Minn., - a8 second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM T e e GOOD WORDS FOR THE PRESS. A farmer, says an exchange, in speaking before an institute of his profession recently said: “Asa rule the farmer has no better friend than the country press. The home paper is distinctly the farmer’s own paper. It is composed directly or indirectly by the farmers, who composed the backbone of printer’s subscription list and largely for him the merchants advertise. Now brother, let us not forget our friends. Let us see that our sub- scription is paid before the first of January and a year in advance. Another thing, the merchants who advertise are the ones who make it possible for us to get a good local paper and the man or firms who are too penurious to advertise and help support the local press have no right to the farmer’s patronage. I propose hereafter to gotoa good, live advertiser instead of to those who propose to_take all and give nothing in return. If the farmersas a class would support their friends, the others would soon be out of business.” OBSERVATIONS. (A. G, Rutledge.] Hard words seldom make an im- pression on soft people. There is no effect without a cause —except when a woman changes her mind. All the Chinese in the country are said to have saved money. Hear it Chink. Many a man boasts of his good deeds while awaiting an opportunity to do a bad one. One husband may be enough fora woman, but one engagement is sel- dom enough for a girl. Don’t pay any attention to the disagreeable things people say about you—if they are not true. It’san easy matter to furnish en- tertainment for your neighbors. All you have to do is make a fool of| yourself. The Frenchman who thinks he will discourage the Roosevelt African trip by depicting its dangers has another thought coming. The old-fashioned barn dance has been denounced by the convention of dancing masters. It is easy to understand why. The barn dance doesn’t have to be learned it is born in a fellow and comes out naturally when he feels good. Uecision Against Lumbermen. ‘Washington, July .—The interstate commerce commission in a decision upholds the present laws enforced by the railroads requiring shippers of lumber on open cars to use stakes to secure safe transportation. The con- tention of the lumbermen was that such a practice subjected them to un- due expense. Many of the residences of Christlania etand villa-like in the midst of pretty gardens, which in summer are full of bloom and give the streets a peculiar charm and sense of openness. Within, the people live simple, wholesome lives, kindly and hospitable, with that truest hospitality which invites the guest to share in good cheer without ostentation or display. Dinner is at 3 or 4 o'clock, served by trim, fresh looking maids, and supper at 8, where. except on form- 1 occaslons, the guest is free to forage around the table for himself. ~Host and hostess drink the health of each guest with the word “skaal,” replied to by the eyes over the glass after drink 1ng. Adjourning to the drawing room. the guests thank both master and mis- tress of the house, and on the next meeting never fail to say, “Thanks for the last time.” One Is everywhere struck by the frank and unaffected sim- pliclty of the life and the straightfor- ward kindliness of the people.—H. H. D. Peirce in Atlantic. . _— Talked to the Wrong Man. ' One day an important looking gen- tleman took a seat beside a quiet man In an Arkansas railway carrlage and began a conversation. “I'm going up to Little Rock,” he sald, “to get a pardon for a conyicted thief. I'm not personally acquainted ‘with the governor, but he can’t afford to refuse me.” “Is the fellow gullty?’ asked the man. “Of course he is. But that makes no difference. His friends have agreed to glve me $500 if I get him out, and the thermometer is very low when I can’t put up a good talk. Where are you traveling?” “Going to Little Rock.” } “Do you live there?” i “Yes.” “Perhaps you might be of some serv- ice to me. What business are you in?” “I am the governor.”—8t. Louis Re- VAST CROWD PRESERT SCENE AN ANIMATING ONE Preliminary Proceedings Concluded by Adoption of Resolutions of Re: spect to the Memory of the Late Grover Cleveland. Denver, July i—The Democratic national convention began its sessions amid scenes of stirring animation. The vast amphitheater of the Audi- torfum was packed .with 12,000 people, an ever moving, intense and expectant throng, moved by patriotic airs and stirred into tumultuous demonstration | as a silken portrait of Bryan was borne within the hall. It was just 12:20 when Chairman Taggart of the national committee called the convention to order. Bishop J. J. Keane of Cheyenne, Wyo., pro- nounced the opening invocation, an impressive plea for divine grace on the convention’s deliberations. The convention promptly perfected the pra- liminary organization, electing Theo- dore A. Bell of California as temporary ohairman. The keynote speech of the temporary presiding officer start- ed the echoes ringing and brought forth enthusiastic demonstrations for Bryan and the other party idols. The appointment of the conventfon com- mittees and the presentation of reso- lutions of respect to the memory of the late Grover Cleveland completed the formal work of the day. Public interest was entirely cen tered in the opening session of the convention and aside from this the early part of the day brought few de- velopments of importance as to candi- dates or platforms. The overwhelm- ing drift of sentiment cgutinued to- ward Eryan and the enthusiasm of the :ge%ng gession only emphasized his imtanding hold of the convention. Taggart Calls for Order. Bhortly after 13 o’clock Chi Thomas Taggart of the national cof mittee brought down his gavel with a resounding whack and caljed the eon- vention to order. Cheers followed the blow of the gavel gnd Chairmgn Tag- gart, as soon as they had subsided, spoke as follows: ? “As chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee it becomes my pleas- "|ing duty to call this convention to or- der; and, in so doing, I cannot refrain from the suggestion that in numbers, in the personusl of the delegates, in entbusiasm and in the determination of victory it is the greatest political convention ever assembled in the United States.” 