because that gentleman happens to be
younger in years than his moss.back
Democratic competitor. Mr.. John
son is a young man of sterling habits,
fully competent to discharge the du-
tics of the Office for which he has
been nominated. Since the retire.
ment of Mr.. Fritsche, Mr.. johnson is
the first and only man nominated for
county office from the upper part of
the county by either party, and the
voters in the adjoining towns of West
Newton, Ridgely, Lafayette and
| CORTLAND should take pride in cast
ing their ballots for him. No more
worthy man has ever come before
them.
David Steinbach, former resident
of Milford, this county, met a violent
death last Wednesday, near Wadena, at
the hands of one Saullev and his wife.
| The murGerers have both been arrest
ed, and have made full confession.
They both attacked Steinbach near
their house, while he was passing on
the highway, the husband striking
him on the mead with a club, break
ing his skull, and the wife thrustlng
pltchfork into his body until life was
extinct. The body of Steinbach. was
then placed upon one Of his own hors-
es and carried by his murderers half
mile in the swamp and left there, they
intending to return at night and bury
it. The murder is the outcome of
nelghborhood quarrel. Some days
previous to the murder Steintach and
Saulley had i fight, in which the lat
ter's wife took part and was seriously
hurt by Steinbach.
! Hon. John Lind Of Tracy having
been asked by the editor of the I'ruml-
pet to give his opinion as to how the
Scandinavians will vote at the
coming election, volunteers the fol-
lowing:
''My opinion is that the greater num-
Der of the Scandinavians, and at least
nine-tenths Of the Swedish Republi-
cans will vote the straight ticket as in
the past. This movement on the part
of the Democrats in putting a Norwe-
gian at the head of their ticket, for
the sole purposes Of pandering to the
prejudices of a nationality is too
coarse to win. It is perhaps natural
for any people to be more or less
clannish, but the Seandinavians are
less SO, think, than most others, and
while they undoubtedly like to
vote for and support countryman,
when they can do it honorably and
consistently, they will not do it in re-
Spouse to proposition SO palapbly in.
sulting to their political judgment
and independence as that rendered by
the Democrats this fall
The only argument we hear against
the re-electien of Mr.. Schubert is she
has held the office long enough and
should now give way to new man.
Mr.. Schubert has been in the county
treasury about seven years, and has
proved himself an efficient and capable
official. During that time we have
| failed to hear one word against his
official acts. He is thoroughly con-
versant with the duties of the office
and during his administration not one
cent Of the tax payers money has
gone estray. The tax payers OF Nicol-
let county continued Mr.. Fritche. their
efficient county treasurer, for ten
years, and would have reelected him
for the sixth time if he had so deslr
ed. Not a breath of opposition was
heard against Mr.. Schubert until he
kicked over the party traces, which
in the eyes Of the Democratic moguls
untitled him to continue longer in
Office.
Official circulars have been received
announcing the appointment of Mr..
w. P. Cosgrave as Superintendent of
the Winona & st. Peter railroad. Mr..
Crosgrave has held the position OF
chief train dispatcher of the WinoDa
& st. Peter since 1874. Previous to
this he had fifteen years railroad ex-
perience with the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul railroad, having fill
ed the position Of chief train dispatch
er of the La Crosse, Prairie du Chen
and Chicago divisions, and also that
of assistant superinte ndent of the Chi
cago division. This appointment is
hailed with pleasure by all the en-
ployes of the road Mr.. Geo. F. Bid
well, who has for some time occupied
the position of train master at Sleepy
Eye, has been appointed assistant sup
erintendent, with Office at Tracy, Mr..
Bidwell will have full charge of the
operation of the Tracy yard, including
the trains of the Dakota division.
Both appointments take effect Nov.

The following is so good that we
publish and commend it to the con-
sideration Of all: 'cDon't be afraid of
helping some one besides yourself.
Don't be afraid to do something for

Dor more than it does yourself. Do
your own duty and follow your own

others and not drag. Be something
more than an objector. Do not always
