ANSWERS PARTY'S CALL.
Johnson Will Accept Nomination for
Governor of Minnesota?Named
Against His Wishes.
Gov. Johnson lias announced that
lie would accept the nomination for
governor of Minnesota tendered to
liini I)y the Stale I)einocralie convention
at Minneapolis.
lie did not issue a formal statement1
hut said:
"After due consideration of the:
mailer and before ! have been for-!
nially notified I will tell you that 1
have made ii|> my mind to lay aside I
personal considerations and listen to I
the call of the parly. I will accept I
the nomination when it is formally!
tendered to me.
"I desire to stale aLo, and lo 1
make it emphatic, that il' the committee
hail called on me before the nominal
ing speech had been made, 1
would have positively declined I be
a candidate.
''This acceptance is contrary to
my better judgment. I iiave given!
Ibis mailer the closest thought for the
pasl 'J I hours, and my first opinion!
thai a third nomination is unwise and :
against the principles of the parly is j
unchanged, yet I hardly see how I j
can get away from making the race j
without pulling the party in a hole, j
| regret this action and wi-h it had j
never happened.
''The nomination has been made. I
have been declared the nominee and
so I here you are. It really leaves 1110 i
in an embarrassing position and t he J
parly in a similar position. So you j
see the only thing I can do is lo !
yield.
Gov. Johnson received a telegram!
of congralidalion from William J. I
Bryan, in which Mr. Bryan said he j
would do all he could to help Mr. j
Johnson to win.

Columbia Girl Starts for Orient to

Miles.
( obunbia Stale. 2Is|.
< 'olumbia is the centre of a< pretlv
a little romance as ever inspired the
philosopher Burlou lo decalre that
"no cord or cable draws so forcibly
or binds so fast as love can do with j
a single thread." In Ibis case love;
has bound two hearts as one on two
conlinuenls 10,000 miles apart. Two
years ago there came to the city of
Augusta, (!a.. a young German busi-|
ncss man of high qualifications, manhood
and fine education. lie was1
a fluent speaker of Knglish, having,
been in America two years previous-1
1 y, and before coming to this country,
having had business connections 111!
Antwerp and various cities in F.ng- j
land. After being associated fori
about a year villi lntnan & Co., the
great cotton exporters, he decided to
locale in China, but not before he had \
won I he heart of one who is soon to I
become helpmeet in life's journey. I
The young woman in the meantime,
the time between 'lis first residence'
in Augusta and his departure for the
Oricnl, had moved to Columbia with]
her parents and this became her 1
home.

fulfillment. The young lady,
Mis-i Ida I*'. Meyer, is the daughter
of M1 >. Welt ner, wife of K'ev. C. K. |
Well uer. pa>t or of St. Luke'-* Lutheran
church in I lie Ulympia district and
formerly pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran
church of Angus!a. She has
endeared herself by her charming
personality to everybody in the city
who knows her worth, ller long journey
will lake her to San Francisco,
I he fir* I slopping point on the trip
across the comimicni. arriving at San |
Francisco on I he '_'~>th. She will spend '
four days in the city of the Golden
Gale, from out whose portals she

At llong Kong Miss Meyer will be

ceremony will be performed there on
the day of arrival. The wedding trip
will lake I hem to Swalon, China,
where I he bridegroom-to-be is a member
of Ihc firm of Koese & Bros.,
large exporters and importers in the

