DAVID H EVANS
David H Evans was nominated by
the Peoples party Second district con-
gressicnal convention, held in the city
Of Mankato Sept. 8, and was afterwards
nominated by the Democratic congress
sional committee.
Mr.. Evans is a successful business
man at Tracy, Lyon county, where he
has been since 1879. While well and
favorably known in business centers
of the state, Mr.. Evans Is a compare
tive stranger in political circles, hence
this short sketch of him may not be
out Of place here.
David H. Evans was born in Utica,
N. Y, in 1852. Five years later he
went to Blue Earth county with his
parents, who located at South Bend,
where his father engaged in black
sn,ithing and farming. His parents liv-
ed in South Bend township all through
the trying days incident to the early
history of the county, including the
trOublCus times connected with the In
dian war of 1852 In the country's de-
Tense Mr.. Evans father took a promi-
nent part.
When sixteen years of age David H.
went to Utica, N Y, to attend school
and fit himself for business. On his re-
turn he entered a hardware store in
Mankato, where he thoroughly learned
the business, and, in 1879, after the viii
1age of Tracy was first laid out, he
moved to that place, then mere ham,
let, to engage in the hardware trade.
There he began in a small way and by
close attention to all the details Of his
business now enjoys a lucrative trade
in which he has the confidence and es-
TEEN of all. Mr. Evans has been promi-
nently identified with every movement
tending to advance the best interests
of his home town, having contributed
freely of both money and energy to
make Tracy what it is today, one Of
the most important and progressive
cities in the western part Of the state.
Mr. Evans was twice elected mayor
OF Tracy on the reform ticket by
large majority, while the rest of the
ticket was defeated two to one, thus
displaying in a very emphatic manner
the confidence reposed in the candidate
for congressman by his neighbors and
friends, those knowing him best, ire

POOR PAY FOR TOLL.

Statistics Tell Why Coal Miners Try
Desperately to Better Their Lot.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The masses of statistics in the report
Of state officials are not inviting to
the general reader, but some of the
figures in the report of the state mine
inspector just published are sugges-
tive.
From the returns made 20 the office
1t is gathered that the average time
worked in 1897 was 1907 days, or less
than half the number of working days
in the year. The average daily wages
during the time worked was $1.27. but
taking the year through the average
amount actually received was but SIG
per month, which was nearly $3.50 per
month less than was received in either
Of the two preceding years.
The lower average in 1897 was due to
the long strike caused by the endeavor
of the miners to get better pay While
there was a partial advantage gained
In the rate Of pay, there VISA an actual
loss in the amount received.
Taking the rate of the two years pre-
ceding, when the average monthly
earning was $1847, it will be seen that
the return to the working miner for
his hard toll was miserably poor, and
It is not to be wondered at that ha
should make desperate efforts to better
his lot. But the Ohio miner is, as q
rule, in better condition than his Penn
sylvania fellow laborer in the coal
mines.

T. J. CATION
L. j. Cation is in his thirty-siXth year.
He was born in Ohio, and is the son
OF farmer. He worked on a farm
till he was thirteen years of age, when
he taught his first term of school The
next ten years was devoted to attend
Ing college and teaching. He began
the study of law in Ohio about fifteen
years ago, and was admitted to the
bar in the summer of 1886. He prac-
ticed law as a member of the firm OF
Reddy d Cation, Decatur, ILL.,, for near
ly year, when he moved to Chicago,
as clerk for Judge w. c. Larned His
health failing, he went into Northern
Michigan for a time, and later spent
year at Decatur teaching in a COL
leSe. From there he moved to Mime
apolis to engage in the practice of law,
but shortly after his arrival decided
to open commercial school instead,
which business he has since followed.
During tie past ten years he has in
slructed upwards of $500 young men
and women, and about 1000 graduates
Of his school are holding situations in

