REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE
CONVENTION.

GrindeIand State Senator. -McCoIlom
and Sjoberg Representatives.
The Republican Legislative conven-
ton for the district composing the
counties of Marshall, Kittson and
Roseau, was held pursuant to call, at
Hallock yesterday. The convention
was called to order by J. G. Brinker-
hoff, of Stephen, chairman of the leg
islative committee. Owing to the ru-
mored presence of contesting dele
tgations from the counties of Marshall
and Roseau, it wis agreed to let
Kittson county Organize the conven-
ton, which was done by the election
of E. A. Nelson, of Eallock, as tenn
porary chairman and ]. A. Noyes, of
st. Vincent, as temporary secretary.
The usual committees on permanent
organization, credentials aud resolu-
tions were appointed, after which the
convention adjourned to l: 80 p. m.
When the convention again assem-
bled the committee on organization
reported in favor of making the tenn
porary organization permanent. The
committee on credentials reported the
names of the delegates entitled to
seats in the convention. No contest
ing delegations appeared. The reso-
lutions prepared by the chosen COM
mittee we're read by: P:H. Konzen
and adopted. A short recess was TAX
en- to allow the delegates to confer
with one another. When the conven-
ton was called to order again it pro-
ceeded to nominate a Legislative tick
ct. The name of A. Grindeland was
presented for state senator by D.
Robertson, of Argyle, and there be-
ing no further noninations his nomi-
nation was made unanimous by ac-
clamation. Kittson county present.
ed the name of c. J. McCOllum, of
Hallock, for representative, and his
nomination was made unanimous by
acc]amation. Roseau county pre-
sented the name OF h. J. Bell for the
second representative, but before a
vote was taken some OF the delegates
from the other counties objected.
Mr.. Bell being a new recruit in the
party coupled with the fact that as
prosecuting attorney in Roseau
county he unavoidably has made
some enemies, and for these reasons,
we presume, it was thought that his
candidacy would be hampered, and
that consequently he was not an
available candidate. All recognized
his great ability and fitness for the
office. The Roseau delegation stood
loyalty by him and would not listen
to the idea Of selecting another CAN
didate:, Finally: "a delegate, arose
land. presented, the name OF Israel
Sjoberg, Of Roseau, which nomina-
tion was rapidly seconded by several
delegates and the motion put and
passed before Mr.. Sjoberg, who was
one of the Roseau county delegation,
had time to interpose his objection.
}, "A committee was appointed to no.
tify the absent nominees and escort
them to the platform, and they brisf-
ly thanked the convention for the
confidence shown in nominating them
for these responsible positions, and
pledging themselves if elected to dis
charge the duties faithfully to the
people, and to do all in their power
to advance the interests of this die

tent and had our supper, someone went
poking around in the ashes 1--WE are camp
ed in ashes) and within little way of
our tent was found the charred body
of woman, buried in the ruins.
when we stopped for dinner yester-
day, when we were on the march, some
of US went out to little creek for water,
and | sat down on little open spot OPP
posite pile of fresh dirt, under a cocoa
nut tree. thought | saw something sus-
picious projecting out of the dirt and, on
examination, found it to be the body of
dead Spainard that was hardly cold.
He had been killed by an insurgent and
little dirt thrown over him. This is
the way they fight. You will meet them
in ones, twos and threes any place scout
ing in the woods. The descriptions you
have read so often of the sufferings of
these people are not exaggerated in the
least. They are ragged and live on any
thing they can find in the dense thicket.
After seeing what have of the suffering
of these poor people, and the treachery
of the enemy, | am ready to stay here a
lifetime if necessary to help gain them
their well deserved liberty and help
avenge our own wrongs. You cannot inn
agine what it is, and / cannot describe
it, / saw sight this morning that fair
ly made me sick. | could not imagine
anything worse. In one of the novels
here, the Cubans have a prisoner, who
stole a horse and deserted the army.
After being gone seven months, he was
captured and his sentence is this: To
eat part of the horse he stole, after be-
ing dried in the sun, and to remain 60
days with his feet in stocks and his body
on a hard board After 90 days, he is to
be killed. / saw him this morning, the
meat lying on some leaves by his side. 1t

IL don't know as you can read this let
ter, but have nothing but blanket to
write on. You will not hear from me
soon again, but will write soon as | can.
There are great many cases of measles
in our camp.

as soon as we take Santiago, if / am not
among the unlucky. If / am, / will go
in good cause"

says:
Report just came in from the 24th in
fantry that they hadan engagement with
the devils last night, after we left, and
that they had buried 206 in one trench.
No loss of life on our side. Give us time
and we will have them all trenched.

terrible place to fight. You cannot see
three feet ahead of you hardly any time.
We ran across three and fired on them.

The Ring Mountains of the Moon.

The moon is really and truly great
planet of mountains, It's whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations Of
curious shapes and Of extraordinary
height. We say Its whole visible sur
face" and hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because the
eye Of man has never seen but one side
Of the surface of the moon. What we
see convinces us that the little planet is
extremely mountainous, for on the
lend" exposed to our view there are no
less than 80, 600 peaks, varying in
height from 1000 feet to 4 miles
When we consider the fact that this IL
marian world Is only one thirty second
part as large as the earth we can easily
see why it deserves the title Of the
planet Of great mountains. There is
peculiar thing about these 1000
moon peaks. Each and every one Of
them has a ringlike form, the open end
of the conical point being of greater or
lesser diameter, according to the height
of the mountain. In low grade tele-
scope these peaks resemble true volca-
noes, but when viewed through a high
grade glass it is seen that the depres-
sion in the center of the queer ring
mountain" is often so great as to be be-
low the general level Of the surrounding
country. The depth of these depressions
is calculated in curious manner-by
figuring on the relative shadows they
cast when the sun is shining full upon
them. The diameter of these ring
mountains" varies greatly, some of the
larger ones being 30, 100 or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through a good tele-
scope. st. Louis Republic.
