THE name of Lucas Kells has been
mentioned as delegate TO the national
convention TO be held in Chicago on July
9TH, and no better selection corld be
sound democrat, who devotes time and
endeavor to the best interests OF his
party. He has no sympathy nor pa
thence with that wing of democracy
which is ever ready to sacrifice principle
to 'tempory success On the money
question he is sound, and his influence
in the delegation would be for the best
that democracy stands for.

The Clough boomers are claiming
everything, but no one should be de-
ceived by their loose talk. They are
now engaged in the difficult task Of con-
vincing the people in this section.of the
state that Clough will win hands down
in Hennepin county. In view Of the
fact that nearly all the leading republi-
cans in that county, the men who swept
the. primaries for Loren Fletcher the
other day. are opposing Mr.. Clough and
are certain of electing an anti-Clough
delegation, this claim is absurd. Equal
ly absurd is the claim that Ramsey
county will be carried by Clough. 1t is
almost certain to choose delegation
favorable to Moses E. Clapp.
In this connection the following ex-
tract from the Winona Republican is
interesting as further evidence of the
hollowness OF the claims made by the
Clough boomers: "All this stuff about
Governor Clough gaining ground
throughout the state, while his oppon-
ents are dropping behind, that you hear
about in certain newspapers is sheer
nonsense" was the remark of a gentle
man who within few days visited the
Twin Cities and the northern part of the
state. cit is simply game of bluff.
The governor has strikers and blowers
in every county, Of course: men who
hold office by his appointment, and as
rule they are very talkative, and make
great deal of noise as compared with
the superficial size of their physical cor
porosity, but they don't speak for the
people. The people, / tell you, are
against perpetuation Of the existing
state house ring. and they will support
Van SAINT or Lee, or before humbling
themselves in the dust before Clough
and his salaried satellites. Let us de-
clare our independence once more, is the
motto, and if am not mistaken it will
be heard from in a very emphatic way
within the next two or three weeks"
The Winona paper supports Van SAINT
and therefore puts his name first, but
the fact is that Lee is far in the lead at
the present time, with Clapp second.
Not only will Mr.. Lee have the delega-
tions from sixteen or seventeen of the
Sixth district counties, but he will have
delegates from nearly every other con-
gressional district. In the Seventh dis
trict he has strong supporters, and in
the Third several counties will give him
their votes. A large section of the Sec.
ond district will send Lee delegations to
St. PAM. The Herald has received a
etter from prominent republican of
Renville county, in which he says: This
Renvil.e) county will no doubt send |
Lee delegation to the state convention,
and as near as can lean he is very
likely to hold Redwood, Yellow Medicine,
Chippewa, Swift and Lac qul Parle
and stands good chance of
Sibiey county ALSO" Rock
county in the First district, will be for
Lee, and Senator Miller feels confident
hat all the counties in his senatorial |
district will be in line for Mr.. Lee. These
acts show that IGr. Lee is the most |
prominent candidate Herald.

You have right to disbeleave us if

When we claim the Stein-Bloch
clothes are as good in material, as
good in tailoring, and as good fitting
clothes as your tailor can produce,
you have right to doubt. But have
you rightto deny the facts until you
are able to disprove them? Maybe
you are basing your doubt on the
way ready-to-wear clothes were made
ten or dozen years ago. If that's the
case we can certainly open your eyes
if you'll take the trouble to investi-

County Convention.
The Republican county committee of
Stearns county met on Saturday in St.
Cloud for the purpose of calling the
county convention to select delegates to
the state convention at st. Paul and the
congressional convention in St. Cloud.
The utmost harmony prevailed among
the committeeman and there was no
dispute over the time for the convention.
In fact there could not we'll be, as the
election laws provisions gives the COM
mittee very little latitude in the matter
of time. The committee called the con

Here's a Specimen.

There is decided rara avis among the
petit jurors drawn on the present term
of the district court. 1t is in the person
of A. B. Raymond, prosperous farmer
in the town of Raymond, this county,
and the point wherin Mr., RAYMOND diff
ters from nearly everybody else is in the
fact that the present trip to St. Cloud
gave him his first experience as passen-
ger on railway train. Furthermore
he had never seen an electric street car
until coming to St. Cloud this week. He
is a.young man of good intelligence, and
has lived IN this county for many years.
What makes his case one of unusual IN
terest is the fact that he has lived for
fifteen years within distance of eight
miles of two railroad lines and for the
past ten years only twelve miles froi1
another railway. Notwithstanding his
proximity to the lines he had never set
foot upon railway car until his present
trip to the county seat. Wednesday
morning he was passenger from Sank
Centre to St. Cloud on the Great North
ern's limited train and in reply to ar
interrogation from friend confessed
that he was little dizzy on his first
| ride.-Journal Press.

Steam and Heat washs.

