According to the Biological society

made in the northern portion of the
narrow straits known as the Little
Belt Electric lamps are to be fixed
at the bottom of the sea with a view
to preventing the conger cells from
making their way out into the open

The Republicans of Stevens county
in the caucuses last Saturday and in
the convention on Wednesday gave
VIM. c. Bicknen a magnificent en-
dorsement.
His ticket was elected in both wards
of the city of Morris by decisive ma
jorities, and the returns from the
country precincts we're also flattering.
For the most part, the contest was
not prosecuted as vigorously in the
country as it was in Morris, and in
some Of the country precincts there
was no contest at all, in some places
a compromise delegation being sent
in and in other places NO contest be-
ing made iby either one side Or the
other.
1.-THE BickneIl men made straight
out fight, but in Morris especially,
Mr.. Bicknell's endorsement is doubly
significant in that he won against the
personal work of such popular field
workers as DR.. Game in the first ward
andAlderman Lund in the second ward.
DIR. Game and H. B. Lund made fine
run, but they were carrying too much
weight.
The action of the caucuses and of
the convention is magnificent en-
dorsement for Mr.. Bicknell whichever
way you look at it. The test vote in
the convention stood 81 to %, and the
popular vote in the various precincts
gives a majority for Mr.. Bicknell's
friends of IS in spite of the small vote
cast. Following is the vote in the

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE.
Motorman Attempts to Remove OBJ

st. Paul, June 8.-Sanford Swanson,
twenty-eight years old, an apprentice
motorman for the street car company,
was instantly killed by coming in con-
tact with a live wire that had been
broken by the wind. Swanson was
riding in the vestibule of street car
with the motorman. When the Cav
reached Fourth and Exchange streets
the men noticed that wire had been
blown down and was lying across the
tracks. The wire was blazing and
sputtering and the motorman ordered
Swanson to remove it.
Swanson boldly wal1s up to the
wire and, apparently ignorant of the
danger, picked it up in his hand. He
fell instantly and before several by
ISLANDERS and the passengers on the
car could reach him he was dead.

there was ringing applause. The mo-

The County Convention

The county convention was called
to order Wednesday afternoon by
Chairman George Beise.
! 1t was surprise to all when the
first test vote came on the simple
motion to dispense with the reading
of the call. The vote stood 81 to %,
and this was the vote on every other
motion except as it was varied by
delegates on one side or the other be-
ing absent or neglecting to vote.
After the reading of the call was
dispensed with, W. L. Colyer and P.
G. Larson were nominated for tenn
porary chairman. P. G. Larson
wanted committee on credentials
appointed before the vote was taken,
and it took some time for Chairman
Beise to explain to him that there was
no roll of the convention from which
to appoint committee on credentials,
and that a convention must always
organize with temporary officers first.
He then wanted the vote to be taken
by ballot, but the convention favored
the rising vote, and by rising vote Mr..
Colyer, the Bicknell candidate was
made temporary chairman. Fred
Fowler was nominated for temporary
secretary, and his nomination being
seconded by the Bicknell delegates.
Mr.. Fowler has the honor of having
received the only unanimous vote of
the convention, faring better than
President Roosevelt and Senator
Nelson.
Mr.. Colyer appointed L. J. Ross,
Ward Stone and W. F. Cooley as the
committee on credentials. After a
short recess they reported the follow

STUDENT COMMITTEE

President Butler of Columbia will I'm the
next few days appoint a third committee
TO deal with the athletic problem in the
local university. This committee which
is TO confer with the faculty and alumni
boards of nine members each already ap-
pointed. is TO consist Of nine undergrad
yates This is a thing most important
TO the students of Columbia. one OF whose
chief complaints has been that they were
not permitted to have a voice in any OF
the affairs, which after all concern them
more vitality than any others in or of the
university. The appointment of this
committee is regarded as a great con-
cession 10 the undergraduates. who have
hitherto been passed over completely.
How much this committee OF the students
will he able to effect is OF course a doubt
full matter The attitude of the faculty
committee is apt to be that the students
do not know what is good for them and
that therefore they are not TO be regarded
in the matter at all.
1t was pointed out by n man who rep
resents faculty opinion at Columbia that
the students have no right TO say how
their sports should be administered. "All
that sort OF thing should be properly in
the hands of older men. The men who
take part i'm athletics are like the pawns
and other pieces OF chess. They move
about and do things. but have no au-
tonomy II is right that they should
have little voice In the matter. for they
are not mature enough TO decide the ques-
tions that arise for themselves"
