His Suit for 100000 Libel Will Be
Pushed to the End--His Friends
indignant at the Charges.

The Atlanta Constitution Saturday
morning said:
To-day attachments will be issued
against Seaboard engines, cars and
tracks to the value of 100000. The
action is taken by former General
Manager John II. Winder, who sues
for that amount. He says that the
Seaboard's management has Hbeled
him by publishing statements charg-
ing himwith having stolen$l5,OOO from
the company while he was connected
with it."
THE CHARGES THEY MADE.
The charges against Mr.. Winder
were made in set of resolutions pass
ed at the Baltimore meeting, and for
warded to him.
They are ass follows:
"Resolved, That the general counsel
of the Seaboard Air Line be requested
to write a letter to the late general
manager, Mr.. John III. Winder, and ask
for an explanation of the following
matters:

s. 1T. Hall and j. J. Ryder Spoke Here
Monday Evening.

Monday Evening.
Last Monday evening saw Jesmer's
opera house filled with an audience
which had assembled to listen to adj
dresses which were to be made by S..
q. Hall, the ''potato king" and J. J.
Ryder, a Democrat whose stomach re-
fused to assimilate the l6 to / silver
dose concocted at Chicago.
Mr.. Hall was the first speaker and
for an hour and thirty minutes facts
and figures were fed to the eager
audience with a rapidity that dis
tanced all efforts of reporters. He
spoke principally on the effect Of free
coinage on the farmers and is perhaps
better fitted to treat this phase of the
question than any other man in Min
nesota. He proved that the price of
potatoes was not deprecated by the
appreciation of money, but by ssthe APP
probation of the tubers in the hill y
His address treated of the history of
deprecated currency and the condi-
tion of the farmers in those eras and
was entirely different from anything
yet delivered from the rostrum this
year. His speech was we'll received
and the gentleman made an excellent
impression. His address was not
fowery but was so filled with fact and
argument thati was deeply interesting
Mr.. Ryder, who followed him, is in
an excellent position to talk to Demo-
Gratis, having been one ever since he
saw the light of day until his party
prostituted itself at Chicago. He was
a farmer boy and could remember the
hard times of years ago and recalled
them to freshen the recollection Of the
farmer who had once gone through. "a
period of deprecated currency but
seemed to have forgotten the hard
ships in the memories of the pleasures
which had followed the restoration of
honest money. Bryan had declare the
issue of the campaign sectional one
and was fighting on that line. Ryder
recollected the sectionalism which
made life one Of suffering in Kentucky
during the late war. He frightened
the memories of the old soldiers on this
point, too, and his address at this point
was full of pathos. His arraignment
of the Democratic party was scathing.
but not abusive and his arguments
based on facts. Senator Aliens recent
address was thoroughly dissected and
many good points scored from that
source. The gentleman is a bright,
entertaining speaker and no one pres
.ent regretted having heard him.
The Glee club rendered several
catchy selections which were highly
appreciated by the audience.

ceeded to ballot and the votes footed

4 On motion Mr.. Bouck was made the
unanimous choice of the convention.
j. "A. Ross and Charles A. Dickey
were both DESTROYS of securing the en-.
.dorsement Of the convention for their
for county attorney and
Mr.. Dickey pledged himself to support
the ticket even if he should be de-
feated for the nomination. Mr.. Ross
would not give up the right to run as
an independent candidate and his
name was therefore withdrawn.
Dickey was thereupon nominated by
reclamation, as were j. P. Mitchell,
surveyor; &C. Tarbox, coroner; and
Moses Cone, court commissioner.
For county superintendent there
we're three aspirants: Mrs. o. r. Bar
ker, Mrs. r. D. Patterson and J: j.
Parsons. The first ballot did not ex-
press a choice, but on the second Mrs.
Barker secured a majority of the votes
cast and was declared the nominee.
For county commissioner from the
first district I. S. Libby was named.
The nomination for the second district
was passed. G. W. Burnhelm was
chosen in the third, G.. H. Deans,
fourth, and, p. w. Cundy in the fifth.
a county committee consisting OF
five members was appointed by the
chair as follows: l.. S. Briggs, N. M.
Cook, William Orion, Charles Ander-
son and w. J. Blakley.
This completed the work Of the con
vention and it adjourned sine die.
Most of the4delegates and spectators
went to Milaca in the evening where a
rally was held. D., F. Reese, clerk OF
the supreme court, spoke. Mr.. Reese
gave a good address and stirred up an
immense amount of enthusiasm for the

