DENVER, Col, July 21.-The Port
land is closed again in consequence of
the action of the military authorities.
The mine was giving employment to
about 500 men. Squads of soldiers
have arrested forty of these, including
the entire mechanical force at the
three working shafts. This comprised
engineers, firemen, master mechanics
and skilled men in other departments.
The men thus summarily removed
from their labors are accused of no
crime, the only accusation being that
they refused to sacrifice their mem
bership in the Western Federation OF
Miners and take out Mine Owners as
sociation working cards.
Six of the forty men arrested were
declared to be "all right by the mill
tary board and were released. Twelve
others were released on their own rec
ognizance. Each of the remaining
twenty-five, when questioned, admitted
that he had intended TO quit work or
the Portland, but denied knowledge OF
the others plans. 1t is alleged that the
union men working in the mechanical
department were to walk out in body
There are said to have been about 10t
union miners still at work on the Port
owners association cards and they viii
now be required to take out such card:
or leave the district.

which was done.
Hawes escorted Mr. Folk to the plat
form and after the cheering had been
subdued he was introduced and made a.
speech accepting the nomination.
Campaign Is for an Idea
Mr.. Folk said in~part:
When see about me representatives
of the Democratic party of Missouri and
when realize I have been chosen to rem
resent the plans and policies of that great
party. l am profoundly impressed with
the responsibility of my position While
l am gratifed by the confidence you have
expressed in me, do not congratulate
myself upon the high honor you have
done ME, because my mind is full of anx-
ious desire to perform well the part that
has been assigned to me- This campaign
has been waged not for man, but for
an idea. I don't claim to have done any
thing to merit this distinction in the place
of trust assigned to me. / have endeav-
5ored to do any duty under my oath of
Office to my city and state
Will Continue His Work
How we'll I have succeeded I could not
say. If your selection shall be ratified
by the people of the state I shall do my
very best and carry out the policies for
which the masses of the Democratic party
has been contending. The exposures of
corruption in Missouri have made the
people realize the menace to good govern
ment if it is tolerated and the necessity of
stamping out the influence of corruption
lists from our political life. I have been
fighting them with all the powers at my
command and have lashed them with the
whip of the law have no favors to ask
of them and no quarter to give. 1t is
unrelenting warfare to the end. There
are two things l am proud. of: One. the
aid and assistance of good citizens given
me; and the other, the intense hatred and
malicious mouthings of corrupt enemies.
The responsibility for the existence of
corruption does not rest upon either par
ty, but the Democratic party has assumed
the responsibility for stamping it out and
we want all good citizens, of every po-
litical belief to aid US. The battle
against Doodle has only commenced in
Missouri If am elected to a larger field
of opportunity propose to make Missou-
ri the most unhealthy place in all the
land for corruptionists TO operate in.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 21.-Because
ing properly exploited by the press
in this and other countries, the national
commission has caused the following
letter to be addressed to President
Francis, of the exposition:
by direction of the national COM
mission, 1 respectfully call your atten-
tion to the apparent need for an extern
sion and enlargement of the publicity
feature of the exposition. The zeal
and efficiency of the press of the city
of st. Louis has demonstrated what
may be done in the creation of active
interest by enlightened exploitation
through the public press. Within the
range of the general circulation of the
papers published in this city all fea-
lures of the fair have been made
known; but, unhappily, the journals of
this city like those of all other cities,
enjoy general circulation only in a
limited area. Beyond the line of the
special influence of the local press the
extensive proportions and interesting
details of the fair do not appear to the
commission to have been made known
W liiN SoCllSl Oh W lilO S<AlSiil VI Ia
the manner calculated to inspire the
interest and secure the attendance war
ranted by the extraordinary merits of
the great educational force herein
stated. In the opinion of the commits
sion this delinquency does not arise
from any lack of devotion to the pub
lie welfare by the press of the coun-
try at large"
After stating the muniicent recogni-
tion given the project by the national
and state governments, the letter con-
tinues:
Attendance Is Very Small
''The buildings are completed, the eX-
hibits are installed and the exposition
has been in progress for substantially
three-sevenths of it's allotted period
The faith of the management in the
merits of the exposition has just been
justified by the approving judgment OF
all who have entered the gates; but the
daily attendance has been far short OF
what it should be from any point OF
view. Unhappily, the magnificent pro-
portions and the numberless attrac-
tions of the exposition do not seem to
be fully understood by the masses OF
the people throughout the United
States, whence attendance must be
chiefly expected. The results obtained
from the territory commanded by the
press of st. Louis warrants the belief
that the unsatisfactory conditions pre-.
vailing would be overcome if the coun-
try at large could be adequately advis-
ed of what is to be seen, learned ant
enjoyed within these grounds.

