Republican and Democratic Knavery

The politics of Stevens county, the
banner PopuliSt county of the state,
are somewhat mixed and the Peoples
party will have to adopt a new name,
as the Democrats and Republicans
combined and captured the county
convention. 1t was done in this way:
The POpuliSts did not pay much at.
tentiOn to the primaries and the
Democrats and Republicans voted for
their delegates and nominated them
and at the convention put up Repub-
licans and Democrats for office. Hav-
ing enough delegates they nominated
the head of a POpulist ticket and
stole the name as well as the cOnven-
tiOn.
Chairman Briedenthal. of the PeO-
pies party state central committee,
has received hundreds of letters from
POpulists telling how it was done and
how they were imposed upon by the
combine of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and they give as an excuse that
the county was so strong a POpulist
county that they did not think it nee.
eSsary to pay much attention to the
primaries and did not anticipate any
thing Of the kind from their political
opponents. Mr.. Briedenthal has not
advised his friends just what to do
and is unable to do so at present; but
may be compelled to visit the county
to straighten out affairs for the Pop
ulists and give them name.
We have no sympathy to waste on
the PopulistS Of Stevens county, but
publish the above to keep our people
posted on Republican and Democratic
trickery. Talk of honor in politicsl
Rave about Populist anarchy and
attempt to steal the state government
last winter. Just such little thefts
as the above show on which side the
stealing was. But we have no SYM
pathy for the PopuliSts of Stevens
county. They knew the kind of men
they mad to deal with, knew they
would steal their way into the infer
nal regions rather than walk openly
and honestly into heaven. and know
ing this, they took a nap while the
enemy took possession of the camp.
Next time they want to station a
guard when they wish to turn in.

The New Patrol Wagon.

1t is not generally known that
the handsome new patrol wagon,
that is alike the terror of the Grim
inal element and the delight of the
rampant street urchin, was impro-
vised from the truck of a hose
wagon by the ingenuity of
Chief of Police Druse. The
truck was originally designed for
the Frio street engine house, but
was subsequently found to be an
incumberance instead of an auXili-
airy to the fire department. The
plan of converting the vehicle into
a patrol wagon was suggested by
Chief Druse shortly after he as
sumed his present office but it was
not until Fire Chief Duer-
ler's advent into power that
the idea was carried out. The
handsome brass rails and the up
per portions of the wagon were
constructed by local blacksmith,
under the supervision of Chief
Druse, who modelled the vehicle
after the fashion of the st. Louis
"hurry up" cOnveyances.

SIXTY-THREE DEAD.
Heart Rending Scene, at Pomeroy

PoMEROY, Ia, July Shorty
four now humber the dead at
POmeroy. 1t is one of the saddest
scenes ever witnessed, and even
the strongest are compelled to
turn away from some of the sights
at the city hall hospital,
where most of the hundred and
eight injured now are. Every
dwelling now standing can be we'll
termed hospitals, as all have
been thrown wide open and from
two to eight wounded are being
kept in each. The Governor is now
on the grounds, and is doing all in
his power to allay the sufferings of
the unfortunate people. Ten ply
Sicians are all that are here today,
and the calls cannot be promptly
answered. The neighbOring cities
and towns are providing nurses lib
orally, but more are needed.

ty more will die. Reports are be-

The scenes are harkending, as
the relatives from the distance
come to gaze into the faces of their
dead. Two hundred and eight re-
sidences were swept off the face of
the earth, and not a board left.
Hardly a residence remains I'M

that "POmeroy is no more :"

The Neutrality-suspicious. Race

MINNEAPOLIs, July S.-The great
race over a magnificent course on
Lake Minnetonka between the
crews of Cornell and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania will be to-
days features of the great series of
regattas now in progress here.
The Pennsylvania crew is a
very light one. When they
began training their average
was 10 pounds; now it is l59.
Woodruff, the trainer, says they
are in good physical condition, but
they appear to be trained too fine.
They were heavily handicapped at
the start by the lack of a good
thell. Up to May Z they rowed in
a barge.
Cornell's crew is in superb condi-
ton, and is rather heavier than
that of the L. of P.
The races today will be accom-
panied by many social amenities,
one of the pleasantest being the
welcome and reception accorded
the Cornell and the University of
Pennsylvania crews by the Lurline
Club, of Minneapolis. For this re-
ception the cOmmOdiOus Lake
Park hotel has been secured. The
The hotel and grounds will be
handsomely decorated with lights
and flags, and 5000 roses will be de-
voted to the embellishments.

MARKET MASTER ARRESTED
For Insulting a Chile Stand Wait
ress Last Night.

One of the interesting cases in
the recorders court this morning,
was that of Steve SandovaI, the
market master, who was arraigned
on the charge of using abusive and
insulting language to one Eliza
Fante, a woman employed at a
chile stand, on Milan square. The
case was continued until next
Tuesday for witnesses.
Last night Sandoval, in COM
pany with three friends, repaired
to the stand, and enjoyed Next
can supper. Mrs. Eliza Fante,
handsome Mexican woman, in
charge of the stand, made herself
quite agreeable with the quartette
of pleasure seekers, and they en-
gagged in a lively conversation.
"How much do you get a night?"
asked the market master.
"They pay me IS cents" was the
reply.
"That is not enough" said San
doval. "If you will go to my house
and stay and do work, such as feed
chickens, and anything my father
tells you to do, I'll give you 81 per
day"
At this Mrs. Fante became very
indignant and threatened to send
for her husband. She said she was
a poor woman, and that she had to
work to assist her husband, but
that she was lady, even though
she had to stay at a chile stand.
This morning Mr.. Sandoval was
quite astonished when Officer
Frank Setfel arrested him on an
affidavit made by this woman.
After court she said she would
not be responsible for what ensued,
as her husband intended to kill
Sandoval as soon as she saw him.
