The state convention of Prohibitionists was called to order at noon yesterday in Market hall by Charles E. Holt of Minneap olis, chairman of the state central commit tee.- About 100 people were present, in cluding a small sprinkling of ladies. Dr. Chauncey Holbert of lied Wing offered prayer.

During the recess the delegates, ten in number, from the counties composing the Seventh judicial district, met and organized by choosing Nathaniel Pullman of Grant count? chairman and D. Burbank of Otter Tail secretary. The meeting then con curred with resolution^, previously adopted by the bar of the district, and also the bar o£ Otter Tail county, requesting Judge L. L. Baxter of Fergus Falls to become a can didate for re-election, pledging him the support of the Prohibition party, and ask ing him to be the party's candidate. A judicial district committee was also ap pointed. AFTEK A HEARTS LAUGH. The convention was called to order again at 2 o'clock with a considerably larger at tendance, and a resolution of thanks to the ladies of the W. C. T. U. for the sump tuous repast furnished the delegates was adopted with a good deal of enthusiasm. The committee on , credentials not being ready to report. Chairman Lathrop made a short speech on the work of the conven tion, which, he said, was for the benefit of humanity and such as every good citizen could engage in with his whole heart. Since the set back of twenty years, which the party had got two years ago, he had had been praying for another one of the same kind, lie would not mind if the party received a set back of forty years in the same direction. Perhaps then some Minnesota men might have an opportunity to get to the White house. lie spoke of tne Jersey doctrine that a man who abets the selling of liquor was equally guilty with the bartender. He thought that all advocates of license, high or low, were partakers in the profits of the trade and participants in the moral offense. Mr. Wells stated that the committee on credentials were ready to report and read the list from the platform, embracing dele gations from thirty-nine counties, as fol lows: J<iee, Chippewa, Renville, Steele, Otter Tail, McLeod, Carver, Murray, Fillmore, Clay, Yellow Medicine. Le Sueur, Olmsted, Goodhue, Blue Earth, Winona. Anoka, Grant, Ramsey, Podge, Washington, Nobles. Meeker, Dakota,- Uedwood, Cottonwood, Hock, Pope, W:i:j;tßba, Stevens, Douglas, Mower, Wright, j Waseoa, : Wadena, Kaudiydhi, Hennepin, j Btc rus and Kauabec. Forty counties were unrepresented. The convention was entitled to 491 delegates and only 221 were present, but the delega tions from each county were authorized to ca-i the full vote to which their counties : v lire entitled. he committee on permanent organiza tiu.i reported the following gentlemen for ; officers: President, J. E. Childs, Waseca; vice-presi dents, C. A. Bierce, Winona; George J. Day," Nobles; Rev. C. Hobart, Goodhue; secretary, Hiram W alien, Hennepin. The report was adopted and Mr. Childs called for, but as he was still busy in the committee Mr. Bierce, the first vice-presi dent, took the chair, and llev. C. Hobart, by request, filled in the time with a tem perance speech. While he was talking Mr. Childs was escorted to the platform amid loud applause and took the chair, with a few remarks on the general question of prohibition. A motion for the appointment of a committee on nominations was made but an amendment that the convention immediately proceed to an informal ballot for a nominee for gov ernor was carried. A ballot was about to , be taken when the following report of the ' committee on resolutions was submitted by Mr. Pinkham, chairman of the committee, and unanimously adopted: -;. PBOHIBITOBY ISE SOLUTIONS. We. the Prohibitionists of the state of Min nesota, do hereby declare that in all our work " we do reverently recognize the supreme au thority of Almighty God. Whereas, The prohibition of the traffic i alcoholic liquors as a beverage has natural! 11 become the greatest issue in American po^ iiics. on the success of which all other politi en! reforms depend, and Whereas, The citizens cannot rise above the political party whose men and principles he stains with his ballot; and Whereas, The Republican und Democratic parties are thoroughly committed to the reg ulation policy as opposed to protection, and do thereby fix the standard of all adherents on this question, therefore Resolved, ThaLcyery consideration of duty and expediency which does and ought to con trol the action of American I'reeuian requires of the loyal citizen of this state the maiutain ance of the district political -party, embracing all the necessary means for nominating can