IOWA REPUBLICANS.
Name state Ticket in Conventions
at Des Moines-PIatfOrm
Adopted.

Des Moines, Ia, July 31.-The repub-
lican state convention on Wednesday
named the following ticket:
Secretary of state. W. B. Martin, of
Adair county.
Auditor of state, 3. F. Carroll of Davis
county
Treasurer of state, Gilbert S. Gilbert
son, of Winnebago county.
Attorney general, c. w. Mullan, OF
Blackhawk county.
Judge of supreme court, Scott NJ LAID.
of O'Brien county.
Judge of supreme court (short term),
Charles A. Bishop, Of Polk county.
Clerk of supreme court, John c. Crock
EFT, of Hardin county.
Supreme court reporter, w. w. Corn
wall, of Clay county.
Railroad commissioner, E. A. Dawson,
of Bremen county.
The platform was adopted without
delay and without a dissenting vote.
Nearly LOO delegates attended the
convention, practically full delegations
representing every county. The only
controversy was over the tariff and
trust utterances of the platform, and
that was settled in the committee on
resolutions in favor of a reiteration of
last years utterances, with an addi-
ton to the trust plank congratulating
President Roosevelt for the Inaugural
ton of judicial proceedings to enforce
the antitrust laws. With the excep-
ton of the address of Temporary
Chairman Smith, the convention was
devoid of oratory. No nominating
speeches were made, and the notable
visitors, who included the entire Iowa
delegation in congress, were not called

Culture of Pine.

An experiment in the cultivation OF
pine is being carried on at the ltas-
ca State park, under the direction OF
Attorney General w. B. Douglas,
which will undoubtedly be of value
to the entire Northern part of the
state.
Two years ago Mr.. Douglas secured
an appropriation of $50 a year from
the state legislature for the planting
of trees in the park, and experiments
were made both in raising pine from
seed and in transplanting. The prin-
ciple object of Mr.. Douglas recent
trip to the park was to see how the
trees planted last year and this
spring were getting along.
The experiments with raising pine
from seed gave very unsatisfactory
results, but the results obtained in
transplanting pine trees have been
far better than anticipated.
Twenty-three of twenty-five pine
trees transplanted last year are alive
and doing well. When it was seen last
year that the transplanting of small
pine trees promised to give better re-
suits than raising pine from seed,
Mr.. Douglas consulted with Prof.
Green of the Minnesota agricultural
school, and prominent nursery men,
and after obtaining all the informa-
ton possible from the reports of eN-
periments carried on in Germany de-
cided to try it ON a larger scale.

OUTLOOK FOR CROPS.
Fine Yield of Corn Promise ed in West
ern States-COndftiOn of Other
Cereals Favorable.

Washington, jury 50.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
The corn crop has experienced another
week of exceptionally favorable conditions
over much the greater part of the princi-
pal corn area, the least favorable reports
being received from southeastern Missouri
and southern Illinois, where the crop is
being injured by drought. A fine yield is
promised in Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana
and over much the greater part OF MIS-
souri,, Illinois and Ohio. In Iowa, where
the crop has suffered much in previous
weeks from heavy rains and lack of cult1-
walton, corn is improving, and in the early
fields is caring heavily. In the middle At
lantic states and to the southwark OF the
Ohio river corn has suffered, much from
drought in sections, especially the early
planted.
Showers have prevented the completion
of winter wheat harvest in the lake re-
gion, New England and the northern por-
ton of the middle Atlantic states, where
damage to wheat in shock is quite extern
sively reported; elsewhere harvesting is
completed except on the Pacific coast,
where il is progressing rapidly in oregon
and has begun in Washington.
Late spring wheat needs rain in portions
of South Dakota, and rust is appearing in
North Dakota. but on the whole its con-
ddtion is very promising
Oat harvesting is progressing under diff
culties in the upper Mississippi valley and
lake region, where the crop is badly lodged
and fields in some sections are too wet for
reapers. Notwithstanding these adverse
conditions the general outlook for a large
yield is favorable.
AS a rule the general outlook for apples
continues unpromising, although in some
&c nrnmiSpd
most favorable reports are received from
New England, eastern and northern New
York, Michigan and portions of Illinois.
Kansas and Oklahoma.
The bulk of a good hay crop has been
secured in the states of the central val
leys. In the lake region and northern
portion of the middle Atlantic states hay
ing continues, but has been considerably
delayed by rains and much has been dam
aged

TO BUILD BIG BOATS.
Two Steamers to BE Erected Which
Will Be the Largest Side
wheelers in the World.

Detroit, Aug. 2.-The Free Press an
nounces that at conference between
President Alexander McVittie, of the
Detroit Ship Building company, the
local branch of the American Ship
building company, and General Man
ager w. C. Mcmillan, of the Detroit
and Cleveland Navigation company, a
final agreement was reached for the
building of the two new side-wheel
passenger steamers to oItrank in size
and carrying capacity any side-wheel
passenger steamers in the world. The
estimated cost of the two boats was
given out as $1,700,000, or $S50,000 for
each boat. The boats are to have four
decks, with carrying capacity of
1000 each, and a sleeping capacity of
from 1,1o0 to 1900, with 300 state
rooms. It is announced that the adj
vent of the new boats will probably
involve the extension of the Detroit
and Mackinac run to Petoskey, with
a through service from Cleveland to
Mackinac in 25 hours.

