Gillette will probably tot the republican house nominees, as thetaste third candidate. Charles Stone, has not . developed much strength. Five demo crats want the two nominations from that party. They are Francis N. Stacy and Harris P. Stone of the second ward, John H. McGulre, H. A. Sauer and C. A. Bartsch of the ninth. The fortieth district, comprising the fourth ward, has a three-cornered fight for senator on the republican side, the , candidates being W. P. Roberts. J. F.other Calhoun and Sherman S. Smith. The re sult is in doubt. F. G. Winston will be the democratic nominee, but there are no democrats running for the house. The two house nominations are contended for by four republicans. Charles E. Bond, C. B. Shove, Max D. Robb and J. D.ty Shearer. Senator George P. WMson is a candi date for renomlnation In the forty-first district, comprising the fifth and sixth wards. He is opposed by W. D. Wash burn, Jr., a member of the last house, and the contest Is a warm one. There are four house nominations to be made, and ten candidates are in the field, seven from the fifth and three from the sixth. Two of the sixth ward candidates, Adolph E. L. Johnson and Iver C. Nelson, have been indorsed by both wards, but J. W. Stokes is also running. The fifth ward field includes Arthur W. Selover. E. C. Garrlgues, J. M. Hazen, Arthur L. Hel liweil, W. H. Bardwell, H. E. Fryberger and L. C. Stevenson. The last named is the only old member. C. A. Quist will be the democratic nominee for senator, and there are live democratic candidates for the four house nominations, Alonzo .Phillips, C. A. WUlen, George E. Ricker, Henry J. Lonugren and E. O. Berg. Gustav Theden and Henry J. Gjertsen - have a fierce contest for the republican nomination in the forty-second district, while B. F. Ward Is conceded third place. S. A. Stockv.-ell will 1K the democratic opponent, having t opposition for re nomination. Tht- republicans have an other free for :iil for (he two house nom- . {nations, the [ ink ipants being Milton W. Ramsey. G. J. Guddal, W. I. Nolan, Manley Fosseen. John A. Nordln, Wm. E. Morton and Andrew Tharalson of Ex celsior. George E. Nori, P. J. Pryts and ' Hugh P. Darcey of Medina want the dem ocratic nominations. The district in cludes the seventh, eleventh and twelfth wards, and the towns of Edina, Rich field. Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Ex celsior. In the forty-third there is a good fight for the republican nomination between Senator E. E. Smith and Carl L. Wal lace, a leading member of the last house, with the chances in favor of Wallace. The two house nominations are contested by Lawrence H. Johnson, a member of the last house. George P. Flannery, Walter G. Marson and J. A. Shepard of Long Lake. There are no democratic candidates for this district is a hopeless proposition for them. It includes the eighth and thirteenth wards and the towns of Cor coran, Greenwood, Medina. Independence, Minnetonka, Plymouth. Minnetrista, Ma ple Grove. Orono. and the villages of Gold en Valley. St. Louis Park. West Minne apolis, Minnetonka Beach and Wayzata. In the forty-fourth district Senator Lowell E. Jepson has a walk-over for re nomination, his only opponent being Frank S. Lane, of the last house. George W. Armstrong is conceded renomlnation to the house, and the other place is fought for by three country randidates, Alex . McNeil of Dayton, Thomas H. Girling of Robblnsdale, and P. W. Reidhead of Lake Crystal. The chances are thought to favor McNeil. The democrats have fixed up a ticket with John C- Gubbins for senator and L. I. Nasett and R. B. Hazard for the house. The district takes in part of the third and tenth wards, the villages of Crystal, Robbinsdale and Osseo, and the towns of Crystal Lake, Brooklyn, Ghatnp Jin, Dayton and Hassan. The County Situation. A long list of positions on the county ticket is to be filled to-morrOw. The principal contests are for the sheriff and county attorney nominations. For sheriff the democrats are divided between two old warhorses, Ed J. Conroy and Mart Whitcomb. The republicans have to - choose between Sheriff J. W. Dreger, A. W. Harwood, John P. Wall, J. W. Phil- ' lips and Gordon T. Bright. Former Sher iff Phil Megaarden is making a campaign but no stir. County Attorney Boardman is greatly " handicapped in his campaign by his of ficial duties and is finding that James A. Kellogg and J. T. Hutchinson are no mean adversaries. On the democratic side there are also three candidates. Louis R. Thian, A. B. Choate