The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-05-07

at LIE Sueur. Mr.. Doran. late in the '70s
had come to st. Paul and purchased an
interest in the banking and brokerage
house of Charles A. Morton, forming the
firm of Morton & Doran. A few months
later he bought Mr.. Morton's remaining
interest, and the firm became M. Doran Il
Co.. the company being Mr.. Smith, his
LIE Sueur associate, who continued as
partner until 1891, when Mr.. Deran's son
James became the junior member of the
firm, relation which continued until
within few months.
But it is not as an officeseeker or office
holder that Mr.. Doran has been chiefly
prominent politically. His labors In the
interest of his party have been indefa-
tigable, and he has contributed literally
of his private means on many occasions
for the promotion of the party cause
He was known in the legislature as
stanch partisan party questions, but
strenuous and consistent advocate of
economic, honest government Al
though a member of a minority party dur
ing his service in the senate, his posi-
ton was in many ways that of a leader,
and his judgment of matters, either leg
islative, administrative or political, was
highly esteemed by his associates, both
In office and out of II. His Democracy
dates well back. In 1864 he was a dele
gate from Minnesota to the national con-
vention at Chicago which nominated Gen.
George B. Mcclellan for the presidency.
He was also a delegate to the convention
og 1876 which placed in nomination Sam
uel J. Tilden. Indeed. since 1864 there has
been but one national convention of the
Democratic party at which he was not
present. Naturally, this has given him
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-05-07

wide acquaintance with the public men
of that political faith in all parts of the
country. AS chairman of the Democratic
state central committee in 1882, and for
six years thereafter, his position as po-
litical leader was unQuestioned, and upon
the election in 1884 of Grover Cleveland
to the presidency, Mr.. Doran, who had
been one of the Buffalo mans supporters,
became one of the political personal init
Inmates of the new president, friendship
being formed then which has continued
uninterrupted to this time
Mr.. Cleveland entertains a high regard
for the political and business sagacity of
no more valiant champion in the conven-
lions of 1888 and 1892 than Machael Doran,
of Minnesota, an ardent believer In the
honesty and fearlessness of the first
Democratic president since the war.
In 1888 Mr.. Doran was chosen to rep
resent Minnesota on the national Dem
ocratic committee, to which he was
again chosen in 1892.
Just prior to the convention of 1896 he
resigned this position. His personal
friendship for Mr. Cleveland and his affil-
iations with the leaders of the sound
money wing of the party might have
made possible an inference that he was
using his committee position to aid In
the promotion of the sound money cam
Doran, then unhampered made a vigorous
personal fight and succeeded in securing
the election of a sound money delegation,
practically, to the Chicago convention.
1t was in this early campaign of 1896 per-
haps that the f1nesse of "the LIE Sueur
statesman" as he had long been called
admiringly by his party associates, was
displayed more particularly than in any
earlier contest. Mr.. Doran's fight in this
campaign added to his reputation as a
master of arts political among his friends
in the East, who had given up the Democ-
racy Of Minnesota as hopelessly lost, from
their standpoint.
In May, 1855, Mr.. Doran was married to
Miss Ellen Brady at Norwalk. They had
five children, of whom four survived her
at her death, March, 1863. In February,
1854. Mr.. Doran was again married. to
Miss Catherine J. Grady, of LIE Sueur
county. There have been seven children
by this second marriage.

There are about 2, 100000 cattle in KAN

tie trade is undergoing evolution Ex-
perience is teaching new methods by

by the least outlay of laobr and cost
The breeding and fattening of live stock
has been reduced to an exact science.
There are three kinds of cattle, COM
mercfally speaking. The wild or range
cattle, mixed cows and steers two years
old, are bred in Texas and Indian Terri
tory mostly and shipped from Elgin and
other points of lesser Importance to the
stock yards of Kansas City. There they
are divided into Gamers, stockers and
feeders. Stockere are good breeding cows
which are sold and sent back to the farms
OF Kansas to multiply and replenish the
barnyards Feeders are steers that will be
lkxly to take on flesh If we'll fed, and are
sent to the fattening farms, where, for

then pay the penalty at the butchers
block. 1t has been found that 100 pounds
Of beef to the weight of the steer and
increase his value from $1S to 500 to $40
or $780, When a steer is fattened he is
usually sold by the pound according to
the rates prevailing in the Kansas City
and Chicago markets, somewhere be-
tween five and six cents a pound. The
difference between the value of the raw
material and that Of the finished product
less the cost of $50 bushels of corn, is the
profit Of the farmer. Gamers are a low
grade that are hard to fatten and are not
considered worthy of the honor of assist
ing to perpetuate their species. 1t is a
| case of the survival of the f1ttest, and
| they are sent to the executioner with
out further ceremony. The beef they
| have carried around on their bones goes
| to the factories to be corned, picked,
sailed, smoked and canned in various
! forms and by various processes.

Peshta moved his chair into a corner,
and sat in the dusk. He tucked the vio-
lin beneath his chin, keyed up the strings
and began.
1T was devils music" said the miner.
The bow swayed sinuously.
Soft and low at first 1t ran; then into
the swinging, rioting notes Of a Magyar
dance. From the wooden instrument the
gypSy'S touch brought music, whose soul
was devilment; whose object, sin.
The half-barbaric instincts of the child
bent beneath its mood. One moment she
was pensive; one moment beside herself
with the pulsing Of the refrain. Peshta
knew the latent devil in his music, but
none before had succumbed so quickly as
this girl, this child.
Enough" cried the miner suddenly,
and the gypsy, putting up his violin,
went forth with self-assertive smile.
He returned. Again the music played
upon the simple auditors. Stroka was
half fearful, half fearless. There could
be no evil in a man who played like this
But strange reports were about
BEST look out for that gypsy said a
man in Stroka's gang, 81 hear he has a
wife at home"
Peshta came to offer his hand
No." said the miner, you are mar

IT'S a lie,' said the gypsy.
mo lie until you can prove 1t one,'
answered the miner, ''you shall not
marry Mary until you prove yourself an
honest man"
But there are simpler things than the
proof Of honesty. Experience had been
a thoughtful teacher to Peshta. Three
days later Mary came to Wilkesbarfe
The musician met her by the river
bridge.
Twill you go with me?'' he asked.
She was frightened. They walked
along the bank past the last grimy coal
breaker, near the JAIL and found a place
beside the river. Peshta drew out the
violin. He played with all his cunning.
YES she said, 81 will go with you
anywhere"
They walked back before the jail. Had
he known it the gypsy might have seen
retribution in the shadow of its gates.
That night Stroka came raging into the
city. Mary was gone, and where he had
already guessed
They were gone four months. Stroka
plodded on at his labor, his heart black
er than the work before him.
Then a miner brought news. He had
come from Hazleton. He had seen them
there They were playing in the street,
