need is to go to work. (Great laugh.

more enterprise and thrift, and less

out on this line until the child of the
poorest man in the city can obtain as
good an education as the sons and
daughters Of the wealthy, through
the public primary. grammar and high
schools, and finally the State Univers-
ity. The combination that was form
ed against the high.school bond meas.
ure was extremely powerful. Gangs
OF Ignorant men were employed at ev-

Very little in said at present by the
democrats in this part of the state in
relation to the coming state campaign,
but the republicans are beginning to
agitate, the question to some extent.
The republican sentiment is unques.
tionably strongly in favor of Hon.
James B. Wakefield for governor. 1t
is generally believed that Wakefield
would give Northern Minnesota an
equal chance with other parts of the
state, as far as his power and influence
would go, in all matters where con.
tlicting interests might arise.
As far as we can learn, the republi.
can sentiment is fully as strong for D.
B. Searlc, Esq, of st. Cloud, for at.
torney general, as it is in favor of
Wakefield for governor. Mr.. Searle
is widely known as all able and thor.
oughly capable lawyer. and would add
credit and strength to the republican

said to have been made by one Geo.
Allen, in relation to the ma agement
Of the Herman House, and on Satur.
day last made an assault upon the per-
son of Allen, but his efforts at cor.
poral punishment were interfered with
by other parties, when he became
Vltuperative, and as the evidence as a9-
duced at the trial conclusively showed,
made threats, which if fulfilled, placed
the life of Allen in a precarious con.
dltlon. The assault was again re-
peated on Wednesday evening last, &C.
companied by numerous promises:
which, if they had all been performedN
would have left Allen scalped,. -
skinned and bleeding corpse,
fit bait for the wolves. Allen be.
coming convinced that if his body cor :
porate must undergo such transmo.
grlhcation, that life must necessarily
become extinct. and as this would be-
highly offensive te the peace and dig.
