The delegates to the congressional and state conventions, met this week at St. Cloud and Minneapolis, arrived home last evening. ‘They report that completely harmonious gathering was never held in Muinne- sota. ‘Towne wasthe unanimous choice as to the congressioal nominee for the Sixth district, while John Lind experienced no opposition.

Ihave been slandered and hounded for two years, I have been silent under it all for the good of this party, forthe salvation of our moye- ment, to prevent a factional fight in our ranks and because I could not bring myself to wallow in the mire into which I was invited to descend. I was willing to be crucified for the good of the party. I would not be the cause of any factional fight i I propose to show who is the traitor here. “Show him up,’?shouts Gibbs. Mr, Owen then reviewed his connection party: governor when it meant election by a large majority. He took a slap at Donnelly thus: In 1888 the man who slanders me was supporting Bill Mer- riam and was getting good money for it.” Great confusion followed and it was several could go on. “This man_ prates of loyalty. He never felta single fidelity in all his life that could not be dissipated by the sight of a little lucre. Now he comes here and tells us to be loyal. As to fusion I can only say that to me principles are more than parties.

The crowd was in perfect confusion, and a stampede seemed imminent. For ten minutes Owen’s opponents stamped, shouted and howled. But he stood tis ground and patiently waited. ‘You shall hear me if I have to wait all night,” cried he. Mr. Donnelly came to rescue when a crisis seemed imminent. “T want my friends to give Mr. Owena fair chance,” he said. “I only want apn opportunity to defend my character from the assult made upon me.” “Kor years,” continued Owen, “I have been silent from high and patrotic motives, but when this man hurls his dastardly charges at me he in the face of my personal sacrifices .for the party, I can no jonger remain silent.

Sales to be Held at Duluth and Crookston Aug, 2 and 16. AWashington telegram, June 5 says: The Red Lake pine lands are to be sold to the highest bidder at Duluth and Crookston on Aug. 2 and16 respec- tively, under regulations approved by thesecretary of theinterior. Commis- stoner Herman of the general land office, is preparing copies ofthe in- structions to the local officers, together with regulations for the disoposal of these lands. Under law, they must be sold _in- forty-one tracts of the basis on the esti- mates recently made by the corps under Chief Seelye. The law further provides that no less than $3 per acre shall be accepted for these tracts. All tracts undisposed of at pubic sale are reserved for private sale atany time under all the conditions relating to public offe rs To the credit of Superintendent F.A. McHugh of the County poor farm the jury made the following re- port of their inspectlon tour of the premises: “We have inspected the &|county poor farm and find it all ina satisfactory condition and found no word of complaint from the inmates a Some School Facts. The Magnet stated this week that Miss Bracy ‘Was simply given the preference and the same figures,” refefring to the schookhbrarian salary steal. The persom who gave this information to the Magnet either deliberately lied or did not know what he was talking abcut, according to Trustee E. A. Kremer. A_ public school library % a very part of the school itself. and is as much identified with the different. branches»of educa- tion as. age xeading, writing and arith- metic. b all village schools through- out the country—in every state—the library 1s sustained by the teachers without extra compensation. During vacation a librarian 1s appointed. ‘Two years ago Miss Lena McCarthy suggested to the board that a suitable person should be designated to act in that capacity. Mr. Brady, then a /member of the board, promptly res | ponded, tnat his daughter, Miss Bessie would assume that responsibility. Trustee Kremer enquired of Miss Mc- Carthy what she considered it would be worth to act as librarian during vacation. Her reply was that ten dollars for the term would be ample compensation, Trustee Kremer en- quired of Trustee Brady if his daugh- ter would serve for that sum if she were appointed. Mr. Brady replied that she would. It appears that Miss Brady was appointed. Trustee Kre- mer remarked at the time of this in- cident that he anticipated a future bill for more than ten dollars a year, | but declared himself most emphatical- ly prepared to meet and defeat the scheme. Two years passed away and} twenty dollars was the amount due Miss Brady, under the stipulated agree- ment. The bill was allowed and just one hundred doliars was added to the amount—one hundred dollars deliber- ately stolen from the school funds af this district. It is represented in the Magnet that the board decided to pay $5 per month to a librarian and that ‘Trustee Brady’s daughter was ap- pointed to that position. The Mag- net is mistaken. The amount agreed upon was $10 per year. Our con- temporary entirely ignores the more We have them—Prices Right. Coal Oil (Qts. and 2-Qfs.)

Medicine. he Three weeks ago, old Chief, e em-up, a Chippewa chief, living’ on. Wake-em-up bay, across Lake Vermil;- lion from Tower,died and was buried, Wake-em-up was only 73 of age. A tumor or abcess on his neck was pre-.” sumably the caus of his demise. ° ~ Now, Wake-em-up’s father did not: go to the happy hunting grounds till’ 115 years of age, After the band of Chippewas had pondered and discuss-' ed the matter, they decided that no- thing but fire could destroy the “bad medican” that carried off their-chief, so they decided last week to, cremate’ he body. A funeral pyre of brush and wood accordingly was made on the lakeshore and the body of the deceased red man was reduced ta ashes. Each member of the band took q sinall quantity of the ashes, then a big feast was made, at which Wake- em-up’s eldest Son was chosen to suc- ceed his father as chieftain. This is the first Known case of a Chippewa ever having heen cremated by his own people. Chief Wake-em-up was a man of much natural ability and strength of character. Itis said by some that he was a renegade from Canada. Be that as it may, his natural ability and bent of leadership made him the head of that band. He was crafty important matter—the false returns as! to salary paid ‘Trustee Bra-ly’s d tugh-| ter. The school laws ot the state re- | quire that every teacher tua public’ school shall certify to the county} superintendent the amount of com ' pensation received. Mr. Brady’s: daughter certificd that she received ' $50 dollars pzr month when in fact; the treasurer’s report shows that! she received $60 per month during: the year.

It torgot, too, to ex and sharp and continually was show- ing up real ar imaginary wrongs per- petrated by white men on the band, He was especially troublesome at times to the indjan agent. Wake-em-up wasa well known tigure on the streets of Tower. He had a true Indian thirst for had whis- ky, and was no slouch at poker.. In his little camp were a number of members of the tribe that were ‘al- most whiteand fully civilized. They did masonary work, and a few years ago Wake-em-up professed religion, although it never seemed to be more than skin deep. Once, in Tower, he was twitted of his wrong dcing, to which he replied; Ah, me catch um Jesus,” meaning that he had been’ converted and cured of his bad habits, —News Tribune.
