CANDIDATES ®RIMARY ELECTIONS HELD FOR CONGRESSMEN AND COUN- TY OFFICERS. BITTER FIGHT IN NEW YORK ODELL FACTION DEFEATED BY ROOSEVELT’S FRIENDS—MUR- PHY WINS OUT. St. Paul, Sept. 19.—Primary elec- tions for congressional candidates and for candidates for county officers were held yesterdty in Minnesota, Interést ‘centered in the congressional nomina- tions. In five of the districts the con- tests “were unusually bitter. Retu:ns are coming in very slowly and :esuits in some districts are uncer- tain. Congressman Stevens is renomi- neted in the Fourth district by a vote of ala-ost three to one. At midnight returns from sixty-five precincts in St. Paul gave Stevens 4,857 to 1,118 for Rogers. Incomplete returns from Still- water save Stevens 644 and Rogers 237. North St. Paul gave Stevens 113 and Kegers 60. At midnight the total Vote that had been heard from gave Stevens 5,606 and Rogers 2,071. In the First district Congressman ‘Tawney was unopposed. McCleary is renominated in the See- ond district by a good majority over Gilbert Gutterson. Four candidates were in the field in the Fifth district for the Republican nomination, W. D. Washburn, Jr., W. H. Eustis, Albert H. Hall and Frank M. Nye. The latest returns show Nye in the lead and the probabiliy is that the nomination is his. Buckman ind Lindberg both claim the victory in the Sixth district. The latest returns show Buckman in the lead, with the chances in favor of his winning the nomination. In the Seventh district Congressman Volstead had no opposition. Congressman Bede has carried Du- luth and St. Louis county. The re- turns from the other counties are in- complete, but show that Bede is lead- ing over his opponent, E. L, Millar. The opposition practically concedes the Eighth district nomination to Bede. The fight in this district was one ot the hottest in the state. Congre Sieenerson had no op- position in the Ninth district. Congressman Davis was unopposed in the Third district. yor Jones was defeated for re- The G. Williams. latter’s plurality about 3,000. Bitter Clash in New York. New York, Sept. 19—In a_ bitter clash of opposing factions in yes- terday’s primary elections in New York county, Congressmar Herbert Parsons, president of the New York county committee, won a sweeping vic- tory for the control of the Republican organization, while Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall, retained his position at the head of the organi- zation by a narrow margin. The Parsons vietcry in the Repub- lican party was a simple rout for the faction led by State Chairman B. B. Odell, Jr., and Lemuel E. Quigg. Backed by Roosevelt, Mr. Parsons had tke backing of President Roosevelt and Gov. Higgins. He telephoned the president at Oys- ter Bay, telling him of the victory, and received Mr. Roosevelt's warmest con- gratulations. “This means,” said Mr. Parsons last night, “that Mr. Odell will nct succeed himself as state chairman.” Murphy Has Close Call. In the Democratic battle Leader Murphy had the fight of his life. The friends of Mayor McClellan had band- ed together to wrest the control of ‘Tammany from Murphy and were very nearly successful in daing so, The success of Mr. Parsons means that the Republican state convention to be held at Saratoga Sept. 25 will be controlled by the friends of Gov. Hig- gins. Whether or not Gov. Higgins will be a candidate for renomination has not been announced. Friendly to Hearst. ‘The effect of Leader Murphy’s slight margin of victory at ‘the Democratic zrimaries is somewhat problematical. Mr. Murphy has been regarded of late as friendly to the nomiaation of Hearst for governor. If he can control the Tammany conveition he may ob- tain a unit rule and throw all the 105 Tammany votes to Mr. Hearst in the Buffalo convention next Tuesday. Mayor McC!ellan, who has been fight- ing Murphy for the Tammany control, has been outspoken as an advocate of the nomination of District Attorney William Travers Jerome for governor by the Democrats. Man Killed at Williston. Minot, N. D., Sept. 19.—Fred John: son, a car foreman, was Killed at Wil- liston yesterday afternoon while at- tempting to raise an engine which went into the ditch. He became entan- gled in the wrecking machinery and was killed almost instantly, y Brakeman Is Killed. Harvey, N. D., Sept. 19.—George Leonard, empioyed by the railroad as a switchman, was fatally injured yes- terday morning and died a few hours afterward. THREE ROADS CUT COAL RATE MEANS A SAVING OF $500,000 TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE. St. Paul, Sept. 19.—The three North- ern roads, the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and the Soo, have made a voluntary reduction in coal rates, which members of the state railroad and warehouse commission es- timate will save the. people of the state at least $500,000. The roads op- erating in the southern part of the state have not yet been heard from, but it is expected that, they will be forced to follow the lead of the North- ern roads and meet the reduction, as they did on grain rates, which the Northern roads reduced recently. The Great Northern on Saturday filed its reduced schedule with the in- terstate railroad commission, and has notified the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission informally that it will reduce the rate.

