and following the opening pray
er the forty-third ballot
was Immediately started. Illi-
nois voted So for Wilson. Vir-
ginia voted "a for Wilson, West
Virginia gave Wilson 16. Many
small gains were made for Will
son and there were loud demon
strations following every change
in his favor. Several times dur
ing this ballot the chairman
threatened to clear the galleries.
The forty third ballot resulted
as follows: Wilson 6O2. Clark 329,
Underwood SO, Harmon %, Foss
"a, Kern /, Bryan 1.
n On the forty-fourth ballot
which Immediately followed the
announcement of the result of

California a, Virginia., Wiscon-
sin a, Iowa, and a number of
other small gains, accompanied
by much cheering. The result
of the forty-fourth ballot being
Wilson 629, Clark 808, Under
wood 80, HARMON q, Foss o.
The fortyffrh ballot was hur-
riedly started. There was a gen
eral feeling in the convention
hall that something was about to
break. Cheer followed cheer as
other delegates came over to the
Wilson rank. The forty-fifth
ballot gave Wilson 633, Clark
3O6, Underwood 81, Harmon 25,
Foss 27.
MOTION TO MAKE UNANIMOUS
After the forty-fifth ballot was
finished, Underwood managers
withdrew his name. This action
was quickly followed by Foss
managers. Stone and Francis
of Missouri then held a confer
ence, then admitted Clark's de-
feat. Stone then formally re-
leased the Missouri delegation
from it's support of Clark. The
widest excitement prevailed in
the convention hall when Fitz-
gerald of New York moved to
suspend the roll cali and nomi-
mate Wilson unanimously.
FORTY-sIXTH BALLOT
Stone of Missouri objected to
FitzgeraId's motion, and as a re-
suit the forty-sixth ballot was or
dered. Immediately every state
bpped to wilson on this vote.
His nomination was assured al
most before the vote started.
wilsonites cheered and threw
hats and coats into the air and
waved hammers when Pennsylva-
MIA cast seventy-six votes for
wilson which was enough tonom-
mate him giving him more than
two thirds majority. This vote
was completed at fourteen min
utes past three o'clock. The to-
tai vote on the forty-sixth ballot
was wilson $50, Clark 81, Har-
mon 10. The motion of Stone,
of Missouri, to make the nomina-
ton unanimous was carried.
WCE-PREsIDENT NOMINATED
The nomination of Governor
Marshall for vice-president came
as something Of a surprise, for
when the nights balloting for
vice-president began it seemed
that the Bryan Wilson contin-
gent in the convention had defi-
nitely settled upon Governor
Joseph E. Burke of North Da-
kota.
There was not much Of fight,
however, and when two ballots
disclosed Marshall easily it the
Head, Governor Burke's name
was withdrawn and Marshall
was proclaimed the nominee BY
ACCLAIM alton. Aminute later the
convention had adjourned sine
die.

Two Fires on Fourth

Those who predicted that Clo-
Wis would not have a fireworks
display on the 4th of July, were
disappointed to some extent at
least. 1t was not a pyrotechni-
cal display but served to make
things exciting in the absence
of a general celebration.
The first alarm was given at
about $3.50 a. m. when fire was
discovered in a frame shack adj
joining the livery stable occu-
pied by Byers in the south part
of the city. Within five minutes
after the alarm was sounded the
city fire department was on the
scene and within twenty min
utes had extinguished the blaze.
The second blaze occurred at
about 4 o'clock when the fire ori-
ginated in a small occupied resi-
dence on west Grand Avenue,
which was owned by Houk and
sons. The building and contents
were practically destroyed AID
| a residence adjoining badly
damaged, before the fire was
under control. The Santa Fe
! fire department were soon on
the scene of the last conflagra-
ton and in view ef the fact that
a high wind was blowing did
some splendid work.

ION stead ~ RuIine

The United States Land Office
at 1T. Sumner is forwarding to
every homestead sntryman in
the land district copy Of the
three year homestead law. There
will also be mailed a blank for the
entryman to sign, if he desires
to prove up under the law under
which his entry was originally
made.
Any homestead entryman
whose entry was made prior to
June 6, 1912, will be allowed to
prove up under the old law, which
requires FIVE years residence
with a reasonable amount of cul-
tivation.
The law specifically requires
that any homestead entrym an
who elects to prove up under the
old law must notify the register
and receiver by registered mail
within 12O days after June 6.
1912.
All homestead entrymen who
do not give notice to the register
and receiver within the 120 days
from June 6, 1912, stating that
they desire to prove up under the
old law, will be required to brove
up under the provisions of the
new law.
The new law, commonly known
as the three year hom estead act,
differs materially from the old
law, the main points of differ
snce being as follows:
RESIDENCE
Three years residence is re-
quired instead of five. Entry
man must prove by himself and
wo'credible witnesses that he
has a haditable house upon the
land aad has actually resided up
on the same for a term of three
years succeeding the time of fill
ing. The three years residence
required begins at the time act
ual residence is established upon
the land and not at the time of
filing.

