name, and is considered a desperate
character. He is said to have shot an
officer to prevent an arrest, and nee
long ago he stood off an officer in
this town. There have been some
large hauls made by these outlaws.
The firm of Bahls. & Co. lost ovor
5000 pounds of timothy seed taken
from their warehouses here a few
nights ago. Almost every farmer
has lost flock of turkeys, and Jaa.
Lewis lost several hundred bushels of
oats and barley. It would seem that
this gang was about to be broken up,
and those who have not got out Of
the country will be made to answer
for at least some of their raids.
The following is from the Spirit
Lake Beacon:
The Beacon erred in one particular
in it's mention of the arrest and trial
of Lew Bennett, the Excelsior poul-
try thief, last week. Bennett was
tried before jury, convicted and
sentenced to 80 days in Jail. He
gave bonds in the sum of $3.50, and
appealed the case. He has since left
for parts unknown. Charles Bald
win, Earl Bennett and Ed. Davis were
arrested as members of the thievinR
gang that holds forth in that section,
and were convicted and sentenced to
80 days in Jail, and are now serving
their time. One Oldren is the only
person known to be connected with
this outfit who has escaped without
some punishment.
Wednesday Sheriff Anderson was
informed by wire from Dodge Center
that Floyd Yahn had been arrested.
The officer was reading notice from
the sheriff when he saw Yahn and
Immediately placed him under arrest
Deputy Sheriff Newton Fauskee went
after him, and brought him here
Thur day.
Yahn made confession implicat-
ing Fred Fake and Moses Baldwin,
who were Immediately arrested. The
trio was taken before Justice Hill
dreth Friday morning. Yahn plead
ed guilty to stealing the sheep from
G. A. Tillander and wheat from
Pfeferle. Moses Baldwin was
charged with being an accomplish in
the sheep deal, and Fake with being
an accomplish in the wheat business:
Baldwin pleaded not guilty. Fake
made no plea, but denied taking part
in any of the transactions. Each
was placed under $500 bonds to up.
pear before the grand jury, in defsult
of which they were all turned over tc
Sheriff Anderson.
This will probably end the thiev'
ing for time.

DEMOCRATS SURE TO WIN.


NaE tOEy LII ~ SPVfNtf w AF0s
Never did the chances of victory look
brighter for the Democratic party in the
Seventh ward than at present. With the
kick on in the Republican Ranks, the Dem
ocratic ticket should be elected by at least
two hundred majority. The Democratic
candidates will make a thorough canvass
of the ward this week and expect to bring
out a large vote on Election Day. The
candidates are all hustlers and confident
of victory. There will be two big Demo-
cratic meetings in that ward this week
them. The Seventh Ward Democratic
Club will hold a special meeting on We'd
nesday night, when the campaign plans
will be mapped out.
Other important matters pertaining to
Election Day will also be discussed. The
United Democratic I'll of the Seventh
ward will hold a ratification meeting next
Thursday evening. The committee in
charge met yesterday afternoon in the
New York Bay House and completed all
the arrangements. The hail is we'll adapt
ed for the purpose and at least 800 people
can be seated.
Among the speakers who will address
the meeting Observation-Disclosures John
Marnell, Allan Benny and James Muir
ply, Alderman Barr, Commissioners
Hsuck. Eugene Leake and Peter Ehr-
hart. The full Democratic ticket for the
Seventh ward is:-For Alderman, Peter

CALLED JADE HEARD FROM
(From the Evening Journal OF Satur-
day.1

(From the Evening Journal OF Satur-
day.)
In the dispatches from Trenton Gov
ernor Voorhees, is quoted as saying that
he is inclined to believe Mr.. McDer-
motifs point is we'll TAKEN" referring to
the contention that the Investigating
Committee became powerless with the ad-
journment of the Legislature.
IT was NOT Mr.. McDermott's point. in
the sense in which Governor VOORHEES,
makes it the disagreeable duty Of the
Journal to record some facts which he
might not nave had in mind when he
spoke.
Before the Legislature adjourned Chair
mai Gledhill and Speaker Watkins were
both informed of the danger to be antici-
pated from the very obstacle upon which
McDermott planted himself, and both
Watkins and Gledhil deelared:-"We have
seen the Governors; it is all right
Furthermore. Leon Albeit, at the time
he was Corporation Counsel in this city,
stopped a legislative investigation by en-
p1oying the same means, and the subject
therefore is new to no one familiar with
work of such inquiries.
In New York State. when the Lexow
Committee was continued after the adj
journment Of the Legislature, no such
difficulty was encountered, because the
Grand jury of New York county and its
foreman promptly indicted for contempt
at the request of the chairman of the
committee. 1t did not. nor did it's fore
man, appear before the committee and
encourage the witnesses 10 refuse to
answer questions.
Now the difference between the stu
alton in New York and Jersey City, is
easily explained. In New York State
there is a statute which provides that
Grand Juries shall indict witnesses who
are in contempt before legislative com
mittees, If the Legislature is not in SEES
sion at the time of the ~offense. In several
other States there is the same provision.
It's wisdom is apparent.
But aside from the adulation of Nc
Dermott for discovering this matter
and the natural cause for regret that the
destitute of this really useful measure,
we are concerned now solely with the
committee and Governor Voorhees,.
AS Gov. Voorhees, has the matter be
fore him, and has made a statement re-
garding the impression he received from
MeDermott. is it not time for some one
connected with the committee to explain
what was meant by the reply to the warn
ing described, I'VE have seen the Cover
nor; it is ALI right? If that matter had
ever been discussed with Governor Voor-
hees he certainly would have remembered
it, and his statement indicates other
wise.
No mater what the result of the confer
enee in Trenton next Tuesday. whether
or not the Governor calls the Legislature
together to do the only thing possible to
save the party from discredit, there are
two glaring facts in evidence at this stage
Of the business, one of which is tina there
has been bad faith or ignorant blunder-
ing, and the other that a most damaging
and discouraging blow has been struck at
the investigation, the effect of which will
be felt at every point even if the work is
resumed

'MINKS' PLAY POSSOM
II They Don't Support the Ticket
There Will Be Trouble
in the G. 0 P.