and R. R. Odell. Register of Deeds George C. Merrill and Judge of Probate F. C. Harvey are op posed respectively by I. O. Rise and G. A. Petri, but the old politicians do not regard the appearance of the latter two as very serious. As there is no opposition, Hugh R. Scott .will be renominated as county auditor David C. Bell, as county treasurer George C. Cooley, as county surveyor D. C.Gulre Mackenzie, as superintendent of schools. Coroner U. G. Williams will, however, have to dispose of Dr. A. J. Golden. The democrats will name the following: For register of deeds. William C. Corbett for auditor. W. H. Williams for treasurer, E. P. Capen for coroner, Samuel Musgrave. The democrats have no candidates for surveyor or school superintendent. County Commissioner Michael W. Nash says that County Commisisoner E. P.Ryan. Sweei and John B. Ryberg will be re nominated. Possibly he is right, but if so it is because the field against either is so lorge. The opposition to Ryberg is divided between John B. Johnson, J. P. Blichfeldt. Edward Miller. Arne O. Field and Luke Carroll and the big field is dis tinctly in favor of Ryberg. Similar con ditions prevail in thp fourth commissioner district where Mr. Sweet has as opponents C. C. Johnson. G. W. Confer and John Meagher. In the second district the democrats will take their choice between Matt Walsh and Olaf Gyllstrom rjrd in the fourth district between Peter Wein gart and Edward Shumpik. City Tickets Mixed. Any one who can pick a winner in either the republican or democratic fields for mayor can go down to the cigar store on the corner and make some money by backing his "hunch." Fred M. Powers, Dr. Henry S. Nelson and William L. Luce have been conducting the most vigorous kind of campaigns, speaking at every conceivable opportunity from noon until midnight. Each has a lusty host of shouters In his following who predict freely for their favorites. It's a good fight from a spectator's standpoint. - On the democratic side. It is conceded that James C. Haynes or Julius J. Hein- : rich will be the nominee, McHenry being detailed to carry the target. For controller and treasurer, the two old watch dogs, Joshua Rogers and Charles S. Hulbert have no opposition for the nomination. Fred E. Wheaton is sure of the democratic nomination for controller, and Adam Hannah for treasur er, for neither has any opposition. Electing republicans to political posi tions In the first ward is such a hopeless task that when Joseph Soika announced himself as candidate for alderman, the other republicans said "amen," for none I General Debility , .

Tho democrats 'will usually supply the he giving Alderman Foell his first real of a political campaign. Across Central avenue conditions are reversed. The second ward democrats have two candidates, who will never be heard of, while the republicans are warm ing considerably over the race between Alderman E. C. Chatfield. J. B. Eustls and George W. Wagner. The appearance of Acting Mayor Jones in behalf of Alderman Chatfield is believed to have strengthened him very materially, but friends of the two are insistent that they wtjl show to-morrow that they are still in the game. As usual, the third ward can be counted on to furnish a good scrap. Among the republicans the withdrawal of Hugh Wil son has helped Dr. W. F. Nye, but Swan Swanson is digging as hard as he ever did in the well business and M. W. Sinades is satisfied that his long service. In behalf of the party will be rewarded. It is taken for granted that whoever wins will have to "buck" Joseph L. KUchll, but the friends of Anthony T. Grotte and Fred W. Pratt are moving things rather lively and are quite sure that the whole demo cratic vote is not all for "Joe." In the fourth ward Alderman A. E. Mer rill is opposed by Charles P. Lovell and, acocrding to reports, it is a hard if not a close fight. Acting Mayor D. P. Jones is opposed by one republican and one democrat as alder man of the fifth, but his friends do not consider that he will be called upon to spend any money or do any work either for the nomination or the election. According to the sixth ward prophets, Alderman Lars M. Rand will have a fight cKainst John F. Dahl, if he defeats Peter Gunderson to-morrow. There are those who say that the wily Lars induced Mr. Gunderson to enter the field in order to nlacate the anti-Rand democrats, but it is not believed that Rand would be guilty of such practices. Mr. Dahl, who seeks the lepublican nomination, has a rival in Henr y T. Kersten. Both