DIVIDED IN MINNESOTA.
Gold Standard Men Will Control Only
Eight Delegates to Chicago.

St Paul, June 0.-The sound money
Democrats find themselves probably
beaten in the fight for the control of
the State convention, which meets on
Thursday to name eighteen delegates
to Chicago. Thirteen counties elected
delegates Saturday and several of them
went unexpectedly for silver. The
convention will have 822 delegates. Of
those named 358 are for free silver and
352 for gold. The Minneapolis conven-
ton called for To-day, will name 112
delegates and settle the State conyen-
ton. The fight there is a close one,
and both sides are claiming a victory.
The impression is general tonight
that the State will send to Chicago
eight gold standard men and ten free
siNerites.

Mr.. Hanna's list, therefore, gives on

An almost sensational stand against
the policy of the Mckinley men to rule
with a rod of iron, and force the NOM
inafion on the first ballot, was taken
today by Chauncey |. Fllley, the

had summoned Richard G. kerens, ms

Rich Hill, where he formerly resided, and of

The Senior looked somewhat terri
fed.
II can't talk to another fellows pa

"Come on" said the Sophomore.
They're sitting down."
The Senior and the Sophomore
rushed to the door of the dining-room,
and then entered quietly and decorous-
ly. The Freshman was proudly ex-
planning the arrangements to his
mother.
The Senior slipped quietly into bis
seat. The Right End took up the carv-
ing knife and paused, obviously embar-
raised. He was preparing to ask her
what part of the roast she preferred,
and was suffering under fire of whis-
pered remarks from the Junior, who
sat next to him, on the best manner of
doing it, The Freshman's mother WON
dered what made him so red in the face.
Don't you think this pretty towing

The Senior realized with pang that
the remarks he had prepared on the
subject were of no use. He searched
wildly and Intellectually for another
idea.

prise. He had heard the conversation
at the other table.
"Conditionally passed. he said.
What time does your train leave2"
His mother did not notice him.
HE called me up and threw the first
chapter at me-" said the Sophomore.
"We'd been quizzed on it once"
{ "It's mean trick" said the leader.
81 wasn't expecting it," snid the
Sophomore, sand it rather foored me
at first. But saw what he was about
and let him have it pretty straight.
Then he hit me with other parts of the
book, but I'd got my feet under me, and
before we got through l had knocked his
eye out"
The Freshman's mother started.
She appeared shocked, and glanced COW
estly at the Sophomore with much the
same look that she would have turned
on noted criminal: Her face took
on an appearance of settled displeasure.
The white-suited walters stepped
back. The right end looked question
ingly around the table and rose. .-
Would you like to see my room?"
said the Freshman. =
His mother followed him up the stairs.
In the den" they found the Sophomore
adding. the finishing touches to his
preparations. He went brayely through
the ordeal OF an introduction and then
fed. He closed the door behind him
and stood in the hall a full minute
looking at it.
"She'd freeze an Esquimau," he said
to himself.
The Freshman's mother inspected the
brass bedsteads and the acknowledged
table without discovering the ini9ui-
ties that they concealed, but the cloud
did not lift from her face. She drew
a chair up to the fire and sat down.
81 am afraid that this college is a
! wild place." she said rather anxiously.
The Freshman glanced quickly about
the room to see what evidence had been
left uncovered. Save for q corner of
a yellowAbacked novel protruding from
behind the book shelves, he could find
none. ..
"It seems" said his mother, shat
there has been disturbance fight
between the ,light-haired young man
who just left the room and one of the
professors"
81 hadn't heard of it" said the Fresh
man. He was obviously oppressed with
fear that he might have missed some
thing.
II heard him describing it at the
table," said his mother. II cannot say
that the professor was wholly blame
less, for he threw book at the young
man, but the young man should not
have struck him"
The Freshman was picture of per-
plexity
II think that perhaps 1t would be
better for you to leave an institution
where such things occur" said his
mother
The Freshman became picture of
grief.
"No institution where such disgrace
full scenes are common can be of benefit

His eyes wandered lazily over the room,
and rested on the long-stemmed pipes
ornamental but not useful-the flaring
field day notices, the photographs and
the strings of programmes which Gov
cred the walls. The CRATE fire flick
cred and snapped and was reflected red
ly in the mirror opposite. From the
next room came the sound of some one
laboriously picking at mandolin, Win
frequent pauses for consideration, and
sharp jangles when the players feel
ings got the better of him. But the
Sophomore was thinking of none OF
these things. He had heard the pre-
paratory rattle of plates which her
aided dinner, and after deciding that it
was too near dinner time to work had
settled himself with pleasant feeling
of virtuous idleness to listen for the
clang of the gong which he knew
should follow.
The old house shook gently, as an an
nouncement that some heavy-footed
person was coming upstairs three steps
at a time. Then the Freshman opened
the door and tossed a pile of books on to
the table.
Mothers here he announced,
shortly.
The Sophomore looked up in sur
prise.
.'She was going through and stopped
off to see how am fixed" the Fresh
man explained.
The Sophomore took his feet from
the table and Strengthened up to sur
vey the room.
SIS she coming up here?" he asked.
The Freshman nodded. After din
ner," he added.
SIS She" the Sophomore began,
doubtfully.
Somewhat" said the Freshman.
The Sophomore arose and took two
highly-decorated beer mugs from the
mantel. With one in each hand he dis
appeared in the closet. He returned
empty-handed. He opened the drawer
of the table and swept into it an inter-
esting collection of pipes and deck of
cards.
perhaps it's not necessary" he said,
"but it's as we'll to be on the safe side.
Put the cover on the tobacco jar. She'll

He tossed a clothes brush to the
Freshman, and while the Freshman
used it to sweep the accumulation OF
tobacco ashes upon the carpet into
neat pile beside the CRATE he busted
himself with replacing certain light
minded literature scattered here and
there about the room, with works on
"Conics" and psychology which he
fished out from under the bed. Then
ne examined the room critically.
Bring her along" he said.
The Freshman pointed to pile of
dirty collars which ornamented one
end of the dresser. The Sophomore
swept them onto the floor and kicked
them under the bed. .-..,

remarked sententiously, '.but conceal
