ANTI=LIND.
Middle Of the Road Delegates
Elected Last Light.
Mankato POpulists are Anti.FusiOn and
Favor Chris. johnson for
Governor.

The Populists Of Mankato held q
mass caucusThursday evening to elect
eight delegates to the county conven-
tion which met at Good Thunder
Tuesday to select delegates to
the state convention. The latter
meets June 18th to nominate a state
ticket. The caucus was fairly well
attended, and was presided over by
II. S. Eldred. The following dele
gates were selected: First ward,
Nate Brooks; Second ward, Thos.
Strong, Adam Klughertz; Third ward,
T. M. Currier; Fourth ward, II. J.
Kuhn; Fifth ward, G. L. King, A. M.
Morrison; Sixth ward, ]. S. Burwell.
The delegates we're not instructed,
but all but one or two Of them are
known as middle of-the-road" Popu-
lists, which is term used this year
to distinguish that section Of the
party which is not in favor of endors-
ing the Democratic platform or can
didate who stands solely on that plat
form.
Considerable discussion was had at
the caucus as to what position to take,
and the sentiment was largely against
the endorsement of John Lind if he
accepts the Democratic platform. In
other words, the Mankato Populists
seem to be anti, fusion. They are very
friendly to the interests Of DR.. Chris
Johnson, editor of the Willmar
Tribune, who is prominently men,
toned in connection with the nomi-
nation.
The congressional convention has
not yet been called, but there was a
good deal of talk at the caucus in IA
vor of David Evans, of Tracy, for con-
gress.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Lucius Headley nee Angie Combs
Is called to Rest.

Mrs. Lucius Headley, who will be
remembered by large circle of young
people in Mankato as Miss Angeline
Combs, died at her home in Herman
Mimi, Friday morning.
The news of the young lady's death
was received in this city that night,
and caused much sorrow among those
of her acquaintance. Her brother,
Mr.. w. S. Combs, received the sad in
telligence by wire, and Immediately
left for Herman to be present at the
obsequies of his only sister.
Mrs. Headley graduated from the
Mankato State Normal school last
June. She Immediately thereafter
left for the home of her parents at
Collinsville, Ills, short distance
from st. Louis, where she remained
until her marriage in August. With
her husband she went to Herman,
where Mr.. Headley had secured the
principalship of the village schools.
The cause of death is not known.
1t is assumed that it must have been
sudden because of the fact that none
of her friends here knew anything
about her illness.
Mrs. Headley, while we do not
know her exact age, was hardly TWEEN
ty-one years old while attending
school here. She endeared herself to
everybody with whom she came in
contact. She was possessed of most
lovely and lovable disposition, moth
ing ever occurred to mar her happy,
cheerful nature, and those about her
were always made to feel the inspira-
tion of her confiding ways.
For the dear old father and mother
who have thus suddenly been bereft
of an only and idolized daughter, and
for the brothers, whose pride she
always was, the deepest sympath y
prevails.

FROM CAMP THOMAS.
Letter from a Mankato Boy in the
Volunteers.

Gen. Pope has received the follow
ing interesting letter from his son,
who joined the New Ulm company,
and which he permits us to publish.
The letter has been in our possession
for several days, but we have been un-
able to use it until now, but it will be
found none the less readable:
CAMP THOMAS, May 20, 1898.
DEAR FATHER l am. Just
took swim in Chickamauga creek,
$50 yards below Alexander's bridge.
The park is full of monuments and
the different battle grounds are
marked out. There is nothing left of
the old Alexander house but the brick
chimney which stood at the back end
of the house.
OF all the tired boys you ever saw,
I think l was one of them when we
arrived in Chattanooga yesterday at
five in the morning, We lay on the

into Georgia. Had we waited another
day our train could have been taken
within three miles of the camp, but
the officers thought we were tough
enough to stand it, so we took a ten
mic march without any dinner.
We arrived here about six o'clock,
to lind that we had eight tents to the
company, so we rolled up in oul
blankets and slept under the stars
1t seems the car carrying most of the
tents was switched off somewhere
along the road.
The march was a hard one after
travelling so far and not having had
anything to eat since six in the morn.

After we arrived here we went in

ADULTERATED VINEGAR.
w. w. Phalen Gets Into Trouble With
the State.

the State.
On complaint of S. NJ. Sweet, of St.
Paul, deputy food inspector, W. w.
Phalen. the South Front street grocer,
was arrested Friday afternoon on the
charge of having sold on the 9th to
E. B. Williams, another official con-
nected with the state board, one-half
gallon of vinegar as cider vinegar,
"the said vinegar not having been
made from apple cider and not con-
tanning two per cent by weight of
cider vinegar solids upon full evapora-
tion over boiling water, and said vine
gar containing a quantity of artificial
coloring matter"
Mr.. Phalen secured the services of
A. r. Pfau Jr., and waived the read
ing of the warrant and entered a plea
of not guilty. His trial was set for
June goth and he was allowed to 60
on his own recognizance in the sum of
800.
Mr.. West claims that he had noti-
fed Mr.. Phalen not to sell this vine
gar but that the latter had persisted
In doing so, closing the original cask
and turning the vinegar into another.
Mr.. Phalen states that he purchased
barrel Of Alden apple cider vinegar
last winter. which was highly repre-
sented to him by a travelling
man with whom he was well
acquainted. Afterwards Mr.. West
called and took sample of the vine
gar. returning in few weeks and re-
porting that the analysis showed
that the vinegar was adulterated,
aud directing him not to sell
any more. Mr.. Phalen states that he
complied with this and closed up the
cask and has it yet. Mr.. West was in
town again last week and sent an
other man to Mr.. Phalen. This
other man, who was Mr.. Williams,
purchased some vinegar from another
cask, and the analysis showed that it
was also adulterated. The sarrest
then followed. Mr.. Phalen disclaims
having knowingly and Intentionally
sold adulterated goods.
Mr.. West was after two other
grocers, but these disposed of the
vinegar complained of, and no prose
cutions will result.