have been resi dents of the ward since childhood, and are well known there. Alderman J. Frank Main con6edes that he ha- ba.0. a very hard tussel with Au gust C. Vaughn. Who is opposing the for mer" s renomlnation from the seventh war, ln:t savs that he has promises enough to insi-re his election. As the ward is re.iably republican, very little, interest is talven in the two candidates for the demo cratic nominationJ. C. Huseby and Louis Engwall. Four eighth ward republicans are con testing or AJderman McHugh's seat in the council, the quartet being E. W. Clark, Erick Westling, John H. Rabb and C. S. Ingham. Friends of Mr. Clark say that he will have as many votes as the ather three together, but the trio naturally dispute such assertions. There is no evidence r any democrat in the race. Ninth ward republicans will make a des perate effort to put a republican in the council in place of Peter McCoy. This ward, which is supposed to be safely re publican, is represented in the council by two democrats, and the whole party Ioooks to the ward to redeem itself. It is be lieved that either Elmer W. Gray of Jo seph F. Conroy can take care of Alderman McCoy, who has no opposition for the nomination. One of the very best' of the aldermanlc fights is that in the tenth between Daniel F. Getchell and Adolph W. Benson. Each professes to be absolutely sure of the plnoe. James H. Duryea has John A. Rickett as competitor for the democratic nomination. Another sharp contest Is that in the eleventh ward, where Alderman Claus C. Peterson is being opposed by Swan Nel son. Jack Horton is conducting a still hunt. G. H. Westphal is the only seeker for democratic honors. There is no fight in the twelfth ward on either side. It is simply chaos and con fusion. With eight republicans and five democrats scrambling for votes, no one pretends to say how the "cane rush" will end. In the thirteenth ward John H. Van Nest is crowding Alderman O. P. Suther land hard. There is no democratic candi date. v fo'^'fr^gMBOTg'lilpfsi rtyt^wfan*^^.^ . 'l Board Candidates. Candidates for board positions spend no money and do not stir matters up as do candidates for positions paying salaries and hence there is very little talk on the many candidates. There are three places to be filled on the school board, and the retiring members John A. Schlener, Will iam K. Riks and J. F. Force are candi dates for re-nomination by the republican party. Among other well known as pirants are A. H. Bright, Charles J. Bint liff, M. H. Towner. The democrats ballot shows the names of A. S. Dowdall, Frank B. Long, John Halvorson and George C. Barton. Samuel C. Gale and Jacob F. Stone are candidates for the park board on the re publican ticket and are expected .to re ceive the nomination as there are two places to be filled. The democrats have in the field Jacob Smeltzer, T. M. Mc and E. A. Stevens. Two of the four retiring members of the park board want to return by way or the republican nomination. These are Fred L. Smith and J. C. Young. As can didates for the other two places are Cyrus W. Wells, P. D. Boutell, Otto E. Naegele, J. E. Northrup, E. Kayser, John G. Robb and others. The demo crats also have a long list, but not quite so long, including the redoutable' Patrick PRIMARY LAW IN ACTION. Candidates to Be Nominated In All Coun ties Under New Law. For the first time in the history of Min nesota candidate will be nominated in every one of the counties by popular vote. It is the first trial of the Dunn primary election law, and to-morrow's result will determine whether the system will be con tinued. If the voters turn out generally, and the machinery works smoothly, it will be voted a success. Nominations will be made to-morrow by all of the"" parties for congress, district judgeships, senators and representatives in the legislature, and county officers. In addition, the city of Minneapolis will nom inate republican and democratic city tick ets. The law is uniform for the entire state. The polls will be open at 6 a. m., and close at 9 p. m. Judges and clerks of election will be on duty during the entire time, the same set of officers serving as for the general election. The voter must first register, and the registration serves to place him on the poll books as a quali fied voter at the general election. After registering the voter must then ask for the ballot of his own party, the party whose candidates he generally sup ported at the last election, and with which he Intends to affiliate at the coming elec