calledlthe convention to order. w.
W. Sivright, of Hutchinson. was cho-
sen temporary chairman unanimously
and George Simpson, of Winona,
temporary secretary.
There was a feeling Of intense ex-
citement during the organization Of
the convention and even after the
balloting had begun there was no one
who would even make d prediction as
to what the final outcome would be.
The friends of the various candidates
worked like beavers and it was not
untilt he fourth ballot that it became
apparent that there was disposition
to get into the Cole column.
Marshall county stood by Stephens
until the last ballot when five of
them broke to jacobson.

Big Engines

10 compete with the Soo's
Winnipeg flyer, the Great Northern
railway is trying out pair of the
biggest passenger locomotives ever
brought to the northwest. In the
words of those who have seen them.
they are veritable whales and
cyclones at that. They stand so high
in the air that it requires balloon
to reach the cab, yet they are
magnifcently proportioned and
likened unto the greyhound. They
will be used on Nos. Z. and 8, the
Winnipeg flyers. The tenders have
water and coal capacity for more
than 100 miles travel, and they are
capable of covering the ground
in mighty quick time. They are
being tried out and limbered up at
the present time and will be put
into active service in the near future.
The builders of this big passenger
locomotives guarantee a speed Of 72
miles per hour pulling twelve cars.
They are capable Of reeling off ninety
miles per hour and this is about as
fast as an average person cares to
ride.

AWFUL CRIME
COMMITTED.

nlaoe any report. An adjournment
mas been taken until next SATURDAY.
IN the hope that some evidence or
clew may be secured that will throw
some light on the matter.
The murder, because that is what
IL appears to be, is certainly one of
the most bold and cold-blooded in
the history OF the state. No strang-
ers or suspicious persons are known
TO have been around at the time.
or were seen to leave the building.
Mr.. Lindroth was one of the most
'no6enslye of men, always jolly and
Joking, and was not known to have
an enemy in the world. That makes
the crime more of a mystery than
ever. His greatest fault was, of
course, that he drank, being what
may be called steady drinker rath-
er than q, hard drinker. He was kind
to his family.
Whether or not the authorities
have any clew whatever as to who is
the perpetrator of the crime, has not
been revealed. They are working
continually on the case and it is
possible that something may drop.
1t is to be hoped that the criminal.
whoever he may be, may be found
and punished. Justice, the security
OF the lives of our citizens, the good
name OF our city, the blood of the
murdered citizen, and the wall of
the wronged and broken hearted
wife and the three fatherless child
rem, demand that no efforts be spared
to find the guilty party.
Mr.. Lindroth had been engaged
in the blacksmithing business in
Warren during the past sixteen years.
He was born in Wermland, Sweden,
in lS43, hence was SO years old. He
was married in this city in 1898. His
wife and three children now mourn
his sad death. He was member of
the Maccabee lodge, carrying 81, 900
policy, which lodge made the neces-
sary arrangements for the funeral,
which was held on Monday after
noon from the Swedish Mission
church, conducted by Rev. O. j..

ATTENTION!
TOURNAMENT!
Fatties' Revenge.

Some time ago the fats and the
leans INDUCED in ball game in
which the leans won out. The fats,
after nursing their sore armsA and
getting their second wind, challenged
their former conquerors to a second
game.
This game was played Monday
afternoon at the driving park. A
more sensational game was never
seen. From start to finish every one
was convu]sed with laughter. The
fats won tine toss and started the ball
rolling, but were able to get only 3
scores. The mighty sticker, he Of
the tribe of Wood, got three-bagger
which any lean would have made a
home run. The leans. when their
turn came, started in with a rush
and secured six of the coveted tallies.
The next inning evened up with one
apiece, then came the disastrous
third. That is, disastrous for the
leans. Tornell got hit; Main drove
a liner to second, which knocked out
Henry Taralseth and then every one
of the leans went up in the balloon.
When the gas was out and the air.
ship came to earth the fats had five
runs to their credit.
In the fourth Pete Sinclair got a
hit and with two men pushing and
one pulling he was able to get to first,
where he had iced tea and sand
Wich brought to him in order to gain
enough strength to reach the coveted
second sack. Evidently he did not
have enough, for he was out at second
by a mile.
TO give the game in detail would
be a mightier task than any eyel
undertaken by Hercules. The play
was fierce and furious, and time
after time the bleacherites had to be
threatened with imprisonment in
order to keep the clouds from ex.
ploding and shedding torrents oil

