THIRD COMMISSIONER DISTRICT.

The Third commissioner distirct-a
district that is over loaded with good
men who are willing to sacrifice per-
sonal interest for public good pro
mise to put up vigorous fight on
county commissioner in the approach
ing election. This is not new, neither
is it novel. 1t has been so for many
years. But the fact that Daniel Wi l.
liams, of South Bend, is candidate
is new, and this fact makes the contest
oil the more interesting. Mr. Will
liams is hustler, his friends are in
earnest, and they feel that South Bend
ought, this year, to be recognized in
the selection of a commissioner. No
mistake will be made if Dan is chosen.

was out last evening and looked over
an alley where a difference of opinion
has arisen One of the aldermen after
standing more abusive talk than he
could have reasonably been expected to
from one of the interested parties, got

TO REWARD MERIT.
Contest Over County Attorney
ship Warming Up.
Some Sug gestions Presented Why the
Present Incumbent Should Sue.
coed Himself.

1t is conceded by all, irrespective of
party, that the present county attor-
ney, Thomas Hughes, has made one of
the most efficient and successful county
attorneys in the history of the county.
No county attorney ever performed
the duties of that office more faith
fully or successfully.
His policy of making a careful in
vestigation of every case before issuing
warrant has saved many an inno-
cent person from the humiliation of
arrest, and saved the county thousands
of dollars; while his happy faculty of
settling family quarrels and neigh
borhood disputes, has been of still
reater value, to would-be Htigants
But when convinced that prosecu-
tt on is necessary for the sake of de-
ce ncy and order, he pushes the prose
cution with remarkable vigor and sue
cess. Among the fifty-six cases dis
osed of last year, fifty were convic-
tt ons, five were dismissed by Mr.
Hughes on payment of costs, and the
only acquittal was in case brought
against his advice
Though always an energetic prose-
cutor of the guilty and for that reason
a terri or to evil doors, Mr. Hughes is
but one of the kindest and most cour-
teous of men.
In all of the many and often diff
cult, cases presented to him no one has
ever charged him with partially, or
doubted his honesty of purpose.
The county has not been obliged to
hire any other attorney to assist Mr..
Hughes in the prosecution of cases no
matte how important.
In the past this county has retained
several of it's able and successful
ounty attorneys for many terms.
Mr.. Freeman was county attorney
for many terms, and Mr. Pau was
al so county attorney for several terms.
Mr.. Hughes has a host of friends in
every part of the county who think
that the county should retain his val
uab lie service another term, and especi-
ally at the present time when the
forces of crime are seeking every OPP
portunity to encroach upon the
or ounds of order and decency, and
when a weak or inexperienced prose-
cut ing officer would be especially I'M
fortunate.
If ability and faithfulness in the
performance of duty should be reward
ed, then Mr.. Hughes friends claim
that he has earned another term and
the best interest of the county and
society would be in hands known to
be capable and safe.
The Republican convention that
meets on the 30th of this month will
make no mistake if it dominates for
county attorney the present faithful
and efficient incumbent, Mr.. Thomas
Hughes.

LEMONS SCARCE.
Prices Advance With The Hot
Weather.
Flood of Peaches Coming Prom Michigan
Apple Crop is Good
Everywhere.

The hot weather, continuing for an
unprecedented spell, has had an ele-
waiting effect on the price of lemons.
The supply is beginning to run short
in some places, but Mankato dealers
have been able to supply their Gus
toners with them. Messinas are
selling at So case, and the California
variety is only a trifie cheaper. The
price has advanced a dollar a case in
the last two or three weeks. The
California crop has been very album
dant and this has served to keep the
price down.
Genuine Concord grapes are in the
market.
Oranges are now out of the market,
so far as the wholesalers are con-
cerned.
Late Crawford peaches and pears are
arriving in carload lots. The first car
load of peaches from Michigan will
arrive week after next, and Manager
luOlllotS VI UlC hdlhdUO 1u1U SOlu-
mission Co. states that people who
are thinking of putting up any of this
kind of fruit had better hold off their
orders until then. The peaches that
are now on the market are from the
east and are of an inferior variety.
Beginning week after next, there
will be peaches on the market for
everybody.
The plums now on the market are
the finest known for years and the
prices are the lowest ever quoted.
They are a California product.
The apple crop is reported as large
one all over. A Michigan man who
was in the city today said that the
crop there would be very good one.
The melon crop is another one that
is large. Muscatines are coming in,
a carload having been received this
noon and another one being expected
tomorrow. A few local melons are
also coming on the market.
The Mankato Fruit Commission Co.
has purchased the entire crop of
Wealthy apples of the Winnebago City
orchard that it bought two years ago.
This means 800 barrels of fine apples.