Miss Meyer is a graduate of I ho

ILLINOIS AND MAINE.
Strong Fight to Be Made For Those <
States?Former Vice President I
Stevenson Confident. <
Former Vice President Adlai 10. 1
Stevenson, Democratic candidate for I
governor of Illinois, came to Chicago 1
I rotn his home in Blootnuiglon and
for over an hour conferred with Na- 1
tiomil Chairman Mack on the general i
situation ami what part the national i
committee should take in the State i
campaign. Mr. Stevenson's visit fol- I
lowed a luncheon tendered him by the ]
Iroquois club, at which he predicted i
a I democrat ic victory in November in '
a speech which brought rounds of applause
| mm I he large number presit-iit
.
In campany with Francis Peabody, '
hi- campaign manager, Mr. Stevenson
called upon Chairman Mack at
the national committee headquarters
and discussed the outlook and problems
that the Democrats will meet in !
the I iglit in Illinois. Mr. Stevenson '
told the national chairman that from
reports received by him he believed
Illinois would go Democratic for both '
the gubernatorial and national tickets.
Mr. Mack informed the former '
vice president that the national com- '
mil tee had planned an effective cam- (
paign in that State and that it would 1
lend any aid required by those directi'i
the gubernatorial fight. Mr. ?
S!eve!isi?n will make several speeches
ii' the State during the next two
mouths, and it i< not unlikely that lie 1
may be called upon by the national
committee to uo outside his State oil
ii short stumping tour.
Speaking of the Democratic outlook |
i" the national campaign this year,
Mr. Stevenson said in his address at
t he 1 roquois luncheon :
"It looks like a return of the Do- ,
moeratic spirit of 180'J, when Cleve- ,
land was elected. 10 very where 1 have (
spoken I have found Democrats form- >
erly antagonistic to Mr. Bryan with
him now and they tell me they wish )
to support me also. It is astonishing ,
the assurances of support I have received
from Republicans who declare |
that they believe the time has come
for a change. If we put our shoulders
in the wheel we ran bring about j
a great Democratic victory in November.
ANIMAL PROFITS.
A Bostock Chimpanzee Showing Off
at 1G0 Pounds Per Week.
Co invest one's money in the purchase
ot wild, lorest-bred animals in j
order to train the same for public j
performances, is ;i somewhat specula j ;
live business; for apart from (' > ex- '
pense of capture and the cost .?f i
training there is always a danger J
that the animals will fail to bet ome
acclimatized to foreign couu'"ics, and
die when the unlucky showman or '
circus proprietor has spent hund.-T.'s!
ot pounds upon them. Lord (leorge
Sanger has confessed that lie once
|>;'id l.'JUd pounds cash down for six
young giralfes. Two days later two
of the animals died, and shortly afterwards
the remaining four died a\-! :
Si I. <
Lariuun used to say that only one. i
elephant, tiger, lion or monkey in ;
six which he purchased brought him J
any prolit, and other showmen make;
similar complaints. The most aggra-j
valing part of the business is, how- |
ever, that often when an annual has t
been trained, seems to be thoroughly '
used to foreign climates, and is re- '
paying some of the money its owner
lias spent on its purchase and rear- ^
iug. it suddenly dies. Take the cast?
Consul, for instance, Mr. linstock's
remarkable chimpanzee, which died
some time ago in Berlin. This animal
was insured for L\">,000 pounds, |
ami was earning from 100 to 150 <
pounds a week when il died. Furth- )
crmore, Mr., Host tick had booked con- <
tracts for il to appear at a price of '
:M10 pounds per week. I
Luckily Mr. Bostock was able to |
discover two other exceptionally fine i
specimens of the chimpanzee tribe,
which he has named Consul T. and
< oitsnl II. The former, which is the
cleverer animal of the two, will appear
at the forthcoming Karl's Court
Kxhihition. and earns as much as
!<! ? pounds per week. Consul 11. is
Honernllv hooked ;il <0 pounds per
week, while Ksau, another of Mr.
linstock's wonderful chimpanzees,
uppears at SO pounds.
Thev.f) animals are most difficult to
tear, elephants, tigers and lions,
kvhieh cost anything from 200 pounds
to f>00 pounds each, being also very
uisceptiblc to climatic changes. They
fully repay the care and attention
which must be bestowed upon them,
lowever. Mr. Bostock, for instance,
las a diminutive elephant for which
io has been offered sums varying
from 1,000 pounds to 2,100, all of
which he has refused. This is the
smallest performing elephant in the
world and earns from HO to 100
rounds per week. Another troupe of
dephanls earns from 00 to 1">0 pounds
or week, a group of tigers from 1O0
o lf>0 pounds, while a group of lions
ring in as much as 200 pounds per
iveek.
Performing dogs are perhaps {.lie
least expensive. These animals can
low be bought for about 10 pounds
ipiece, and well trained easily secure
>0 pounds per week. Some of Mr.
Uoslock's dogs earn as much as 80
munds per week, while from 50 to
JO pounds is paid for the performance
>f his sea-lions.?London Tit-Bits.
EDISON ON SKY SAILING.
Says Hoavier-Than-Air Machine
Will Solve the Problem.
S'ew York Tribune
Mr. Kdison showed great interest
in the various attempts being made
n different parts of the world to
ravel in the air. "It is coming;
some one is liable to solve the proHem
any day," he said.
"Don't you think. Mr. Kdison, that
lie problem is already solved, and
hat :ill now needed is scientific and
Miiriiieering talent and money?'' lie
,vas asked.
"No, 1 don't think that. Tt isn't
solved yet. 1 don't think Inventors
lsive been on the right track. 1 lie
rre.it difficulty, of eoiir>e. is the tremendous
power required in the cnrine.
which :it the same time must be
k*erv light. There are lots of men
vvorking night and day on the pro)leiu,
and some one will do the trick,
liable to run across the solution any
lay now," he added.
lie told Mr. Farman he had made
extensive experiments fifteen years
igo in connection with flying machines.
but had been compelled to give his
nttent ion to other things that had
since engrossed him.
Speaking of the criticism so often
made of the aeroplane, that when the
ngines slopped it was in danger of
falling to the ground, Mr. Edison
made a rough sketch of a slight modification
of an old device of his, in
which :i parachute which remained
closed during the operation of the
motor would instantly open should
the motor stop. This was accomplished
through utilization of centrifugal
force.
Mr. Farman received the sketch as
;i gift. Mr. Kdison first placing on it
his autograph.
"llow about the fture of the dirigible
balloon, . Mr. Kdison?"
"It has no future, speaking commercially.
It luis no great future
rtnv way you take it,*' was the prompt
reply. "It may be utilized in some
measure in war, in but the heavierthan-air
machine that can go straight
against the wind?ah! that it the
thing that must come."
"You refer to the aeroplane?"
somebody suggested.
"No." he said. "I'll tell you what
I t hink about this skv-sailing business.
As 1 have said, it's sure to
come. They haven't got it yet, but.
they will. But when the question is
solved you will find that the machine
that goes straight up in the
tir?screws itself vertically into the
;iir?has answered the riddle."
"The helicopter?" he wa' asked.
"Wight." he answered.
This, by the way, involves the very
principle fancifully ascribed to the
narvelons flying machine of "Wobur
I he Conqueror" by Jules Verne a
generation ago.
