He PLEADED FOR REFORM
Addresses Delivered by MIR. Lind,
Judge Willis, II. ID. O'Brien and
Other Leaders-Place of Meeting
Crowded and Many Unable TO

SALTWATER, Mimi, Nov. q
(Specfal.)-The most magnificent politi.
cal demonstration ever held in Still.
water, such was the meeting addressed
at the opera house this evening by Hon
John Lind, T. d. O'Rrien, Judge John
w. Willis, John O'Brien and others.
Eighteen hundred people gained en-
trance to the building and hundreds
were unable to force their way through
the crowded stairway. 1t was a mag
nificent Endorsement of Mr. Linds can
didacy, and shows conclusively that
the people of Saltwater and Washing
ton county are on the side of pure
politics and are for reform in state
matters.
Mr.. Lind arrived here from Anoka
this evening and was met at the depot
by 200 enthusiastic people, who cheer
ed and cheered him as he alighted from
the train. He nodded in acknowledg,
ment of his reception. and the crowd
followed him to the hotel, where hum
dreds were eager to meet him.
When Mr.. Lind arrived at the opera
house the building was packed from
piI " uOIle anu as the curtain rosa
he was cheered repeatedly.
The first speaker was T. D. O'Brien,
who discussed state issues in a mas
terly manner and carried conviction to
his hearers. He was repeatedly cheer
ed and applauded, and was followed by
John Lind, who was greeted by cheer
upon cheer. Mr.. Lind's speech was an
eloquent effort and was roundly ap.
plauded. He dwelt largely upon state
issues and urged his supporters to
stand firmly by the entire ticket in sup
port of purer government
1t Is estimated that more than 1905
people heard him, more than there are
registered voters in the city, and that
most of them will stand firmly by him
on Nov. 8.
The other speakers We're Judge Willis,
John O'Brien, Democratic nominee for
state senator; Mr.. McKinnon and J
N. Castle. 1t was the unanimous yer,
dict here this evening that it was tho
grandest political meeting ever held in

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-(special.)-
A rough rider, one of Roosevelt's en-
thusiastic spelbinders, thus predicted
IN a recent meeting on the West side
what would happen in the ides Of
November:
Fellow citizens, Teddy Roosevelt
led us up the hill before San Juan to
the slaughter, and, fellow citizens, he
will do it again in November"
He was dazed at the merry ma! hav'
which greeted his peroration, but he
vas right in his prediction-Teddy will,
indeed, lead his party to slaughter on
the day of election. No hurrah cam
paign ever yet carried the state of New
York. The Republicans have tried it
and invariably been defeated. The tide
has been slowly but strongly setting
in the direction Of the Democracy, till
new no man can measure the disaster
which it will work upon the Repub-
lican machine and it's candidates from
top to bottom.
The New York Democracy followed
the Democracy of Minnesota in elect
Ing to make the campaign upon state
issues, Of which we know there are
enough in this state. The canal steal,
involving millions of dollars, perpe-
trated under the eye of Republican
ofhceholders and with the cooperation
of the Plat Republican machine, has
aroused the farmers to pitch of ex-
citement rivaling that produced by
the famous message of Gov Samuel J.
Tflden, calling upon them to aid him
in wiping out the canal ring twenty
two years ago. No amount of gush
about San Juan or Ell Caney will blind
them to the fact that they have been
robbed of good money in the making
of the so-called canal improvements 50
An obnoxious liquor license law was
enacted by the same Platt machine,
which sought to create and did create
a standing army of inspectors and
spies, whose first loyalty was to the
machine and whose every effort was
devoted to its perpetuation. 1t was in
violation of every principle of home
rule, and as such it has been handled
without gloves by the Democracy and
has become a potent issue in this can
vass.
BOSS PLATT'S MACHINE.
IIlC SclIilS ilidNIllIlS pdSSSu dn SiSC-
ton law for Greater New York, which
is regarded as in effect an act of dis
reimbursement. New York city has
never forgotten the sway of the federal
supervisors and marshals under John
I. Davenport. This law was passed by
a Republican Legislature in opposition
to every newspaper in Greater New
York, Republican as well as Demo-
cratic. The voters will resent this out
rage by giving an enormous plurality
against the machines candidate for
governor. Indeed, this is placed as
high as 10000, and, as Roosevelt can
not be expected to come down to the
Harlem from the up-country Repub-
lican districts with more than $4,000
in his favor, this would give Van
Wyck a majority in the state of 60, ,O00
I believe those were the figures pre-
dicted by The st. Paul Glob e weeks
ago, and nothing has occurred to in
dicate that they are an eXaggeration.
Richard Croker has predicted 65, ,000
and he probably has a better grasp Of
the situation hereabouts than any
other living man.
But, whatever the figures may be.
Judge Van Wyck will be the next gov
ernor of New York state. The keenest

