bition. General Weaver and his fol. lowers were not successful in their ef. forts in their own state, but, not daunted by their failure. have made arrangements to bring the matter up before the Democratic national con. vention. They claim, moreover, to have strong backing from number of delegations from the southern states which have recently passed pro. hibition laws.
 The anttinjunetion plank continues to provoke a large amount of discus sion among such party leaders as have already arrived for the convention. While opinions differ as to the exact nature of the plank which should be adopted, ali are of one mind In say. ing that it shall be dennite and spe. cific statement Such members of the national committee as have discussed the matter are unit in saying that the wording of the snti-injunctioD plank shall leave no possible doubt in the mind of any reader as to where the party stands on this question.
 injunction Plank Forecast.
 It is now generally believed. how ever, that the anti-injunction resolution will not provide for trials by jury in cases of contempt of court or favor in any way measures which might be construed as interfering with the pre- negatives of the federal courts.
 All developments indicate there win be strife over the anti-injunction ques. tion should William J. Bryan insist upon incorporating the kind of plank advocated by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor Mir. Bryan, it is understood. wants the anti-injunction plank of the Nebrasks state platform. The conservatives de. clare that if the Nebraskan has hii way about it the entire business com munity will he opposed to Democracy. Roger c. Sullivan of Chicago outlined the sort of platform he thinks the Democratic national convention should adopt. The Illinois leader, who is playing a prominent part in the pre- liminaries. hits hard at anything that smacks of Socialism and government ownership.
 The friends of MT. Bryan say that such of his critics as are already ex- pressing themselves in fear of radi. cal anti-injunction plank are fighting the air. The plank has not yet been written. It has not been drafted. and its form is still matter which is un- der deep and careful consideration.
 It was reported from Des Moines, Ia.. that Governor Johnson had de nied there the report that he would come to Denver. He also declared positively that he was a candidate for the presidential nomination and for nothing else.

Men who drive automobiles are learn ing that Fels-Naptha is a necessary part of a motoring outfit. It is the only soap that will quickly take oil and grease from their hands and faces in cool or lukewarm water.
 Most of the women who wash clothes for men who drive or build automobiles learned long ago that Fels-Naptha will take out grease and grime better than any other soap. And Fels-Naptha does 1t in cool or lukewarm water without boiling the clothes and without hard-rubbing.
 The Fels-Naptha way of washing is just as modern as the automobile. The progressive woman has said goodbye to the slow-coach, washboiler, hard-rubbing way of washing and has got aboard the time saving, labor-saving, clothes-saving Fels-Naptha way of washing.
 If you don't know the Fels-Naptha way of washing, 1t will take only one trial to convince you. Follow easy directions printed on the red and green wrapper.

 City of Mexico. June 30.-No news of any sort has been received at the capi- tol that would indicate that there had been repetition of the disorders sim liar to those which occurred at the towns of viescas and Las Vacas On the contrary, at the departments of the interior. war and state comes the report that absolute quiet ranged in the region where the two small bands of malcontents had been operating.
 Through private telegrams of inquiry received here it was made evident that sensational reports relating to al- legged captures and assaults were in circulation in the United States. One story was to the effect that the town of Jiminez. place of some 11.00O in habitants. had been assaulted and cap tured by revolutionists. At the in- terlor department and at the office of the president of the Mexican Central railroad 1t was asserted that the re- port was untrue. A telegram sent to Jiminez was answered by one of the officers at that place in the following language:
 Have not seen any revolutionists around in the last few days. If they captured the town they overlooked the telegraph office. Jiminez is a terminal point on one of the branches of the Mexican Central in the southern part of the state of Chihuahua. There Is village of the same name in the state of Coahuila. near the scene of the Las vacas raid"

OK cart of the old Red river days, the
same old OK cart: in which settlers
from Pembina used to travel to the
state capital, has been recreated by
some genius at the state fair grounds
so that the picture of the attack on
Fort Ridgely, to be given each even

During the progress of the great
historical spectacle, which will call for
the appearance of 800 Sioux Indians
and 600 white men, wagon train Of
the olden days will be seen vending
its way across the prairie to a farm
house in the neighborhood of the his
toric fort of '62, and it is in the build
ing of this farm house and it's envir-

lone MAN Holds
| UP Seven STAGES
YELLOWSTONE PARK TOURISTS
ARE RELIEVED OF MANY
VALUABLES.
Seven Coaches Are Taken One After
the Other. The Road Agent Was
About Fifty Years Old and Had a
Strong German Accent.

