The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1900-11-03

There is always danger that a can
didate's friends will not worry about
him if he has an apparent walkover,
but M. w. Fitzgerald is not suffering
from the .over-confidence of his sup
porters. While the only question is
the size of his majority, they are busy
increasing it.
Julius Block, the Republican candi-
date for treasurer, is carrying on his
campaign under adverse conditions.
A, few weeks ago his son had very
near fatal accident from the effects Of
which he is still laid up, and now Mrs
Block is so seriously i'll that her hus-
band can only leave home for a few
hours at time.
The election Of Michael W.. Fitz-
gerald, Republican candidate for reg
lister of deeds, is, generally conceded,
the Democrats making no claim that
their man will beat him. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has, proved himself, as chief
deputy Of the county clerks Office, an
official of sterling merit, and will be
credit to the county as register Of
deeds. l''

Frederick Clement Stevens, who is
at present representing the Fourth
district Of Minnesota in Congress for
the second term, has been nominated
for the third term, which is the best
evidence possible that he has pleased
his constituents for the past four
years. He. needs no Introduction to
the patrons of The Appeal as his elo-
quent, manly speeches on many occa-
sions, both in and out of the halls
OF Congress have made for him a
warm place in their hearts. Moreover
he practices what he breaches, for he
now has as his stenographer Mr.. F.
D. McCracken. And, as we will need
just such men in the next Congress
to help reduce the congressional rep
resentation in those states South
where the Afro Americans have been
disfranchised all Afro-Americans
ought to vote for him.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1900-11-03

Congressman Stevens is receiving a
good deal Of commentator for his
brisk fight in all parts Of the Fourth
district. He has been complimented
for doing what he can for the state and
county tickets with his telling
speeches, for there has been no doubt
of his own election by a much larger
majority than he had over John W.
Willis.
F. C. Stevens is campaigning
throughout the whole Fourth district
with the sole purpose of rolling up such
a majority that he will be given a
better standing and power to be of
more use to his constituents in Con-
gress than he has been in the past.
About the efficiency of Mr.. Stevens
past work, there is nothing but COM
mendation possible.

The people of st Paul were treated
to a rare feast Of oratory, statistics,
Republicanism, sound logic and good
common sense Thursday night by
Hon. Madison Vance, of Louisiana,
and Prof. Henry Arnett, of Ohio, who
came to the city under the direction
of the National Republican committee.
The gentlemen addressed large meet
ing of the Central Colored Republican
Club at Twin City Hall, presided over
by Mr.. w. T. Francis, a large number
of ladies being in the audience. They
also spoke at a meeting of the Fourth
Ward Republican Club on Cedar street,
presided over by Mr.. Will Johnson.
At each of these meetings they created
much enthusiasm and carried their
hearers by storm. At each meeting
they were questioned by members of
the opposition party, but they were
ready with answers that very much
disconlforted their questioners There
was number of other speakers at
each meeting. Refreshments were
served at each meeting, ice cream and
cake being on the bill of fare at Twin
City Hall. They were guests of the
Astoria Hotel during their stay in the
city. They were treated to a carriage
drive about the city by Mr.. T. III. Lyles
in the afternoon and after the speak
ing were pleasantly entertained by a
i party of gentlemen until a late hour.

A YOUNG PROSPECTOR'S FIND.
Discovered u Fortune In tho Earth
Which Others Passed Unnoticod.

winch otneTs
Relative to fortunate mining ven
lures, says a westerner. know of one
peculiar case connected with the town
of Pierce, Arizona. One of the prlnci-
pal owners of the exceedingly prosper
Gus copper mine at that place is Sena-
tor Penrose Of Pennsylvania. For
years there had been alongside the
road near the place an outcropping OF
ore that looked something like cop
per, but 1t excited no particular atten-
ton until a comparatively short time
ago, when one day young prospector
who had been tramping all around the
territory passed along the road to
Pierce. His eye rested on the ore at
the roadside, and he filled his satchel
with it. Then he took good view OF
the surrounding country and satisfied
himself that there was plenty moro
such ore right there. He took the ore
to Bisbee and had 1t assayed. AS he
expected, IL proved to be rich with
copper. He went back and dug In an
other place and took more samples to
Bisbee. The assay was even more ia
vorable All this time the outcropplng
was in plain view Of other prospectors
passing through the neighborhood
This young man, whose name | have
forgotten, but who was personal
friend OF Senator Penrose, put 1000,
all he had, in the land surrounding the
spot where he had picked up the ore,
and he interested Senator Penrose and
others in the venture. Mining was be-
gun. and proved profitable from the
outset. Now the property is valued at
several millions Of dollars. Think OF
experienced prospectors passing that
outcropping by the roadside time after
time and never stopping to inquire into
the real value OF the ore.

