vidipg adequate punishment for defalca-
tiops OF public officers.
4 The republican party having al
ways been the friend Of labor and labor
ing men, deplores the frequent strikes
and conflicts between employers and
employed, resulting at times in the de-
struction of life and property and great
injury to those Immediately concerned
and the public generally, and favors the
settlement Of all questions Of dispute
arising between labor and capitol by le-
gally constituted arbitration by which
all parties interested shall be bound.
5. We believe the transportation cor
porations OF this state are the peoples
public servants; we oppose any and all
harsh or unjust legislation concerning
them, but we do demand such legislation
as will clothe the board Of railway com
m,ssioners Of this state with full power
and authority to correct evils, right
wrongs, and in general to prevent all un-
just Determinations, and to provide a
reasonable maximum tariff Of passenger
and freight rates.
We recommend that each county con-
vention OF this state, for the nomination
Of members for the legislature, take such
action as will require all candidates
upon the Legislative ticket to commit
themselves upon the Question OF legisla-
ton to carry out the meaning and pur-
pose OF this resolution.
6. We view with apprehension the
growth Of corporate power in this coun-
try, and especially are we opposed to
trusts and combines which during re-
cent years have steadily multiplied, seek
ing by unjust and illegal means to stitie
competition, and thereby, while lettering
the producer, to extort ~extravagant
prices from the We pledge
! the party and it's nominees for congress
| and the senate to use all efforts toward
their destruction.
!. Whereas, complaints are made by
the people concerning the manaSement
Of the grain elevators within the state;
Therefore, we demand that the coming
legislature make a thorough investiga-
ton into the details Of such manage
ment within this state, and by proper
legislation provide adequate remedies for
the evil that May be found TO exist:
8. We invite every voter who Is a low
or oil good government and who desires
the return OF prosperous and good times
to Join with US in the election OF the re-
publican ticket in county, state and ma
ton.
In addition to the platform as above
quoted, the convention adopted also the
following re solutions:

Report Of the Weather Bureau for
Week Ending Monday, Aug. "a.
Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-The weather
over the state was clear till the mid
die of the week. after which time
cloudy or partly cloudy weather pre-
vailed, with showers, which are not
evenly distributed. They were gener-
ally light except for a rain of 1.60
inches in Mobiles county on Friday.
In portions of the southwestern sec
ton rain is badly needed, especially
in WatonWan and Cottonwood coun-
ties, and even where there have been
showers more is generally needed for
the fall blowing. The day tempera-
lures were probably below the normal
maximum till Friday, when they be-
came higher, going down again Oh
Saturday. Although the night tenn
peratures were low during the early
part of the week, they did not reach
the frost line, and during the latter
part of the week were higher. North
ern Section-Wheat harvest is still in
progress, but many have finished
Oats and barley will hardly be ready
for cutting for two weeks A very
light frost occurred on the mornings
OF the 10th and 18th in KittSOn coun-
ty, but no damage resulted. West
Notwithstanding is nearly finished
and threshing is in progress. The
yields so far are disappointing both in
amount and grade. Late corn has
gained considerably during the week.
A little early corn has been cut, but
most of it needs two weeks of good
weather for its maturing. The ground
is very dry for blowing but in some
places it is begun. East Central -
Stacking is generally done and thresh-
ing is in progress. The corn is gen
orally a good crop, part of which is
ripe enough to cut now or next week.
Apples are a splendid crop. South
west Section-Nearly all the wheat is
stacked and threshing is in progress.
Corn is doing we'll Second crop flax
is poor and is not rpening well. The
rains of Friday night were beneficial
to corn and pastures and helped ploW-
ing in some counties, especially Lin
coin, hurry, Mobiles and Jackson, but
the long drouth in WatOnWan and
Cottonwood counties continues with
resulting damage to corn. Southeast
Section-Threshing in progress; wheat
is said to be shriveled. Corn is ma
turing slowly and will be a good crop
with two weeks OF good weather.
Showers fell on Friday, but more rain
is needed for blowing which is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. Late
clover seed has been injured by the
nudge. but very early ripened clover
is we'll seeded. Grapes are exception
ally fine.

Sour Meal Kills Chicks.

The common custom is TO keep a
dish of Indian meal mixed up, and two
or three times a day lot is thrown
down to the chickens. If they eat it,
well and good; if not and the chances
are they will not, they having become
tired Of one single article of diet, set
before them day after day, it stands
and sours. If a quantity is thus found
uneaten, the next feed is likely to be a
light one, and the chickens, driven by
hunger, finally devour the sour stuff;
the result is cholera, or some other ia
tai disease, sets in and their owners
wonders ''Why my chickens are dying
off" In our own practice we find that
small quantities of varied food, if given
to the chickens often, produce vastly
better results than any other method
of feeding

A New Feature of the X Rays.

