The Democratic caucus on Monday

The Democratic caucus on Monday
night nominated Il strong ticket
Mayor Snow has given to the city a
clean, business like administration,
and at the earnest request of his party
friends consented to accept re-nomin-
alton, which was unanimously tender
ed to him. Each candidate on the
ticket Is well known 10 the voters Of
the city. Nearly all Of them have
filled offices Of public trust and dis
charged their duties with fidelity
Individual mention would be super
nuous. AS a whole, no better ticket
was ever placed In the field in Mineral
Point. The Democrat has no words
OF disparagement for the candidates
of the Republican ticket, which Is
headed by Albion White, II worthy,
representative citizen. Voters, read
your ballots carefully and vote for the
men whom you think VIII best serve
the interests Of the city for the
coming year. While craftsmanship
should not enter into local affairs, it Is
matter OF party pride to The Dem
ocrat that the Democratic ticket
will not suffer by any comparison that
may he made. The administration Of
city affairs during the last two years
has been economical aud business like
in every respect, and well merits tho
approval Of the voters Of the city:

DRINKS WITHOUT PRICE.
Samples of Wines and Liquors Dis
trIbuted Free at Atlanta.

Samples of Wines and Liquors Dis
trIbuted Free at Atlanta.
The Treasury Department has settled
the question regarding the free distribution
of samples OF whisky and wines at the At
lanta Exposition, which has long vexed
the officials. Free whisky has finally won.
Among the many foreign exhibitors are
several houses which deal exclusively in
wines and liquors. They had samples OF
their liquors put up in small bottles, which
they distributed free among people who
visited their exhibits. Under the law all
articles imported for the exhibition were
perelitted to come in free of duty, provided
an indemnity bond was filed by the importer
to pay duty on all articles not returned after
the exhibition. On articles sold during
the exposition the usual duties attaching to
such articles are imposed.
The foreign wine and liquor dealers con-
tended that their wares, unlike all other
wares, could only s,be judged by con-
sumption; that the quality of their goods
could not be determined by looking at the
bottle containing the liquor or in smelling
the cork with which-it was bottled. They
were perfectly willing to pay the duty
attaching to the liquors and wines sold,
but asked that duty on sample quantities
of liquor distributed free, be remitted.
The Treasury has eudeayored in various
ways to reach some satisfactory test OF
the quality of liquor, except by drinking
1t, but without success, and finally Secretary
Carlisle has fallen back on the old Treasury
regulations applied to the Worlds FAIR and
the California Exposition which permitted
the free entry of liquors for free distri-
button as samples at the Atlanta EXpusi-
ton.

WAS DEAD I'M JAMES CREEK
Nettie Thomas BODY Fished Out
Of the Death Trap.
Police Credit tthe Latter
Theory.

What was either a suicide or a murder
occurred at midnight last night In South
Washing ton, and at an early hour this
morning womaD's body was dragged
out OF the filthy, reeking water of James
Greek canal at X street.
This death adds one more to the long
list of uufortunates who have closed their
earthly affairs under the hideous water OF
this dangerous waterway.
b Net1e Thomas, white, who lived at NO.
l. street southeast, either jumped into
the water or fell in as result of struggle.
People nearby heard the splash fol-
lowed by cries of help. Rushing TO the
side of the water way they saw dark form
struggling in the water. After few
frantic efforts 10 break from its filthy
tomb it sank and was seen no more.
Many suggestions of rescue were made,
but nobody went TO the aid of the drown
ing woman.
The police were notified of the death
and at l:3O O'Clock the body was recovered.
Nettie Thomas and Herman Martin. who
keeps a store at 407 Seventh street north
west, and lives at 702 T street north
west, were walking towards the canal.
AT one Of the streets close to the water
they parted Martin TO go To First and n
Streets, and Nettie to go home.
AS she reached the eoge of the canal she
is said 10 have cried ''Goodby" and sprung
into the water. Ii is said that there was
a disagreement between the man and wo-
man when they parted, and that it was
because OF this that the woman committed
suicide. Martin was not held by the
police as there was no evidence on which
this could be done. An inquest VIII
probably be held this afternoon.

FROSTY WEATHER COMING
Big Fall in Temperature Is Pre-
dicted for Tonight,
Chilly Winds Are Scheduled
by the Prophets.

Now, gather up your wraps and furs and
muifs and overcuats and be prepared for
the sensation of thisc day. Warned in time
may now be written warmed in time.
There's a cold wave ON its way To
Washington. 1t climbed over the tops of
the Western Alleghanies last night, and
will reach here this morning. BY tonight
at church time il will be from thirty to
forty degrees colder than it was last night
at church time.
This prediction, which is from the official
records at the Weather Bureau, ought
to be enough to prevent pneumonia, Group,
and all the other wheeling and sniffling
things which accumulate when men, women
and children are caught with their summer
clothes on in the dead of winter.
Last nights temperature was decidedly
disagreeabie, and especially in all the
places where crowds assembled withiudoors
The preinonitory symptoms of the cold
wave, however, relieved the situation at
about IL O'Clock, when a northwestern
breeze with more than suspicion of
frost IN 1t blew away the lingering reInin-
iscences of the summer.
The cold wave, if not too cold. Will
not be an unwelcome guest, and it will be
observed that it will put life and energy
into community which has been eneryated
by temperature that belonged to
Florida rather than the District of Columbia.

THREE NIGHT FIRES.
They Were All Small and the Dam
age IncoDseuuemaI.

