EVERYBODY knows who knows anything

anything like perfection. says Everett u.
Whcelman. IN a Maine paper
"Stnl. while bicycle OF a certain kinu
was made many years ago, II has been
but fifteen years since the ordinary or
high wheel type came into general uso.
This kind Of wheel was too high for
general use. and TOO dangerous TO be-

safety, however. the sale OF bicycles be-
came enormous. and the further invcn'

COUNTY POLITICS.
What is Being Said and Done Among
ssthe Boys"

County politics have been unusually
quiet for some weeks past, but from
now on more interest will be taken.
D. L. Clements is the latest candi-
date to announce himself, and he will
seek the nomination as treasurer at
the hands of the Republican county
convention. He is old in party SER
vice and influential, and fully equip
ped to conduct the business of the
office. The other candidates for this
office are the present encumbent,
Peter Lloyd, who is an active candi.
date, j. A. Ewing, of Eagle Lake,
who is gaining Strength aaifs; BIS,
Evans, Of this city, an energetic
young man, and E. T. Evans, of judi
son, who would make a good looking
treasurer.
Hon. Nicholas Juliar has concluded
to be candidate for reelection as a
member Of the legislature, and his
experience and good record entities
him to consideration. Nels Nyquist,
Marcus Williamson and Alfred Davis
will make it warm for him in the con-
vention if they can. Hon. David E..
Cross, of Amboy, will undoubtedly be
a candidate.
Geo. W. Scherer may be opposed by
Mrs. Fl. G. Hotaling, of Mapleton, for
superintendent of schools,
Judge Mead, Auditor Gunders and
Sheriff Bowen have no opposing can
didates in view, although rumors say
that Officer Fred Grout would like
first-rate to occupy the new Jail.
With Oscar Bierhauer, j. A. HOWE
son, j. G. Fowler and Walter Nc
Broom in the field, the office of regis
ter of deeds is sure to fall into good
hands.
Whether County Attorney Benedict
will have opposition, or not, is still
uncertain, but he says he is losing no
sleep over the matter.
Coroner Paddock has no opposition
thus far, but Surveyor Haynes 'will
find Walter E. Brooks camped on his
trail

One of the largest gatherings
which Mankato has seen for sometime

Convention of the Mankato District

three hundred young people from the
