@ , MINNESOTA DEMS THEY NOMINATE JOHN LIND FOR GOVERNOR. - ‘The Deal With the Populists and a Silverites Is Consummated by the State Convention— Places Are Left on the Ticket for the Populists—Lawler, Cutcheon Democratic and McCafferty Denied Seats in the Convention. Minneapolis, Aug. 6. — The Demo- cratic state convention was held here yesterday, Ex-Speaker Champlin of Blue Earth City was chairman. The following ticket was nominated and is in accordance with a fusion deal with the Populists: Governor—John Lind of Brown, Secretary of State—Julius Heinrichs nh. surer~Alexander McKinnon of dential Electors — John Day Smith of Hennepin, H. H. Bonniwell of McLeod, Wilson Borst of Cotton- wood, Charles d’Autremont of St. John H. Ives of Ramsey. here Was a scene of wild confusion when the report of the credentials committee was presented, recommend- ing the expulsion of National Comiit- teeman Daniel W. Lawler, F. W. M. Cutcheon and Judge McCafferty, from the Ramsey delegation, on the ground that they had bolted Bryan and the platform.’ An attempt was made to give Lawler and Cutcheon a hearing, but when they attempted to speak, they were howled dey Both spoke defiantly and declared Tat while they could not vote for McKinley, they would not vote for Bryan. Cutcheon is to be the Minnesota representative at the gold Democratic conference at Indianapolis. The committee report ly adopted after a wild time. Following it the platform: First—The Democracy of the State of Minnesota, in convention assembled, hereby reaffirms the p!atform recently adopted at Chicago, and hereby approves its selection of candidates, Bryan and Sewall, for the high offices of president and vice president. “Second—We further denounce the plat- form of the Republican party on the ali- absorbing issue of the day, namely, honest money. It proposes to favor bimetallism, yet it proposes to submit the question to other leading nations, when it well knows that those nations are solidly in favor of the continuation of the present gold stand- ard. The question therefore now before the people is whether we shall be obliged to remain on the gold standard, with all its destructive tendencies, or whether we shall follow the traditional policy of the United States and hold both gold and silver to be the standard money of our people, freely coined on the old legal ratio of 16 to 1. On this all-important question we earnestly invite the co-operation of every citizen who is anxious for the future prosperity of the country. “Third—We demand that the policy which for the past thirty-eight years has con- trolled the legislation of our state and the administration of its institutions and affairs be now changed. Wrongs older than a gen- eration remain to be redressed. No state can prosper which commits for so long a period its affairs to the sime political par- ty. We now congratulate the people that this long period of misgovernment is about to end, and that the people are now ready to resume their right of honest government and the reform of all abuses. “Fourth—We denounce the Republican party of the state for its subserviency to corporations, rings and trusts and its total disregard of the great producing masses, the middle classes, the common people, farmers, mechanics and laboring men. We hold that these latter classes should espe- cially receive the fair and first consideration e ve and executive powers of pledge the peop.e, if given corporate and monopolistic d and power shall not con- trol our conduct, and that, while we have no desire to strike down or injure in the slightest degree vested rights, we will see to it that the rights of the common people shall not be trenched upon, but jealously guarded. “Fifth—The ballot is the weapon of Amer- ican freemen, and the sacredness of the ballot can o be preserved by its secrecy, We unquali y condemn all efforts of cor- porate or private employers to inquire into or inv ate and uncover the true sentl- ments of the voting employe; thus by a covert threat challenging his vote and neu- tralizing his influence, and making him tributary to interests which may be op- posed to the interests of the people. “Sixth—The constitution provides that taxation of property shall be as nearly equal as possible. We therefore demand that iron mines d unused railroad lands be required to a fair and just tax In the same manner that other property is taxed. “Seventh—We are furthermore opposed to the struck jury law, and demand its re- peal. “Kighth—We demand an amendment to the constitution of the United States pro- viding that the election of president. vice president and United States senators be by a di vote of the people. “Ninth—We favor all legislation looking to the construction and maintenance of good roads in the State of Minnesota.” Killed by Lightning. Plainview, Minn., Aug. 6.—John, the eighteen-year-old son of Gotleib Roth- er, was killed by lightning this morn- ing. He was stacking and crawled under the side of the stack when the storm came up.

