Too M uch.

A Chinese servant employed in a
New York family who lived next door
to a famous woman pianist, left sud-
denly after only a few days service.
His knowledge Of the English Ian
guage was limited, and the letter
which he left behind him notifying the
family was written in Chinese. With
the aid Of an interpreter the gist of
the communication was made out. II
do not mind your barbarous parrot"
said the letter; Il do not mind your
barbarous customs of dressing and eat
ing; but the lady next door who sits on
the musical instrument every day is
too much.r-Harper's Weekly.

vention adjourned to 2 o'clock. At the
afternoon session a committee on Gre
dentials was appointed, consisting OF
seven Dunn men. seven Collins men
and Senator G.. B. Ward Of Alexandria,
an Eddy man, as chairman. The con-
vention then adjourned until 9 o'clock
this morning 10 give the committee on
credentials time to
Prepare Its Report.
There was no applause o. commo-
ton attending the seating of the dele
gates, every man seemingly realizing
that a great fight was on when little
attention should be paid to minor mat
tiers.
Robert Jamison of Minneapolis,
chairman of the state central commit
tee, called the convention to order
shortly after II o'clock,
Senator CIapp Chairman.
Mr.. Jamison announced hat Senator
Moses e. CEpp would act as temper
airy chairman, and amid a storm of ap-
plause the junior Minnesota senator
mounted the chairman's platform.
Senator Clapp spoke for an hour,
making only a brief reference to state
issues and predicted that in spite Of
the spirited pre-convention contest in
Minnesota the Democrats need have
little hope of carrying the state at the
fall election. His speech was a
thorough discussion of national issues.
At the conclusion of his address,
Senator Clapp announced that it had
been impossible to secure a list Of duly
accredited delegates to the convention
and he suggested that a recess be
taken until 2 o'clock with the under
standing that the chairmen of the
county delegations hand in their Gre
dentials in the interim. He also an
nounced that c. w. Johnson Of Mime
apolis would act as temporary secre-
tary, pending action by the
ton. A motion to take a recess until
2 O'Clock was carried unanimously and
the first session of the convention was
ended without the semblance of a
clash between friends Of the contend
ing candidates.
Afternoon Session.
There was no test of strength be-
tween the opposing candidates for gov
ernor in the afternoon session, which
was called to order by Senator Clapp,
temporary chairman, at 2:15 o'clock,
and adjourned less than an hour later
after the appointment of a committee
on credentials to pass IN the contest.

Iowa side. He was positively identified
by a picture in a Minneapolis paper
yesterday afternoon by employees OF
the offices of the Crawford County
Press and the Pearl City Record,
where he applied for work and had
been particularly noticed on account
of his nervous manner. He wore a
black, stiff hat, gray coat, dark pants
and torn patent leather shoes.
During the two hours he worked in
one of the printing offices he inquired

He brings a great story of the eff
forts that are being made to capture
the fugitive.
A pair Of overalls belonging to the
mar were found by a farmer. These
were wanted in order to give the
bloodhounds a scent. The farmer re.
fused to give them up unless the dep

ward. This the deputy refused to do,
but instead took out replevin papers
and thus secured the overalls. The
farmer then, in turn. refused to let
Capt. Resche give the ~bloodhounds the
scent unless he would agree to divide
the reward with him.
The overalls had then been handled
by about twenty persons and Capt.
Resche told him to go and have them
framed and keep them as a souvenir.

In connection with the graveling
