Some Other Cand date.
CHICAGO, March 3.-Ex- United States
Senator Manderson of Nebraska has
formally announced his candidacy for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton. In letter to L. D. Fow-er of
Omaha, he emphatically denies that his
candidacy is in the interest of another
candidate and says:
81 am not to be used as a stalking
horse or delivery wagon for any aspir-
ant. The gentlemen who are named
prominently for the place are all my
personal friends, and the chief among
them I have known intimately and
closely since youth. I honor and es-
TEEN them all, and will follow gladly
in the ranks under the captaincy of any
one of them. I demand fair play for
them. I expect it for myself. "

Condition of Trade.

A great revolution has been effected
this week in the conditions which con-
troll business. 1t could not be in any
fair degree reflected as yet in transac-
tons or in records, but there is ample
evidence already that crushing weight
has been lifted and rolled away, and
the business world has begun to adjust
itself to state of freedom and security
which it has not known for years.
Dread of immeasurable disaster no
longer locks up resources and paralyzes
enterprise, and new contracts inyolv-
ing many millions have become bind
ing since the election. The rush for
stocks on Wednesday lifted the average
for all railways $1.16 per share in a
single day and Trust stocks $1.54, and
in many of the most active the advance
was SO sudden that heavy sales for
realizing caused some reaction. The
wild advance of over cts in wheat on
Monday and Wednesday was also
followed by realizing and decline on
Thursday. But the instant vanishing
Of the premium on gold, which had
reached about 2 per cent, the unlock
ing of many millions which had been
boarded, the collapse of the interest
rate from and II to and 81 per cent,
and the quick demand for American Sc
curities on foreign account, are signs OF
more lasting promise. The lifting O.
the load of peril and Of fear, all me1
know, means an incalculable relief fol
all industry and trade.

Sp0Oner for Senator.

1t is generally agreed by Republi-
cans everywhere in the state that the
Hon. John G. Spooner, should succeed
VIM. F. Villas, in the q. S. Senate.
Republicans in Wood county are in ac-
cord with that sentiment and endorse
the following taken from the Milwaukee
Sentinel:
In considering the extraordinary Re
publican victory in Wisconsin last
week one cannot overlook the special
bearing that 1t has upon the election of
a United States senator by the incom-
ing legislature. Just as there never
was a campaign which resulted in the
election Of legislature in which one
party preponderated to such an ex-
tent, so there never was a legislature
SO unanimous III its choice for the
United States senate. The Republican
campaign in this state has in fact been
conducted to no inconsiderable degree
with reference to the candidacy of a
tried and trusted leader of the party
for the vacancy in the United States
senate that is created by tho expiration
Of Senator Nilas's term. Much of the
enthusiasm III the state campaign has
been due to the fact that Republicans
were interested in the return of popu-
lar and brilliant John Spooner to his
former position in the senate.
There has never been a more con-
spicuous recognition of the eminent fit
ness nor Of the special services emitting
a man to this high Office than in the
case of Mr.. SpoOner. It is evidently
considered that the man honors the
office as we'll as the Office honoring
the man. No man could ask for g
higher compliment than this. The
unanimous expression that has been
made throughout the campaign in favor
of Mr.. Spooner leaves no doubt of the
action that the legis lature will take
next January. In corroboratlon of
this opinion the dispatches received
from a considerable number of mem
bers of the legislature are printed in
this mornings Sentinel 1t appears
from these dispatches that a large
majority of the Legislature will vote for
Mr.. Spooner on the first ballot, while
those who have not made up their
minds will doubtless join the majority
There is no other candidate and there
should be no other candidate. Mr.
Spooner deserves the gratitude of the
Republican party for the unusual serv-
ices he has rendered on all occasions
for years past, besides which his record
as senator from Wisconsin from 1885 TO
1891 is so honorable and creditable to
the state that all other aspirants must
necessarily be past by at present.

frs. Rachel Gunn At Rest.

''Suferings there are from nature sprung,
Ear hath not heard, nor poets tongue
May venture TO declare;
But this as Holy Writ is sure,
The griefs she bids Us here endure
Can she herself repair!'
In the death Of Mrs. Rachel Gum a
hard working woman has found
eternal repose. She passed away
early Monday morning November 2nd
at the home of her daughter Mrs.
Jennie Ferguson. She has been in de-
clining health for several years and
suffered with chronic trouble of the
heart. While very feeble she kept up
apd about the house most of the time
She was a devoted mother and q kind
Christian woman whom many had
learned to love.
Mrs. GUnn's maiden name was
Rachel Catherine Romans. She was
born in New York state on March IS,
1919, and was therefore in her seventy
eighth year. She came to Wisconsin
in 1859, residing in Milwaukee one year
and IN WaukesGa short time. She
was married to Hiram Hoadlr Gum at
Oconomowoc in 1852.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gum came to Grand
Rapids in the year 1855 and were
therefore among our earliest pioneers.
Mr.. Gum was taken illin January 1878
and on February 18th of the same year
he died.
Mrs. Gum joined the Babtist church
when she was but twelve years of age
and has since lead a consistent Chris
tan life. Mrs. Ferguson is her only
surviving child.
The funeral service was held at the
family residence Tuesday afternoon

FORTUNE - INVOLVED.
Claims Against the Bi-ate of
George HiIes.

The hearing of claims against the
estate Of George Hiles will come up at
this term Of Probate court. Claims ag-
gregatIng 1888, $50 have been fled by
the executors to 1921 $40 of claims,
leaving about S43 600 against which no
demur has been made. Objections to
three claims aggregating S237 600 were
filed yesterday. These claims were
made by James X. P. HiIes Of Dexter
vile, oldest son of George Hiles and
one Of the executors of the will. The
objection was filed by David S. Rose in
behalf Of the other executors. The
ground for the objection to these three
claims, according to the papers filed, is
that the claimant never had any in
terest in the two railroads his father
sold to the st. Paul company, that he
was never a partner in the store at
Dexterville and therefore not entitled
to profits he claimed, and that George
Hiles did not owe him any money on
open account at his death.
Objections have been filed to a
claim for $3,312.31 made by Samuel
HIles, a brother of deceased, and to
one of SOL ,311.75 made by James W.
Hiles, nephew. A Claim that has not
been controyerted as yet is one for
$4,000 made by the International
Land company, and one for $130.OS by
Daniel I. Coates. A contingent claim
of $4,000 has been filed against the
estate by James f. Gates. This amount
was involved in a Florida land deal in
which Gates and Hiles were Interested.
Gates was involved in litigation over
the land. The case is pending in the
United States Circuit court-Sentinel
