HAMMOND ENTERS THE RACE
ST. James Attorney Wants Con.
gressiOnal Honor.
Will Dispute the Field With Re-
publican Nominee.
Short Sketch of Career of Brilliant
Young Democrat.

For a long timeth leading democrats
in the party in this district have been
trying to get W. S. Hammond of St.
James to enter the race for congress
and he has persistently refused to con-
slider the proposition until very re-
Gently, and the matter was brought to
his attention in such way that he
could hardly refuse. He enters more
as candidate against McCleary in
the event of his nomination than
against Guttersen. While Mr.. Ham
mOnd is democrat his views in rela-
latiOn to the tariff are similar to those
Of Mr.. Guttersen and opposed to those
Of Mr.. McCleary, so that in the event
of the latter being nominated the tariff
revision element of both parties will
have cano1date to vote for. The St.
James Journal G azette has the follow
ing interesting history of the candi-
date:
The candidacy Of Hon. W. S. Ham
mond of this city for congress from
the second district, is matter in which
every citizen of Watonwan county is
interested to a certain extent, and
should our present congressman sue
coed in defeating Gilbert Guttersen, in
the primaries, it won't take long to
countthe McCleary votes in Watonwan
county in November.
There are many reasons for this,
chief of which, is the high esteem in
whichhe is held by his neighbors. Then
there is the strong sentiment for tariff
revision and the fact that he is, as the
republicans call him, conservative
Democrat
CALI ng Mr.. Hammond aconserv ative
democrat is not, however, as correct
as terming him an independent demo-
GRAFT.
1t is not our purpose at this time to
go into discussion of his version on
public questions, but to give brief
account of his career.
Winfield S. Hammond is native Of
Mass achusetts and first saw the light
of day at scarborough, Nov. IT, 1868.
He attended the city schools and
graduated from Peters high school in
that city in 1880, at which time Robert
E. Denield, of Duluth, was in charge
of the schools at scarborough. -Four
years later he graduated from Dart
mouth college, from which institution
other members of his family have
graduated.
Mr.. Denfield had gone west and was
superintendent of the Mankato city
schools. Having kept an eye on young
Hammond, he offered him the position
of principal of the Mankato high
school. Two years later, the people
of Madelia decided to establish a high
school and sent committee to Man.
kato to offer Mr.. Hammond the posi-
ton Of superintendent of their city
schools. He had been reelected prin-
cipal of the Mankato high school, but
resigned and became resident OF
Watonwan county.
In educational matters Mr.. Ham.
mond has done much for this county,
having established the first system Of
graded schools, and graduated the
frs. high school class. For a number
of years he served on our local school
board.
Prior to 1890, Mr.. Hammond ha6
been reading law and in that Year he
gave up SCHOOL, Work. The winter 90

was secretary Of the committee ap

AGE WILL HAVE RECOGNITION
Pioneers of Two Counties to be
Guests Sunday.
Turnverein Arranges Second Old
Settlers Picnic.
Program is Full of Interesting
Things For Everybody.

If it doesn't rain Sunday and all
other conditions are acceptable, there
is every reason to believe that there
will be large gathering of the pio-
neers of this and Nicollet counties at
the entertainment that is provided for
them by the Turnverein at the Turner
park in this city.
The time is rather late and it is apt
to be little cool but proper care will
be taken so that none need suffer and
the time of the year is such that more
people will be able to enjoy the picnic
than at an earlier date, and for that
reason those who have the entertain
ment in charge are expecting that there
will be even a better. attendance than
there was last year.
The only requirement necessary to
qualify as an old settler is that you
shall have been resident of this part
of the state since before 1868. There
will be a book provided in which it is
necessary that all who are entitled to
qualify as old settlers will be asked to
write their names and places of resi-
dence, after which they will be provi-
ded with ribbon showing the year in
which they arrived in the county.
While the time is little late for the
picnic the preparations are going for
ward with every assurance that it will
be as good if not better than it was
last year. There will be the same num-
Der of different contests provided for
the old settlers, the different prizes for
various conditions and things and a
program of events that will occupy the
entire day.
To all of these things those who are
entitled to wear the ribbons are to be
admitted free, but those who were not
so lucky as to have been in this coun-
try before the specified time, will have
to pay small entrance fee which will
go towards defraying the expense Of
the entertainment.
There will be continuous supply o:
music which will be mostly furnished
by the Second Regiment band, in the
way of instrumental music, and there
will be some vocal music that will be
contributed by various people who
have generously donated their time
and talent to the entertainment Of the
old settlers.
With all the interest that is being
taken in the matter by the Turnverein
which is doing this with very unset
fish motive, simply to show the pic
neers of the country that though they
are getting old they are not being for
| gotten, and in view of this there should
be a large attendance, as the price O
| admission, which is ten cents, is bare
| ly sufficient with the best of attendance
to cover the expense of the under
taking.

MAN FOUND DEAD BESIDE TRACK
LifeIess Body Of Adam Schweiss
is Recognized.

