KNUTE NELSON'S DISTRICT.

Ors. Talks on the Situation

''ThuS far the congressional campaign
in the Fifth district has been conducted
in the most amicabie manner" said ex-
Senator S. q. ComSt0ck, of Moorhead.
one of the aspirantS to succeed Hon.
KnutesNelSon, land this, too, despite
the fact that there are five candidates
in the field.
1T was promulgated that Senator
Buchanan was out of the race, but acting
under the advice of his friends, he has
re-entered the political arena, so that
there are five gentlemen, all good fell
lows, whose names will be brought be-
fore the convention at st. Cloud, the
18th of next month. They are MeSsrs.
Barto, Buchanan, CorliSs, Stearns and
myself, and each will go into the con-
yention with from dozen to twenty
delegates at his back.
up to date, however, not more than
dozen or SO delegates have been chosen
and these are from the smallest dis
tricts, SO that it is almost impossible to
forecast what the strength of the cantli-
dates will be convention day. Among
those who profess to be cognizant of the
situation the impression prevails that
the action of Senator Buchanan will cut
into the strength of Messrs. Barto and
Stearns, for the senator is a very popu-
lar man in the Fifth district
'All doubt has been diSpelled as to
Mr.. Nelson's determination not to al
low his name to be used in connection
with congressional nomination. for
while no one questions that he could be
sent to congress during his life if he so
desired. he emphatieally declines to
run again, and principally because of
his desire to work for his family awhile.
Il do not think that he wants to go-to
the senate of the United States, for the
expense of living at Washington is very
great and Mr.. Nelson only has 4 modest
competence, and this he wants to inn
prove ere it is too late. 1t is gratifying,
however, to those concerned in the
pending canvass to note the absence of
personal bitterness in conducting the
campaign, and on every hand it is mani
fest that there is a desire for the best
man to win the nomination, which in
clIrps an pIactinp -

Mr.. Lienau EditorialIy Addresses
a Few Words to DIR. Ames.


The st. Paul Volk-Zeitung editorially
produces the following comments on the
Ames manifesto:
Mr.. Ames has expressed himself
lately to the effect that foreigners who
did not come to this country for the pur-
pose of becoming American citizens
should pack their trunks and return to
their own homes. According to our eX-
perience, every foreigner who has some
thing to say in politics has at least de-
cfared his intention to become an
American citizen-therefore the above
remark could only mean that those for
eigners who feel inclined to vote for
Albert Scheffer for governor would do
well Tin the doctors opinion) to return
to Europe. The doctor will, perhaps,

Somebody turned in ''wringer' on
Prof. o. r. Gleason, the horse trainer,
last night that puzzled the handler of
vicious animals more than any horse he
had seen in a long time. 1t was beau
tiful animal, sleek and spirited, but a
baker. 1t was said that the horse has
a record as baker, and has been. in
times past. used on all the soft marks in
the way of horse traders that have come
along. For an hour and half the
trainer tried to tame the beast to go,
but he seemed only to know how to
whoa" The professor dashed him nm
til his arms were tired, and the animal
would not come to time. About 10
O'Clock he gave it up for bad job and
said he would work the horse eight
hours i'll private to-day, and try him
again tonight. He said he had never
come across SO balky a horse in all his
previous work. About 500 people
watched the entertainment.

The river rose 4 of a foot yesterday

water mark and gradually rising. Sergt.
Lyons of the signal Office predicts
that there will be rise of a of foot
again to-day, leaving it where it was at
the time it reached the highest mark
four weeks ago. There will be little
damage done, but the people living on
the upper and lower flats will have TO
desert their homes again until the water
goes down. This last rise of the river
has been gradual as a result of the
protracted rains. "The rainfall of the
last four weeks is without precedent in
the history of the Northwest" said
Sergt. Lyons yesterday. "Since April
Is we have bad ~ inches, enough to
last four months" And the rain is not

The society has agreed to givea pub

people interested in trying to enlight-

We have some very enterprising
men in our county any way, as little
as is said about it, one of which is
Mr.. E. w. Smart, who is engaged
in the Dairy business. Mr.. Smart
laid his future plans before us for his
future work which we think will be
successful and of much advantage to
our country. Mr.. Smart speaks of
running a small creamery at his
place as he has fine spring for the
business. If his neighboring farm
ers will sell him their milk he will
pay them a fair price for it which
will be much better than trying to
sell their butter few months in the

farmers at any time to discuss the
matter.

All the agents of the Wollen Mills
at this place report a considerable
shortage in the wool crop this year.
This is result of the depredations
of the worthless dogs that are so nu-
merous in the country. They are
permitted tOroam over the country
unrestrained and kill all the sheep
they can find, and the farmers are
giving up sheep raising for want of
the necessary protection. We ought
by all means to have some law to
protect the sheep against the

more restrictions on Mr.. Cur.
