Commissioners of Election,

The attention of the voter Is called to the
election notices which appear this week.
They have been prepared by the Commits
sloners with great care, and no election
notices have been nearer in accord with the
requirements of the law. The Commission
ers were chosen because of their fitness for
the position and they have entered upon an
intelligent discharge OF their duties. Their
advertisements might be an aid to otner
commissioners who might feel disposed 10
excuse themselves from the labor Of prepar-
ing such notices.

THE COTTON CROP.
Cheerful Outlook for Activity In

The good cotton crop and the good prices
with other favorable circumstances make the
outlook for the Winter trade most encourag.
ing.
The crop OF cotton, estimated at about an
average crop. at from ten to twelve dollars
advance on the bale will give our people q
much larger result than was expected.
Our farmers planted for four or five cent
cotton and we're careful about incurring deot.
They were also impressed as to the necessity
of a good corn crop, and nearly every farmer
planted corn. and in many instances the
crop is abundant.
With corn in the crib. small debts TO meet,
high price for good cotton crop Will

THE ORE OUTPUT.
That frcm the Lake Superior Iron
District will be About ! H.
100000 Tons.

Marquette, Mich, June 6.-[Special.1
The early-Summer uncertainty aff1ict
ing other trades is causing inquietude in
the iron and steel industries. The pros
porous season which was forecasted
from the busy ending of the season of
1885 may yet be realized, but the pros
poets cannot be called so hopeful as they
were considered at the beginning of the
year. The production of iron and steel
VIII be large, but scarcely up to the gen
orally accepted estimate of few months
ago, and the eminent trade authorities
which predicted an output of 13.000.-
OOO TO 10000. 600 tons of ore for 1896
will be very apt to find the actual pro-
ductlOn 11,O00,a00 to 100000 tons.
One advantage reaped by the ore pro-
ducers from the present unsettled condi-
ton OF the market has been the reduc-
ton of freight rates. which have shown
signs OF great weakness. From present
indications the mining companies will
be able to obtain very reasonable lake
1relghtS on their entire output for the
year. though as usual October and No
Vember charters will command high pre-
mlums, as there is always q certain
amount OF business, even in the dullest
seasons, which is held till the last posi-
ole moment and pays extra freights in
consequence.
The reputed intention of Andrew Car
negle to break the Bessemer ore pool
may be founded upon fact. and it may
not. Some seven years ago when there
was no o-e pool Mr.. Carnegie endeav-
ored to secure cheaper ore by holding
out for lower prices and inducing other
large interests to do the same. The con-
Germs pressed for ore were supplied from
large stock which Carnegie had laid
in the previous fall in anticipation of a
siege, but the effort to break prices
proved Intellectual and the mines were
ena bled to get their own figures. 1t will
not be possible for the Carnegie or other
interests, no matter how powerful. to
secure Bessemer ore under the figures
decided upon in April by the pool except
from mines controlled by the furnace
owners, as is the case with number of
properties producing high grade ores.

4 VETO MESSAGE.
He Objects to Certain APP
preparations.

Washington, D. c., June 6.-The Pres
ident today sent to the House of Repre-
sentatives a message accompanying a
veto of the general deficiency appropria-
ton bill. The message includes a de-
Tense of the exercise of the veto power
and a long criticism of the French spoil
alton claims, aggregating over $1,000,
600, and also an objection to payment
of the Chouteau claim for STA, 445 arts
ing out of the construction of the iron
clad steam battery Elijah.
Chairman Cannon OF the House COM
mittee on appropriations has deficiency
bill prepared with the claims objected
to by the President eliminated. AS soon
as the veto OF the deficiency bill is sus-
tanned, which he anticipated, he will i'm
mediately move the consideration of the
new bill. 1t is believed the new bin can
pass immediately

Several Lives Lost in ClOudburStS
Hundreds of Cattle Are
Drowned,

st. Paul. Mimi, June S.--The great
storm which swept over Southwestern
Minnesota Saturday night resulted in
the loss of several lives, the drowning
of many hundreds of sheep, cattle and
hogs and did damage to property 20 the
extent of over 100000
Among those who lost their lives are
j. w. CattersOn Of Ash Greek, r. w.
Hunter. Adrian; George Andrews of
Sahula and H. [. Bulod of Murray
county. III Of these were drowned dur
ing cloudbursts. two of these having
struck that section between 8 and IL
p. N.
The greatest damage was in Rock
county, the most southwestern county of
the state The rain fell in such torrents
that the Rock river overfOwed its banks
and drowned livestock by the hundreds
before they could get to the high ground.
In the region of Luverne the river was
in places three miles wide. The water
rushed into Luverne at such a rate that
business houses were flooded many feet
deep and their contents ruined. To add
to the horrors of the situation calls for
help were heard at midnight from all
along the river. A rescuing party was
organized and set afioat. but the swift
current upset it and the party narrowly
escaped with their lives. A second party
was sent away as soon as possible and
ABOUT twenty people rescued. II IS not
yet known whethera anybody was drowned
at Luverne. Many of those taken off
were found OH housetops and in trees.
Thousands of acres of crops were
washed out and entirely destroyed.
Many Luverne buildings were shattered
by lightning and hundreds OF feet Of the
Burlington and the Omaha tracks were
washed away at Adrian, Worthington,
Hastings, Bird Island and Tracy.
At Vigil, S. D., a warehouse contain
ing several thousand bushels of grain
was blown down, together with the De
lay house and other buildings. Ten
thousand acres of grain were destroyed
in South Dakota.
The storm damage in this city Satur-
day night was severe. the city railway
being the principal sufferer. About one
mile of the interurban line between the
two cities were SO badly damaged as
entirely to stop street railway business
until Sunday. Poles and wires were
blown down and knocked out by the
electricity causing the blockade For
seven blocks all the wires and iron poles
We're completely destroyed by a bolt of
lightning, the accident being most pc
culiar.

FRED LAWRENCE'S TESTIMONY.
How Americans Are Treated in Cuba
The Competitor Incident

Washington, D. c.. June 6-The testi-
mony of Frederick w. Lawrence taken
before the subcommittee of the Senate
committee on foreign relations on MAY
= in regard to the situation in Cuba. has
been made public. Mr.. Lawrence stated
that he had gone to Cuba as a news
paper correspondent, he had found it
impossible 70 secure much information
from the Spanish authorities. and that
he learned afterwards that what was
given out was untrue. Speaking of the
Imprisonment of Walter Dygert, he said :
Il found Mr.. Dygert imprisoned at
Guines in a little cell in which there
were two other men. The room was
very small and was simply filthy The
people with him were the dirtiest men |
ever looked upon and | have been in a
great many American prisons"
Referring to the trial of Laborde and
Milton, captured on board the Compet-
itor, Mr.. Lawrence said that neither the
prosecution nor the defense asked any
questions; that five were tried at once,
and that the trial which resulted in the
sentence of death, lasted less than
day. Mr.. Lawrence said that there was
an interpreter present, but he did not
make his presence known to the prison
ers until they were asked whether they
had anything to say in their own de-
Tense. The evidence was given in Span
ish and not translated in their hearing.
