Wolf Harvest.

The wolf harvest in Polk county is
fairly on, and during the past week the
county auditor has paid bounty on 20.
The animals are for the most part cubs
and the capture generally included an
entire litter: In the eastern portion of
the county these animals were very
troublesome during the latter Fart of
the winter, and became so bold that
they frequently carried off sheep,
calves and poultry in considerable
numbers. In several instances they
were successful in worrying deer until
the animals were compelled to make a
stand and fight them, when they al
ways conquered through force of num-

Big Entertainment.

The most stupendous undertaking
ever attempted in Minneapolis in the
line of public entertainment will be
brought to contamination at the Ex-
position building the first week of next
September. Not only have assurances
been given that half dozen of the
greatest orators, theologians and poll
ticians will appear on specified even
ings at the Exposition, but small
army OF the crack bicycle riders of the
world, large tribe of Indians from a
neighboring reservation, as we'll as
American cowboys, famous athletes,
and, what is more, the first thorough
and complete display of home manu-
facturers ever attempted in the city.
In the latter no goods will be permit
ted except those manufactured in the
state, and it will be an open index to
the surprising manufacturing resources
OF the community. The Exposition
building can be so fitted with power
and shafts as to run all kinds of ma
chinery that would tend to show to ad-
vantage the exact process by which
such goods are made.

Disappointment.

John Seberger committed suicide at
his residence in st. Cloud by shooting
himself through the head. He was a
candidate for appointment on the po-
lice force, and the mayor did not see
fit to name him. He worried so much
over the disappointment that his mind
was temporarily deranged. When
found the revolver was still smoking
in one hand, and letter addressed to
the mayor in the other, in which he
was accused of failure to keep his
promise. He also severely denounced
him. The mayor claims he never
agreed to appoint him. Seberger was
46 years old, married, temperate, and
we'll liked.

The Bryanites or the calamity
howelrs, who have been 80 busy
trying to find something out of the
late war, that would reflect on the
presant administration. They have
not much faith in their old cry of
16 to I, it does not take we'll with
the people, henceforth we shall hear
from the calamity prophets on the
ultimate destiny of the Philippines,
of which they know so little about,
they think if they can get hold of
something that they can not under
stand, the people will not under
stand it. Ultimate destiny will
sound we'll and man with no more
knowledge than the average calamity
howlcr, can look very wise while
talking about it, but the work of the
present administration will command
the attention of the people, who for
the most part, if not SO wise as the
prophets are far moro practical in
their ideas. The entire record of
the Fifty fifth Congress is satisfac-
tory, even the best democrats are
glad the Dingley law took the place
of the Wilson law and that our mon
etary system has not been disturbed.
To-day the American people are
looking beyond the howles of the
calamity prophets. They are in a
mood to give cordial welcome to
all the new opportunities which are
opening up before US, and with the
ballot we will win another great vic
tory and we will retain all the natio-
nal prizes won by the bravery of
our navy and army.

REPUBLICAN, STATE
CONTENTION.

1t was Quite Enthusiastic and
the Key Note of the Cam
paign was Sounded by Con-
gressman Lacy.
The Republicans of Iowa wended
their way this week across the state
to one corner, and that the North
east, at Dubuque. The crowd was
not SO large as it would have been,
had the convention been held some
place in Central Iowa. This one
thing shows how foolish it is to al
low one man or a small committee to
select the place Of holding State con-
ventions. The meeting was held
Thursday in Saegerbund Hall.
Hon. ]. F. Lacy, the gallant Con-
gresham, from the Sixth District,
was made temporary chairman and
delivered a very able republican
speech speech, sounding the key
note of the campaign. After pre-
liminary work, the convention pro-
ceded to the nomination of state Of
fcers, which resulted as follows:
Secretary of State, George O.
Dobson was re-nominated; also
John Herriott for Treasurer. .Tht n
H. E. Deemer was re-nomiaated for
judge of Supreme court; as was C..
7. Jones for clerk of Supreme court
and B. I. Salinger for Supreme
court reporter. Then Milton Rem
ley was re-nominated for Attorney
General; Frank F. Merriam for
Auditor; Senator D. ]. Palmer for
Railroad Commissioner, for short
term, was nominated by acclima-
ton, and Welcome Mowry Of Tama
county for full term.
