Tom Watson of Georgia is Nominated
For the Presidency.

For president of the United States,
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia.
For vice president of the United
States, Samuel Williams Of Indiana.
St. Louis, April4.-The above ticket
was nominated Friday by the Peoples
party convention after two stormy
sessions throughout which the Ne
braska and Minnesota delegations,
working in the interests of William J.
Bryan, strove desperately to bring
about an adjournment of the conven-
ton until after nominations had been
made by the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties.
Hopelessly outnumbered, and with
out any chance whatever of gaining
their object, the Nebraskam men fought
desperately to the last, and when Jay
W. Forrest of Albany, N. Y, mounted
the platform to place Watson in NOM
ination they withdrew from the con-
vention, attended by the Minnesota
delegation, which consisted, however
of only one man, T. j. Meighan. If
Bryan is nominated at Denver the
men who walked out of the conven-
ton will supporth him and they declare
that the the Populists of Nebraska
will do SO to a man.

RAT EXTERM|NAT0R
NOT GREAT SUCCESS
Dead Rats Not Ground to Ash
es, as Had Been PrOmis-
ed Hits and Mrs.

Grafton Record: A Grafton home
has lately been troubled with a couple
OF rats who we're doing light house.
keeping in the celler. Rats in the
garrett are bad but rats in the cellar
are worse. Rats are very fond of any
thing in the eating line. They make
short work of the company cake or
Sunday pie and don't stop at ham,
eggs or other eatables which are
placed in the cellar. They skim a
pan of milk quicker than a silver
spoon can do it and take cheese with
pie the same as upstairs people.
These rats lived high for several weeks
and q leaf had to be taken out of the
table as the little food they left looked
lonesome on it. Something had to be
lone and an advertisement in a maya
zine told how to do it. A certain wise
man had so constructed a rat reducing
poison whereby the rat was killed and
ground to ashes. 1t added relish to
his food and after eating, all the rat
had to do was to lie down and die. It
might crawl back of Il brick but that
did not matter because the stuff turned
around and ate the rat up, tail and all.
Everything went and the place behind
the brick was soon as empty as John
MES pants during the swimming sea-
son. The great rat exterminator was
secured and an apple pie buttered with
it and the first call to dinner in the
cellar sounded and the rats hurried
in and ate at the first table and then
withdrew quietly according to program
and died, but the next number of the
program did not come off as adver-
tised, and in a few days you couldn't
get into that cellar with a lantern.
The lantrrn would go out and you
would quickly follow. The dead rats
were speaking their pieces and their
penetrating remarks could be heard
away out in the yard.

RAGPICKER slain
FOR HIS MONEY
MURDERER LIVES IN SAME HOUSE
AS VICTIM TWO WEEKS BE-
FORE CRIME is KNOWN.
John Smolensky, Seventy-three Years
Old, the Victim; Fred Eschle the
Murderer. He is Captured after
a Short Search.

St. Paul, April 8. Living CONSTANT
1y day and night with the dead body
of his aged companion, John Smolen-
sky, whom he murdered Tuesday
night, March 81, in a little shack on
the upper flats, Fred Esohle, forty
seven years old, an e1-convict, kept
the crime under cover until yesterday
morning when Smolensky's body was
discovered. He had been shotin the
head and hidden in a small vegetable
cellar beneath the kitchen.
Eschle fed Saturday night, but was
captured yesterday morning ear
Lilydale by Detective Frank Fraser
and Patrolman John Melrose. He
Immediately admitted killing Smolen-
sky, making a complete confession
and attributing drunkenness as the
cause for the deed.
Within seven hours of the finding OF
the body Eschle was under arrest.
Immediately upon the finding of the
body Chief O'Connor threw ont the
dragnet, and dozens of detectives and
policemen were securing the south
side of tie river. Hunted like an
animal, Eschle was finally driven to a
small wood ear Lilydale, where he
was run to earth. He made no re-
%sistance and was unarmed.
The murder of Smolensky is in ma
ny ways the most remarkable of any
murder in the police annals, and for
cold-blooded preparation, inhuman
Indifference and almost insane auda-
city it has few equals. Robbery was
undoubtedly the motive, although
Eschle claims drink was responsible.
Smolensky, who was a ragpicker
and seventy-three years old, was
shot through the right side of the
head with a double-barrel 12-guage
shotgun, Eschle standing about Six
feet away from his victim when he
pulled the trigger. The heavy shot
literally tore off the top of smolen.
sky's head, scattering blood and
brains on the floor.

SAMPLE MEDICINES

The habit Of distributing samp. e
medicines is not Objectionable ~
done In careful way, but when
done carelessly 1t may lead to Sc
rlous results. The medicines OF the
Nature Remedy company are of
recognized merit but their free dis
triDution came near resulting seri-
ously in the case of l.. w. Brooks
little children, who picked up some
tablets thrown I'm the yard and ate
them. The result was that they
were made very Ill and a physician
worked over them for quite awhile
before they were out of danger.
Medicines should in all cases be Civ

day. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOW
ED TO VOTE. YOU CANNOT