Heavy Decline in the Stock Market.
 New York, Feb. 21.-To-day's heavy decline in the market was made, with out any actual new development in the situation, but was rather to be attribut- ed to a combination of impressions which have been the underlying force in speculation for week or more. To- days market demonstrated for one thing that last weeks declines would have been much heavier on the devel- opment in the Cuban question had it not been for the support of powerful interests who desired an opportunity to realize. The entire absence of SUD- port gave color to the supposition that those interests had completed their liquidations and were indifferent to the course of the market The mo- tives assigned for the selling had less apparent basis in fact than were furn- ished by the events of last week.

AM-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
 The first boxing match to be given at the new Music hall will be held un- der the auspices of the New Haven Athletic club The star attractions will be the fifteen-round go between Casper Leon and George Munro for the bantam-w weight championship of the world. The men are now in train ing for the event and 1t will be one of the best things of the kind that has ever taken place in this city.
 Black Griffo of Cincinnati and Tom my Butler of Brooklyn, who also meet at the New Haven Athletic club, should put up a fast contest. They are sched- uled to box ten rounds, and as they once before fought a draw, 1t will be seen they are evenly matched. The weights for this contest-195 pounds are the same as when the men came to- gether before.
 Black Griffo recently fought Jack Downey to standstill, and that per formance caused many people who had previous regarded him as a novice to change their opinion He is now look ed upon as man who will soon be in the first class of his weight. Tommy Butler has been sweeping everything before him this season. Upon the re- suit of his meeting with Griffo depends his chance of getting go with the top notchers. The other bout is ten rounds between Paul Kelly and Benny Leon The referee of the contest will be the we'll known sporting editor Sam Aus tin

There was large and appreciative to witness the drama Sweet Laven- der' as presented by the Caps and Bells society and those who braved the storm were more than pleased with the play. The various roles were sustained in a manner that was quite creditable to the members of the society, who took part and all are deserving of praise for their efficiency and display of dramatic talent.
 The heavy rain of the past two days has raised the water in the Quinnipiac river to a high point and within less than a foot of the high water record of last July.

The meadows along side of the river from Yalesville to North Haven are all flooded, and the water continues to rise every hour.

 A notable event in the history of Winchester lodge, No. 20S, New Eng land Order of Protection, was the cele bration of the fifth anniversary of the organization of the lodge, last night. It was held in the Odd Fellows build ing. Charles H. Griffith. chairman of the entertainment committee. and his assistants determined to make the af- fair the most largely attended and en- joyable ever had by the lodge and their efforts were Indeed crowned with suc- cess. Over 200 people were present, who represented the families and close friends of the members of Winchester lodge.

far as they turned on the Cuban question they dealt with speculation on possible future events and on abstruse points of international law without any convincing authority to back them. Ap- prehensions growing out of the rate war for passenger business between the Canadian Pacific and our own transcontinental lines had more sub stantisl basis, though soothing sug- gestion was offered that profits and dividends were not largely dependent upon passenger business anyhow. There seemd to be no realizing sense that this suggestion was inconsistent with the large advances which had been forced In the prices of securities on hopes of Klondike traffic The great snowstorm in the west Is also factor of real importance, both by reason of the interruption to railroad traffic and the possible damage to crops. What ever the real motive it was beyond dis pute that there were large offerings of securities for which there was no ade- l quate demand and selling orders to stop losses were uncovered on the de- scending scale. Declines were so great | that prices that looked attractive as | bargains were reached in many cases and the buying thus invited thus stead | led prices and worked some notable re- coveries. This process was repeated several times during the day and the market closed with one of the rallies in full force, thus leaving the net de- clines decidedly smaller than the ex- treme declines during the day. In the cases of Sugar and Metropolitan Street railway, this recovery was between two and three points, and Third avenue made an extraordinary rally of twelve l points in the final dealings after an l earlier loss of eight points. The local 1 and industrial specialties were the se- | verest sufferers by the early decline | and the grangers also were notably l affected by reason of the storm. New York Central reflected a marked llqui- dation of recent speculative buying. Manhattan was one of the chief suffer CTS and after fall of 45s, rallied 1A
 Metropolitan Street railway was points off at the lowest. A feature of the day was the marking up of call loans to 1% per cent in accordance with the reduction in the surplus re- serve. The local market paid no atten- tion to the firmer tone on foreign ex- changes due to the subsistence of ap- prehension over the West African sit
 uation, which was regarded with sucf acute misgivings on the local exchange
 on Saturday. London was buyer or
 balance in the New York market to- i day.
 The course of the bond market was
 strictly in accordance with stocks
 both on the declines and on the rallies
 Losses at one time were from to
 per cent. in many leading bonds. Tota
 sales, $4 100000.
