WOMEN'S VOTES.

County Auditor Randall recently
wrote to the secretary of state at ST..
Paul for instructions as to how women
should vote for county superintendent
under the new Australian election
law. This law makes no provisions as
to how women shall vote. The secre-
tary of state replied that separate
tickets should be provided for women,
containing only the candidates for the
office of county superintendent. These
tickets shall be put into a separate
ballot box.
The order in which the various par
ties appear on the general ticket is
determined by lot. After the conven-
tions in this county, the chairmen of
of the various county COMMITTEES will
meet with the auditor and draw lots
for first place, second place, etc. For
example, should the Republican COM
mitteeman secure first place, the
names of the Republican candidates
will head the lists of candidates for
the various Offices

THE SHERIFFALTY.

There are in The Republican party
two candidates for the office of sheriff.
One, w. L. Perrin, we mentioned yes
terday. The other is BENZ. Williams,
of Judson, who has been in the field
for nomination for some time and has
the promise of goodly backing at
Tuesdays convention. He is young
farmer, is a favorite among his
friends, and has wide acquaintance
over the county. He is a rustler, and
if nominated would give Mr.. Glynn a
hard pull. Everything that has been
said in favor of Mr.. Glynn applies
with equal force to Mr.. Williams. The
latter is an old resident of the county,
has cast his fortunes with the farm
ing industry, and has many friends
who would like to see him elected.
Whatever action the convention
takes, the party will have good man,
and will go before the voters with
confidence.

BECAUSE Carl Schurz and few
other wealthy Germans, mostly i'm
porters in New York, have signed a
letter asking the voters of their
nationality to vote for Cleveland, a
few of the Democratic editors have
an idea that Democracy has the Ger
man-American vote of this country in
its vest pocket. But that party will
realize next November that this class
of voters are an intelligent class who
do their own thinking. 1t will also
find that the men who are making
such recommendations are not re-
garded as leaders by their countrymen,
and it will find further that this class
are loyal Americans and as such will
vote to protect the best interests of
their adopted country. To attempt
to lead them off on the strength of
Grover Cieveland's labor record, is a
scheme that won't work. Mr.. Cleve-
lands record does not lie along the
path favorable to the labor interests
of this country.

GLANDERED HORSES.
(From the Minnesota Horseman).

(From the Minnesota Horseman).
r. II, Donaldson, V. S., was recent
ly called upon by the Board of Health
OF Madelia, Mimi, to investigate a
case of supposed CHAMBERS. Upon ex-
animation the doctor found one of
the animals to be, as he expressed it,
the best defined case of CHAMBERS he
ever saw. He found four of the five
horses on the place to be affected by
this terrible disease, and they were
ordered shot, and the order was full
filled. 1t is believed that the trouble
originated about eight years ago. The
party who owned these horses traded
horses with peddler about that
time, and the horse he got in ex-
change had the CHAMBERS, and his
other horses got the disease from him.
Since that time he has lost some
eighteen horses with this disease, but
has kept the matter concealed until
recently. 1t is believed by some that
the man himself has now the same
disease, as he showed very fair sym
toms at the time of investigation.
Now this is not right and should not
be. Any party owning horse that
he suspects to be diseased should call
competent veterinarian and have
the case examined, for in such cases
he is bound to lose the horse in the
end, and is doing the unjust act of ex.
posing all his neighbors' stock, and
more than that he endangers his own
life, and the lives of all others who
have to be around them. What we
really need is a State Veterinarian
who should have authority to examine
any stock in the state that is suspect.
ed to be affected by this disease. But
as it is the public has to wait until
the Board of Health of the town in
which the difficulty lies, happens to
see fit to have the matter Investigate
ed, which often proves to be too late
or at least not until considerable dam.
age has been done.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Special. Sept
1.-The President arrived at the White
House about 500 a. M, and immedi
ately called conference of govern.
ment officials to meet at the White
House for consultation at noon, as tc
the cholera situation and consider
what further measures, if any, should
be adopted by the Government to pre-.
vent the introduction of cholera in
this country.
Until the conference is concluded
nothing definite can be stated as to
what action, if any, will be taken.
The president, though not alarmed,
fully comprehends the gravity of the
situation; nothing which the general
government may properly do to lessen
the chancts of cholera invasion will
be left undone.

ATTEND THE FAIR.

