COLD WATER MEN.
They fleet and Nominate Portion of
County Ticket, and Listen
to Speeches.

The Prohibition county convention
met at the city hall Tuesday to
nominate county ticket. The meet
ing was called to meet at Labor hall,
but on the door of that hall was tack
ed notice saying that the conven-
tion would meet at the city hall.
AS there were only few delegates
present and there were some present
who were not delegates, the first thing
done was to declare the meeting
a mass convention.
@. D. Cook, of Eagle Lake, was
elected chairman, and John X. Nc
Broom, of Danville, secretary.
The nomination of county ticket
was then taken up, but the work was
slow, as nobody could think of any
body to name, and it took the repeated
efforts OF the chairman to stir up the
thoughts of the convention. After
much effort the following nominations
were made by acclamation:
County superintendent, Mrs. S. G..
Stevens.
Treasurer, @. Halves.
Auditor, James Wishart.
Sheriff, 5. A RauSe.
The convention failed at this point
to think OF any other names to put on
the ticket, and as it takes $40 to put
each name on the Australian ballot
it was concluded that it would take
enough effort to raise $40, and in any
case the strength of the party would
be shown by voting for these four can
didates as well as for an entire ticket.
Chairman Cook thought that the
strength of the party could be shown
in these four offices, and that it would
save money not to put any more on
the ticket. 1t was probable that no
one on the ticket would be elected
unless they rustic round. Mrs.
Stevens would try to secure the nomi-
nations of other parties.
Speeches were made by Elder Rock
wood of Garden city, and E. Griffith
and Rev. j. f. Stout, of this city.
Ed. Austin moved that the cOnven-
tion do not nominate any more
officers, but that the county
committee be empowered to
fill the ticket with Prohibi-
tionists if it can find men TO
accept the nomination, otherwise to
leave the places vacant. This was
carried by vote of seven to six.
The convention then set about rails
ing $40 to get the names on the ticket,
and also campaign funds.

Republican party. Mr.. Scherer was
elected two years ago with nearly one
thousand plurality and came within a
few votes of having a majority over
both opposing candidates. According
to the common uSageS in politics he
thinks he is entitled to a second term.
During his term of office he has raised
the standard of requirements for
teachers. He has adhered strictly to
the statutes in not endorsing certit-
Gates from other counties, and has
treated all persons who came before
him alike and impartially. He has
not had other business which might
have interfered with the duties of his
office, but has given his entire time to
the office, while over half of his time
was spent in visiting schools. A great
many libraries were established, die
tionaries purchased and new books in
trOduced, and as direct result of the
visits, school houses were improved
and repaired, trees planted and more
interest in the schools generally
created. Through Mr.. Scherer's efforts
nearly one thousand more pupils than
heretofore have attended school the
required forty days during the year,
and consequently nearly one thousand
more pupils will draw state apportion-
ment. If renominated he will make
vigorous campaign, and his election
by still larger majority than the first
time is assured.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Robbie, the eleven year old son of J..
P. Thomas, residing on Byron street,
had close call last evening. In try
ing to get on moving train, at Min
neopa, he missed his hold, fell, and
from the character of his injury must
have been struck by the fange of a
wheel. He received a deep flesh wound
fully eight inches long, just above the
left hip, that required twelve stitches.
No bones were broken. This is another
instance of narrow escape from
serious if not fatal injury, and ought
to be warning to our boys to keep off
and away from the cars. The schools
will soon open, hence we trust that
our advice will be needed by all. DR..
Davis is attending Robbie, and states
that he will probably fully recover in
time to begin school.

Invitations are out announcing

w. HI. Pettis, of Mankato town
ship, brought in sample of alfalfa
yesterday, grown on his farm, together
with a sample of timothy, illustrating
how well the former stands drouth
as compared with other grass. The
alfalfa, whose roots penetrate deep in
to the soil, was as green as though
constantly watered, while the timothy
was completely burned and dried up
and stunted. The alfalfa WI second
crop, and stood nearly thi- Hos
high. Some pea vines nea we're
dried up. Alfalfa belongs to clover
family and is great feed for cattle, and
this experiment shows that it can be
raised here when nothing else can.
Two or three luxuriant crops can be
raised, and it would pay the farmers
to raise some as an experiment.