dates for office and sustaining them by public suffrage. We believe with the Declaration of Inde pendence that the Creator has given to all men equal and inalienable rights and has or doined civil government for their protection. Whereas, The liquor traffic is justly charged with organized and rebellious opposition to existing statutes, with the merciless oppres sion of thousands of innocent women and children, with nefarious attempts to debauch the morals of our youth; •with the parentage of most of the crime and lawlessness, misery aud want pre vailing among us: with conspiracy to corrupt politics and legislation, and with the coutri bation of sympathy and aid to rioters, com munists and anarchists, thus jeopardizing the permanency of our republican form of government, which exists solely in its excel lencies upon the moral and intellectual char acter of the individual voter. Therefore, we call upon all good citizens to renounce the allegiance to tb« party allies of thai traffic and unite with us for the extirpa tion of this odious cause of crime, disorder, social disintegration and abounding misery. To aid, abet, or in any other way assist the , drink traffic, either by granting license, sign ing- saloon bonds, leasing property for saloon purposes, or voting for men for office who favor license, is to become accessory to the continuency of the liquor business. 2. Prohibition, to be completely effectual, must be national in scope and must be backed by a party unconditionally; committed to its enforcement. 3. In a government of the people the right of suffrage should not depend upon sex, but should be granted alike to all who are other wise qualified for it. •i. We heartily indorse the Women's Chris tian Temperance unions of the state and na tion, and pledge them our undivided support In their efforts to secure a law-making scien tific temperance instruction obligatory in Minnesota. Wo believe that capital should be properly protected and raged. We believe that the laborer should be free and independent us a man; that he should be protected In all his rights, moral, religious, civil auu political. That the' suppression of the liquor traffic ■which absorbs a large part of the earnings of industry without rendering any property equivalent will go far toward solving the labor difficulties In this country. That all public and quasi public corpora tions should be subject to control by state and national laws, which prohibit all dis criminations between individuals an locali ties, and all extortionate charges by such corporations, and that we fully sympathize witii the Farmer's Alliance in its efforts to protect the producing interests of tho country. CHILDS FOB GOVEKNOK. There was considerable contention over the method of voting but it was finally settled that the vote should be taken by counties, the chairman of each delegation announcing the vote of his county vote when called. The ballot resulted as fol lows: J. C. Pinkham, Hennepin 110 J. E. Childs, Waseca 100 C. E. Holt, Henuepin 22 P. J. Kuiss. Uoek 21 L. W. Denton, Hennepin J3 I W, W. Saterlee, Hennepin 5 I Dr. Whetstone, Hennepin 2 After the vote was announced Mr. Will iams of Minneapolis moved the nomination of J. E. Chiids for governor and J. P. Pinkham for lieutenant governor. This was carried with great applause despite the protestations of Mr. Childs that he did not wish the nomination. At this point J. T. James was made assistant secretary. Other state officers were nominated by acclama tion, as follows: Secretary of state, C. A. Bierce, Winona; auditor, EL W. Allen, Hennepiu; treasurer, P. J. Kness, Eoek; attorney general, W. M. Hatch, Otter Tail. For clerk of the supreme court there was a contest between C. A. Fosnes of Chippe wa and Charles C. Christiansen of Murray, and the counties were called for a ballot, which resulted in Fosner receiving 177 votes and Christiansen 97, and the nomination of Mr. Fosner was made unanimous. At this point the ltev. W. H. Coffin offered the fol lowing resolution: Recognizing the Christian Sabbath as of priceless value for economic as well as for religious consideration, wo favor the enact ment aud enforcement of such laws as shall secure its benefits to all our citizens. After the reading of the resolution one gentlemen j umed to his feet and said that the adoption of the resolution would drive a thousand votes from the party, and a heavy voice responded, "Let them go." There was some confusion caused by a half a dozen men trying to get the floor at the same time, but \V. W. Satterlee of Min neapolis got the floor and stated that all were not agreed on which day of the week should be celebrated, that putting this res olution in the platform would cost the party many votes and gain nothing in any other way. The effect was that the reso lution was laid on the table by an almost unanimous vote. 