The Minkakwa Republican Club will
meet this evening and a star chamber
session is expected to be the result. The
Minks'' are playing possuln these days
and very few will discuss the coming
election. One thing that the followers
of the G. O.. p. are sore about is the fail
ure Of the County Committee 10 provide
for a ratification meeting to be held in
the Seventh ward. Those of the party
who express their opinions about the mat
ter do not care to nave their names made
public just at present, but many think
lat the 'Minks'' are to blame for it.
If the members of the M%inkakwa Club
fail to work for the ticket" said a very
prominent Republican, they viii break
all the rules of the harmony agreement.
Something decidedly interesting will hap
pen if such should be the case. 1t was
only after the hardest kind of work that
the Minks' and iLeaguers' were brought
together and it is very doubtful now If
the party has been benefited any by the
move. The Leaguers had nothing to lose
and all to gain when they entered into
that agreement, but you can depend that
if the Minks' do any funny business
this spring there will be trouble
This dissatisfied Republican went on to
say that he did not think the Republican
ticket would be elected in the Seventh
ward because of the lack of interest
taken in the campaign work. He is not
the only one disgruntled over the throw
ing of cold water on the ratification move
ment and many are the disagreeable
things said about certain Republicans.
The committee which was appointed by
the ward convention on March, IS has not
held a meeting yet to consider the plan
Of filling the vacancies left by the con-
v~ention, because the members realize the
fruitlessness of such a move. The COM
mittee is powerless to act n the only
way in which the Republican party can
fill the vacancies is to hold another con-
vention. This they will not do as no one
can be gotten to accept the positions,
which are those of Justices of the Peace
One of the candidates on the G. o. p
ticket said a few days ago that he did
not want a ratification meeting to be
held in the Seventh ward. Now it is
rumored around thai the Leaguers are
arranging for a mass meeting to be held
in Belvedere Hall on Saturday evening
next and that they are to pay for it out
Of their own pockets, in spite of the fact
that the County Committee is opposed to
it. Many interesting things are expected
to happen before election day, judging
from the present state of affairs in the
Republican ranks.

OFFICES GO BEGGING
No One Wants to Run on the
Republican Ticket in
Hoboken.

The Republicans in Hoboken are ex-
periencing considerable difficulty in find
ing men in their ranks who will sacrifice
themselves. AS a result nominations are
allowed to go begging and Democratic
candidates nave been endorsed to fill the
ticket.
When the campaign opened a faction
known as the Baldwin-Verdon faction or
ganized the Independent Republican AS
ISOLATION for the purpose of compelling
the regulars, or the Guisto faction, to
nominate straight ~out-and-out Republi-
cans for Office. The Guisto faction sur
prised the Baldwin-verdon faction by Civ
ing them everything they asked. When
the city convention was held the Guisto
faction nominated Aaron S. Baldwin for
Water Registrar, but he declined the
nomination. They then nominated d. J..
W~inkelmann, who was identified with the
Baldwin faction.
1t now appears that Winkelmann has
also declined the nomination and every
member of the Baldwin faction who was
approached did likewise. The Republican
Executive Committee was forced to nom
mate a Democrat for Water Registrar to
complete the ticket. At a meeting held
Saturday evening, Postmaster James Cur
ran, Who was a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination and was defeated by
Water Registrar Henry Lohmann, Jr.,
was nominated. Curran is also running
as an Independent candidate.
The Fifth Ward Republican convention
has made three attempts to find a Repub-
Iican who will accept the nomination for
Councilman. Joel H. Woodman, who
was nominated last Friday evening, an
nouneed on Saturday that he would be
Unable to accept owing to his business.
The convention met Saturday evening
and tried hard to induce several Republic
cans to accept the nomination, but none
could be found. 1t is now probable that
Councilman George H. Steil, the Demo-
cratic candidate will be endorsed SO that
the ward ticket can be completed.
The Fourth Ward Republican conven-
ton met Saturday evening and nominate
ed Councilman Harry Snyder, a Demo-
crat, who is running as an indepealdant
candidate for Councilman. Charles Bot
Ter was nominated, but he refused to ac-
cept, and several other Republicans fol-
lowed his example.
The First Ward Republicans have nomi-
mated Hugo Ochs for Councilman. Ochs
is d Democrat, and received the Demo-
cratic nomination at the primaries. He
win now nave no opposition.
The Second Ward Republicans endorsed
Charles Schultze, Democrat, for Councils
man. and placed Frank Pritchard, Re-
publican, on the ticket with him as q
running mate.
The Republicans conceded thai the
party is demoralized and that men who
