BRYAN LIKELY TO BE IGNORED
ReafCrntation of Principles of Knn
mis City I'latform Concerning
Monetary UneMtion Will
: Probably lie Passed.
1 r>ES MOINEB, lowa, Aug. 20.— Practi
cally all the. Democratic leaders of the
have arrived here to attend the state
convention which opens tomorrow in the
'Auditorium at 11 o'clock. The convention
will place in nomination candidates :"i"
governor, lieutenant governor, railroad
commissioner and supreme judge.
Reaflirmatlon of, the principles adopted
by the Kansas City platform concerning
the monetary question undoubtedly will
be passed. John S. Murphy, of Dubuque,
the free silver men's lea i- •'. announced
that his adherents will be content
to have a simple indorsement of the plat
form, without any elaboration as to "doc
trine. They insist, howevi r, that those
who oppose the Kansas City platform will
not number more than aut out of the 1,400
delegates.
Cato Bells, of Vinton, who has been re
gai«7»,l as the foremost candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor, is
sued) a statement last evening, in vhieh
he declares he is not a candidate. Mr.
Bells rays:
More than two months ago T gave out
the statement that I would not be a can
didate for the Democratic nomination for
governor, and I have not changed my
mind since. My especial interest in the
work of the coming sta'.e convention is
that a courageous platform be adopted,
which shall contain an .aggressive but
tenable and fairly disposed plank, favor.
Ing the taxation of railways, the same as
farm and city property, and the nomina
tion of a candidate for governor known
to be in full sympathy with the platform,
who will inspire the confidence of all who
are opposed to railroad domination and
Inequitable taxation.
While this statement does aot talo Mr.
Sells entirely out <>f the Held, there is
■i to believe he will not seett the
nomination in any sense, and that under
pressure he will say he will no*
ih< nomination under any circumstances.
Other candidates now being df.s<
H. .T. Stiger, of Tama county; T. ,T.
Phillips, ox-mayor of Ottumwa; (x-
Benator W. W. Dodge, of Burlington.
and John T. Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids.
Several others are considered, but in a
remote way, as possibilities. Jona T.
Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids, is likely to
develop Into a formidable candidate, as
there is a probability the Sells following
Will be shifted to him.
Tin genuine reform element of the
party has been stirred to fever heat by
the circulation of an evidently authentic
report that a leading railroad attorney,
in close touch with the Burlington and
J. W. Blythe, is sending out letters in
furtherance of a scheme to get a rail
road man on the head of the tick t.
It is said the railway Influences will
rot attempt to restrict the platform, as
they fear their work would )>•■ too patent.
But if they can secure the nomination of
a man friendly to their interests, they
will cripple tne eft, ct of the party's ac
tion and hamper it in any contest that
ina> come up two years from now in case
a Republican legislature fails next win
ter to enact any legislation looking to
ward equitable taxation.

eff Mothers*
What suffering frequently results
from a mother's ignorance ; or more
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter !
Tradition says "woman must suf
fer," and young women are so taught,
Inhere is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment, and her mother should see that
she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion : but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass., and secure from a
woman the most efficient advice with*
out charge.
Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
In January. 1899, saying- her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg
ular menstruation — had headache all
the time, and pain in her side, feet
swelled, and was generally miserable. ■
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March, ISO 9,
the mother writes again that Lydia E.
Pinkham'-a Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter of all pains r.ud irregu-
Nothing in the world equals Lydia E.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu
lating wcuan'i peculiar ruonthlj

$3.25, and notified him to keep the price
secret.
Mr. Phelps publishes the letter of Chair
man LeavTtt, df the board of control, in
the Duluth papers tdday, together with a
red hot roast for the b.oard^ ' £_
On, the face of It, the matter did look
rot her quee^ buj t^je difference grows
6ut of an error of Mr. Leavitjt in notifying
Mr. Phelps of the contract. He stated
trmt tT»e- "price was t o. b. on track in
Duluth and Mr. Phelpf "appfieaT fdf IKB
price of the same coal at the same pofrii.
The Northwestern Fuel company, of this
city, which has the contract, says the
price of $3.85 was for coal delivered at
the school. This allows about 60 cents
for the ha-ul which is about two or three
miles and a long way up hill.
Ordinarily the companies get 50 cents
a ton for delivering coal in Duluth, but
claim that the longer haul to the normal
makes it worth 60 cents. Mr. Phelps
could have learned of this error by in
quiring at the office of the Northwestern
Fu< 1 company here. At its office today
It was asset ted that if the normal board
repudiates the contract. It cannot make
a new one under $1 a ton.
NOTABLE GATHERING.
Former Superintendents at St.
Cloud Itcvi«it tbc Institution.
ST CLOUD, Minn., Aug. 20.—(Special.)
—Supt. Krank Randall, of the state re
formatory, entertained a notable gather
ing today at that institution. It took the
form of a picnic given in honor of D. E.
Myers, the first superintendent of the re
formatory, who is now a resident of Cali
fornia, on a visit to his old home. In
addition to Myers, William K. 1-ee. of
Lltchfield, and \V. H. Houlton, .of Elk
River, who succeeded as superintendents
of the reformatory, were present, togeth
er with a number of former members oi
the boards of managers, including John
Cooper, St. Cloud; Charles Keith, Prince

