Is Not Merit The Test?

In the present campaign, the
democrats have manifested hber-
ality of views and purposes with
respect to partisanship that chal-
1enge consideration. The nominee
for representative on the republican
ticket is a son in a pioneer family,
of whom it i hoped that he may
give a good account of himself IN
voting against schemes, jobs and
extravaganza in the state legislature.
His father, the late Tolbert Carter,
was that sort of man. He was
honest, and always conserved the
interest of the people who placed
him in office, as his record in the
legislature will abundantly prove.
The democrats has no candidate
for the office of representative, and
in the hope that the younger Carter
would be as true to the people as
was his sire, in the knowledge that
men and their merits rather than a
party brand is in these times when
state taxes are enormous, the real
and only test of fitness, feeling and
knowing that saved dollars rather
than the trifing question of what
are his party affiliations are the real
and only question involved in can
didates, they placed no man on the
ticket for representative. Does
this act not show a commendable
spirit that appeals to men who are
anxious to save themselves and helI
themselves, and which because O.
its generous character should cause
men to hesitate to follow blind fol
ly and vote for any candidate be
cause he wears particular politica
brand? With state taxes at nearl,

these are times for men to think

generosity is one we'll worthy o
thinking about. Have the demo
Gratis not shown that they plac
men. and the merits of men, abov'
a mere question of party brand?

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, May S.-The cat tie supply at Kansas City last week was 30,500 head, and included a fair supply of fed western and panhandle steers and heifers, but a small pro- portion of range stOckers or feeders. Kansas fed panhandle steers, 1233, sold at $4.15 Monday, and tidy western steers brought 4.90 Tuesday, which was the high day of the week. After Tues day the market gave way to the in fluence of big receipts and finally closed about like the close of the week She stuff did not lose much. however. and good western heifers, 764, sold at $4.45 on Wednesday, with anything good to choice selling above $4. There was small inquiry for stock or feeding cattle, but it was more than ample for the very small supply, and prices ac- cordingly gained 10 or 15 cents during the week. Choice stockers had the call. Colorado feeders sold at $41O. Several dealers are carrying orders for stock cows, being unable to fill them; stock calves are also wanted. Market closed Friday steady to strong as compared with the low time of the week, $4.5O. five cents above Thursdays bid. The supply is moderate at 6,000 head, mar ket steady to strong on nearly every thing, but a few plain beef steers are moving slowly. With moderate receipts in the next few weeks. dealers expect moderate advances in prices
 Sheep run of 16,000 last week was not sufficient fer killers here, and prices gained 20 to 20 cents. It is the season between unclippped and clipped stock, and more of the latter arrived yesterday than all of last week put to- gether. The first Texas sheep of the season arrived yesterday; seven loads of 75 clipped Texans from Del Rio sold at $4.90, considered a very good opening price. High grade clipped wethers from vicinity of Dallas sold at $525, and spring lambs out of same shipment brought $7.25, weighing D. Western clipped lambs sold at $6 75 late last week, and wethers would bring $5.75 for choice ones. Kansas and Col orado feed lots are empty, and Texas and Arizona must furnish bulk of sup ply for some time to come. Every thing points to present high range of prices holding good.

SHOULD REMEMBER 1898.
Americans Can't Laugh at Russians for
 Dodging Whales.

Whales are giving a deal of trouble at Validvostok. One of them exploded prematurely a torpedo which otherwise might have destroyed a Japanese war ship, and how a school of whales has taken on the semblance of a fleet Of Japanese torpedo boats, and terrified the inhabitants of Askold island. De- cidedly the port commander of Vladi- vostok should take every measure to hunt all whales from the coast waters. The presence of a casual party of whales on the coast leaves the Japanese free to direct the northern mosquito fleet upon other fortified points Con- Nersely, by a proper concentration of whales upon the channel all the Rus sian mines might be exploded, with no harm except to the cetacean monsters. Yet before a quip is launched at the affrighted citizens of Vladivostok, it bchooves Americans to recall the ire quency with which phantom fleets were sighted off all our watering places in the early summer of 1898. Had our shores at that critical time been beset with whales we possibly might have given no better account of ourselves than the AskOld islanders.

