PoPULIsT CONVENTION.

Some forty or fifty POpulist dele
gates gathered in the Miller county
Court house yesterday in conven-
tion.
On motion Geo. W. Collins was
elected temporary chairman.
]. ]. Vogel moved to appoint one
delegate from each township and
ward as a committee on credentials.
The following names were selected:
Ward one no representative; Ward
two, Ben Brady; Ward three, ]. d.
Ingram; Ward four, S. A. Jackson;
Garland township, Willie Wilson;
Beech township, B. w. Kimbell;
Cleveland township, Joseph Tisdale;
Days Greek township, joel Robin
son, ,-Homan Lost Prairie, Red
River and Cut Of townships, no
representation.
The committee retired and while
absent, the delegates amused them
selves pulling the seed out of their
beard, until it was suggested to
them that there was man in the
audience who was dying to make a
speech, and he should be called up
on. Several whispered consulta-
tions were had to find out his name,
and when it was learned to be Nc
CarteY, of Mississippi, doctor Smith
raped order and the chairman
stated that an address would be
made by Mr.. McCartey of Mississip-
pi A gentleman came forward
who wore a swarthy complexion, a
sandy moustache, and little squir-
rel tail whiskers on the side of his
cheeks.
Mr.. McCartey said he was from
MissiSslppl-the state where the
Democrats had stolen the Populist
platform-that he was a talker and
could not tell half Of what he knew
inside of the limited time allowed
him, but he would do his best. Here
he told an anecdote Gt was not a
chaste one either and after he had
delivered himself of this, and made
au application, be 0ranched out in
a regular oration. He was cheered
several times.
The diOner hour coming on at
this point, the reporter thought
more of dinner than he did of a
Mississippi Populists argument, so
he adjourned until after the dinner

of the World, advertised a cut rate
In the Texarkana papers on last
Sunday, and they had many appli-
cations for membership and on
Thursday night ten new members
joined the camp, and 25 appIica-

The Philharmonic society met on
Friday night, to hear from com
mittees appointed at the last meet
ing in regard to picnic, but as
there was no reports coming in
from the committees, and all the
members Of these committees not
being present, it was thought ad-
vlsable to continue the same until
next Friday night, We hope to
have the pleasure of announcing a
gathering by the club soon and
have some vocal music, fer it is
really treat to hear them sing.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The committee reported on C"e-
dentials, and the convention was
regularly organi2eG, be}ore the re-
porter was in his seat, but learned
that the temporary chairman was
made permanent, and business pro-
ceeded.
Mr.. Vogel said the first order Of
business was to elect four delegates
to go Little Rock, as delegates tC
the State, Congressional and judi.
cial Convention, which viii all be
held in one. The delegates were
selected after manv had refused tc
be put on the LIST.
A motion then prevailed 20 &C
into nomination for county officers.
MI Vogel obiected-3aid he would
rather wait awhile until after the
Natloual convention.
He made several motions TO this
effect and they were all debated on,
by j. d, Ingram, Mr.. Deckar6, Tis-
dale, Collins and several gentlemen
whom the reporter did not know,
The speakers, most of them,
charged the Democrats with stuff
ing ballot boxes in order to keep
them out of Office, and that they
would not submit longer to the
wrongs doue them.
Mr., Vogel was quite severe on
the party that houored him ouce
by sending him to the legislature.
He said all the gang needed was
one hundred votes, and by the aid
of the machinery they would do the
balance.
Mr.. Ingram and Mr.. Deckard
were mild and made no charges of
corruption apalnst the party, but
on the other hand said if we get
beat let us return home in a peace
full manner, and at them again next
time.
There was a negro in the coven-
tiou aud he took his stand and af-
ter talking five minutes, the chair
man ruled him out Of order, and
told him to sit down,
At o'clock the original motion
to nominate county officers came up,
and 1t was again attempted to be
killed, but a vote was finally taken
and it was carried by a la-ge
majority. Here is the ticket
Sheriff j. b. Frost; District clerk,
Willie Wilson; Assessor, Newton
HUT; Treasurer, Joel Robinson;
County Judge, George Collins; Rep
resentative, George Deckard.
The ticket is made up of good
men and should the Democracy re.
ceive a Waterloo, which we do no
fear in the least, the men named
above would administer county af-
fairs to the best of their knowledge,

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

One of the events of week, among
the little people, was the celebra-
tion of his sixth birthday by Master
Jimmie Arthur McCann, on Mon
day afternoon He entertained
quite a number of his little friends
very handsomely.
Prof. Allen Winham, genial and
able principal of the East Side pub
ic school (now in vacatiOn) left last
afternoon for New Lewisville, where
he will open the Lafayette county
Normal tomorrow morning. He will
teach the Normal for thirty days.
Ed Mason, everybody's friend,
left for Horatio, Arkansas, with
his sample cases branded "O'Dwyer
& Ahern, on Friday, and will work
the road back toward Texdrkana
for orders. Mason never worked a
town yet without receiving orders.
The Populists invested a dollar in
an arc light last night, at the court
house, and many woe begone talks
were launched upon the air. We did
not hear them-in fact we are glad
we did not, for of all things tire
some a Populist speech takes the
cake.

