DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.
The Fremont County Democracy
Nominates a Ticket--candidates
With PopuIistic Tendencies Are
Turned Down.

With Populistic Tendencies Are
Turned Down.
The Democrats of Fremont county
met in convention in the court house
last Saturday and nominated sena-
torial and county ticket. The conven-
,ion was presided over by Jas. T. Locke
of this city, Geo. P. Nix of Florence
officiating as secretary.
There was comparatively little ora
torical display, the verbal pyrotech-
mics which marked the convention last
month to choose delegates to the state
convention being conspicuous by their
absence. There was, of course, some
acrimonious debate upon questions Of
party policy and expediency, but that
is inseperable from a Democratic con-
vention and was not matter Of sur
prise.
A notable thing in connection with
the convention was the way in which
aspirants for nomination to positions
on the county ticket with Populistic
antecedents were given the cold should
er. 1t was apparent that an effort was
being made to get back upon Jack
sonian basis so far as the nominations
we're concerned, and candidates who
were at one time allied with the Popu-
lists were turned down with an icy
stare.
or those who aspired to positions on
the county ticket who were at one time
ffiliated with the Populists were Ed
Minor and Alfred Durfee for county
clerk; N. H. Endsley and Roy Green
for sheriff ]. L. G.. Swinney and Chas.
Bernard for superintendent Of schools !;
and W. d. Housle for assessor. None
of them had ghost of a show for NOM
ination on account of their desertion
Of Democratic principles few years
ago, although they are loyal to the
Democratic party now.
Their friends do not think such pun
ishment is deserved and some Of them
are inclined to resent it. 1t is possi-
bic that they may be placated, but 1t
will require the utmost diplomacy OF
the party leaders to accomplish IL. To
ignore so large an element OF the party
without an explanation, which,. we i'm
agine, will be hard to formulate, puts
the convention in the light of having
purposely slighted those whom the
leaders regard as having been at one
time lacking in orthodoxy.
The nominations were as follows;
Frank A. Moore, state senator.
P. T. Mcclure, representative.
Joseph Esser, sheriff.
Henry L. White, treasurer.
Orion W. Locke, county Judge.
Geo. P. Nix, county clerk.
Geo. Arthur, assessor.
Ida L. White, county superintend-
ent.
A. B. McFall, surveyor.
DR.. R. II. Paxton, coroner.
W. II. Lagrange, county commits
sioner from lst district.
T. F. Cooney, county commissioner

CAMPAIGN CARDS
USED BY MILLIONS
LARGE PROPORTION NOW IN THE
CHILDREN's HANDS.
The Total Expense to Candidates Will
Be at Least $4,000 for Publicity in
the Primary Election Alone - Card
Collectors Absorbed an Enormous
I Number of Cards.

"Who captures the campaign cards9n
Conservatively estimated, 100000
small campaign cards were issued Incl
dent to the recent primary election in
Minneapolis. Of this paralyzing num-
Der one printing firm having political
affiliations and opportunities printed
$4,000, five others printed a total of
100000, several others printed l00,-
900 cards each, and the remainder of
campaign card business, printed total
of at least 100000. There were also
printed 100000 big cards. y..
The average price of these cards was
$l.5O a thousand, SO that the candi-
dates printing bill, not counting the
thousands of dollars expended on other
forms OF campaign literature and on
amounted to some $4,000 on small cards
for the primary election alone.
In ,disposing of this large amount of
| dfstributive advertising, the candidates
| Invested, anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000 for men at the polls on election
day for ,billpostiing and for other men
to hand the cards, out during the cam
paigr. The total advertising expense
incurred by the operations of the pri-
mary election law and not included in
such items Us halls, speakers and news
paper advertising therefore assumes the
respectable total of at least $4,000.
The true tale of the great expense in
volved will never be told because it will
! be many days before the. job printers of
the county will know just how many
cards, pamphlets, circulars, flyers,
dodgers, hangers and three-sheets they
did print, and many more days indeed
before the different candidates will con
fesss to how much they put up to win or
lose.
The small fry of the community can
conscientiously take much credit to
themselves for the rapid disappearance
Of the campaign card Where there
were thousands in sight in almost any
direction last week and the first Of this
there are few to be found now, and the
small boy has most of them. II
Of the 10000 school children in the
city, at least 10000 abandoned other
pastimes and made it their business for
many weeks to collect all the campaign
cards obtainable. To this 10000 might
well be added some 10000 children who
don t go to school, but who like cam
paign cards just as much: Allowing
the modest average Of fifty cards to
each child and the candidates are forced
to believe. that 100000 of their expen.
sive cards were thus withdrawn from
| valuable circulation.
1t is presumed that these cards will
be handed down to generations yet I'm.
born as evidence Of the ambition and
industry Of the candidates who flour

election law.

a REVOLVING IKoN.

The electric iron has not made much
Impression on the household sad iron
trade, presumably from the fact that
electric power is by no means avail
able as general thing, even in the
better class houses. There is hardly a
kitchen, however, where there is not a
supply Of gas, and as the gas-heated
iron is the nearest approach to the
ideal electric iron, it is probable Its
popularity will become very great be-
fore being ousted by the universal IN
PRODUCTION of cheap electric power. The
illustration shows modern type OF
gas-heated iron, which is novel in de-
sign in that it is reversible, combining
in the single piece both the ordinary
fiat.and the curved polishing surface.
The latter is concave and has bright,
smooth surface. A patented feature

The Bee Colony.

