WILL INSTRUCT

Friends of Governor Claim Over
500 Delegates in State
Convention.
BRYAN MEN WILL WALK OUT

st. Paul, May H. - The Minnesota
Democratic state convention to elect
delegates to the national convention
will assemble in ST. Paul next Thurs.
day, May IA, and instruct the Mime.
sofa delegation to cast twenty-five
votes in the Denver gathering for the
nomination Of Gov. John A. johnson
of this state for the presidency.
approximately 400 Bryan men, who
have been elected to the state conven.
ton or who are contesting the seat.
ing of Johnson delegates, will walk
out of the convention hall as soon as
tho regular convention seats the John.
tricts and hold boiling convention,
which will elect solid Bryan delega'
ton to the Denver convention.
Hints Of Compromise.
At least this is the announced plan
Of the Bryan leaders, and though
there have been hints OF a compro-
mise whereby the Bryan men would
consent to the Endorsement of John.
son as first choice and of Bryan as
second choice, yet S. A. Stockwell OF
Minneapolis, who is recognized as one
OF the Bryan leaders, said yesterday
afternoon that he believed the war
has been carried too far for compro-
mise. SIS
The regular state convention will
have 935 delegates. OF these the
johnson men claim to have elected
more than 500 at the county conven.
tons held Saturday, and they concede
the Bryan men less than 100.
Admit Some Contests.
The Johnson men admit that con.
tests will be entered from four coun-
ties, with a total of thirty-five votes,
and scott at the threats Of the Bryan
men to contest Hennspin county, with
III votes; Ramsey county, with &c
votes, and st. Louis county, with 29
votes.
This is just scheme" said Frank
A. Day, chairman of the state com
mittee and secretary to the governor.
'The contests are not worthy of seri
Gus consideration. Less than forty
men in Ramsey county held conven-
ton and elected sixty-six Bryan dele
gates to the state convention.
''The Waseca county convention
contained forty-seven delegates for
Johnson and nineteen delegates for
Bryan, and yet contest is entered
from that county. The Hennepin
convention was overwhelmingly in
our favor. Duluth, st. Louis county
which was considered Bryan strong
hold, elected an uncontested Johnson
delegation"
The Bryan Side.
On the other hand, 8. A. Stockwell
Of Minneapolis said that the contest
from Hennepin county would be en-
tered because the credentials commit
tee in the county convention seated
Johnson men from three precincts
though the evidence was conclusive
that the Bryan men were defeated by
Republican votes.
I'VE feel sure" he said, that a
similar condition prevailed in many
other precincts. Democrats were out
voted at the primaries by Johnson Re
publicans. The st. Louis county dele
cation will be contested"

the conference report of the army ap-
preparation bill. An appropriation Of

listed men.
But little progress was made in the
senate in the agricultural appropri-
ton bill. the session being devoted to
discussion upon the principle OF
forest reserves and the administra-
ton OF that service. Senator Teller
concluded his remarks in opposition
to lump sum appropriation Of $780,
600 for the further development OF
the forest reserve system. Senator
Nelson of Minnesota and Senator Dol
liver of Iowa spoke In support of the
reserve service.

MOST TROUBLESOME PLANT.
Government Trying to Control the
Water Hyacinth.

The water hyacinth, the beautiful
marine plant Of green leaves and ex-
quisite flowers, which has done such
great damage to commerce in Louis.
lana and East Texas, is making its ap-
pearance in the ship canal, says the
Houston Post.
A few years ago the water hyacinth
was brought from Florida to Louisiana
as floral ornament. Last year the
government expended 100000 in an
effort to control the pest and has only
partly succeeded. Streams and bayous
which once carried large barges of
lumber in Louisiana and Eastern
Texas have been closed to navigation
by the rank vegetation of the hya-
cinth.
Sabine river above Orange has be-
come filed with the plants. and II is
related that these all grew from few
plants carelessly thrown into the riv-
er by some housewife when the plants
she had In a tub as an ornament be-
came too numerous.
The matter has been brought to the
attention OF the city authorities and
steps have already been taken to de-
stroy before 1t is too late all the hya-
cinths in Sam Houston Park and those
which have got into the bayou. A
boat is TO be sent along the lower
reaches and all hyacinths carefully
gathered and destroyed. 1t is antici-
pated that there may be some legis-
lative action prohibiting the growing
of these plants near a navigable
stream and furnishing any one so care
less as to throw any Of them into
stream which is Of any use for any
purpose.

In Austria ice sticks" are manufac-
tured at a profit.
A series OF poles is arranged so that
the water will fall slowly over each

In the winter time freezes, forming
large icicles. When the icicles have
attained the proper size the employees
OF the ice plant" come around with
carts, break of the great sticks OF ice
and haul them away to place where
they are put in storage.
OF course, 1t Is much easier to ham

than 1t 10 to cut 1t from some stream
and then pack it away. There may.

"Panna" to Combat In Prague the
Mans Emancipation Sheet.

Mans Emancipation Sheet
Mladenec (the bachelor), the Prague
newspaper which has devoted itself
to the emancipation of man from the
thrall of women, has chosen Its thir-
teenth number to celebrate its enor-
NOUS success. Not only has 1t awak-
ened the Czech population of Europe,

hood, but In addition II has stirred
up Poland, Hungary and Germany
with signs of revolt against feminin-
ism.
1t is in German speaking countries
that 1t seems TO have caused the
greatest awakening 1t says that A.
ter the Frankfurter Zeitung directed
attention to Its program, papers all
over Germany printed long articles,
many OF them indorsing. at least in
ferentialIy, the crusade.
The publication ONCE In Prague has
been stormed with letters demanding
q German edition Of the Bachelor.
Hundreds Of letters have been writ.
ten to the editor citing instances of
feminine tyranny and urging that the
fight for masculine authority be made
red hot.
German mems organizations, II II
stated, have adopted resolutions in
dorsing the paper and its aims. ana
several Mladenec clubs have been
formed in the larger cities. Orders
for copies have been received from
big hotels in all parts OF Europe whore
people who read the Slavic languages
habitually visit.
The greatest triumph OF al, In the
estimation Of Mladenec's editor, Is the
announcement OF the appearance In
Prague at an early date Of q rival
publication to combat the male eman-
cipation movement. This Is to bo
called Parma (the Spinster), and Il
is TO be devoted to exposing the
wickedness and injustice OF men, a.
sorting the rights OF women and prov.
Ing that the world will be far better
when the fair sex gains ascendance.
Rather Explanation.
The rattlers OF the rattlesnake lie
edgewise. II is evident that they must
do so, inasmuch as they are but con-
limitations of the backbone. The snake
carries the rattles on the ground a.
cent when he raises them to sound his
warning. This will be evidenced BY
the fact that In every snake Of any
size that is killed the rattlers are worn
through on the under side.
