and expressed pleasure at the little po-
litical skirmish of Thursday. "There
is one thing. however," he said, as he
glanced over the News; ''if Mr.. Fuller
is correctly reported he shows lack OF
experience and knowledge about GER
tain matters. However, it is over now.
and that is all there is toit. lam little
surprised because some of them are sore
about it. l think that if man is beaten
he ought to make the best of it. That
is one of Mr.. Doran's worst faults. He
wants everything his own way, and is
not willing to be guided by anything
except what is in consonance
with his ideas. If man dis
agrees with me l admire
him for having a mind of his own.
The people have reached that point
where they think and decide for them
selves, and that accounts for the result
of the primaries. l understand some OF
the men who are dissatisfied with the re-
suit contemplate holding another con-
yention and sending cOntesting delega-
ton to the convention. l don't know
whether or not that will be done, but
Pm not going to take any further IN
terest in the matter"

"What do you think of ALDER Schef-
fer's position?" was the question put to
Gov. McGill yesterday by GLOBE re-
porter, with a smile lurking at the cor
ners of his mouth. MIR. Scheffer is
gentleman and a scholar wherever you
find him. However, 1 don't want to go
into this subject very extensively. I'm
out of politics."
Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Todd tells good story of an election
which occurred recently in small town
in Renville county. There were two
candidates running for Office, one OF
whom was very popular citizen, while
the other was not very well known. A
heavy vote was polled and each candi-
date worked with might and main to
defeat the other. The votes were
counted and the popular man received
GOO odd votes, but none could be found
for his opponent. When the result was
announced young man, who had been
standing near watching the count, said
in tones of suppressed Indignation to
the Judge of election: Sir, give you
to understand there has been some
lcrooked work going on here, and know
it,
''And how do You know it?'' said the
judge. .-
Because, sir,' beloved the youth,
his face flushed with rage and excite
m xuhn rnnaivQH votes
was my father, and I'm sure put in
vote for him."
There was an air of sincerity in the
boys words, and the election judge,
after muSing moment, turned to the
clerk and said: .'Well, guess you can
give him One."
Building Inspector johnson received
letter yesterday from Harris Richard
son, attorney for the Edison Electric
Light company, concerning the abate-
ment of the smoke nuisance in accord
ance with the new ordinance. The let
ter says: 'Since conversing with you
/ find that the party with whom the
Edison company contracted for smoke
consumers has already applied them to
two batteries, and that the application
will be made according to his assur-
ances) to the third one by next Tuesday.
Applications to the others will follow as
speedily as possible. 1t is estimated

three weeks"
Although the ten days notice required
by law expired July p, as the company

the building inspector accepts the above
as being all that can be expected. Res
idents near the electric light works who
have been annoyed by daily shower of
SCOT will have no cause for complaint
after a comparatively short time.

J. M. Bohrer-I have been in
the commission business for a great
years, but do not recall a time
when eggs have been so scarce at the
same season as they are at the present
time. They have been scarce and firm
nearly all the spring, and now when
they ought to be plentiful. they are
scarce and have jumped up two cents
and are firm at 16 cents per dozen,
wholesale. / don't know whether the
hens have struck, or whether they
have combined into a kind of trust with
a view of cornering the market. | do
know that they don't shell out the eggs
as fast as they ought to. We will be
compelled to have the chamber of COM
merce pass a resolution on the subject.

newsboy impertuned him to purchase an

the paper in his hands, deliberately

Alb. observation-disclosures of the con-
dition of the crops all through the Red
River valley and other regions where
the Manitoba road runs are to the same
effect-that they have never seen any
thing like the crop promise for the pres
ent year. The season, too, has come
when the danger point is about past.
Wheat is almost out of the milk. In
the vicinity of Aberdeen, Huron, and
the region where those towns are To-
Gated, farmers will commence harvest
ing shortly, but about the 10th of Au-
gust a general onslaught will be made
on the grain. Harvesting is about two
or three weeks later than usual.
