These are the men whom the Demo-

lected to fill the five vacancies upon the
ticket. Their selection was voluntary,
and there was no barter or bargain
about it. The committee. satisfied as to
their high character and knowing their
sentiments as to Harrison and Reid,
placed them upon the ticket. They
asked nothing from the Peoples party
and received nothing, and there is not
the semblance of a trade. The Demo-
Gratis will continue to>make an earnest
and strong tight for their ticket, includ-
ing these new nominees. on state and
national issues, and the Peoples party
will also continue to do battle for it's
nominees.
The great Importance of this step can
best be realized When the fact is taken
into consideration that Minnesota has

"Hon. Henry Feig, the candidate for

legislature, and took leading part in
the discussion concerning grain legiSla-
ton. lie was an OutSpOken advocate of

This is the balderdash that Aaker,
Mcclure, Converse S Co. wanted Hunt
to print as editorial matter! But Hunt
put it in his inside pocket and said noth-
ing. The deal was drawing toward the
close. But there was one more act to
be played out. Hunt wrote sharp let
ter to Mcclure reminding him that,
though Sept. 80 had passed, he had not
received the remaining 500 due him.
As.eXpected, this made Mcclure mad,
and he wrote Hunt the letter neces-
sary to tocomplete the chain of evidence.
This time he forgot himself and signed
his full name. Hunt said nothing, but
Iiled away all of the discriminating docu-
ments for future use. He did not get
the 500 balance, but he holds the first
500 subject to the order of l.. K. Aaker,
or, if he does not claim it, it will go into
the campaign fund of the Peoples party
as piece of cOnfiscated property of the
enemy.

seross the ranges for Motucka valley,
between which and US many wild pigs
scour the forest and field. On our
journey, which lasted a week, we dincd
daily on royal fare. A young kid would
serve us better than the most dainty
dish Of venison, while pigeons, kakas
and tuis formed a meal fit for Lucul-
lus.
Now for the pigs. A few years ago
the descendants of Capt. Cooks gift to
the Maoris became so numerous In this
fertile land that they caused q serious
annual loss to the farmers. For in their
search for roots they destroyed the
grass and hence the food of sheep and
cattle. A bonus was offered OF half
crown-a little more than half dollar
for every pig. This reward aroused the
slumbering energies OF natives and
hunters and hundreds of pig killers
made handsome living. Their method
was to hunt the pigs with dogs trained
to fly at the grunters and hold them by
the car until the hunters could give the
struggling beasts the coup de grace by
sticking them to death with n long pole
beltcd at the end with a short heavy
piece of iron or steel.
Now, however, the pigs arc not so
numerous, although there are plenty for
sport. We had provided ourselves
with hunting spears and determined to
have as much fun as possible. On the
eighth day, as we were meandering
through the brush with our dogs at our
heels, we were startled by porkinc
grunt in our vicinity. The dogs broke
away atonce to a large clulnp of thorny
bush and ont rushed a big sow with a
litter Of squcaling young. She dashed
straight at the first dog, but not being
the kind of game we sought we called
off the dogs. The mother, by the love
of offspring Infatuated, bit. squealed
and trampled maliciously around. Her
cries brought help in the shape Of two
huge brown and black boars. What
strengthening brutes they are! How
quickly they cover the Intervening dis
lance! Large flakes of foam fall from
their jaws and bcspatter legs, face and
breast, and their eyes CLEAN with q
wicked flash. lIa, that is the kind OF
game we want The dogs recognize a
higher and mighticr foe and go for the
| boars. Each OF the dogs springs at an
! ear, but both are thrown OF as If they
were rats.
Men and hounds feel that there is ia