TWO CONVENTIONS.
The Populis5s and Democrats
Met Monday to Nomi-
nate Tickets.
Fusion Went on all but One Cam
didate Tales OF the
.Tailenders.

Monday was the day set for the nomi-
mating conventions of the Democrats
and Populists, but somehow many of
them missed connections and only nine
Democratic delegates put in an APP
pearance, while the Populists with
authority numbered seventeen The
Democrats met in the forenoon and adj
journed to meet at O'Clock, at which
hour the Populists we're to be in ses-
sion
Both conventions took up the work
shortly after l O'Clock. G. II. Chad.
bourne acted as chairman of the Demo-
cratic convention and j.. M. Bolland
was chosen secretary. One thing was
noticeable in the makeup of the con
vention and that was the absence of
many of the old wheelhorses Of the
partySin former years. For the Popu-
lists r. s. Shaw filled the executive
seat and William Sanford acted as
scribe.
AS soon as the matter of credentials
was satisfactorily settled :; committee
of three from each convention met to
figure on a fusion ticket. After a long
consultation it reported the following
choice: For auditor, I. S. Mudgett;
treasurer, G. H. Chad bourne; register,
p. E.: Price; sheriff, George Buck:
clerk of court, Nels Nelson: judge Of
probate, R. W. Freer; coroner, IT. G.
Cooney; court commissioner, James
Price; county attorney, J. n. Rogers.
This list was acceptable to the Dem
ocrats but not so with the Pops. A
glance at the list will show the reason:
Only one Populist secured a plum.
The report was accepted, however, but
the work of tearing it to pieces began
Immediately. When the bottom was
reached William Burke had been sub
stituted for G.. Ell. Chadbourne and
James Vinson for George Buck. Both
parties agreed on Miss Marion Mud
gett for superintendent of schools and
f. G. Cater commissioner for the first
district, r. S. Shaw, second and A. j.
Barrett, fourth.
The Democrats meanwhile had been
working to secure the reinstatement
Of Chadbourne and Buck and finally
the Populists consented to reconsider
the nominations. William Burke was
called in and said that he placed party
above personal advancement and would
step'down gracefully if the convention
said so. The convention thereupon
deposed Mr.. Burke and took up Mr..
Chadbourne, but adjourned before any
thing was done in the Buck Vinson
matter.
There was very little enthusiasm
shown and the conventions dragged
very perceptibly, especially that of
the Populists
The Populist county committee for
the ensuing term is made up as follows:
RS. Shaw, chairman, W. B. Carter,
NJ. g. Cutler.
The Democrats decided to have a
county committee consisting of one
from each precinct. G.. III. Chadbourne
was made chairman and the others APP
pointed were: J. M. Bolland, Milaca;
g. Lundgren, Bogus Brook: James
Price, Milo. Other appointments will
be made later.
Morris spoke in both Foreston and
Milaca this week. He spoke in Fores-
ton Monday night, as advertised, to a
large audience, but was unable to keep
his engagement for an evening sneech

