Fifty-seven varieties Of nails, some
glassware, and parts Of wire fence
were taken from the stomach Of E.
Wallace, who was operated on at the
city hospital today. Wallace says he
is human District, and the surgeons be-
heve him. He has had pain in his
stomach for some time, and at last it
compelled him to 20 to the hospital. At
first he attributed his malady to over
indulgence in doughnuts, but on second
thought he remembered that he was
broke during the winter and spring and
that he had Joined a transforming com.
pany, guaranteeing to eat all the junk
the spectators might pass to him. He
had done this stunt many times before
and the nails and glass had always
agreed with him. But his tummy s
began to ache, and half suspicious OF
the trouble, he called at the hospital
His condition, the physicians said, was
critical, SO he submitted to an immedi
ate operation.
The physicians were prepared to fnd

Blue Earth and Mower counties
helped in the stampede for Cole, so
Eberhart Of Mankato and Nolan Of
Mower are both claiming the neuten
ant governorship. s.
There is a chance, however, that J.
e. jacobson will be nominated for seq
ond place. There is much talk during
recess favoring this move, and over
lures will be made to jacobson. It In
agreed that he would add great strength
to the ticket and would rally the
Jacobson men who are inclined to be
sore.
The authorship is in doubt, but Hal
den really scored when Jacobson was
Defeated. The men who engineered the
|iC0le nomination are for. Halden.
The seventh district will demand
place for julius Schmahl, and he is
favorite for the secretaryship. Cole g
nomination hurts Pidgeon, as both
come from the sixth district, and Lemon
Of st. Paul looks strong in the contest
for clerk.
Dinehart is almost certain to be
named for treasurer.

noon on the third formal ballot.
Hennepin county started the union

formerly scattered, and giving it to
Cole solid. County after county swung
in line with great confusion.
The jacobson men started q counter
stampede, but could only get his vote
