The Democrats who are urging
the election of Ed Tanner for sheriff
for the sake of building up the DEM
ocratic organization are giving a
good reason why Republican voters
should not support him. II the
Democratic organization needs
Tanner for sheriff it il plain that no
Republican should help in that
cause.

The Republican County Ticket

is an excellent one, composed of we'll known
and prominent citizens from different parts OF
the county. In the fair distribution of nomina-
tions the town of Elm Dale, in the southwest
part of the county, which has nearly 200 Re-
publican voters, obtained the nomination Of
county treasurer, J. J. Jacobson being the can
didate:
The town of Bellevue, in the southeastern
part of the county, also with nearly 200 Repub-
ican voters, has the nomination for sheriff:
The Second commissioner district has for
the Republican candidate Robert Tedford of
Ripley Although the majority Of the voters
and Republican delegates are in the city of
Little Falls, this nomination was secured by a
farmer living in the northern town OF the dis
trict.
The disposition shown by the Republican
convention to fairly distribute over the county
the nominations is one that deserves the en-
dorsement and approval of the voters OF the
county.
The Republican county ticket this fall is
one that appeals in many ways not only to
loyal Republicans, but to all citizens who
favor good government in the county, and
fair distribution OF the public Offices.
Almost every element Of the Republican
party. and nearly every section Of the county
that contributes to Republican success is rep
resented on the Republican county ticket.
The nominees are good representatives OF the
Republican voters Of their respective comn1un-
tiles, and are candidates who will in every way
conduct campaign that is creditable to their
party and constituents.
The Republican nominees worthy of
the support of the voters of the county, and
their election at the polls will guarantee the
highest possible standard Of government for
the county for the next two years.

Page Morris, the Republican candidate
for congress- should be elected in order that
the district may have an able and influential
representative at Washington, and that Presi-
dent Mckinley may have supporter and
friend to aid him, instead of an opponent and
critic to oppose and hamper him.
A vote for Ferris and Smith for
representatives is a vote for
KNUTE NELSON for UNITED
STATES SENATOR. If you favor
Nelson's return to the senate, be
sure and vote for both Ferris and
Smith.

Cato Sells of Iowa Would Have it as
Model For Kansas City Convention
Omaha, Neb., June 30.-A special tele-
gram to the World-HeraId from Lin
coin says:
Congressman Sulzer of New York,
spent almost the whole forenoon with
Colonel Bryan at his home today be-
ing most of the time in private confer
ence with him. Neither Mr.. Bryan nor
Mr.. SulZer was willing to talk concern
ing the nature of the conference.
The most important of today's ar
rivals is Hon. Cato Sells. chairman Of
the Iowa delegation to the Kansas City
convention.
Mr.. Sells was a gold Democrat in 1896,
but is this year an enthusiastic and con-
hdent supporter of Mr.. Bryan.
The Iowa delegation has had no
meeting YET he said to the World Her
aid correspondent, and I can not say
whom it viii favor for vice president.
am satisfied, however, that the nomi-
nee will be a Democrat. Where he is
from will not matter so much as who
he is and what he stands for. AS to the
platform, I believe that a declaration
of PRINCIPLES closely modelled after the
Illinois platform would De most ac-
ceptable to the Democracy of the ma
ton.
make pronounced gains in the eastern
states, depending largely on wise action
at Kansas City. regard the prospects
for Mr.. Bryans election as more than en-
couraging because of the issues growing
| out of the war. The peculiar situation
| develops for the first time that the Ger
man-American and Irish-American voters
are extremely liable TO be found fighting
| shoulder to shoulder for the same candi-
\ date. And that means not only that we
will probably carry New York, but 1t
| makes such states as Wisconsin. Michi
| gan and Illinois doubtful states. with IL
| dications pointing TO their votes being
| cast for the Democratic candidate"
Mr.. Sells has an appointment 10 see Mr.
Bryan this afternoon. Governor Thomas.
/ of Colorado, is also expected this after
| noon.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
Hubbard Mathews, Auditorium
Laborer, Arrested.