and district governments participating

On the subject of bribery, the eradi-
cation of which is pointed out as the
paramount issue of the Democratic
party in Missouri, the platform says:
Must Get Rid of Rascals
"The appalling exposures of corrup-
ton in Missouri have brought upon the
good citizens of this ate the respon-
sibility of stamping oat the things that
dishonor and oppress. No party can
be hurt by getting. rid of rascals. No
state can be injured by: the enforce
nlent of law The disgrace is in tolera-
ton, not in corrmpting. There can be
no grander mission in store for any
political party than to fight public
evils
Where bribery rules there is gov
ernment, not of, for and by the people,
but a government of and for the few
with wealth enough to purchase Off
cial favors. Other offenses violate the
law,1while bribery aims at the assas..
sination of the hescommenwealth itself.
In the city of st. Louis, according to
the confessions of those implica ted, for
twenty-five years bribery stalked
through the legislative halls. Demo-
cratic off1c !als have exposed these con-
ditions and laid upon the offenders the
heavy hand of the law.s We indorse the
| work that has been done in this re-
gard"
The convention them settled down to
the nomination of a candidate for gov
| ernor. In most eloquent speech,
which was cheered at frequent inter-
walls, w. H. Wallace, of Kansas City,
placed before the convention the name
of Joseph W. Folk. Thomas L. Ander-
son. city attorney of st. Louis, with
equal eloquence, placed before the con-
vention the name of Harry B. Hawes.
Folks Nonination Is Unanimous
After speeches seconding the nomi-
nations had been made and several
supporters of James A. Reed, of Kan
sas~ City, had spoken in his behalf, a
roll call was demanded on the nomina-
tions- When the roll had been about
| half called, showing a heavy support
| for Folk, Harry B. Hawes arose and

in the exposition are quite as much in
terested as the company in the diffu-
sion of knowledge concerning the mer-
its of the exposition and securing the
attendance of the largest number of
people who may find it possible to en-
joy the benefits and the pleasure of q
visit to the grounds. 1t appears to the
commission that the company may
well call to its aid the forces referred
to. The details through which pub
licity may be widely extended might
wisely be made the result of confer
ence by a committee made UP of per-
sons appointed by the exposition COM
pany, the national commission and the
representatives of governments, states,
territories and districts having duly
accredited commissioners appointed to
represent them. 1t is probable that
such conference would find the rep
resentatives of each government, state
and district anxious to cooperate by
furnishing detailed information along
we'll considered lines, concerning the
participation of each in the fair. For
example, the people of New York will
be interested in well prepared de-
scription of the exhibits of that state,
| whereas the same subject matter would
not be of like interest to the people of
California; but, on the contrary, the
people of California would be interested
in a graphic description of the Cali
fornia exhibition
Call in the Newspapers
1.-THE newspapers of the respective
states will, without doubt, cheerfully
give space to descriptive matter di-
| rectly relating to the exhibits and
achievements of their readers.
"The exposition company could well
afford to aid and assist in the prepa-
ration of descriptive articles accom-
| panied by plate matter relating to diff
| ferent localities, because it is evident
that the creation of interest in any
| locality will contribute to the general
| purpose. But it is not the intention to
| here attempt to detail the many ways
of securing merited publicity which
would undoubtedly evolve from gen
eral conference by representatives of all
| the interested forces.
"The commissioners representing the
various states and governments are
persons of wide experience and broad
| intelligence and they are all, in their
respective spheres, undoubtedly as anx-
ious to contribute to the success of the
exposition as the directors and Off
GERS of the exposition company are
| known to be.
| Should it comport with your judg-
ment to call the conference suggested
the national commission will be pleased
to cooperate with you. Very respect
| fully, Thomas II. Carter,
| President

This is the ticket nominated by the
Democratic state convention which
convened last Tuesday and adjourned
sine die late today, after long harmo-
NOUS sessions. While there was little
uncertainty as to the probable nom
inee for governor, there was much talk
about an attempt that would likely be
made to defeat Samuel B. Cook for the
nomination of secretary of state on the
ground that he could not be upheld by
the platform that was to be adopted

came Cook was nominated on the first
ballot. The Missouri idea of fighting
against bribery and the corruption OF
officers throughout the state was the
slogan of the convention and the plat

SALTWATER, Mimi, July 21.-
Saltwater society is reveling in a Sc
cial sensation, for it has stood by and
seen one of it's best known couples di-
vorced and remarked within the space
of eleven days.
Early in the month Mrs. Inez Bron-
son, wife of Edwin S. Bronson, mem
ber of one of the oldest and most
prominent families of the valley of the
ST. Croix, began an action for divorce
from her husband. There had been
rumors that Bronson was a eonvivial
soul, but when Mrs. Bronson began
the action for decree and made the
grounds upon which she asked a legal
separation habitual drunkenness on
on the part of her husband, there was
much mild surprise The husband
made no defense and agreed to settle
on a trustee for the benefit of their
children large sum, with liberal al
lowance for Mrs. Bronson as perma-
nent alimony.
While the papers were being drawn
in accordance with the terms of de-
cree entered by the district court Of
Washington county July 10, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bronson were necessarily brought
together more or less. Society was.
however, not prepared for the climax
