COUNTY FULL OF EN-.
Agents for Everything are lnaicting
the Farmers.

The country is full Of agents. They
seem to have heard Of the big wheat
crop and the farmers prosperity and
are thick in the agricultural districts
They are selling sewing machines,
groceries, clothing, maps, etc., and
are making life burden for the
farmer and his wife. A company OF
stove and range agents is headed in
this direction and will soon be doing
business. People should remember
that the home merchants will give
them better goods at lower prices
than any agent and that the mer'
chant will be here to make omissions
or errors good while the agent will
put off the cheapest possible material
and then skip far away, never to bt
heard Of again. Men and women o
sense deal with their home mer
chants and we hope Dickinson count.

WILL WHOLESALE MELONS.
Sand Hill Melon Raisers to Leave 10.
cal Market

The watermelon crop Of the sand
hills west OF town will be hummer.
The vines are rank and strong and
the season has been exceedingly IA
vorable for the product. Last year
all the melons were sold from wagons
to local trade, but the business has
grown too large for that and for the
first time the melon.raisers will this
year sell melons at wholesale, ship
ping them In carload lots TO the east
ern market. They will only get
about 8 cents apiece for the melons
and will furnish good ones at that,
but 1t will beat throwing them away.
The local trade will be supplied from
the remainder OF the fields and there
is little doubt that plenty will be fur
nished to keep the court house gang
and other melon.ie asters content.

Columbus, o., June 13.--The Nc
Lean men controlled the preliminary
meetings yesterday in the democratic
state convention. 1t Is claimed that
the Mclean men, in securing control
of the party organization last night
for another year, have all they wanted
and although they could control ev'
erything to-day, as they also have
maiorites on the convention COM
mittees, that there will be a free-for-
all contest for the state ticket and
delegates and alternates-at-large to
the Kansas City convention. The OPP
position to Mclean comes from silver
extremists. The ultra silver delegates
also appear to be dissatisfied with the
proposition to indorse Admiral Dewey
for the vice presidential nomination.

effect no compromise and yesterday
both parties-Wolverton and Marcum,
candidates for national committee
man--clectcd two sets of contested
delegates to the Kansas City conven-
ton. The fight was the bitterest IN
the history of the territory and street
fights were numerous. Resolutions
were passed endorsing Bryan; de-
nouncing republican idea OF expan-
sion: demanding that Indians DC
treated fairly and justly and none OF
their treaties be changed or amended
without their consent; favoring home
rule and expressing sympathy for the
3oers.

scHLEY WILL NOT SERVE.
The Rear Admiral Writes Concerning the
Provusition to Nominate Him for Vice
President ON the Democratic Ticket

Philadelphia, June 13.-The Times
to-day says editorially: The name
of Rear Admiral Schley has been re-
peatedly suggested as on the list from
which the democrats would be likely
to choose their candidate for presi-
dent or vice president, but all who
know the views of Rear Admiral
Schley uniformly declared that such
use of his name was not only unwar-
ranted, but against his own distinct
ly expressed wishes and purposes.
He was specially careful before going
to sea in command Of the South At
lantic squadron to declare to his
friends that under no circumstances
would he consent to become politi-
cal candidate.
Notwithstanding the publicity
given these repeated and emphatic
declarations of Rear Admiral Schley
he has been frequently discussed as
candidate for the vice presidency
on the ticket with Bryan. The ex-
preston from the rear admiral OF re-
fusal to accept public office has just
been repeated by him in private let
ter to the editor of the Times dated
Rio Janeiro, May Is, from which the
following extract is taken;
"Your editorials touching the talk
Of placing me in nomination with
Mr.. Bryan reflect precisely what my
views are. I know nothing OF poll
ties nor of political life, and under
no circumstances would | allow the
use Of my name before any conven-
ton for any Office whatever. | have
passed the age when presidential or
my other kind of bees worry me. !
know nothing of the duties of any
political office, and am fully content
to live the years yet left me in quiet
retirement from the turmoil OF any
Office. am resolved irrevocably not
to accept any nomination II 1t were
rendered, and II in my absence !
should be elected, | would not serve"

though they played a splendid game
and used their heads in every play.
The dash and brilliance Of tn North

ends, caused frequent gasps for breath
on the part OF the 5000 Minnesotans
who were out to see the game despite
the cold and threatening weather.
This was only in the early part OF the
first half, however. The grand stand

HARNESS ON THE MISSOURI.
Wonderful Things Claimed for n
Invention.

Mr.. Muth, a mechanical engineer and
inventor, has apparently solved the
problem of Harvesting the immense
power of the Missouri river, which is
now going to waste, and using 1t for
practical purposes. Patent has just
been applied for, so Mr.. Muth is not
entering into the details of his inven-
ton. An examination, however, which
was allowed showed a simple looking
machine made to work under the cur
rent so that ice win not interfere with
it's usefulness.
A four-foot wheel or experiment
yields a tested pressure of 200 pounds,
with a probability of much greater
pressure when perfected. This brings
within the probabilities a power great
enough to pump Missouri water into
the city for drinking and fire purposes
and also for manufacturing and light
ing purposes. The wheel has already
been submitted for examination to
leading experts, who pronounce it en-
tirely practical and capable of &C
complishing all its inventor claims for
it. A practical test on a large scale
will soon be made.
