Yesterday prisoner named Bob Day,
at the State Prison working in the
laundry was lifting some clothes from
the boiling water when the bench on

cipitating him into large tank of hot
water. He was for few moments
completely immersed. When he arose
he gave an agonizing cry for help and
several convicts rushed to the spot and
got him out His clothes were at once
removed and he was covered with

remedy. His face and body were
horribly scalded and his left arm lit

to half its natural size. DIR. Fox was

NEVADA MINES DESERTED.
Gov. COlcOrd Gives His Views of the
Situation.

A San Francisco dispatch of the
10th says: Governor Colcord of Ne
vada is in the city. Speaking of the
newspaper dispatch stating that nearly
all the quartz mills on the Carson
river are shut down and that there is
a general depression in Nevada owing
to the low price of silver, the Cover
nor said:
'"This is all true, and I may add
that we have not now dividend pay
ing silver mine in Nevada. Not one
of the Comstock mines is paying. The
Con. Virginia has not paid dividend
for five or six months. 1t is taking
out $780, 900 or $40, 900 a month, but
the expenses are more than this.
Many mines are not working at all.
There are no additional expenses
either, and no holding over of divid-
ends purposely. The situation is this:
With silver reduced to between 85
and 80 cents, as it has been lately and
is now, they cannot work the mines
at a profit with the low grade of ores,
of which we have many. Silver at
such prices cuts both ways. We will
have to find higher grade of ore or
cease mining.
81 still have hopes that the Brus-
sells conference will fix such uniform
ratio of value to gold that we can GO
on. They may not fix it at 16 to 1
as now, but even Is or 10 to 1 would
be much better than it is. IF the other
countries of the world do not agree to
uniform ratio, then [ am in favor of
prohibiting all other silver from enter
ing the United States and coming our
own. This would help us consider
ably, think, although Senator Stew
art and some other silver advocates
have different views.
"In the absence of anything being
done and silver remaining as it is, the
| Nevada miners must turn their atten-
ton to agriculture. The mining camps
will be depopulated. There is no such
thing as supposing the miners can
work. All the mills on the Carson
river are now idle except the Bruins
wick, Nevada and Morgan, and those,
instead of representing 1913 stamps, as
they would if silver were only at a
fair price, represent actually but &C
stamps"
estate Senator Williams of Ormsby
spoke on the same thing and entirely
corroborated the remarks of the Gov.
ernor. All Nevadans here are watch
ing the Brussels conference with kee1
interest.

FERGUS FALLS, March Ito great
many people the announcement OF
.'big wolf hunt in the northern part of
Otter Tail county Friday. the 1lth inst,
carried no particular significance, but
to those who have participated in an
event of the kind the statement brought
thrill and wish to be present. For
such hunt is not only sight worth
witnessing, but is calculated to stir the
blood or every person who takes part in
it as few things do. outside of ''grim Wis
aged war" More than 600 men started
from appointed stations at a. IN. to-
day, each squad of thirty captained by
an experienced hand. A large crowd
went up from this city to participate,
and many others came from long dis
tanceS. Those who went from Pelican
Rapids started with teams very early
in the morning.
A large part Of the hunters were
SeandinaviauS. They had most amaZ-
ing variety of weapons, including
spears, forks. hooks, daggers, bayonets,
etc. One antiquarian counted sixty
seven distinct types of weapons,
not counting CLUBS. Many WalKeu

in the lines before light this morn-
ing, and teams came from much
loEger distances. Captains of squads
were on horseback. The march began
promptly at O'Clock. 1twas difficult
one, over broken country. and many of
the more dense clumps of timber were
left uneXplored by those whose enthusi-
asm waned. after few miles tramp.
The final scene occurred at 2SO'clock
this afternoon in the open valley previ
ously selected. None of the hunters
had seen any wolves, but each squad
supposed the others had. and pressed
sen with unhagging zeal. Then
the lines finally got into position
where they could see each other,
and the intervening space there must
have been surprise in the minds of
some. for the total result of the round
up was several dozea jack rabbits and
one solitary wolf, which ran anxiously
round and round their circle. The
grandeur of the grand hunt departed.
but the thousand or more Hien present
managed to prevent that wolf from es-
Gaping. Thus ended the first, ard prob
ably the last big wolf hunt in Otter

however, would identify him. True, for
forty years he breathed the air of the
Empire state; for fifteen years he prac-

Cleveland at the bar of Buffalo; and
once he sat in the legislature at Albany
but Notwithstanding these things he
is practically unknown to New York
and the East
Fame came to him after he left New
York and settled in Iowa. He stepped
into the arena of politics in that far-Off
commonwealth and, champlOning the
cause of Democratic principles, led the
Democratic party to victories that it had
not known for more than generation.
His voice rang i'll every county of the
state, from the shores of the Mississippi
to'the banks of the Missouri, and Iowa,
that had given Garfield $4,000 majority,
became Democratic. Another campaign
came on and again under his leadership
the state went Democratic. Still an
other contest between the parties fol-

triumphed over those who had thought
the Hawkeye state only waverlng in
its lOng-founded allegiance to the Re-

These three successive victories under

made Western Democrats talk conf
IDENTIFY of the new, powerful captain of
Iowa as man fit to lead in national
contest. They say that he can carry
Iowa and other states which hitherto
have been Republican. They say that
his life, his personality, his political
record, his views upon public questions
will command strength in New York
and other STATES of the East and South,
as we'll as in their own West.
In what follows you will find ever so
many things about this New York man
who has made himself so strong in the
West. And to begin with, and as n sort
Of preface to the whole, let it be said:
First-That he is tariff reformer and
has been since he went to Iowa at the
close of the war; that he holds conserv-
ative views upon the silver question:
that he believes in ballot reform, and
that he opposes paterDalism and sump-
tuary laws.
Second-That he has risen from pow
erty to comparative fortune; that he is
a practical farmer as we'll as practical
lawyer; that he kept aloof from politics
until 1888, and that now, at the age of
siXty-four, he is serving his second
term as governor of Iowa.
