Titled to every encouragement possible
In this. movement. The city will be
directly benefited by the immediate ad-

by the reputation it will acquire

made, that the room may be gotten in
order as soon as possible.

VIII Not RI an.

Fl. F. Meyer of Albany, who was
credited with the intention of making
an independent race for sheriff, was
in the city this morning and announced
that he would not be a candidate. He
said:
81 consider that the recent county
convention was not only large and
representative gathering of the Demo-
crazy of Stearns, but one that will be
noted for fairness with which it was
conducted. The fight for the nomina-
ton of sheriff was square one and [
am satisfied with the showing that I
made. AS a good Democrat 1 shall
abide by the decision of the majority
and the resolutions of the convention.
l shall not be an independent candi-
date but shall do in this campaign as
[ have done in the past and hope to in
the future-support the straight Demo
cratic ticket"
Naturally the friends of Fred Schil-
plin, the regular Democratic nominee,
are pleased at this announcement, as
they say that it will give him a clear
field. To a representive of the Jour-
nal-Press Mr.. Schilplin said:
both my friends and myself very
much appreciate the position taken by
Mr.. Meyer. told my friends before
the convention that in no event would
I be an Independent candidate and I
felt right along, despite reports to the
contrary, that Mr.. Meyer was too good
a Democrat not to take the same view.
You may also say for me that I wish
to bear testimony to the honorable
way in which Mr.. Meyer conducted
his campaign for the nomination.
The contest at no time Overstepped the
bounds of a friendly rivalry for a
party preferment. fact that Demo
Gratis everywhere familiar with the
= campaign will cooperate. st.

He begged of them to leave the watch as he
valued it highly for it's associations, but when
they found such small haul of cash they re-

"When you are sick, what you like

you the best advice that can be taken. y
When you have bad cold DR.. In

pleas ant and safe to take. DR.. Ex-
perience would recommend it because
it never fails to effect a speedy and

states that he and his party have made
a rich strike. They have their claims
staked out, but owing to the great

sink down to bedrock and ascertain
the true wealth of the mine. All indi-
cations, however, point to strike as
rich as the great Eldorado mine.

may be realized, and that he will re-
turn loaded down with the yellow
