ON BY PETITION.
Recent POpulist Mass Convention Not
Recognized by Law.

1t develops that F. M. Curriers' re-
cent nomination for mayor by the mass
convention of Populists was not legal,
and that his name will have to go on
the ticket as an independent candidate
by petition of a small per cent of the
voters This petition was circulated
Saturday, and no trouble in securing
the necessary number of names was
anticipated.
Mr. Currier is in the race to stay, and
and it is said has received promises of
support from large numbers of Repub-
licans and Democrats. He will be a
stronger candidate as an Independent
than on the platform adopted by thePop-
ulist convention, as that platform was an
unfortunate move, as it threatened to
prevent many from voting for him who
would liked to have done so but did
not want to endorse the tenets OF
Populism upon which he stood. Now
this platform is swept away, and he
will stand on his own merits and the
confidence which the voters feel that
they could place in him in the event OF
his election.

THE NORTH MANKATO W. c. T. u.

The North Mankat w. CT. U. meet
ing at Mrs. Gudarian's Thursday was
not quite so well attended as the pre-
vious one but was fully as interesting.
During the st udy of the annual leafet
the department of mercy was touched
upon, and it was mentioned that at the
last national convention the following
resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That in view of the
wholesale destruction and threatened
extinction of whole species of beautiful
and useful song birds for millinery pur-
poses, and the consequent rapid multi
plication of insect pests and serious
menace to the agricultural interests of
our country and the world; and in view
of the manifest inadequacy of moral
suasion and aesthetic motives to pre-
vent the wearing of birds and parts of
birds on women's bonnets: that we
earnestly pray that congress will pass a
law prohibiting the sale by hunters or
milliners of any bird plumage except
ostrich feathers"
This brought out some interesting
discussion, and helped to make each
woman present more thoughtful as to
what they should use to decorate their
headgear. When we learn that these
beautiful birds, are many of them skin
ed while still living, in order that the
plumage may be more glossy and at
tractive and also that they are mostly
slain during the mating season, when
hundreds of little nestlings are left in
nests to die of starvation it seems as if
every woman would be glad to give up
the wearing of birds in the interest of
mercy so that there would be no need
of asking for laws to protect them but
the numberless dead bodies of beauti-
full birds seen upon the hats upon our
streets every day show that many are
thoughtless upon the subject and that
there is great need of something being
done to stop the slaughter.
After the lesson study number of Sc
lections were read telling of the life and
works of Neal Dow. At the close of
the meeting refreshments were served
and social hour was enjoyed.
The next meeting will be three weeks
from yesterday and will be the first in
the second uyears series of Mothers
Meetings, the subject and place of meet
ing will be announced later.

FEW INVITED.
Very Exclusive Conference Held
Friday Night.
Meeting to Decide What the Democratic
Convention Should do Friday
Afternoon.

Thedelega es to Fridays Democratic
city convention and half dozen of the
head pushers held extraordinarily
evening to talk over the situation and
agree on candidates SO that everything
would go smoothly Friday. 1t was a
good deal like the star chamber sessions
of the council, where the business is
transacted in the mayors Office and
merely ratified in the open sessions.
About thirty of the delegates were
present and Judge J. E. Porter was
chosen to preside over the meeting.
The meeting had been called more
particularly in reference to the office of
mayor, and the delagetes canvassed the
situation and were told by the outside rs
what they ought to do. Only few of
'the best were permitted to know any
thing about this affair, and the rank
and file-the boys who are expected to
do the work and the voting.
were left on the outside. Some of them
did not seem to relish this very well
when they had been told what had
happened
Some of the delegates wanted to re-
nominate Mayor Pau, but Aid. Him
melman appeared with authority to
speak for Mr.. Pau and said that under
no possible circumstances would that
gentleman accept the nomination if it
were rendered to him. This settled the
Pau talk, and the delegates began to
cast about for some other victim.
A message had been sent from head,
quarters saying that Aid Zimmerman
would be the strongest man to put up
and that j. G. Thro would be the second
strongest. This message was not de-
livered, but some of the delegates wanted
Mr.. Himmelman nominated The Third
ward alderman announced positively
that he would not take the nomination
under any circumstances. 1t is now be-
lieved that if Mr. Thro had been properly
approached he would have accepted it,
and would have made strong run. AS
it was. he was simply called upon to
express his opinion as to who would be
the strongest and he said that he con-
sidered Mr.. Zimmerman to be the
strongest.
There was little talk of Aid. Peter
sen, but it did not receive much favor
able response. Frank Fowler was men
toned and several favored him.
A strong undercurrent developed in
favor of endorsing f. M. Currier, but
the tide was stemmed by the liberal
element, and Moses was finally found
in the person of Orange Little. The
latter was not present, but assurances
were given that he would accept the
nomination and it was agreed to give
him unanimous support, the delegates
expressing themselves as satisfied.
The other offices were talked over to
some extent, but nothing definite was
done.

FORMER RESIDENT DEAD.
Mrs. ". F. DeGraff Passes Away at
Bismarck, N. D.

Mr.. John G. Noe received a letter
from Mr.. w. F. DeGraff, now of Bis
marck, N. D formerly of this city, con-
tanning information of the death of his
wife, Mrs. Harriet, G. De Graft. The
latter died at Bismarck March 10Th of
paralysis, and was inferred the follow
ing Friday. She had been entirely help
let's for some time. Mrs De Graft moved
from Mankato about ten years ago, but
was well known to most of the older
residents, and the news of her death
will cause much sorrow among these.
She was 63 years of age, and is survived
by son and two daughters, one of
whom is Mrs. J. E. Porter.

SEWER PUMP READY.
Engineer Thompson is Preparing for
High Water.

City Engineer Thompson has been
preparing for the high water that now
seems to be almost inevitable. He has
had the sewer pump made ready and a
new valve prepared to cut off the sewer
from the river, so that on two hours
notice the sewers can be pumped out
instead of flowing naturally into the
river This will prevent the water from
backing up in the sewer pipes and flood
ing Easements on Front and Second
streets. sS
In speaking of the ice breakers, Mr.
Thompson ssid that they were decayed
and will have to be rebuilt, and that it
is now too late to do this before the
river breaks up. The only pier about
which any anxiety is felt is the round
one under the draw span of the bridge
A plan for protecting this was suggest
ed by R. G. Becker this morning. He
believes that some railroad rails
propped in front of this pier at an
angle would cause the heavy ice cakes
to run up and break off, and thus be
carried harmless by the pier on both
sides by the current.
Residents in the low places on both
sides of the river are making prepare
tions for high water, as it is felt that
when the change in the weather comes
there will be sea.of water everywhere.

A SUNDAY RUNAWAY.

While S. II. Grannis and his niece
were out driving Sunday afternoon
on the cemetery road they met team
which did not give enough of the road.
Mr.. Grannis was obliged to turn out so
far that the cutter was upset and he
and the young lady were thrown out,
but fortunately were unhurt. The
horse ran away, demolishing the cutter
and harness and receiving some in
iurieS,