Billings, Mont, Aug. 25.-Seven
stage loads of eastern tourists were
held up and robbed by lone high
wayman in the Yellowstone park at
9 a. m. yesterday. The holdup oc-
Cured between Old Faithful inn and
Yellowstone inn.
The line of coaches had just left
the Old Faithful inn, starting the
third days tour of the park from the
Upper Geyser basin to Yellowstone
lake, and the hold-up occurred about
four miles out on the road.
The bandit was man about fifty
years old and he spoke with German
accent. He wore a white mask and
carried repeating rifle.
1t is estimated his booty amounted
to about s., 900 in money and jewelry.
The tourists were absolutely helpless,
as no firearms are allowed in the
park.
The road agents first action after
stopping the coaches was to order H.
S. Gaskin of Orlando, Fla, eighteen
years old, who sat on the seat with
the driver, to get down, and at the
point of a gun the young man was
compelled to go through all the other
passengers pockets and relieve them
of their valuables. Every driver was
warned not to start his team or he
would be shot.
About 1875 Victims.
M. L. Walker, an Oklahoma bank
er, tried to conceal 500 o in drafts
under the seat, but his action did not
escape the quick eyes of the high
wayman and he had to disgorge.
In all about 125 people were held
up, though not all of these suffered
loss. After relieving his victims OF
all their valuables the road agent Or
dered the drivers to move on.
AS quickly as possible they did SO
and the bandit made good his es-
cape. When the coaches reached
the lunch station at Thumb of the
Lake, word was sent to the army
post at Fort Yellowstone and a de.
tail of soldiers started in pursuit.
After holding up the last coach the
robber disappeared into the hills, and
it was afterward found that he had
made his escape on horse belonging
to the transportation company.
Secretary Garfield will be asked to
investigate.

st. Paul-The annual session of the
National Editorial association began
promptly on time, and in the absence

tariff.
A. L. Lawshe, third assistant post
master general of Washington, D. c.,

with special reference to the late

regulations were to aid the depart
ment, the publisher, the advertiser,

New Orleans wanted to debate this,
claiming the department has exceeded
its authority by attempting to enforce
regulations which congress had de-

Minneapolis, Aug. 2O.-John A.
Johnson must lead the Democratic
party through the Minnesota state
campaign.
The democratic state convention
would consider no other name for
head of the state ticket. In the face
of Governor John A. Johnson's posi-
tive statement that he would decline
if nominated, the determination of
the delegates was to name him and
adjourn.
Hennepin county put up the deal,
selecting A. B. Choate to make nom
mating speech for Johnson. After the
convention had met Aitkin county,
which is first to be called on the roll
for nominations, was asked to yield
to Hennepin and consented.
Frank A. Day made a plea for Gov
ernor Johnson in calling the conven-
ton to order, declaring that in face of
his statements he should not be nomi-
mated, but his plea was unavailing.
The rest of the state ticket was
selected by committee of nineteen,
Nominations were deferred until af-
ter the noon recess.
Frank A. Day, as chairman of the
state committee, called to order, and
asked the convention to keep still
while they had speech from our
great leader, William J. Bryan"
A monograph was turned on, and
gave a five minute talk from Bryan
on 1.-The Labor Question" Cheers
followed and then the delegates
stood and waved flags while the band
played "The Star Spangled Banner"
Chairman Day invited all demo-
cratic mayors to the platform. Mayor
Haynes was not present, but Mayors
Lawlor of st. Paul, Armson of Still
water, Wolf of Staples, Donaghue of
East Grand Forks, and Shirley of
Breckenridge were cheered as they
went up. Mayor Haynes got hand
when he entered a few minutes later.
Chairman Day then delivered his
message to the convention from Gov
ernor Johnson. He began by saying
that his term of office as chairman
should and would come to close
after four years.
You ought to applaud that" he
said reprovingly.
Mr.. Day said that while he had not
been in entire harmony with all ele-
ments of the party during his service
as chairman, but Notwithstanding
| his mistakes and differences the demo
cratic part had gotten along fairly
we'll.
Richard bakersfield of Minneapolis
was named for secretary, Frank S..
Battley of ST. Paul and Andrew Mel
son of Duluth, assistant secretaries.
On motion of Frank A. Day, the
members of the committees were cho-
sen by judicial districts. and a recess
was taken so the districts could eau
Gus.
Frank A. Day made a suggestion
that committee be appointed to
make up list of candidates for state
Offices other than governor. He said
there were usually candidates agreed
on for each place, but owing to the
demoralized condition of the party as
to the nominee for governor, there
had been no consideration given. He
did not believe it possible to make
up from the floor a well balanced
ticket A motion was adopted to have