The dead body Of what appeared for
time to be an unknown man was
brought to the Buenger undertaking
establishment from near the St. Louis
railroad bridge yesterday afternoon
and for time there was considerable
mystery as to how he had met his
death, but when he was recognized as
Adam Schweiss, it was known that he
was subject to apoplectic spells and as
his body showed no signs of having
been injured in any manner it was
then evident that he had suddenly died
where he sat down to rest.
Chief of Police Klause Immediately
set about Investigate the circum-
stances and learned from Mrs. Schweiss
that her husband had been out gather
ing grapes; she had warned him that
it was dangerous for him to undertake
the trip as he had suffered from the
heat on several occasions and had
once before fallen being completely
overcome. He persisted and it is sup
posed that he was crossing the bridge
ahead of the train and having to hurry
became exhausted and sat down near
the track where he died.
He was born in Bavaria, was
mason by trade and came to this coun-
try some seventeen years ago living
with his sons in Lafayette. lately,
however, he had made his home in this
city with his daughter, Mrs. Jacob
Mueller. He leaves three sons and
two daughters.
The funeral will take place at the
st. George church.

The story is illustrated by Franklin Booth. His Better Side.'' the longest story in the magazine, Is told with skill and cannot fail to please. "Bennetts Partner" by James Knapp Reeve-a serial now running in the Bohemian-increases in interest as the story progresses. How Helen Won the Handicap" "The Mascot and '"rhe Liar are stories of more than usual strength. The poetry fin this num- Der is above the average and Is con tributed by such writers as Clinto Scol- lard, Edwin l.. Sabin, Mnna Irving. etc. A new and attractive feature of the Bohe- milan is the full page pictures of the scenes and people of Stageland, supple mented by snappy chat about the play and players. The Book Table Is another feature and is an excellent guide of what Is worth while in books.

 ''It costs an even $500 for woman's automobile outfit" was the remark made by a woman who owns and runs her own auto. And this does not include extras, such as foot warmers.

Long of the Water Wagon (which we hear has sold 50,0o0 copies) is now writ ing lampoons, parodies and humorous lit erary notes every month for Sherwln Codvs clever little magazine, the Touch stone.
 In the January number Mir. Taylor an nounced that Richard Harding Davis had gone to Oxford to study English, saying "It has long been MT. Davis ambition. as his friends know, to master the subtle dis tinction between will and shall, can and may etc." 'It Is hard at this dis tance," writes Robert w Chambers. ito make clear what a fine thing l think Da- wis is doing"
 Jim Ford is said to have chucked heartily over this. but MT. Chambers is reported to have expressed the fervent wish that Davis shouldn't think he really said everything that was credited to him. Ford may say the same when he reads the following in the February Touch stone:

a DREAM IN MARBLE.
MOST EXQUISITE BUILDING EVER
ERECTED BY MAN.
Mauso1eum of Tai MahaI in India
Monument of n Husbands Love
for His Wffe-In 1t Art Reached
Its Perfection.

The most exquisite building ever
/ erected by the hands Of man is the
Tai Mahal, which was constructed by
the great Mogul Emperor, Shah ia
han, at Agra, India. 1t marks a
great mans love for a woman-Ar-
jaInand Banu Begun, his wife. Shah
Jadan was a MohammedaB despot who
led magnificent life, aud had other
wives; but in his eyes the peer Of her
sex was Arjamand. When she died he
declared he would rear to her memory
mausoleum so perfect that it would
make men marvel for all time. And
this he accomplished More poetry and
prose have been written about the Tai,
with more illusions to it as a symbol
of love, than of any other creation
marking human affecticn-and the
secret probably lies in the fact that all
the world loves a lover says writer
In the Bookloyers Magazine.
Shah Jahan ruled from 1923 to 1858
and had been on the throne only two
years when death took from him his
adored Arjamand. Then came the re-
so,ve to erect to her memory a monu-
ment that might measure his love and
grief. All the best architects, a. lists
ana skilled workmen of India, Persia
and Arabia were summoned to Shah
Jahan's court and the resources of his
empire placed at their disposal. The
Tai, consequently, was not the creation
of single master mind, but the con-
summation of a great art epoch. It's

Heavy Horses.

Farm horses are growing larger. This
is especially noticeable in the more lev
N sections Of the country. Twenty-Five
years ago it was common to see a man
following two ten hundred-pound
horses and an eight or ten-foot drag.
Now on the same farms may be seen
three-horse teams, each horse weighing
fourteen or fifteen hundred pounds,
dragging a steel harrow cutting from
eighteen to twenty-four feet wide. The
three horses do not get tired and the
chances are the driver has a harrow
cart, so he don't get tired, and instead
of narrowing ten acres in a day he gets
over twenty-five or thirty acres and
does it better. Other implements on the
farm are larger and sometimes are
worked in gangs. In this way one man
is doing the work of three by utilizing
more power. 1t is the modern way of
doing things in all lines of business.
Improved methods make it possible for
man to utilize greater power and to ac-
complish more.-Farm, Field and Fire

Fall Flowing Best.

Farmers frequently make mistake
by not blowing more of their culti-
waited fields in the fall than they do.
Some are constantly crowded with
work and cannot get around TO it,"
others are somewhat negligent and fail
to realize that crops too often give
poorer yield from spring than fall
blowing.
Deep spring blowing is likely to re-
suit in diminished crops. especially if
followed by a period of drouth. The
loosening of the soil to a great depth
admits air and facilitates the loss of
soil moisture. 1t breaks off capillarity
and the moisture from lower depths is
not readily drawn upon. Consequently,
in a dry summer. there will not be
enough moisture 10 support a good

when the land is still moist, is not
merely that the ploughShare slips cas-
