Two Fellows 6unco Peter Warshawsky Out
OF $40 Worth Of Clothing

Last Thursday two fellows walked
INTO Peter Warshawsky's store and
gave him big tale about their being
brakemen on the ST. Paul road. They
represented that they were on the ore
trains running ont Of here and that
they wanted 10 20 20 the dance that
evening but had no clothes iit to wear
Burns asked for credit on pair Of
cheap pants Peter looked the fellows
Overland decided that they were telling
the truth He has quite a trade with
the railroad boys and agreed 70 let
them have the pants until Saturday,
which is pay day on the road. Before
negotiations had been broken or, a
suit Of clothes and pair Of shoes had
been added to Burns bill and consi-
derablc stuff to Murray'S account.
After they had gone, Peter got sus-
picious and began To look them up.
He found that they were not railroad
men and were not known to the men
on either road. lie then looked up
the fellows and found them in the
opera house saloon. Burns had the
"togsn on at the time and when he
saw Warshawsky he got suspicious
and ran away. Marshal Manning was
set on his tracks and about a half
hour afterwards found him hid In the
railroad ice house. He was placed in

ON AUGUST Is
CANDIDATES AND COUNTY CON.
MITTEE DECIDE UPON DATE.
UNIFORM PRIMARIES ASKED FOR

ing Chairmen to Call Primaries
~ Instead Of Caucuses.

Candidates for county Offices ON the
the Republican ticket will be placed
in nomination on August 25. That
date was set upon at conference OF
the candidates and the committee
members in the court house last Tues
day. The full committee was not
present but enough members were
there to transact business. Chairman
lobe presided and Secretary O'Brien
was ON hand also The several candi-
dates were given a chance TO make
their wishes known and after the
views OF all had been given IL was
found that the date OF August 25th
was satisfactory To all and on motion
the county chairman was asked TO
issue the call for that date.
Iron River was selected as the place
for the convention and then the com
mittee turned their attention to the
mode of choosing delegates from the
several precincts. The matter was
canyassed at length and ended in a
resolution being introduced asking
that all township chairmen issue calls
for primaries TO be held on the same
date, said date TO be selected by the
chairman OF the county committee.
This latter resolution will not affect
many Of the township as all but three
have been holding primaries for
several years and the plan works well.

THE IRON MARKET.
The Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF the
Week In Iron Circles.

The Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF the
Week In Iron Circles.
The story Of actual developments In
the iron market week by week sounds
tame at time when interests outside
the iron trade are celebrating in ad-
vance the return Of good times. SEN
timent Is better, undoubtedly, and
this better feeling has helped some
sellers Of pig iron TO take stand, so
that IL may turn out. for example,
that ~ for Southern No , foundry
iron will not be seen again this year
on ordinary lots. But there Is a diff
ference, not appreciated in some
quarters, between seller at bay, with
back to the wall, refusing to do busi-
ness at a loss, and the beginning Of a
new movement bearing the label OF
genuine improvement.
The Pennsylvania tunnel contracts
have been the chief feuture Of interest
in the past week, since after months
of negotiation, the castings for both
tunnels and the pig iron for the cast
ings are either covered by signed con-
tract or on the eve of being placed.
The Wheeling Mold & Foundry Co.'S
is reported to be the only signed con-
tract at this writing and its inquiry
for $4,000 tons OF iron is out. The
Davies < Thomas Co., Catasauqua,
Pa, has substantially closed for 1900
tons of the East River castings. A
large Central Western furnace interest
Is expected to receive this week
large share OF the pig iron deliveries
extending into 1907. This single con-
tract may amount To as much as
l25, 900 tons. The prolonged deliveries
make the entire tunnel business less
significant than the tonnage would
imply and some of the bids on pig iron
Indicate that few furnaces, at least,
do not expect high prices in the next
two or three years.
The general pig iron situation has
to the extent that leading
Southern producers have put their
prices peg higher. Inquiries have
been rather more numerous, but
Southern furnaces cannot get any
great amount Of business for Central
Western delivery at 1926 or $3.50 at
furnace as long as Northern furnaces
in that territory are willing TO sell at
sll.75, and in some cases 25c lower az

Case OF Weeks g. Co. VS.. Crystal Falls Put

Over Until the Next Term.
When the docket was called over in
the United States Circnit court at
Marquette last week it was stated
that the notice for trial had been
countermanded i'm the case OF Weeks
Il Co. agaitst the city of Crystal Falls.
This action was surprise to, many
as it was understood that the case
was to be disposed OF as quickly as
possible.
A Diamond Drill reporter called upon
Attorney Abbot in regard to the
matter during the week and from
him we learned trat the notice had
been countermanded by the attorney
for Weeks & Co.