The Republicans Of Mile Laos
county met in convention at Foreston
last Friday and nominated candidates
forc county officers. There was more
interest displayed at this convention
than at any which has been held this
year and each delegation was attended
by large number of enthusiasts for
this or that candidate
-. S. Briggs, chairman of the county
committee, called the convention to
order and asked for nominations for
temporary chairman. e. W. Cundy
and n NJ. Cook were placed in nomin-
alton but Mr.. Cook withdrew and Mr..
CundY was chosen. A moment later
.Dr.a Cook was named as temporary
secretary.
8 q committee on credentials, consist
ing OF one from each precinct was
elected, and was composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: Joseph Craig, G..
w Van ormer, Fred Mcfarland,
King .Burrell, Frank Tellander, "A. L..
Snow, John Haggberg, William Sulli-
van, August Kurke. The committee
reported no contests and the conven-
ton Immediately got down to business,
having first made the temporary or.
ganization permanent.
The convention declared that every
candidate must be Republican,
pledged to vote for Mckinley and sup
porting sound money.
IS After this little preliminary had
been arranged G.. I. Staples nominated
B. M. VanAlstein, for auditor and
Geo. II. Deans presented the name of
e. p. Whitney. j. IT. Ward, Z. S..
Libby and G.I. Staples were appointed
tellers and ballot was taken with the
following result:

Mr.. Whitney was thereupon de-
clared the Republican nominee for
county auditor.
F. M. Campbell was the only man
mentioned for county treasurer and his
nomination was secured by acclama-
tion.
Then occurred the great contest Of
the convention. Five men were
anxious to catch criminals and con-
duct mortgage sales and had been
hustling hard for several weeks mast to

ton. The names Of the candidates

Successful Hairdressing.

The real keynote to successful
hairdressing, as the tasteful woman
has long ago found, is to follow only
in the distance, and with as many
ramifications as Brooklyn street
car line, the prevailing fashion. If
that capricious dame announces that
chair is worn low this season." it
means simply, to the woman W no
knows, that the general effect of her
couture is to be slightly lowered.
She will still dress her hair, as she
must always, to suit her face. A
low, straight forehead may be sur
rounded by a pompadour arrange
ment; a high pointed brow, never,
Fine, straight, black hair, ought
never to show itself in frizzes or fine
curls; loose, shining waves are its
frightening beauty, 1t is a curious
fact, too, that blonde, brown hair,
may permit itself sweet confusion
that in black hair is simple untidi-
ness. The woman with coarse, wavy
hair may congratulate herself, for it
always lends itself, above all cheve-
lures, to easy arrangement. Novel
lists like to describe the fine hair of
their herOines, but such hair is a
trial to its owner and its owner 5
maid-if she has one-and if, in adj
dition, it is straight, both owner and
maid are justified in regarding it as
a genuine handicap to all successful
coitfering.

The Nursery Floor.

There is a wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the propriety of covering
the nursery floor with a carpet. 1t
has its advantages as a prevention of
bumps aud bruises, especially if
thickly padded underneath. All
things being equal, very thick
well-laid carpet is the best. The
perfection of arrangements in this
line was reached by a woman who
had the floor covered with cocoa
mating and over this a good quality
of brussels carpet. The carpet was
tackled down very tightly and
stretched to its utmost capacity. The
broom never entered the nursery for
regular work; the carpet sweeper
and a damp cloth took up all of the
surface dust and the other worked
through the carpet, and thence
down through the mating to the
floor. Once in two or four weeks
the furniture was taken out, the win
dows opened, and a most thorough
sweeping and beating of the carpet
took place. Between times no dust
was raised in the room. The carpet
was wiped off with cloth at least
every other day, and all the wood
work was wiped instead of being
busted.

Hetty Green's Advice to Women.

For the benefit of women with
small sums of money to invest, Mrs.
Hetty Green, who is the richest
woman in America, gave the follow
ing statement to a New York re-
porter:
IT would advise any woman with
$500 at her command to invest in
real estate. She should buy the
real estate at auction on occasions
when circumstances have forced the
sale. If she will watch for such an
opportunity, it will surely come, and
she will find that she can buy par
Gel of land at one-third its appraised
value. Iregard real estate invest
ment rs the safest means of invest
ing idle money. 1t does not always
bring a steady interest, but it is less
likely to depreciate in value than
stocks, which are always somewhat
uncertain. A woman with tact and
ability will be on the alert to learn
of mortgage about to be foreclosed.
In such cases she should negotiate
with the owner of the property, and
give him enough to clear his debt,
thus saving him the costs of a sale.
Many woman has profited by an
opportunity of this kind. OF course,
if woman has $500 in cash and
wishes to speculate, she may branch
out more broadly and take greater
risks, with the prospect of greater
returns. But she should bear in
mind that real estate is the cOllat-
eral to be preferred to all others"