Merrlam, Minneapolis; D. 11. Evans and
wife. Tracy; Leslie 'Welter, Moo:head;
George \V. Stewart and wife, St. Cloud;
C. S. Crandall, Owatonna, and J. G.
Hultkrnnz. Supt. Coleman, of the Anok%
Insane asylum, happened at the reform
atory on business and became a mem
ber of the picnic party.
The forenoon _was spent in renewing
acquaintances and Inspecting the institu
tion, the older superintendents finding
much in the way of improvements and
methods since the years in which they
in re in full charge. The regular morn
ing- military drill, in which practically
all uf the iiimatea take part, was delay, ft
until after the arrival of the guests of
the day. Then followed a trip through
the difti rent portions of the Institution.
Mrs. Randall took charge, of the guests
at noon, and lunch w:is served at the
.11 home. This afternoon the mom
bera of the party were driven to Pleas
ant hik.- for an outing, returning late
in the evening. This is probably the first
occasion where such a picnic has been
lv Id at which all of the superintendents
of a state institution have been present.
Mr. Mycr was naturally the lion of the
day, owing to his being the "father of
the institution," ami ho found many
amusing Incidents during the day with
which to regale the later working force
at Minnesota's place of reform for men.

WINONA, Minn., Aug. 20.—(Special.)—
Further Information has been received
here regarding the two strangers in tho
city last week looking up railway mat
t< is. Some more of the information that
they piTiiri d here has leaked out, and
from the nature of their inquiries thers
is no longer any reason to doubt that the
road desires a more direct entrance into
the city than the roundabout line of the
Winona t t Western road, and that it is
likely that a direct connection will be
made with the Milwaukee & St. Paul
track at some point between this city
and Minnesota City. It is understood
that the Great Western is also seriously
considering a Wisconsin connection with
the purchase of the Winona & Western
road if it is mad. The strangers made
careful inquiries as to thf bridge facili
ties for crossing tho river, and it is
thought that if no arrangements for the
use of the Green Buy tracks is made, the
proposed new line to Eau Claire may be
built.

