The Democrats are reported te-be-
considering the matter of calling their
state convention to meet in June,
so as to get ahead Of the Republicans.
They recognize the fact that the Re-
publicans with Gov. Van SAINT will
have an immense advantage, and they
wish to break the force of it If pos
sible. They labor under the belief
that if they can hold their conven-
tion first, and pass resolutions regard
| ing the railroads, trusts. etc., they
will have to certain degree, at least,
the inside track. They forget that the
Republicans, with their record for do
ing things cannot be harmed much, il
any, by any resolutions which the
Democrats may adopt. This scramble
at the last moment to get on to the
band wagon with the people, will moi
! avail them much, when all along they
have made light of the features they
now wish to take advantage of. Al
Congressman Morris said of Gov
Van SAINT as against John Lind, 81
with the governor against any move
democracy can make this year, he cal
lick them by 40, 900 majority.

KILLED BY BY. CA CARS Rs;
Sad Death of VIM. jenkins at
@ Lake Crystal. .lssp
Struck by an Omaha Passenger Trair
While Crossing the Track
Yesterday. IN

A fatal accident occurred at Lake
Crystal Tuesday, = when the west
bound passenger train on the Omaha
road entered the village at 30 p. m.
VIM. e Jenkins, an aged resident,
attempted to cross the track on a
street block or two from the depot,
in front of the train, When he got
on the track it is thought that ne saw
the train approaching, as the fireman
shouted to him, but was unable to
get out of the way quickly enough,
owing to his age and infirmities.
The engine struck him and threw
him from the track, killing him al
most instantly. Both legs and one
arm were broken and other injuries
were sustained. Mr.. Jenkins did not
speak after receiving mis- injuries.
The train was passenger No. 8, that
left Mankato at 10 LOO p. M, and was
in charge of Conductor Monty and
Engineer Foote. No blame seems to
be attached to the train crew. ei
The deceased was an early resident
of the county and was we'll known.
He was eighty-four years of age, and
| was a widower. He made his home
with his son, Chas. Jenkins, q wei
known business man of Lake Crystal
His other children are Ed. jenkins o.
Lake Crystal, VIM. Jenkins of Hanska
and John Jenkins Of Ohio. .....
The accident is deeply deplored b!
all. Mr.. Jenkins was always highl.

family. a 'aa.ae. III '# t.4.

TRAVEL KEEPS UP
Did Not Drop off for May as
was Expected.
No Contest in the C. & N. w. Election
Next Month"; New Live Stock
Rate Under Consideration.

Northwestern railroads continue to
do q good immigration business, al
though the entire middle west is busy
seeding. If the number of landseekers
going into the northwest. May will
increase all previous records for the
month by big margin. The number
of carloads of homeseekers' household
and farming effects passing through
Minneapolis this month has surprised
the immigration agents, who were look
ing for a much smaller movement,
after the big records of March and
April 1t is now estimated that north
western roads will handle twice as
many carloads Of homeseekers' effects
as in the same month of any previous
year.
The number of land buyers coming
into the northwest in June will be
large. AS soon as corn seeding in
Iowa is finished, many farmers in
that state will take advantage Of the
period while the crop is growing to
come north and look over land invest
ments. Iowa concerns that have
bought Canadian lands heavily are
making arrangements to take parties
to Assiniboia and Manitoba.
Indications are that the northwes-
tern railroads are to meet with warm
er competition in Iowa during the re-
mainder Of the year. Southwestern
roads will make more thorough can
vass of that state and threaten to in
wade South Dakota. So far 1T is esti.
mated that the southwestern roads
have been able to secure not more that
% per cent of the homeseekers leaving
Iowa for other sections. James ]. Hill
and others closely interested in the
movement into the northwest believe
that the various states can make still
better showing by advertising more.
The Moore Brothers. who have
acquired several thousand shares oi
Chicago & Northwestern stock, have
turned their proxies over to the officia
proxy committee to be voted at thu
annual meeting of shareholders OF
June 8. This insures, without con
test, the continuation of the presen
management, which is. dominated by
the Vanderbilts.
| No demand for representation OF
the board has been made by thu
Moores or by the Rock Island interest
Nevertheless, it is not unlikely tina
the Moores and their associates will b,
given at least one director out of tn,
six to be elected.

:. Yesterday will be q proud day for
Americans to look back to. The work
the nation bias done for Cuba. the
spectacle never before seen in his
tory. ..of a'nation taking country, .as
by the hand, land leading it along to
the point where it can go. alone. is
truly a magnificent one. What Cuba
will do now remains of course to be
seen. If President Palma continues
as broad minded as he has started
out, it would seem that he might be
able to guide the young republic into
paths of safety. 1t is an island rich
in fertility. and if peace can be main
tanned, it ought to grow greatly pros
porous. In fact it will grow prosper
GUS without doubt if politics to too
great degree are not INDUCED in.
The lesson by the United States under
the hand of Gen. Wood ought to be
a most convincing and lasting one to
the people there The island has been
put in good sanitary shape and the
Cuban authorities ought to see it to
their advantage to keep it so. This
will allow outside capital to go in and
develop the resources of the island.
While there will doubtless always
be feeling in this country that Cuba
should have been annexed to the
United States, the republic in its
greatness took the best course when il
kept its agreement with the Cuban
people, albeit it may have been an
agreement that should never have been
made.
