improper motives in their action.
Farther than this the action of the
commission was approved in suit
before the Ramsey county district
court and this decision was affirmed
by the supreme court of the state.
The Legislature created the COM
mission which selected the location,
giving it full power to act, There
was no string tied to it's acts, no re-
view of it's work provided for, and
after what has been done for the
legislature to 60 forward in the face
of the result of the investigation it
ordered, and undo the work of the
commission, is setting a bad precedent
to say the least.
The views set forth by Gov. Clough
in his message accompanying the veto
are sound and should be needed by
the members of the house on Tuesday
when consideration is given the same.
The state has paid $4,000 for the
Anoka site and the citizens have con-
tributed $4,000 toward the same CIV
ing the state the benefit of $25, 900
site for three-fift that amount. The
location has been made in good faith,
and the legislature should abide by
the result and maintain the honor of
the state accordingly. The veto is a
sound one and should be sustained.

IT is an unusual thing in the Re-
publican politics of Mankato for a so.
called Republican to enter the con-
vention, take prominent part in it's
deliberations, and then turn about
and write up series OF paragraphs in
Democratic paper, of which he is
the local editor, calculated to stir up
strife and'factional bitterness within
the party for the avowed purpose of
defeating the ticket at the polls
which he assisted in nominating, as
was the case in Wednesdays conven-
tion. The candidate who did the lat
ter no doubt had to do so in order
to hold his job, but Republicans in
the future will very likely select dele

candidates through the columns of an
opposition paper. OF course there is
no truth in the stuff sent out about
Mr., Linder's friends "knif1ng" any
body. as the delegates elected in his
interest were not committed to any,
one else. All the candidates for
minor positions understood this fact.
The convention had good men to
choose from for all the offices, and the
selections simply fell to those most
popular with the delegates. That's
all there is to this nonsensical har-
rangue about "knifing" and turning
down."

1T is said that the decision of the
supreme court regarding the railway
combination, in which it was held
that the Sherman antitrust law
would cover all illegal combinations
and attempts at pooling, has also
shaken the coal trust and caused it to
tremble. If this is so, it will be good
news to the public and it is to be hop
ed that it will tremble to an extent
that it will shake down prices to a
point where they are more reasonable.
1t is claimed that the freight rates on
hard coal are higher than on any
com modify in the country and that
the rate is fixed by the combination.
1t is said that another combine to run
counter to the court decision is the
pooling arrangement between the
General Electric and the Westing-
house Electric companies.

a natural pride in securing the cleo
tiOn. And he will be elected, and
that by good comfortable margin if
the Republicans of the city but simply
do their duty. Every Republican can
vote for Mr.. Under, for he is free
from all political entanglements of
any nature whatever, and for the
same reason every good Democrat
actuated only by the desire to have
good city government can vote for
him, for Mr.. Under has no particular
motive to carry out, no ak to grind,
but desires only to give the city a
clean, wholesome administration
based upon such ideas as to business
as would guide citizen in the con-
duct of private affairs. This is what
the people want and this is what Mr..
Under as we'll his associates on THERE
publican ticket are in position to
carry out. And this is why every Re-
publican should make it his duty to
see that every Republican vote in the
city is polled for Mr. Under and the
Republican ticket.

men in every particular cannot be
found than those who make up the
Republican ticket.

THE HOSPITAL LOCATION VETO

Gov. Clough has rendered the state
a most valuable service in his veto of
the bill changing the location of the
fourth hospital for the insane from
-Anoka to Hastings. Doubtless it was
unfortunate that the commission

error of judgment and the legislative

THE REPUBLICAN ALDERMANIC
TICKET.

The Republicans have put in nomi-
nation for the municipal election, a
ticket that deserves the support of the
voters, and it's election ensures care
full handling of the business affairs of
the city that comes before the council
for consideration.
In the First ward John Adams, the
well known contractor, was nominated
for a second term. He has served up
on the council for the past two years,
and has taken close interest in all
matters coming before that body, and
has always insisted upon an economical
conduct of municipal affairs, though
his advice has not always been fol-
lowed. He has made the city good
alderman, and the experience he has
gained will render him a valuable
man for the next two years. He
should be returned.
In the Second ward the Republi-
cans have no candidate, but will unite
with the Democrats in the support of
Mich Petersen for another term.
In the Third ward Gus Widell is
the Republican nominee, and better
selection could not have been made.
Although the third is a Democratic
ward, there is every indication that
Mr.. Widell will be elected, and he will
bring to the council frst-class bust
ness qualifications coupled with past
experience upon that body, and will
give the city splendid service. While
the aldermanic fight will be hot one
in his ward, those who favor an
economical administration of city af
fairs should rally solidly to his support
especially as the election of Mr.. Under
for mayor is foregone conclusion,
and he should have proper and
friendly support in the council.
The nominee in the Fourth ward is
M. D. Fritz. Mr.. Fritz has been a
resident of the city for seven or eight
years, is property owner, and has
always taken an intelligent interest
in municipal affairs. He is young
man of good ability and experience in
business matters, and as alderman will
stand for clean, economical, bust
nesslike administration. With him
in the council the affairs of his ward
will receive most careful attention,
and the interests of the city at large
that earnest, intelligent support that
they demand. AS the Fourth ward is
strongly Republican, there is no ques-
tion as to his election.
In the Fifth ward Ed. Bradley was
renominated and will be reelected.
Mr.. Bradley has made one of the best
aldermen in the present council. He
has stood firm for sound, business
conduct of the city's affairs, and at
all times opposed all undue eXtrava-
gance in any direction. With wide
experience in city affairs Mr.. Bradley
will enter upon another term in the
council better equipped than ever for
good service to the city.
w. G. Briggs, the nominee in the
Sixth ward, is an old soldier and has
the qualifications for good alderman.
The Sixth is strongly Republican
ward, and his election is unquestioned
He will look well after It's interests, as
we'll as those of the whole city, and
his vote will always be found upon the
right side of all questions affecting
the city's interests.

