SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM THROW OUT “KICKERS.” The Cass Lake Times voices the sentiment of good citizens when it says: “We are usually considered a peaceful citizen and abhor the petty fights that occur almost daily in towns all over the nation. We believe too in every man and woman enjoying and exploiting their own religion and opinions, but when we hear a great lusty fellow growling because the world don’t support him as well as he thinks he deserves and curses the town he lives in because he can’t make a decent living in it we at once think he is a “No account” and needs a vigorous appli- cation of somebody’s boot toe just to wake him into action.” BOYS ONCE OURSELVES. Duluth News-Tribune: Some ad- vocates of a so-called sane Fourth like to take all of the fun out of the celebration, forgetting that they were once young themselves. The records will show that it is not alone the small boy that gets injured by premature explosion of giant crackers, but physicially mature men.

GRAY FOR VICE PRESIDENT Believed Nomination of Delaware Jur- ist Will Be Well Received by Sam- uel Gompers and Other Labor Leaders. E Lincoln, Neb., July .—The Ne- braska delegation at the Denver con- wention will approve any New York man on whom the factions of that state can unite for vice president. Failing in this Nebraska will vote sol- idly for Judge Gray for vice president. The record of Judge Gray is regarded as of the best for pleasing the labor votes and it is for these votes that the Democratic party is going to make its strongest bid, assert the Nebras- kans. 3 The Nebraska delegation, which is considered in accord with Mr. Bryan b every particular, is standing for a strong anti-injunction plank which will satisfy the demands of President Gompers and other labor leaders. This element will be further pleased with the nomination of Judge Gray for vice president if the New York factions cannot agree on a man. The visit of Josiah Marvel of Wil- mington, Del, the manager of the Judge Gray campalgn, has accentuated the belief that the Delaware man is persona grata with Mr. Bryan. Mr. Marvel visited Mr. Bryan at Falrview, but has not given out any statement further than that Judge Gray will be the nominee for president. The tariff plank of the Democratic platform will be very similar to those in platforms of fermer years. The at- titude of Nebraska Democrats on the tariff has not changed and they will demand revision at once, according to a prominent Democrat who is close to Mr. Bryan. FEW POLITICIANS ON HAND More Newspaper Men Than Delegates at Denver. Denver, July’ .—From present ap- pearances it is probable that the ma- Jority of the delegates and alternates to the Democratic national convention will be in Denver only a short time before the convention opens. Thus far not a single state delegation has arrived, only a few have started and it is a fact that there are more news- paper men on the ground than poll- ticians. Probably the first active par- ticipants in the convention to reach Denver will be those who left Chicago several days ago in automobiles and who visited Lincoln Monday on their westward journey. All of the avallable space in the the state delegations and such visitors to the convention as were prompt in applying for rooms and the Denver Convention league, a non-partisan or- ganization, has arranged to provide quarters in all desirable sections of the city for any number of people. The league has adopted the plan which was first used at the World’s Colum- bilan exposition at Chicago and has since been put in practice in other parts of the country upon occasions of a similar nature. A bureau of infor- metion in charge of competent and well informed men has been estab- lished at the Union depot, where all rooms, with the price and other par- tioulars concerning them, are listed. MITCHELL FOR SECOND PLACE Indiana Delegate Favors Nomination of Labor Leader. » Lincoln, Neb.,, July ~—W. H. Bveroad of Columbus, Ind., who was a caller at the Fairview residence of Willlam J. Bryan, deolared that he is not for John W. Kern of his state for