In the list of candidates for Office
there is only one on the republican
ticket who has not an extended
acquaintance in the county at large,
and that is the candidate for register
of deeds, Ed Lehman. We know and
can recommend and endorse Mr..
Lehman as competent, capable, ac-
countant, courteous and obliging and
if elected, as he undoubtedly will be,
will make an efficient officer.
On Saturday evening ex-congress-
man s. G.. Comstock, will deliver an
address at the court house, and as he
is well known and of repute as q
vigorous and energetic campaign
speaker, a large audience will I'M
be present. Hon. F. NJ.
Eddy has been invited to be present
on that occasion, and if possible for
him to arrange his dates, he will
divide the evening with Mr.. Com
stock.
How about the bell for the school
house, and while speaking of the bell,
it would be we'll to consider the
a INSTABILITY of extending the tower
about ten or fifteen feet higher. Con-
tractor Hancock says it can be done
at comparatively small expense, and
It would materially improve the ap-
pearance of the now building as the
lower, now that the addition has been
Quilt, is too low and detracts from the
general appearance of the structure.

Judge G. E. Flandreau and G. P.
Iaginnis gave very interesting ad-
lress at the court house last Saturday
'vening and to an appreciative
audience. Mr.. Flandreau is one of the
leading democrats of the
Itate and an able and convincing de-
oater. In our former fellow towns
nan G. P. Maginnis, the audience was
sgreeably disappointed, his remarks
icing bright; witty and forcible, in
TACT it might be said they were de-
,idedly pat,and but few had any idea
hat G. P. could acquit himself with
such creditable ability on the rostrum.
In order to measure your land and
get near estimate of the acreage of
any tract or field, get rope sixty-one
feet long, stretch it we'll and after
wards soak it thoroughly in tar to
prevent shrinkage. In each end
fasten ring, the rings to be exactly
sixty feet apart and in the centre of
the line tie red rag. The rings are
to enable one person to do the measur-
ing, which is done by putting a stake
through the ring into the ground to
hold it while it is being stretched out.
One acre of ground, will be a piece
four times the length of the rope and
two and one-half wide.
There is quite little feeling in
Swan Lake over the manner in which
some of the populist managers got
possession of the school house for a
meeting last week. By the way, that
meeting did not result very salts
factorily,in fact after Peter G.. Larson
had got through with his cross-exam-
ination of the peoples party speakers,
they were satisfied that not only had
their meeting been a failure, but that
their claims for votes in Swan Lake
were forever gone, and the method of
obtaining the school house would
have injured their cause, even if
Peter had not completely upset and
exposed the fallacy of their argument,
Just about the time the immense
audience was assembling, on the oc-
casion of Senator Davis speech, an
alarm of fire was sounded. The fire
was in the Stewart elevator on the
Great Northern track, and was just
starting when fortunately discovered.
II was of incendiary origin and had it
been started few hours later, would
have destroyed the building,but being
early in the evening there were many
ready hands to assist in the work OF
subduing the incipient blaze. The
engine room door was forced open
and the fire was started in a bunch oil
waste at the bottom of the crib work
in stairway leading to cupola; kerosene
