BRAINERD, Mimi, July %, 8 a. m.
john Pryde was hanged at this place
early this morning for the cold-blood-
ed murder of Andrew Peterson in Feb
ruary. Pryde, although but twenty
two years old, carried to the. scaffold
a countenance every line of which bore
the sign of the criminal, in spite of
the statements of his jailers, that he
has not an evil disposition. The exc
cution took place in temporary
structure in the jail yard, and was
witnessed by 100 people. The prepara
tions were all carefully made by Sher-
iff Henry Spalding,s who although he
has been a sheriff nearly ten years,
hung his first prisoner this morning.
1t was rare exhibition of nerve, and
Pryde fulfilled to the smallest detail
his promise to the sheriff and his
spiritual advisers that he would go to
his death like a man. 8 He even went
further. and, when asked If he had
anything to say, although he had
promised to make no speech on the
scaffold, delivered to his awe-struck
hearers the contents of letter writ

Soon after the little chime clock in
the sheriff's parlor had announced II
o'clock there was noticeable subdued
hustle of preparation for the final
hour. Sheriff Spalding had issued in
structions that only a limited number
of people should be admitted Among
them were several officials from neigh
boring counties, including Sheriff Chas
Chapel and Deputy George Irish, f
st. Paul; Sheriff Ole Mansten, of Ait
kin, and Deputy Pat Varley, Of Grand
Rapids. Sheriffs Thorsen, of Pope;
Maynard, of Todd; Monroe. of Stevens;
McElvery, Of Stearns, and Deputy An
derson, of Hennepin. There were also
present Revs. Gilfllan and Opie, w. J.
McFetridge, of the Northern Pacific
secret service; Deputies J. W. Slipp
and w. S. Mcguire, newspaper men
and number of others.
When Canon Pentreath, of st. PauPs
Episcopal church, entered the Jail and
went at once to the condemned mans
cell, there was a hush in conversa-
ton, for it was known that Pryde was
to have the holy communion adminis-
tered. DR.. Gilfillan, Canon Pentreath
and Rev. r. G. Opie partook also and
at 80 O'Clock Sheriff Spalding, in the
presence of the clergymen, read the
death warrant to Pryde, who was un-
moved but who professed deep. re-
pentance. This formality over, he was
given light lunch and a glass of

Ex-Gov. Buchanan, of Tennessee; Gen.
Weaver, of Iowa, and Gen. Field, of
Virginia, who were the Populist cam
didates in 1892; Col. Burkett, of Mis-
sissippi; Buffalo" Jones, of Oklahoma:
Capt Reuben Cobb, Congressman
Howard and Col Bowland, of Ala
bama, and many others were prom
inent and conspicuous figures on the
floor.
On the platform were Chairman
Taubeneck, Senator Butler, of North
Carolina; Senator Allen, of Nebraska;
Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, of
Kansas, and other distinguished
guests. The appearance of sew
eral women delegates on the floor
was novel feature in a national politi-
cal gathering.
The press benches, usually occupied
by the representatives of the big
dailies, were largely given over to the
editors of the weekly reform papers
The decorations of the Republican con-
vention, which was held in the same
hall five weeks ago, still graced the
balconies and hid the wooden rafters
and pillars which upheld the high roof.
All the Republican portraits had, how
ever, been removed. Only the bust of
Gen. Grant remained. Just before the
convention was called to order, por-
traits of Abraham Lincoln and Peter
Cooper were hung out over the plat
form gallery.
THE DAY SESSION,
which lasted about an hour and half,
developed nothing, except possibly that
the noisy middle of the road contingent
were afraid to put to the touch their
claims. Last night after Senator But
ler. had been chosen temporary chair
man, by the national committee, and
they had ascertained that he favored
Bryan's nomination, they at once de-
cided to depose him, as Senator Hill
was deposed by the Chicago conven-
tion. At the conclusion of an en-
thusiastic meeting they determined to
put forward as their candidate, o. d.