1t is not desirable to lay a baby on
it's back when sleep is wished for.
Either one side or the other is best,
and, if possible, it is well to accus-
tom it first to one side and then the
other, as this obviates falling into
the habit of being able to sleep only
on one side. But a child who is
wide awake, and of a happy DISPOSE
ton, so that it lies cooling to itself
and watching the mysteries of its
own ten fingers, is all the better for
being laid on its back, as the spine
is thereby kept straight and unre-
strained, and growth goes on apace,
Just as it does when growing boy
or girl is compelled, from accident,
to spend few weeks in recum-
bent position, and fipds when al
lowed to get up that none of its
clothes are long enough.

Night Troubles.

1t may be a little trying to tired
father or mother to be awaked IN
the dead of night by fretful little
youngster, who insists that he
wants a dink, " when you are quite
sure that he does not really need
nor want it. 1t is aggravating to
have to get up and go scurrying
around in the cold and darkness TO
get the "dink," and you are apt 30
say something harsh and impatient
to the little lad or lassie when the
water has been brought. 1t is an
noying to have the baby awaken
and cry for full hour in the dead
of night, when there is apparently
mo earthly reason why the child
should do so. 1t is hard to be gentle
and patient, and you are apt to say
things that you do not mean. You
may even be moved to give the
child a shake or two, or even slap,
and you don't feel very sorry when
this causes increased yells. You
can be gentle and patient, perhaps,
if you know that the little one is
really i'll, but even then it is not
easy to get out in the dead of night
and you are ready to confess that
children are a great care. You
think that you wouldn't mind the
trouble they make in the daytime
if they would only be good at night.
But there is trouble that some.
times comes in the dead of night
that far outweighs the trouble the
baby may have given you. 1t is
when the little crib in the corner
of the room is empty. 1t is wher
the pillow beside your own is nc
longer rumpled by a precious little
curly head, and a little form, and
baby arms no more nestle close &c
your side. 1t is when the little
voice that once awakened you in the
dead of night awakens you no more
because the baby lips are closed il
death. This is trouble so real, Sc
genuine, so grievous, that your pill
low is wet with tears as you lie il
the darkness and stiffness, thinking
of the little one that will trouble you
no more in this life. Your hear
aches and your empty arms long foi
the child that once troubled you 5,
in the dead of night.

The Bonnet Question.

Every woman should read, mark
and inwardly digest "Aunt LAWN
las" trenchment remarks on the
bonnet question in the book For
Plain Women Only" "Above all
things" says this clever woman,
1.-The ideal hat is simple in construc-
ton and shape. Let the material
be as costly as you please-no pro-
perly understood hat or bonnet can
afford to be anything but simple and
singleminded in the impression it
produces. Overabundance is the
abomination of desolation, ana con-
fusion of ideas has been the death
warrant of many a blameless bon
net. For, consider, the object of its
existence is to surmount, to crown
and frame human countenance
And if that face be beautiful already,
what possible collection of beads,
straw, fur, moss, plovers eggs, pink
roses and plumage is likely to draw
closer attention to the lovely and
delicate lines beneath? And if the
face be irregular III shape, faded or
muddy in color, unfortunate in
length or size or breadth, what con-
catenation of the animal, mineral
and vegetable Kingdoms is calcula-
ted to lead away the critical eye to
some happier point in the wearer's
anatomy? No, Theodore. A wo-
mans headgear must be simple in
outline and simple in effect. 1t
must appear the result Of decora-
tive impulse, not the madness of a
natural history museum. And it
must-it must be personal. The
properly trained woman would no
more accept a bonnet which she had
not desired, suggested or selected,
than she would accept husband be-
cause that was the style of man peo-
pie were marrying this season."