'J. W. Cbehran of Minneapolis, C. E. Shannon of Duluth and Joseph McKnight of Leroy, Mower county, were nominated for justice of the supreme court. Some one had suggested the name of O. R. Ter rell of lledwood Falls for one of the jus tice when T. W. Kasker of Granite Forks said that no one who was a candidate on the Republican ticket was lit for a Prohibi tion caudidate. F. B. Olney offered a bill favoring a re vision of the present tariff on imports and a material reduction of the same, which speedily shared the fate of the Sunday question aud was laid on the table. At this point Dr. Leonard, recently Pro hibition caudidate for governor of Ohio, was announced to be in the room, and, as many of the delegates had to go home be fore evening, he was called for. Dr. Leon ard came forward amid the hearty applause of the audience, and spoke of the necessity of thorough organization by Prohibitionists. Every county, town and school district should be organized, and he detailed the methods of organization in Ohio. He told over the story of the Hamilton county election frauds of last year aud the subsequent outcome, charging both Kepub licans and Democrats, and reviewed the whole liquor war in hi* own state. He spoke rapidly and earnestly and was enthu siastically applauded. The convention then proceeded to the election of a state central committee, to consist of fifteen, two beiug chosen trom each congressional district and five at large. The following committee was chosen: At Large — J. T. James, George F. Getty, C. E. Holt, M. Ball and R. P. Lupton, all of Min neapolis. First district, W. Dennis, Steele; S. O. Stevens, Winona; Second district, T. P. Grout, Kock, and F. M. Uyer, Cottonwood; Third district, N. Lathrop, Rice, and C. T. Laugesou, McLeod; Fourth district, J. P. Fur bsr, Washington, and J. S. Lawson, Anoka; Fifth district, C. A. Couillard, Wadena, and J. \V. Earl, Otter Tail. Dr. Whetstone of Minneapolis offered a resolution declaring that it be the sense of the convention that no county have more votes iv a state convention than the "num ber of delegates reported present by the committee on credentials. His object was to get members to the convention. This excited a good deal of discussion and was finally laid en the table. On motion of Dr. Denton the state cen tral committee was authorized to establish a state lecture bureau for Minnesota, and the convention adjourned uutil 7:30, it being then G o'clock. THE EVENING SESSION. The convention assembled again at 7:30 o'clock to hear an explanation of the plans developed by the state central committee for providing for the financial necessities of the party. The chairman of the com mittee had, however, been called home during the interim by telegraph, and the report was not submitted. A resolution was adopted recoinmeding that the lleview of Minneapolis be adopted as the state organ of the party, and making the office of that publication the headquarters for distributing Prohibionist literature. It being nearly 8 o'clock, the time appointed for Dr. A. B. Leonard's lecture, Rev. James C. Pinkham of Minneapolis, nominee for lieutenant governor, occupied the meantime in making a prohibition speech, at the close of which the hall contained an audience of several hundred people. On the stage were seated the president, four vice presi dents, and secretary of the convention. Shortly after 8 o'clock Dr. Leonard as cended the rostrum aud was introduced by President Childs and spoke for nearly two hours, being frequently interrupted by ap plause: Dr. Leonard devoted some time to the general cvii of the liquor traffic, giving statistics of the mortality caused annually from strong drink, from 60,000 to 100,000 people. He spoke of the prevalence of the beer-drink , ing habit, which ho thought was lowering the intellectuality of the country, in drawing the attention of young men from books and checking their intellectual growth. He in sisted that the liquor traffic induced to bad morals; that the saloon was a moral pest house, in which everything that was bad flourished, and nothing that was good, affecting the private morals of the community. The speaker dwelt on political corruption, with the Payne investigation in Ohio as his test, and ventured the assertion that if all the seats of senators and representatives who got their election by the illegal use of money were vacated, there would not be a quorum left in either house. Dr. Leonard spoke of the fulling out of the natural