Hubbard Mathews, a negro who was
employed at the auditorium was arrest
ed this afternoon by Officers Gilmore
and Hendricks. Hubbard is supposed
to be the man who murdered two white
men in Tecumseh, Oklahoma, in 1893.
He is registered on the police docket as
Geo. Williams, alias Bob Christian. and
answers the description sent by the
Oklahoma officers.
The officers here have been watching
MN for some time and this morning a
letter came from Oklahoma which salts
ned the police that Mathews is the man
wanted Some time ago Mathews was
on drunk with another negro and IN a
burst of confidence showed a knife
which he said he had used to kill two
white men This was reported to the
police. The men who were murdered
had taken a claim and had trouble
with Mathews. 1t is charged that he
crept into their house at night and
plunged his knife into the heart of one
killing him instantly, the other one
made desperate fight for his life but
was finally murdered

CLOSING DOWN.
Manufacturing Plants in Many Lines
Stop Production.

New York, June 3O.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s |
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The country begins to feel some of the
effects of its new place among the ma
tons. Influences affecting its business
during the week rang i all the way
from boycott at st. Louis to a war in
South Africa and from sun spots to the
relief of Pekin
The long effort to hold nominal prices
for iron at Pittsburg has ceased, and
the associations now recognize an open
market in which Bessemer is offered at
$lS and billets at &c. with Grey Forge
at $l7. over thirty furnaces are said
to have gone out of blast, and while
some have been stopped for repairs
many more will be idle for time unless
wage scales for the coming year have
been settled with labor organizations
With steel plates quoted at 1.3O at Pitts
burg, and No. sheets at 2.90 cents, no
general gain in business results from
the sudden decline in structural shapes.
Neither official nor unofficial accounts
have removed doubts about the wheat
crop, and If it proves as low as one
estimate, 460,000,000 bushels, the extent
to which it may now be displaced in
European consumption by corn will be
seriously tested. Exports of wheat and
corn were 429, 00O. 600 bushels in 1898 and
100000 900 in 1899 and have been about
10000 600 and 100000 900 bushels corn in
the crop year 1900, but never as large
before, for in 1892, when 225,OOO 900 bush
els wheat went abroad, there We're only
75,000,OO0 bushels corn. But all recent
estimates of production have been so
far distrusted, and it is scarcely good
sense to base grave apprehension on
any so early in date.
In four weeks of June Atlanta exports
OF wheat, flour included have been TO-
9S0,0T6 bushels against S,934, ,638 bushels
| last year, and Pacific exports 2,753 976
bushels, against 2.445.7 749 bushels last
year, while corn exports in the four
weeks have been 1886, PA bushels,
against 11,4S5,596 bushels last year At
ter rising four cents wheat closed IN
changed for the week and corn nearly
half cent higher.
The calculation that the wooden goods
| business was large enough and good
! enough to stand anything is not yet
| justified. The market is growing unsat-
! isfactory and it is no longer denied that
/ some Of the best works have closed or
materially reduced force. The demand
! for mens heavy goods falls much below
/ expectations With partially different
/ causes the cotton goods market reaches
/ a similar position. Depression in the
/ market for goods did not prevent raw
cotton from advancing to ten cents.
The boot and shoe industry makes slow
! progress. Most local works have closed
or are about to close, though western
/ than eastern. 1t is thought jobbers will
! soon begin orders for fall
Hides at Chicago are a little weaker
in the United States against 1S1 last
year.

at noon being the senior cabinet officer
in town. In the presidents absence he
sent Immediately for the secretary of
war and the secretary of navy. These
officials responded at once and a cabi-
net council was held in Secretary Hays
office. OF course Chinese situation was
the subject of discussion. All of the
were carefully considered. The conclu-
sion was that nothing has developed
warranting a change of policy at this
stage. So it was decided that no in
stTuctions should be dispatched to our
naval commander in China nor have
more troops been ordered there.
