CRISIS EXPECTED
In the Strike Situation at St. Paul.
Mimi.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 1S.-The next
step in the strike situation at South
St. Paul will probably be an injunction
to prevent the strikers from picketing
the Swift Packing plant.
The governor. it is said. informed the
committee of merchants and jobbers
who called on him, today, that he
could not act until all other means had
failed to dispense the strikers. and in
timated that an appeal to the courts
had not been tried.
1t is understood from reliable au-
thority that the United States court
will be appealed to for an order dis
persing the strikers.
ST. Paul, Mimi. July 18.-It is ex-
pected that a crisis will come. today.
in the strike at South st. Paul of the
butchers of Swift 4 Co. Supt. Burns
of the packing company had announced
that he had engaged 200 men and
would take them into the works, today.
This however. has not yet been done as
Sheriff Crisim went to his home at
Hastings over Sunday and up to the
present no men have been allowed to
enter the works. The strikers allowed
all the women employed in Swift &
Cos. office to enter the yard, but barred
the men. Pending the arrival of the
sheriff the clerks were lined up on one
side of the railroad track while a
strong force of striking pickets on the
other side prevented them from going
into the works.
Later in the day Is or 90 men en-
plOyed in Swift Il Cos. office We're adj
mitted to the works by the strike
pickets after Mayor Lyttle of South
St Paul had addressed the strikers and
admonished them not to interfere with
the conduct of the business of the com
pany.

No Green Cheese Moon For Her.
The little girl was Oh visit to her
grandfather, clergyman who 1s ceie-
brated In the city for his logical pow
era.
~Oh, my! Only think, grandpa, what
Uncle Robert saysr'
"What does he say, my dear?'
"Why, he says the moon Is made OF
green cheese. It isn't at all, Is it?'
"Well, child. suppose you find out
yourself"
"How can L. grandpa?'
"Open the Bible on the table and see
what it says"
"Where shall begin?'
"Begin at the beginning"
The child sat down to read the Bi-
bic. Before she was half through the
second chapter Of Genesis and had
read about the creation Of the stars
and animals she turned to her grand
father, her eyes bright with the ex-
cttement Of discovery, and said:
"I've found 1t, grandpa. It isn't tue,
for God made the moon before be
made any cows."

yet having faith in those who signed the
petitions and the citizens Of the district

She Was Grateful.

Mr.. Browns business kept him so
occupied during the daytime that he
had little opportunity to enjoy the so
ciety Of his own children. When some
national holiday gave him a day of
leisure his young son was usually his
chosen companion. One day, however,
Mr.. Brown, reproached by the wistful
eyes of his seven-year-old daughter, re-
versed the order Of things and invited
the little girl to go with him for long
walk.
She was a shy, silent, small person,
and during the two hours stroll not a
single word could Mr.. Brown induce
the little maid to speak, but her shin
ing eyes attested that she appreciated
bis efforts to amuse ber-indeed, she
fairly glowed with suppressed happi,
ness.
Just before they reached home, how
ever, the child managed, but only after
a tremendous struggle with her inner
ent tmMity. to find words to express
her gratitude.
Papa, what flower do you like best?'
she asked.
why, don't know, my dear-sun-
flowers, I guess."
Then" cried the little girl beamlns
with gratitude, 'thats what I'll plant
on your grapeP'-Woman's Home Com
panion.

Candidates Cards
FOR CONGRESS-.

To the Electors of the Second Congress
sional District: Goods finger has touched"
our fellow-citizen and congressman, Col.
G.. W. Croft "and he sleeps" You are now,
therefore, without representation in the
lower house of congress. aspire to the
vacancy caused by his death, and solicit
your support for the position so worthily
filled by Aiken's distinguished son. I am
Democrat, acknowledging full allegiance
to the Democratic party, State and Nation
al. Trusts and monopolies are undemo-
cratic; are hurtful to trade; rob a free peo-
pie of their just profits; and are menace
to liberty and free government. have
worked and legislated against them and
am unalterably opposed to them and will
work not only to throttle them but to en-.
tirely destroy them, and thus through
National legislation give that relief which
could not be secured by State legislation.
favor industrial development, of the
individual, the county, the State, and Of
this Republic. I favor National aid for
roads, agricultural colleges and for textile
schools to be erected and maintained by
State and National aid in connection with
cotton manufacturing, that all our people
may be educated and trained to manu-
facture the finest of fabrics which sell
for the highest prices, thereby giving the
greatest profit to the manufacturer and
the highest possible wages to the laborer.
favor maintaining q strong Navy. for
the protection of our country and the In.
terests of our citizens under our treaty
laws. believe that the South is especially
interested in the awakening and develop
ment of the Orient, for to them we must
look for increased use of cotton goods. It
is the field into which the cotton grown.
by our farmers and manufactured by our
wage earners must in large part find a
market. Therefore, advocate trade rights
and open ports in China and the Far East.
I was elected Senator from Barnwel
county in 1892 and served until Bamberg
county was created in 1897 from BarnweH
territory. Being in the territory thus
cut off, resigned my seat and was elect
ed Senator from Bamberg county and at
the expiration of my term was reelected
and am now her Senator.
For these twelve years I have stood for
the welfare of all the people of our State,
and especially for the agricultural class
because on its prosperity depends the
development of the country. It is the
commercial blood of the body polite, sap
it, weaken it, withdraw it and general dis
aster follows. I am farmer and stand for
all that will benefit the agriculturist: rural
libraries. rural delivery, good roads, &c.
If selected to represent you, will bring
