Out Of Work

Los Angeles, Aug. 6-Despondent
because he was lout of work, George
Rathburn. 3S, slashed his throat with
a razor in the presence of a crowd
of people in Central park at noon to-
day and will probably die.
Rathburn was sitting on bench
with persons on each side of him.
Without a word he drew razor and
before anyone could understand his
purpose he drew the sharp blade
across the right side of his throat.
The steel cut a large artery and be-
fore he could be removed to the Re-
ceiving hospital, there was large
loss of blood. Ray Cottle, park officer,
was only a few feet away from the
man and summoned the patrol wagon
after rendering what assistance he
could.

Mr.. Hitchcock said that every day
brings to his office a large amount OF
correspondence Oh the subject. So
far as can be learned Governor
Hughes has not sent any delegations
to national Headquarters to speak in
his behalf. Several parts OF the
country were heard from today by Mr..
Hitchcock. He received call from
James 7. McCleary, second assistant
postmaster general, VINO is a candi-
date in Minnesota for Il Republican
congressional nomination. Mr.. Nc
Cleary said that he was confident thar
the Republican state ticket would be
elected in Minnesota this fall and that
each congressional district would
send Republican to Washington.
He expressed the opinion that Gov.
Johnson would not again take the
democratic nomination. Representa-
tive c. b. Slemp, the only Republican
in congress from Virginia, was at
headquarters with Representative
Geo. A. Pearre OF Maryland. Both of
these southern members of congress
urged that work be done in their
states and that particular attention
be given to certain congressional dis
tricts where they said the party has
excellent chances of winning.
Chas. T.. Taft OF Cincinnati, brother
of the Republican nominee. was one
of the first callers at Headquarters
today. He had a long talk with the
chairman and then met the local
newspaper men. He was greatly
amused at their pointed questions
concerning the cost OF running a cam
paign, but would not tell how much
it was costing him. He parried the
questions good naturedly. He said
Ohio was safely Republican.

ed visit of the suffragettes and the
secret service men were informed to
keep a lookout for them. Every man
of the secret service was at the offices
or on duty at Sycamore hill and Jo-
on: to the railway station to get an
teal q of the visitors.

ed in tn~stD agette demonstrations

Roosevelt had been Informed that the
women would hold a meeting on the
corner in front of the grocery store
over which the executive offices are
housed.
The union wrote to the president
requesting that he receive several of
the members, but he sent word that
he was too busy to see them. 1t was
thought that the suffragettes might
go to Sycamore hill Notwithstanding,
but during the three hours before
their meeting they canvassed the town
and did not venture near the presi-
dents home.
At 1880 o'clock tonight the suffra-
gettes gathered before the grocery
store, but to their evident dissapoint-
ment, not an Oyster Bay woman ap-
peared to hear them. A few men were
there, but after a short wait, Mrs.
Wells announced that no meeting
would be held. The party took a train
for New York, saying that they would
return and hold a meeting some day
next week. During the day the Saga
more hill grounds were closed to all

not only made record for Mime
sofa cattle at exhibitions like the
recent state Chicago livestock show,
where over $1,000 in prizes were
captured for the Minnesota institu-
ton, but the school has actually
made a profit out of its various
exhibitions. This winter it took up
the exploiting of the best breeds of
farm horses, with the view of ac-
complishing for Minnesota horses

Death of hurry Warner.

Father ]. E. Warner of this city
was notified last Friday of the dam
gerous illness of his son hurry, who
lived near Minot, N. D. After the
father had taken the first train to
reach his son. dispatch was re-
ceived here stating that hurry had
died, doubtless before his father was
able to reach him. The cause of
death is understood to have been
pneumonia. We have been unable
to gather particulars, but recall that
hurry visited his parents here only
a few months ago and at that time
seemed in good health and spirits.
He was man of considerable ability
and energy and years ago managed
for a time the old Turrell farm in
Paxton township. Mr.. Warner was
in his 44th year, and is survived by
his widow and four sons. His father
wrote last Sunday that the inter-
ment would be at Minot.

To Rural Route Patrons.

