Henry Carlon, who resides twenty
I've miles up Crooked river. had sew
enty-fve pure blooded chickens in his
henhouse recently. One night not
long ago he heard his dog barking at
some length. but as high wind was
blowing he thought the dog was dis.
turbed on that account and did not go
out to ascertain the cause.
Next morning he arose about 8
o'clock. and on going out found his
dog sitting quietly by the broken
glass window of the henhouse. He
thought this action peculiar and open
ed the henhouse door. when a huge
wildcat leaped at his breast and hurl.

gathered himself together and made
for the house. where he got his gun
and returned to the fray, TO find the
big cat serenely awaiting him. One
shot dispatched the varmint.
On taking look at the henhouse
Mr.. Carlon was confronted by n pile

killed and heaped up. Every one OF

STATE PLATFORM OF THE PRoHIsI-

Adopted at Minneapolis, March 8, 1906

which give sanction to the manufacture
or sale of alcoholic beverages, and the
substitution therefor of state and national
legislation utterly abolishing them. The

of corruption, wrest it from the control
of private and selfish interest corporate
greed and bossism, and bring the people
again into the possession of their own.
3. We recognize the danger to popular
government in the growing power of cor
porate, wealth, trusts and combines. We
favor legislation that will curb the power
of the railroads to regulate railroad rates.
The public must either rigidly control or
own the means of transportation and
suance of passes to public officials is
bribery and should be prohibited by law.
We favor the removal of the tariff upon
goods MANUFACTURED by trusts. We heart
lily commend President Roosevelt because
of the brave stand which he has taken in
relation to rate regulation and other re-
forms, but we deplore his silence on the
liquor question.
4. We favor the initiative and refer

5. We favor just laws in behalf of the
laboring classes.
s. The right of suffrage should be con-
ditioned upon intelligence rather than

7. We renew and emphasize the de-
mand which the Prohibition party has |
made since the beginning of it's history |
for the election of United States senators |

THE LID AT A BARGAIN.

Any Minnesota village or city now
may treat itself to the lid. If a may
or will not enforce the law, he may
be removed from office under the
Code. So says Attorney General E.
t. Young who is in charge of the
States case against Mayor j. E. G.
Robinson of St. Cloud.
The poor old Minneapolis Tribune
would have the friends of law and
order lean on this provision, since,
it would have them believe, a law
enforcing mayor will be necessary no
longer. Those who supported mayor
Jones at the primary and good bunch
of voters beside will take the safe
course, however. And when he has
been reelected, as we believe he will
be, the eyes of the state will be on

WOULD BE GOOD READING.

An enthusiastic young New York
publisher had a brilliant idea a few
days ago. He called ON Senator
Thomas G. Plat and asked the old
gentleman to write his personal
"reminiscences of politics for the last
half century. The senator listened
attentively and then asked: 'Would
you want me to write this history
as | know it to be or as somebody
else might imagine it to be?" The
enthusiastic person replied that he
wanted the exact truth-not a thing
CLOSED over, not a touch of false
coloring. "My young friend" said
Mr.. Plat, kindly, "come around
about rs years after 1 am dead. 1t
might be safe and proper to do it
then, but not now. By all means,
not now" After the publisher had
departed, much disappointed, the
venerable Tioga statesman said soft
ly to a friend: "That would be
quite a history, wouldn't it? Thur
low Weeds recollections would be
small potatoes alongside of it."

BADGER pwELT AMID WEALTH.
Had Bed on Chunks Of MsrveIousiy
Rich Gold Ore, Which Lucky
Miners Are Now Working.

N. H.. George, Santa Fe yardmas-
ter, has taken a layof of three weeks
and gone to Nevada to develop a
gold mining claim which he has
there, says the Wellington Mail.
There is quite a story back of his
going.
Mr.. George grubstaked an old
miner who had struck a streak OF
bad luck. This miner finally found
some excellent surface indications ir
the Nevada mountains and stakeJ
his claim. The prospects we're SC
good that Mr.. George, his brother
and b~rother-in-law took three ad.
joining claims. The old grizzled
miner worked away all winter on
the funds supplied him by Mr.
George. His developments were en-.
couraging but did not pan out large
quantities of the yellow metal.
A short time since another old
miner in hard luck came past the
first miners claim carrying his xii
of tools with him. Mr.. Georges
friend was naturally lonesome and
invited the stranger to take a claim,
After looking over the situation the
stranger decided to do so. An even.
ing or two later the two miners sat
on a ledge of rock talking when q
badger came into sight. The min.
ers gave chase and the badger ran
into a hole on the strangers claim.
They went to work with Their
picks and soon dug the badger out,
and in so doing they made a remark.
able discovery. His bed in the bot.
tom of the hole was made on a big
chunk of the very richest of gold
ore. The gold in the stone on which
he lay vas worth $4,000. In this
way they discovered a rich vein OF
gold bearing quartz which runs
through both their mines as well as
those belonging to Mr.. George, hi:
brother and the hrother-in-law. Mr.
Georges trip to Nevada is for the
purpose of fully investigating hi:
new gold mine.

MONEY IN DEAD LETTERS.
Over $4,000 Found During May--In-
sufficient Addresses Prevent Its
Return to Senders.

More than $1,000 was received
at the dead letter Office of the
post Office department in May.
Only a small percentage of this
amount can be returned to the
senders, for the eason that the
writer's give insufficient ad-
dresses. The majority of Tho
letters are written by poor per-
sons, including many foreigners,
and are, for the most part, in
tended for mail order houses,
but on account of wrong ad-
dresses finally reach the dead
letter Office.
The total number of pieces of
unclaimed matter received dur
ing the month was S05,66S,
against 667,1OO in April, but not
withstanding the large increase
in receipts every piece of mail
received was opened and treated,
leaving no accumulation at the
beginning of this month.
A new record was made in the
percentage of letters returned to
senders, 80 per cent, being the
average for the month. 1t is es-
timated that not more than 35
per cent. of the so-called "return-
able" letters can in fact be re-
turned. The number of letters
returned last month was 1885,
O1S, against 115,S57 in April,
1906, and 1O9,332 in May, 1905.
Money was found in 7,243 let
tiers, to the amount of $5,167.51.
In May, 1905, $4,56S,O3 was con-
tanned in 1883 letters, showing a
slight decrease for 1906 in the
number of letters received con-
tanning money, but quite a con-
siderable increase in the amount
of money enclosed.
