A "Stand-Patter" Congressman op-
posed by Liberal Editor.
st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 20.-Today's
primaries in the Second Minnesota
district represent probably the most
interesting of the reciprocity BATTLES
of the year. The district comprises
eighteen agricultural counties in the
southwestern part of the state. James
T. McCleary, the present Republican
representative, is a 'stand-patter" of
the EXTREMIST type. His opponent is
H. J. Miller, the editor of one of the
largest papers in the district, who
has made his campaign on Canadian
reciprocity and in favor of a tariff
revision which shall be downward in
stead of upward, contrasting with
Mr. McCleary's suggestion to cong
ress that some of the duties should
be raised. The result of the contest
is expected to have an important
bearing on the general progress #
the campaign.

Split in Convention.


Denver, Colo, Sept. 21.-The First
district Democratic convention today
nominated Clay B. Whitford for con-
gress by acclamation. At the same
time the delegates to the congress
ional convention were nominating
Whitford. number of other dele
gates met at another place and nom
mated James p Mullins for congress
man. The split in the congressional
convention is said to be due to cert
ain leaders forcing through the coun-
ty convention last Monday instruc-
tioEs Tor Whitford. Both factions
claim they had a majority of the del
egates at their conventions. The Null
lins delegates had not been properly
certified by the chairman of the
county convention through some er-
ror, and fer this reason they were
not allowed to sit with the convention
which nominated Whitford 1t seems
likely that Whirford will win out in
the contest, but the Mullins people
claim they have the right on their
side and are being jobbed.

MlLADY's BONNET.
Thousand Attended the Millinery o.

Pruit Company's Store.

Thousand Attended the Millinery Co.
ening Last Night at the Joyce
Pruit company's Store.
Milady was in her glory last eve
ming at the millinery opening at the
Joyce-Pruit Company's immense
store, and there were about two thou-
sand people who attended. The open
ing was one of the largest and most
successful that has ever been given
in this city, and it is doubtful that
it has been equalled in the Territory.
The store was tastily decorated and
the crowds passed through the great
aisles viewing the latest apparel from
the fashion centers of the world. Of
course the millinery balcony was the
main feature of attraction and hun
dreds of ladies visited this depart
ment and simply raved over the
beautiful millinery.
Miss Coffy, the milliner, looked
charming and was attired in a beau
tiful suit of corise covered with ele-
CANT black lace. She was assisted in
the receiving by Misses Farris and
Cobean and Mr. Norvel Randolph.
The orchestra was stationed under
the balcony and rendered beautiful
and sweet classical music. The or
chestra was composed of Helen Nor
feet, piano: Andrew Axelson, violin;
]. Hayden Croft, clarionet; Verdi
Croft, cornet.
To the left of the orchestra was
George L. Wilson, the famous caterer
for the New York Coffee Co.. and he
was assisted in serving Breakfast
Bell coffee by numerous clerks in the
store. Wilson made hit He thorough
" understands his business and re
Gently he served Breakfast Bell cof-
fee at the Worlds Fair in st. Louis
for six days.
The souvenirs presented were cut
flowers of every description, and
they went like wild fire. Miss Audrain
the petite young blonde, presided at
the flower counter at the front of the
store. and she experienced no trouble
in disposing OF the beautiful roses
and Dansies.
There was an entire lack Of COM
mercialism and nothing was offered