friends, capital and labor, now waging a bitter fight. He believed that the liquor traffic lay at tho seat of the labor troubles of tho country, and the labor ques tion would never be settled until the liquor question was determined. Whisky now sold at $1.08 per gallon, of which 90 cents repre sented tax and 16 cents represented labor. He drew a very graphic picture of the mis sion of the saloonkeeper and said the only thing the saloon deserved was extermination. Tue government treated every liquor manu facturer and dealer as a dishone6t man, watched the process of distilling so that tho distiller could not get enough of his own goods to get drunk on until the government got its 90 cents a gallon, and requiring a tax from every dealer before he could sell a drop. They were treated as thieves, and the government knew very well who was in the business. He had found hard times everywhere, and there never would be good times as long as those 7,000,0(10 of people were living in hovels with nothing to wear. Now the laborer settles his saloon bill iirst on Saturday night, and the speaker drew a very touching picture o" the arrival of the first Saturday night after the arrival of the miUenium — prohibition — when with no saloon bill to settle, the laborer bought his wife a new dress and the children some new shoes, booming the calico and shoe market, booming the xrocery and meat busiuess, booming everything. It was not overpro duction that caused hard times, but UNDER CONSUMPTION and good times would never come with under consumption. Every one who voted to sus tain either of the two old political parties and lent his support to the bargain of the govern ment with the traffic was morally in the traffic himself. He would submit this argu ment to any twelve moral philosophers In the TEtiE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBK THURSDAY MOOTING, JULY 8, 188 a BkGES. country. One of the greatest college presi dents had said it was unanswerable A good many . years ago, when the Democratic maiden was young, . old King Alcohol went out and got his eye on her. He liked her and popped the question. She said yes and the devil solemnized the marriage and : there never had been an- application for divorce. The Republican party since the notorious sixteenth plank of 1872 had been openly, "committed to l'reo beer and an open Sunday, James G. Blame was a good Republican and ho wanted to divide the revenue from liquor among the states as a permanent met nod of reducing the state taxes, while John A. Logan wanted it divided according to the school population. Both parties were in favor of the saloon, hence there was a necessity for a third party. There was necessity for voting ; a decent ticket, and of having a decent ticket to vote. Dr. Leonard was glad to see so many preach ers in the party, and that one of them had been put in the second placo on the ticket. He did not know what a preacher was good for if he did not preach prohibition. Let the clergy bo true to their great and high calling and the not distant future would give them success. But they must not get out of pa tience, and if anybody threatened to boycott them, just tell them to try it on. ANOTHER BELLE BOID. Beautiful Belle Starr, the Horse- Tuicvinsr Outlaw. Fort Smith Correspondence Chicago Herald. For the past week the noted Belle Starr has been quite an attraction on the streets of this city. She came to answer two indict ments in the federal court, first, for being im plicated in the stealing of a line mare, the one ridden by the notorious John Middle ton when he was drowned in the Poteau river, twenty-live miles above this city, in May, ISSS; and second: on a charge of rob bery, in which it is claimed that Belle, dressed in male attire, led a party of three men, who robbed an old man named Fer rell and his three sons, some forty miles north of here, in the Choctaw Nation. Court having adjourned, Belle swung her Winchester to her saddle, buckled her revolver around her, and, mounting her horse, set out for her home on the Cana dian. Before leaving she purchased a fine pair of 45-calibre revolvers, latest pattern, with black rubber handles and short barrel, for which she paid 829. She showed them to your correspondent with the remark: "Next to a line horse I admire a fine pistol. Don't you think these are beau ties?" Belle attracts considerable attention wherever she goes, being a dashing horse woman and exceedingly graceful in the saddle. She dresses plainly, and wears a broad-brimmed white man's hat, surmounted by a wide black plush bank with feathers and ornaments, which is ' very becoming to her. She is of j medium size, well formed, a dark