GETTING REPLIES.
Gold Democratic Committee Has 100
Favoring Third Ticket.

raNOrinS iniru ticket.
The list of State conventions is swelling
to keep pace with the National events
and the probabilities now are that the
Democratic boilers OF Rhode Island Will
call a State convention some time this
month TO elect delegates to the National
convention OF boiters that is to be held
at Indianapolis September 2.
The State convention will of course be
called by the emergency committee OF
which Mr. Arnold Green is chairman and
Councilman Bullock secretary. This
committee is now awaiting replies to the
circulars sent out recently to test the ex-
tent OF the boiling sentiment throug hout
the State. about 100 answers have been
of the writers to have another Democratic
candidate for President in favor of the
gold standard.
Delegate Charles G. Mumford has re-
turned from the preliminary conference
at indianapolis. He says that the key
note of the whole situation, as ex-
pressed in every speech made at the con-
ference, is the defeat of Bryan without
voting for Mckinley. That is to split the
Bryan vote by another Democratic ticket
in the field aud reuder the cause of the
silyerites hopeless.
Mr.Mumford says that the second Dem
ocratic ticket will probably be Bragg
and Buckner. General Bragg, who is
named for first place, is of Wisconsin,
aad was chosen chairman OF the
committee which called the conference.
Colonel Buckner, the aspirsnt for Sec
ond place, is from Kentucky.

It's SCOrChing Work.
Additional Deaths and Pros
tratiOnS Reported.
Mercury Is as High Today as at the
Same Time Yesterday.

There are times when weather jokes
are apvopos, but not now. When the
rays OF the sun beat relontlessly down
and man and beast languish and sicken;
when business is paralyzed; when every
hour Iengthens the list OF sunstroke VIC
Tins, jokes are out OF place.
Ever oince last Friday the weather has
continued torrid and sticky, humid and
un bearabie, and with no prospect of re-
lief 10 strengthen despondent mortals.
Yesterday was the most uncomfortable
and alarming day on record. The mercury
reached 80 at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
and from that time on 1t gradually de-
scended slowly and almost imperceptably
to suffering parboiled humanity until at
O'Clock this morning it registered "a
IL. How deliciously cool 1t seemed In
contrast with the trying night. Windows
were thrown open and scantily clad peo-
pie leaned forth enjoying the pure morn
ing air while ii lasted. Ere long, how
ever, the sun again ascended in the clood-
less heaven and another day of suffering
and n jsery was begun. 1t is needless
describing the doings OF the day. It's
an old story now.
Since The News went TO press yester-
dey the following fatalities have &C.
Cured:

city.
G. l.. PATTI, aged 81 years, expired at 2
O'Clock this morning at his home, 81
Battey street. Patti had been i'll for some
time, but the immediate cause of his
death was the excessive heat.

This afternoon a slight breeze offered
some relief and to degree cooled off
the atmosphere, but as TO any prospects
of cooler weather nothing can as yet tie
assured. Even the weather powers in
Washington promise only slightly cooler
weather tomorrow evening.
The range of the official therirometer

" Another inhumaa crime has been COM
mltted and net far from the borders of
New Ulm either.
Sunday noon while Thos. Faith and
Henry Schwer were rowing ~ boat down
the Minnesota river about half "a
mile below the central bridge, the
latter noticed a small hand protruding
above the water. He called his compan-
ions attention to what he had seen, hut
was only laughed at. He insisted, how
ever that he Was right, and urged Faith
to row over to the place in question.
And sure enough, there was the hand of
an infant. With a fishing spear they
raised the object in the water and it
proved to be the lifeless body of a babe
wrapped IN the fragments of woman's
petticoat. Tied to it also were two
stones weighing about twelve pounds
each. They at once took the bundle to
shore, halfway between the bridge and
the old bathing place, and one of them
went for the marshal, When MIR. Helm
en- arrived he opened the cloth in which
the body was wrapped and found to his
horror that the head had been discovered
just above the shoulders. He judged
the infant to be from one to five days
old and does not think it could have
been in the water for any great length
Of time.
He sent for physician and as Dr..
Fritsche was on the road to Lafayette he
was called to the scene of the discovery.
The doctor made hurried examination
and suggested that the body and cover
ing just as found he taken to the hospi-
tai, which was done.
The Nicollet county coroner was wired
for and arrived Sunday night at a late
hour, bit after finding that the body was
no longer in Nicollet county he declared
that it was not a case within his jur1sdic-
ton.
The Brown County commissioners then
instructed DR.. Fritsche, Attorney Davis
and Marshal Heinen to make an exami-
nation and then have the child buried,
which they did.
DR.. Fritsche is of the opinion that the
body must have been in the water over
week, as decomposition had already
set in. The head, he does not think,
showed any signs of having been cut off.
It was mostly missing but as the result
of decay.

Petty Business,

The Union has discovered another
lady-or rather another lady has dis
covered the Union-who failed to re-
ceive a certain letter directed to her
as quickly as she thinks she should
have. As in the former case referred
to the Union is equally vague in the
present instance. It describes the
complaining lady as "residing in
the.central part OF the city, north of
Eleventh avenue" There are sew
eral hundred families living within
the territory indicated - which is
without any definite limits-and it is
hardly to be expected that the post
Office authorities could discover this
particular person, even il the at
tempt was made. But Of course the
Union and those who burden it with
their complaints in regard to the
local mail service, do not desire to
have any irregularities which may
exist corrected, or delays in delivery
Of any particular mail matter inves-
tigated. They simply want to snarl
and ape an affected wisdom about
matters regarding which they are
not familiar.