Three alarms of fire broke the stiffness
last night. Two were for fires, the dam
age from which was slight and the third
alarm was ia lse.
AT 10 O'Clock a local alarm was turned
IN for fire at the foundry of Charles White
x Co., on o street. between Fouraud-a half
and Water streets south west. The she'd
ding in the rear of the place was in u
blaze when the engine reached the scene,
and for time some of the adjoining prop
erty was threatened, but water soon gained
the victory.
The damage amounted to perhaps $500
and the cause of the fire could not be
ascertained.
But for the alertness of Officer Costello
of the Sixth precinct, what might have
been a costly fire, was ayerted at midnight.
Fire broke out in the sheds in the rear
of the building occupied by the Corbct
Mill Company, on Missouri avenue, near
Sixth street Engine No. responded and
the flames were soon eXtinguished. The
fire originated in heap of oil barrels
near which hot ashes had been thrown.
The damage was trifling.

BIS SKULL CLEFT IN TWAIN
Caesar Atk kinsoD Fatally Hurt by
Thinning From n Wagon.

Caesar Atkinson, col ored, forty-five
years OF age, nd living at No. 90 twentieth
street northwest, will probably die from
a fractured skull received in a runaway
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning.
Atkinson was driving wagon, owned
by one Pearson, a long Rhode Island
avenue, near Sixteenth. The bit in the
mouth of AtkiDsun's animal broke near
the center and it is thought the sharp
edges of the metal bit gouged the horse's
tongue, causing it 10 run away.
When near the corner of F ourteenth street
Atkinson sprang from the vehicle. His
foot struck the seat ledge and he fell head
first on a stepping stone at the curb,
being rendered unconscious Immediately
The mans skull was cleft by the sharp
stone.
AS quickly as possible Atkinson was
taken to the Emergency Hospital His
injury was found to be a compound open
fracture Of the skull and trephining was
resorted to-. ID spite of the treatment
it is thought the man will die very soon.

Joe Everett had close call for his
life Thursday afternoon. The water in
the we'll on the farm, about five miles
east of the city, had failed and he went
down to dig it deeper. The we'll was
about SIS feet deep and bucket of dirt
was drawn up when the rope broke just
as the man at the top was reaching to
take the bucket out. He instantly called
to Joe at the bottom of the we'll who
lntuitively OWNED the cause OF the
alarm and crowded up to one side and
threw up his arm as il to protect him
self. The bucket in another instant
struck his arm dislocating his shoulder
and passing on down gashed the flesh of
one of his legs and half buried itself in
the soft clay at the bottom Of the we'll.
DR.. DePuy set the shoulder and sewed
up the cash in his leg and he is getting
along we'll.

A Fine Growing Month.

From data collected at Bismarck it is
known that June averages q very wet
month with plenty of moisture to send
vegetation ahead and an average tenn
perature of 65 degrees. The rainfall runs
from about a Of an inch to 81 inches
and averages over 81 inches. In '79
in "a consecutive hours on the 18th and
18th 81 inches OF. RAIN fell. The pre-
vailing winds during this month are
from the east, blowing soft, warm and
moisture lsdened from the Great Lake.
About one-half of the days Of the month
are partly cloudy, one quarter cloudless
rare June days to be found only IN
North Dakota-and the remainder
cloudy and rainy. In this month occurs
the greatest rainfall of any month Of the
year, when its need is felt the most.
Only once in the past II years has the
wind during any storm exceeded 54 miles
an hour. That Velocity was attained

Hearing Postponed.

The hearing IN the case of Walker
Bros. vs.. NJ. H. Jewell, in the matter of
printing the codes, called before Judge
Templeton Monday at Fargo, was post
poned until Saturday next. Opinion
seems divided as to the right of the CON-
mission to order the work done IN
the state, although recent Montana
decision ls said to have sustained an
award Of higher over lower bid in a
similar case, on the grounds Of powers
vested IN the commission which in real
ity are held to be absolute. On the
other hand il such authority is so re-
Rarded by the court, the question arises
why should it be necessary to advertise
for bids at all?

Farmers Differ.

There are diverse opinions as to the
future of the county's crop-several
farmers in the southern part of the
county say that there will not be over
half crop, owing to the dry weather
preventing the roots of wheat from
spreading on the surface and thereby in
suring more than one or two stalks. The
ground they claim has only been wet by
showers, and not soaked this spring at
one time. The crop is expected to be of
good quality, but not a big yield. In
the northern part OF the county and in
the counties of Eddy and Foster more
rains have fallen and the grain is doing
all that can be expected of 1t in the way
of making a large yield. The fine
shower of today will help all grain i'm

act Further Regulations.
The city has decided that the cheapest
way out OF the sewer trouble in which 1t
has been involved with H. Warner was
to extend the sewer past the objection
able point. This was decided upon at
81 executive session held Monday night
after the adjournment of the council.
At the regular meeting of the city
fathers communication was read from
Engineer Tilden giving an estimate. of
the cost of the proposed extension, which
he had made for the benefit OF the sewer
age committee. The extension would be
SIG feet long, with fall of 8 feet. The
cost Of the materials would be $246.62.
Contingencies and other expenses would
bring the total cost up to S33S.27. A
right Of way across the land of Mr.. War
ner can be obtained for $3.50 which
makes the total cost OF the change and
extension of the main sewer S489.2S.
Engineer Tilden stated to the council
that he made his estimate large, but
thought that the item OF labor could be
reduced somewhat. This arrangement
OF the difficulty between. MIR. Warner
and the city will be acceptable to all
\concerned and law suit avoided.
The city treasury had balance on
hand June 1st, of $406. 81 in all the funds.
Tho general fund has balance of 49, 40,
the street ard bridge fund of s191.51,