In regard to wastes of heat In general
ing steam tho opinion Is expressed by En-
gineer Kent, In "a lecture before the Frank
lin institute, that there does not seem to
be any possibility Of greatly reducing the
waste In tho steam engine, So that its con-
sumption will be less than 1917 pounds
per hour; that In all steam engines there
must BIO thrown away either hot steam, as
In high pressure engines, Or vast volume
of hot water, as in noncondensinR engines,
in the latter Case there being no known
way OF recovering the heat from the water
thrown away, SO that Ii may be used again
In the engine. The preventable wastes, he.
says, are those enormous ones which ara
indicated by the difference between con-
sumption of 12X pounds per hour par
horsepower and the 25, 35 or even loo
pounds which are used In tho various types
OF engines and the stih moro inexousable
wastes which are ipdioated by the differ
ence in the figures showing the best ppao-
tice and the worst in steam boilers. Mr.
Kent thinks it may be left for tho next
century to discover some way of obtaining
mechanical energy from coal without the
intervention of the steam engine, hut at
present there seems to be no prosnect of
SUCH an inventionA-New York SON.

In nominating William j. Bryan, OF
Nebraska. for President, the Democratic
national convention at Chicago has de.
cided wisely and we'll. a better man
for the position could not have been Sc

thousands from the other parties will
flock to his standard. Brosdsminded
and liberal, determined foe to mono
lies and the olagarchy of wealth. his
silver tongue and poignant pen have
proven potent weapons in defense OF
the people and the peoples rights.
Brilliant, logical and eloquent. he has
done as much as any man in the coun-

age and protect all the rights of free
people. His nomination is q reward
OF work we'll done, and his cleo ton will
follow, as matter of course. With
such cause and such q leader, the

rise from the ashes OF dependency and
the gloom OF defeat in q bright blaze of

THE NIGHT SESSION.

The crowds which stormsd the COL
iseum to night in anticipation Of
another oratorical display, such as they
listened to last night, were disappointed
as the leaders had decided. after oon-
Bultation, not to proceed with the nom.
ination Of the Vice. President tonight.
At S:55 Chairman White. by dins of
much rRpping, managed to sbring the
convention to order. After making a
formal announcement Gen. Bragg, of
Wisconsin, appeared on the scene to
make personal statement.
Some gentlemen, ne complained, had
in the last session, during the absence
Of the delegation for consultation,
stolen the State colors and Joined In the
Bryan parade. and he wished to put the
record right by having IL understood
that I'VE trailed not the Wisconsin
badge behind the candidate of the ma :
jority of this convention.
Kisses and few cheers followed this
defiant statement and the chairman de-
clared that he would entertain no fac
tional questions and introduced Cover
nor Stone, OF Missouri.

vention has been so we'll done that it
will meet the enthusiastic and instant
approval OF this nation" he began.

The Pitcher Plant.

The nepenthes or pitcher plant is found
In 20 or 30 varieties. 1t is indigenous to
Snmatra, Borneo, iouth India, Ceylon and
many parts Of southern Asia. and tropical
Africa. In itssimplest form small reoep-
tacle or pitcher depends from the end OF
leaf or stem, hinged lid closing the up
per part OF the vessel. II is usually about
half full OF clear water, and around the,
edges OF the pitcher is found viscous
mud very attractive to. insects. In some
varieties of the plant the insects sin Tho
fluid, which seems to have an Intoxicating
effect, and then immediately fall into the
water, where they are drowned. In others
the lid OF the pitcher is left open ana closes

serve in some way to nourish the plant.

Like Rembrandt, Velasquez gradually
worked up to the mastery and summary
handling that distinguishes his later STYLE
through an carly period which was charac-
terized by great precision and some hard
ness. Indeed 1t may be laid down as q
general law in painting-a law to which l
should like to call the attention of my
friends, tho impressionists--tha the only
way to arrive at q really mastery sketchi-
ness is to do great deal Of preliminary
work in a very precise and careful style
Even when the method Of Velasquez was
most rapid and summary 1t never degene-
rated into carclessneSs. Indeed he was one
of the few court painters who have been
able to resist the dcteriorating influences
of his surroundings. Holbein was another
but they were no doubt both of them men
Of very exceptional character.
|, These surroundings, however, although
they did not degrade the man, have IN
doubleday endangered his reputation as o
painter, for the constant demand for re-
pleas of his royal portraits necessitated his
setting up Workshop where these replieas
were produced by his assistants Although
he never did careless work himself, vet he
made himself responsible for great deal
Of work that was done by inferior hands
1t Is this question Of tho workshop that
makes it so enormously difficult to be sure
OF the genuineness of any reputea work of
the master. For instance, there was late
~ exhibited at the New gallery about 40
pictures assigned to Velssquez, but think
most good judges will say that not more
than six or seven of them at the outside
are by his hand.

chance, could manage portrait group as
we'll even as the great Dutch painters can
be seen from the magniflcentp picture of the
surrender of Brcda commonly called "Tho