A little later they and everybody else several explosions. ‘Soon-a score of men who had hasti- ly dressed stumbled along toward the main street. A few women followed timidly and at a distance. There, in front of the First State bank, was a bunch of horses that pranced about nervously. The front of the building appeared to be wreck- éd. Several men came out. There was no chance for the citi- zens, who were unarmed, to make a demonstration against the raiders. One of the latter stepped out and yell- ed for everybody to be quiet and to re- turn to their beds if they didn’t want to get hurt. Held Citizens at Bay. Down the street another noise at- tracted the citizens and they moved cautiously in that direction. It was immediately realized that the Secur- Sty State bank was also to be looted— or had been. There were several strangers iu front of that building; others were going in and coming out, each time fastening bags of some kind to the saddles of the horses. It was difficult for the citizens to act concertedly. One man suggested that they slip away to their homes for Several men started out with this end in view. Several were halted by the raiders and ‘compelled at the points of guns and pistols to remain where Finishing their work at the banks the raiders, still in complete posses- braved possible dangers by Getting together again, at a whistle town.

Peavey THE FARMER PAYS THE BILLS COST OF HAULING GRAIN COMES OUT OF HIS PROFITS. SAYS HEFFELFINGER. Chicago, Sept. 19.—“The farmer is the man who pays the bills,” is the way that Frank T. Heffelfinger, a mem & Co., put the proposition of elevation in charges in the hearing before the! interstate commerce commission in Chicago yesterday. Mr. Heffelfinger was called as the first witness in the case brought by the Chicago Great Western road against the Union Pacific, alleging that the railroad is paying rebates tc the Peavey Elevator company in the form of allowances for elevation at the Missouri river on grain shipped by the Peavey company. Mr. Heffelfinger was asked about the apportionment of expenses, and de clared that it was in the last instance footed by the farmer who sold the grain, One of the chief allegations in the ease is that the railroad company granted rebates to the Peavey Eleva tor company and gaye it a monopoly of the grain business along the rail road. 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL SAVES TWO. Log Rolling Fatal to One—Playmate Rescues Two Others. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 19—Ernest Ol sen, weed eleven years, was drowned in the bay yesterday, and two other boys saved from a_ like fate only through the heroic action of another lad of eleven. The boys rescued were Arthur Olsen and Ernest Larson, and the boy who pulled them out was Wil lie Loney. The boys were log rolling, which was a favorite pastime with the boys of the neighborhood, the danger at tending the sport lending zest to their enjoyment of it. Many of the young sters can swim, but some of them can not. When the boys gathered yester day some one proposed that they try a ducking match. The two Olsen boys and Ernest Lar sen were on the log together when it suddenly turned and they were pre cipitated into the water. Willie Loney at once plunged into the water in an attempt to rescue the drowning boys He got Arthur Olsen and Ernest Lar son out after a great struggle and ther plunged in to pull out Ernest Olsen He was too late, however, reaching the boy just as he disappeared for the last time. Men in the neighborhood attracted by the cries of the boys came to the scene and began a search for the Olsen boy’s body. He was pull ed out within ten minutes after he had disappeared benea‘*h the water, but in spite off ;he effort: of physicians, whc quickly were summoned, it was im possible to resuscitate him. GREAT LOSS BY FLOOD. One Million Dollars Is Estimated for Saturday—One Life Lost. Sioux City, Iowa, Sept. 19.—Lates re ports show that twenty-five miles oi} railroad track was washed out within a radius of fifty miles of Sioux City, and ‘thousands of acres of grain and corn destroyed and many buildings damaged by the furious storms of Sat urday night and Sunday. At Pender Neb., Willie Warren, aged eight, was drowned while his father and mother Mr and Mrs. Charles Warren, who came there from Kansas in a covered wagon two weeks ago, were trying tc hitch up their team and escape. The total damage is figured at approxi mately $1,000,000. TURNED BACK BY A BOLT. Man Partly Paralyzed by Lightning Will Live. Sauk Rapids, Minn., Sept. 19.—John Svedlins was engaged in piling lumber in the yard of the J. Neil Lumber company when a severe electric storm broke. Svedlins was struck by a bolt of lightning and was thrown from the pile of jumber on which he was work ing. He was picked up alive and was carried home. An examination show- ed that one side of his face, arm and body had been turned entirely black by the lightning. He is completely paralyzed on that side, but physicians say that he will live and probably soon recoved the use of his limbs. General Store Is Burned. Raymond, Minn., Sept. 19.—Fire de. stroyed K.

