Senator Ed Young, of Appleton, who is
contesting the Seventh district congress
sional nomination with Speaker Bowling
and Congressman Frank M. Eddy was
at the capitol yesterday. Senator Young
was feeling in the best of spirits, and eX-
pressed the greatest confidence in his sue
cess in the three-cornered fight. '.Of
course ] shall win he said '"What's the
use of going into d fight to get beat
I expect hard fight, but have no doubt
whatever that / shall win out with
comfortable majority. I think l know the
sentiment Of the district fairly WELL hav-
ing canvassed it pretty thoroughly, and
! become more certain of success every
day. Things are going my way and
am entirely satisfied with the situation"
While Mr.. Young would not express an
opinion as TO whether or not Eddy would
be in the fight, it was noticeable that the
officials with whom he talked expressed
the opinion that Eddy would pull ont of
the fight before the primaries.
State house talk still continues to cen
ter mostly about the situation in the
Eighth district and Senator McCarthy's
intentions. The story is gaining credence
that Senator Mccarthy has been left
OUT by the so-called "Wincutts wing
of the Eighth district Republicans who
have been the political support of Con-
gresham Norris. A good many people be-
lieVe that he has been selected by thaI
crowd to run for Morris place. A wen
informed Duluth political prophet says:

has hit upon Senator Mccarthy.
''One reason that is offered for this be-
lief is that when Senator Mccarthy came
to Duluth Tuesday evening he was not
ready to admit that he was a candidate.
During the night, and after consulting
certain people, he came out yesterday
morning in an interview which was pub
lished in the Herald last night, and an
nounced his candidacy.
Later in the evening, however he
hedged trif1e, and said that his candi-
dacy was based on the contingency that
there was no Duluth candidate. He said
that he felt that with no direct Duluth
candidate in the field he stood as good
show as another outside candidate, but
that in the event that o. d. Kinney or
some other strong Duluth candidate were
brought out he would not be a candi-
dalte himself.

DESERTED WIFE GETS DIVORCE
Claims Her Husband Was Also u
Deserter From the Navy.


'IIe did not bring home enough money
to pay the bills and when I asked him
why it was, he always had the excuse
that his employer did not pay him his
wages
This was the statement made by Mrs.
Edith Gilkison on the witness stand in
Judge Jaggard's court yesterday in her
suit for divorce from Albert H. Gilki-
son to whom she was married at St. Paul
on May %, 1900. According to the story
told by Mrs. Gilkson, she had always
been a faithful wife and at times when
he did not bring home enough money she
would go out and work to help along.
This state of affairs continued until Jan.
rs, 1901 when Gilkison, who was at that
time working for the National Laundry
company, suddenly left for parts unknown
and since that time she had waited in
vain for his return. Not only had he de-
serted her, but she claimed that he was
also a deserter from the United States
navy.

mony ordered findings for the plaintiff.

STATE HAS BEN
 A POOR FARMER
Old Penitentiary Farm on TaI-
 lapoosa River is for Rent
THE PLACE IS HISTORICAL
Col. Tom Williams Once Operated It as a Farm and on a Contract With the State Lost Money
 and the Farm, Too.

Montgomery, December 4.-(Specal.)- The state will go out of the convict farm ing business and it's big farm on the Talapoosa river near this city is for rent.
 The farm has had a history. Away back in Houstons or O'Nears time the farm belonged to Colonel Tom Williams of wetumpka What to do with the con victs who were just then on the increase, was problem, and the state made con- tract with Colonel Williams under which he had so many convlcts for term of years for nothing but at the end of the term the farm was to become the prop erty of the state as pay for the labor of the convicts. Those were the days when cotton kept going down and Colonel Will Hams lost money on his farming opera tions and his farm in the bargain. Ever since then the farm has been a white elephant on the hands of he state, the story going that In some years a little money was made on it, although this Is more of a tradition than otherwise.
 Overflows have more than once destroy ed bright hopes of a crop and the great rises have often been the source of many heair breath adventures in saving the convicts from drowning. The usual fail- ure was scored this year on account of the drouth, and the state has conculded to let out and send the convicts to the lumber mills and turpentine orchards which are just now paying as high as S1O and $11 per month.