The postmaster desires us to call
attention to the practice Of some
patrons of rural delivery of placing
loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch, letters in
stead of supplying themselves with
postage in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of the routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons Of rural de-
livery provide themselves and keep
on hand supply of stamps con-
sistent with and in advance of their
needs. 1t is also very desirable that
rural patrons place in their mail
boxes small detachable cups of wood
or tin in which to place coins, when
necessary, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.

The Paul Revere of New UIm.

New Ulm Review: At Mankato
on Tuesday evening of last week
there occurred the death of Ulrich
Lipp, former resident of this city
and during the Indian uprising of
1862 a prominent figure in it's de-
Tense. When the Indians first in
vaded the city OH the memorable
18th Of August and call was made
for some one to volunteer to ride to
the neighboring settlement of Man
kato and warn the people lalong the
way of the approaching danger,
Lipp was the first to respond. 1t
was a perilous undertaking on his
part, but he had swift horse, a
reckless and daring spirit, and al
though the bullets rained1. about
him to the extent of sweeping away
his headgear he made1thes trip in
safety and without vreceiving a
wound. Later he returned with a
company Of Mankato volunteers and
participated in the battle which oc-
Cured on the 22d.

After the ParIor Match.

The state fire warden is out with
warning against the danger of
careless use of matches, and main
tains that the use of the parlor
match, and in fact all other matches
except the safety, should be discon-
tinued and prohibited by law. This
would be no hardship to the users
or to manufacturers because the
safety matches, which can be lighted
only by rubbing them on the box or
a special place prepared tor that
purpose, are made on the same ma
chine and at practically the same
price as other matches on the
market. The exclusive use of the
safety match would not only lesson
the fire loss and reduce fire insur-
ance holdings about 10 per cent,
but it would also serve to keep door
castings, windows and furniture all
around the house free from the
ugly looking scratch stains of the
ordinary match.

Silver GuIch Ranch.

A packed house greeted the home
talent production, "Silyer Gulch

evening Of Feb. 9th, under the per-
sonal direction Of Mrs. G. A. Will
cox, who, aside from being an ac-
complished dramatic artist, is lady
such as our most critical and refined
society is pleased to receive and well
come. The drama is one of unusual
merit and is replete with pathos and
bubbling comedy such a play as
deserves the support of intelligent
people. The characters, most of
which were quite difficult, were ad-
mirably sustained and that amateurs
should have such good conception of
the parts, together with the bust
ness OF the stage, speaks volumes
for Mrs. Wilcox as an instructress.
The enthusiastic demonstrations of
the audience repaid the cast for
their work.-Winona Herald. This
play will be presented at the opera
house Friday evening. Feb. 18th, for
the benefit of the Episcopal church.

POULTRY ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED.
A Board of Directors Elected and P0M-
try Show Planned.

The meeting as announced last
week for the organization of poul-
try association was better attended
than it's projectors had dared to
hope, and the interest taken by the
forty or more farmers and others
present is prophecy of future sue
cess for the association. After an
interchange of opinion all showing
that the association idea was the
thing to begin with, a board of five
directors was elected, as follows:
Geo. Whittet, ST., S. G. Peterson,
A. P. Henderson, John Colville and
P. III. Norton.
A permanent organization was af
forwards effected, with George
Whittet as president and S. G.. Pet
erson secretary and treasurer. Di-
rectors Henderson and Norton were
appointed committee to draft by
laws to be submitted at a meeting
of the board at the secretary's office
next Saturday.
1t was pretty unanimously agreed
to hold a poultry show in this city
the last week in February, and to
secure an expert from abroad to
act as judge.
President Whittet has been having
some correspondence with the state
entomologist, and is expecting that
he will be able to secure visit from
that gentleman at the time of the
first poultry show, to furnish an
added attraction in the line of pop
ular lecture on insect foes and
friends of the farmer, horticulturist
and poultry raiser.

Either W. J. Bryan or " The System. -

Here is the way our plain-speak-
ing editor of the Waseca Herald
views the johnson presidential
scheme: We hope that Governor
Johnson may save his reputation as
friend of the masses by repudiat-
ing the coalition of his politicians
with the plundering chiefs of pred
atory wealth to defeat Bryanism.
The defeat of Organism in this
country means the entire surrender
Of the country to the system,

being is John P. Morgan. who stands
at the head of the gold bond syndi-

poets the Herald to surrender to
any such combination he is away
off,"
