K. 7. RYKkEN FOR COUNTY
TREASURER.

kittel T. Rykken, who has been
placed on the Peoples ticket for the
Office Of treasurer, is one OF the old
respected citizens in town of Dovre
He came to kandiyohi county in 1870,
and during his long stay in the county
has made friends OF all with whom he
has associated. Hehas been reelected
town clerk of his town for fourteen
years, Of late years without any op-
position whatever. He also occupies
other minor positions of trust, which
testify to the confidence reposed in
him by his fellow-citizens. Mr.. Ryk-
ken is very favorably known in all the
communities of the county where his
nationality (Norwegian) predomi-
mates, and we predict his election by a
snug majority. Mr.. Rykken is quail
fed for the Office and deserving man.
His election to the Office of county
treasurer would be an honor to Kandi-
yohi county.

FRYE FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY

We call the attention Of our readers
to the card elsewhere of the law firm
of Oiney 4 Frye, and especially in
connection with the fact that MIR. Frye
is the Peoples Party candidate for
county attorney. When Mr.. Frye Sc
cured the nomination at the conven-
ton be felt that having been out Of
practice Il few years, he would hardly
feel like starting in to law practice
again without some law partner in ac-
tive practice.
But now having formed law part
nership with Mr.. Olncy, MIR. Frye feels
that he is with the assistance Of Mr..
Olney fully competent to fill the Office
of county attorney and therefore is
actively in the field for his election.
Let everybody understan nd that Mr..
P. H. Frye is a thoroughly educated
lawyer and admitted to practice law
before several state supreme courts.
For Il few years past he has mainly
devoted himself to farming, he being
one of the most successful and pro-
gressive farmers in this part of the
state. For some time past MIR. Frye
has contemplated to move to town and
open a law Office. We need not dis
guise the fact that his candidacy has
been instrumental in Fastening this
move. The fact is, public sentiment
shared by republicans as we'll as pop
ulists demanded that the Peoples Par
ty put up a candidate for county at
torney in any event. The people Of
Kandiyohi county are sick unto death
of this little lawyers Office revolving
combine Of simply changing places so
often, yet keeping Office forever.
Besides there is coming big law
suits on the county in the near future
about who shall pay for the Foot Lake
dump. The county wants a lawyer
who is not an attorney Of these Foot
Lake bridge schemers.
The Peoples Party therefore present.
Atty. ?. 81. Frye as the man for coun-
ty attorney. The firm OF Olney & Frye
is a strong one, and the affairs of the
county needs to be looked after just
now by honest and competent lawyers
Be sure to vote for P. II. Frye for
county attorney.

TO FORTIFY DRY T0RIUGAS.
An Important Conference in Secretary of Wars
 Office.

Washington, March 21.-An important conference was held in the office of the secretary of war today in regard to the fortifcation of Tortugas harbor. There were present Secretary Alger, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, of the navy; Gen. Miles, Gen. Wilson, chief of engineers, and Col H. M. Robert, corps of engineers. The last named officer was stationed on the Florida district for many years in charge of river and harbor works and Notifications and his advice is important as to the details involved in the establishment of a coaling station at Tortugas and the constructions of Qualifications and harbor defenses.
 A troublesome question has arisen in connection with the proposed system of works at Tortugas. The engineer officers who have been Investigating the matter estimate that it will cost about $1000,000 and require nearly two years to put the island in proper state of defense from sea attack and Secretary Alger and his associates hesitate to embark on an under taking of that extent unless the navy de- partment considers the work absolutely necessary. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, representing Secretary Long, was not pre- pared to assume the responsibility with out further consultation with the naval officers specially interested in the estab- lishment of coaling station and definite action was postponed in order to give him an opportunity to investigate the matter further and report as to the advisability of the proposed engineering works at this outpost of the United States

Reed naturally attracted much atten- tion as he seldom leaves the congressional sphere to make. calls on the executive branch, and it was naturally inferred that the purpose of his visit was to confer upon the Cuban situation and it's future before congress, though neither he nor MT. Hit was communicative. Secretary Long also had an extended conference with the pres ident but so far as it could be learned it developed nothing additional relating to the Spanish question.
 The army and navy preparations are continuing without Interruption, although they have now become so regular as to lapse into routine on a gigantic scale. No further purchases of war ships were con cluded today, and the negotiations are not assuming a promising aspect, except in showing that the United States can con- mand the market as against Spain.
 The ordnance office of the war depart nlent presented a very busy scene today when bids were opened for furnishing the department about 1,600 cast iron projectiles for sea coast cannon, with which to man the Notifications. The advertisement called for 1S7 ten inch soMd shot, BIO twelve inch mortar shells, weighing 800 pounds each, and 800 twelve inch mortar shells weighing 1000 pounds each. There were an untIsu ally large number of firms who bid for the con-
  to furnish the projectfles showed a wide range.
 So far as figures are concerned the Peters burg (Va) iron works, were the lowest bid ders, although there may be other condi- tions existing which under certain condi tfons might prevent them from getting the contract. The company offered to supply the ten inch shot at s12.66 each one-half to be delivered in forty days and the remain der in seventy days The twelve inch shells of 800 and 1000 pounds each the company bid to furnish at S and $23.s7, respect ively offering to supply fifty of each kind in forty days and the remainder at quick intervals
 The ten finch shot the Rome (N. Y.) ma- chine works offered to supply at s146 each, to begin the delivery in one week and they agreed to turn over the entire amount in four weeks.
 The battleship Texas started northward from Key West today, thus settling the question as to the formati tion of another squadron at or near Hampton Boards. It is expected the Massachusetts will follow in a few days, but the final order for that move has not been made.
 The navy department received a prelim- mary report on the Maine affair today from one of it's agents who is at Havana watch ing the proceeding of the work. It is un- derstood that his refers mainly to the tech nical work of salvage, and not to the ques- ton of cause. The judge advocate generals office, where the report was received, will not disclose the details of the report.