CORNISH PAYS VISIT
Former St. Paul Lawyer Calls
on Old Friends

ID. Cornish, who for twenty years
prior to 1895 was a prominent lawyer
of this city and at present is vice pres
ident of the Union Pacific, was a vic
itor in st. Paul yesterday.
His trip was one of pleasure and
was Of no particular significance. With
his wife and daughter he had conclud-
ed a visit to the worlds fair and came
to st. Paul to renew old friendships
before returning to New York.
In the early '70s Judge Cornish
started in the practice of law in St.
Paul, at the same time with Judge w.
II. Sanborn, Judge H. r. Brill, G. D..
O'Brien and other attorneys who have
since risen to eminence in the profess
sion. In 1895 he left ST. Paul for the
East. He still owns the residence oc-
cupied by Sherman E. Day, on Sum-
NIT avenue, and on his infrequent Wis
itsto this city makes his home there.
Judge Cornish avoided business
while here and spent the time in social
calls on many of his old friends and
associates He would not discuss the
present tremendous activity of Union
Pacific stock in Wall street, nor give
any explanation of the numerous ru-
mors now in circulation with regard
to the mooted plan of financing to a
wider degree the vast improvements
projected for the Southern Pacific's
Central Pacific line.
Judge Cornish and his family left
last night for New York at $50.

Night ProwIer

Facing burglar as she entered her
home with her mother and a younger
sister Sunday night, Miss Marion Con-
ger, siXteen-year- old daughter of +. A
Conger, 43 Mackubin street, made a
brave effort to prevent his escape, but
was beaten in the face until she was
compelled to release him. Undaunted
by the blows she received, she pursued
him until he ran by mistake into
pantry, where she tried to i1nprison
him, but being unable to hold the door
against his superior strength was
dashed against the wall, while he sue
ceeded in reaching the rear door,
When Mrs. Conger and her two
daughters entered the hall of their
home they were surprised to see a
strange young man coming down the
stairs. The minute he caught sight
of them he slid down the banister and
ran down the hall. He became con-
fused in the rooms, however, and cir
cling about came face to face with
Miss Marion Conger.
The girl seized his arm and the
burglar slipped. He fell to the floor
and Miss Conger attempted to hold
him down. The man proved to be too
quick, and before he could be pinned
down evaded the girl He then ran
towards the back of the house. closely
followed by Miss Conger When he
opened the pantry door she was behind
him and when he stepped inside,
thinking he was in the rear vestibule,
she slammed the door. The burglar
then turned his strength against the
door with such force that his would be
jailer was thrown against the kitchen
wall.
The burglar then dashed to the rear
door. The cries. of Mrs. Conger and
her young daughter attracted F. A.
Neinhauser and his son Carl, who were
passing, and they ran to the house. :
They reached the rear door just after
the burglar had escaped, and they were
unable to overtake him. The police
were notified, but could find no trace
of the man. He carried Off with him
about S20, which he took from an up
stairs room.

SAYS MISS HAM
WAS HIS WIFE
J. r. Wallace Tells Interesting Story
About Breach of Promise Suit

James R. Wallace. of Minneapolis. ap-
nepin county district court yesterday
morning and gave some startling testi-
mony in connection with the recent breach
of promise case tried at Duluth, where
Miss Sarah Ham, of Dubuque, Iowa, Sc
cured judgment of $4,000 against George
Potter, a lumberman of Duluth.
;, The proceedings were kept away from
the newspaper men, but, according to
the stories that were waited from the
court room, Wallace said he married Miss
Ham in a little Wisconsin city in 1884.
and from the time of their marriage until
his divorce in Minneapolis two years ago
she had refused to live with him.
A new trial has been moved in the case
recently tried at Duluth and the object
OF taking Wallace's testimony Is to show
that at the time when Miss Ham was re-
ceiving the attentions of Potter she was
married woman and could not have full
filed her alleged agreement to marry him.