BOUNTIFUL- CROPS IN INDIANA,

| Franklin (Ind.) Democrat July, 27, 1894.
This year will be memorable for it's
great harvests. The yield of wheat
in Indiana will probably exceed that
| of any former year. Just at this time
it is especially inviting for one to
drive into the country and visit some
of the threShers at work.
We had the pleasure. one day this
week, of witnessing five machines in
operation. The first was John

Jus Ditmars, whose crop of fifty-five
acres averaged 81 bushels per acre.
this being no exceptional yield in the
county this year. Improvements in
farm machinery have been varied and
rapid but none more forcibly impress
es one than the scene here witnessed.
There were no men On the straw stack
and yet there had risen a high, we'll
rounded stack of straw, more perfect
in outline than could be made bv

bringing the wheat to the machine
and the Farmers Friend Stacker
was stacking the straw. We were
told by Mr.. Baker that the stacker
was doing it's work perfectly and en-
abled him not only to do more work in
one day than by the old method. but
gave better satisfaction to farmers,
This statement was corrOborated by
every one with whom we conversed.

came across George Banta's outfit.
This is his fourth season and with

his education was acquired through
his own efforts. He was student of
the Monroe High school, and after
wards of the RiverFalls Normal school,
He began teaching in the rural dis
tricts, and has had the varied expert
ence of that work, having taught for
ten years. Two years ago he was
elected principal of the Good Thunder
schools, which position he still holds,
having filled it with complete salts
faction, to judge of the reports of the
patrons of the school. AS a gentle
man and a teacher Mr.. Stillwell has
the utmost respect and the well wish
es of his many friends. That he is
amply qualified to fill the important
office of county superintendent is self
evident. He is a young man full of
ambition, life and energy, just the
qualities needed to make successful
school officer, when added to the prac-
tical knowledge of the theory and
practice of teaching, such as he pos
SesseS. If nominated to the Office of
county superintendent, the office to
which he aspires, he will make can
active and winning campaign.

Other Names For County Commits
SiOner.

The names of MessrS. j. t. Williams
and H. p. Christensen have been fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the county commissionership from the
second district. Both these gentle
men are well known to every voter of
the city as possessing qualifications
especially befitting them for the
duties peculiar to this position. Mr..
Williams, it is understood is candi-
date-that is he will accept the nOmi-
nation if rendered him by the conven-
tion. Whether or not this is true of
Mr.. Christensen we do not know. The
commissionership is really one of the
most important offices in the county,
and the city delegates, who will be
permitted to name the man to be
placed on the ticket, should exercise
great care in selecting the right man.
We are also informed that Mr.. O. O.
Pitcher has been approached on the
matter, and while he would accept of
| the trust if nominated, he does not
| feel like getting out and making a
canvass before the convention.

and from present indications the peo-
pie Of this county do not propose to
make a change this year. So well
satisfied are the Republicans with Mr..
Benedict'S administration of affairs
that there will undoubtedly be no OPP
posing candidate for the nomination
in the convention to be held Sept.
4th. The criminal class has given
Blue Earth county wide berth since
Mr.. Benedict began his term OF office,
while all having business with that Of
fetal have found him very kind and
attentive, as well as prompt to act,
and well founded in the law. He
came to this county with his parents
in 1868, and until maturity worked
upon farm. A portion OF his educa-
tiOn was acquired at the State Normal
school, where he left an established
reputation as hard worker ana
fluent speaker. He taught in the
public schools, serving as principal OF
the Good Thunder and Mapleton
schools. While engaged in this work
he began to study la, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1888, since which
time he has made rapid strides in his
profession until he now stands as one
of the prominent members of the bar
of the State. He has served upon the
Republican county committee for
several years, and for two years as
chairman. For the past two years he
has been chairman of the Second dis
trict Congressional committee, a
position which he so satisfactorily
filled that Congressman McCleary has
reappointed him. Mr.. Benedict's
reelection as county attorney seems
assured,

