unanimously adopted.
The following delegates were then
chosen to represent the county at the
st. Cloud convention:
G. H.. Rines, S. M. Orion, r. F.
Mcclellan, James Mitchell, L. S.
Briggs, George Dean, G. B. Rogers.
This completed the business of the
convention and it adjourned sine die. :.
NOTES. .-s--
Owing to the change in time of the
trains the delegates were forced to
drive to Foreston. 49,. !.
Mile Laos had but one choice for
governor and was not afraid to show
the rest of the State who it's choice
was.
Not only was the convention a har-
monious affair but each primary cleo
ton was also. And the people are
satisfied with the result.
Foreston handled the convention
nicely and the delegates are unani-
nous in praising the citizens for the
manner in which they were enter
tanned.
p. p. Whitney deserves great credit
for the excellent manner in which his
hotel cared for the visitors. The bill
of fare which he served that day was
far better than that of most Of the city
hotels and the service was excellent.
Everybody praises Ed. and the reputa-
tion he has thus secured for his hotel
will be worth a great deal to him.
There was nothing lacking that could
be desired.

stricken by death amid his luxurious
surroundings and leaves his wealth to
be scrambled for by greedy heirs.
Then the scene changes to the court
room, where brothers are pitted against
brothers, sisters against sisters, mothers
against children, and lifelong friends
turn against each other in a desperate
struggle for the gold of dead men.
During the last 20 years 90 large for

600 each, have been distributed by the
San Francisco probate court. The ag-
gregate sum represented by all these
estates is over SITS, coo. 600. The best
feature about all this is that this prince
" sum was not handed down to a few
heirs in big Jumps, but was parceled
out among many. Hundreds of persons
shared in the distribution, and the
wealth which had been accommodating

that his estate was handed over to his

The original trial began July IS, 1889,
and a decision was not handed down for
a whole year. The court was in session
228 days, EOS Witnesses were examined

This was only the beginning, though.
For years the contestants, numbering at

NO POLITICS FOR WOMEN
Until They Can Vote is Mrs. Katie R.
Addison's Idea.

Mrs. Katie r.. Addison, president Of
the Kansas Equal Suffrage associa-
ton, attended a reception given in her
honor by the Kansas City, Kan, branch
of the organization on Monday of this
week A local paper says of the Occa-
sion:
The reception at the hotel afforded
Mrs. Addison the opportunity of meet
ing 200 or 300 men and women who are
interested in the cause" The parlors
were decorated with a prOfusion OF
roses, geranfums and hydrangeas:
equal suffrage banners, 6anked by a
silk flag, hung on the wall The equal

represents prOgress-Was also visible.
The Rev. Eugene II. St John, the
gifted woman preacher of Kansas City.

of the local association in a pleasant
speech. In acknowledging the cOmpli-
ment- Mrs. Addison directed attention

hold him up as a model Of everything
that is pure and noble and demand
proof that he is anything else. It is
asserted that a man does not betray
the people without a motive and the
fact is pointed that Mr.. Carlisle is a
poor man. Right here is a good point

pay for treachery in advance and not
necessarily in money Is not Mr.. Car

Now fix your boxes in place. Begin
by cementing with strong glue, the two
small pigeon holes at the bottom of
the bracket. These are formed from
the front Of the box you sawed in half.
Then to each of these at either side glue
a whole box in horizontal position. On
the top OF each pigeon-hole fix a box
perpendi cularly, and the three-quarter
boxes are glued one at each side Of these
perpendicular or upright boxes. The
little shelves which you see are made
from the ends of the boxes which were
taken off, and they must, of course,
be enameled black. A couple Of com
mon matches, painted and glued to the
SIDES of the box, viii support each lit
tie shelf. Should you find the glue Civ
ing little you can easily run small
nail or carpenters pin here and there
through the boxes. The supports are
best fixed to the wall with screws,
bored right through the back of each,
or you can attach gilt plates and screw
them thus to the wall. The effect is
pretty if you suspend a tiny fancy
china plate or saucer against the back
OF each support. When the bracket is
placed upon these holders, decorate it
with japanese or other knicl1-lnaeks
Of suitable height and size, and L am
sure your eye viii be pleased with the
result. IF the bracket is inclined to
lean little forward and you are not
quite sure as to its security, screw a
couple of brass plates to the upright
boxes, pass a narrow gilt chain or piece
of picture cord through the holes, and
attach this to a small hook driven into

SILVER COINED AND UNCOINED
Constant Reader sends the Journal
the following queries requesting an an

How much silver is there in a Mex
lean silver douar2
How much in an American silver dol

How much would each bring if

The Mexican silver dollar contains
1857 grains Of pure silver.
The American silver dollar contains
s745z grains Of pure silver.
The amount which each would bring
If melted varies from day to day. The
price of silver bullion auctuates as

bullion.
Constant Reader" VIII notice the ef-
feet of free coinage on the metal In
Mexico, where the mints are open to
silver it is worth as much uncoined as
coined. In the United States where the
minis are closed to silver it is worth but
about half as much uncoined as
coined. The fact that our dollar is
worth more than the Mexican dollar in
Mexico may seem to some to be an ar
gument against the single standard,
but Mexico is hourishing and prosper

exception of Japan which is also on a
silver basis. In both these countries
factories are going up, railroads are be-
ing built. new industries Of every kind