REDWOOD FALLS, Minn., Aug. 20.—
CSpecial.)—This town is all torn up
over the efforts of the preach
ers to interfere with Sunday base
ball playing. Even the churches are di
vided and no one minister can hold his
congregation together In an opinion of
whether his action was right or wrong.
Many prominent church members are em
phatic in their denunciation of the policy
of the ministers. The outcome of the af
fair bids fair to have a far-reaching in
fluence one way or another.
The balance of the sentiment Is plainly
with the ball players. Their reason for
this stand, a number of the prominent
citizens state, is that although they do not
advocate Sunday amusements of any
kind, they were given the impression that
the action taken by the ministers and
others was not animated by a spirit of
justice. There were three ministers ar
rested by the advocates of Sunday ball
playing and six church members, ail
charged with witnessing and contributing
to assist in Sunday amusements. The
only ball players arrested were four ot
the local club.
The trial was postponed for one
day beca-use of inability to 'te the
county attorney, who is awa\ . . home.
StijlwaterJJcw^
There was an excited populace In Still
water yesterday, all because the Stillwa
ter Water company had turned McKusick
lake water ioto the water mains in tho
residence district in place of the spring
water that had been furnished for many
years. Supt. Harrison, of the water
company, said Monday that the water
company anticipated a shortage of spring
water provided H. C. Farmer succ-ei-.l .1
in connecting the spring on his property
with a sewer which he is now building,
and in that event It would become neces
sary for the water company to pump
McKuslek lake water into the reservoirs
and mains. He made arrangements to
start the pump near McKusldS lake at
once, but no one for a moment suspect
od that lake water would be found in the
mains yesterday morningl. The pumps
k( pt going all nig-ht, and there was no
spring water in slight except a few drops
that had been left in mains that had not
been tapped. Citizens became excited
when the situation became known, and
they gathered on street corners to con
demn the water company and Mr. Far
mer, rot knowing upon whom to place
the actual blame. They Insisted that a
terrible stench arose from the McKusick
lako water, and that it was not lit Cor
culinary purposes, to say nothing of its
fttnesg. for drinking. Talks of injunctions
and restraining orders could be heard on
all corners, and officers of the board of
health were waiting to act, on the state
ment that the lake water Is not whoie
somi;. Suggestions were marie that sam
ples of the water be sent to the state
board of 'health for analysis, and also
that a board of health expert be sent
here to vi^w the lake from which the
water supply is taken.
S-upt. Harrison, when seen by aGI ob c
correspondent, said that the water com
pany did not intend to continue pumping
the water, as long as there is enough
spring water, and that the spring water
pumps had again been started. He saM:
"We started the pumps to se« If every
thing was all right, and we found an
air leak and were compelled to pump
much longer than we expected. We
found the leak and repaired it, and art.
now Batisfled that everything is all right
at the pumping station, provided it be
comes necessary for us to resort to lake
water.' 1
Tho cause of the contention is the fact
that 11. C. Farmer some time ago re
ceived permission from the city council
to connect his spring, adjoining that of
the water company, with a main leading
to his stable, and he now has a fore ■
of men at work laying a ten-Inch sewer
pipe to the main sewer, through which
he can run up nearly all the spring- water
into the lake if he so chooses. It Is vir
tually a light between Mr. Farmer and
the water company, and by reason of the
use of lake water citiens are com
pelled to bear the brunt of the burden.
TCriek Makey, who a few weeks ago
killed a Finlander in a quarrel at Smd
strne, Minn., is to be defended by Hon.
J. C. Nethaway, of Stfllwater. Maker's
brother-in-law came here Monday to. vis
it Makey, who is confimd in the Wash
ington county jail for safekeeping, and
while hero retained Mr. Nethaway.
John Meyers a*ld John Burdaghs were
in tho municipal court yesterday charged
with a breach of the peace. Myers Baa
been boarding at the home of Rurdaghs,
but he became unbearable and Burdaghs
f.rdrred him out. He refused to go and
Kurdaghs deliberately threw him out.
The- hearing will occur this morning.
The boom shut down yesterday and
will remain closed until tomorrow morn
ing owing to low water. The water In
the. lake registers about two feet and
five-tenths above low-water mark.
The residence of Adolph Drech.sler was
totally destroyed by fire Last night the

evening adopted the report instructing
the ordinance committee to prepare an or
dinance granting the Stlllwater "Water
works company hydrant rental of $66 per
year for each hydrant. Thte will prob
ably not be accepted by the company
and litigation is almost sure to follow.

Will Help Retailers.
The lumber manufacturers, at the semi
annual meeting of the Mississippi Val
ley Lumbermen's association yesterday
at the West hotel, decided to stand by
the retail dalers throughout the coun
try, and to desist from selling at retail
rates to men they think should be pa
trons of country yards.
This does not mean that they will not
sell to consumers. The manufacturers
will stand by the retailers and allow
them a profit, even on sales with which
they have no connection.
A resolution was adopted by the asso
ciation defining the limits of retail yards
and the attitude of the association to
wards retailers and retail associations
The most important clause was one in
which it was set forth that all persons
buying from manufacturers for shipment
except retail dealers sfoall be compelled
to pay 10 per cent above the wholesale
price, the freigiht as well; that this 10
per cent shall be turned over to the sec
retary of the Mississippi Valley associa
tion to be distributed among the retail
lumber yards in the district to which the
shipment was made.

While the state board of health took
extreme measures in an attempt to wipe
out the disease in and about the camps

SENOR VICUNA DEAD

WELL LIKED AT THE CAPITAL

Lfßatlon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—The state de
partment is advistd by telegraph of the
death of Senor Don Carlos Morla Vicuna,
minister from Chile to the United States,
which occurred at Buffalo this morning.
Senor Vicuna was one of the best known
South American statesmen.
The notification came from Senor In
fanta, first secretary of.the Chilean lega
tion, who has been with the minister at
Buffalo, and gave no details beyond the
simple announcement that Senor Vicuna
had passed away. He had been ill for
some time with pneumonia and after
throwing off the first attack suffered a
relapse from which he was unable to
rally. Owing to his being the diplomatic
representative of Chile to the United
States, the government will show every
consideration of respect and honor to the
deceased. Beside being minister from
Chile, he was commissioner to the Pan-
American exposition and lately a delegate
on the Chilean claims commission.
Senor Vicuna came to Washington
about three years ago, succeeding Min
ister Gana, who was transferred to Lon
don. The Vicunas have been prominent
in South American affairs, and the min
ister soon endeared himself to the officials
and diplomatists in Washington by his
charming personality and his ability. He
was accompanied by his wife and family
who have been an interesting acquisition
to the diplomatic circle. Of late the le
gation in Washington has been closed,
the minister and family and the entire
official establishment being removed to
Buffalo, where Chile had taken the lead
of South American republics in the mag
nitude of its exhibit. Soon after the re
ceipt of the dispatch announcing the
minister's death, Secretary Hay sent a
message of condolence to the bereaved
relatives and friends.
A dispatch was sent from the sfpte de
partment to Director General Buchanan,
Of the exposition at Buffalo, authorizing
him to represent th^ department at Bucfa
ceremonies as will be held for the late
minister, and asking him to send a floral
wreath in the name of the department.
Minister Vicuna began his diplomatic)
career in Waahing-ton la(1870, as ilrst sec
retary of the Chilean |< gation, serving in
that capacity for two years, and was
then transferred to London. Subsequent
ly, while filling the same office to the
legation in Paris, ht> was appointed
financial secretary of,.Chile in connection
with the various European legations. In
1S!)5 he was appointed envoy extraordinary
and minister plenlp"bterit!ary to the re
publics of Uruguay and Paraguay, and in
1896 was transferred to act in that ca
pacity in the Argentine Republic. During
the latter part of 1896-he was made secre
tary of state in the Chilean cabinet, and
after holding that office for a period of
ten months, was sent as minister to the
United States.