1867 to teach a district school in Bel
grade, and also left college during the
winter and spring of 1892 to accept a
call to the principaIship of the school
in Leroy, of this state. Though the
years he has spent in the schools do
not number many, the fact that every
change that he has made has been in
the line of progress and an advance
ment over his previous position, as
well as the warm Communications OF
those whom he has served, argues his
success as an instructor. The fact
that he came so near getting the Re-
publican nomination two years ago,
with so little effort, having deter
mined to try for it only three days be-
fore the meeting, proves his strength
as a candidate. This is not the Mr..
Schellbach who several years ago re-
ceived the Democratic nomination for
county superintendent. The gentle
man referred to here is a thorough
Republican, and if nominated will
make gallant and winning fight for
election.

mustered out on June 18th, 1865, at
Washington, at the close of the war.
Four years later he came to Minnesota,
and located in this county, and has
made his home here ever since. He
engaged in farming, and continued at
this until ten years ago, since which
time he has been engaged in the mer-
camille business in Mankato. He has
been Republican since the birth of
the party and has never asked for an
Office at it's hands. Mr.. Kennedy has
announced himself as candidate for
county commissioner from this city,

There are still a few candidates
whose photographs and biographies
we were unable to obtain, but who
would be very creditable representa-
tives of the party, if placed on the
ticket. Among these are
Fred Grout. for sheriff,
Joseph Wigley, for treasurer,
Nels NyQuist, for representative,
John Laurish, for preventative.

to succeed Com. John Mahowald. He
has the qualifications to make first
class commissioner combining good
Judgment with excellent business
abilities. The commissioner from this
city has many duties connected with
the poor which require time, patience
and prudence, all of which Mr.. Ken
nedy has. If nominated, Mr.. Kennedy
will have no difficulty in being elected,
as he has a host of warm friends in
the city.

THE DAIRY COW-HER MERITS,

j
discussed both in public and in
private manner, and yet no definite
conclusion has been derived or theory
established from the fact that the
dairy cow has not been discussed or
brought to public notice.
Many years ago Guenon, a French
author, in his work aimed to show
that by the variation in the size and
form of the escutcheon were evidences
of the greater or less flow of milk, but
failed to show in his work the butter
properties of the dairy COW. M. Haz-
Yards work was next introduced en-
dorsing Guenon's theory without
reference to the prime factor that
constitutes this valuable animal. A
new theory has now developed itself,
called the ''Dairy Form Theory" 1t
has many advocates, and yet they fail
to show that form is a necessary
qualification, or that perfection in
form will increase her dairy products.
The COW may be nearly perfect in
her form approaching the feminine
type, give a great flow of milk and yet
be an inferior dairy animal. The most
homely and inferior looking COWS are
often found to be the greatest butter
producers.
In selecting dairy COW or Judging
dairy stock, the merits of the animal
should be consulted, and not form.
Her merits are quantity and quality
of milk, and the length of time she
will give flow of milk. These are not
discernible in her form.
The signs regarded by many at the
present day are the head, eyes,
shoulders, chine, barrel, back, hips,
loin and many other parts of the
animal that make up her form. There
are none more worthy of consideration
than those that lead to and are con-
nected with the udder; the udder be-
ing the reservoir to which the milk
flows: no sign more sure, no work more
perfect than the works of nature.
The milk veins should be regarded
as evidence of her flow of milk or
quantity, the escutcheon the length
Of time she will give milk Tor go dry.
Her butter veins are evidence of her
butter qualities. These viens and
signs are found connected with the
udder, and when fully developed we
will find choice dairy COW, let her
form be perfect or imperfect.
There appears to be a prevailing
opinion among many, that if the COW
is bred SO as to approach the feminine
form, the greater will be her dairy
products, or the more points she will
scale, the greater value is attached to
her as dairy animal. These ideas
are often advanced by public speakers
and writer's on dairy stock disregard
ing her merits or consulting them in
any manner
ltshould be the object of every dairy
man to select COWS that will produce
the best results. If so he should not
rely too much on form or pedigree,
but select that class that are merito-
rious, for they, and they alone, will
lessen his cares and tolls of his house
hold and secure to them bank &C
count. VIM. L. WILSON.

another year. Though fortunate in
this respect, he will nevertheless do
some loyal fighting for sthe ticket, as
he has done in the past. and two years
from now his many friends will return
the favor with zeal.
