BAKER NOMINATED
This brought the convention face to face
with the great question whether it should
proceed TO the nomination of a state
ticket The delegates were not prepared to
air their views in open convention, so after
a few moments of hesitation, one anti
DonnelIyite moved that the convention
take recess !Or three-quarters Of an hour,
which meant that the entire convention
should go into executive session in back
room, The recess was ordered, and for
over an hour they remained in close con-
ference. The discussion was general, and
each delegates was given an opportunity to
express freely his views on the situation.
They paid their respects to Donnelly for
his departure from the faith. and de-
nounced his policy and his leadership of
the Peoples party. When the question
came to a vote all except four or five were
in favor of making nomination for gov
ernor.

Gen. Baker, on taking his seat, was loud

said that his county had av0red the nomi-

action Wilkin county was for Baker. IN
deed, very few OF the delegates profess to

he is not the popular man he was several

the chairman to appoint a state executive

A Bullet in his Head Forty Years,

A Bullet in his Head Forty Years,
An interesting surgical study is that
of a man who has Just died at St.
Gallcn. This man, certain Christian
Ioyg, was o soldier in the "Sonder-
bund' war, forty-three years ago,
and in the fight at Kiemengratc he
was severely wounded with q bullet in
the head. The surgeon could not ex-
tract the ball, for it had pierced be-
hind the ear, and lay against the
hard skull. No one thought he could
live, but he did, swearing always he
had the bullet still in his head. OF
course, after q time no one believed
him, though he suffered from terrible
headaches and occasional feeblemind-
elne:s. But when he died his skull
was opened, and surely enough he had
lived for over forty years with this
bullet in his head. The skull at the
point where the bullet lay was three
or four times rs thick as elsewhere,
and a piece the size Of q very small
egg had been forced aside.

stories about English workmen selling
their wives for pots of beer, and the
like. and it is now the turn of the
English to laugh or grieve at a story
told before the Lignitz tribunal. A
workman sold his lawfully welded
wife to a small tradesman, or rather
lent her for two years at the moderate
price of one mark. The tradesman,
we'll satisfied with his bargain, lived
happily with the woman. At the end
OF fifteen months the husband de-
manded an additional fifteen marks,
asserting that in handing over his
wife he had overlooked the fact that
she hUd an excellent set Of teeth. The
tradesman, however, would not bulge
q single pfenning beyond the original
mark until the husband went into

to return to herlord and master, who