N MINNESOTA. State News of the Week Briefly Told. J. W. Buckland, a pioneer of Olm- sted county, and a prominent farmer, died at his home, aged eighty years. Mistaking strychnine pills for candy, Eddie Maki, five years old, of Aurora, ate a quantity of them with the result that he now is dead. Flies, according to Health Officer D. C.

He was found on the floor ‘of the annex of the store in a pool of blood and unconscious. Appearances are that he fell against the point of a plowshire, there being an ugly cut in his head. Apparently there is an organized gang of barn burners operating in the vicinity of Lake City. Several valua- ble structures: have been set on fire destroyed in the past week, and an effort is being made to catch the mis- \creants. The large barn on the farm ‘of Mrs, Wise, west of Lake City, was ‘burned. All the season’s cut of hay and the grain raised on the place was destroyed, causing a loss of more than $3,000. The ditch work of Freeborn county is becoming of large proportions, and several systems are in course of con- struction, two of them costing $30,000 each. The immense drain that is to affect 15,000 acres of land in the east- ern part of the county has not yet been begun. The surveys have been ‘made and the work of the viewers is in progress, but some ‘of the farmers are opposing the movement, and in all probability there will be more or less litigation over the enterprise. The im- provement will cost in the neighbor- hood of $200,000, but there is a de- mand that the work be done and the general opinion is that it will be car- ried through, although there may be some delays. Robert Harvey, twenty-five years old, a farm hand, is in jail at Roches- ter, charged with assault with intent to kill, and upon the outcome of the injuries of Walter Dunn, a prosperous farmer of Wabasha county, depends the possibility of the charge being changed to one of murder. Dunn is in h precarious condition, his skull being fractured. Dunn was assisting with ‘threshing operations on the Bently Sarm, where Harvey was employed. Harvey formerly had worked for him, pnd there is said to have been a dis- pute about wages which Harvey claimed due him. He fought with Ceorge Dunn, a son of his former em- ployer, and when the elder Dunn re- monstrated Harvey is said to have btruck him over the head with a pump handle. , A barn belonging to Ed Moran was ea at Red Lake Falls, and three orses cremated.

Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: “I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur be- fore me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since.” ~ Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Scrap of Ancient History.

Decent Amusement Is Provided for the Workingmen. ~ Aside from its working hours,Russia rises superior to her neighbors in pro- viding decent amusement for the im- smense laboring class whose meager ‘earnings forbid them the amusements of the prosperous, says the Craftsman. ‘Nearly every Russian city has a min- iature Coney Island supported by the state or municipalities, the prevailing admission fees being from half a cent upward. St. Petersburg has the finest ‘and cheapest popular theater in Eu- rope. Where racial and _ religious considerations are not involved, the Russian laws are superior to those of many European countries. For ordi- ‘nary murders, capital punishment is never inflicted, while the illegitimacy statute, amended three years ago, is the most liberal on earth, completely annulling the social stigma and other obstacles which usually attend this misfortune, which in the case of chil- dren is nothing more. Unfortunate is ‘the word invariably employed to de scribe criminals and convicts. A SAILOR ON SEA PICTURES, A Few Criticisms on Alleged Marine Paintings. “Tl take a sailor along with me the next time I buy a sea painting,” said a millionaire. “I bought two marines last month, and yesterday my old friend, Capt. Salthorse, had a look at them, “Salthorse said: “In this picture we’ve got a trad- ing schooner in charge of a tug tow- ing away from a rock-bound coast through a fearful jumble of sea. The schooner’s main topmast is gone, and all sails are lowered except her stay- sail, which is being hoisted, though she is towing hard on the gale. Why that hoisted staysail? All hands, £ suppose, are drunk. “In the second picture,’ continued Capt. Salthorse, ‘the principal boat, an 18-footer, is racing, yet has no flag fly- ing. That’s as incorrect as it would be for you to go to a dinner party minus a shirt. The crew of this boat are getting in the spinnaker, and, if they lower away, both spinnaker and boom will be in the water, for they have neglected to let the boom go for- ward. But I know what the trouble is with them. They, too, are drunk.’” WELL PEOPLE TOO Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Con- valescents. A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted pa- tient, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourish- ment. “Five years ago,” writes a doctor, “I commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee. I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing its sale. “I then commenced to recommend it to my patients in place of coffee, as a nutritious beverage. The conse- quence is, every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a housg- hold necessity in many homes. “Tm sure I prescribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Ma- teria Medica—in almost every case of indigestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results. “When I once introduce it into a family, it is quite sure to remain.
