We are informed that the Populist
Union Park convention nominated j..
Alexander Fulton for governor and that
"a platform was adopted which Mr..
Fulton took away with him to revise"
Judging from Mr.. Fulton's Farmers
Alliance record, he will send in bill
for doing this work as soon as the new
party gets sufficient money in its treas
ury to pay for it. The thermometer is
away down below zero and there is
plenty of snow on the ground when
Brother Fulton misses the train. We
only trust that he will not attempt to
ring in claim on the next Legislature,
also, for his services in revising the
Populist platform.

Valuable Library Sold.

Chicago, Nov 24.-ChicagO has lost
the famous library of Professor Knapp
head instructor of the Romance Ian
guage of the University Of Chicago. Its
6.OOO volumes We're shipped to New
York to adorn the home of A. NJ. Hunt
ingtOn, son Of G. p. Huntington. The
library was purchased by Mr.. Hunting
ton on account of the many rare books
comprised in it, and especially those
pertaining to Spanish in the middle
ages. The new owner has devoted his
life to the study of medieval history.
He has surrounded himself with native
professors Of the latter language, in
which tongues he has collected no less
than 800 histories. Professor Knapp
and Mr.. Huntington are old friends,
and as the professor leaves in two
weeks time for lengthy sojourn in
England and Spain, he decided to dis
pose of his treasures in such a way
that he could always have access to
them. 1t is not known what consider
alton was given. but some Of the books
were almost priceless, not being dupli-
Gated In any library in the world.

IT is argued in favor OF the new
small calibre magazine rifle which is
TO be used in the United States army
that it will be effective in piercing
stone or brick walls and earthworks.
The bullet being encased in a hard
"mantle" the fire is concentrated, and
regular breaches are thus made. An
other point made in favor OF the rife
Is that at thousand yards and over
the bullet does not lodge in a mans
body, but traverses it readily, making
9 straight wound which can be better
understood and more readily treated.
Bones and joints also will be less
crushed and torn. and smputations
will not have so often to be resorted
to. It appears that we are still to 20
On killing people. but that we will
conduct the process with due regard
to the feelings Of the most sensitive.

THERE is nothing foreign about tho
St. Louis and her sister ship. Ameri-
can materials alone have been ON
ployed in their construction. They
are Of American model and design
and original in many respects. They
have been constructed with American
labor and skill from truck to keelson.
With an extreme length Of 654 feet
and q gross tonnage OF 1O,77O, they
will be the largest ocean liners with
two exceptions, and with engines cap
able Of developing 10000 collective
horsepower they will certainly be 90
knot ships, and 1t is not improbable
that they will be cord-breakers, al
though the American line has emphat-
ically disclaimed any expectation Of
surpassing the Campanis and Lucania
in speed. They are practical, all
around business ships, carrying large
cargo as well as LAO passengers OF
all classes, and built with a view to
earning dividends rather than for
ocean racing.

Wisconsin's Populist Vote.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 24.-The most
striking thing about the official returns
filed with the secretary Of state is the
great increase in the Populist vote of
the state during the last two years.
Their vote this year for governor Is al
most three times that of two years
ago. In the two years the vote has in
creased from 9,64O to over 1900. A
careful estimate of the results Of the
recent election based on the official
returns received from fifty-ive coun-
ties shows that Upham's vote will be
over 81 per cent. Of the total number
polled. The Democrats cast for their
state ticket a little less than 80 per
cent Of the total vote. The Populists
have over per cent Of the whole vote
and the Prohibitionists less than 8 per
cent.
Judging from the vote in the counties
that have made returns so far Up
hams vote will be over 25,OOO more
than Spooner received in 1892. Gov
ernor Peck has fallen behind his vote
Of 1892 by almost 10000 votes. The
Peoples party has gained over 1900
votes and the Prohibitionists have lost
nearly 1000 votes. or the fifty-five
counties that have made returns eleven
gave Democratic majorities.