 a UNDERWAY IN THIS. S.C0UNTRY Press Censor Given Strict Orders About News Going Either Way and the POpu- lace Is Entirely at the
 Mercy of Rumors
UNDERWAY IN THIS COUNTRY

New York, March 22--A dispatch to the World from Madrid says:
 Instructions have been given since Fri day night to the press censors to stop all foreign and domestic press teIegrams-and even telephone messages-containing news unpalatable to the government. Unauthor- ized details of naval and military prepa- rations, movements of war vessels, par ticularly the flying squadron, of, the pur- chase of vessels of war and stores abroad are especially interdicted.
 Heretofore no step had been taken to prevent the Madrid press from publishing frequent and abundant information. The same press censor will also stop telegrams sent from Madrid to the newspapers In America England and France when they contain news which Is deemed likely to create alarm
 At Mercy of Rumors
 Therefore the people are now at the mercy of the rumors propagated by word of mouth and the post, which Is much worse.
 Fl Liberal says that on Sunday several hundred messages by telephone and tee graph were stopped by the press censor in Madrid. The governments action mas caused a profound sensation, not only Tn Madrid but throughout the provinces. Even the ministerial newspaper, the Liberal sides with the majority or the press in censuring vigorously measure which 1t says is calculated to increase the national anxiety because most people sur mise that the relations between Spain and the United States have got into a very critical stage indeed when a liberal cabinet commences to be more rigorous with the press than was Canovas, and worse than the reactionary cabinet of 1884 and 1885

By slight majority, Eugene Fies was last night elected president of the Phoenix club and the exciting contest for that of- flee was brought to a close. The vote was Fies, 42; Lebolt, S7.
 Considerable rivalry has been stirred up over this election. At the time for the regular election last Monday night the vote stood S9 to 39, so that the election was put off for one week. During this time there has been a deal of canvassing and club politics have played conspicuous part.
 But MT. Fies has won and the contest is over and he will continue to hold the office of president

CLAIM ABSOLUTE
 INNOCENCE
 EENUtHEBu H6EIH The Defense Has Its First Day in the Carter Court Martial.

Savannah Ga, March M.-The defense in the Carter court martial began the presen- tation of It's case today. At the outset A. J. Rose, one of Capt. Carter's attorneys, asked permission of the court to make a summarized statement of what the defense expected to prove. He occupied the atten- tion of the court for more than an hour. outlining the defense in full.
 It would be shown, he said, that the office methods, the methods of advertising, fur nishing specifications and information pur- sued by Capt. Carter were not in violation of the law and were in accordance with the regular practice when he came here. It would be shown that all materials used were in accordance with the specifications. The alleged intimacy with Capt. Greene was not denied, but 1t was stated there were reasons why Capt. Carter had a right to be intimate with Capt. Greene, which would be shown. The letters between them he said, were all personal, and there was nothing wrong in them. It would be fur ther shown that Capt. Carter never had anything to do with the Empire Construc- tion company, the stock book of which was found among his private papers It would be shown that if the contract, as inter- preted by Capt. Gillette, had been followed it would have cost the government s1 ,000 900 more on the Savannah river work. It would be further shown that the money Capt. Carter handled was the money of his father-in-law, R. w. Westcott, of New York.
 If Captain Carter spent money lavfshly as claimed, it was nobody's business so long as he did not get 1t from the govern ment or otherwise dishonestly. It would be further shown, he said, that Captain Garter knew nothing about the signature of his name by M. W. Connolly and others, so they could have nothing to do with the case. The charges of leaving his post with out permission and others of a minor na- ture would be refuted.
 B. F. Finney, an expert, was the first witness called He was put up to dis prove the statements of the prosecution with reference to specific gravity. The prosecution interpreted as weight of a given substance and not in its chemical sense.
 MT. Gegore Y. Wisner, a civil engineer of thirty three years experience and a mem Der of the deep waterways commission testified on many technical engineering points sustaining Captain Carter's work and office practice, and showing that there had been by actual measurement only 2fO yards of brush washed on the beach at Hilton Head from the breakwater, whereas witness Hale testified there were So,00o