The Land of Their Fathers.

A Washington correspondent quotes
Wadena, chief of the Mile Laos band
of Chippewas, as saying:
"Many, many years ago our fathers
came to the great Mile Laos lake in
Minnesota; many generations of our
people have lived here, and their
bones are resting here. Our ances-
tors have shed their blood for the
tract where we now wish to spend
our remaining days.
"And now we are resolved that
come What may, our bones shall be
buried here so that we shall rest
with our fathers. If the great gov
eminent of the, United States re-
moves us to White Earth it must be
done by force, and if this force sue
ceeds we will find our way back to
many mirrored Mile Laos, as we
have done before. '' & ="

Red Cross Seals.

The First National bank recently
received a consignment of Red Cross
seals from the Minnesota Association
for the Prevention and Relief of
Tuberculosis, and these seals have
been placed on sale at Scheen's store.
Every penny realized from the sale
of the seals will be used to advance
the great and good work which has
been undertaken by the association.
These little stamps may be affixed to
the backs of letters, or to packages
which you send out by mail or ex-
press. While the expense is trifing
to those who purchase the seals-one
cent apiece-the millions which are
disposed of aid the association ma
terially in combating the white
plague and caring for those who
suffer therefrom.
When you mail letters or. send
packages bear this in mind and, if
you can afford to so do, af11x two. or
three, or half a dozen seals to each.
You will never miss the few cents
that you donate to so worthy a
cause. -. -.
The stamping out of: tuberculosis
has been found by the association to
be a difficult task, but statistics
show that there is a marked decrease
in the death rate from this disease.

Via Mile Laos and Princeton.

In compliance with request from
Senator Bourne, chairman of the
senate committee on postofices and
post roads, Secretary Cooley of the
state highway commission has COM
pleted a map showing two per cent
OF the highways of Minnesota to
which federal aid may possibly be
extended in the near future. Among
the roads recommended by Mr.. Coo
ley is the one from Grand Rapids to
the twin cities via Aitkin, the west
shore of Mile Laos lake, Onamia.
Milaca, Princeton. Elk River and
Anoka. With the exception of a
few miles in Aitkin and Itasca coun-
ties there is a good, passable road all
the way between St. Paul and Grand
Rapids, and an average expenditure
of about 81, 500 per mile would put it
in excellent shape. .-:

A Letter From Florida.

A letter from Oscar Steinbach,
who went to Haines City, Fla,
where he owns land, last week, says
that when he reached there the ther-
mometer registered 80 degrees in the
shade-"just like Fourth of July
weather up north.'' Among other
things he says: <"The, orange crop is
very good and large quantities of the
fruit have been sent north. Florida
is booming and homeseekers from all
parts of the United States are here,
quite number from Kenyon, MINI.
The sweet potato crop averages $50
bushels to the acre, that is the early
variety-the late variety will not be
dug until after. Christmas. The
lakes abound with fish and it is a
pleasure especially for northerner
to be out upon the water at this
time of year. The land here is roll
ing, with some fine timber on it,
mostly pine, but punches of live oak
here and there. I could not get
along without the Union.''

A Close Contest.

The recount in the 18th legislative
district resulted in gains for, Hon.
Charles A. Gilman. The friends of
Joseph H. Coates claim he is elected
by one vote. On the other hand Mr..
Gilman's friends claim that several
doubtful votes were counted for Mr..
Coates and that he was not entitled
to the same. The house will decide
which Of the two is entitled to the
seat. 1t is passing strange though
that Mr.. Coates majority has been
reduced from over 40 to l, and that
all the errors in counting should
have been made in his favor. The
contest ought to be disposed of in
short order by the house.

Concert and Dance ToniSht.

Tonight at Brands opera house,
the Citizens band will give a con-
cert, to be followed by dance. The
program arranged for the concert
consists of selections of the very best
musical numbers, embracing classical
and popular pieces. Twenty-Five
pieces will take part in the concert,
and eight in the orchestra which
will furnish music for the dance.
And, it goes without. saying, that
the dance music will be up to date.
No one who is looking for an even
ing's treat should fail to attend.
