AGROUND ALL NIGHT
Tribulations of an Excursion Party
From Winona.

WINONA, M1NN.-Winona excursion
lists, over 1000 strong. who yesterday
went to La Crosse on the steamer J. s.
arrived home at 7 this morning, tired out
after spending the entire night on the
river. The boat made the trip down all
right, but coming back struck time and
again on sandbars. ,-
There We're no sleeping accommodations
for the big crowd and before morning the
cdibles gave out The longest delay was
on a bar between La Noble and Homer.
Government barges were used here to
tighten the big boat.
When near Homer a fog settled down
and the boat had to tie up until 1t lifted.
Most of the passengers were unloaded at
the Laird Norton dock. the boat ground
ing again in an attempt to get over the
bar to the levee. The trip back from La
Crosse took about fifteen hours.
The proposed park system, which was
to include a beautiful driveway around
the lake, received a serious setback by
a decision of the district court. Some
time ago the park board appointed ap-
praisers who assessed the value Of the
land to be taken for this purpose Many
of the property holders objected to these
assessments and appealed to the district
court. The decision is wholly In favor o1
the property owners, and in addition to
annuling the decision of the appraisers
and the park board, grants damages fol
expenditures to. the property owners.

WORK OF "YEGG-MEN'
The Robbery at Aberdeen Is Laid at
Their Door.

ABERDEEN, S. D.-Rewards amount
ing to $1,25 have been offered for the
capture of the robbers of the First Nat
ional bank, 81, 900 having been offered by
the bank and $3.50 by the county. 1t IS
believed that the robbery was the work OF
what w. A. Pinkerton, calls yegg- g-men'
a species peculiar to the northwest during
harvest and threshing. Expert bank ana
postoftice robbers take on the habits ana
manners Of hoboes, and consort with thls
class, keeping away from towns 10 De
robbed until some confederate, who Is a
cripple preferably and thus less liable to
suspicion, gets the bank or posto1hce
sized up, makes diagrams and plans ana
turns them over to the real operators
who enter town after dark and leave be-
fore daylight, without having been seen IN
the town.
The ''swag' is planted" and the rob-
bers return to their hobo hangouts and re-
main until the excitement dies down and
then dig up their booty and, II 1t amounts
to enough return to their city haunts IN
the east. In this case the silver stolen
weighed from 275 and 1926 pounds, ana II
was probably difficult proposition TO
handle it, as the bank Is only 100 feet

three men who left Aberdeen early on a

heavy grips, which attracted attention by

| An interesting wager has been made be-
tween Charles Pfeffer, the Eureka banker,
| and H. r. Williams, general manager OF
the Milwaukee railway. Mr.. Pfeffer con-
tends that the amount of wheat shipped
from points west of Aberdeen on the NIL
waukee lines to Evarts, Orient and Linton
will reach G, 200, 900 bushels, or one-seventh
Of the entire crop of South Dakota. Mr.
Williams places the figures lower anc

result of the marketing OF the crop. Mr.
Pfeffer once before had bet with Mr.
Williams on the crop. the Eureke
man wagering that his town Woulc

lost then by only 40, 900 bushels.
The total number Of cattle shipped from

Of the higher. Prices have been about as
formerly, except that some were on a dis
tinctly higher plane, and the market for
No. 4, which has been quotable at from
SO to $10.25, may now be said to be from
S1O.5O to SLOTS, with IS correspondingly
better.
There is a project under consideration
for the location Of a charcoal-burning
plant in some point Of Douglas county. It
is alleged that down pine and other fallen
timber will make a charcoal that will sell,
even if at lower prices than that made
| from live hardwoods.
| Shipments OF lumber from Tie head OF
the lakes for last week were large.
amounting to 1866, 900 feet. There is no
change in rates, but an advance is gen
orally expected on Sept. !. A slight ad-
vance has already taken place in the rate
on iron ore, and others are to be looked
| for.

his neck and dying in a short time. The
passengers received a severe jolting.
A conductor in the caboose was un-
harmed, although three cars beyond him
were derailed. Had Hutchinson re-
manned In the engine he would have
escaped injury, as Engineer Wilson re-

WHY IT DOES NOT MATTER.

