MINNESoTANS ARE SURE OF IT
They All Think Johnson Can Win Mt
he Polls. but Not
Bryan.

"1f John A. Johnson is nominated at
Denver he will be elected in November,
but that's the only man of whom 1 know
that can carry the democrats TO victory"
said J. E. c.. Robinson of st. Cloud, Mimi,
on his way to Denver Mr.. Robinson was
mayor Of st. Cloud for a couple of terms
and a state senator and for years he has
been one Of the leading democrats of that
state. He and Mrs. Robinson stopped In
Omaha between trains. They go to Denver
by way of Kansas City.
Il have just read the interview In The
Bee with Frank A. Day and +. b. Lynch,
Governor Johnson's private secretary and
political manager, respectively added Mr..
Robinson, "and they are right in saying
that the governor Of Minnesota could be
elected president. But l I'm afraid he can
not be nominated. 1t will be a big mis-
take for the democrats not to name him
at Denver. 1t will be like throwing away
the only chance they have had for twelve
years. Mr.. johnson could and would carry
every state Bryan carried in 1896 or 1900
and he would carry many states Bryan did
not and could not possibly carry. But
what states will Bryan carry this fall that
he did not carry in 1896 or 1900? That's
the question the democrats should consider
in making their nomination.
John Johnson is a big man, a strong
man and a man big and strong enough for
the presidency. It,3aTpp1inated he would
make a whirl-wind campaign. He would
carry the conservative east like a cyclone.
The south is democratic no matter who
runs. Mr.. Johnson will make it unani-
nous in the middle west. Our friends,
the republicans know all this; they are
just as positive as we are that Johnson
could win and that's why they don't want
him nominatedp

Hebrew Institute Picnic,

The picnic Of the Ladies Auxiliary OF the
Hebrew Institute attracted a large attend
ance at krug Park on Tuesday, especially
in the evening. The band concert in the
evening was noticeable, by reason of the
fact that J. M. Finn, directed the first
part and A. A. Covalt directed the second
part. The reEiition of the sextette from
Lucia" and William Tell overture was
marked by the strong support that the
band gave the director, and the effective
manner in which these selections were
played, was commented upon most favor
ably.
Mile. Pallansch, by request, sang Lone
some" and Coming Thro' the Rye" The
large audience was in ertire sympathy with
the program rendered by the Hirschhorns
Alpine entertainers, and gave them most
hearty applause. The aerial act on the
arena by Mile. La Carroll, greatly pleased
all who witnessed it.

Mr.. Brandeis placed a valuation Of 100000
on the new building. On cross-examination
he admitted It had cost $4,000, but said 1t
could be built now for S5O,00 less than It
had cost. He quoted John Latenser as say
ing the building could be reproduced for
$780, 1000. In explanation he said because
they had pushed the construction of the
building and had worked plastering gangs
day and night, the plastering alone had
cost them $4,000 more than It otherwise
would have. done. over 10000, he said,
was spent in protecting the New York Life
building when the foundation was put
down. The temporary roof and other work
which did not add value to the building,
he declared, increased it's cost very much
above what it would ordinarily have been.
Value of stock in store.
He estimated the value of the stock of
goods in the dry goods. shoes and clothing
departments, the only ones owned by the
Brandeis company, at between 100000 and
$500, 900. He asserted the store did a larger
business on a smaller stock than any other
store in the west. Dry goods. he asserted,
have declined in value from S3A to 10 per
cent since last February.

IS per cent Of an average yield, or 6 per
cent more thai was expected a week ago

division the reports show IS per cent Of the
average or 2 per cent more than a week
ago. The estimates on the McCook division
are from five to twenty bushels per acre
and on the Lincoln division from fifteen to
thirty bushels per acre. Spring grain Is
maturing rapidly and will soon be ready for
harvest. oats, spring wheat and barley
should all make an average crop, judging
from present indications.
Last week was the most favorable for
corn since the wet weather began, as 1t
was the week Of the highest temperature
SO far this season and there was not too
much moisture to prevent cultivation.
Agents reports show a prospect for an
IS per cent crop on the McCook division.

sIMPLIFIED MARRIAGE.

We marry for love and frequently
stay married a long time without it,
writes Vilhjalmr Stefansson in Har-
per's Magazine for October while with
the Eskimo the marriage of conve-
nience,'' as it is in the beginning, is
never long endured unless love deve-
lops. Whenever either husband or
wife prefers separation, divorce takes
place. There is peculiar economic
factor which accounts for this freedom.
An Eskimo wife can leave a husband
without single thought of How shall
I support myself and my child?" for as
long as there are food and clothing
