Waited from Superior.

Born, on the Goth ult., to Mr.. and Mrs.

been named Ruth May.
Mr.. Herbert J. Loud, of the firm Of
Loud & O'Brien, is the Democratic candi-

The last two days have played sad
havoc with the snow. The sleigh has
been discarded for the wagon and the
epstwhile empty streets are now crowded
with the ubiquitous politician.
The candidates for Judge of the supe-
rior court are Charles r. Fridley, present
municipal judge, and Charles Smith, a
member of the law firm of Ross, Dryer,
Smith 4 Hamskt. They are both good
lawyers and good fellows. Judge Frid-
Icy, however, is a younger man and will
be literally supported by the working
and industrial elements, whose constant
friend he has always been.
Mr.. Henry J. Jordan, the young and
brilliant Irish-American attorney, is a
candidate for the municipal j1}geship.
He is making good canvass, and as his
opponents are three Republicans. it is
thought he will slip in between them. II
Mr.. Jordan should be elect+d he would
undoubtedly add dignity to the office and
discharge his duties in manner tina,
would be creditable TO himself and the
community at large.
The Catholic Union had a very enthu
siastic meeting on Sundy last, which was
attended largely by the fair sex. The
purpose of the meeting was to arrange
for bazaar to be held May 30. Great
interest was manifested by every one pres
ent. Entertaining speeches were made
by Messrs. McCabe, Collins, Dwyer,
Shortall, O'Brien and Jordan. The Or
ganization is already on paying basis,
the rent OF the hall almost entirely de-
fraying the expenses. Ths rooms are as
fine as amy in the northwest, and it the
Catholic Union continues to prosper in
the future as it has in the past, it requires
no prophet to predict for it an enormous
influence as civilizing element through
the new northwest.
Judge Roberts depends so much on
his popularity arising, as he supposes,
from the fact that he never wears clean
shirt or patronizss that portion of the
industrial element engaged in the tonso-
rial art, that he does not essay to emerge
from his philosophical retreat to make
himself known to the voters of Douglas
county. Although in personal appsar-
ance Judge Roberts might be mistaken
for rabid socialist, yet it seems he has
but little sympathy for the classes who
labor as he did himself a few years ago
He was 10. content with binding the
strikers over to the circuit court for trial
on pretty scaly evidence, but in speaking
OF them afterwar, 8 he referred to them
as lot of id anarchists that ought to
be hung. That's why we say that some
other qualifications are necessary besides
an unlaundried shirt and All unkempt
Uranium to entitle man to popularity
with the working men.

SCIENCE OF ALL KINDS.

IT was Prof. Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might
be set at two hundred years; this on the
general principle that the life of nearly
all living creatures is eight times the
years, months or weeks of its period Of
growth.