Little is yet kown of the physiolog-
zeal effects of the Roentgen rays. Va
rious reports have been made by eX-
perimenters of loss of hair, and in
f1ammation of the eyelidS, upper lips
and of the skin of the face generally,
somewhat of the nature of SunbuIn,
but no systematic attempt is known
to have been made to investigate the
causes Of these phenomena. \ case,
however of the deleteriouS influence of
X rays on the human body has hap
pened in New York, which is both
specific and well authenticated. Co
lumbia college graduate has for some
weeks past been giving exhibitions in
the vicinity of the city. After the first
four dayS-he would work around his
apparatus from two to three hours
morning and evening-he was COM
PEELED to cease active work for Il while.
The first sign was a drying of the skin,
which afterwards became SO painful
that all opera tons had to be stopped.
The hands began to swell, and as
sumed the appearance of having a very
deep sunburn. At the end Of two
weeks the skin all came off the hands.
The knuckles were the soreSt part of
the hand. Among other effects noted
were the following The growth of
the finger nails was stopped, and the
hair on the skin that was exposed 10
the rays all dropped out, especially on
| the face and sides of the head. The
hair at the temples disappeared en-
tirely, owing to the constant placing
of the head in close proximity to the
tube to enable spectators to see the
bones of the jaw. The eyes were quite
bloodShot, and the vision was con-
siderably impaired. The eyelashes be-
gan to fall out and the lids to swell.
The chest was also burned through the
clothing, the burn resembling sunburn
Finally, work has to be given up for
two weeks, the physicians who treated
the case pronouncing it one of par
boiling. The coating of the hand i'll
yaseline and placing it within a glove
gave no protection whatever The,
hand was eventually protected by COW
ering it with tin foil The sufferer
from this painful experience asks all
those who have been in similar plight
to communicate to any electrical jour
nal their symptoms and attendant phe-
nomena, with view to the determine
ton of the physiological qualities Of
the Roentgen ray.

far as can be learned the name does
not imply either hidden mechanism or
any fresh achievement on the part of
the magician. The prosaic truth, stat
ed in prosaic English. reveals only the
fact that the dressmaker who prepares
her patron for the platform has Il doub-
ly difficult task. Women who make up
audiences have not ceased as yet to in
dulge in criticisms concerning the cos
tune of the lecturer and as the gown

Three other persons Wee more or less
injured, three people norrOwly escaped
and loss of about $11 900 was sus-
tainCd The dead are: Henry Dulun,

din. proStrated.
The fire broke out at about O'Clock,
and in an hours time the department
had it under control 1t was not
known that any one had been burned
to death until this morning at about i
o'clock, when a fireman stumbled over
the remains of Henry Dulun. The
body was taken at once to a neighbor-
ing house, but it was burned almost to
Il crisp, and the flesh had begun to
drop Off
The bodies of two other men, l.. Il.
Anderson and Gust Anderson, who
were in the same room With Dulun
were found at neon. Gust Anderson
Was 30 years old and a single man. h.
+. Anderson was 40 years old, and had
a wife and several children in his ma
tive land Dulun was 81 years old
and single.
The injured people received their
burns as they attempted to get out of
The burning building but it is thought
that they are not dangerous Mrs.
I4undn was i'll at the time, and it is
feared that the shock she received will
90 hard with her. although her physi-
clan thinks that it will not prove fatal.
Mrs. Catherine Sterling, Miss ELLA
Stevenson and Miss Helen Hendrick-
son were brought from the building by
the firenen on ladders.
The fire is surpassed to lava started
on the third Hos Of the Lundi1 block,
near tie rooms. or possibly in them,
where the dead men slept. The fire
spread rapidly and in few moments
the third floor fell in and later the
second floor At the same time the
Berslin block was burIing tiercely. 1t
Yves not long before the two buildings
were almost a total wreck.

of Destruction.
Milwaukee, Aug. 30.-Dispatches re-
ceived from Ontonagon, Mich, state
that fires broke out to-day and
famed by high winds, threatened to
destroy the temporary building and
tents as well as the few structures
that escaped the confagration of
Tuesday night. Several men battled
with the flames for several hours and
finally fought them back The situa
ton at Ontonagon, outside of the des-
titution and suffering, is described as
serious. In digging i'll the ruins OF
burned saloons large quantities of
liquor was found and scores of men
became intoxicated To-day this ele-
ment has ruled affairs with high
hand and other citizens are i'll terror
of life and property. The hoOdlum
element has interfered with the dis
tribution of relief supplies, and so
serious has the situation become that
the relief committee determined on
calling on the governor for troops to
do guard duty. The confusion is so
great that there is no possibility that
the disorganized local authorities can
restore order or guarantee protection
to the thousands who are homeless
and unprotected.
A telegram has been received say
ing that ROckland, the village south of
OntonagOn. from which relief work at
the burned town has been directed, is
threatened with destruction by forest
fires The woods are in flames near
the town, and, driven by high wind,
arc approaching tie suburbs. A large
force Of men is fighting the fire.

Dishonored Drafts.

When the stomach dishonors the drafts
made upon it by the rest of the system, it
is necessarily because its fund of strength
is very low. Toned with HOstetter'S
Stomach Bitters, it soon begins to pay out
vigor in the shape of pure, rich blood, con-
tanning the elements of muscle, bone and
brain. As a sequence of the new vigor
afforded the stomach, the bowels perform
their functions regularly, and the liver
works like clock work. Malaria has no
effect upon a system thus reinforced.
