TEN MILLION
Hard to Find Names For, So They

cal Order.

SIN a long experience in the treas
ury department | have come across a
very large number of names, many of
which are rather peculiar" explained
an old official, reports the Washington
Star, 'but l think the list of names in
connection with the subscription to
the three per cent. bonds surpasses
anything in the way of popularity that
Ihave ever observed. Of these the one
that struck me most was a man who
signed himself Ten Million and also re.
sides out in Oregon. We thought the
name was an imaginative II and
wrote the mar that ii was desiredfthat
the bonds should he registered in real
names only, and that 40 further atten,
tion would be paid to his subscription
until he was heard from. He replied
that his name.was Ten Million. His let.
ter was written on the printed letter
head of the firm of Million & Million,
two brothers.
"Then followed an explanation that
his father and mother were unable to
select names Tor lnclf cnIlufeH mai
were mutually satisfactory, and that
as q result, though they had ten chill
dren. noneo of them was ever christened
formally. The first child WAS Il girl
and She was known only as One Million
The second child, also Il girl, was
known as Two Million. Thus they ran
along until Ten Million was reached
and he was the writer of the letter, the
other member of the firm being a
brother whose only name, as far as the
family was concerned, was Seven Mil
lion the seventh child. He added
that One Million had afterward
called herself Una Million, that
the third girl was known after She had
grown up as Trio Million, The others
had taken on additions to their name'
and he had adopted the name of Tenis
Million, but his real name was Ten Mil
lion and nothing else. The bonds Were
issued to him, and to-day stand on the
books of the department registered il
the name of Ten Million"

MIR. EDDY IS OUT.

In an authorized interview given
to the Washington correspondents
OF the daily papers Of last Friday
and Saturday Hon. Frank M. Eddy,
representative in congress from the
Seventh congressional district, an
nounces that he will not be a candi-
date for denomination for congress.
He states that be made canvass Of
the district last fall and came to the
conclusion that while his chances
for denomination were perhaps as
good as those of any other candi-
date, he would secure the nomina-
tion only after hard struggle.
After his canvass he received what
he conceived to be very fattering
business proposition and concluded
that he would close his political ca
reer as the first and only Republi-
can representative in congress from
the old Seventh district and leave
the Republican voters OF the new
Seventh to select a younger, ADLER
and more vigorous representative
without embarrassing them by call
ing upon them to support him. Mr.
Eddy does not state what he will
do in the future, but in all probabil-
ity5he will enter into contract
with f. 81. Clergue, president OF the
Algona Central & Hudson Bay
Railway Co., by which he will find
permanent employment for that
company.
The retirement Of Mr.. Eddy from
the field leaves three candidates
for the position Of representative in
congress from the Seventh district.

MISS D0WNEY A wHRL WIND.

Have you heard Miss Downey,
who is conducting revival meetings
at the Methodist church this week?
She is a whirlwind.
Miss Downey is a forcible speak
er, who can easily move herself
from humor to tears, and in an in
slant. change her voice from the
strong and declaratory to the mild
and pleading. Her style of argu.
ment is likewise excellent, and her
statements orthodox.
On Sunday morning Miss Downey
spoke on who Is Responsible, Z
and in the evening on Miniature
Gods. : In the latter discourse she
contended that the human race was
in the image of God, and therefore
miniature gods Miss Downey
contended that if the individual
could live on for tens of millions oi
years he would have the memory oI
God.

MIR. JACOBSON FOR AUDITOR.

At a meeting of the Republicans
in~Benson last Wednesday, evening,
held for the purpose OF furthering
the candidacy Of Hon. EFT. Young
for Representative in congress from
this district, :HtBda Hon: ~ ~ Lyndon dor 4.
Smith stated that IF: jacobson
had authorized him to formally an
nounce his candidacy for sthe.tRe-
publican nomination for State audi
for, thus doing awayewith reports
heretofore circulated that Mr.. Jac-
OLSON would not be candidate for
that position.
The candidacy of Mr.. jacobson
introduces a new feature into the
contest for that Office, for the rea-
son that in the agricultural dis
tricts Mr.. Jacobson must be regard
ed as an unusually strong candi-
date. His long experience in the
Minnesota legislature, where he
has always been found on the side
of the people, and where he has
fought so many battles for them,
and won the greater portion OF
those contests, makes him a decid-
edly popular man and will make
him an unusually popular candidate
for that important office.
There probably need be very
little said on behalf of Mr.. Jacob
sons candidacy. His record is
sufficient. That record is before
the whole people. Wherever there
is to be found a people who love
truth, honesty and justice, there
will Mr.. Jacobson have admirers.
and THE GAZETTE calls upon the Re-
publicans of Redwood cornty to
unite with the remainder of the Re-
publicans of the Seventh congress
sional district and, in fact, all over
the State, in giving Mr.. Jacobson a
delegation that will give him the
Republican nomination for the Office.
Once nominated Mr.. Jacobson is
sure of an election Let the watch
word of those who1ove right and
justice be ''VanSant and jacobson
from this time forward. s33E

IT'S HISTORY.
Continued from Page 81

time both sides were eager for the test
of battle. On May IA the Shamokin
convention was held. 1t was the meet
ing OF the miners in the disaffected
section. Mitchell even then is said to
have been opposed to a general strike
but the men in the districts overruled
him. The next day, May 10, the vote
was taken. 1t was decided to order a
strike
| Out of 500 votes there was a ma
jority of only 112 in favor of the
strike, put once ordered, the whole
body, with Mitchell at their head,
began to fight with all their power.
For time the calling out of the BIZ
luminous miners was considered but
this was never accomplished. Mine
owners and coal road presidents met
In New York on May 20 and decided
to fight to finish. The rest of the
story is still clear in the minds of the
American public. Hardly newspaper
has been printed since that day that
has not had its column or two on the
strike situation. President Roosevelt
first public notice of the situation ap--
peared when he consulted Senator
Hanna and Labor Commissioner
| Wright. Mr. Wright was instructed by
the President to investigate the mat
ter and did so, his report being just
recently issued. He was refused ac--
cess to the operators books but gain
ed much information from which he
has advised the President in the sue
ceeding conferences.
How 1t Was Settled.
Four principal reasons are given for
the succumbing of the operators
First, the general depression on all
business, among manufacturers. insur'-
ance companies, large wholesale and
retail stores. These naturally brought
pressure to bear on Morgan and 9TH
er capitalists. Second, the capitalists
We're beginning to see plainly that it
would not be well for them to antag--
oni2e the administration much more
When the operators tainted the Presi-
dent with the fact that he did not
have the power or legal authority to
reach them he is said to have declar--
ed that it they intended to secure
themselves in such position he felt
sure that the very next congress would
see that he was given the power.
Third, the fear of public riots caused
by suffering from lack of fuel by poor
people. Fourth. the hardships wrought
among big manufacturing situations
and railroads by the rapid rise in the
price of soft coal