LITCHFIELD, Mimi, Nov 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-George N. Lamphere, union can
didate for state auditor, spoke to
good-sized audience at the town hall
here. His speech was devoted largely
to state issues, and he showed in a
clear light the abuses that have
grown up in the thirty-eight years
that the Republicans have been in
power in this state. The handling Of
state lands, the grain inspection the
twine deal and the boodling positions
of oil inspector and surveyor of logs
and lumber were shown up in their
true light.
Mr.. Lamphere held the close atten-
tion Of his audience throughout, and
his address contained facts so present
ed as to demand attention and thought
by all friends Of good government.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-"There Is growing
pei1ef that the trouble between Great
Britain and France is far from being
settled" is the substance of specials
from Paris printed In several of the
London newspapers today. THE French
authorities are refraining from com
ment en- the dispute, but there has been
no cessation of preparation for active
naval and military movements. These
nave been explained as being in the
line Of experiments, but that cloak has
grown too fiimsy to cover their real
meaning, and Europe is prepared for
rupture that may involve first
france and Great Britain, with a pos
sibility, If not probability, that other
great and powerful nations will ba
drawn into the conflict" says a Paris
correspondent.
The fact that the coast guardsmen
throughout the United Kir gdom aays

mobilization is regarded as a menacins
sign. Many of them have already join-
ed their ships.

A WATCH IS A WONDER.


some Things About II That Are Not Gen.
orally Known.
Open your watch and look ut the lit

Indispensable part Of the whole won
derful machine. Notice the busy little
balance wheel as 10 flies to and fro I'M
ceasingly. day and night, year In and
year out. This wonderful little machine
Ii the result OF hundreds of years Of
study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average
man Is composed OF % pieces, and its
manufacture embraces more than ., 900
distinct ana separate operations. Some
OF the smallest screws are 30 minute
that the unaided eyes cannot distinguish
them from steel filings or speoks of dirt.
Under powerful magnifying glass a
perfect screw Ia revealed. The slit In
tho head IL 3-lOO OF AN inch wide. IL
takes 8O6, 600 OF these screws to weigh
pound and pound Ia worth 81, 58b.
The hairspring Is strip Of the finest
steel, about D y inches long, LOO inch
wide, 27-1O,O00 inoh thick. 1t Ia ooiled
up In spiral form and finely tempered.
The process OF tempering these springs
was long held az a secret by the few for
tunate ones possessing 1t. and even now
Is not generally known. Their manu-.
faoture requires great skill and care
The strip IL gauged to 2O-l00 Of an inch,
but no measuring instrument has rs yet
been devised capable Of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size OF the strip what the strength Of
tho finished spring will DO. A 20-I 1000

ness OF the strip makes q difference In
the running OF watch Of about six

A MOTHERS RUSE.
Saved Hsr Sons From Consumption. but
Changed the Family Name.

Saved Hsr Sons From Consumption, but
Changed the Family Name.
A gentleman living In Boston told an
interesting story the other day about
how some Of his blood relatives hap
pcned to have family name different
from his own. II seems that during the
prosecutions In Scotland these partiou-
lar Kirkpatricks went over to ireland
and Settled in Belfast Subsequently the
head Of the family came ACROSS the
ocean aud as soon M he was established
sent for his wife to join him, bringing
with her their four Sons, two Of whom
were old enough TO make stripping sol.
diers had some exigency demanded such
asacrillco. Tho journey was undertaken
in slow going ship bound for New
York. and while she was somewhere In
mid Al ntic the wnr Of 1879 between
England and the United States broke
out.
The ship when nearing our seaboard
was overtaken by a British cruiser,
which put her about and escorted her to
Halifax, Nova Scotia The officer In
command nj the cruiser declared his In
tention Of impressing sailors and sol
diers from among the passengers. A
mother having more than two sons
would have to give up all over that
number who might be available for
military or naval service. Mrs. Kirk
patrick, who was quick witted wom-
an, instantly planned a russo which she
justified In her own mind by calling II
ruse do guerre "a trick Of war;. She
stood two sons in one part Of the ship
and two In another and was accepted,
without detection, as the mother of both
pairs, though she called herself Kirk
patrick in ono instance and Fitzpatrick
In tho other
After they disembarked the deception
had TO be kept up, az they were con-
stantly under the eyes Of British officers
The interrogation by the cruiser resulted
in the family settling In Halifax instead
OF in the United states, but even after
peace WAS restored the two kirkpatrick
boys found it much harder to get their
name back than it had been to exchange
it on sbipboard In fact. they never got
IL back.
Those who had come to know them
as Kilpatricks refused to know them Oh
Kirkpstricks, and In the course of time
the effort 10 reclaim the family name
was abandoned az hopelosa The varia-
ton In prefix made expedient pro tenn.
by the intermeddling cruiser seems Il
have been ordained to continue sine
die.-Harper Round Table