PLEADS FOR MORE
FREE FAIRGROUNDS
Mrs. w. E. BramhslI Delivers
Address Before HamIlne
Six O'clock Club

Give us more free Fairgrounds for
the children and the state prisons will
be conspicuous for their lack of MEM
Ders from the rising generation" was
the remark with which Mrs. w. E.
BramhaI, of st. Paul, closed her adj
dress at the Six O'Clock club at
Hamline last night. "All that is fair
and manly in a child is brought out and
developed on the public Fairgrounds,
and 1t is through lack of a sufficient
humber of those institutions that the
curfew law was made necessity.
A child who can spend several
hours day at play on a well regulated,
airy, roomy playground does not want
to roam the streets at night. That
feeling of a sufficiency, as far as ply
steal effort is concerned, will cause
the youngster to Immediately go home
and spend the night amid surroundings
which will be more conducive to good
than he could find on the streets"
Mrs. Bramhall's talk along the adop-
ton of the proposed charter amend
ments was straight to the point. For
two hours the club members listened to
a varied programme Of speeches re-
garding the charter amendments, all
the speakers urging a heavy favorable
vote.
Prof. A. A. FarnsWorth handled the
subject of free text books in the public
schools, pointing out the fact that in
Minneapolis, where the system is in
vogue, the cost per year for the past
ten years was but SO cents per pupil,
while the outlay in st. Paul, where
pupils purchase their own books, calls
for over SIS for each individual.
Capt. Levagood and Lieut.. Blaylock
appeared in behalf of the firemen,
urging the adoption of all the amend
ments, especially those calling for in
creased money for the fire department,
and pointing out the fact that in case
of the amendments passing the Mid
way section would be allowed ten more
men than are now stationed there.
The meeting was opened by James
A. Markham, who spoke at length on
the need of the amendments.

Republican Committee, How.
ever, Refuses to Be Idenfi-
fled With Debate


Unless the Republican state central
committee shall intervene it is proba-
bic that James A. Peterson's challenge
at Candy to Congressman John Lind
to discuss r. c.. Dunn's record as state
auditor will result in a joint debate
to be held at the Exposition building,
Minneapolis, next Saturday evening.
Learning while at Redwood Falls
that Peterson had made a boast, which
he probably had no idea would reach
Mr.. Lind, the former governor imme-
diately served notice on Peterson that
he would divide his time with him
during his speaking tour this week,
and that he would meet him in joint
debate at the Minneapolis Exposition
building to discuss the record of the
former state auditor.
1t was up to Peterson, and on his
own motion he yesterday agreed to
meet Mr. Lind in debate next Saturday
evening at Minneapolis. Chairman
Frank A. Day, of the Democratic state
central committee, yesterday received
notice over the telephone from Mr..
Peterson. A formal letter was awaited
yesterday afternoon at Democratic
state headquarters, but none was re-
ceived. Mr.. Lind left during the day
for Alexandria, where he spoke last
night, and the arrangements for the
meeting. so far as he is concerned, are
left with Chairman Day and the Min
neapolis Democratic committee.
Mr.. Peterson's acceptance of Con-
gresham Lind's declaration in re-
Spouse to his challenge was made
without the consent or knowledge Of
the Republican state central commit
tee.
1--WE do not know that Mr.. Peterson
has given notice of his acceptance Of
the terms in Mr.. Lind's reply" said C.
S. Mitchell in charge Of the speakers
bureau at the Republican state head
quarters last night night. L told Mr..
Peterson that 1 had very little faith in
the efficacy of joint debate in political
contests, but Mr.. Peterson seemed
anxious to meet Mr.. Lind. The meet
ing will not be under the auspices Of
the Republican state central commit
tee. We have no official knowledge of
the affair at ALL"
I'VE are more than pleased at Peter
sons acceptance of the proposition
contained in Mr.. Lind's reply to his
challenge" said L. A. Rosing last
night. John Lind will properly pune
ture that fellow. Mr.. Lind is one Of
the best posted men on state and ma
tional land grants in this country. He
was receiver of United States land
office for four years and governor of
this state for two years, while his long
service in congress has given him un-
usual opportunities to obtain a thor
ough knowledge of lands and land
laws. He knows what he is talking
about, and nothing pleases the COM
mittee more than the prospect of a de-
bate between Mr.. Lind and Mr.. Peters
son on Mr.. Dunn's record"

Trust Company Offers Reward
When Kipp left Syracuse he said he
was going on a vacation trip, and his
failure to return led to the disclosure.

months ago paid the amount Of the
bond to the bank and then offered a
reward Of $3.50 for Kipp's arrest.
