OZONE

Immediately after thunder storm
the atmosphere is always bracing and
revivifying. You sniff it with pleas
ure and initiate your lungs to the full
in an almost involuntary effort to
drink in the freshness
This phenomena is attributed by
science to ozone.
Ozone is form of oxygen which is
produced by passing a current of cleo
tricity through the air. Ozone is re-
garded as the great invigorator and
blood purifier, destroying the germs of
disease in the blood, SO it is employed
extensively in the cure of disease.
People having good nutrition have
no occasion to require ozone treat
ment. A healthy nutrition supplies
plenty of healthy blood. Health is
promoted by the use of Golden Grain
Belt health food beers The invigor-
ating and strengthing sensation which
is experienced through the ozone after
thunder storm is enjoyed from a
bottle of "Gilt Edge" brewed by the

NO IMPERIALISM THEN, NONE


The Duluth Herald quotes a plank
from the platform of the Republican
party in 1876 ind says there was no
imperialism, then and tries to make a
point against the Republicans at the
present time rom it. There was no
imperialism then as there is none now,
yet the Democrats were just as fearful
for few years previous to that date,
that the republic would not last, that
Grant intended to Caesarize the Re
public, as they now pretend to be that
Mckinley has his heart set upon turn
ing it into an empire, The plank
above referred to declared that the
nation had been preserved to its one
hundredth anniversary by the Repub-
lican party and it had. 1t declared
that it's principles were the embodi-
ment of the great truths spoken at it's
cradle, that all men are created equal,
etc. That was all true then, it is just
as true today. The nation had emerged
from great civil contest, scarcely a
decade before, in which the Republi-
can party had not only preserved the
republic, but had also freed four mil
lions of slaves. Today we have also
emerged from conflict with foreign
nation, and downtrodden Cuba and
tyrannized Porto Rico have not only
been liberated but 20, 900, 600 of Fill
pinos have been cut free from the
thralling bonds of imperialism, and the
United States stands ready, as soon as
order is restored through the islands to
establish stable government that
will give them all the advantages of
liberty that the people of the states
today enjoy. The Republican party
proposes that they shall have liberty
and stable government, to AS great
an extent locally as is possible and
they are prepared for, and not the
state of anarchy they would be thrown
into were Mr.. Bryan to be put into a
position to pull down the flag from
the islands and beat retreat. There
was no imperialism in 1875, though for
four or five years Democracy had de-
clared that to be Grants desire. There
is no imperialism today though the
Bryanites declare that is Mckinley s
purpose and the breath of freedom and
liberty handed down by the fathers
which pervaded the Republican party
at that time, is one of the principal
elements that guides the Republican
party today, and has caused it to take
up the burden which pr 9vidence has
pointed out for the nati0s and under
take to guide the FilipinSs into ha-
ven of peace and civilized life, with
all the liberty that the declaration of
independence guaranteed to the state.

selected to lead the forelorn hope
against Mr.. McCleary.
Mr.. j. j. Green, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, presented
the following
The Democrats of the second con-
gressional district in convention as
sembled submit the following
Resolved, That we affirm the
Kansas City platform of the Demo
cratic party and pledge our earnest
support to our gallant leaders, Bryan
and Stevenson.
Resolved, That we believe that i'm
perialism as slated in the platform of
our party, is the paramount issue in
this campaign, and that it is the duty
of all lovers of liberty to rally to the
support of the republic as against an
Resolved, That in our belief the
great trust combines formed through
out the country in the past few years,
destroying competition in trade and
enhancing prices to consumers, are the
/ legitimate outgrowth of the unjust
and excessive tariff duties of the Re-
publican tariff bill, which, while they
rebate taxes to enable manufacturers
to successfully compete with the same
line of goods in foreign markets, are
protected against outside competition
by duties that are practically pro-
hibitory.
Resolved, That the tariff duties
levied upon food necessities, articles
used in the building of our homes and
In the machinery necessary to develop
ment OF our farms, are especially OPP
presslve to the second congressional
district whose chief industry is that
of agriculture, and grossly unjust in the
fact that while they were made to pay
this tribute to industries and wealth
of other sections of the country, we
in turn are forced into free competi-
ton with the world in the sale of our
farm products
l. Resolved, That as citizens, sharing
the burdens of taxation, and interested
in the welfare of the district, we con-
denim the action of our present repre-
sentative in congress in voting for
these unjust taxes that we deplore
the fact that in every issue raised be-
tween aggregate wealth and the COM
mon people his vote and voice have
been with the former, and especially
do we condemn the congressman from
this district for his vote in favor of
the Porto Rican tariff bill, which was
severely condemned by nearly the en-
tire Republican press of Minnesota
and by Senators Davis and Nelson
whose votes were cast against it.
Mr.. Matthews was called upon and
accepted the charge placed upon him
with some timidity.
Mr.. Meyer, of st. James, issued an
invitation for the next congressional
convention to meet in st. James, and
made motion to that effect. The
matter was left with the congressional
committee.