Last Days Work.

Chicago, June 24.-The swift, sure
current of public opinion for the Sec
ond time in the history of Republican
conventions resulted in the selection
of national ticket without dissent
ing vote. Theodore Roosevelt for
president and Charles w. Fairbanks
for vice president received every vote
in the convention.
Regardless of the fact that the NOM
nation of one had been assured for
months and the other for days, the
announcement of the choice was &C.
companied by resounding demon
stration which attested the candidates
universal popularity. The cheering
was led by figures known the breadth
Of the land and echoed by mighty
throng of enthusiastic men and radi.
ant women assembled in the Coliseum
to witness the GROWING feature as
we'll as the close of the national con-
vention that marks the semi-centen-
NAL of the Republican party in the
United States.
No less than 10000 men and women
participated in the ratification of the

party program and the consequent
roar Of cheering and hand-clapping
was deafening. The band stationed
high among the Orders of the hall
was drowned by the tumultuous and
unbounded demonstration. Hats were
tossed in the air, state emblems we're
waved. and flags futtered from every
hand as though stirred by gale.
When Governor Black of New York
made his speech nominating President
Roosevelt to succeed himself as presi.
dent the delegates in the Republican
convention showed there is no alb
sence of enthusiasm in their ranks
when occasion justified exhibition Of
that quality. For twenty-five minutes
the great throng told its appreciation
of the conventions choice for presi-
dent. The name of Roosevelt came
from every mouth. The New York del
egates paraded the hall, shouting at
the tops of their voices. Other dele
cations joined the procession and the
well-ordered body of half an hour be-
fore was shifting mass, every SEM
blance of organization gone. While
the demonstration was at its height
Chairman Cannon stepped to the front
of the stage. He held in his hand the
banner which was waved in 1860,
when Lincoln was nominated, and
which has been used in every conven-
ton since. The flag showed the wear
and tear of many similar contests.
Uncle Joe" waved 1t vigorously and
kept time with his body. Soon the
whole convention was swaying in ex-
act measure. The chairman retired.
and his place was taken by young
man. who took the flag and, with a
megaphone. led the yelling. He start
ed to call Roosevelt" Roosevelt"
Roosevelt" repeated over and over
again, with the system of a college
yell. 1t was taken up by the throng
and the cry of Roosevelt" rolled over
the hall in volume so great and so
terrific that the screeching of hun.
dred steam whistles would have been
dwarfed in comparison.
At the conclusion of every second
ing speech, the performance was re-
peated. The speakers themselves
were generally applauded.
When Senator Fairbanks had been
nominated for vice president there
was no dimiuution in the demonstra-
ton. Voices were hoarse, but the
noise for the second choice was just
as unanimous as 1t was in the first
Instance.
When Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri
and Georgia were called, announce
ment was made that the candidates. of
favorite sons had been withdrawn.
The entire vote therefore was cast
for Senator Fairbanks.
The usual resolutions of thanks to
officers of the convention and to the
committees on arrangements were
adopted and the great body was ad-

Prof. Wood closed his term of
school last Saturday and they went
up in Douglas township the first of
the week to visit her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. r. M. Dickey.
The following persons purchased
buggies of the Elkhorn Implement
firm: Jens Anderson, Tom McKever,
Bert Mertons and Rasmus Nielsen,
and G. w. Hansen his fine rubber
tire.
A few friends were invited to the
hospitable home of Chris Petersen
east of Elkhorn last Saturday night,
and enjoyed quiet dance and the
pleasant compapionable society of
their kindly host.
The young people Of this vicinity
were at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Liested, west of Elkhorn last
Saturday night and enjoyed them
selves in the light fantastic until the
morning hour called them home.
Word came back the first of the
week from Mrs. Lars Larsen near
kimballton, who went to Atlantic to

There was special missionary SER
vice at the Botanic church last Sun
day. The musicians from the Elkhorn

