tents was totally consumed, the fami-

Mr.. Mitton's family removed from
Cresco to Minneapolis last week, Mrs.
Milton and the two younger children
going by the way of Redwing for a
visit of day or two at her old home.
For over two years Mr.. Milton has
been engaged in the manufacture Of
cigars in our town, and if the profess
sions of the republican merchants Of
Cresco who deal in cigars were worth
the breath required to declare them
selves in favor of home industry, he
would be here on the highway to for
tune. But such professions are for
effect, and not to be observed. AS it
is, good, Industrious, worthy family
is compelled to go elsewhere to earn a
living.

The platform reaffirms the national
platform adopted in 1900 at Kansas
City, and contains a plank on state is
sues demanding reformation on taxa
ton laws, repeal of the Mulct liquor
law and enactment of local option law
The chief contest in the convention was
on the adoption of the platform. The
struggle began in the district caucuses
held before the convention in the morn
ing. The anti-silver forces succeeded
in naming majority of the committee
on resolutions. There was a protracted
session of this committee and in the
reports were submitted to the conven-
ton.
The majority report ignored national
issues entirely, combining itself exclus-
lively to state matters. The first minor
ity report agreed with the majority re-
port. except in a preamble which re-
affirmed the Kansas City platform The
second minority report differed from
each of the others in its preamble only,
which set out state affairs were para
mount in this compaign.
Following is the text of the preamble
adopted.

ventiOn assembled, hereby reaffirm the
principles of the plat torn adopted at
Kansas City, In 1900 and without sur
rendering our convictions or abating
our loyalty to our national policies,

should be confined to state issues -

It seems the trio were employed on
the steel gang which is laying new rails
on the Hutchinson branch, and having
resigned their situations, one of their
number. Jack Woods, decided that the
wearing apparel belonging to a fellow
workman, Z. E Limbocker, was much
better than his own, and appropriated
it. They had not been paid off. and
were compelled to come to Newton to
get their checks. When they applied
for their wages, Marshal Ainsworth
was on hand and arrested all three of
them. Iimbocker arrived in the city
last evening, identified his clothing,
which was turned over to him, and as
no warrant was issued for the guilty
parties, they were released, on pay
ment of the costs. But their troubles
did not end here.
While they were attempting to get
their checks Wednesday Mr.. Ainsworth
received a message from the sheriff of
Stafford county to rearrest them and
hold them till he got here, as he was

TWO GUERNSEY HE1FERs.
State Agricultural College Secures
Wonderful Dairy Animals.

Manhattan. Aug 22-The Kansas
State Agricultural college has purchased
two pure bred Guernsey heifers from
Geo. Q. Hill & Son, Rosendale. Wis,
that promise to be wonderful dairy ami
mails. The grand dam of one gave 583
pounds of butter in a year, the great
grand dam 515 pounds and her dam
495 pounds. The average Kansas COW
gives 20 pounds of butter in a year.
The other heifer has a full sister that
gave is pounds of butter in a week and
numbers among her ancestors many
cows that have given from 479 to 600
pounds of butter in a year.
A Guernsey bull, Shylock of Darling
ton was purchased of Charles Solveson,
Nashotah, Wis. His dam gave % pounds
of butter in days, 800 in six months
and sold for one thousand dollars.
The Guernseys are a new breed in
Kansas but promise to be well adapt
ed to the eastern and central parts of
the state as they are large animals
and give a. good yield of very rich milk.
The college has purchased these ami
mails to make a. test Of the breed.

Murphy felt very sore that he was
not allowed to stay here, and the puzzle
IS why Cincinnati did not allow him to

only answer possible is that Brush
wanted to do Freedman a good turn.
