Old Newspapers and an cad"

Everybody knew we had old news
papers at this Office didn't they?
OF course, and piles of them. Want
ed old papers frequently, didn't
they, and if anybody had asked them
if the printing Office had EN- they'd
said yes, wouldn't they? Why, Of
course. Well we burned up bushels
of old papers every day for nearly
three months, and not soul called
for any And then one day we put
a little ad in the Pioneer stating
that old papers could be obtained
here at the rate of 20 &c hts per 100,
and the next morning we found
boy waiting at the Office door for a
nickles worth, and the next day we
sold some more; and they've been
coming and the papers have been
going ever since. Now these people
knew all the time that a print shop
is the place to go for old papers, but
they just didn't think. See the
point. ''Prin tiers ink makes mil
lions think. Got anything you
would sell? If you have, we'll tell
twenty-five hundred possible buyers
about it, at SO much per tell.-Hazel-

During the meeting it developed
that the anticipated cut of Chequam-
egon Bay, Superior and Duluth this
present season would be about $780,
100000, provided the 100000, 600
now hung up in the streams were
brought down, and that the amount
sold at the beginning of the season,
to be sawed this season, was 345,-
0O0,00O From the fact that the
logs now in the rivers virtually re-
main in the rollways, while general
ly in other years large proportion
of them have been broken in, run
down and delivered on the water by
this time, from the snow and early
rains, it was thought impossible tor

The Eclipse.

The eclipse of the sun Monday
morning was plainly visible from
here, although the clouded condition
of the heavens rather prevented a
clear view. But few people, howey-
er, thought of there being an eclipse
and consequently but very few wit
messed it.

They Are Beginning to Buzz About
Many Ears.
CANDIDATES FOR THE OFFICES
AS Usual the Fight Will Likely Center
About the Sheriff's Office, With
Plenty of Interest Manifested
In the Other Positions.

The call for the State convent ior
to meet in Milwaukee, August 9Th,
has been issued, and appears in this
issue of The TIMES. A county con
vention will have to be called soon to
elect nine delegates to the state con-
vention. And this is a gentle re-
hinder that the contest for the con-
troll of the different political affairs
OF the county is about at hand. Can
didates as a general thing have not
very clearly defined their positions,
but it is likely that the "center OF
gravity will center about the sher-
iff-ship for which place it is said that
G. B. Simpson and John Mckay are
the principal candidates for the Re-
publican nomination. Other men
who are being urged to run and who
may possibly be in the field are w.
Fl. Smith, Gilbert Olsen, Nels Rams.
tead, Jared Welton and John And
erson, of this city, and HI. J. Conlin.
of Bayfield,.
L. n. Clausen is a candidate for
county treasurer, and it is said Lon
Wilkinson, of Bayfield, will also en-
ter the race.
John Froseth has no opposition
for county clerk, although it is init
mated that F. A. Bell, of Iron River,
would like the place.
George A. Calder has no opposi-
ton for another term as register of
deeds, and no one has appeared to
dispute Geo. F. McClintock title
as clerk of the court, although there
has been some desultory gossip as to
There has been little
interest in the matter and no one
has appeared in the field for district
attorney except E. G. Alvord, al
though it has been suggested that
A. R. Mead, of Iron River may be a
A. W. Mcleod will look for the
for state senator. and in
the event that he is successful Bay
field county could hardly expect to
have the assemblyman, which would
likely 90 to Sawyer or Washburn
county. Tt will be seen from the
above that this city has a candidate
for every Office in the county, except
for register Of deeds. A certain
crowd of politicians, it is said, will
make an effort to throw the sheriff
ship to one of the outside towns ia
order ito retain the treasuryship
here, as it is logically said that we
cannot expect TO retain both places.
However the Washburn candidates
for sheriff will hardly stand for the
proposition, and good sized politi-
cal scrap may be reasonably
looked for this fall.

NO QUORUM LAST NIGHT.
Selection Of Site For an Auditorium Post
- poned Until Oct 30th.

