made on the sub
ject of seal protection by the congress are
null and void and incapable of enforce
ment Until the court of arbitration has
declared that the United States has exclu-
sive jurisdiction over the Behring sea fish
cries it would be absurd for Great Britain
to agree to the enforcement of regulations
made by the American congress for the
protection of such fisheries. The people
of the United States must see that the
position of their government upon that
point is untenable."

AsHEvILLE, N. c., March 16 j. S.
Clarkson, chairman of the Republican
national committee, who came to Ashe-
Vile four weeks ago to try and arrest a
siege of infammatory rheumatism, came
too late, and has had a severe and painful
attack of it. To a press representative
he denied that he was candidate for the
presidency in any sense. The man to
nominate was a man who can poll the full
party vote and draw others to his support.
Blaine was such man.
Other Candidates in the Ring.
1t looked like Alger, Cullom and Blair
were in the race; also Rusk, Henderson
and Mckinley. Either would make
good candidate. President Harrison had
added to the glory of the name of the
country and of the party. He had grown
steadily in public estimation and in the
last year rapidly in party estimation.
1t was not unlikely, and, indeed probable,
that he might be chosen again. II the
party was left free to make up it's mind
and no effort was made which would
change the dignity of his position nor put
him in the light of scrambling for renomi-

sprang forward and dispatched him.
We had dismounteti, and detail of sol-
dicrs was holding. the horses. Some
times a wolf would advance straight to-
ward the line, and. insist on attacking
some one man. Had they been lcss
frightened the fight would have been
very unequal, but in their terrified con-
dition they fell an. easy prey and were
killed. The line pressed closer. leaving

had turned back in the morning. He
would not advance, and as he was too
strong to be safely attacked with clubs
we were debating whether we should
not suspend the rules and shoot him.
He was turning slowly and clumsity

possible, and all of sudden, as his
back turned toward us. the Navajo who
had killed the wolf in the morning
leaped forward with the swiftness and

GREASE IN CARPETS.

You Can Remove II II fou Use Ether and
Ch1oroform.
= In the weaving OF pile IA br1cs little
oil is occasionally used to facilitate the
movement of the vires and avery care
less weaver may in handling the oil can
allow few drops to fall on the fabric.
No mark of this may appear at the time.
but when the carpet is on the floor the
DUST which would otherwise be swept
off by the broom is attracted and held
by the oil, and spot becomes visible,
When the spot is on or near the edge OF
Z, breadth there is another explanation.
Sometimes the cars in which carpeting
is carried south or west have been pre-
viouslv used for the transportation OF
oil, and the bottoms of these cars are
liable. to become saturated with the
drippings and leakage of oil barrels.
Woolen carpeting placed in sash cars
may absorb the oil. and the fact may
not become evident to the dealer until a
carpet so damaged has been laid on
floor or shown in his salesroom often
enough to catch some dust. When such
spots appear in ingrains one eNplana-
ton may be that the wool was not
property secured. but of course, in
most instances where complaints con-
corning spots are made, the cause need
not be looked for outside the. house in
which the carpet is laid. Children or
careless servants are responsible for
most of these spots as well as for great
deal of the "sprouting. Fortunately
the remedy for the trouble Is simple. A
mixture consisting of equal portions OF
chloroform and ether will remove the
spots at once.-Carpet Trade Review.
