tary H. O. Basford of Mower, H. A.
Eckholdt of Olmsted countv, James
O'Brien of Houston county, J. M. Di
ment of Steele county, and George B.
Arnold of Dodge county. Messrs, Gray
of Fillmore, Tawney of Winona and
Greer of Wabasha were not present. The
committee met at five o'clock in tho af­
ternoon and arranged the time for hold­
ing the conventions, and then adjourned
until evening, when the places were se­
lected. At the latter session they were
waited upon by a delegation of promi­
nent Owatonna Republicans. The con­
vention to select 'lelegates to the Repuo
lican National convention, will meet at
Owatonna May 15. Two delegates and
two alternates will be chosen. The con
vention to nominate Congressmen will
meet at Rochester, July 10. One of the
entertaining features of the evening ses
sion was the severe manner in which
Hon. James O'Brien criticised Milo
White. It met with the warmest appro
bation of the Owatonna Republicans.
Mr. O'Brien championed the selection of
Owatonna, for the congressional conven­
tion.
DISTRICT court convened yesterday at
11 o'clock, with Judge Farmer presiding.
There were 47 cases on the civil calendar,
and six on the criminal calendar. On the
preliminary call several of the cases were
settled and several more continued. The
call of the calendar and charging the
grand jury occupied the forenoon. The
afternoon was devoted to arguments on
motions before the court. The first jury
case will begin this morning. The case
of Feldt vs. The Minnesota Northwestern
Railroad, for the trial of which a struck
jury had been summoned, was settled in
the afternoon by the payment of $600 by
the railroad to the plaintiff, Wm. Feldt.
On the settlement of the case the struck
jury was discharged. Among the law­
yers present yesterday from out of town
were John A. Lovely, Albert Lea, J. Mc
Knight of LeRoy, Frank Allen of Spring
Valley, H. R. Wells of Preston, Judge
Lusk of St. Paul and J. C. Williams of
Oskalooea, Iowa. Court will probably
continue throughout most of next week.

ty convention of Cerro Gordo was held
in Mason City on Saturday, March 10,
and the delegates selected to attend the
Republican state convention were in­
structed to support Allison for the presi­
dency. Let the good work

One Fact
Is worth a column of rhetorie, said an
American statesman. It is a fact, estab
lished by the testimony of thousands of
people, that Hdod'sSarsaparilla does cure
scrofula, salt rheum, and other diseases
a or affections arising from impure state or
low condition of the blood. It also over­
comes that tired feeling, creates a good
appetite, and gives strength to every part
of the system. Try it.
