The Globe somewhat tardily discovered
that Senator Davis is still a presidential
possibility, in spite of his request that
his name be not presented before the re-
cent state convention. There can be no
doubt, as was clearly pointed out in
these columns last Wednesday, that, if
Mckinley fails to win, Davis will fall
heir to much of his strength and will i'm
mediatly become an important factor.
In such contingency. the defeat of Nc
Kinley being certain, Senator Davis
manly action of Tuesday will stand him
in good stead. It is altogether likely
that Mckinley will be chosen, but it IS
not quite certain that the Mckinley men
will not name the winner-and who are
they more likelv to choose than Senator
Davis?-Minneapolis Journal.

Army Encampment to be hello here next
summer has been abroad among our
citizens during the past week. and al
ready has pledges of over $6O0-about
two-thirds of the amount required to
make the encampmenta a success. Sauk
Centre has earned the reputation of be-
ing not only liberal on public occasions
of this character, but OF being conspicu,
ously hospitable. When the encampment
shall be held there is no doubt OF her
maintaining her reputation, and the old
bows in blue will have another such a
time as they have not had since the en-
.campment met here before.

1t has been reported that owing to
ill-health, Remenyi might be compelled
to cancel his Saak Centre engagement,
which is booked for April Goth, under

He is getting to be an old man, and this
is his last professional tour, and, there
fore, the last chance people will have of
hearing the violinest of the day."

for Fergus Falls to attend the term of

cases will come before the court which
are of interest to st. Cloud people. The
trst is the case of S. M. Cook, brother
iu-law of Coleman Bridgman, against
Mp. Clarke and J. 6. Marks, and the
seconds Cook against Kells, as assignee
of Mp. Clarke. Both cases are to set
aside real estate transfers, but the pro-

Considering the elegant democratic

public building extravaganza being a
little overworked? This suggestion is
not aimed at Brainerd specifically, but
has broad application. The govern

it would cost to pay for the care of a

Some Years ago man well known in

OF the prominent machine companies.
His duties required him to take chattel
mortgages to Secure farmers notes and
the first mortgage drafted by the gentle
man was not only unique but far reach
ing in it's operation. The description
was as follows: One red yearline steer,
two years old, and his increase. The
mortgage was afterward paid so it did
not become necessary to identify the

any search for his increase. ."-JSurnal-

That's always the way. St. Cloud is
everlastingly poking fun at the good
citizens of Sauk Centre. Lu Kells saws
that Chan never drew such mortgage.
What the document does say is "a year
ling bull. about two years old, and his
increase" Now there's some sense in
that. Lu says he knows all about the
mortgage for-he helped Chan draw it.
