SECRET is OUT.

f. Olivia, Renville county, has organized a
military company in time of profound peace
There is but little prospect of war with
Spain, none whatever with Japan, and Eng

Herculean arms carry them over to

panteth for those vault doors like the
hart panteth for the water brook, and
even the liquids of Dionysius are un-
able to satisfy it's longings.
And this is why the militia was or

Sam as Ell Captain, are being drilled
for the fray. The time is not far dis

their belts, shoulder their muskets,
and respond to their Captains call.

bitter and provoking. Ell Captain is

Fusion between the Populists and
Democrats seems to be a thing of the
past. Populist leaders are everywhere
expressing their disgust with the un-
certain attitude of the Democrats on
all national issues. Not only are large
numbers of Democrats in every State
where there is campaign this fall re-
fusing to accede to the demand fol-
the support of the Chicago platform
and its doctrines, but large number
of Democrats in Congress are aban-
doning the free trade theory and sup
porting high protection.

President Mckinley has appointed
John Goodnow consul general to

the appointment might not be con-

who we're hired to stir up dissatisfac-

and riot in the cities last fall are now
being sent through the country dis
tricts for the same purpose. They
travel in .gaudily painted wagons,
bearing false or misleading quotations
from distinguished men, which are
distorted into apparent support of the
free coinage of silver, which is now
worth less than one-halt what it was
when these utterances are alleged to
have been made. To conceal their
real purposes these men profess to be

publication, with which is furnished a

untruthful and misleading, but pur-

are placed. This attempt to distrib-
ute the seeds of distrust, anarchism
and riot in the agricultural communi-
ties for the purely selfish purpose OF
making a market for the property OF
silver mine owners and placing a few
politicians in office deserves the con-
tempt of those upon whom it is being
imposed.

It is pleasure to read a great daily
newspaper like The New York Sun.
As newspaper it stands out distinct

kind and no equal in it's class. No
better evidence of this has appeared
than in The Suns report of the Queens
Jubilee parade, when that great paper
had cabled to it nearly two pages of
the most accurate news concerning the
samoa feat that outdid all competi-
tors. Its report of the Harvard-Yale-

ahead of all other reports.

Plea for Payment of Damages to Cam

HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 2S.-The Bering
Sea Commission met again to-day. Hon.
+. G. Peters, wto occupied the whole ses-
sion yesterday continued his address. He
followed the same grounds as taken by him
yesterday in regard to the loss of the seal
from prospective catches He claimed
that as the United States had taken the
stand during the German convention that
prospective damage should be awarded,
that to-day the same contention by the
Canadian counsel should be supported. He
pointed out that the United States authori-
ties claimed prospective damage on behalf
of the United States at time when num-
ber of Americans seining in Fortune bay
were prevented from fishing by mob of
natives. and that an award was made in
view of the fact that big catch
was prevented by the action of
the assailants. He further claimed
that damages should be made for

the sealers, inasmuch as there had been in

1t has been found at this port that this

satisfactorily proved false. Passengers MAX

who had in her trunks several presumably

EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
Clothes Worn by the slayer of I'll. FL.
Kay Found on Pixies Peak.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Aug. 2S.-A
young man discovered bundle of blood
stained underclothing and flannel neglgee
shirt in a. crevice in the rock just below
the Cog road track and about five hundred
feet above the Manitou * Pixies Peak Rail
road depot The front of the shirt and the
lower part of the underclothing were sat
urated with blood. The clothes are believed
TO belong to the men who murdered Her
bert II. Kay, and are in every detail the
description of the clothes which John b.
Edmunds was known to have been wearing
when he was last seen in this city few
DAYS prior to the murder. The bloodstains
are accounted for by the supposition that
the murderer held the body in his arms,
the head against his breast and the feet
trailing on the ground, when he dragged
it to the culvert where ii was found. Kay
was struck in the back of the head and
the nature of the stain on these clothes is
exactly that which might be expected from
handling a man bleeding from such a
wound.
