why Highmore Is ssstuck up

The town of Hghmore is pluming itself that
it has more nominees for state offices this year
than any other town of the state regardless OF
size. 1t has man on each Of three state
tickets. The republicans selected Howard G.
Shober for lieutenant governor; the democrats
decided that Frank l.. Latta of that place would
make good candidate for secretary of state,
and the socialists picked I. NJ. Burnside as their
candidate for state treasurer.
The prohibitionists in selecting their candi-
berg Of Grant selected man who could not
qualify even If he should secure votes for the
place, as his residence is in a district where
there will be vacancy for two years. The
commissioner elected this year must be for the
southeast district of the state, and Dahlberg
lives in the northeast district.
George A. Poe, the prohibition candidate for
state land commissioner, is transferring his resi-
dence from Beadle county to Stanley, where he
has taken homestead near Midland.

Sioux City. Iowa, June 12.-Evidence increases
that 1t Is the plan of George D. Perkins to
undertake to secure the nomination for governor
by the old trick Of contrasting delegations SO
that he may have a. chance to seat enough In
the state convention to give him control. 1t
will be impossible to control the organization
apparently without some sort of manipulation
not recognized by precedent, as it is now GER
tain that Cummins will have the most votes on
preliminary organization.
Last Saturday the Perkins followers instituted
contests In Delaware and Jefferson, without APP
parent foundation. In fact it was announced
several days in advance that there would be a
contest in Delaware. Joe Toulouse, one Of Ed

TELLS OF QUAKE RUIN.
Charles Erickson Says San Francisco
Is Awful Scene of Disaster.

Charles Erickson of Ishpeming,
Mich, arrived here yesterday from
San Francisco. He left there last
Wednesday evening, the day of the
earthquake which has made San Fran
cisco one gigantic ruin. He was not
in the city at the time of the quake,
however, but was at Mare Island navy
yards, twenty-seven miles south of
there. The shocks were felt at Mare
Island. Erickson says, but were COM
paratively slight and insignificant. He
was on the marine corps service hav-
ing enlisted at the local recruiting
station last November, says the Duluth
Tribune
THE sights seen in San Francisco
few hours after the earthquake were
something that man can never for
get said Erickson yesterday. "The
great city in ruins, the people in a
state of frenzy and despair and fires
with which the departments were un-
able to cope, made an awful spectacle
In the business district, where most of
the tall, modern buildings stood, the
streets were filled with huge heaps of
brick, mortar and stone, above which
were the spectral steel frameworks of
hundreds of buildings that had been
the pride of the west.
IF the quake had come later in the
day. when all these buildings We're
filled with people, the loss of life
would have been at least ten times
greater than it is now.
II was anxious to proceed on my
way and did not remain in San Fran.
cisco more than few hours. How
ever, l saw enough to impress me for
a lifetime. In the afternoon l went to
Oakland and from there took the train
for Minnesota. Thousands of panic
stricken residents of the Golden Gate
city were f1ocking to Oakland, and the
train which carried me eastward was
loaded with refugees fleeing from the
city of horror"
Erickson had received his discharge
from the marine corps service on ac-
count of physical disability resulting
from an attack of rheumatism, which
came upon him shortly after the rainy
season set in.

Topeka, kas., May 2.-Outward and
visible signs of lively contests to come
We're abundant at the opening of the
republican state nominating conven-
ton today. The convention was called
to order in the Auditorium at 10 o'clock
this morning by Chairman Stubs of
the state committee. More than one
thousand delegates and an equal num-
Der OF alternates We're in attendance,
together with Il number of visitors
from all over the state. The opening
hours OF the convention We're taken
up with the work of organization, roll
call, the opening addresses and the
appointment of the necessary COM
mittees. Frequent ovations We're given
in support of the various candidates
for places on the state ticket.
The convention will name candi-
dates for all state offices from govern
or down and including four justices Of
the supreme court There is no oppo-
sition to Governor Hoch and his re-
nomination to head the ticket will be
made by reclamation. But for each
of the other places there are from two
to half a dozen aspirants and the out
look is bright for some spirited con-
tests before the ticket is completed.
The platform will deal chiefly with
state issues. A hearty endorsement,
however, will be given President
Roosevelt and his administration and
the resolutions also will come out
strongly in favor of federal legislation

Motor Boats Not Popular,

Consul Harris writes from Mann
helm, in response to an Ohio inquiry
on the possible demand for motor
boats in Germany. He says:
1T would seem that Germany should
be good market for motor boats on
account of the many navigable rivers,
but boating has never become popu-
lar Teutonic amusement Mannheim.
at the junction of the Rhine and
Necker, boasts of only one or two
motor boats. Efficient American agents
might personally popularize boating
by persistent efforts. but whether the
trade would justify it is the question.
The same undeveloped taste exists
in regard to automobiles. With SUI
perior highways and picturesque
drives they are not used for pleasure.
Naturally. a people who have not cared
to drive for recreation have not cared
to use the automobile, and German
factories are selling their machines

tries, finding the home market lin

HEAVIEST MAN IN EUROPE.
4 Hotel Nan Weighing 600 Pounds
Dead,

Annotated Press Gable to The Evening
Times.
Berlin, May 2-The death is an
nounced of Herr Hans Fromm, a hotel
proprietor of Willenberg, East Prus-
STA. who enjoyed the reputation of be-
ing the heaviest man in Europe. Herr
Fromm turned the scale at nearly 600
pounds. He stood feet Sh inches in
his socks, and measured 72 inches
across the chest by 70 inches around
the waist. He always enjoyed a mag
nificent appetite and was of a very
happy disposition, although, owing to
his vast bulk, locomotion soon became
troublesome to him. He seldom left
his house. The last time he showed
himself in the public streets was six
years ago, when he went to inspect a
new railway station, and this was
quite an event for the inhabitants of
Willenberg. At one time there was
some talk of Herr Fromm accepting
an engagement on the music hall stage
in Paris, but the project fell through
as there was not a railway carriage
that would accommodate him, and he
refused to travel in freight car.
