FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Hon. Nicholas Juliar is a candidate
for representative subject to the ac-
tion of the Republican county convep.
tion next week. He has served one
term in the legislature and made an
enviable record for economy, and
points with pride to the fact of saving
large sums of money to the state by
his votes. Mr.. Juliar is successful
farmer, has sound Judgment, and
there is a great need of conservative
men like him in the legislature. If
renominated he has elements of
strength that will make his election
sure.
Mr.. Juliar says that owing to the
pressing duties of farm work he has
been unable to make a tour of the
county, and owing to the near ap-
proach of the date of the primaries he
will not have time to call on all his
friends. He is, however, willing to
leave his case in their hands.

MINNEoTA, Mimi, Aug. 1S.-Carl
Ranberg, an 1S-year-old boy of this
place, was shot and almost instantly
killed here by stranger who calls him
self Walter H. Glass of Nebraska City,
Neb. The weapon used was shotgun
of large bore. Two other lads, Mike
Bunce and D. E. Gaeger, who, among
others, were with young Ranberg at the
time, were also wounded by some stray
shots, but not seriously Glass gave
himself up to the authorities, and was
forthwith taken to Marshall and lodged
in the county Jail. He claims that he
was provoked to this rash act by indie
cent and insulting language used by
some of the boys in the hearing of the
prisoner and his wife.

Is A CANDIDATE.

In the absence of any definite an
nouncement, some doubt has been
felt as to whether County Treasurer
Lloyd would be a candidate for re-
nomination this fall. After looking
the field over carefully, Mr.. Lloyd has
decided to enter the race once more,
and his name will come before the
Republican convention next week. He
states that he has received numerous
requests to become candidate and has
promises of strong support from all
parts of the county.

COMPROMISE REJECTED.

New Inspection Laws Will Go Into Effect
Sept. at Superior.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 18.-The
Minnesota warehouse and railroad COM
mission having positively refused to
accept the compromise of the Superior
board of trade it is now definitely set
tied that the independent system of
grain inspection under the Wisconsin
law will go into effect here Sept. /.
The mills and elevators are gradually
arriving at the conclusion that they can
do business under the new inspection,
and assurances are given that co-opera-
ton will be forthcoming. The one OBJ
ject in view is to build up grain mar
ket rivaling in all respects that of Du-
luth. James j. Hill Of the Great
Northern has agreed to stay by the
Superior board.
