ATTEMPT AT LYNcHING FAILS.
Idaho Mob Tries to Get Man Who
Killed a Deputy Sheriff.

Blackfoot, Ida, Sept. pas the
funeral procession of Deputy Sheriff
Sweet, who was killed by man named
Conroy, Sunday, while the latter and
his companions were attempting to
rob some section men, was passing the
cemetery Wednesday, a mob was
hastily organized, rope procured and
a rush made for the Jail with the pur-
pose of lynching Conroy. The officers,
however, were too quick for the half
formed mob and with the aid of hastily
sworn in deputies protected Conroy
and persuaded the crowd to dispense.
The feeling is very high and more
trouble is feared.

John Goodnow Will Not Be Removed
as Consul General at Shanghai.

Washington, Sept. 29.-John Good
now of Minnesota, United States con-
sui general at Shanghai, has been
cleared of the charges against him
and will be allowed to continue at his
post. 1t would be more accurate to
say that the charges against him have
not been proved, for that is the sub
stance of the report made to president
Roosevelt by Assistant Secretary OF
State Pierce, who went to China to
Investigate consular affairs in general
and the Goodnow case in particular.
Mr.. Pierce concludes his report, how
ever, with a recommendation that
GOodnow be retained in the service.

IN ORDER TO END THE MATTER.
Wisconsin Supreme Court May APP
point a Master in Chancery.

ROiut q VtdStCt
Madison, Wis, Sept. 29.-While no
formal decision in the Lafollette case
is generally looked for either today
or Friday, it is considered possible
that the supreme court may take some
action in the case on either one Of
these days. 1t is thought probable that
the court may issue an order directing
that the matter be transferred to a
master in chancery who will deter
mine, within a period to be specified by
the court, the facts in the controversy
between the two Republican factions.
AS the matter now stands, the Ques-
ton before the court is one of law en-
tirely, and it possesses no official
knowledge of the facts in the case. 1t
is believed that the master can con-
duct the inquiry and report his findings
to the court in time for it to take &C.
ton within two weeks at the utmost.

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Twenty one ladies were present at the
social meeting of the North Mankato
branch of the Harmonic society of the
st. Johns Catholic church, held yester-
day afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
j. j. Schauss on Belgrade avenue. The
funds realized will be turned over as
usual to swell the total that the four
divisions of this society are raising.
The ladies worked on the quilts and pill
lows, and other pretty articles, which
they will donate to the church fair that
the Harmonic society will hold in the
basement of the st. Johns Catholic
church on Oct. 26 and 27.
At that time the Harmonic society
will take a vote as to what shall be
done with the funds that have been
raised. The society was first instituted
for the purpose of raising the money to
provide pipe organ for the church, but
many members of the society have ex-
pressed preference, that the money
should be used to build steeple upon
the church and equip it with bell. 1t
may be that this will be done first and
the organ bought afterwards, perhaps
some time next spring.
ThA 1nl Of hn lot RI
branch this afternoon attended the gath
ering of all four divisions at the home
of Mrs. Harry Carney in the Security
Flats. A delightful social time was en-
joyed.
John Solomon was this morning weigh
ing load of hay on A. w. Strickland's
scale on Belgrade avenue, where the
platform of the scale broke through un-
der the weight of the wagon. The
wagon was not damaged, nor was the
team frightened. Mr.. Strickland will
put new platform on the scale.
At recent meeting of the w. c. T.
U. of North Mankato, held at the home
of Mrs. F. B. Swain, the following SUI

ers' meetings; Mrs. Loomis, work
among umbermen; Mrs. Tidland, red let
ter days; Mrs. Albrant, systematic CIV
ing; Mrs. Koser, medal contest; Mrs.
Walrath, Sunday school and sabbath
observance; Mrs. Sherk, press work.
The sum of five dollars was pledged for
state work. The subject under discus
sion at the meeting was effects of Evil
Associates" Several selections were
read from The American Mother Quite
discussion followed the readings, and
all the ladies seemed greatly interested.
Nice refreshments were served. The
meeting adjourned to assemble again at
the home of Mrs. Thirza Budde on Oct. g..
- Mrs. S. A. Walrath represented the
North Mankato w. c. L. Z. at the re-

The Vermont Victory.

Not n single crumb of comfort for
the Democrats in the returns from
Vermont, and the headlines and edi-
torial comments in their newspapers
show the depths of their chagrin and
disappointment. The sweeping Repub-
lican victory is far greater than the
most optimistic predictions of the party
leaders. and that the majority is over
81, 900 where it was only $1,000 in the
banner year of 1900 is fact whose
Significance will not be lost upon the
country ut large. The Democrats had
made desperate efforts to cut 1t down
to %. 600 and hoped for Il lower margin
prepared to regard $4,000 as most
satisfactory plurality. To have the
plurality mount to the highest figure
ever known in the State with the single
exception Of the 1896 election is another
omen that this is Il republican year and
that nothing can stem the tide of vic
tory. Just as Oregon in June rolled up
an unprecedented Republican majority
ut its state election. so now Vermont
"a |a''ss 1.:'sts n's ',S%a
plete than that of four years ago. The
East and the West stand shoulder to
shoulder for Roosevelt and Republican,
ism. for honest government and nation
al progress. for protection and pros
perity, for the welfare of the people
and the honor of the flag.
1t is natural for the Democrats to cry
now that the Vermont election is not
of national significance. and that it
does not show the popular political
drift. How different would have been
their song if the Republican plurality
had fallen to less than 10000, as it did
in 1892, or even to the $4,000 mark
which the Republicans hoped to attain.
The Vermont election is important and
significant, and in their hearts the
Democrats know it well. The great
victory Is ii IiitSS'iSe VI CHetT anu
promise to Republicans everywhere.
1t is a call to Maine to stand in line
and not waver in the face of the Demo-