tion. If challenged, he must swear to his party affiliation. He is then given one ballot, that of his own party, and retires to the booth to mark it, as at a general election. In this matter of party affilia tion the law differs from the Hennepin county primary of 1900, when the voter was given both ballots and marked the one of his choice. The ballot are printed just as the gen eral election ballots, except, that each bal lot contains the candidates of one party,' who have paid their fee and filed their affidavits of candidacy. After the polls have closed, the Judges count the votes and certify the totals to the county auditor. Where more than one county voters for the same office, the county auditors report to the secretary of state. County and state canvassing boards count the returns, as at the general elec tion. The. candidates receiving the larg est number of votes, whether a majority or not, are the nominees of their party, and their names will go on the general election ballot. The defeated candidates cannot run independently, but are "all in" after the primaries. v - .^^'A(f , & - -Sl^i-j^lj^l^^sSt^ A VALUABLE RAXK.

Bishop Fallows Going to Settle It A Few More Washeries Start "Up To-day. Indianapolis, Sept. 15.In an interview over the long distance telephone with the News to-day at Wilkesbarre, John Mitch ell said: "I can't predict when the anthracite strike will be settled. If anything is be ing done toward it by the other side, I don't know of It." "Nothing toward a settlement was ac complished at the Harrisburg conference." said Mr. Mitchell when asked regarding it. "Nothing, in fact was contemplated. We simply met and discussed the causes and progress of the strike." "Did Governor Stone represent J. Pier pont Morgan or any of the anthracite presidents?" "I did not understand that he was rep resenting anyone besides himself." "Is a settlement any nearer because of the conference?" "No." "Did Governor Stone propose that the miners should return to work on a prom ise of concessions being made afterward by the operators?" "No proposition of that kind was sub mitted. There is no foundation for the report that the men are to return to work on the promise that the operators will make concessions and arbitrate after- ward." "Would the miners return to work, un der such an arrangement?" "They would not." Mr. Mitchell declared that the men are confident of winning. "There have been no desertions among the strikers," he said. "Are you as confident as ever of win- ning?" .. "I am certainly very hopeful now, that the strike will be ended in our favor." The big defense fund that is being col lected at the national headquarters in In dianapolis, Mr. Mitchell' said, is proving sufficient to relieve the distress m the re gion. About 25,000 miners have left the region since the strike began, leaving about 130,000 to be cared for. "Are the troops to be withdrawn from ie region?" 'Not that I know of. All the informa nt I have on the matter is what I get jm the papers. There is no need of the .ops, however, as the men are orderly. -v are keeping within the law." Is any coal being taken out of the i .ion?" A little is going out, but no new coal is being mined. Most of the coal now being shipped was mined before the strike began. No mines are being started and no members of the organization are returning to work." A Few More at Work. Tamaqua, Pa., Sept. 15.This morning the Greenwood colliery, situated at the western end of the Panther Creek valley resumed operations. It is impossible to learn how many men are at work, as the place is very heavily guarded and the operators, the Doddal Brothers, will give out no definite statement. They say, however, that they expect to wash about 300 tons of coal a day. To-day the Le high Coal and Navigation company claims gains in the Panther Creek, valley. An official of this company said that It was expected that the daily output from the No. 4 and No. 12 collieries would now be increased from 1.400 to. 1,600,tons a day. The leaders of the mine workers ridicule the claims of the company. Two Italians Clubbed. Wilkesbarre. Pa., Sept. 15.Two Ital ians, named John Devino and Antonio Dizzi employed at the Old Fort Forage furnace of the Pennsylvania at Old Forge, Pa., were held up by fifty Italian strikers as they were returning from work this morning. Both men were badly clubbed and stoned. Several shots werefiredandcaped a striker is reported to have been shot in the leg. Divino's injuries were so seri ous that he had to be