Banker Dossett, of Madelia, was in
the city Wednesday on business. He
states that the stacking in Watonwan
county will be completed this week,
and that the average yield of wheat in
the county will be about twelve bushels
to the acres. A farmer near Madelia
offered his entire field of wheat for 50
per acre before the rains. Last week
he threshed from the same field twenty
bushels to the acre Madelia now has
a good new local telephone sevice, put
in by the Fairmont company.
Congressman McCleary last Friday
started on a trip down the great
lakes, accompanying his son, Leslie,
who has been under the care of a
specialist in bronchial trouble at ST.

be taken on the advice of physicians
and they will be gone about ten days
1t is believed that Leslie is now on the
road to complete recovery, and his
friends will certainly hope that will be
the case.

of any desired depth can be secured.

The convention will have no more
important task before it than the selec-
ton of three candidates to represent
the county in the state Legislature.
There is, besides the general legisla.
ton, a United States senator to be
chosen next winter and this fact, il
none other existed, is sufficient to fur
nish good reason why the Republicans
should make only such nominations as
will commend themselves to the con
fidence of the voters of the county.
Blue Earth is large and important
county, and the character of the me1
chosen to the legislature should be Of
a high order. Our interests in state
matters are increasing with each sue
ceeding year, and if we are to keel
pace with our neighbors we must seni
men to ST. Paul whose influence in di
recting legislation will be felt.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
The Republican Aspirants are Putting
Up Hard Convention Contest.
Six Active Candidates From Which to
Choose Three.

The approaching Republican nomin-
ating convention is having the effect
of stirring up more or less interest
among the people of the county, but
there is an apparent lack of disposition
among the farmers to neglect their
own affairs to any great extent, hence
the fellow who wants political help
must traverse many field to find the
man whom his heart bleeds to tell is
the one particular friend who can
save him from defeat. But you can
bank that the farmer is found every
few minutes and his influence with his
neighbors is reiterated to him several
times day until he is finally con-
WINGED that he is good deal of fell
low himself. But it was ever thus.

Mr.. Geo. w. Norman, of Judson,
whose name has been discussed in
connection with the nomination fol
member of the legislature is a young
man of sterling worth and who, his
friends say will make an A No. 1 re-
preventative. He has resided in Judsor
for nearly or quite twenty years. and
is well known throughout the county.
He has held several town offices of re-
sponsibility, but has never held any
public Office outside of his own town,
and until now has never asked for one.
He comes from the old and thoroughly
reliable Republican Third district, an6
there seems to be disposition among
the boys of that territory to accord
George united delegation. If they
do this, and come to the convention
united, Mr.. Norman will certainly be
numbered among the members of the
next house of representatives, and nc
mistake will be made. We predict
that he will make one of the best an6
most useful members that Blue Earth
county has had in many years.

AS before stated, the Importance of
electing full Republican delegation
to the house this fall is very great,
and no pains should be spared to get
the best and strongest men. No COM
binations on other offices should be
considered that will possibly weaken
the delegation or lessen the chances for
electing every Republican member
thereof

Representative Argetsinger, of Ma
pleton, is out for denomination. So, also,
is Representative Nyquist, of LeRay.
Mr.. Severson, of Cream, j. E. Swenson, of
Lake. Crystal and Geo. Wilder, of Amboy,
are also in the field as active candidates.
Gene Thompson, of Garden City, is also
a candidate, but poor health has forced
him to go to Rochester for treatment
and as a consequence he has been un-
able to do any great amount of pre-
liminary work for his nomination.
These gentlemen are all well qualified
for the position
1t will be observed that there are seven
candidates, and the limit to be chosen
is three So of necessity there must be
four disappointed ones. While the
Free Press has no choice, believing
that any of the three that may be
chosen can be elected, and that all are
well equipped to make valuable mem
bers, there seems to be strong feeling
among those who have kept tab on the
sentiment of the Republicans thus far
expressed that those most likely to win
out in the convention are Norman,
Nyquist and Wilder But this is only
guess work of course. What conven-
tion will do is somtimes easy to guess
but hard to determine.

Albert Lea Standard: Reports from

Wheat is the best crop in over 20
years, or since that of 1877. 1t yields
from Is to 80 bushels per acre, the
average being probably between Is and
90 The quality, too, is high grade.
Oats is lighter crop but fairly good.
Flax the same. Corn is rapidly i'm
proving and promises to be the best
the country has known.

MURDER NOT FOUND

Hilo, Sept. 14.-After a prolong I'd
and searching investigation lasting for
several days before the coroners jury,
the two men from the schooner Okla
nagan who were arrested on suspicion
that they were connected with the
murder of the Chinese hackdriver,
Chan 10, have been dismissed, the evil
dence not being found sufficient to mold
them on the Grand Jury.
On Tuesday a man by the name Of
Doyle was gathered in by the "minions
of the law" partly upon general prin-
clples, as the man is regarded as 4
vagabond and wanderer upon the
face Of Hawaii, and is possessed of .
record which makes him the object Of
Official solicitude; and partly because
his movements upon the night when
the murder took place seem to bear a
suspicious tinge. II is not stated, how
ever, that there was any direct evil
dence against him.-Tribune.
