MAJOR M. r. BALDWIN is the
unanimous nominee of his party
for congress in the Sixth district.
Mr.. Charles A. Towne is the unan-
imous nominee of the Republicans.
Kittel Halverson-well, Kittel is
not in it. Mr.. Towne and Mr..
Baldwin are both good clean men
one Democrat and the other a
Republican. If the majority of
the voters of the Sixth district ap.
prove of the factory closing, wage
lowering, Understanding SUI
gar-trust- congress they will elect
Mr.. Baldwin. If on the other
hand the people are tired Of Dem
ocratic misrule, if they wish tc
render the Cleveland administers
ton powerless to infict further in
jury upon the wage earners, farm
ers and business men Of the coun
try they will vote for Nh. Towne
Personalities should be avoided
Naught can be truthfully sail

either Mr.. Towne or Major Bald
win. We believe Mr.. Towne viii

They Will Redistrict.

The decision of Judge Baxter in the
j. M. Price mandamus case was filed
with Clerk of Court Briggs Friday.
It orders that the board of county COM
missioners shall, on the 22nd day of
September, divide the county into five
commissioners districts. The board
had adjourned to that date for the ex-
press purpose of considering the mat
ter of redistricting. Under the de-
cision OF the attorney general, Messrs.
McCool and Barrett will hold over for
two years, and if they are placed in
even numbered districts they will hold
six years longer. We have expressed
our views on this matter of redistrict-
ing and it is not necessary to reiterate.
We have held that the courts could
force a redistricting. We adhere to the
opinion that both the county attorney
and attorney general are in error-but
the opinion of the latter official goes
unless some interested party has it set
aside by the courts, and as far as the
UNION is concerned we are willing
that it should stand as correct inter
probation of the law, for it would be
hard to improve upon Messrs. McCool
and Barrett as commissioners. We
sincerely hope that the county will be
redistricted in a manner satisfactory
to the people of the county, and that
the benefits to inure from an increase
in the number of county commissioners
will more than Offset the expenses, en-
tailed by such increase in the number

VIM. Kings Team Plunges Over

Mr.. King and His Son and Mrs

the Wreck and Escape
with Slight TniurieS.

n On Monday afternoon Mr.. VIM.
King, accompanied by his son, started
for their home in Wyanette with a
load OF dressed lumber on the wagon.
In going down the slope to the East
Branch bridge the lumber slid forward
upon the horses, frightening them into
lively gait across the long bridge.
Mrs. O'Brien and Miss Nellie Thomas
We're in a single rig coming up the east
ern slope of the bridge just as the now
thoroughly scared team came dashing
along. Miss Thomas endeavored to
turn on the bridge and get her horse
and buggy out of danger. Realizing
that she could not, she left the buggy
and got off the bridge. Mrs. O'Brien
ran to the opposite side of the brid ge
close to the railing. The big team
sheered off as it approached the horse
and buggy, and went crashing through
the railing over the side of the bridge,
carrying with them Mr.. King and his
| little son, Mrs. O'Brien, wagon, lum-
/ Der and railing down 10 or IL feet to
/ what seemed almost certain death.
z Very fortunately, they struck on a
large pile of loose brush thrown in
last spring to prevent a washout at the
time of the freshet. Mr.. King paid ne
attention to his team and left them tx
extricate themselves from the wreck
while he looked after Mrs. O'Brien
who fortunately escaped with a few
f slight bruises. Mr.. King sustained

left home about the 10th of August

The Telephone Monopoly.

Of that kind its bump of greed is it.
prominent characteristic. Having fec
on the fat of the land for so long 1t 1:
loath to stop and enter into fair com
petition. BY means of the Berlnel
patent, which had been resting from
1877 to 1891, the company sought to ex-
tend its patent of 1876 and again faster
its grip on the public.
But the trick was so transparent. says
the Detroit news, that the government
quickly attacked the patent and the
case is now pending in the courts. There
have been several bills introduced In
congress, amending the existing patent
law so that patent issued in this
country should not expire, as it does at
present, on the expiration OF the same
patents in foreign countries. But here
Is another chapter OF history. In May
Of last year three patents were granted
to the Western Union Telegraph Co., on
application filed by Thomas A. Edison
away back In 1877, the very year Of the
application for the Berliner patent. Ii
covers the battery transmitter as the
original Bell patent does the magnetic
transmltter. This claim has been lying
in the patent Office all these years wher
the sameethiug has been in public use or
the company's other patents. 1t was re-
yived last year and a patent taken out OIL
il for the express purpose OF of splicing
it to the other patents Of the company
as they expire.
One thing only stands in the way, ant
that is the law causing the life of do
mestic patent to cease with the expira
tion Of the same patent in foreign coun.
tries. Mr.. Edison applied for and Sc
cured patents on the above claim tho
very year the claim was filed here, II
Eogland, Canada, France, Germany
Italy, Spain, Belgium and other Euro
rean countries. The patent having ex
pred abroad, it is Of no value here as
the law stands. $50 much the worse
then, tor the lsw; the law must co.
virtually says the great monopoly whcl
is now netting nearly $4,000. COO yearly
on its one patent. A little matter Tx,
the form OF a patent statute is of as litti;
Importance to the telephone monopoly
as the form OF tariff bill is to the great
sugar trust In either case the law mus
be made to the conform 10 the wants anC

tion Is, will members of congress dare tt
repeal this provision Of the paten'
law solely TO prolong the power of the

voter ought to watch his representative:

AUGUST w. LINDHoLM, the Ascending
deputy secretary Of state under Jochim,
has been arrested at Gothenberg, Swed-
en-, and will be brought back. At the
time he disappeared 1t was thought that
the shortage In his accounts was the
cause Of his sudden departure, but de-
velopments on the trial Of several state
officers for connection with the election
frauds have led to the suspicion that the
principal cause was desire to avoid
giving evidence at those trials. Sensa-
tlonal developments are expected to fol-
low his return to this state in connection
with the election fraud trials.
