JONES ON MINNESOTA.

Democratic National Chairman
Thinks Bryan May Carry 1t.
Senator J. K. Jones, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, who is
at Lake Minnetonka, says he believes that
Minnesota can be carried for Bryan and
Lind. He says:
Il think we ought to have a chance to
carry Minnesota this fall-in fact a good
chance. There 10 a. large German popula-
ton in this state, and 1 believe they will
be with US because of the 1mperialistic
policy Of the Republican party.
''Then, too, Gov. Lind is personally
very popular. He has given the people a
good, clean administration. His record
should strengthen the Democratic party
from top to bottom,= and I believe it
will"
Asked as to the issue upon which the
campaign would be made Mr.. Jones said:
The Kansas City platform declared the
question of imperialism to be the leading
issue, and I believe 1t will be.
1.-THE silver question can wait The
question of imperialism is insistent The
people must decide at the coming election
whether this country shall continue in it's
former policy or whether we shall be-
come one of the bullying, 1and-grabbing
nations Of the earth, recognizing no right
save that of might; no justice save that
of expe0tency"

]. /. SCHURNE|ER DEAD
AWAY LAST NIGHT AT HIS
HOMIE
HAD BEEN Ill A LONG TIME
HIS Death Had Been Looked for
at Any Time for
the Last Few
Weeks.

John H. Schumacher, the pioneer wagon
maker, and founder Of the Schumacher
Wagon and Carriage company, died at
1918 O'Clock last night at the home, Az
Rosabel street, where he had lived for
upward Of forty years, buying the prop
erty before the native brush had been
cleared from 1t.
Mr.. Schumacher was seventy-two years
Of age, and had suffered from a chronic
organic atlment for several months. Dur
ing the last few weeks his recovery has
been despaired of.
Mr.. Schurmeier married Caroline Wen
EEL of st. Louis, in 1S4O, and they have
had eight children.
Maj 7. M. Newson, in his Pen Pic
tures," had the following to say of Mr.
Schumacher: "Mr. Schumacher was born
in Germany In 1925, and in 1848 he and his
brother were engaged In making wagons
in st. Louis. He came to st. Paul In 1852
and started in business in a small way,
which has now grown to large proper
tons. His shops on RosabeI street, near
Seventh, are very extensive, his machin-
cry being driven by a f1fty-horse power
steam engine, and he employs over fifty
men. The property he purchased when
he first came to st. Paul has become very
valuable, and Is increasing In value every
day. During all these long years, from
1852 up to 1884. Mr. Schurmeier has never
faltered or stopped, and his continued
careful and prudent method Of transact
ing business has made him a rich man"
when Mr.Schurmeier bought his prop
erty on Rosabel street 1t was covered with
hazel brush and trees, and was thh sleep
ing place Of the Indians.
Mr.. Schurmeler is quite an unostenta-
tious man, very deliberate In his move
ments, yet far-seeing and sagaeIous In
material interests. Whatever money he
makes in his business he puts into real
estate. and gets about as mich comfort
out Of life as any man I know.