removed to the Bittston, Pa., hospital. Dizzi was able to walk to his boarding-house. Sheriff Jacobs reports all quiet in the Wyoming region to-day. Contrary to re ports circulated last night, the coal com panies did not make any attempt to start any rdditlonal collieries. Bishop Fallows on Deck. Pittsburg, Sept. 15.Right Rev. Samuel Fallows of Chicago, who was reported to have left that city to meet President Mitchell of the mine workers at Pittsburg to-day, could not be found at any of the hotels, and as far as could be ascertained, had not arrived here at noon. A great deal of secrecy has been thrown around the proposed conference and various re ports are in circulation. Bishop Fallows Is wed known among miners and opera tors, and he is given the credit of settling a serious dispute in Illinois several years ago. PIOUS FUND CASE IS UP The International Court of Arbitra tion Gets Its First "Job" From the New World. The Hague, Sept. - 15.The hearing of the claim of the United States against Mexico, growing out of the Pious fund of California, commenced here to-day be fore the international court of arbitra tion. At the opening of the court the foreign minister, Dr. R. Melvill Baron Van Lyn don reviewed the history of the court which he said had been ready for business since January, 1901, but lacked litigants. He heartily congratulated the two over sea republics on taking the initiative and hoped the outcome and experience of the court would contribute powerfully to the maintenance of the peace of the world. Dr. Matsen, president of the court, thanked the minister for his friendly greetings and said he hoped the court would become the arbiter of international rights.. The president then opened the first session of the arbitration court, ex pressing the hope that the work of the tribunal would harmonize with the sub lime idea which led to its establishment. The American and Mexican represen tatives expressed their thanks for the welcome and said they had full con fidence in the impartiality and equity of the court. In declaring in advance their intention to abide by Its decision, the Mexican representatives hoped that both great and small powers would follow the lead of the two North American repub lics.

Thousands of strangers were on the streets and every few minutes the loud report of an anvil loaded with pow der broke the stillness.

SOIL IS fl iX SICK Bolley's Theory Acecpted by Many in N. D.Crop Is a Great Disappointment. Corn Crop Over a Vast Section Prac tioally Ruined by Frosts of Last Week. Specials to The Journal. Fargo, N. D., Cept. 15.The flax crop of North Dakota continues to be disap pointing. The arly sown flax Is not turn ing out more than a- half a crop and the late flax is little better. There Is a great difference of opinion as to the cause, some asserting that the dry weather in July hurt the early flax and the frosts hurt both, but the conviction is growing that Professor Bojley of the. ..North Dakota Agricultural college has struck the right theory when he says the damage is due to flax wilt, or flax sick soil. Sioux City, Iowa, .Sept. 15.Reports from over northwestern Iowa, southeast ern South Dakota and northeastern Ne braska indicate that sweeping destruction followed the killing fropt of last Saturday morning. It is variously estimated that the late corn in this section has been from a third to a half killed. Some of this may be used for feed, but a great deal will be worthless. Milbank, S.

Frosts have been erratic, and local in character. Some places have escaped, while others have been seriously frozen. Madelia, Minn., Sept. 15.Farmers are mourning the loss of their corn crop by frost. At first it was thought the frost had only hurt the leaves and that it would hot injure the corn but rather serve to hasten its maturing, but upon closer in vestigation it is found that the most' of the corn is so badly frosted that it will be practically worthless. _ This is a heavy loss to the farmers of this part of the state, as corn is one of the most Import ant crops. Grafton, N. D., Sept. 15.The story of the half bushel continues to be music in the farmers' ears. The yields are rang ing from 18 to 36 bushels of wheat, 25 to 40 of barley, 30 to 75 of oats and as high as 2 for flax. Arne Torblaa reports an average of 30 bushels to the acre for his wheat. One piece of 100 acres yielded 34 bushels to the acre and the sample was pronounced the finest yet received in West Superior. N. O. Noten's wheat yielded 25 bushels to the acre. J.

