Socialists Nominate.-The socialists
held their county convention Friday
night in Claus Groth hall and nomina-
ted a full county and township ticket.
They also delegated to the city central
committee the power of electing dele
gates TO judicial convention which
will be held later, probably in Daven-
port. The socialists have never before
nominated candidates for the judiciary,
but will do so this year on the ground
that the Interpretation of the laws must
be in favor of or hostile to the working
class. They will, therefore, ignore the
nominations of the bar convention and
put up and support a candidate of their
own.

Acting on the report that Hagen
beck's circus gave $500 to any person
who would attempt to make the trip
with the woman who leaps the gap in
their show Albert Muhl, a carpenter,
living over Bulerdicks grocery, has
bet over $10O with various friends of
his that he will make the ride.
But Muhl is to be disappointed un-
less the circus management makes a
special offer in his case, for the show
official in charge of the advertising
car that was here yesterday, stated
last night that the circus had no such
standing offer, and he had never
heard of it making one to such affect.
Muhl however may be able to per
kuade the woman who makes the
dare devil ride to allow him to accom-
pany her, and thereby win the mon
ey which he has bet. Muhl was a
member of Company F in the Span
ish-American war and was always
looked upon as one of the most dar-

Irish Triumph Over the Ger
mans in Contest at Jack
son Park Yesterday.
A DANCE IN THE EVENING
BASEBALL GAME, TUG OF WAR
AND SEVERAL FIELD DAY
EVENTS FILLED THE PROGRAM
OF AFTERNOON.

The Dutch may have made Milwal-
kee famous, but they were not in the
running at all in the athletic contests
that were held at Jackson park yes
terday afternoon during the annual
picnic of the knights of Columbus.
The sons of Ireland completely over
shadowed their German brothers In
all of the most important athletic
contests of the afternoon. They not
only won the base ball game but also
proved that they were the strongest
in the tug of war.
The picnic of the Knights and their
ladies was one of the most enjoyable
that has been held by them for
several years. From early morning till
supper time last night, the Knights
and their families arrived at the park
and it was thought that there were
at least five hundred people on the
ground, some of them representing
the councils at Cambridge City. Lib
erty, Milton, New Castle, and Center
vile. One of the features of the event
and the one which closed the days
merriment was the dance given in
the pavilion last night.
Although all of the events proved
highly interesting the base ball game
between the Irish and the Germans
was the headliner.
r; Ja
lines was one of the best rooters on
the grounds and the way he danced
around whenever one of his Deutsch-
land friends made a score was sight
worthy of vaudeville. On several oc-
casions Zwissler ran out in the dia-
monds to argue with the umpire. al
though he was supposed to be a dis
interested spectator. The efforts of
Zwissler and Rocker the captain, to
win the game for the Germans. were
unavailable, however. for the men
from Cork carried off the honors by a
score of II to 8.
The other event which attracted
much attention and was the source of
much amusement was the tug of
war" After a long and hard pull the
Irish started the Dutch and it was
smooth sailing, they running away
from their opponents. The fact that
John Zwissler laid down in order to
save his teammates from defeat was
one of the means by which the Irish
won. Patrolman McManuS who pulled
on the Irish end of the rope did yeO-
man service and it was largely
through his efforts that they won.
The other events and their winners
were:
Boys shoe race, won by Frank XII
ser, prize a base ball glove.
Mems free-for-all running race was
won by Robert Luken. the prize be-
ing a french briar pipe.
Ladies free-for-all running race,
won by Sarah Kramer, prize a piece
of hand painted china.
Little girls free-for-ali running race
won by Jessie Cronin. prize china cup
and saucer.
Three legged race, won by Pender
and Griffin.
Girls and boys handicap running
race won by Sarah Kramer prize a
beautiful hand painted cake plate.

last night in nearly every munici2ali-
ty in Russia appealing to the people
to rise and murder the Jews.
It is reported here that the mutiny
of the garrison at Reval is much more
serious than has already been indicat-
ed. According to the advices receiv-
ed here while a regiment of infantry
was on parade the colonel in COM
mand, Nikolaivitch, gave command
which was only partially executed.
He demonstrated with the major of
the second battalion and the latter
drew a pistol and shot him dead AS
though this was a prearranged signal
