and most interesting convention the
democratic party has ever held in
this state. The party leaders we're
still trying to fathom the strength of
William r. Hearst, in whose behalf
a strong campaign organization is

Mr.. Murphy was called upon at his

Dix of Washington county, and who
spoke in behalf of Mr.. Dix as their
choice for governor. To these gen.

Lewis s. Nixon Of New York city,

ed damages to half the value Of their
land, but that the defendants were
not entirely responsible for the dam
ages, as part of the tailings come
from other sources, and that the stat
ute of limitations had run in many

Plaintiffs rely upon the ground
that since the report Of the master in
chancery was fled the state supreme
court HIS held the statute of limita-

continuing damages. The lands al

of Browns addition in the town of

The damages claimed are S25, 900

that the actual damages sustained are
in the neighborhood of $4,000. If
any damages are assessed against the

reason why the company excepted to

ing the gubernatorial nomination OF
the republican state convention.
The refusal of Governor Higgins 70
accept denomination has unsettled
things, and now all efforts are being
put forth by the leaders to form new
lines, to make readjustments and to
secure ticket which can be nomin-
ated by reclamation. Harmony is
being preached, and harmony means
a ''slate" without a disturbance in
the convention such as would be Gre
ated by several ballots for governor.
To make this ''slate" an agree.
ment upon a candidate for governor
is necessary. If Governor Higgins
had been prevailed upon to accept a
denomination the remainder would
have been easy. But he has declined
to be persuaded, and now comes the
necessity Of selecting a candidate who
will satisfy all the leaders and make
a good run in the fall elections.
The outlook tonight is that it may
be some time before any definite re-
suits are accomplished in this line,

the contest in the recent primaries

believe the governor should not be

crets which will be incorporated in the

that they tend to economy as well as eff
cheney. The Dreadnought will cost ten
per cent less per ton less than recent bat

the Dreadnought will be unique, she will
