HICKS PREDICTS MORE STORMS
FOR JULY. RI:

FUN y UL i.
July's first week will be period Of
great magnetic and electric unrest.
with "a reactionary storm PERIOD
central between the 18th and 9Th Of the
month, according to the predictions Of
I. R. Hicks, weather prophet ana
alamanc maker The storm period
will be near the 9TH and 9Th and the
crisis of electric excltation'' will fall
on the 9Th, according to Mr.. Hicks
Then, it is predicted, will come a
period Of GOODNESS, followed by a
regular storm period, from the 9th to
the 18th OF the month
A reactionary storm period is
prophesied to become central on the
10th and 18th OF the month with much
warmer weather and scattering light
rains. The regular storm period is
to be between the 10Th and 9th with
threatening storm clouds and wind
storms between the 21st and 24th.
The grain belt, while they may have
ugly storm clouds, thunder and high
winds, will most likely suffer a
shortage of rainfall, says the predic-
tion.
From the oath to the 9th the
weather is to become cooler and more
pleasant, but a reactionary storm
period is to set in by the 9th becom-
ing central within three days there
after. One of the most intense hot
waves Of the summer is scheduled to
occur, eliminating about the 2Sth, if
the change to cooler does not appear
generally between the 9th ana 9th.

NOTICE!

The New Front Special Sale was a
big success for which we thank our
old and new customers), except in two
particulars. First, we did not close
out all our china, and second. our 100
ladies' and 100 gentlemen's special
watch sale did not fully material1ze
There are three main reasons why it
was thus First, it was too big a
proposition for this time of the year
Second, most people buying watches
at our store wished different sizes,
kind or priced watches, and third that
the U. S. postal laws do not admit of
our explaining more fully the
advantages of this sale through the
mails which is on account of the
element of chance connected with
same. We have asked most of those
that bought these watches as to what
they thought should be done under
the circumstances and they one and
all left it to our judgement. We have
decided to continue this sale 60 days
more, commencing July list and
positively closing Aug. Goth. We will
make this different. All watches
bought of us within the next so days
will be included in this proposition,
but the prize will be OF value accord
ing to the value of the watch bought
by winner of the lucky number. This
makes it fair to those who have
already bought and fair to those who
Will buy. More fully explained at oul
store.
Hoping this will be satisfactory te
all concerned, remain,
Yours respectfully,

The Pioneer Press, with other
papers, has the service of Raymond,
the more or less famous Washington
correspondent, at Denver. If the rest
of his letters are like the first, Pioneer
Press readers will get little enlighten-
ment from him. In the first produc-
ton he ridicules the insurance of bank
deposits and states the proposition all
wrong, then demolishes the straw
man. The insurance of deposits is to
be by the bankers, and not by the
depositors. The government acts as
supervisor and doesn't pay out any
thing. There has never been anything
proposed which would so create con-
fidence as this plan, and ridicule will
not prevent people, with their savings
at stake, from thinking it all right.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET.
The republican state, convention at
|St Paul Wednesday nominated the
following ticket:
Governor. F. jacobson, Madison.
Lieutenant Go IA. O.
Eberhart, Mankato
Secretary of State-Julius Schmahl,
Redwood Falls.
State Treasurer-C. G. Dinehart,
Slayton.
Attorney General George T. simp-
son, Winona. "
Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioners-Ira B. Mills, Moorhead,
c. E. Elmqulst, Rush City.
Messrs jacobson, E be h art,
Schmahl, Dinehart and Simpson We're
nominated by reclamation. Mills
defeated Gross, who was the
candidate presented by the shippers
association. The candidates for
lieutenant governor, secretary OF state,
treasurer, hold those offices now
Mr.. Simpson is assistant attorney
general.
The ticket has some elements Of
strength and several OF weakness
Although Mr.. Jacobson's legislative
record is connected with reform
measures, and he bears the reputation
of honesty and sincerity, the interests
which have always opposed him have
this year united for him. How this
was done is immaterial It is the fact
which will require explanation and is
likely to bother Jacobson exceedingly.
The nomination is victory for r. G..
Dunn, as it is generally admitted that
his was the guiding hand. Counted
down and out by his opponents, Dunn
comes to the surface as one Of the
strongest forces in his party.
A thing which will injure Jacobson
is that he has never been in the past
chary of criticising or impugning evil
motives to those who opposed him or
were in his way, and he thus has
scores of enemies all over the state.
He left his own district two years ago
to come to tho Sixth, and attacked
Buchanan bitterly. It is not likely
that episodes like this are easily for
gotten, and this was only one. So far
as republican harmony goes, therefore,
it is only on the surface. With
Governor johnson again candidate
jacobson would go down to certain
defeat.
The nomination Of Mills Is an insult
to the people of the state, and shows
little regard of popular sentiment by
those who controlled the convention.
It looks as if Mills were put on to be a
milestone around Jacobson's neck, and
make his task harder.