ADJOURNED TO AUG. II.
Examination of Martin Murray
Laid Over.
lnsb lily of Lillian Welsh to Be Present,
Given as the Cause For
Postpouement,

The examination of Martin Murray
for alleged rape of Miss Edith Wat
son, or Lillian Welsh, as her true
name is, was to have taken place in
the municipal court Tuesday at
ten O'Clock, but when the case was
called the complaining witness did not
appear, and County Attorney Hughes
presented an affidavit signed by DIR.
Goodrich, stating that Miss Welsch
was sick and that in his opinion she
would not be able to appear for a
week Mr. Hughes moved that the
hearing be continued so that she could
be present.
II. L. Schmitt, Murray's attorney
objected to this and stated that the
prisoner had been held in Jail for some
time now awaiting hearing and that
it was but right that he should have
it at once. He was ready, and there
was no good reason presented in the
affidavit why the state should not pro-
coed, and alleged that the state had not
tried as it. ought to get its witnesses
present.
Mr.. Hughes said that the affidavit
stood as a reason why the state could
not proceed at this time. There was
some further cross fire between the at
torneys Mr.. Hughes offered to make
an affidavit setting forth the reasons
for an adjournment of the hearing.
Judge Shissler said the case was an
important one and he did not feel like
being responsible for dropping it, and
sustained the motion for adjournment,
and as the attorneys were unable to
agree upon date the court fixed the
date of the hearing for Wednesday,
Sept. 18th at 10 O'Clock and the pris-
oner was remanded to the district
judge to fix bail

Carl Schurz has written letter to
Secretary Gage, of the treasury, in
which he advocates the passage of a
law which would prevent Bryan,
should he be elected president, from
doing anything that would affect the
finances of the country or in the least
discredit the gold standard. Carl
Schurz presents pretty spectacle
pleading for the election of man for
president, whom he openly admits,
must have law passed so that he
cannot do injury to the financial sys-
tenn of the nation, or destroy its credit
by his acts. No stronger reason has
been given why Mr.. Bryan should not
be elected to that important position
than this letter of Mr.. Schurz A man
who it is openly admitted must be
bound by law so that he cannot do
harm to the country, is not the man
the people want for its chief execu-
tive.

One of the strong speeches of the
campaign was that delivered by Sena-
tor Nelson at Alexandria on Satur day
evening last. 1t was devoted to the
administrators side of the Philippine
question, and was strong calm, un-
biased statement, of the facts in the
case. 1t is in short brief summary
of the Philippine question and will
give the busy man better idea of the
matter than can be obtained from al
most any other source The facts are
all there, and little time spent will
show one the true situation there and
not some ones version of it. Senator
Nelson is entitled to the thanks of
Republicans and the people generally
for such plain putting of the facts
in the case.

FRUITS AND PRODUCE.
The Butter Market Remains Firm..frui S
of All Kinds in Good Supply.

The Minneapolis Times, in its re-
view of business in the northwest
for the week, says:
There were few price changes in
fruits and produce the past week, the
market holding to very firm basis
Butter is firm and while there have
been no price changes during the
week, the general tone indicates that
present prices will be maintained and
may possibly be advanced. Receipts
are fair and the shipments keep stocks
down to satisfactory limits. Specula-
tors are good buyers and retailers are
liberal purchasers, especially of the top
grades. Medium and low grades are
not in good demand, but supplies are
light and prices are we'll maintained
Eggs are frmer and with an improved
demand for shipment and good buy
ing by storage houses the price has adj
vanced &c over the quotation for last
week. Receipts have been moderate
SOnoluCl1uS IuO uSuduu. anu UAC
shrinkage has been large Live poul-
try, with the exception of mixed tur-
keys, show no change from a week
ago. The preference is for young
stock. The receipts of both fowls and
chickens are liberal, but unless there
are increased receipts prices are not
likely to go lower.
Sowing to the unusually heavy
rains in some sections of the northwest
wet rot has damaged potatoes and the
price has been advanced cents per
bushel. In sections not thus affected
the crop promises to be good yield.
Some few varieties of vegetables have
been marketed to lower level be-
cause of increased receipts, but as a
whole the the changes are of minor
Importance. West coast fruits are
higher on account of a limited supply
and very good demand The arrival
of fall varieties Of apples continues
heavy and the outlet is good. Winter
apples from Michigan, Indiana and
Illinois are expected on this market
during the week. The crop promises
to be large one and the quality is
said to be excellent. Grapes are being
received more literally from eastern
and southern points, and Minnetonka
grapes have been on the market and
were easily disposed of. The season
for fall peaches is at hand, and the
prospects are for heavy arrivals and
moderate prices. Oranges are in small
supply and values are consequently
held to a firm basis. Lemons and ba-
nanas are in large demand at former
values. -