LAST CHANCE GONE.
Action of Cuban Cabinet Prevents tn e
United States from Securing
COaling Station.

Washington, July 31.-Probably the
last chance the navy department had
station in Havana harbor has
been lost by the action of
the Cuban cabinet in authorizing the
lease of the arsenal grounds. This
was the site of the projected United
States naval station, for which it was
admirably adaptes by its position and
depth of water. News of the Cuban
cabinets action has just reached here.
Nothing is expected to be done respect
ing the acquisition of sites for naval
or coaling stations elsewhere on the
islands until next winter.

Lieut.. Davidson had never broken
his technical arrest and he, had never
done any gambling. He did take out
of his yalise $50 bill which belonged
to soldier of his company; part
of sum of money the lieutenant
was safe-keeping for him; and the
soldier gambled it away. On this
slender thread his enemies went to
weaving a conspiracy against him,
and he was dishonorably discharged
from the army. During the past 81
years he has been seeking justice be-
fore congress. He did not know Sen
ator Hoar, and had no friend in con-
gress to take personal interest in
him. He has now, and he will have
the satisfaction of having his record
cleared of those unfair charges.
Another old soldier was met by the
narrator, and he, too, was in good
spirits, for the congress has passed
the bill placing him on the retired
list as a captain. Maj. James W..
Long is well known in the northwest,
particularly in Michigan, where he
served for many years. Before the
committee on military affairs Maj.
Long appeared and told his story as
follows:
81 was appointed by President Lin
coin as second lieutenant, Second in
fantry, August 5, 1861. Was with
my regiment constantly on duty un-
til June 81, 1862, when at the battle
of Gaines Mill L was wounded in the
foot, wrist and face, and thoroughly
disabled for the time. While at
home at Buffalo before the bandages
were taken from my face l was put
on recruiting service. [ returned to
my regiment and was detailed as as
sistant commissary of musters under
command of Gen. Heintzelman. My
right eye was put out at Gaines Mill
and my remaining eye began to
trouble me. Surgeon Basil Norris,
well known in Washington, insisted
that 1 should be discharged for disa-
bility. But 1 was born in the army
and raised in it, and would not give
up. L was promoted to be captain,
joined my regiment on the Kappa
hammock, then went to New York to
suppress draft riots, and again back
to the field. Although suffering IA
cial neuralgia all the time, l particle
pated in the battles of the Wilder
ness and Spottsylvania. l was then
ordered to Annapolis for treatment
of my left eye, and while there re-
manned on active duty in military
command of the officers hospital. l
continued on various field duties I'M
til May Z, 1869, when l was ordered
on duty as Indian agent, being in
cludei in general order providing
for numerous officers who were left
out of their regimental organizations
by consolidation of infantry regi-
ments provided for by act of con-
gress. The order contained these
words: "Should vacancies occur en-
titling them to promotion in the reg
ular army during their term of serv-
ice on such Indian duty, they shall
receive promotion the same as though
on ordinary detached military duty"
While thus serving, Maj. Longs eye
became very weak and painful, and
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-08-08

he finally applied for retirement be-
cause of incapacity. To his surprise,
the examining board refused him re-
tirement, although he had lost one
eve in battle and the other one was
palpably disabled. He applied for re-
lief from duty as Indian agent, and
the necessary order was issued; but
it was sent through the Indian Office
and did not reach him for more than
six months. Not knowing that this
order had been issued; being assured
of being legislated out of the army,
with many others, on December 81,
1870; preferring resignation to being
legislated out, Maj. Long resigned.
During the past 32 years he has been
trying to have the wrong righted, by
act of congress. 1t is done at last.
He is restored to the army as a cap
tain and placed on the retired list.
He will receive $500 per month dur.
ing the remainder of his life. This
will gradually dispose of his embar-
easements, and support his family in
comparative comfort.
man of the house committee on mill
tary affairs, said: 81 am very glad
that Maj. Long has finally succeeded
in getting his bill through both houses
of congress. We have many cases be-
fore the committee, only small pro-
portion of which ever become laws.
Each case is carefully scrutinized, and
you may be sure that only the truly
meritorious cases receive favorable
reports from our committee"
Maj. Long and Lieut. Davidson are
made happy by having lived long
enough to acquire rights which should
never have been taken from them.
Justice is not only blind, but some
times dreadfully slow.

Saved Her Son.

To save her 3-year-old son, Percy,
from drowning, Mrs. Mckenzie was
lowered into a cistern at her resi-
dence, 629 Ottawa avenue, st. Paul.
When the boy fell head first through
the trap door of cistern, Mrs. Nc
Kenzie commanded two women who
lived next door to lower her by the
feet into the cistern. In that way
she was enabled to grasp the drown
ing boy and the two were pulled cut
of the cistern. The boy was resusci-
tated after being rolled over barrel.
