John Lind was nominated, but no county option plank appears in the platform, Will John accept the nomination, especially under those circumstances? Aldrich and Nelson edit the Fair- mont Daily Sentinel, the official pub- lication of Frank Day, chairman of the Democratic state central com- mittee. Those names are too Rep- ublican for a Democratic paper. The Democrats showed good judgement in endorsing C.- L. Brown, of Morris. and P. E- Brown, of Luverne, as judges of the Supréme Court. Both men were nominated by the Republi- cans and by being placed on'the democratic ticket also, their elect- 10n is assured. There can be no doubt, but that the principle of a district primary is right, providing ‘the proper methods are employed. A Wiscon- sin exchange says that ‘““no con- vention system in‘ vogue in this state ever called for the expendit- ure of any where nsar the money has been spent in campaigns under the primary election law.” May be Wisconsin has yet to find the proper methods. The St. Paul Commercial club has recomended that the city lim- its be enlarged to take in several small towns close by so that the population may be increased and the city rank higher. We suggest that the Saintly city might take in its sister, Minneapolis, and make one large city called “Twin Cities, Minnesota” with St.” Paul and Minneapolis oiganized as separate boroughs. This plan made New York grow. Some papers: are -crowing in’ big headlines over the fact that William Jennings Bryan has been defeated in hisown state. They take this from the fact that he was unable: to force a county option plank into the state Democratic platform in’ the atate convention Tuesday. Deeper than the sutface it will be seen that Bryan’s defeat is not a bad one and has many elements of victory. He lost out by a vote of 465 ‘to 394 only’ thirty-five votes from an even split. It is: doubtful |if there is- another Democrat.in the country today who can force a fight on local option in his state conven- tion and come as close~to an even break as did Bryan. Speaking of the Democrats, another presidential possibility has come to the fore this week. Governor Burke; of Nort akota, has received two indorsements in| his own state and is ready for others. With Burke, Harmon of Ohio, Folk .of Missouri, and'Bryan of Nebraska in the field, it would bardly erowd it Thonsand Of ‘Exiles Assem-' any to bring out a Minnesota man.

Chicago, July 28.—A total of eight- een miraculous cures are: reported as a result of the annual Novena just ended at the shrine of St. Amme in this city and at St. Anne, IIL It is said that people who came from twenty-seven states on crutches went home without them. The blind could see and the deaf could hear. Leo Griffen, Eagle Grove, Ia., who has not been able to walk since child- hood, due to spinal weakness, stood up straight in the pew and then, dis- carding his armchair, walked home, claiming a cure. Arthur 'Raymond, Republic, Mich.,, who has been deaf, claims to be regaining his hearing. Several thousand persons -attended, coming from as far west as California, and with their friends they visited the church daily during the Novena. Although a total of eighteen cures were reported to Father J. V. La Marre, pastor, since the pilgrimage began nine days ago they will be guarded from the public until probing authenticates them.

There is every prospect of desperate fighting between the exiles: and the government forces and the disorders that are expected all over Catalonia will probably exceed ' in bloodshed last summer’s rioting. Many people doubt, indeed, if this year's revolt wili" be crushed out before the present Spanish™ dynasty is overthrown: Just how many exiles ‘will' join in the march from here upon Barcelona It is impossible to determine. Senor ‘Claremont, the leader of the rebels, says there will be 20,000. His esti- mate is probably too high, but it is a fact that the men have been reaching nere for more than a month and that | already 8000 or 10,000 are on the seene. Exiles Asked General Amnesty. The prospective invasion: is to fol- low.a formal demand from the exiles themselves for a general amnesty for last - summer’s outbreak. Knowing that the exiles are made of irrecon- cilables the government refused. Claremont. thereupon gave notice that unless the government yielded by July 29 he would resort to force. The general strike at Barcelona was decided upon for the express purpose *| of aiding the movement by giving the government the trouble to look after at home at the same time the invasion begins on the border. The emnergy with which the city’s: population gen- erally conducts a strike leaves -no doubt that it will be an exceedingly dangerous affair. Large quantities of arms, ammunition and bombs are said to have been concealed in the city in readiness for 'use against troops. Altogether the situation 18 ominous. General Weyler, the captain general at Barcelona, declares he does not be- lieve the exiles will dare to cross the frontier or that the strikers will re- sort to violence, but the extent and completeness, of the military precau- tions he has taken suggest that he speaks far more optimistically than he feels. “BUTCHER” WEYLER. ¥ Captain General of Barcelona to Crush Proposed Uprising.

