county, passed the word over to
Senator John Schultz of Lyon county
that the Hennepin Dunn delegation
had received 6183 votes, four less
than the official vote, and the sena-
tor yelled out:
1.-TWO to one on Dunn"
Instantly pandemonium broke
loose. 1t was the spark that ignited
the powder, and for five minutes the
cheering, waving Of kerchiefs, hats
and banners held sway. The Hen
nepin Dunn men brought in their
banner, "Hennepin for Dunn, and
again the cheering broke out. h
When this had subsidized and the
vote was announced the cheering
was commenced anew. Then three
or four nominations for the supreme
bench were made, after which re-
cess was taken for supper, the con-
vention reconvening at 8 o'clock.
From that time until | o'clock
Saturday morning the entire ticket
was nominated. After Judge Brown
and Lewis were renominated and G.

moved that the nomination be by
reclamation, and this was accepted
by Senators Reeves, on behalf of
the Eddy men. Chairman Clapp
put the motion and it was declared
unanimously carried amid the wild
est enthusiasm.
Ray w. Jones was quickly renom-
mated for lieutenant governor and
Peter E. Hanson for secretary OF
state, both by reclamation, while
julius FL. Block and Ed. 7. Young
had large majorities for treasurer
and attorney general. For railroad
commissioner Judge Mills, one OF
the present incumbents, who has
been the active head of the commits
sion, received nearly 1000 votes,
while w. T.. Young Of Mankato,

convention met these names were
announced and then Senator Clapp
suggested that inasmuch as this
committee could not possibly report
before Friday morning another ad-
journment be taken. 1t was so or
dered.
Friday morning the bitter feeling
had materially abated, and the lead
ers on both sides were determined
to get together, if possible. But
the committee on credentials would
not report until after dinner, and
the senator very smoothly got in
his work for another recess until
after dinner-and again without ir-
ritating the feelings of the delegates
who were anxious to vote.
In the afternoon, upon reassembl-
ing, entertainment was furnished
by j. Adam Bede and w. I. Nolan
until after 3 O. clock, when the com
mittee submitted majority and mi
nority report. The Collins delega-
ton from Ramsey, however, was
unanimously permitted to hold the
seats already occupied by it, while
the minority report of the committee
favored the seating of the Dunn
delegates from Hennepin county
ll3 votes. Other minor contests
were passed upon by the two re-
ports. w. B. Anderson of Winona,
the Dunn leader, moved the substi-
tuition of the minority for the major
ity report. Both sides in Henne-
pin were given hearing of twenty
minutes each and at about seven
0 o'clock that night the test vote was
reached. Under the rules neither
delegation from Hennepin county
was permitted to vote, but the dele
cations from all other counties, con-
tested or uncontested, were, includ-
ing the 81 delegates for Collins from
Ramsey county. The test vote gave
Mr.. Dunn 6223 votes, 431 more than
enough to nominate, showing that
he could have been nominated with
out the aid of either Hennepin or
Ramsey counties. Before the vote
was announced a Redwood county
delegate who had totaIed the Dunn
vote as it was announced by each

THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR.

Il. G. Shockey and bride were not
allowed to escape altogether the
customary recognition given the
newly welded by their friends. On
their arrival here last Friday even
ing they found The Fair store gaiIy
decorated and draped in the nation
al colors, with the legend, Honor
the Brave, :" as the central feature in
the show window. Mr.. Shockey
was prepared to live up to the
motto awaiting him, and took up the
business at his desk as usual, only
pausing occasionally to receive the
congratulations of acquaintance.

marriage of Mr.. Shockey and Miss
Mayme Jacobs. at Waterville, was

was Mss Helen Barkland and the

of humanity, sounded and resounded
with buzz-buzz, occasionally pune
tuated by cheering of candidates or
by bands, leading either Dunn or
Collins crowd, making it's appear
ance and playing favorite airs. And
rain could not stop this marching.
For instance, the Princeton crowd
of several hundred people, headed
by the Anoka band, arrived in St.
Paul OF six o'clock Wednesday even
ing, and marched through the streets
while the rain was pouring down.
On Wednesday night it was a win
or bolt, although Mr.. Dunn and
his followers were certain that they
had a majority of the delegates, even
with Hennepin and Ramsey placed
in the Collins column, and they an
nounced their determination to re-
main in the hall until the conven-
ton called for the opera house had
finished its work. A big Dunn
meeting was held at the Mozart hall
that night, and the 900 uncontested
delegates present was a sure sign
of victory. Thursday morning the
first feeling of bitterness had not
materially waned. At ten O'Clock,
when the convention was scheduled
to be called, the warning factions,
by their chosen leaders, were fight
ing with Moses E. Clapp over the
committee on credentials. Senator
Clapp would have it only one way
the right way-that if one side of a
contesting delegation was represent
ed both sides must be, unless an
understanding was reached between
the candidates. The convention
was called to order, Senator Clapp
made his speech, sounding the key
note of the coming campaign, and
on concluding, got action for more
time by announcing that owing to
the absence of a list of delegates he
could not announce his committees
until 2 o'clock, and pleasantly de-
clared recess until that time. Dur
ing those two hours the two sides
got together, each agreeing to SUBJ
NIT list of seven names, and then
have Col. Ward, an Eddy man, act
as chairman or arbiter. When the