ON WITH THE FIGHT
TURMOIL IN PROSPECT FOR THE
NEW GAME AND FISH COM
MISSION.
ALL RECORDS ARE WANTED,
AND LEGAL DEMAND WILL BE
MADE FOR AGENT ANDRUs'
HIS FRIEND FERRIS OUT NOW.
4 IL Believed That the Other Mem
bers Can Make Things Warm
for the EX-Agent.
HIS FRIEND FERRIS OUT NOW.

There is a prospect of a lively fight
sor the possession of the records of the
Did state game and fish commission,
which, instead of being in possession
IF the commission, are where not more
than one member of the board can get
at them. When the commission meets
again Feb. II, to organize with the
new member, G. S. Benson, of st. Cloud,
1t is entirely probable that more ag-
gressive action will be taken than has
hitherto been the case. Representa-
tive Ferris, the retired member has al
ways been 10th to believe aught against
his friends, and was very apathetic
when the proposition for an investiga-
lion was brought up. Mr.. Benson, it
Is believed, will not be opposed, even
negatively, to the most rigid inVesti-
cation, and it is deemed certain that
well inforced demand will be made
on the possessor of the books that
they be turned over to the commission
Or its secretary, Hon. Fred Won Baum
bach, of Alexandria, With these rec
Drds in it's possession, the commission
will be in position to explain many of
the apparent eccentricities which have
poeh ihiu at Tic uoor ol previous ad-
mln1strations, and it is possible that
scandalous disclosures may be made.
Executive Agent Fullerton, of the
commission, is in receipt of an offer
from Cobb, the commission man, to
compromise the case of James, who
WaS the Park Rapids end of the deal
broken up by a recent seizure. AS yet,
however, the proposition has not been
accepted, Mr. Fullerton, on the other
hand, declaring his intention to push
Cobb to the limit of the law in all cases
where the evidence is conclusive 1t
is believed in some quarters that he
is the chief Of the violators of the
law, and it is evidently on this the
DRY that the executive agent is work.

The Northern Pacific Clerk Passes
Away at Brainerd.

The news of the sudden death at the
Northern Pacic sanitarium at Brainerd
of Thomas Turnbull was received yes
terday afternoon, and proved quite a
shock to the relatives and friends OF
the young man in st. Paul. The young
man, who was employed in the office
of Tax Commissioner Fernald, Of the
Northern Pacific, was taken i'll early
in the week, and his friends, think
ing he was in for a siege of typhoid
fever, prevailed upon him to go to the
company's hospital, and he left the
city of Brainerd in charge of Conduc-
tor Quinn on Tuesday.
He grew worse, and finally developed
symptoms of pleuro pneumonia from
which malady he died A bare tele-
gram was received by E. F. Rice su-
perintendent of the Pullman Palace
Car company, whose brother-in-law the
young man was, announcing the lat
ters death.
The deceased was born in Muskegon,
He has until the last two years been
member of the Rice family, on Lau-
rel avenue, Mr.. Rice having brought
him up.
Two of his sisters live in the city,
and are Mrs. E. F. Rice and Mrs. H. c.
Drake. The remains will be brought
to st. Paul. and the funeral will take
place tomorrow afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock, from the Rice residence,
29O Laurel avenue, after which Mr..
Rice will take the body to Muskegon
for interment.

AN OLD TIME RELIC.
British Horse Pistol Presented to
Historical Society.

MAJ. William A. Jones, United States
army, in charge of the upper Mississ-
fppi reservoirs, has forwarded to the
Historical society an old British
smoothbore horse pistol dug up at
Sandy Lake, Aitkin county. The his
tory of that locality is of the very old
est in the state. The Mound Builders,
according to Brewers reports, opened
and maintained the great portage lead
ing from Lake Superior to the Miss
issippi. Copper mines were opened on
the south shore Of Lake Superior so
many centuries ago, by those people,
that the true date is not ascertainable
However, the copper implements and
tools made from the native ore and
used at Sandy Lake have been eXca-
waited and found to be in all stages Of
corrosion and decay, some entirely fall
en- apart by the act of time, while spears,
arrow points, knives, etc., of pounded
copper, have been found in a perfect
state Of preservation, indicating a more
modern, yet sufficiently ancient mold
ing. In 1859, when Groseilliers and
Radisson reached and crossed the Miss
isSippi. west or southwest from Mile
Laos, the Sioux Indians in force had
succeeded the Mound Builders. After
the Sioux had been driven out
by the Ojibways, Lieut.. Pike in 1S04-5
found the British at Sandy Lake and
reported all the circumstances. The
Northwestern Fur company also had
a post on the banks of the Mississippi
there, the old unearthed ends of the
stockade still remaining. By the pur-
chase of Louisiana, a very paying
stroke of business, ownership of the
entire upper Mississippi came into the
possession of the federal republic
and the construction of the reservoir
dams followed in regular order, and
the excavations at Sandy Lake I'M
covered from their long resting place
the relics Of bygone days, including the
old horse pistol which Maj. Jones says
was found in the bed Of the river far
below the surface, near the outlet of
the lake. The land marks of the
Mound Builders, of the Sioux, the
Ojibways, the British, the Northwest
ern Fur company are still plainly Wis
lble in that locality, where an igno-
rant, superstitious and poverty-stricken
indian poSllation still exists without
schools, without churches, and appar-
emily without hope or visible energy.
These are the results of the vicissitudes
of time, for the locality is one of the
garden spots of the state, isolated to
such an extent that it's redemption rests
with the building of the Superior canal
from the Great Lakes to the Mississ-
ippi
