PARKS WON OUT!
IS NOW JUBILANT.
Convicted Business Agent Seated by
Convention.

Kansas City. Mo. Sept. 23.-After
being in session behind closed doors
since early this morning, the con-
vention of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers at 10 o'clock tonight voted
in favor of seating Sam Parks and
the other delegates from Local Union
No. of New York. There were but
three votes cast against Parks and
his friends.
These were the ballots of President
Buchanan, the Kansas City delegate
and one other. The result was a decid-
ed victory for Parks as it reinstates
him and local No. 2 of New York, Of
which he is the business agent, and di-
rectly repudiates the action of Presi-
dent Buchanan in suspending it. The
Parks delegation will now have seats on
the floor and the supposedly regular
New York delegates are out Of it.
The hearing OF tho Parks case con-
sumed nearly all of the time of the con-
Vention to-day, and was a bitter con-
test. Early in the day when the Gre
dentials Committee had reported,
throwing the contest back to the con-
vention itself Parks saved trouble by
needing the ruling of Buchanan and
Vacdting the hall with his men. Later
during the afternoon he and his men
were called back to plead their own
cause.
Parks was jubliant tonight. He was
escorted from the convention to the
Coates House by a little group of ad-
mirers. Parks did not make much of a
statement after he had won
II knew 1t would go that way" he
said. II knew it all the time. l don't
go into a fight unless l know where I
am at. There was no doubt of 1t; l had
the men with me. This puts me right
back where ! was and is perfectly sat
isfactory. Every one is satisfied and
things are lovely"
President Buchanan declined to talk
about the result.
The Credentials Committee to-day re-
ported favorably on the question of al
lowing inside men, or shopmen, in the
membership. There are 10000 of these
men.

FOUND OUT.

What a Mother Found Out About Food
A mother found out what change Of
food can do for whole family, from the
nursing baby to the adults, in this way:
''Twice during the summer months my
baby was taken violently i'll and was very
slow getting over the attacks. His former
diet Of cows milk alone ceased to agree
with-him, so I combined it with an ex-
pensive infants food, but he soon became
very much constipated.
Then shifted to Grape Nuts food and
found that this was just what baby
needed, adding 1t to his milk after soften
ing In hot water. Baby has thrived upon
this food and Is now healthy and strong
and chubby as any mother could ask,
which, you know, Is saying a great deal
1T did not take me long to find out
that a saucer Of Grape Nuts and cream
is just what is needed by the tired, nerv-
Gus mother, and / have also proved to my
own satisfaction that when the children
are old enough to chew Grape Nuts it is
far better for them than oatmeal or any
other mushy foods, for 1t develops their
teeth and helps their digestion. and their
minds seem much brighter and more act
i've, too.
Truly, here is wonderful food and
one for the entire family" Name given

The MINNIE. ORCHARD
Horticulturists of the State Predict
Rapid Strides in Fruit
Growing.
A. w. Latham Says Minnesota Will
Soon Supply Whole State
With Apples.

Horticulturalists, the Minnesota speci-
mems at least, are the most hopeful peo-t
pie in the state. They insist that in no
line Of farm industry is there so much
progress in the orchard and predict
that before long Minnesota will be produc-
ing apples for the whole state and some of
the neighboring commonwealth. This is
a subject that A. w. Latham, who has
charge of the horticultural department is
ready to talk upon any minute and always
with renewed enthusiasm altho he has
grown gray in fruit raising
I'VE continue to get better and better
fruit displays" said Mr.. Latham this
morning in a talk with VI n | re-
porter. The exhibits on sthese tables
| would be a credit to any state and for
a northern country like Minnesota they
are simply wonderful. There are at least
800 varieties of apples in this hall-most
Of them experimental, of course, but the
| number indicates that our fruit growers
are at work all the time and more at
tention is being given to the cultivation
| of apples. ... ....
Apples are on good basis in this state
already. We have five or six standard
apples here which are grown for the mar
| ket, such as the Duchess, the Wealthy,
the Hibernal, Patterns Greening and the
| Peerless. These are Of fine flavor, a quail
ity in which Minnesota apples excel.
ut will pay our farmers to stop and
talk with Frank Yahnke Of Winona and
T.. E. Perkins Of Featherstone and other
| apple growers. Mr.. Yahnke has some
Wolf River apples which for size and
| beauty will make eastern growers open
| their eyes Mr. Perkins has a splendid
collection of seedlings, 116 varities he
tells me. They are all from the seeds
Of a single tree, a Malinda, and were
planted ten years ago."
The Judges in the horticultural classes
began their work yesterday. Professor
Samuel B. Green, Of the state agricultural
college will judge the apples. Thomas

fcient guarantee Of perfection, extreme
simplicity and durability of the machine
that bears that trade mark.
The extraordinary wet weather of the
past season has brought all manufacturers
of drills face to face with another obstacle
to be overcome. The Owatonna people, as
usual were the first to meet the emer-
gency with their triple disc drill. After
having submitted it to the most severe
tests, it has in every instance been equal
to the OCCASION, and has exceeded the
most sangune expectat lions of Mr.. Dynes,
the patentee of the machine. This drill
is especially adapted to low, marshy, bot
tom lands, gumbo and corn-stalk ground.
The strongest feature that appeals. to
the users of OWatonna machines, and
wherein they differ from all other makes,
is that they use no frame or cog gears.
Another noticeable feature in their favor
is that the wheels are run on a plumb
spoke, giving the machinS a gather the
same as a wagon. These advantageous
points, with the close hitch, have given
them the name Of ''the light running Owa-
tonna machines"

Frank J. Lease Acquires Title to Nos. } and 5 Crooked
 Creek.

One of the biggest bona fide deals of late, involving u consideration of S25,- GOO, cash, was consummated last Tues day, when Dr. Lydia k. Clements dis posed of her interests on Crooked creek to Frank J. Lease for that sum. Mir. Lease arrived in Council in 1898, and since that time has had the great est faith in the future of the Council district, which has not lessened with time, as is indicated by his recent pur- chase. The present deal leaves him sole owner of Nos. 3 and 5 on Crooked. He is also interested in Nos. and 3 on Albion creek, all of which are being developed, and in many other proper ties which have so far received but superficial attention in the way of prospecting. On Nos. 3 and Crooked some 30 men are at present employed, and this force MT. Lease promises to augment as soon as the necessary ar engagements for the accommodation of the men can be made. The claims show up well, and gratifying cleanups are of frequent occurrence.-Council City News.