tween the fats and the leans woulc

Fun! There was lots of it. Wher
Doctor Frank slid in at second, with
his eyes shut, and then couldn't
see it when the umpire called hin
out the score-keeper nearly dice
from exhaustion caused by laughter
As it was he forget to score two o.
three of the leans runs after that.
The players on the fat side were

a man entering storei in his own
town-a small place approached
the merchant and asked if he would
exchange for him a garment he had
bought in mail order house in a big
city, for similar garment of another
size, says an exchange. The mer-
chant almost tainted at this mans
gall but being an obliging merchant
ne did not getangry. He asked the
man why he did not return the gar
ment and have it exchanged. The
answer was he would have to return
it at bis own expense and might not
then get what he wanted. The mer-
chant looked sharply at the man to
see if he was joking or if he really
didn't know any better, and seeing
it was the latter he agreed to make
the exchange The eman was profuse
in his thanks for the accommodation.
The merchant, speaking to the man
gently but firmly said: my friend
you live in this community. You
own farm that perhaps cost you
$l5 or $40 an acre and is now worth
$50 to 500 an acre, and yet the land
is not as good as when you bought it.
1t is worth more because it is near
a good town-to this town that you
and your neighbors have helped tc
build up by patronage, and while
you were doing ityou were doubling
and trebling the value Of your farm.
lfyou buy your goods in Chicago
you help to make Chicago larger
city, and leave to other people the
hueaen Of making your community
your home, your land, increase in
value. If you help to build up
Chicago how much will it increase
the value of your farm? If you are
short of cash and ask credit of the
stores here, and you get it, it is q
favor to you. If you buy anything
at the stores here you can exchange
it or get your money back. In nmany
ways you are under obligations tt
this town and the merchants here
to trade with them, and yet yo,
have sent your money to this mai
order house to get what you wan
and have not got it after all, an(
you are hurting the value of you
farm when you hurt this town.

EMPLOYMENT OFFICES
MUST QUIT NlCOLLET

All the employment offices on Nicol-
let avenue were cleaned out in one
swoop by the council committee on
licenses today, and as the report Of the
committee will be unanimous there is
very little doubt that the council at it's
meeting this evening will adopt the
committee report. The owners Of
the offices in question were before the
committee today with applications for
the renewal of their licenses. They
were represented by Judge j. R. Corri-
gan, who argued that they should be
allowed to remain where they had es-
tablished a means of livelihood. The
opposition comes from the merchants
along Nicollet avenue and other leading
citizens who believe the employment
agencies are detriment to the street.
Large numbers Of men congregate be-
fore these places so that It is often
difficult to get thru. The applications
of H. P. johnson, William Brugger, the
Western Employment agency, j. Cor
rien, and H. S. Birch, all on Nicollet
avenue, and J. Gorrien at lis Hennepin
avenue, in the old city hall, were turned
down. o.
The committee also refused a museum
license to the Penny Parlor, at 41S Mic
ollet avenue. G. T. Thompson, repre-
senting the largest property owners and
merchants on the avenue, declared that
the crowds and noises were a decided
nuisance, and that the tendency Of such
institutions was to depreciate the value
Eof surrounding premises for high-class
business purposes.

1904 was 1913 pounds per capita, which
is an increase of AZ pounds as COM
pared with 1908. In 1905 the per capt.
ia consumption showed an increase over

using as much sugar, per capita, as
Great Britain, whose people have until
now had the sweetest tooth in the
world. Our sugar consumption is now
double what it is in either Germany or
France. The per capita consumption
in the European countries varies great.
