pie for freedom. Finally she fell,
caught her head in some way under the
boards of the wagon bottom, and broke
her neck. Mr.. Roberts accordingly con-
Guided to turn his wagon box into a

Beth Factions Of Republican Party
Try to Get Together.
Convention Meets, Chairman Clapp
Talks and Recess Taken.
This Was Done to Allow Both Sides
to Frame a Plan
For Naming Of Credentials Committee
-..Ycung Endorsed.
From Thursdays Daily.


st. Paul, June 30.-Although the Re-
publican state convention was scheduled
to meet at ten o'clock this morning, it
was Hos when State Chairman jamie
son called the gathering to order. Sena-
tor Clapp was installed as temporary
chairman and he made speech of nearly
an hour in length. Senator Clapp spoke
of the national issues and the coming
campaign. When Mr.. Clapp concluded
his speech a recess was taken until two
o'clock to allow the factions to get to-
gether on a plan. for the naming of a
credentials committee.
The state central committee held a
meeting last evening and decided that
only those delegates who had been sup
piled with credentials from the regular
~ called county conventions should be
entitled to seats in the state conven-
ton prior to the appointment of Gre
dentials committee. This action would
keep all contesting delegations from par
ticipating in the temporary organization
of the convention.
The fight over the credentials commit
tee was settled during the recess by the
selection of committee of fifteen, seven
to be Dunn men and seven to be Collins
men, and Senator Ward of Alexander is
to represent the Eddy faction.
The convention was called to order at
2:35 p. m. by Senator Clapp.
E. B. Wood of Long Prairie moved
that a credentials committee of fifteen
be appointed, and this was seconded by
Mr.. Bower of st. Cloud for Collins and
Mr.. Anderson for Dunn. This was car.
ried without opposition.
United States Marshal W. b. Grim
shaw moved that committee on perma-
nent organization of one from each con-
gressional district be appointed.
Senator Clapp objected to this motion,
and this brought on demonstration
from the Dunn supporters. The matter
was then dropped.
Adjournment was then taken until 9 a.
m. tomorrow.
Governor Van SAINT was a spectator
at the convention, and when he entered
the opera house he was loudly cheered by
the Collins men. w. 81. Eustis occupied
a seat in the balcony and he had
"hopes."
When the Ramsey county Collins dele
cation entered the hall they were greet
ed with cheers by the Hennepin county
Collins delegation.
John Leighton took seat in the
peanut" gallery.
Judge Collins sat in box at the
east of the stage. Bob Dunn was at the
rear of the stage.
The Dunn boilers took seats in the
gallery.

PAVING BIDS.
They Will Be Received BY the City
Saturday Afternoon.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Attorney Carl Taylor of St. Paul will
report to the Barber Asphalt company
the results of his investigation of the
steps taken by the council toward get
ting bids for street paving. If his re-
port is favorable, as it is expected to
be, the company will put in a bid Sat-
urday on the work. If it is not favor
able, the company will put in no bid.
The Barber company does brick paw
ing as well as asphalt, and will bid on
the cutters, which constitute nearly half
of the surface to be paved.
Four other companies besides the Bar
Der company have sent for the paving
specifications. This would seem to in
dicate that several bids will be submit

DESIGNED FOR THE WOMEN.

OINo4INGD ON 411G "O4AAAS4s.
It's the bargain you miss that always
seems the biggest.
A bachelor would rather hold $50
pound girl than ten-pound baby.
Men admire women not because they
are women, but because they are not
men.
A nice even coating of tan is not so
unbeconiing to everybody as it might
be.
Women and children have great way
of doing things because somebody else
does.
Many ladies are now having photo
graphs taken of the back of the figure
as we'll as the face.
Many a good kitchen mechanic has
been spoiled by attempting to fill the po-
sition of stenographer.
GA parlor for ladies thirty-fve feet

tions of summer hotel at st. Louis.
Abiding love, fullest obedience, and un-
firing energy are nececcary elements in
the building of a happy home.
Some good women are like hens in
this, that they will make just as much
fuss over one child as they will over
half dozen.
Married life on the average lasts TWEEN
ty-eight years, or almost half of the
fifty eight which make up the allotted
span of life.
Let out your best thoughts. Learn to
speak softly, to move gracefully, to have
poise and balance-and your individual
ity will be all right.
Three little rules we all should keep
To make life happy and bright
Smile in the morning; smile at noon;
And keep on smiling at night!
There's lots of difference between low
ing man and loving a mans love. The
first is everlasting and the other is just
vision that fades away.
A daughter was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Weber in New York recently with
out eyes, and the physicians claim the
case is without precedent.
Mrs. Margaret Homes Bates, of New
York, says women have grown hand
somer. Their expression has changed for
the better and they are growing wiser
every year.
Do you listen to the children when
they talk, or do you treat them with cold
indifference? There are some characters
being built up around you and it is well
to recognize that fact.
Many housekeepers do not know that
the tiny black specs seen on almost every
lemon are the eggs of an insect. If the
grated rind is used these eggs become on
unwholesome element of the dish.
'To be successful" said the speaker
of the evening at the woman's club,
"all we women have to do is to make
as much of business of our own bust
ness as we do of the things that are none
of our business"
Do you let the flies get into the sugar
bowl? Well, what they eat don't matter
much; it is what they don't eat I'm
caring about. Flies can't eat sugar until
they spit in it to moisten OF, and they
can't eat all they spit on.
The woman bidder-up is invaluable
to the auctioneer. She steps in as
though merely a passer-by, and with a
most innocent air starts in to raise the
bids on bits of china or furniture, and
points out their good points to her
friends, rousing their interest to buy.

Rome is built upon seven hills-the
Capitoline, the Palatine, the Aventine,
the Caelian, the Esquiline, the Viminalfi

Watches and Rings Stolen From John
Peters Farm House.

From Thursdays Daily.
The residence of John P. Peters in
Mankato township was ransacked and
robbed yesterday afternoon while the
family was attending the circus in this
city. Two gold watches belonging to Mr..
Peters were stolen, and also three rings

only few days ago. The rings are said
to have been among her wedding pres

the watches had Waltham movement
The robbery was not reported to the
police until this afternoon. 1t is likely
that the same party who robbed the
other farm houses in that section in the
forenoon did this job also.

An old pasture is greatly benefited
by being narrowed with sharp toothed
harrow until the sod is torn and ragged.
When the warm rains come pasture
treated in this manner makes wonder
full showing of grass. Tearing the roots
out and loosening the soil causes new
feeder roots to form and vigorous
growth is the result.

Tuesday morning a large num-

for the purpose of devising ways

taken and Ralph Fortune, A. R.

At the same meeting it was
also decided that each business
house should provide some
means for extinguishing a blaze

This action is one of public
Importance and is highly COM
mendable. The STANDARD from