CZAR TO VISIT FRANCE
WILL. BE PRIiSIDEXT LOI'BET'S
GUEST ABOLT SEPT, 15.
PARIS, Aug. 20.—The Parisians were
delighted today by the unexpected an
nouncement that the czar of Rusia had
accepted President Loubet's invitation to
witness the close of the grand maneu
vers at Rheims, and that he will land at
Dunkirk after having previously witness
ed, with President Loubct, a review of
the northern squadron, which will wel
come his majesty to French waters, it
is also said that the czarina will accom
pany the czar during his visit to France.
There is a drop of bitterness, however,
mingled in the cup of joy, and that is
that the czar will stop on his way for
the purpose of seeing Emperor William
of Germany. But the papers are consol
ing the Parisians with assertions that the
interview between the czar and Emperor
William will take place at sea, off Dant
zlc, bo the czar will not set foot on Ger
man soil before treading that of France.
The Temps says the visit was personally
arranged between President Loubet and
the czar themselves, through the Inter
mediary of a Russian court official.
President Loubet only informed the min
isters a fortnight ago, when the matter
was practically settled. He then showed
them the warm letter of invitation which
he had sent to the czar, and the cordial
acceptance which was shortly afterward
The Temps also says the foreign office
has no news of an intended meeting of
the czar, Emperor William and King
Edward at Kiel Sept. 7, as telegraphed
from Berlin this afternoon. The foreign
office thinks It can even deny the truth
of the story.
The papers already are publishing elab
orate so-called official programmes of
the visit, but the Correspondent of the
Associated Press learns .from the foreign
office here that these are largely im
aginary, as even the. exact dates of the
arrival and departure of the czar are not
fixed. The only thllg certain is that ho
will arrive betweenjsept. 15 and 20. He
will remain four or: five days and w'll
join the czarina, wht> v.-ill come by the
land route to Complegne, to which place
he will proceed from Rheims, where he

Ceremony. "
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—In a report
of the unveiling of the statue commemo
rating the landing of Commodore IV-rry
at Kurihama, Japan, Admiral Rodgera
says:
"On July 12 I was received in audience,
together with Captains MacKenzie, Bper
iy, Commander Swift, and my persona]
staff by the emperor and by tin: empress.
After the audience we were by direction
of the emperor shown through "the palace.
This, I am informed, is an unusual honor,
as is also the granting of an audience
to a for. inn* r during the .summer months,
ry, Commander Swift, and my personal
On the same day I also called on the
princes of the royal family.
"Shortly before 11 o'clock on July 14,
the officers of the Japanese ships landed,
followed by the Americans, and shortly
afterward by a battalion and band of
blue Jackets from thi- Japanese fleet.
About GOO Invited guests landed from the
chartered steamer Hakusi Maru. At tli*
request of Baron Kaneko, the chairman
of the committee, I pulled the line that
held the covering of the monument, thus
exposing it to view. The battalion then
.presented arms, the New York fired a
national salute, with the Japanese flag at
the fore, and the Tatsuse fired a similar
salute with the American flag at the
fore.
"The oldest American residents her*
say there have never before seen mien ex
pressions of sentiment and good will, and
in my cable to the department I ven
tured to suggest that the thanks of his
excellency, tne president of the United
States were warranted, and I am sure
would be much appreciated.
"I beg to convey through the navy de
partment my thanks to the United States
minister to Japan, 001. A. E. Buck, for
his skillful management and his assist
ance to me. His high standing with the
Japanese government has had much to
do with the success of our visit."