however, their leaders decided that it
would not be the part of wisdom to

day, delegate from Indiana appeared
with middle-of-the-road badges Don

gave no expression Of opinion on the
subject but passed a resolution thank

Donnelly made two brief speeches To
the Indiana man he replied that he was
not a candidate but should, neverthe-
less, regard it high compliment II the

was hailed by the Bryan men as con-
elusive evidence that they realized they
were in the minority.
They were somewhat compensated
for the loss of the temporary chairman
ship in the speech of Ignatius Donnelly
who replied to Gov. Stones address of
welcome. He made a middle of the
road speech that stirred the radicals
to their depths. He appealed to them to
stand firm, so that all the dynamite
in Gods laboratory could not tear the
party asunder, and predicated that If
the Peoples party failed, the cause of
humanity would go down with it. The
speech of Senator Butler of North
Carolina as temporary chairman, was
listened to with eager interest. He is
a striking looking man with wealth
of wavy dark brown hair which
tumbles over his straight forehead and
which, together with a beard that
marks the lower part of his face, brings
into bold relief the straight aquiline
nose and gives to his dark olive COM

upheld the demand for the perpetuation
of the Populist organization which he
described as having driven the Re
publicans to gold and the Democrats
to silver. To be swallowed up by the
Democrats, he said, was danger only
equalled by the danger of being made
the indirect allies of the Republicans in
the present campaign. He gave both
factions chance to rend the air with
their shouts, but when In conclusion he
suggested a middle course, the purport

This was rallied off from the general
enclosure. A stout one-half-inch rope
was made fast to the big crossbeam
and it with the drop was duly tested
during the evening by the sheriff The
drop was one secured by the sheriff
from Otter Tail county jail and opened

sponded to Gov. Stones speech. His
appearance reused the middle of the
road men to a burst of enthusiasm.
Mr.. Donnelly spoke gracefully. paying
a high compliment to ST Louis, but
avoiding adroitly any allusion to the
subject upon which the delegates were
divided. The movement which this con-
vention represented, he said was a
growth of the farm. It had been con-
ceived in the distress that prevailed
among the producers of the country.
The people had felt the effects Of mis-
government. If there was any move
ment on the face of the earth, called
up by the .veritable hand of God it was
this. When he declared that the spirit
of Washington, Jefferson, jackson and

selected by the national committee
without a dissenting voice and he added
his belief that when the convention

had acted with as great unaninnity as
had the committee in choosing the tenn
porary chairman. Senator Butler was
received with hearty cheers. He said:

DULUTH, Mimi. July 22-There was
an old time rush at the land Office to-
day, when 6O24 was opened for settle
ment. At 1890 o'clock last night there
were a dozen men and one woman
waiting, and they waited all night
This morning the crowd was large and
the assistance of the police was neces-
sary to keep them back. Ninety-two
filings were made. The secret Of the
rush is that coal deposits are believed
to underly the property. The Great
Northern has 1000 acres in the town

The wide, fair gardens. the rich. lush gar
dens,
Which no man planted. and no man tills;
Their strong seeds drifted, their brave

Near and far over wales and hills;
Sip the bees from their cups of sweetness,
Poises above them the wild free wing.
And night and morn from their doors are
borne
The dreams Of the tunes that blithe
hearts sing.
The waving gardens, the fragrant gardens,
That toss in the sun by the broad high
way,
Growing together, gorse and heather,
Aster and goldenrcd all the day.
Poppies dark with the wine OF slumber,
Daisies bright with the look Of dawn,
The gentian blue and the long year
through
The flowers that carry the seasons on.
And the dear old gardens. the pleasant
gardens
Where mother used to potter about.
Trying and pulling. and sparingly culling.
And watching each bud as its flower
laughed out;
Hollyhocks here. and the princes feather,

Sweet were the dear old-fashioned gardens
Where we kissed the mother and said
Goodnight"

THE STATE BANKS.

The New York Financier notes, as an
evidence of false economy, that Virginia
issues no reports showing the condition
of the State banks and that in order
TO obtain the standing of these institu-
lions as a whole, 1t is necessary to put
the department of the Auditor of Public
Accounts of the Federal Government TO
a great deal of trouble. This is, indeed.
a mistaken policy on the part Of the
State. for which there is no reasonable
excuse. The reports Of these banks are
made and published monthly and it
would not cost the State officials much
labor or trouble to furnish the statement
suggested by the Financier.--The Peters
burg Index-Appeal
BY section ITO of the Code each State
bank is required to make to the Audi
tor of Public Accounts a statement of its
financial condition at such times identi-
cally as national banks are called upon
TO make similar statements to the Comp
troller of the Currency, and also to pub
lish such statement in some newspaper
OF the city or town in which the bank Is
located. In conformity with this statute
these statements are made to the Audi
tor and published in the papers some
five times year. Those interested in the
condition of these banks are thus kept
Informed thereof.
The calls are not made by the Auditor
at stated or fixed times. but whenever the
Comptroller of the Currency thinks best
to make them, and he advises the Audi
tor of Public Accounts by telegram
whenever he makes call. having been
asked by the Auditor so to do.
We learn that the officials of the
United States get from the Auditor S
office compilation of these reports
whenever desired, though no such COM
pilation is issued by the State.