The called meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Auditorium Company was
held last night, Mr.. X. III. Battle pre-
siding. A committee composed of Mr..
w. n. Jones and Mr.. w. b. Grimes was
appointed to ascertain if a quorum
was present. AS only 243 shares were
represented, the chair ruled that there
was no quorum.
1t was decided to appoint a commit
tee to secure the attendance in person
and by proxy of quorum at meet
ing to be held on the 30th day of
October. Every subscriber is request
ed to be present in person, or if not
to send his proxy by some other stock
hoIder. The committee to secure proX-
les is composed of Messrs. Josephus
Daniels, c. NJ. Busbee, F. X Ellington,
j. &. Ball and Ed. Chambers Smith.
The treasurer was authorized to pro-
coed with the collection of the sub
scription. Mr.. Ed Chambers Smith
suggested that the subscribers would
pay more promptly il it was definitely
proposition was off. Mr. Busbee and
Judge Womack explained that the
original proposition was withdrawn,
would be glad to sell it if the Auditor
ium committee desired to purchase it,
Three of the Auditorium directors are
directors of the -rade Building Com
pany, and they declined to have any
hand in the matter, since it might be
charged that they were DESTROYS of
selling their property to the Auditor
ium.
At the meeting on October both, it
is certain that the Trade property and
other properties will be considered.
1t is of manifest Importance that every
stakeholder attend in person or give
his written proxy to a, stockholder.
Every stakeholder ought to decide
which of these propositions he favors:
1. Collecting the money and waiting
TO select site until over $1,000 is paid
in.
2. Buying the Trade Building. pay
ing for it $4,000 in bonds. and build
ing an Auditorium in the rear.
g. Buying the lot opposite Mr.. {. NJ.
Rusbee's residence. 1t is understood
that it can be bought without any
cash payment.
a. Buying some other eligible site.

Donnelly While we think this is better
than nothing, yet we fear the ultimate
results will prove hurtful to the party.
The time is too short for creditable fight.
1t can't hope to receive more than
fifth of the Populist vote in the State.
And whatever that vote may be, whether
1000 or 10000, it will be considered the
entire strength in the State, which will
do the party great injustice at home and
abroad.
Nov brethren, we have given you
beief imperfect outline of our condition
as party. What do you think of 1t?
Have we an organized party? If So
where is it? Can our officials tell? We
have tried to find out They will not
answer. Now we do not want to lead OF
to drive, and will not try. Neither do
We want to be led or driven to do what
we cannot defend and enter into with our
whole mind, strength and soul.
Viewing it from the moral standpoint,
we are forced to conclude that all the
politicians and rulers from the highest to
the lowest, are a gang of liars and
scoundrels, and servants of the devil. If
we view it from a political standpoint,
we must conclude that the Christians in
this country are, from the highest to
the lowest. a deluded set of hypocrites
and also servants of the devil.
so. brethren, we have decided that
perhaps the right thing for us to do
now, would be to touch not, handle
not, taste not the unclean thing, and
only vote for Populists, or shall we vote
Just as we please?''

that day they betrayed every principle
they advocated. The end that Click sees
was certain. 1.-THE wages of sin is death"

The staff correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, writing from Cleveland,
says:
"Niles, Ohio, is the birthplace of Presi-
dent William Mckinley. Four ago w. j.
Bryan received 81 votes in that town.
Today there is a Bryan club there with
a membership of nearly 500. This is ju-t
one passing indication Of what is trans
piring in a political way in the Buckeye
State. Don't imagine that Niles is the
only place. There are others. The Bryan
tour through Ohio is ended, but the re-
suits of that trip are still to be ascer-
tanned The tour has confirmed in the
minds of the State leaders the conviction
that w. j. Bryan will get the electoral
vote of the State to certainty and that
the Buckeye State is to swing into the
column of those which are for liberty,
light and reason, and the Declaration of
independence"
A special from Wilmington, Delaware,
