in the old time.
TX The Bishop says: "There will
be, think, a serious reaction against
the Maine Law very soon" Yes, there
were many people expecting that and
hoping for it. 1t was time, they thought.
for a change The people had been
pinched in their personal liberty, and
cut down in their drink ration long
enough. 1t was thought the mum bers
were very large who disliked the restrie-
tions of law; who want to live and dc
as they like, with no reference to the
common welfare what has posterity
done for us? Why should we care for
those who come after us? Let the Devil
take the hindmost.' 1t was thought that
a great many men of Maine were of that
class, and arrangements were carefully
mad to lead them off in the interests
OF rum shops to be very soon" coming.
A great party put into its platform a
promise to procure the repeal of consti-
tntlonai prohibition; to re-enact license
for rum shops everywhere; there should
be the freest kind of personal liberty;
rum enough and to spare for all. Not
satlsfied- with the publicity of party pa
pers, the programme was put upon hand
bllis aud widely distributed. Then
GShese patriots stood back and waited for
the reaction" as little boys do in
touching off" cannon. The explosion
took place, and the party was left with
no member of the Senate and only five in
the lower house of ISL members! Such
was the "reactionnpredicted by the Bish-
oP, but not of the kind he expected.

facts are. NEAL now

er. Although Gen. Becker has not
been candidate for an elective Office
in late years, he needs no Introduction
to the Democracy Of Minnesota. Years
ago as the standard bearer of the party
he gave the psople one of the most
remarkable and telling campaigns ever
waged in the state. and was defeated
by Senator Ramsey by about 5000 votes.
He is an able and accomplished speaker,
popular and a thorough Democrat, as
was'shown by his response to request
made yesterday that he allow the use of
his name in today's convention.
''If nominated l shall accept" said
the fearless leader. "It is too great an
honor for any true Democrat to decline,
and, although l would prefer that some
other man be named, because l cannot
afford TO make the canvass,if nominated
shall make the sacrifice and stump the
state thoroughly. l shall go into the
battle to win. and believe that victory
is not only possible, but probable"

co mmittee last evening in the parlors of

Lambert for Treasurer.
For state treasurer there is one name
more prominently mentioned than any
other, and this will be presented by the
delegation from Carver county. The
gentleman Is c. A. Lambert. of Young
America. Mr.. Lambert is one of the
leading business men of his town, and
has friends in all parts of the state.
While he is not an active candidate, he
is another of the kind of Democrats like
Becker and Breckenridge, man who
esteems a nomination awarded by the
representatives CT 100000 Democrats an
honor too great to be refused. He will
accept and make creditable and win
ming race.
For state auditor, John d. Kynaston
and the present incumbent, Hon. A.
Bierman, are the leading candidates,
with the chances decidedly in favor of
the former. The friends of both were
bending every energy last evening. and
both sides claimed to be making head

Among the survivors are some who did
heroic service in the trying hour, when
death strobe beside them in the fiery
furnace which extended for so many
miles. One was little girl named
Freda johnson, of Partridge, twelve
years old, who saved her baby brother,

which she displayed. She was at the
city hall this morning. with lit
tie "Joe," and she clings to him
with half.fOrmulated fear that some
thing yet may happen to rob her of
him unless she is near. Freda lived
with her parents at Partridge. In the
excitement she and little Joe" got
separated from the rest OF the family,
and he would have been left behind
except for this brave sister. She is
small of her age. and Joe" is chubby
and heavy.but she took him in her arms
and followed her panic-stricken, fame
pursued neighbors. There were ser.
pents OF fire all around her, and they
kissed her cheeks and hair with
their hot breath, but she struggled
and painted on with the desperation

baby was b m I'd on the gravel path

all the closer into the brave rescuing
arms and never whimpered. Instinct

threatened. She reached the little
pond where the people took refuge and
fell rather thau walked into the water
with her precious burden. Her breath
came In great gasps and her strength
failed her, now that it appeared the
danger had passed. Brave little girl.
AT the city hall she was made much of,
but does not appear to think she did
anything especially remarkable. Her
only remark was that if she had not
carried Joe" he would have burued.

closely in the train that it was impossl-

people at Partridge thought they were

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 4.-En-
gineer William Best, OF the Great North
crn, has redeemed himself now. at any
rate. 1t will be remembered that dur.
ing the Great Northern strike Best was
accused OF deserting his train on an
open track and leaving train load of
passengers expOsed to danger, instead
OF taking his train to place of safety
before leaving the service of the COM
pany, as he should have done. The
splendid service he rendered Saturday
night IN connection with the rescue of
people in the burned town of Hinckley
has not yet been told. but it stamps
Best as brave man in the face of dan
ger and affords all exhibition of courage
and devotion to duty that cannot be too
highly commended. Best tells the
story of that fearful ride in very graphic
words. He says:
1--WE were brought face to face with
DEATH" he said. 'lt man could keep
his head III that dreadful holocaust, he
need not fear for his self-control or
courage under any circumstances.

expected that when we reached that
point we could get into the open and
escape from the smoke. My surprise
was great, therefore, when we found
the fire right upon the town. 1t took
but glance to see that the town was
doomed. The wind blew with great
velocity, and the flames fairly
leaped through the air. The
people we're taken by sur
prise and were terrorized and helpless,
The coming of the fire seemed like
stroke of lightning. Almost in an
instant the town was swept by blllows
of flames. We could not pass Hinckley,
and there was no use to look for orders,
for telegraphic communication was cut
off. 1t was one of those cases where
men have to make up their minds in an
instant and act without hesitation.
Here were hundreds of panic. stricken
people who were doomed il not in.
stantly rescued. On the other hand,
safety for the train and its passengers
lay in prompt retreat. To stay and
rescue as many as we could was our
dnty, Of course, but the great question,
and upon it hung the lives of many
hundreds, was-'How long dare we
wait?
'.Ed Barry was there In charge Of the
engine of No. %, and w. D. Campbell,
the conductor, as plucky and brave fel-
lows-as ever passed a mile post. We
knew we were safe in making time, for
we could return on 23's time, and, as
this train had the right of way, we
knew that no other train would dare to
stay Oh the main line without orders. if
moving south. We hastily coupled a
