Arnold. Styer, Watkins and Padgitt
range in age from Is to is years, the
Arnold boy being about nine.
| The story told by Mrs. Arnold is
sensational in the extreme and charges
the boys complained of with serious
offense. According to Mrs. Arnold,
Styer, Watkins. Padgitt, her son
August, Charles Knott, Harry Acker-
son, Louis Brown and number of
others were playing on the river bank
near sLobdell's rim factory Sunday
afternoon. With the remark that they
would show the other boys how Jack
son and Walling would be hung, Styer,
Watkins and Padgitt took a piece of
rope and proceeded to hang Arnold,
Knott, Ackerson and Brown, one after
the other. All the boys strung up
were under 10 years of age and young
er and smaller than the embryo deputy
wardens, and though they objected
strenuously, We're easily overpowered.
The Knott, Brawn and Ackerson boys
were not much hurt, but the little
Arnold boy was seriously injured.
Mrs. Arnold says he was choked until
his tongue hung out and showed the
effects of it when he got home. His
neck was bruised where the knot on
the moose came in contact with the
flesh and he was so badly shaken up
that he was unable to attend school
Monday.
Styer and Watkins were arrested by
Marshal Parlin while at their work at
Lobdell's and brought before the
Mayor, who remanded them to Jail
pending notification being sent to their
parents

Col. E. Bridgeman tells good story

Col. E. Bridgeman tells good story
of a straw vote which was taken in
Wadena week or two ago, saws the
Fergus Falls Journal. Two men were
discussing the financial question on a
street corner, and having exhausted
their stock of arguments, were using
adjectives pretty freely. A crowd had
collected and some one suggested a
straw vote as a means of settling the
the matter. This was readily agreed to
the silver man, as usual, thinking that
everyone was with him, but it proved
otherwise. The'vote was in favor Of
Mckinley and stood 80 to PIC to !,
but not the kind that the silyerites re-
fish.

The Incoming Tide.

Republicans will be interested and will
find food for thought in comparison Of
the recent election in Arkansas with the
more recent election in Maine. The far
theI removed in time from the Arkansas
election the smaller the democratic
plurality and majority are; the farther
from the Maine election the larger they
are, taking in both Instances the official
returns as a guide.
The latest official fgrues in Arkansas,
representing all but six counties. give
che democrats plurality of As ,234, and
majority of 1910. In 1894, at the
state election, the democratic plurality
was 4S. 724, or 8, 496 more than it is to-
day. The majority in 1894 was.22, 622,
as compared with 33, $40 now, but this
increase is explained by the statement
that there was no fusion two years ago.
So much for the Arkansas STRAW" II
the silver hosts can find any consolation
in this falling off of 1890 thew are well
come to it.
Now, as to Maine. In 1892, her repub-
lican plurality was 1870 and her
majority was 3S, 97s with majority OF
3O,937. The Journal has seen nothing
yet showing the majority this year, but
the plurality, as announced by the
associated press this morning, s48, 1872.
Here has been steady gain for rep=b-
Iicanism since 1892. II the silver hosts
can find any consolation in these heavy
republican gains thew are welcome to it,
as in the Arkansas case. As ''straws,'
however. it begins to look as if one state
had done about as much to encourage
The sound money forces as the other,
These elections are suggestive also 81

Destructive Fire.

The post office OF Grove Lake, the
store OF V. E.. Strong, in which it was
located, were totally DESTROYED bv fire
on Saturday night last. Mr. Strong
lives in the rear of tke store building,
and retired at the usual hour to. be
awakened almost midnight by sense
of sufocation from smoke, and then dis
covered that the store was a seething
mass of flames. The-fire spread so rap
idly that he was unable to save any
thing with the exception OF a portion of
his every day wearing apparel. His
family was visiting friends at Alexan-
dria, and he alone occupied the build
ing. The mail matter consisting of only
few undelivered letters and perhaps
more burned, as also few dollars
worth OF sta mps. He had about $500
in stamps locked up in the safe, togeth-
err with his books and accounts, andabout
$125 in CURRENCY. When Mr.. Strong
was in town, on Tuesday, he had not
opened the safe, as he had the idea that
he must await the arrival of an assur-
ance adjuster before opening it.
The building was valued at $500, in
sured for $500, and his stock of goods
at $2700. insured for $500. The origin
OF the fire is mystery. During the
evening there were a number OF thresh-
ers IN the store making purchases, and
he is inclined to the belief that a burn
ing cigar stump mus. have been dropped
among some highly infamable goods,
Whipple and Lamb OF this city had
written tie insurance.

another fact, to which they give empha-
sis. The reaction against the St. Louis
republican platform was greatest at the
time of it's adoption. The farther re-
moved the country is from the st. Louis
convention in point of time the weaker
that reaction is. The rise of sentiment
in favor of the platf orm and candidates,
however, which set n now nearly thirty
days ago, was w eakest at the time of
inception. The farther removed the
country is from that inception in point
OF time the more powerful the movement
s. By election day the reaction against
sound money, which followed the ST.
Louis convention, will have become
counter current in it's favor of even
geater force and magnitude; the tidal
wave that swept the country for free
silver during the early sum mer will have
become almost memory. In recedlng
1t will leave many gallant political
craft high and dry upon the shore. Sem
ator Thurston was right when he said
in his Minneapolis speech, that the
political history OF this country taught
the fact that the American people, at
every national election involving great
issues, would have gone wrong could
the election haye come within Thirty
DAYS Of the national conventions.
Never has that fact been more forcibiy
taught than in this campaign. And
never, too. has it been more apparent
than it is to-day that the sober second
thought Of the country is always right.

What Shall be Done With the
Tramp?

In the city of Fond du Lac, Wis,
convention was in session last week foi
the purpose of evolving plans to suppress
or diminish the tramp evil. The Amer
lean Anti Tramp Society has induStrl-
ously collected statistics To show to what
extent the nuisance prevails III TINS
country, and is seeking with laudable
patience and perseverance to discover
the most effective remedy. 1t will not
lack suggestions, for the tramp problem
has been wrestled with aSsiduously and
prayerfully by all sorts Of philanthropic
individuals and associations, None OF
these, however, has been appreciably
successful, and it is to be feared that the
American Anti-Tramp Society will not
have much better luck.
The tramp is peculiar He is
welded to his idols. The majority of
the species are tramps, not from necesSi-
ty, but from choice. They will not
work if they can possibly avoid it, and
the occasional incarnation for longer
or shorter period in some county jail is
simply change Of form IN ldleneSs.
Periods occur sometimes, of course, of
peculiar hardship in the form of en-
forced working on country roads or In
some stone yard but these passed the
tramp tramps with rcdoubled z'st ana
energy. There are instances ON rccoud
of tramps reformed into respectable and
industrious members of society, hut they
are the exceptions that point the rule.
What the American Aut-Tramp So
ciety is anxious TO secure is concerted
action on the part of all the states. This.
of course, would be the most effective
way of dealing with the matter ISa-
lated efforts simply drive the TRAMP
from place to place vithou, causing him
to change his mode of living. Work, no
doubt is the only agency whereby the
regeneration of the tramp species can Lei
brought about, but unless Wandering
\killie begins to feel that there is mo-
ce where ne can lead life of indo-
and beggmy, hc will simply ,huu