pHARD WORDS FOR RHODES.
The Ex- Premier is Accused of Treach-
cry, BETRAYAL and DisloYaltY.

London, Aug. 5.-The South Ameri-
can policy of the British government
was subjected to an attack in the house
Of commons by Sir Wilfred Lawson,
Liberal, who also gave Cecil Rhodes
sharp prodding. Calling attention to
the attitude of the secretary of state,
Mr.. Chamberlain, towards South Afri-
ca, Sir sWilfred Lawson claSSed the lat
ter's policy as being dangerous and
destructive to our reputation abroad"
Referring to Cecil Rhodes, Sir Will
fred Lawson remarked that the eX-
premier of Cape Colony was guilty of
treachery, betrayal of his sovereign and
dis1Oyalty to his colleagues
COntinuing,Sir Wilfred explained that
Mr.. Rhodes guilt consisted lin falsely
dating a letter which was very like a
forgery, involving bloodshed, murder and
confusion in many parts of the world
Yet" added Sir Wilfred, 'all has
been endorsed by Mr.. Chamberlain,
who has placed the house of commons
in the degrading position of declaring
Mr.. Rhodes to be an honorable man,
thus making Great Britain the laugh
ing stock of all nations
Mr.. Chamberlain, in replying to Sir
Wilfred Lawson, declined to reopen
questions which were regarded as set
tied
He added: CAS- to submitting dis
putes with the Transvaal to arbitration,
it would be an extraordinary course to
submit to a foreign tribunal a dispute
between a sovereign and a subordinate
state"

Commissioner Carroll and County
Treasurer McAdams returned last
evening from Topeka, where they went
izatiOn to keep them from raising Sa-
line county's taxes too high, as is their
usual custom.
Having little spare time yesterday,
and having taken i'm Topeka, the
two Saline county men thought they
would go around and pay their respects
to Aunt Lucinda" an bid negress who
has sprung into fame in the last few
weeks as a healer" After some con-
sultation as to what ailments they
should have cured, McAdans decided it
was general run-downness in his case
but Carroll couldn't decide between
spinal meningitis and whooping cough.
After some difficulty they found the
old lady'S Shanty off in the northeast
edge of the city. There were about %
carriages waiting around by appoint
ment and an old darby attendant to
wait upon the visitors. He received
the Saline county men cordially and ex-
planned at length the wonderful cures
effected by Aunt Lucinda He used
a great variety of semi-technical terms
and his descriptions were somewhat lu-
dicrOuS. Every alternate day is set
apart for appointments to be made in
advance by patrons of the old lady. On
the other days a general scramble oc-
ours and first come, first served 1t
is on these days that the big crowds
occur.
AS yesterday was appointment day"
it soon became evident to Messrs. Car
roll and McAdams that they wouldn't
get a chance at Aunt Lucinda and
they had to leave without even a
glimpse of her.

THE AIR WAS TOO THIN.
w. F. Felts Was Unable to Fly From
Pixies Peak Without More Wings.

Colorado Springs, Aug. 5--Willis F
F'elts, who proposes to fly from the
summit Of Pixies Peak, is in a very fair
way to prove himself a second Darius
Green.
Felts went to the summit of Pixies
Peak Saturday and spent Monday af1
ternoon and yesterday in testing his
flying apparatus. He made several at
temptS to float upon the air, but each
time his theory was Jared by coming
in contact with a hard rock on the
summit of the peak. He accounts for
his inability to fly through the fact
of the small resistance of the air al
that altitude.
In the wings of his aeroplane he has
a surface of 125 square feet of canvas
exposed to the air. He claims that it
will require 200 square feet of canvas
to support his weight in the light at
moSphere at that altitude
F'elts descended about 1000 feet and
again tried his flying machine. The
resistance of the air was greater at
that point and more encouraging. He
descended still lower and at a point
about 1000 feet below the summit made
another trial.
The results of his efforts at that place
he says were highly gratifying to him,
and he feels confident of ultimate sue
cess.
Fe1ts will make the preliminary trial
next Saturday afternoon and proposes
to fly Saturday afternoon in the neigh
borhood of Colorado Springs, and pro-
poses to fly from Pixies Peak next Sun