J brunette with bright and intelligent black eyes. She was born at Carthage, Mo., and was 82 years old last February. In 1803 | her father, being a Confederate, removed i with his family to Texas, where he con tinued to reside after the close of the war. After the surrender Quantrell's men came to the locality, and were at all times wel come guests at her father's home. When less than 15 years of age she fell in love with one of the dashing guerillas, whose name she said it was not necessary for her to give. Her father objected to her marriage and she ran away with her lover, being married on horseback in the presence of about twenty of her husband's companions. John Fisher, one of the most noted outlaws in the state of Texas, held her horse while the ceremony was being performed, her wedding attire being a black velvet riding habit. When at home her companions are her daughter. Pearl (whom she calls "Canadian Lily"), her horse and her two trusty re volvers, which she calls her "babies." The horse she rides she has owned for nearly five years, and no one ever feeds or handles him but herself, and it would be a risky business for anyone else to attempt to ride him. She says she has been offered 5300 for him time and again, but that §800 would not get him. He is a small sorrel horse, and when in good condition is a beautiful animal, but looked rather the worse for hard riding when here last week. Belle is a crack shot and handles her pistols with as much dex terity as any frontiersman. No man enters Younger's Bend without giving a thorough account of himself before he gets out.

"He died a horrible death." "How?" "lie was drowned." "You don't say so! I did not think that he would ever be drowned." "Why?" "Because he always shunned water." "Well, he was shunning water when he was drowned." "Then how was he drowned?" - "He fell into a tank of whisky at a distillery." "Ah, I see. He attempted to drink it instead of swimming out.

"He is a young Scotchman," Lela said, "and papa being one, too, they have a cer tain sympathy in common. We Know nothing of this Mr. Donald Maclane, but we admire him extravagantly, and— well, he is to be at my ball, so you will see him, Mollie; so will you, Janet," turning sud denly to the stranger. Then, a new thought seeming to strike her: ''You are Scotch yourself; Douglas is a purely Scotch name." Miss Donglas shrank a moment, but. a faint color stole over her white, perfect face as she tnrned her blue eyes on Lela and smiled a little. Half an hour later I was able to ask Lela who she was, without being overheard by the others, and Lela told me she had been one of the underteachers in the seminary from which she (Lela) had graduated. "I fell in love with her and coaxed her to come here for vacation." Lela said, show ing how the world wronged her when it called her a heartless flirt, "and as she was quite ill when the seminary opened m Sep tember we would not let her think of going back to her teaching. My papa has influ ence, Mollie, and he has used it to keep her position opeu for her until she is ready to go back to it, which she tells me she intends doing in a fortnight." "She is lovely," 1 said, impulsively; "she must be about 28, Lela. Has she a lover?" "I have a fancy that there is a 'braw lover' of hers in the Scottish highlands some place," Lela answered. "I had a plan, Mollie, dear. I wanted this Donald Maclane to fall in love with Janet; but I never could induce her to meet him; he is here, often and she always avoids him. 1 have thought it might be because she didn't want to be reminded of her Scotch home." That night at the ball I met Mr. Maclane. I noticed that Miss Douglas avoided him. While the ball was at its height I found her, looking very beautiful and very pale, dressed simply in dark gray, and for the moment quite alone. "The rooms are so warm and my head is aching," 1 said to her. "Would you mind going out with me a few moments? Or are you engaged for the next waltz?" "1 do not waltz," she answered, quietly, "I will be glad of a moment in the outer air; and, arm in arm, we went along the wide hall, pausing briefly on the veranda. Below I saw a gleam of fire, and knew Donald Maciane was walking — alone. "Some gallant pays us a poor compli ment," I laughed. "I perceive the odor of a cigar," very innocently indeed. "If it should be ," she began, and then the burning point was coming directly toward us, and I would not let her turn away. A tall figure became plainly visible and then the ' fleck of light took a flight, swifter than that of a firefly — Maclane had seen us and flung his cigar away. "Come back; come in; let me go," Miss Douglas said pantingly, as