The Coming Convention:

The different unions are taking great
interest in the coming state convention
to be held at Winona in June. A big
delegation will 60 from Duluth. larger
than ever before. Every organization
will undoubtedly send one delegate at
least. The convention, heretofore. has
always been held on Sunday and been
in session but one day; and a long day
at that, often continuing long after mid
night. this year the convention will be
called to order by President Collins on
Saturday morning, June 18th, and con-
tinue two days. This is as it should be-.
Important matters will not have to be
hurried through without due delibera-
ton and ample discussion.
Much work will come before the dele
gates owing tc the fact that the conven'
ton has not met for year; formerly it
has been customary to meet every six
months. This new order of things went
into effect at the last meeting held at
st. Cloud last June. There will, OF
course, be lot of work prepared for the
legislative committee to attend to this
winter at the state capital. There will
be many new unions represented, for
the work of organization has gone on
amazingly all over the state the past
year and the most of it, by the way, has
been done by Duluth organizers. Take
it all around this will be one Of the best
attended and most important labor con-
ventlons yet held in the state.

LIFE INSU RANCE
Cannot Be Collected Upon Policies
Held by a Man Who, While Sane
Commits Suicide.

Washington, D. c.. January Il
In the United States Supreme Court 10
day Jusllce Harlan handed down ah
opinion in the case of Fl. Howard MI
ter. executor OF VIM. NJ. Runk, VS.. Ihe
Mutual Life Insurance Company Oh
New York, involving the question q
whether the heirs Of man VINO coh-
mits suicide when in sound nina can
recover an insurance pollcy. Inc
court held tina. they could not.
1t appears from the facts stated that
Mr.. hunk. a resident of Philadelphia
committed suicide within less than a
year after increasing his insurance 70
the extent Of 100000, making an ag-
sregate insurance Of $500,CO0 upon MS
life Of the 100000 the New York
company carried $4,000, which 1t re-
fused to pay on the ground that Runk
was sane when he took his life. 1t
was shown in the trial court that he
had written a letter the day before his
death, stating that it was his purpose
to put an end to his life and that his
life insurance money could be collected
for the payment of his debts.

HOW ABOUT WHEAT THIS YEAR?

Extraordinary crop conditions at
home and abroad last year brought
prosperity to many farmers who had
large crops and sold them to advan-
tage; but what about the future
about 1898? livery thoughtful mind
Las easily placed the real cause for
the great increase Of the price OF
wheat and the consequent great gain
to our producers who had it to sell
last year. Thinking persons do not
make the error of counting on wheat
in 1898 to save the financial credit OF
this country as it did in 1897. They
know that the conditions Of 1897 are
not more likely to be repeated in 1898
than we are TO have a tropical winter
in Wheeling at once.
Let us look at this question Of
wheat fairly. 1t matters little what
the wheat gamblers and combinations
do with the crop Of 1897 which they
still have in their hands unsOld; the
farmers have had the full benefit of
good prices, and their crop of 1892
has passed from their hands. In the
first place. an enormous and unprece-
dented acreage of wheat has been put
into shape for 1898 by our farmers.
They have actually drilled in their
corr fields with wheat over vast sec
tions of the west and northwest in
addition to their regular planting areas
of 1897 Nothing short of a universal
drought next June and July will cut
US from an immense wheat crop next
summer The chances now of third
consecutive season of Olighting
drought in Australia, of fourth such
season over India, of a second season
of ruin to the Argentine republic
fields, and of a third short season in
Russia and the Balkans. and another
chances of such a combination to help
our farmers are exceedingly remote.
But unless this combination of dire
disaster to those countries above men
toned does take place wheat will be
more likely to be worth less than 40
cents a bushel next fall than so cents
as it is to-day for the producer. Does
any sensible person who looks for
ward to the real prosperity Of our
country in 1898 fail to note the gravity
of this probable cheap market for our
farmers? If he does. he will have a
sharp awakening to unpleasant music.
We know, pretty well. what answer
to the tired and discouraged wheat
growers of our country will be made
then by the politicians who are now
telling them how the election of Nc
kinley raised the price of wheat.
We can hear the gamblers in Wall
street and in wheat pits of Chicago,
St. Louis. San Francisco and Duluth
all in chorus with the cry OF "overpro-
1uction, why did you put in so much"
The troubles and misfortunes of
other nations than our own form an
insecure foundation on which to build
national prosperity.

This offering forms fitting climax
to the succession Of Jacket bargains
we've given this season. 1t concerns
three items only. but they're the
best three values Of the year.
Any one OF these Velvet Jackets would
find ready sale at $4,000, for they're as
handsome and stylish as any woman

trimmed with jet and braid and they re
lined throughout with heavy satin. But
we secured them at about One-third be-
low the usual cost and you can buy
them at the same reduction, for our price
is .S19.75
Here's an excellent Jacket of black
kersey that is just as good value. It's
made with double breasted front with
the French dip, round or square corners

didlv tailored and it's lined throughout
with plain or fancy silk. .$12.5O
The other item Of this matchless trio
is black kersey Jacket at 1888. Made

storm collar, and its lined with satin