'ollowing Mr. Taggart’s remarks thé sdcretary read the official call of the gonvention. delivered the invooation, delegates and spectators rising to their feet at the request of the.chairman. the midat of the prayer a photog- er in the gallery set off a flash- lght, calling down on his head the wrath of all who were grouped in his vicinity. The smoke from the explo- gion filled a corner of the hall, much to the annoyauce of évery one in that section of the building. “I am directed by the national com- mittee,” said Chairman Taggart, “to nambd the temporary officers of the convention and the clerk will read the Hat,"” 'he name of Theodore A. Bell was grested with an outburst of applause, es was that of Urey Woodson, the sec- each of the other names as they were called. The list as read was unani- mously adopted by the convention. Chairman Taggart appoifited Gov- ernor Blanchard of Louisians, Lieu- tenant Governor Ellison of Virginia and Representative Ollle James of Kentucky as a committes of three to esoort Temporary Chairman Bell to the speaker's rostrum. Chairman Bell Introduced. Before Mr. Bell spoke Chairman Taggart requested that there should be mo smoking in the hall. The an- nouncement was greeted with ap- Blauss. “fGientlemean of the conventien,” said Mr. T:g:nl, a8 the committee of three Rppea: on the platformy with Chair- an Bell, “I take pleasure in introdue- T 5‘5 fou your temporary chairman, Theddore A. Bell.” An ingtant shout of applause greet- ed the Words of the chaifman and as the temporary chaiPman advanced to the front to deliver his address the ckears were redoubled. . Bell is about five feet ten inches in height, slender, clean shaven, brown eyed and brown haired. He was garbed in coanventional afternoon at- tire. His volce is clear and penetrat- ing and he had no difficulty in com- \ndipg the close and ipstant atten t! of the convention. ‘'he delegates Were prome to ap- plaud from the utterance of Mr. Bell's first sentence. His manper of delivery called attention to his pbints and there was spontaneous handolapping at the eonclusion of each of his grace- fully rounded periods. Galleries, too, Joined liberally in the applause be- stowéd upon the speaker. Laughter and eheers greeted the speaker’s anaouncement that he had read deeply in the Chicago platform and he had failed to find therein an; thing about “Republican prosperity.” His sargestic allusions fo the claims of excellent management of the coun- try made by the Republicans also elicited the approval of the delegates. As Mr. Bell approached the subject of the anti-injanction plank the atten- tion of the convention was quickened and his statemert that the Republicag declaration on that subject was mere- 1y a recital of existing law called out increased applause.

A few handclaps followed | cIples hé Bag practiced” —~~~ = At the prediction of Mr. Bell that the convention would name the next president of the United States and his allusion in the most pointed manner to Mr. Bryan the roar of delight broke -loose once more. Many of the New York delegates joined in the demon- stration, but the majority of -them re- mained passively in their seats. Illi- nols acted in exactly the same man- ner and while Nebraska, Kansas, Okla- joma and Arkansas, with delegations from the Far West, yelled and stamped in approval, the men from Georgila, ‘West Virginia, North and South Care- | lina and Vermont sat silent and gave no tribute to the first unmistakeable aHusion to Mr. Bryan as a presiden- tlal candidate. Mr. Bell called out another demon- stratfon when he sharply criticised the Republican party for its refusal to adopt a plank calling for the publicity of campaign contributions prior to election day. He declared the refusal of the Republicans to adopt a “cash register” was a “confession of dishon- esty.” At the conclusion of the speech the delegates rose to their feet and cheered Mr. Bell for some time. The roll was then called by states for membership on the various stand- ing committees of the convention. The chair recognized I J. Dunn of Omaha to present the resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Gro- ver Cleveland, prepared at a confer- ence of the friends of Mr. Bryan. More than a score of the convention committee on resolutions approved the Cleveland tribute as offered. Charles Bryan, a brother of the candidate, was a member of the conference. The recognition of Mr. Dunn shut oft the Parker resolution. The Dunn resolution follows: Resolution Eulogizing Cleveland. “As it has pleased the ruler of the universe to remove from our midst | Grover Cleveland, late president of the United States, who was three times the candidate of the Democratic party, be it “Resolved, That we, the delegates of the party in natfonal convention as- sembled, recognize in him one of the strongest and ablest characters known to thé world’s statesmanship, who pos- sgssed to an extraordinary degree the elements of leadership and by his able, conscientious and forccful ad- ministration of public affairs reflected honor upon his country and his party, and, “Resolved, That we hereby express our deep sorrow at his death and ex- tend our warmest sympathy and con- dolence to his family and that this resolution be spread upon the records of the convention and a copy be for- warded to Mrs. Cleveland, and, “Resolved; As a further mark of re- gpect to his memory the convention do now adjourn.” Following the reading of the Dunn resolution there were loud calls for Judge Parker, who had prepared a Cleveland resolution sald to be ob- jectionable to the Bryan men. Judge Parker finally mounted the platform and said that it was his purpose, had be been fortunate enough to first se- oure the attention of the chair, to offer a resolution on the subject. He then read the rosolution prepared by him and was accorded most considerate at- tention. At the end of his reading Judge Parker joined in the Dunn res- olutlon by saying: ‘“And, therefore, I beg leave to second the motion of the gentleman from Nebraska.” The gquestion of adopting the Ne- braska resolution was put and con- vention -adjourned.
