Lyman Loering, Moorhead, was at the Mer-
chants yesterday. He is an extensive farmer
in that locality and owns one-third of the
Stfckney farm, $500 acres and manages the
entire concern, which so far has proved a
very paying investment. He is an old resi-
dent of Minnesota and has lived here long
enough to be thoroughly acquainted with the
climate and seasons and knows how to take

denunciauion of the duties on imports.
Referring to the political situation in the
Fifth congressional district, he said that
knute Nelson, the present Republican con-
gresham, would probably be returned to
congress, although many of the American
Republican residents of the district would
prefer some other man to represent them in
congress. He thought, however, that it
would be impossible to defeat Nelson for the
nomination or election, as his Norwegian
countymer would stand by him to man and
thus make his defeat impossible. He thought
that the only man in the district who stood
any show of defeating Nelson at the polls was
judge Stearns of Duluth. # the latter, he
said. could be induced to come out as an in
dependent candidate there was some show
that the Democrats and disguised Republicans
could pull him through. According to Mr..
Loerng, there is no show for Democrat to
be elected even if Judge Stearns was on the
track.

Paul never would become the town st. Crox
then was and would be, so he went over to
st. CroiX and has since resided there. Dur

Senator John Shaleen, Lordstrom, gave it
out at the hotel yesterday that the resi-
; dents of Chisago county were busily en-
gagged in farming, and had time to spend
politics. He said that great many men
were out for office, but he wanted it under

Capt. r. e. Fisk of the Helena, Mont j..
Herald, arrived from the East. During his
Eastern trip he visited the old battlefield of
Fair Oak, in Virginia, and dug up the car