~ will not get off the ticket. If j
am to be taken off the tickle because
of my record, what are you going to
do with the head of it?"
Such, it is said, was the declara-
ton of Mr.. John Wattawa, democrat
ic nominee for Lieutenant governor,
when pressure was brought to bear
on him to withdraw from the ticket
and to relieve the convention and
the party Of the very unfortunate
predicament they found themselves
in. Mr.. Wattawa stood charged with
several otfenses, some of which are
said to have been committed in his
practice as pension attorney; an UNI
determined case of accounting in a
kewaunee court, and still another
about securing the assignment of a
mortgage by threats, Whatever Mr..
Wattawa's private character, he APP
pears to have been rather unfortu-
nate in accommodating an unusual
number of charges affecting his pro-
fessional character. Three or four ac-
tions, any of which, if substantiated,
is ground for disbarment, is quite "A
record for II country attorney who
aspires to be elected to the second
place in the state government. But
all this did not appeal to the candi-
date as any reason why he should
get Off the ticket headed as the DEM
ocratic ticket is headed. If he was
to be forced of the ticket because OF
his record, what did the convention
propose doing with the head of the
ticket, Mr.. David :. Rose? |. was an
unanswerable argument, and was SO
acknowledged by those who started
the movement to get Mr.. Wattawa
off the ticket. They recognized the
plain fact that with II ticket headed
by the distinguished name of the
mayor of Milwaukee it does not mat
ter how the remainder of the ticket
is filled out

NOT CANDIDATES.

About three weeks ago, in men,
tionipg parties whose names would
be presented TO the republican coun-
ty convention for consideration, the
Tribune included that of Thomas ii.
Hoskin, Of the town of Mineral Point
rs IA candidate for sheriff. Since
then representative of this paper
has met Mr.. Hoskin, who expressed
his surprise on reading the same. He
says he is not II candidate and has
not entertained any notion of being
one. Then again,the rumor circulated
in some parts of the county that Mr.
John Francis, of this city, aspires to
be sheriff, is entirely out of order
Mr. Francis has declared himself in
very positive manner in the pres
ence Of a Tribune reporter, saying he
wa willing to sign his name to de-
NAL, if necessary. This leaves nc
opposition, so far as known, to Mr.
lewellyn Davis, of Dodgeville, who
has been a pronounced candidate
for sheriff for some time.

ROSE MENACE TO WISCONSIN.

Madison Journal: If the rural
population of the state were amena-
BILE to the same arguments that make
such "a fellow as Rose attractive to
the purlieus Of great city, it would
be a winning stroke. Rut the con-
sentative, home-lovins, law-abiding
people who form the bone and slnew
Of Wisconsin readily understand
such political charlatan as Rose
and instinctively feel that dignity,
substance and substantial progress
do not lie in his direction. LaFoll-
cite may be sensational but he Is
honest. He may he ambitious, but
his record is clean. He may indulge
i'm political maneuvoring for an OBJ
iect, but he is not IL brazen violator
of pledges, no unblushing advocate
of success Irrespective OF ends, no
blatant disavower of the obligations
of principles. The nomination OF
Dave Rose is a discredit 20 the state,
for it assumes that our people APP
prove of political prostitution. The
convention proceedings were an un-
brok en- impeachment of Roses polit-
zeal virtue, score of speeches up
praiding him, either in terrific on
slaught as IL ruthless traitor to the
people, by Donnelly and Bohmrich,
or in more delicate intimations of
Bird and Villas, that devotion to
principle is still requisite for office
even among democrats.
Fears have been expressed that
Rose on thu stump would sweep his
audiences like wild fire. They for
get that the great movement which
resulted in the Madison convention
was born of deep and passionate
insistence for definite reforms on
which the democratic platform is ST.
lent, and to which the light minded
and debonair Milwaukee trifier is II
stranger. We will trust LaFollette-
honest, clean, earnest, passionate--on
the forum against Rose, whether it
be in the pine clearings of the North
or in the crowded districts of the
Fourteenth ward of Milwaukee. A
man with a message is an antagonist
to fear, and LaFollette with all his
faults is Oh fire.