BRYAN BEATEN IN HIS OWN STATE Gounty.Gption: Plan Turned Down by Nebraska Convention. Grand Island, Neb., July 28—Will- fam J. Bryan, for eighteen years the leader of the Democratic party in Ne- braska and a national figure in Demo- cratic politics, was literally thrown out of his party when the Democratic state convention refused to insert Bryan’s county ‘option- plank in the party platform. The convention rejected the plank by the:vote of 198 for to 647 against. Bryan had been placed on the com- mittee on resolutions. He brought into the convention a minority report for the adoption of a county option fore. I wish you great success and prosperty in your gcod work of saving men.. s - : (Signed) - . A Al .

But when Bryan arose to talk he knew he was beaten.. He spoke for one hour and a half. His speech was a plea to the Democratic party to save itself. He dealt with the mis- takes the party had made and warned it not to make the mistake of avoid- ing the liquor question. At the close of the address Bryan intimated that he was through with directing the party. He stated that he had put the question up to them, but they had turned him down and now they could take the consequences. WILSON. REAGHES SEATTLE Secretary Spent Ten Days in Idaho and’ Montana Forest ‘Reserves. Seattle, July 28.—Secretary of Agri- ‘| culture: James- Wilson, with his son Jasper, who is also his private secre- tary, arrived in Seattle on a trip of personal inspection of the Northwest- sern: forest: reserves.

Chicago, July 28.-—A strong plea tor the co-operation of railroad employes with their employers in opposing the anti-railroad propaganda is being cir- culated by Vice President and Gen-' eral Manager W, L. Park of the dlli- nois Central. ~He has issued a pamphlet containing the railroad ar- guments which is being. distributed nois: Central, “~ Mr. Park says that the .apathy of employes and the adverse sentiments expressed: by a.few should be correct- ed by such as are naturally leaders by placing in the hands of the uninformed data showing the true condition of af- fairs.. He suggests that each employe should in the course of ‘a_year “con- vert three or four of those who, from misinformation, are now opposed to the railroads.” “The conductor ‘can make a friend. quite frequently of an entire stranger,” he says, “by showing him a little extra attention. This is true also of the agent and station em- ployes, who daily come in: contact with the public. This propaganda among railroad employes,” he says, “will go far to change sentiment against: the railroads and positively among the 40,000 employes of the mLi Pills have given me great relief and - must redound to the benefit of the em-| ployes.” “Under the cloak that the railroads need regulatjon,” 'he -declares; “they are being nnJustly attacked on all sides. “It must be understood that it is a financial impossibility for the railroad companies to continue to meet the de mands for increased wages unless their earnings are bolstered by in- creased rates.” Those who pursue happiness are for- tunate to catch up with content. The “Don’t Need To” Theory In a recent debate at Reno Mr. James Jeffries failed to convifice Mr. John of work. Business was good and his profits were big. Having all the money he could handle at the time he concluded to take To be sure, he planned to get in the field again at the proper time. But everything was rosy and there really seemed no good and sufficient reason why he should spend so many hours a day keepmg his muscles lithe and strong and his wind good and his heart and nerves in trim. " Eventually the meeting with Mr. Johnson was arranged. Mr. Jeffries was still tolerably content with what he had done. (Brother, a has-done is about as'bad as a has-been. Mr. Jeffries did not care to stand up in the training ring and punch and take punches. He did not see any necessity of practicing sldesteps and feints Mr. Johnson did not overlook the boxing and the wrestling and the clinch- ing and the sidestepping, etc. As a result, Mr. Jeffries recewed Mr. Johnson s compllments on the point of the jaw and his business career closed.