vice president., John Mitchell should be named, he thought, to prove to the labor unions that the Democratic party Is the true friend of labor. “The Democratic party has always been the friend of labor and with a strong anti-injunction plank in the platform and John Mitchell for vice yresident there could be no doubt about this in the mind of any man,” said he. “I love Mr. Kern, as do all the delegates from my state, but we belleve that Mr. Bryan would have as many votes from Indiana without him as with him on the ticket.” KERN STARTS FOR DENVER Indiana Man a Candidate for the Vice Presidency. Indianapolls, July .—John W. Kern, whose name has been men- tioned in connection with the vice presidential nomination on the Demo- cratic ticket, accompanied by Stokes Jackson of Greenfleld, chairman of the ftate committee, and John E. Lamh and Claude Bowers of Terre Haute, has left for Denver. They will stop at Lincoln to see Mr. Bryan, when the subject of the presentation of Mr. Kern’s name to the national conven- tion will be discussed. Booming Woodson for Chairman. Denver, July .—The friends ot Urey Woodsen, secretary of the Dem- ocratic national committee, are push- ing him for chairman of the commit- tee and argue that his long experience a8 a member and as an official of the committee well qualifies him to act as its head during the coming campaign. Father and Daughter Drowned. Fort Madison, Ia, July .—Hzra Parmenter and his four-year-old daugh- ter lost their lives in the Mississippi river. The family, consisting of Mr. Parmenter, his wife, daughter and two-year-old son, were in a launch when the top caught in an overhang- ing limb of a tree along the island and the launch was capsized. The wife and son miraculously escaped for sale, cheap. See me. Ji N. Baile; drowning, recching shore by a narrow margin. = | above him. BISHOP- POTTER VERY LOW Aged Prelate’s Physicians Practically Abandon Hope. Cooperstown, N. Y., July l— Bishop Potter is not expected to live through the day. He passed a rest- less night and is reported very low. After midnight Bishop Potter's con- dition was so serious that oxygen was artificially administered. His weak- ness is extreme and the doctors who are attending him have almost aban- doned hope. All the prelate’s relatives have been summoned to his bedside. The patient’s illness dates from May 1, when he was attacked by a compli- cation of stomach and liver trouble, but it was not until early in June that his condition became serious. On June BISHOP HENRY C. POTTER. 10 he was taken to Cooperstown in the hope that a change of air would benefit him. A marked turn for the better resulted almost immediately, but the oppressive heat of the past week counteracted this and Monday he suffered a dangerous relapse. Right Rev. Henry Codman Potter is the seventh bishop of the Protestant ‘Episcopal diocese of New York, which post he has held for twenty-five years, succeeding his uncle, Bishop Horatio Potter. His father was Bishop Alonzo Potter of Pennsylvania. The present bishop, who is seventy- four years old, married Mrs. Elizabeth Seriven Clark, his second wife, in 1902. Young Boy Commits Sulcide. Muscatine, Ia, July i—Adolph Meyers, the ten-year-old son of Mr, and Mrs. Frank Meyers of Spring- dale, Cedar county, hanged himself from a limb of a tree in the garden at his home. The boy had been acting strangely of late and the authorities are of the opinion that it was a case of suicide. A rope from a swing had been used and the boy’s neck was broken by the fall. In all probability he jumped to his death from the limb German M ry Airship Tested. Berlin, July .—A new military steerable airship, designed by Major Gross, chief of the balloon corps of the army, made its first ascent at Te- gel. The ship, which is 200 feet long and 83 feet in diameter, is propelled by two motors of seventy-five horse- power each. The trial trip lasted for one hour and a half and was highly successful. The experiments will be continued. Mrs. Nation Makes Threat. Des Moines, July .—Brace your nerves and gét ready to receive a sharp shock. Really it is something awful.