St. Paul, Aug. 6. — State Auditor Dunn has served notice on the man- agers of state institutions that they must reduce expenses. He has sent a letter to the head of every state char- able and correctional institution, giving warning that unless expenses are reduced he will refuse to audit ‘the bills. Died Suddenly. Albert Lea, Minn., Aug. 6.—Joseph Pell, an aged Bohemian of Hayward township, arose this morning and com- plained of not feeling Yon His wife went into the field to tell a son and when she returned the old man had expired.

Little Falls, Minn., Aug. 4.—A terri- ble tragedy occurred in the town of Randall, near Darling station in the main line of the Northern Pacific rail- way, six miles northeast of this city this morning. Erick Eckman shot and instantly killed Daniel Clough, one of his neighbors, without apparent prov- ocation. The crime is said to have been the result of a dispute between the two men which occurred some time ago about a contract which Eck- man had for clearing land for the mur- dered man. ‘The two men were on their way with two others to a meeting at the district school house and Eckman, without warning, pulled his revolver and shot Clough through the heart. He then turned and fired at one of the others, named Victor Erickson, but missed. He was disarmed by his son-in-law, Abraham Johnson. The murdered man was living on a farm, but had con- tracted for piling lumber at saw mills in this city. He was thirty-eight years of age and leaves a wife and two chil- dren. The murderer was sixty years of age. He is said to be very quarrel- some. He claims that he does not know anything about the crime, say- ing that he had been drinking alcohol. Eckman was breught to this city and lodged in jail. Minnesota Bidders. Washington, Aug. 5. — This was a great day for the manufacturers of war material, and many great corpora- tions and firms were represented at the war and navy departments to-day when bids were opened for supplying a large quantity of gun cartridges, mor- tars, shot and shell of various kinds. Probably not since the late war has the ordnance bureau of the war de- partment been able to lay so extensive a programme for one year’s work as is now made possible by the liberal appropriations made by congress for the defense of our sea coast. Conse- quently, there were many bidders for supplying the large quantity of ma- terial, raw and complete, included in the first call for proposals. The first bids opened were for supplying gun carriages. There were twelve bidders, among them the American Hoist and Derrick Company of St. Paul, and this company bid $11,800 each for ten car- riages or more, deliveries to begin in six months and continue at. the rate of one every six weeks. The South- wark foundry fixed the price of one carriage at $12,660, and offered to build ten or more at $11,500 each and to make the delivery in five months, so it will be difficult to decide between them. Foolish Boy. Tyler, Minn., Aug. 5.—Mariin Petev- son, aged sixteen, son of J. C. Peter- son, living five miles south of here, was shot through the head yesterday afternoon by George Miller, the fif- teen-year-old son of a neighbor, and now lies in a very critical condition. The Miller boy was spending the day at Peterson’s, and had his rifle with him. He was continually pointing the weapon at young Peterson, who pro- tested in vain. He finally aimed at Peterson’s head and pulled the trigger. The ball passed in at the left side of the nose and came out behind the right ear. Seeing what he had done, Miller tled from the barn and entered a corn fiela half a mile distant, and has not been seen since. The boys were good friends and were much together, con- sequently it is regarded as a case of extreme carelessness. About eight years ago young Miller had a brother shot and killed in a similar manner. Morken Ditch Moorhead, Minn., Aug. 5.—Ald. Jas. Kennedy of Fargo has returned from St. Paul, where he succeeded in ob- taining the contract for digging the Morken ditch, which runs from the sand hills in Clay county to the Red river, a distance of nine miles.

