WILLIAM C.. SARGENT.

William G. Sargent, the nominee
of the republican party for sheriff,
is also the present sheriff of the
county.
Mr.. Sargent came to Duluth when
a young boy, in 1869, and ever since
leaving school in 1877 has been &C.
lively engaged in upbuilding the
commercial importance of St. Louis
county.
For years he was heavily interest
ed in lumber and real estate, having
been manager of the Lakeside Land
company for eight years, and four
hundred beautiful homes in the
suburbs of London and Lester Park,
miles of ma gnifiCent roadways and
acres Of splendid parks attest his
ability while he held that position.
Having lost all that he had gotten
together in previous years during
the panic of '93 and the years that
followed, in 1896 Mr.. Sargent turned
to politics. He has twice been NOM
mated and twice elected to the i'm
portant position of Sheriff, and now
aspires to a third term He is dis
tinctly man of the people. Every
| body knows him as "Billy Sargent"
dnd the record of his official life for
the past four years entities him to
the confidence of the people to a
marked degree, and this, without a
doubt, he possesses.

HADN'T HEARD OF 1T,

The Tower News copies a rip
roaring, hairsplitting editoria l
from the columns of Paddy's pro-
tege, in which it is alleged that the
range republicans are to organize
a club, the main object of which
will be to further county division,
and that after it's organization is
completed committee will be ap-
pointed to interview the republican
candidates for county office and
ascertain their positions relating
to county division, and a whole lot
more of like gush which is apt to
emanate from a scarcity OF brain
matter.
The Enterprise scribe has lived
on the Mesaba range for nearly
eight years, and believes that in his
capacity as a newspaper man his
nose has fairly good scent. But
we confess that we have heard
naught of such a move, and fur
thermore we stand to state that it
is untrue.
Virginia and Eveleth have or
gained non-partisan county divis-
ion clubs, and the fight for division
is being made by our citizens on a
non-partisn basis. Politics of any
and every hue are eliminated from
the meetings, and republicans and
democrats alike are working har-
1noniously to the desired end.
We do not know positively where
the county officers stand on the
division proposition; we have not
asked them; nor do we believe that
such question has been asked

THERE is an evident lack of una
nin1ity among the mining interests
on the division proposition, but the
great majority of the companies
are with the people. No open fight
against the proposition is being
made, SO far as known, and it is
probable that none such will be in
augurated, it appearing to be the
policy of those against the move to
gracefully submit to the wishes of
the ma iority.

Roosevelt's Political Coffin.

Already the henchmen of Hanna,
says the Kansas City Times, are begin
ming to make open sport of Roosevelt's
ambition to be the republican nominee
for president in 1904.
Platt has not only euchred him out Of
the prestige which second election as
governor of New York might give him,
but the republican leaders, who are am.
bilious for the presidency for them
selves or some one of their friends, are
laughing over the avidity with which
the successor of Colonel Wood to the
command of the rough riders swallowed
the vice presidential candidacy and
started on the road which leads to tho
waters of oblivion.
Their state of mind is mirrored in a
letter written by Senator Thurston to a
New York paper on the closing day Of
the PHILADELPHIA convention. He evil
IDENTIFY considers Roosevelt "dead
one," SO far as his future chances of
being chosen standard bearer for his
party are concerned.
A part Ct the senator's reason for
thinking SO is thus expressed: "While
Roosevelt sits in the vice presidents
chair, chained hand and foot by the
precedents of the place, unable to
speak or act, Foraker will be discussing
the great problems of our expansion,
and the development of our foreign
policy. name Foraker as first on the
list of presidential aspirants in 1904. He
has taken the place that Roosevelt held
up to the meeting of the convention"
This is one of many expressions by
republican leaders along the same line.
Of course, Roosevelt's election to the
vice presidency is extremely problemat-
ical, as is Foraker's assumption OF the
presidential mantle of his party four
years hence. But it is absolutely GER
tain, even in the contingency that
Hanna's slush fund shall prove suffi-
GENTLY potent to elect the present gov
ernor of New York, that as a future
presidential quantity he is as dead as a
door nail.

LEOPOLD.

Oats in this section has been badly
lodged. Some had to be cut with mowers
others with the scythe. A very poor
way when ground is rough.
Mrs. August Thele died of pneumonia
July 10Th.
Mrs. Wendell Seller, who went to st.
Louis to have an operation performed,
died within week of the same. Her
remains were brought back and in
TERED in the Catholic cemetery at Leo
pold the 18th. She was member OF the
Catholic church.
Two sons of Mrs. Adam Perkins came
to grief through runaway team. Going
from the barn down hill, through a
gate, the horses SHE'D at something and
run at full speed down into the creek,
shedding and scattering in all directions,
such trifles as; boys, wheels, wagon box,
sphnters, etc. One of the boys fell over
the side, the other b9tween the horses
where he hung to the harness, with one
of the horses kicking furously at him,
not striking him however. We are glad
to learn that, while their bruises are large
and painful, they are not serious.
The following day Mr.. John Luke
driving through the creek at Perkins
ford, listening to the entreaties OF his
folks, to turn back and explaining to them
that there was no danger, allowed the
team to get the line fastened under the
tongue. The team walked into the very
place he had wanted to avoid, among
poles and logs and in mud three feet
deep. After the wheels had fallen over
the log into the mire, the horses fell
down. There was no other way but to
unhitch. After several futile attempts
to pull the wagon out backw rds, some
neighbors came to the rescue. With the
help of fence rails, log chains and sheer
force, the wagon was raised bodily before
the horses could move it.