Il It should be as far away from public
highways as possible, and, if conven-
lent, in quiet place, sheltered from
high winds, where the bees are not
likely to be interfered with by men
or animals. The hives must be secure
ly fenced off, if situated on land where
cattle are accustomed to feed. They
should also be not so far away as to
.prevent those engaged about the
dwelling house from seeing when
swarms are in the air. If. the
;hiyes can be so placed as teSafford q
free bee fight toward the open coun;
try, while the beekeeper has room to
work at the side or in rear Of them
without. interfering with the fight of
the bees, it is mutually advantageous
10 them and to the beekeeper.
Il One of the most reliable arguments
in favor of combining agriculture with
small farming lies in the fact that the
beekeeper can time his work so as not
TO interfere unduiy with the attention
needed for harvesting his ordinary ag-
ficultural produce. Moreover, much
valuable help can he rendered by a
farmers wife who is so disposed, and
many instances are recorded in which
women make most successful bee
keepers assachusetts Ploughman.

One Farmers Method.

One of the best farmers we ever
knew kept a slate hanging up in the
barn and on this slate made entries
something like these:
. Weak place in the west field fence;
Joe repair it at once.
Take cultivator shovels to shop next
time buggy goes.
Repair Jacks harness and Bob's bri-
Ole first wet day.
Z Frank, see Smith and tell him to
bring log chain home.
Two sows due to farrow May 1G;
keep sharp lookout.
Bunch Of red sorrel in south field
near shade; for self.
Wood pile. must be watched; haul
some first chance.
When any job like the one: noted
was done. the rule was to erase the
memorandum about it. and the man
who kept the slate told us that there
was always friendly rivalry between
himself, his son and the. hired man in
the way Of keeping the slate clean,
The rule was to scan the slate when,
ever any one came to the barn, and
If he was callee away and there was
some work of his own to be done, in.
stead of telling his wife ''to tell the
boy" a simple entry was made cover
ing the work to be done and all went
well. -

Carry Life to the Soil.

A recent observation Of importance
to the agriculturist would seem to in.
dicate that the enrichment Of soil
which is observed in forest-covered
lands is not altogether due to a con-
servation of the moisture and the ad'
dition to the soil Of needed elements
by the decomposition Of the fallen
leaves. OF probable greater import
ance is the fNation Of atmospheric nj
trogen by dead forest leaves when
these rest on a moist substratum OF
soil. In effect this phenomenon is sim.
liar to that which is produced by the
tubercle growths on the roots of the
legumes and allied plant families.
A similar observation has been made
in regard to the mountain pine, which,
if verified, will account for the hardi-
ness Of this tree and the ease with
which it maintains itself in soils that
contain comparatively few nutrients.
1t has been found by the Danish
Heather Improvement Society, which
is interested in planting trees on bar
rem sandy stretches on the western
coast of Jutland, that spruce and
mountain pine, when planted togeth-
| er in pairs, mutually help each other
to thrive, the valuable nitrogen-fxing
| functions of the pine serving to pro-
| vide nourishment for both trees. It
has been repeatedly observed that
| where such trees are planted in prox-
unity on barren lands, if the pine is
| cut down while the spruce is still
young, the latter will die, or else make
a sickly growth. On the contrary, Gu
riously enough, if the pine is not cut
down until after the spruce gets a
good start, the latter will make better
progress than if the pine had been al.
lowed to live.-Indianapolis News.

| The writer tried the plan for the Sec
ond season last year and with satis-
factory results in the case of Leghorns,
but only fair results with Plymouth
Rocks. The plan Of feeding was to
scatter in the runs some small grain
like wheat. mixing it with a small
quantity Of oil meal. The quantity
was sufficient to give each fowl about
the equivalent of teaspoonful; OF
grain, provided she got:her share -
at the end Of two weeks the hens
were again fed literally and on the
usual variety of rations. The expert
ment was made in August and in four
weeks most of the Leghorns had their
new stock of feathers and were be-
ginning to lay. The Plymouth Rocks
dragged along for from six to ten
weeks before all Of them were. laying
again, There is enough in the plan to
warrant trying it, and if the resultf
obtained with the Leghorns could be
generally brought about it would give
poultrymen eggs much earlier in the
fall than now.

Care of the Horse.

Our farm horses should have the
very best of care that the farmer can
give them. They are faithful animals
and deserve to be kept right. They
should have plenty of good hay, corn,
oats, bran, etc., the year around. We
should strive to give them a variety Of
food, as they like it better and will
thrive better upon it. In beginning
the spring work Go not work the team
too much at the start. Their muscles
are soft and will blister easily, for
they have been idle. much of the time
during the winter. Go trifie slow at
the start, and then, after getting used
to it gradually, the farmer will have
a team with tough, hard shoulders,
capable of standing the heavy work Of
the entire season. The team should be
thoroughly brushed and cleaned every
day. This will help in keeping them:
in the proper condition. Give them a
good cry stable in the winter and do
not. be afraid of turning them out at
night during the summer when the
pasture is good. - =,