The Spread OF Contagious Diseases

The responsibility Of those persons
who supply the public with food and
drink is not sufficiently realized by the
community at large. Not long since
a number of cases of diphtheria broke
out in a neighborhood. The disease
was of very severe type, and, in sew
eral instances, proved fatal after two
or three days Illness. 1t seemed i'm
possible, at first, to trace the conta-
gion to it's source, but after a thor
ough canvass of the vicinity 1t was
discovered that a dealer in milk had
in his family couple OF cases of diph-
liberia. He professed ignorance of the
cause of the children's sickness, and
even when assured of its nature,
claimed that he had no idea that il
could be conveyed in milk. The fact
that parents do not know how chill
dren could have contracted this dis
ease often acts as a check upon any
efforts to combat it, insisting that as
the little ones have not been exposed
to this malady it certainly must be
something else that ails them. When
illness of this sort breaks out in
family the only proper course is to
have it investigated at once. Delays
are quite sure to be disastrous If not
fatal, and in the present condition OF
medical knowledge on this subject,
there is reasonable hope of relief IL
attention is given when the first
SYMPTOMS Of illness manifest them
selves.

speak of one bullet which entered the
top of the head, passed down through
the brain into the mouth and finally
out at the side of the neck. A little
headache and slight squint in one eye
were the only perceptible effects, and
recovery was complete and rapid. In
many cases the abdomen, bowels and
liver have been penetrated almost
without inconvenience. Wounds pierre

decision, and he whom he addressed
was Don Gordon, as they strolled in
company along a narrow track by the
side Of winding nullah, on their way
back to mess at the Tirah camp.
1t was nearly three weeks since the
lover had hidden Lille farewell, and
she 1t was who was under discussion
now.
Don's cheek was flushed, and his dark
eyes glowed ominously as their glance
followed the clouds of pale smoke from
the cheroot he pulled for several min
utes in proud silence.
That he had never contemplated Cap
tain Derwent's blunt refusal OF his suit
was very certain, by the easy assurance
with which he had courted and won
Lilies own consent.
"You say 1t is impossible your daugh-
ter should ever be my wife?" Don
spoke at last, with painful distinct
ness.
1t was characteristic of Don's nature
that he was rarely reused to passion;
but, once reused, it was deep and last
ing: and by the pallor that had re-
placed the flu IN upon his face It was
too evident he was moved to passion
now.
Perfectly impossible, my dear fel.

you know"
Since you have told me so much,
should like that you will tell me more

betrayed the fire at his heart. MAY

officer, somewhat sharply. IF your OWE
| common sense does not tell you my
chief reasons, then you must pardon
| my being outspoken. You've said your.
self you haven't a rupee beyond your
pay and what your uncle, Colonel Cor.

by what he deemed effrontery on Don's
part. MY daughter should be hon.

young bucks who have been away to

into savagery and discarded white

All Of the dancers inflicted numerous
wounds upon themselves with knives,
stones and sharpened sticks. Cutting

thongs of leather through them and

Master of the Stea IN.

There Is one thing for which an en-
gineer is noted. This Is the absolute
obedience of orders. He is brought up
on that from the time he starts to fir
ing till he becomes a graduate and
takes charge Of an engine. Then he
becomes the instructor of others, and,
of course, never loses the main point.
There is a story told illustrative OF
this. Two men were applicants for
positions On one of the railroads in
Boston not long ago. They both want
ed to be engineers, and there was but
one place vacant. The superintendent
before whom they appeared asked one
a question, which ran after this fash
ion: Suppose you were on siding
with orders for a train to pass. A
message would go over the wire that
the oncoming train for which you were
waiting was two hours late. What
would you do?" The first one was
asked the question, and he pulled his
hat down over his face and said: Il
dunno. That is the conductors job,
not mine" The superintendent said
he might leave his address, and if they
needed him they would drop him a
line. The second man was standing at
respectful distance, with his cap in
his hand. and was asked the same
question. 81 tell you, sir" he said.
IF the orders looked all right. and l
thought the signature was good and
all that, would stand on that siding
forever" Il guess you had better re-
port to the roundhouse for duty" said
the superintendent Journal