State Convention a Strenuous Affair,
Calling for the Best Counsel
of Leading Men.

The most interesting state con-
vention in the history of the Repub-
lican party of Minnesota was pulled
off at st. Paul last Thursday, con-
Guiding it's labors at l o'clock Sat-
urday morning. Had it not been
for the wise counsel of many of the
best party leaders in the state, as
we'll as the excellent judgment and
presiding abilities of Hon. Moses
E. Clapp, the temporary and perm
anent chairman, there probably
would have been two conventions
and two state tickets in the field to-
day. Senator Clapp, when he &C
cepted the temporary Craftsmanship,
placed himself over barrel of COM
bustible material, threatening to
blow up his own candidacy. Be-
fore the convention was half over he
had the combustible material out of
the way and his chances for re cleo
ton were about 80 per cent. better
than they we're when be took charge
of the gavel. And as a result, there
is only one ticket in the feld-a
ticket headed by the Hon. Robert
c. Dunn for governor-and ticket
that will win by an immense major
ity at the polls in November.
The delegates from outside of ST.
Paul commenced to pour into that
city early Wednesday morning and
before ten o'clock that night every
delegate in the state, together with
several groups of contesting dele
gates, and large number of spec
acknowledgements and republicans
were on the scene, and the hotel
lobbies, packed by this dense mass

and changed enough votes to have
him declared elected on the first
ballot.
The selection of presidential cleo
tors, eleven in number, was accom-
plished very quickly, and at one
o'clock Saturday morning the con-
vention adjourned, leaving Senator
Clapp to select the state central COM
mittee, after comforting with the
various candidates.

The Populist county offices in this

of fake funeral occurring in little

The corpse came by express and a
swell negro funeral followed the same

prised many onlookers, requiring the
strength of a dozen stalwart negroes
to carry it. Suspicion was aroused,
and late that night an investigation
was made by CURIOUS white citizens.

A Continual Strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial on family trouble. It wears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally,. affecting their nerves badly and
with the attendant evils of constipation,
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vital
ity and dependency. They cannot, as a
rule, get rid of this continual strain -
but they can remedy it's health destroy
ing effects by taking frequent doses of

Back in South Carolina.

The Baptist Courier, of last week,
prints the following which will be of
interest in Oconee, where Mr.. Ward
law formerly lived:
"Rev. Columbus Wardlaw has ac-
cepted the call of the Seneca Baptist
church and will begin his work there
early in October. Bro. Wardlaw
was pastor at Seneca once before a
few years ago, but recently has been
pastor at Stafford, Arizona. We are
glad he has decided to return to
South Carolina, where he is so highly
esteemed, and where he will receive
cordial welcome"

Rev. A. 8. Earle Dead.

Rev. A. B. Earle, pastor of the
Lyttleton Street Methodist church,
Camden, died in that city last week.
His health began failing some six
months ago and despite his patient
efforts for relief he had been gradu-
ally growing weaker. His father and
several brothers died in their prime
of the same malady and Mr.. Earle
looked upon his illness as fatal from
the first attack. He was born in
Charleston on February 4, 1866, and
spent his boyhood days in that city.
At 1887 he was graduated from
Wofford college and shortly after
wards entered the ministry. He has
been a member of the South Caro-
lima Conference for II years. On
June Is, 1887, he married Miss Car
rie Kirby, of Spartanburg, who with
eight children survive him. Mr..
Earle was well-known in Oconee
county, having at one time been
pastor of the Methodist church at
Seneca, where he and his family re-
sided for three years. He was a
brother-in-law of Rev. e. S. Jones,
of Walhalla, they having married
sisters. The Presiding Elder, Rev.
III. b. Browne, conducted the funeral
service at the Lyttleton Street church
Wednesday afternoon and the re-
mains were inferred in the Quaker
cemetery.

many years and was general travel
