Mr.. Peter J. Borgstrom has
many friends in Duluth who are
anxious to see him reelected,
and they are sparing no efforts
to win him votes.
His first official position was
as recorder Of the village OF West
Duluth to which office he was
elected in thespring of1892, and
so satisfactorily did he perform
the duties of this office that he
was reelected in 1898. He con-

West Duluth became a part of
Duluth. For some time after the
annexation he was employed in
the city comptroller's office in
connection with the task of alb
sorbing the existence of the vii
1age into that ofthe city.
In 1894 Mr.. Borgstrom re-
ceived the nomination of the re-
publican party for register of
deeds, and in the fall he was
elected by majority of nearly
1900 votes over the two con-
testing candidates. The total
vote cast for register of deeds
was 1902, of which Mr.. Borg
strom received the magnificent
total OF 7,O45. This summer the
republican county convention

Mr.. Borgstrom is a member of
the I. O. O. F., Modern Wood

and other fraternal organiza-
tons. His aged parents are now

ness OF one of the most promis-
ing of our county officials, Peter
J. Borgstrom, present register of
deeds and candidate for re-elec-
ton on the republican ticket,
and if the prophecies of his
friends are true he will be St.
Louis county's register Of deeds
for two years more.
Mr.. Borgstrom is a painstak-
ing official and has proved
himself qualified in every way to
ably fulfill the duties entrusted
to him by the people.
The details of the office work
are fine and they need careful,
considerable attention. TO con-
duct an office of this kind the
people should choose a man who
is not only careful and attentive
in detail, but who is faithful
enough to familarize himself
with the work, to secure a COM
petent force Of deputies and
clerks, and to see that the work
of the office is carried out on
systematic and business-1ike lines.
Many little improvements
have been introduced in the
workings of the office, until now
it has resolved itself into a sys-
tenn that cannot be surpassed.
Mr.. Borgstrom is a Scandina-
Wan by birth. Was born on a
farm near Ostersund, Sweden,
Jan. 10, 1864. He received his
education in the schools of that
country, coming to America and
the state of Minnesota at the
age of II.
Personally, Mr.. Borgstrom is
a very pleasing gentleman to
meet, courteous and obliging;
his services and his energies are
at the disposal of those who
have business at the office of
register of deeds, and never is
request for information upon his
untiring energies turned down.

THE UNIvERSITY'S ORGAN
The New Instrument Heard Last Night
for the First Time
An Excellent Program Of Organ, Violin and
Vocal Music Rendered-TechnicaI De-
tails Of the Acquisition

There was heard In the chapel Of the
University Of Southern California
last evening the new pipe Or
gan which was built for the
College of Music. A large audience fill
ed the chapel and listened to an excell-
ent program of organ, violin and vocal
music given by Mr.. w. F. Skeele, Or
ganist; e. H. Clark violinist, and Ger
trude Thomas, soprano. Mrs. Eva
Ellsworth and Mrs. Skeele did excellent
work at the piano as accompanies. The
solOists received numerous recalls, as
we'll as flowers, the accommodating re-
sponses to the former considerably
lengthening the program.
The new organ is a beautiful instru-
ment, occupying one corner of the chap
ell. The case is of curly redwood, sur
mounted by about thirty artistically
decorated pipes. The two manuals in
clude in great: Open diapason, dull
ciana, claribella and principal; swell:
violin diapason, salicional, stop diapa-
son, rohr flute and oboe. The couplers
include: Sw. to ct; sw. to ped; ct. to
ped; sw. to octave. The foot controls the
combination pedal, reducing and in
creasing the great organ, also the bal
ance crescendo and diminuendo pedal.
The quality of the organ pipes are
without eXaggeration beautiful; the
mellowness of the flutes, the sweetness
of the dulciana, the richness of the oboe
and the organ-1like quality of the diapa-
sons being most pleasing and surprising
excellent. considering the comparative
ly small size of the instrument. Power
is furnished by a quarter-horse power
electric motor. The action of the man
uals is electric. The organ Is a home
product having been built by Messrs.
Fletcher & Harris of this city. 1t is the
second instrument built by the firm and
is much finer and larger than their pre-

GREAT WALLACE SHOWS
VIII Exhibit at Agricultural Park Tomorrow
After nOon-0reetLY Improved

