A map of the Winona & St. Peter
Land Co.'s lands exhibited at the aud
itor's Office, shows that the company
has disposed of most of it's lands in
the Eastern part of the county. Less
than three sections remain untaken in
Three Lakes, which contained large
body of these lands year ago.
Another newspaper change .as an
nounced last week, owing to the re-
moval of Richard Caldwell, of the
Balaton Journal and Marshall News
Messenger, to Ottawa Illinois, where
the Caldwell Brothers will again en-
gage in business. No newspaper man
in the state better knew how to make
little town writ large" than Dick
Caldwell.
There is agrowing feeling that judi
cial and educational Offices should
be taken out of politics entirely. Super
intend Race does not pretend to be
anything but a Republican in politics,
but we should like to see his majority
such as to show, as was shown in the
convention, that he owed his election
to his merits as an official. Martin
Kranz, Mr.. Races only competitor, is
a pleasant gentleman and good teach
er, and will doubtless get highly
complimentary vote in the south side
where he is best known.
There are four candidates for sheriff
in the field, and all good men too, but
G. w. Mead will be chosen and the
others left. During his four years in
Office Mr.. Mead has attended to bust
ness and thus made himself practical
ly solid with the people. Mr.. Mead
was farmer from Underwood. John
Whittet, the democratic candidate, is
an old and favorably known settler of
Three Lakes, though now living in
Redwood Falls; M. Bredvold, of Sun
down, is worthy Scandinavian farm
or who had the honor of the nomina-
ton thus upon him by his alliance
brethren, and F. A. Blethen, the cold
water candidate, is another honest
farmer from the southwest corner of
the county.
One of the sure winners on the Re-
publican county ticket is our present
and prospective judge of probate, Eras-
tus D. French. Judge French is serv-
ing his first term in that Office, and
having demonstrated his fitness and
trustworthiness in Office, is in our opin-
ion entitled to another term regard
less of party feeling. His nomination
in the Republican convention was I'M
animous and hearty. Although his
friends do not need to work the "old
soldier racket" in his behalf, it happens
that he was in it at Gettysburg and
many other similar skirmishes during
the national unpleasantness years ago
Judge French has honorable competi-
tors on the other tickets, in Squire c.
w. French, of this place, an old-time
citizen and all-wool democrat; Jas
Longbottom, all old and respected
farmer in Vail township, who is the
Alliance candidate; and A. D. Smith
a we'll educated and industrious young
farmer, of this vicinity, who is con.
scientious prohibitionist and therefore
no Offices Ger.
There was railroad accident here
on Tuesday. While Mr.. o. A. Hines