Winnipeg, Aug. 5.—A severe storm passed over a small portion of the province last night, and many farmers will be sufferers thereby. The hail arena appears to have been about twelve miles wide and to have trav- eled from northwest of Glenboro across Cypress river, and southeast into Tiger Hills, destroying everything in its path. From Cypress river, Holland and Glenboro the reports are that hail has totally destroyed the crops of sev- eral farmers and severely damaged others. At Morden also there was some damage done, but the extent is not yet known. Considerable glass in the Canadian Pacific depot there was broken. There was hail at Gretna, Altona, Rosenfelt, St. Jean, Somerset and other places, but no damage to crops in these localities is reported. At St. Jean the Northern Pacific depot was considerably damaged, the plat- form being torn up and the roof part- ly blown off. At Baldur several farm- ers will lose nearly all their crops.

Peter Peter- son’s house was entirely destroyed. There were nine people in the house, but only two were injured, most of them taking the precaution to go into the cellar. An old lady was blown out in the wreck and badly shaken up. Her shoulder was injured and she re- ceived wounds on the face. .A boy four years old was badly cut on the head. The house was a total loss. An old man attempted to hold the door from blowing in. The next thing he knew he was still holding the door but it was on the ground forty feet away. A heating stove was carried 100 feet and demolished. A barn a block away was blown to the ground. The horses were jerked out of their halters and were found uninjured in a pasture. Going east the cyclone turned a school house and granary around and did more or less damage. Mr. Peterson, whose house was_de- stroyed, arrived home from a trip to the mountains half an hour after the storm undid his place. His house was gone and a neighboring physician was sewing up the wound in his boy’s head. Today the children are climbing eround over the demolished house which was once their home. Every- thing is smashed, and the little ones look homeless, indeed. Further reports from the storm are coming in. Fred Hankhe just drove into town. His house was blown fif- teen rods, and he lost his entire crop of wheat by hail. Hans Moe has just arrived in town. He brought back the twine he bought Saturday. He lost 175 acres of wheat and fifty of barley. Many more farmers in the gt lost their crop by hail. <A ort has ached here that at Warsaw much dathage was done by hail. Julius Iver- son’s barn was struck by lightning and consumed. He lost four horses. The storm was the worst that has ever struck this vicinity. Winona, Minn., Aug. 5.—The electric- al storm which visited Winona this morning was one of the severest ex- perienced here this season, and was accompanied by a very heavy fall of rain. Reports received from the coun- try are as yet somewhat meager. In the vicinity of Bethany considerable damage was done to flax by hail. Tel- ephone connection with there was de- stroyed by the storm, and exact par- ticulars are hard to obtain. Some damage was done to telephone and other wires by lightning, and several buildings were also siruck but no seri- ous damage resulted. A very high wind prevailed, blowing many limbs from handsome shade trees of the West end. A flagstaff on the Pos block was struck and shat- tered. A bolt went Gown the chimney ef Kingsbury’s West end grocery, causing three sharp reports which quickly brought out of the house the residents of tne upper story. No dam- age showed inside the building, the Hghtning having passed down to the cellar through the interior of the chim- ney. At the Winona Young Ladies’ seminary the lightning passed down the elevator shaft. It was seen by sev- eral and described as a bail of livid fire. Two sisters, members of the fac- ulty, were near the shaft, and for an instant were enveloped in apparent flames. A fiag draped on an adjacent wall was framed with the fiery fluid. The sisters escaped unhurt and the flag was unscorched. ‘The damage done was nominal. Willmar, Minn., Aug. 5. — Reports come from the towns of Edwards, Whitefield and Holland, in the south- “ern part of the county, that a severe hailstorm passed there, lasting about an hour, early this morning, destroying thousands of acres of grain.

