WATSON THEIR CHOICE.
Populists Nominate the Georgia Man
for President.


for President.
: st. Louis, April 4.-For president
Of the United States, Thomas 3. Wat
son of Georgia.
For vice president of the United
States, Samuel Williams of Indiana.
The above ticket was nominated by
the Peoples Party convention, after
two stormy sessions throughout which
the Nebraska and Minnesota delega-
tons, working in the interest of Will
lam J. Bryan, strove desperately to
bring about an adjournment of the
convention until after nominations had
been made by the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. Hopelessly outnum-
bered and without any chance what
ever of gaining their object, the Ne
braska men fought desperately to the
last, and when Jay w. Forrest of AL
bany, NJ Y, mounted the platform to
place Watson in nomination they with
drew from the convention, attended by
the Minnesota delegation, which con-
sisted, however, of only one man, T.
J. Weigham. If Bryan is nominated
at Denver the men who walked out
of the convention here will support
him and they DECLARE that the Popu-
lists of Nebraska will do so to man.

Employers Liability Bill.
TRUCE DECLARED FOR A TIME
Warning Republicans and Democrats
Suspend HostiIities Long Enough
to Pass Measure.

Washington, April GA truce be-
tween the Democrats and Republicans
was for time declared when, under
suspension of the rules, the house took
up for consideration and passed the
Sterling employers liability bill. The
Democrats broke out, into loud ap-
plause and handclapping when the
reading of the measure had been con-
Guided. The vote on the measure was
ayes 300, nays l. Mr.. Littlefeld (Me.)
cast the negative vote
In brief the bill established the doc
trine that the railroad companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce are
liable for personal injuries received
by employees in the service of such
carriers. It abolishes the strict com
mon law rule of liability which bars a
recovery for the personal injury or
death of an employee occasioned by the
negligence of fellow servant 1t also
relaxes the common law rule which
makes contributory negligence a de-
Tense to claims for such injuries. A
provision, however, diminishes the
amount of the recovery in the same
degree that the negligence of the in
jured one contributed to the injury
The bill further makes each party re-
sponsible for his own negligence and
requires each to bear the burden
thereof

Mitchell, S. D., April S.-The Demo-
cratic state convention met here,

convention and instructed them to
vote for William Jennings Bryan for

er the districts should elect them or
the convention as whole. On roll
call the duty was left with the dis
tricts

heritance tax, favored a law compell-
ing all foreign corporations to appear
and stand trial before state courts,
asked for the vigorous enforcement of
the criminal law against trusts and
magnates, urged tariff reform by the
reduction of import duties, favored the
instruction of the delegates of the con-
vention to vote for the nomination of
William Jennings Bryan first, last and
Ill the time and for nobody else. The
resolutions were adopted.
Henry Volkmar of Milbank started
another fight over the positive instruc-
lions for Bryan, urging that the con-
vention should permit the delegates
20 have second choice, and naming
Governor Johnson of Minnesota. His

SPARTA WILL BE MOVED.
Minnesota Range Town UnderIaid
With Iron Ore.

1t will not be many months now, it
is believed, before the little village
of Sparta, on the Mesaba range, is
shifted to new location Ore
underlies the present site and to
permit of it's economical mining it is
necessary that the town be moved.
The new location has been selected
following the spectacle of diamond
drilling to determine where ore does
not exist. AS soon as the work of
filling is completed by the United
States Steel corporation and the
ground has settled sufficiently a
wholesale removal of buildings will
take place. 1t will perhaps be only a
question of time when Mckinley also
will occupy another Site Hibbing
