No State Ticket.

At a meeting of the state central
committee Of the national democrats it
was decided to abandon the idea of
naming a state ticket. While there
are some members of the committee
who favor such a step, in the opinion
of the majority it was not" advisable.
1t was further decided not to inter-
fere with the congressional situation
by naming a. candidate in any of the
districts. { However, the committee
unanimously agreed to name an cleo
toral ticket, and this was. done. The
names of those chosen were not given

Grain inspection

The mem bers of the Superior board
OF trade say that the proposed scheme
of the Duluth and Minneapolis grain
men owning elevators in that city to
overthrow the Wisconsin inspection
law by taking it into the courts and
having it decided unconstitutional will
not work. At least they will not be
the ones upon whom the burden of the
fight will devolve, as, according to the
reports from St. Paul, the Minnesota
interests would have it. It is reported
that the Minnesota railroad and ware
house commission has refused to take
any hand in the present fight except to-
agree to place inspectors at Sandstone,
Mimi, and there inspect wheat for Su-t
perior. 1t is proposed to then place it
in the Great Northern elevators at SUI
perior and let the board of trade try to
stop them for running without license.

ALBERT r. PENNINGTON.
AGED rs YEARS.

AGED 10 YEARS.
Albert r. Pennington died on Tuesday
at his home in Philadelphia, aged IS years.
He was very well.known in. this commu-
nifty, having resided in Middletown for
many years, and was at one time the lead
ing business spirit here, and it was from
him that Middletown received its first real
business impulse. He was noted machin-
ist and inventor, and for years operated
large foundry and mandatory of all
farming implements, and carried on an ex-
tensive real estate business. He built a
number of houses in Middletown, one of
which is the present home of DR.. T. II.
Gilpin. The Pennington Reaper, which
was his invention, was for years the
leading reaper throughout this section, and
in almost every harvest field in the State
the little Pennington" could be seen as
the successor to the old "Hussey." He had
the distinction of inventing and building
the first self-binding reaper ever operated
in this country. 1t was given trial on a
farm near town, but lacking several i'm
portant attachments, it did not prove a
success. His patent, improved. however, is
the same that is found in all the self-bind
ing machines now in popular use.
His lot was that of many another genius,
to begin enterprises from which others reap
the benefit. He was progressive man of
large views. but lacked capital to carry out
his plans, and it was thus that business
losses and reverses came to him.
He was man of gentle and amiable dis
position, delightful companion, good
friend and kind neighbor, and especially
notable for his devotion to his family and
home.
Shortly after the death of his wife which
occurred about twelve years ago, he moved
to Philadelphia and had a pleasant home
with his daughters, and in happy bright
old age he serenely passed on to the eternal
home with heart that was all kindness
toward man and all gratitude toward God.
His weary body was laid to rest beside
his honored wife in old st. Anne's Gene
terry yesterday afternoon. the fun neral
reaching town on the $40 train. He leaves
one son, Ashbury, and five daughters, also
one brother, Lewis.