A Chicago Dispatch Says That's Why Schweinfurth Is Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Aug. 2.—Schweinfurth, the so-called Messiah, whose doings and teachings have been more or less before the American people for several years past, is the subject of a sensa- tional article published in to-day’s Chi- cago Tribune. The article is made up of telegrams from Rockford, IIL, where Schweinfurth’s “heaven” is Io- cated at present, from Minneapolis, where Schweinfurth is temporarily re- siding, and elsewhere. Several col- umns are devoted to the man the Tribune speaks of as a “fraud.” While preparing this attack the Tribune sent a special correspondent to Minneapo- lis to interview Schweinfurth in per- son in regard to various charges which it makes against him, but the “false Christ” refused to affirm or deny the reports. In Rockford it is said that criminal proceedings are to be pushed against him for his alleged immorality, in par- ticular with a Mrs. Tuttle. This wo- man, who was an inmate of the “heaven,” according to the Tribune, has borne two children whose birth she ascribes to “immaculate concep- tion.” “Birdie” and “Aerial” are the names of the two little girls, and ig- norant, unfeeling people have attrib- uted their paternity to Schweinfurth. The latter, however, says the Chicago paper, has undert: ken to shut off any testimony Mrs. Tuttle might give against him by marrying her, and at- tributes Schweinfurth’s present resi- dence in Minneapolis to a desire to carry out that intention, asserting, in fact, that the marriage may already have been solemnized. At any rate, Mrs. Tuttle is in Minneapolis in com- pany with Schweinfurth and his sis- ter, Marie. It is further claimed that the “false Christ’ has confessed to George Eddy, “one of his dupes,” that he has led a false life, and that he is the father of the two children whose conception was sacreligiously called immaculate. 2 BOB WILSON’S SISTER. W. F. Lick Thinks the Wyoming Murderer Was His Brother-in-Law. St. Paul, Aug. 2—Bob Wilson, who was killed by a sheriff’s posse while resisting arrest for the murder of Ed- ward Paul and Jacob Hayes at Wyom- ing several weeks ago, is thought to have a sister in Minneapolis, Mrs. W. F. Lick, of 2129 Fifth street south. Her husband saw a picture of Wilson in the office of Dr. Foster, who was as- saulted at the time of the murder, and he is positive that the dead murderer was his brother-in-law. To-day Mr. Lick called on Dr. Fos- ter and asked to see the photograph of Kelly, Johnson and Wilson, the *hree men who committed the murder. The likeness of Wilson was not a very good one, but he was certain that it was the picture of his wife’s brother. His wife, he thought, could identify it if she could see it. Dr. Foster called up the chief of detectives, and De- tective Grueber was sent to his office in the Lowry arcade. Lick appeared so certain that it was deemed advisa- ble to allow his to take the photo- graph to Minneapolis to show to his wife. The police are hopeful that, if Lick is right, they may get some defi- nite information about Kelly and Johnson as well as about Wilson. YOUNG COULDN'T PROVE IT, The Waiters He Accused of Hanging Him Are Discharged. Minneapolis, Aug. 2. — The charge against William Jenks, Al Brown, Frank McBeth and John Snipes, the colored. walters charged with attempt- ing to lynch F. B. Young at Hotel Re Louis, was dismissed by Judge Kerr this morning. ‘The complainant testi- fied that about thirty-five waiters took him to a dark woods, and there, because he would not confess to steal- ing $55 from another waiter, strung him up twice to the limb of a tree. He depicted the hanging graphically, but the evidence for the defense was too strong for him to overcome, especial- ly since it appeared that his evidence was colored from what he hed had to drink. , Fell From a Train.

LAST DAYS OF POMPEII. “ENGUUNO GOMd UOA it Will Be Produced at St. Paul, Minn., During the Encampment. One of the features of the G. A. R. en- tampment will be the grand pyrotechnic display known as the “Last Days of Pom- peli,” which was produced at the world’s fair and has never been seen elsewhere in its perfection except at Manhattan Beach, . Y, The management of this spectacle has been induced to produce it here during encampment week. It is said that it re- quires twenty cars to transport the scenery and apparatus used in giving the display. The story of the “Last Days of Pompeii,” as graphically described in the last chap- ters of Lord Lytton’s celebrated book, is wonderfully and vividly brought out in this realistic work. It is a matter of congratu- lation that visitors to St. Paul that week may be permitted to see it. Encampment Rates. Inquiries are frequently received at Grand Army headquarters in St. Paul about rail- road rates for the encampment from points in the Northwest. This information can be obtained from local agents. In most cases the rate will be one fare for the round trip. The time limit on tickets, when sold, will be fifteen days, but the time may be ex- tended to Sept. 30 by depositing tickets with the joint agent in St. Paul before Sept 15.