he left the shadows and she saw who it was, but I had determined and held her hand firmly. "It is only Mr. Maclane," I said, and then I addressed him. "You don't seem very fond of balls, Mr. Maclane," I said pleas antly. "You came out for a smoke. Miss Douglas and I came out for a breath of air." "Miss Douglas!" he repeated, starting plainly in the moonlight; and then, gravely and clearly, with a touch of scorn in the sweet voice and a new dignity in the slim figure which had suddenly drawn to its full height, the girl spoke: "I have not been presented to this gen tleman," she said, coldly. "I am quite a stranger to him." "Janet, my love, have I found you?" he questioned. And then she turned to me. "Will we not go in?" she asked. "This gentleman has made a strange mistake. "Do not make one yourself, Miss Doug lass," I said quietly, liking the man before us for the moved pallor of his fine face and pitying him for the pain upon it. 1 turned away and left them together. " Later Janet came to me with tender, love-lit eyes, and kissed me as though 1 had been her sister.' ' "I am so happy," she said, softly; "so very, very happy! And I had steeled my heart against him and would have turned away without touching his hand when you spoke. I was an orphan and Mrs. Mac lane took me to her lovely home in the highlands; and she showered on me all the kindly care and mother's love which she would have given a daughter had she had. one. "Then Donald loved me, and she grew suddenly cold as ice; and . she planned to keep us apart, for she had other hopes for her only son. Donald was sent from home on a tour, and then — I canuot tell you how — made me believe that .he had ceased to love me, that he wrote her of his love for a fair English girl whom he had met abroad, and I got no letters. I grew wild with pain, and the fierce rebellion against my dependence seemed to madden me. I cave her his ring and every little love-gift, to be given him when he returned, and, eight years ago. with a few letters of introduction only and scarcely a farthing in my purse, I found my self on board a vessel bound for America." Her voice faltered and her white hands clasped each other closely, but in a moment she smiled. "It is past now," she said, softly; "all has gone by now, and the future has noth ing but love for me — for him. Mrs. Maclane is dead, and I can forgive her be cause I am so happy." Not the National Game. Washington Critic. "Charlie," she said to Mr. Beebesee, "isn't baseball the national game?" '"No," he responded curtly. "Why, Charlie," she said in a hurt tone, "I thought it was." "That was because you didn't know any thing about it." r : --"Well, what is the national game then, Charlie?" "Darned if I know. It isn't baseball, though. At least not baseball like the other clubs in the league are playing." Charlie is a stockholder in the Washing ton nine. Judge Krliey as a Feeder, . Philadelphia Record. "Judge Kelley, 'the Father of the House,' has the most remarkable appetite in con cress," said the representative of one the rural constituencies of central New York in the bar-room of the Girard House yesterday, where he stood talking with a group of local statesmen. "Big feeder, eh?" queried one of the party. -' "Big feeder!" was the reply. "Well, I should say so; but the strange thing about his appetite is that it never really shows its greatness except under the influence of its owner's eloquence. As a general thing the Hon. William D. does not eat much - more than the average healthy man, but when he makes a speech in committee or before the House it puts an edge upon his appetite which takes a powerful amount of food to dull. The more he talks the hungrier it appears to make him. I've seen the old gentleman walk into an important committee meeting di rectly after disposing of a hearty luncheon and talk steadily for an hour, after which he would at once hurry to the restaurant and have some more luncheon. Sometimes when he had a long speech to make the waiters would have orders to keep him sup plied at intervals with such dainty tid-bits as broiled chickens or pate de foi eras sand wiches, and I once saw him astonish I even the gentlemen who had grown used to his peculiarity by eating two broiled chickens after .making a tariff speech of an hoar. Talking appears to have the same effect on him as a sharp walk on a. crisp winter morning does upon the ordinary man, or a three-mile trot before breakfast on a prize tighter training for a mill." ;■; :' : . * ',' "Does .speech-making make him cor respondingly thirsty?" asked another of the group. ■, ;-•■ ;■ ; . - "No, but telling about it has that effect on me," laughed the Few.
