Thursday.
The morning session of the Demo-
cratic national convention Thursday
lasted less than an hour. There was a
delay in calling it to order, and at IL
O'Clock 1t became necessary to take a
recess until 2 o'clock to await reports
from the committees on permanent or
~ganization and credentials. The COM
mittee on permanent organization met
at onc and elected Representative
Champ Clark as permanent chairman
The choice was unanimous.
Chairman Williams was given q
round Of applause when he appeared,
AS o as he had produced quiet In
the hall by the use Of his gavel he in
troduced Archbishop John J. Glennon,
of St Louis, who delivered the invo-
cation.
The first business was the presenta-
ton and adoption of the report from
the committee on rules. Thomas J..
Grady Of the committee on rules and
order Of business made his report and
a fierce fight on admitting delegates
from the Philippines was precipitated
The committee recommended an
amendment Of the rules to provide for
the seating Of delegates from Porto
Rico. An amendment was offered to
include the Philippines. Senator Jerry
South Of Arkansas interrupted at this
point with an expressed desire to
speak to the question and accordingly
took the platform. He declared that
it had never been a part OF Democrat
ic doctrine to consider the insular pos
sessions as part Of the United States
| and he was opposed to such action.
Arguing for the adoption Of the re-
| port Mr.. Grady said the national COM
mittee had decided to include Porto
Rico. In the call Of the convention. The
| committee had to consider the ques-
ton as to whether these delegates
had the right to vote. The Supreme
Court of the United States had decid-
ed that Porto Rico was a part of the
territory Of the United States. The
same court had decided that the Phil
ippines was not a part Of the United
States. The committee had followed
this court and had given Porto Rico
votes and withheld those from the
Philippines.

member of the Iowa delegation stood
up and waved his hat frantically and
a wild chorus answered him. Three
cheers for Grover Cleveland" shout
ed an Alabama delegate, and they
came with genuine power and en-
thusiasm.
The 1000 delegates In the big con-
vention hall were backed by an equal
number Of alternates. Nearly all the
living leaders of the party. past and
present, were there. Around them,
oyer them and mingling with them
were 5000 spectators, who crowded
the hall from pit to dome.
The big hall filed slowly previous to
the call to order. The hall lost the
appearance Of immensely to a large ex-
tent because Of the great buzz canopy
that hid the roof from view. Illinois,
New York, Pennsylvania and Michi-
gan were best favored in positions.

WORTH READING.

In all the Baking Powder WARS" that
have been internationally waged in the
last twenty years, there is one point that
has been overlooked by the beligerent
makers of these goods. Rival manufac-
turers have contented themselves with
accusing their competitors of making an
unwholesome product. The question of
keeping quality, and. therefore. efficiency
In raising bread, the only purpose for
which baking powder is used, appears
to have been generally ignored. There
are many powders which. when fresh,
and the can is first uncovered, will do
fairly good work, but after standing for
some time on the pantry shelf, the
powder becomes so weak as to be almost
worthless as far as raising the bread is
concerned. This is especially true in
the case of the co-called "Phosphate"
powders, which, were it not for this fatal
defect, would be satisfactory baking
powders. The unsuccessful attempts
to overcome this fault of the "Phos-
phate" powders has enlisted the services
of more chemists and cost more money
than the solution of any other problem
connected with the raising of bread.
The makers of these "Phosphate" pow
ders raise great cry about the wonder
full healthfulness of their product, but
what matters all this If the powder will
not fulfill the only object for which it is
purchased? The housewife to whom
economy is an object will avoid these
phosphate" powders.

be properly styled sidewalk farmer.
A number of Walhalla and Neche
sportsmen spent part of last week with
us and played sad havoc with the wild

time on Rush Lake.
The doctors report that the condition
of Mrs. Louis Skapple is quite serious.
The family have wide circle of sympa-
thetic friends who hope to hear of her
speedy return to good health.
We note that since A. L. Perry retired
from the position of buyer for the North
western Elevator Co., he is getting that
old familiar hayseed look and has a
hearty response when the boys salute
him with "Hey there Rube!'
Owing to the improvement in the con-
dition Of the weather farmers around
Wales are on the hurry up getting to-
eether their seed and needed machi-
merry for the start of spring work Next
week everything will be in full swing.
We can now announce that Wales will
soon be favored by the opening up of a
new meat market, which has been most
badly needed for a long time. o. D.

The Moscow Lake is now at its highest

over the grade.
ia. Ellefson has been spending some
time enjoying neighborly visit with old

his grown up sons, who are visiting
around some.
Ed Hill and Mr.. Sunberg have about

Clarence Ellefson is here from Emo,

with the springs work here.
It is not because Jas. Ellefsen and
