To the Voters of the Second
Judicial District:

Having received many kind
assurances thatmy ambition would
be regarded with favor, I desire to
announce that I am a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
the Office of District Judge of the
Second Judicial District,
Owing to the character of the
Office, the recencyo of my knowledge
that Judge Morgan would be a
candidate for a state nomination,
and the extent of the district, q
personal canvass for the nomination
is out of the question, I must rely
upon this means of making my
wishes known generally to the
people of the district.
therefore urgently request all
who favor me for the high honor
sought, to use their influence in
securing delegates favorable to my
candidacy.
Very respectfully,
M. Fl. BRENNAN.

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that he
intends to devote almost his entire
fortune to charitable works has
aroused much discussion. This is
because it will accomplish much
good. It is q praiseworthy endea-
vor, but there are many other agen-
cies which accomplish just as
much good. Take Hostetters
Stomach Bitters for instance-the
the great American remedy. For
fifty years it has cured constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all the ills
which arise from weak digestion.
This medicine will keep the sto-
mach in good shape and the bowels
regular. It is a wonderful restora-
tive tonic and health builder. 1t
is also a preventive for malaria,
fever and ague. Ask for it, and
insist upon having it. See that a
private revenue stamp covers the
neck of the bottle.

Gentlemen: Judge Morgan is a

ing my friends hat 1 am q candi-
date for that honorable position,
with the understanding, however,
that if Judge Morgan is not nomin-
ated for the Supreme Court, I
desire to see him retained as Dis

In this way I am a candidate

PRODUCTS ADVANCE

FARM PRODUCTS
Next to the wage Garner, the
class most benefited by the revival
of prosperity under a Republican
administration are the farmers.
The general rise in prices in all
agricultural products has trans
formed their industry from de-
preston to thrift. Experts have
estimated that the products of
agriculture last year were worth q
billion and a half of dollars more
than any year during the Cleve-
land Wilson depression from 1892
to 1896. This is an average in
crease of 81 per cent. Live stock
in general has gained in value 38
per cent, and crops show an in
crease of Is per cent. The pro-
ducts of live stock, including
meats, dairy products, etc., have
increased 40 per cent over the
lowest point during the period
mentioned. Horses have increased
one-third, cattle about 40 per cent,

NEW CITY HALL.
The Council Meets Monday and De.
cides to Call a Special Election
to Vote on
Bonding the City in the Sum of
$1,000 for This Needed
improvement.

Improvement.
Monday nights council meeting
was one of the most important
held in recent years. It was de-
cided unanimously to call a special
election on June 9Th to vote on
the proposition to bond the city
in the sum of $1,000 for the pur-
pose of building a city hall. The
question of making this much
needed improvement has been
thoroughly discussed by the men,
bers of the council, and they have
arrived at the conclusion that the
building can be erected and not
only be made self-sustaining but a
paying investment for the city.
1t is proposed to buy three lots
25xl4O feet each and erect theron
a two story building 60x110 feet.
The first floor to be used by the
tiremen with their fire apparatus.
There will also be room for council
chambers, the city Justices Office
and in the rear the city Jail. The
second floor will be converted into
a modern opera house, with a
stage large enough to accommo-
date the largest troupe, while the
seating capacity Of the hall will be
over 1000. Besides entertain
ments it is intended to have the
hall accommodate conventions and
social gatherings. It is believed
the militia company can also use
this floor as an armory.
As a business proposition the
building of this hall is a good one.
If properly managed the use of
the opera house for entertainments
and dances will bring in a revenue
Of at least $1,000 a year. The
militia company is allowed by the
state $500 a year for armory rent
which will swell the above amount
to nearly $1,000. The bonds can
be foated for + per cent, and it
does not require an expert at
figuring to soon discover that the
revenue from the building will pay
this interest and leave a large sum
each year to apply on the princi-
pal until the debt is entirely wiped
out. When the bonds are re-
deemed in this manner the city
will have a revenue-earning
structure that will aid largely in
meeting current expenses and
eventually reducing taxation.
The council is now working in
harmony and much good is ex-
pected from their labors. By a
motion of Wineman seconded by
Cockburn, it was unanimously
decided upon to rescind the call
for a special election for aldermen
in the LIST and End wards, and al
low Aldermen Davenport and
Haslam to serve as holdovers.
The mayor appointed Alderman
ICockburn, Davenport and Wine
man as a committee to examine
sidewalks in the business portion
and make recommendations to the
council.
On motion by Cockburn,
seconded by Wineman, $1,000
were transferred from the sinking
fund to the general fund, the
object being to pay off outstand-
ing warrants.
The mayor appointed Aldermen
Cockburn, Hanson and Wineman
as a finance committee, and after
passing a batch of bills the council

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
The Republicans Of Ramsey
county met in convention in this
city last Saturday and among
otherthings done placedin nomina-

the ablest and most progressive
men in the district. The candi-

for their unblemished characters,
strict honesty and we'll known
ability and progressiveness.

state. His experience gained as a
representative in the last legisla-

to him in his new position. AS a

among his fellow MEMBERS, and he
unquestionably will exercise the

senate. AS a private citizen MI

county in 1884 and settled in
Bergen township where he has
since resided. He is one of
Ramsey county's most prosperous

acquaintance. It is conceded on
all hands that Mr.. Davis is one of
the best posted men in the state

edge will be of great benefit to
him as a legislator. For emil

an old-timer. The people of Crazy
and in the eastern portion of the

long business experience with him,
that Harry can do no wrong. He