Poplar is to have Danish school
ere long. Carl Larsen who taught in
the Elkhorn school last winter, is
soon to open Danish school there
and his services will surely be appre-
ciated by those who patronize him.
Rev. Gregersen of the church in
Kimballton goes to Schuyler, Mimi,
next week to speak Oh the Fourth at
that place. This is quite an honor to
speak at this place and tells only too
plainly of his power as an orator and
popularity at that place.
P. H. Miller expected to go to Au-
dubon Tuesday to see j. F. Frazier in
regard to buying the Photographic.
outfit at that place. If Mr.. Miller
should buy it he would still continue
to conduct his Elkhorn place, having
his sister to do most of the work at
that point.
G. w. Hansen of Elkhorn purchas-
ed rubber tired, bicycle buggy the
first Of the week that matches in
every way his harness and fine team.
1t is one of the finest ever been in
this vicinity and the young ladies
fortunate enough to get to ride in it
may feel truly honored.

short stay. 1t came as beautiful
bud of promise but was called by the
unseen hand to blossom in fairer gar
dens beyond. The funeral service

Second Days PROCEEDINGS.

Chicago, June 23.-Because Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon was the central fig
ure, the proceedings of the Republic
an national convention took on pic
turesqueness and demonstrativeness
which on the first day was looked for in
vain. From the moment he was es-
corted to the platform to WELD the
gavel as the permanent chairman the
entire atmosphere of the convention
changed. Enthusiasm which had lain
dormant burst forth and the applause
rang true and hearty. He made
q speech and the audience cheered
whenever he spoke jocularly or in Sc
rious vein. He was the entertainer;
in fact, he was the convention. From
the standpoint of political importance,
the adoption of the party platform
was the event of the day. 1t con-
tanned declarations of party policy
that are to form the basis of much of
the oratory in the coming campaign.
Live party enthusiasm aroused by
the hearty reception given Uncle
joe Cannon. as he is known from
coast to coast, spread even to routine
business and eliminated in contest
over the number of delegates to which
Hawaii was entitled. The conflict
was the first and will doubtless be
the last. on the floor Of the convention.
Tho report of the committee on rules
accredited two delegates to Hawaii.
Senator Foraker offered an amend
ment, increasing the number to six
Aslegates. The opposition came from
We supporters Of movement to limit
tho representation of territories and
other voteless districts. 1t was dis.
posed Of through an amendment to the
rules offered by Representative Bing-
ham. chairman Of the committee. He
proposed that the representation here
after should be two delegates from
Hawaii. but that the six delegates
already seated should not be dis.
turbed. 1t was carried by a vote Of
l97 to 400.
The report of the committee on ere.

only so far as IL dealt with the Wds-
ccnsin situation. Senator McComas

which was made into the merits of
the contest, despite the fact that the

contestants had withdrawn their
claims on the ground that fair treat
ment could not be had. The report
closed with declaration that the
"stalwart" faction, led by Senators
spooner and Quarles, Representative
Babcock and Judge Emil Baensch, the
four delegates-at-large is the regular
Republican party in Wisconsin. This
national endorsement of the faction
headed by the two United States SEN
ators from that state evoked pro-
longed applause.
Following is the tariff plank:
Protection which guards and develops
our industries is a cardinal principle of
the Republca. party. The measure of pro-
lection should always at least equal the
home and abroad. We insist upon the
maintenance of the principles of protec-
ton. and therefore rates of duty should
be readtuSted only when conditions have
SO changed that the public interest de.
mands their alteration, but the work can
not be safely committed to any other
hands than IL sse of the Republican party
To entrust It to the Democratic party
Is to invite disaster, as in 1892. the Demo
cratic party decided the protective tariff
unconstitutional, or whether 1t demands
tariff reform or tariff revision. its princi.
pal object Is always the destruction of the
protective system. However specious the
name, the purpose Is ever the same.
Democratic tariff has always been followed
by business reverses, Republican tariff
by business prosperity. To a Republican
congress and a Republican president this
great question can be safely entrusted.
When the only free trade country among
the great nations agitates a return to pro-
lection the chief protective country should
not falter in maintaining 1t.
We have extended widely our foreign
markets and we believe In the adoption
OF all practicable methods for their future
extension. including commercial reciprocity

effected consistent with the principles of
protection and without injury to American