London, July 2.—The extraordinary demonstration before the houses of parliament made by the women suf- fragists in their effort to secure votes for themselves had a rather startling sequel when one of the women, Mary Leigh, arrested for breaking windows in the house of Premier Asquith, de- clared in the Bow street police station court that “the next time we come out you can expect hombs.” This radical statement has had the effect of drawing a greater degree of attention to the entire suffragist move- ment in England and as a result the police will hereafter have to handle the women demonstrators with less of good humored tolerance and more severity. This threat by Mary Leigh is really the sensation of the last demonstra- tion, for the much heralded attack on the house of commons was compara- tively a failure. *Nothing like the ex- pected number of suffragists appeared and the movement was lacking in defi- nite organization. The two women who broke windows in the house of the premier were sentenced to two months at hard labor without the op- tion' of paying a fine. Compared to previous punishments meted out to the suffragists here these sentences are particularly severe. MOST OF THEM GO TO JAIL Twenty-seven British Women Suffra- gists on Trial. London, July 2.—Twenty-seven out of the twenty-nine women suffragists who were arrested during the suffra- gist demonstrations before the houses of parliament were charged in the po- lice court with obstructing the police. Those against whom previous convic- tions had been entered were ordered to pay a fine and give security for their good behavior for one year or to spend three months in prison. First offenders were required to give secur- ity not to repeat the offense, in de- fault of which they were sentenced to one month’s imprisonment. A major- ity of the women elected to go to jail and serve time. MAE C. WO0OD INDICTED. Faces Trial on Charges of Perjury and Forgery. oW Turk, July 2] the Omaha woman Wy aed” oneed States Senator Thomas C. Platt for divorce, was indicted by the grand jury on charges of perjury and forgery. Miss Wood is charged with having signed Senator Platt’s name to a doc- ument acknowledging her as his wife. The perjury indictment is based on Miss Wood’s testimony in the divorce action, when she testified that she was married to the senator at the Fifth Avenue hotel in 1901. Miss Wood is at liberty on $5,000 bail. She will be arraigned in court Monday. GREATLY EXAGGERATED, Reports of Depredations Around Tor- reon, Mex, Torreon, Mex., July 2.—Reports of depredations in this neighborhood have been greatly exaggerated. This city is quiet and life and property are perfectly safe. No foreign interests have been molested, nor have they been in danger of molestation. The disorders in the country districts, which have slight political significance, have been taken advantage of by bands of peons to rob and pillage in rural neighborhoods. The situation has been well in hand at all times. Two Killed at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, July 2—Two men in- stantly killed, three seriously wound- ed, a half dozen hurt less serlously was the disastrous work wrought by the collapse of the old Baker livery building here, which was being torn down to make way for a new building. First reports estimated the number of dead at twelve. Gets Ten Years in Prison. San Francisco, July 2—Walter J. Bartnett, formerly vice president and general counsel for the California Safe Deposit and Trust company, which failed in this city last November for about $9,000,000, was sentenced to the Ban Quentin penitentiary for ten years by Superior Judge Conley. Rear Admiral Rockwell Dead. Chatham, Mass., July 2.—Rear Ad- miral Charles H. Rockwell, retired, died here of apoplexy at the age of sixty-eight years. Rear Admiral Rock- well served in the navy forty years, retiring on his own application in 1902. Orcharc’s Sentence Commuted. Boise, Ida., July 2—The stgte board i€ pardons has commuted the sentence of Harry Orchard, who was under sen- tence to hang next Friday for the murder of former Governor Frank Bteunenberg, to imprisonment for life. GETS IN THE GAME EARLY Democratic. Congressional Committes Issues Handbook. ‘Washington, July $—The Demo- cratie congressional committee has brokon its record in the issuance of a handbook four months before the pres- idential - election. This publication contains, in nearly 400 pages, extraots of speeches made in congress during the last session, most of them during ‘the month preceding the adjournment, 'this < e and s in 1lne With a similar pup- Mcation put out by the Republican con- ssional committee four years ago. t 18 the work of Representative Lloyd of Missouri, chairman of the congres- sional committee, and composed ex- clusively of congressional speeches and consequently can be franked by members of congress. After the Denver oconvention been ‘held the national Demooral committee will issue its regular hand- book as usual. The present pubfica- ticn by the congressional cemmittes, hewever, is of special interdst i de- fining what it is believed at this time will be the issues of the campaign. “Republican extravagance” is ap- parently to be the keynote of the cam- paign, as it is given the first place in the handbook. Representative Fitz- gerald of New York and Senator Cul- berson of Texas provided the materlal for this chapter in their speeches de- livered during the last days of the ses- sion. TOWNE IS IN THE RACE. Announces His Candidacy for Viea President. Chicago, July 2.—Charles A. Towne of New York has arrived in Chicago on his way to Lincoln, Neb., where he will hold a conference with William J. Bryan. Mr. Towne announced that he is a candidate for the vice presi- dential nomination on the Democratic ticket. “I am in the race,” said Mr. Towne. CHARLES A. TOWNE. “Mr. Bryan, whom I consulted a few weeks ago, is favorable to my candi dacy. Had he not been I would not be seeking the nomination. I am go- ing to Lincoln at Mr. Bryan’s request and the subject of our conference will be, of course, the vice presidential nomination.” His Condition Still Critical. Cooperstown,” N. Y., July 2.—Bishop Potter passed a fairly comfortable night. His condition, however, is no more hopeful. WANIS ONE CENT A WORD. HELP WANTED. WANTED FOR U. 5.
