Attempt to Revive the Party in

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Sept. 23.-A
strong effort Is to be made to revive
interest in the populist party principles
in Minnesota. Leaders of the party are
rounding up in Minneapolis and tonight
they will meet in convention at the
NicOllet hotel to put a Watson and Tib-
bles electoral ticket in the field. If the
outlook appears to warrant 1t state
ticket may be put in the field. An
nouncement Is made that Thomas F.

strike that that would have turned the
tide of victory?
1T did, though. The third strike
came low and Esau missed it. The gum
on the ball caught his beard and
yanked it between his legs with such
terrific force that he turned a complete
somersault
The Lilies rushed in from the field
to his assistance, but before they could
disentangle the ball from Esau's KAN

crossed the plate with the runs that
won the game.
That put the Lilies in a quandary.
They didn't so much mind losing a

prevent the same thing from happen

at that stage; it would simply ruin the
effectiveness of his delivery
1T was Esau himself who finally
solved the problem. He appeared on the
field in the Roarers game with his
whiskers snugly encased in a freshly
Numbered pillow slip, and so successful
did this cOntrivance prove as a safe