1t has been most truthfully said
that county fair is farmers school.
Here they can gather and consult,
compare notes and profit by the ex-
perience of their fellow farmers.
Every farmer in Blue Earth county
ought to be present at the annual
county fair at Garden City, Sept. 21st,
22d and 23d. The information which
they gain will more than repay them
for the time it will take them from
their work. The management of the
society is doing everything possible
to make it one of the best and most
attractive fairs ever held in the
county, aud in this they should have
the hearty cooperation of the entire
farming community. On the last day
of the fair Congressman Lind will de-
liver an address, which none should
fail to hear Take day off and go to
the fair.

THE arrival yesterday, at New York,
of the steamship Moravia, of the Ham
burg-American line, reporting %
deaths on board from cholera during
passage, makes it imperative that the
most radical measures be taken by the
authorities of this country in regard to
communication with infected districts
abroad, and prohibit all immigration.
Such a step should have been taken
upon the first appearance of the dis
ease at any port in communication
with this country. From immigrants
is where the greatest danger lies, and
though they may pass most rigid in
spection, their household effects are
liable to contain germs of the disease
and so spread it. The government
owes it to the people of this country
to use every precaution possible, even
to the. sus pension of ocean traffic
with ports where cholera RACES.
While those in position to know, do
not regard the northwest in any par
particular danger from the plague,
yet the duty of every city, town and
village to clean up cannot be to fOrci-
bly, impressed upon the public.

JACKSON, Mich. Aug. 31.-Edward
Runtley 20-year-old Detroit burglar;
John Davis, 15-year-old burglar, from
Kalamazoo, and "Lige'' Billiard, sent
from Detroit for six years for assault
with attempt to kill, tried to escape

prison wall. Huntly and Davis were
fatally shot and Bullard was captured.
Aug. IL, 1891, both Huntly and Davis
escaped by climbing the walls. Huntly
was caught in two months and Davis
was extradited from Canada.
The attempt was made at o'clock
and was timed to advantage. The con-
victs secreted ladder inside the wall
and with this attempted to make their
escape. Guards at once discovered the
men and commenced shooting. Hunt,
ley was shot twice and Davis received a
ball in the hip. Neither will live. Bull

Wisconsin Treasury Cases.

MADISON, Aug. 31.-The supreme
court will hear arguments in the treas
ury cases commencing about next Satur-
day or Monday. The arguments it is
thought will continue for most week.
Senator Villas, Attorney General O'Con-
nor and R. M. Bassford will all make
addresses on behalf of the state, while
c. W. Felker, General Charles, Joshua
Stark and probably one or two others
will speak for the defendants. Villas
will sum up for the prosecution while
Felker will make the leading argument
for the defense. In this suit the actual
defendants are ex-Treasurers H. G. Har-
shaw and G. M. McFetridge. The claim
against thelatter amounts to about $685.
600 and against the former to 100000.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

AS has been stated previously, Geo.
w. Scherer is a candinate for nomin.
alton as county superintendent of
schools at the hands of the Republic
an county convention. He is grad
uate of the Normal school and has
taught successfully and is in every
way qualified to discharge the duties
of the position. He has never held
an office, but as editor of the Post for
many years he did good service for
the Republican party, and is deserv-
ing ofreward at it's hands. Mr.. Scher-
er is an active, energetic young man,
and would undoubtedly render valu-
able service to the schools of the
county. He is the only Republican
whose name we have heard mention
ed in connection with the nomination
and he will undoubtedly receive it
unanimously, in which case he will
certainly be elected.

AGENT WESTON PROMOTED.

Agent E. M. Weston, of the Chicago
& Northwestern, returned from Wi
mona last night in happy frame of
mind. While there he received the
information that he had been pro-
NOTED to be travelling freight agent
of the road with headquarters at
Winona. His territory will include
Minnesota and the Dakotas, except
south of Iroquois. His appointment
takes effect today but he will not re-
move from the city before Oct. 1st.
His promotion was occasioned by the
promotion of III. @. Garvin, T. f. A.,
to the general agency. 1t is a recog-
milton of merit which Mr.. Weston S
Mankato friends will rejoice in while
regretting to lose him and his estima-
BILE family. He has been the efficient
agent Of the company at this point for
three years past, and his official and
social relations with the business men
have been most pleasant. The pro-
motion is a deserved recognition of
valuable services.
G.. E. Johnson, of Zumbrota, will
succeed Mr.. Weston as agent at this
city, and will arrive in the course of a
week with his family. He is said to
be a rustler for business and very
pleasant gentleman socially.