' CUPID FOR CONGRESS The Prince Is Now Giving Delegate Wilcox the Sprint of His Life. Veto Xbrjb Sun Special Servic* Honolulu, Sept. 15With Prince Cupid as a leader, the republicans hope to carry the fall elections in Hawaii. The demo crats have fused with the home rulers, and hope to re-elect Wilcox to congress and later take the entire home rule party Into their camp. Both Cupid and Wiloox have been touring the islands and ad dressing the natives on political questions. Delegate Wilcox is said to have met with a frost in a number of places where two years ago he was received almost as an idol and a savior of his people. In the Kopale district where he attempted to address the natives he was stoned, ac cording to one report and in nearly every town he has been-asked to explain nis actions in congress during the past two years. Prince Cupid, who led a revolt from the home rule party at their con vention a few months ago and organized the "hill Kukoa party," has confined him self to telling why he left the home rule party and calling upon his former sub jects to forget race prejudice and work for the good of their country. Everywhere he addressed big audiences. He is making his campaign of education with the ap proval of his aunt, ex-Queen Lilluokalanl. Two days before the republican conven tion he refused to accept a nomination. Considerable pressure was brought to bear and he then agreed to run independently with a republican indorsement butflnaTjJy|"ideas which have possessed them of late refused to run on a republican platform. He was finally convinced that it was hii duty that be owed his people to represent them in Washington, and he agreed to ac cept the nomination.

A platform said to embrace the economical and political ideas of labor leaders and covering the whole labor situation, has been prepared and will be presented for approval next weeek to the Chicago federation of la bor. The platform demands the abolition of the so-called present machine, the estab lishment of government primaries where votes may be cast "for nominees as citi zens and not as - members of a ma-, chine" and the initiative and referendum. It favors the right of recalling repreJ sentatlves who are out of touch with voters. Relief from the trusts is suggested in the plan for "the passage of an amend ment to the practice laws of every state and of the federal government in which litigants may bring up. in any suit in which a corporation is the plaintiff or de fendant, the question of its right to its franchise, whether it has usurped power not given it under statute and whether it has forfeited its,powers." This method, it is urged, would be pro ductive of more good than the institution of suits by federal district attorneys. Vigilance committees in ei-ery state and large city are favored to see that the laws are impartially administered. The eight hour day, sanitary conditions, living wages, the repeal of the laws limiting the liabilities in personal injury suits, the supplying of free text books to all chil dren in the lower grades of public schools and th eabolition of convict labor in com petition with free men are demanded. Limitation on the injunction powers of judges is asked and th popular election of federal judges and senators is suggested. In all civil trials majority verdicts are desired. The plan favors the government instead of banks issuing all kinds of money, and it is suggested that private individuals be driven from banking busi ness. Laws are demanded restricting the issue of capital stock, bonds and securities ta any greater extent than the actual property owned by corporations. Public ownership of public utilities is desired, and state insurance and provisions for old age ar eapproved. Child labor is decried and educational aids and trade unionism to keep up wages are approved. In clos ing the platform reads: In order to bring about a state of harmony in stead of constant discord the working man must look for relief at the ballot-box. - Here where the will of the people is supreme, the remedy lie* at hand and must be taken advantage of. working men must undertake to govern, as well tiR'tdll and" in that way they will get Justice.

Only a few union men have returned to work on the St. Croix boom and the crew to-day numbers only a few over seventy. More would have gone to work had tha permission given by the river men's union been better understood, and it is believe! the crew will be augmented from day t day. The union grants the concessioa solely on account of loggers and mill men, who will be heavy losers If their logs da not come down this year, and the action is in no sense a victory for the boom cor poration. The Lizzie Gardner cleared yesterday afternoon with a raft of lumber for Quincy and Hannibal. Being short of men It left the raft at Prescott and returned here to day for help.

I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were great coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, are far more healthy than they were before."