The Great Wallace shows which did
such a good business and left such a
splendid record in Los Angeles last fall
will be here again tomorrow. The high
license demanded by the city and the
refusal to grant Sunday license has
driven the show outside the city limits.
Accordingly it's opening performance
will be at Agricultural park tomorrow
afternoon at l o'clock. At the time of
opening Ralston, the famous high diver.
will make a dive from a hundred-foot
pole into net below. This, as well as
a number of other exhibitions, will be
free. The Wallace show comes more
highly recommended even than last
year. The press, everywhere it has eX-
hibited, speaks of it as greatly enlarged
and improved The performance is
said to be entirely different, and there
have been many additions to the me-
nagerie, besides several more carloads
of those fine horses, for which Col. b.
f. Wallace. the sole owner is famous.
The circus boasts of being the best
equipped one on the road. 1t is remem-
bered from last season as a particularly
high class attraction, and promises
much more this year.

FIRE DEPARTMENT KEPT BUSY
Three Alarms In One Morning Keep the Fire.
men on the Jump

Yesterday was a day of fires, but
luckily the damage was not excessive in
any one instance, although the sum
total will foot up respectable figure.
At 4:3O in the morning the department
was called out by an alarm from box
19 for blaze at 1928 South Main street,
occupied by John McWilliams. 1t was a
two-story frame house, the upper floor
of which was gutted and the lower
drenched with water Damage to the
amount of $4,000 was done. Only three
days ago the department was called up
on to eXtinguish a blaze in closet at
the same place, which was done before
any material damage had been done.
At $3.50 gasoline stove in the resi-
dence of F. Maeder at $40 Wall street
exploded and set fire to the surround
ings. Before the flames were extin-
guished they had caused considerable
damage.
Again at II o'clock the engines re-
sponded to a call from box 49, This was
for fire in the house of ]. E. Wells at
952 Birch street. The origin of the blaze
is not known, but the flames had at
tained much headway before they were
discovered. Before they could be ex-
tinguished damage to the amount of
$1,000 had been done. The loss is covered
by insurance. Assistant Fire Chief Ed
Smith. while driving to the scene, had
his horse go down in heap, the result
of slip. This occurred at Fifth and
Spring streets. The shafts were broken,
but otherwise no damage was done.

he is NOT HERE
Detectives Say That biant,,er Did Not Come
To This City


To This City
In the evening papers it was yester-
day reported that J. e. Blanther, the
suspected murderer of Mrs. Langfeldt
in San Francisco, was supposed to be in
Los Angeles, having been recognized
last Sunday by a conductor on the train
coming down. This is denied at police
headquarters, and they say that the
man is not and has not been here. Tele-
grams were received last Sunday and
the train. searched, but Blanther was
not to be found. The conductor was seen
and was compelled to admit that the
man he had suspected was not the
right party, although like Blanther in
some particulars. Asked if any clew
had been obtained as to the mans
whereabouts, a reply was made that so
far as the detectives have been able to
discover Blanther never came this way
at all.
Charles Grosman of this city claims to
have satisfied himself that Blanther is
no other than former partner of his in
Chicago, who swindled him and an as
sociate out of $4,000 The trio engaged
in a scheme to manufacture relief map
for schools. Blanther claimed to own
a patent process on these, but it WA.
later discovered that he had sold the
right to another company. When he
was exposed Blanther fled to Canada
Grosman is positive that his defaulting
partner and the suspect are one and
the same. as the pictures and descrip-
tions tally, and especially from the fact
that Blanther was formerly in Siam
and the East Indies and spoke Persian
and Arabic, all of which exactly cor
responds to what he knows of the capa-
bilities of his former partner.

Adolfo Verdugo was yesterday exam

sum of $1,000. Verdugo foHmerly lived
with the woman, who hnaliy tlred OF

verdugo, and he determined upon re
venge. On ascertaining where the wom-
an was living. he approached her and
attempted to induce her to resume her
relations with him, This she refused
to do, and Verdugo, with a companion
named Louis Romo, waylaid the girl
when she was on her way to her room
and the former slashed her across the
face with knife. cutting her cheek and
inflicting a wound which will disfigure
her for life. There was nothing in the
testimony to show that Romo knew
ANYTHING about the murderous assault
that was contemplated, and he was dis
charged.