CHARLES A. TOWNE.
Hon. Charles A. Towne, of Duluth,
the candidate for congress Of the Dem

cans Of the Sixth Minnesota district,
was member OF the Fifty-fourth con-
gress, being elected as q Republican
and receiving a plurality of over 5000
votes and majority of about $500 of
all the votes cast. His speech made
in the house OF representatives Feb.
8, 1895, for its elegance Of diction, force
OF logic and arguments fortified with
facts and illustrations, at once made
him famous and placed him in the front
rank as an orator and statesman
He then realized that the Shermans,
Reeds and AllisonS of the Republican
party had already pledged the future
services of the party to the great mo-
nopolfeS and trusts, and that, although
young in years and in the service, the
promptings of his nature compelled
him to speak for the honest millions
Of the party against the perffdious de-
livery to monopoly of the party that
with it's first breath uttered the word

Of his party soon taught Mr. Towne
that to be an American citizen was not
synonymous with being a Republican
and that the path of duty to his coun-
try might lie. outside of the pale of
his party. He went to the st. Louis
convention and continued his labors to
the last to save his party, but when
the Republican national convention
went astray. Mr.. Towne withdrew
from the convention. In 1896 he re-
ceived the unanimous nomination for
congress of the Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans Of his district.
The great combinations and monop
olists feared Mr. Towne. and unlimit
ed money was furnished the Republi-
can committee, which was charged to
defeat his elections at any cost The
candidate opposed to Mr.. Towne was
Page Morris, a man who left the Dem
ocratio party in Virginia and joined
his fortunes with Malone on a plat

vote Of the district over 12,000-had Mr..
Towne received Sb4 more votes he would
have won the election. He assisted in

fed with the life of St. Paul than is
the Democratic candidate for congress,
the Hon. John Wiley Willis. He rep
resents the best type of the young ST.
Paul man. His life has been almost
purely an intellectual one. His habits
have been the habits Of q student; his
pursuits the pursuits of q scholar. In
every public undertaking his part has
been the part of a sterling patriot. His
selection for congress by the voters of
the Fourth congressional district will
insure the presence, as the representa-
tive of this people in congress, of one
OF the best read, most thoroughly In
formed and capable representatives
that will be sent from any section of
the country.
Judge Willis was born in the city of
st. Paul just forty-four years ago on
the 18th day of July last. His early
education was obtained in our public
schools, from which he passed into the
st. Paul high school. He graduated
from that institution at the head of
his class. To all intents the educational
career of Judge Willis only began with
his graduation from the high school.
He at once entered Manchester college,
and after a period Of study there he
entered the Minnesota state university
at Minneapolis. Before taking his de-
grees at the state university Judge
Willis entered Dartmouth college, from
which he graduated with high honors
IN June, 1877, in his twenty-third year.
For two years Judge Willis pursued
his studies in the law and in the de-
partments of political science and his
tory. He served as instructor in Latin
and Greek in the St. Paul high school
from September 1873, to June, 1879, and
was admitted to the bar Of the supreme
court of Minnesota the following Oc-
tober. AT once he entered into the ac-
tive practice Of his profession While
at the bar he was distinguished as one
OF the closest students Of his cases, one
OF the most eloquent of the legal breth-
rem, and one who, from his determina-
ton Of purpose and clearness and CO.
gency as an advocate, was In demand
even to contest litigated matters with
the Oldest, ablest and most experience
ed attorneys In practice.
During what might be called the
formative stage OF his career Judge
Willis was in no sense or degree neg
lectful Of his duties ana obligations as
g. citizen. He was chosen as a mem
Der of the city board Of education and
served with distinction in that posi-
ton during the years 1881 and 1882. The
following year 1888 he was the can
didate of his party for attorney gen
eral Of the state. From 1889 to 1892 he
served as q member Of the state board
OF corrections and charities, and is to-
day recognized virtually as an expert
in all cases Of mental alienation and
as one OF the best informed and deep
est students Of the problems which re-
late to the treatment Of the criminal
and defective members Of society. His
election as Judge Of the district court

Is pleasing in address, and a gentle
man who impresses one with his homes
ty of purpose and loyalty to principle.
He is plain and practical and whose
every pulse-beat is with the plain and
common people, to which fact, in q
large degree, may be attributed his
eminent success in life. He is a modest
and unassuming gentleman, but in
tensely interested in the affairs about
him.
He has spent his life thus far in the
Second district, excepting the
few years of his boyhood while attend
ing school. His every interest is in his
district and there is every good rea-
son for the statement that, If elected
congressman, he would labor for the
best interests of district, state and ma
ton with the zsal that has characterize
ed his whole business life.
