Despite the strong assurances from
members OF his official family that Mayor
Ames will be a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for mayor this fall. it
is now said that there is no such certainty
in the mind OF the mayor himself. He is
not well pleased with his move in with
drawing from the congressional race, and
before leaving for the south on his recent
recuperation trip is said to have declared
himself with rare emphasis on the folly OF
the act. And he is said to have declared
that if he had not then been in state of
physical helplessness it never would have
happened. Indeed, the opinion is held by

gang all along clamorous for him to
get out OF the congressional fight and be-
come candidate for re- election as mayor,

would never have consented to-
Now that he is in better health, the doc

other reason than to please his friends and
save the gang.
The gang themselves are desperate.
Alderman Powers will have none of them,
and they apparently have no one to turn
to but the mayor, and they are fearful
that he will fail them for lack of physical
strength to make another campaign. 1t

WONT HURT MONTANA
The States New Senator Thinks r..
RS Must, in Self-Defense,
Give Fair Rates.

Great Falls, Jan. 1S.-Paris Gibson,
United States senator from Montana, does
not believe that the railway merger will
be detrimental to this state. He says:
The railway companies doing business in
Montana are taking more lively interest
than ever before in the settlement Of the
state, and in the subject Of national aid to ir-
rigation, which is the real foundation for our
future prosperity.
For many years past the Great Northern
railway company has reduced its western
freight tariffs from time to time, clearly on
the theory that such reduction would tend to
the upbuilding of the country, and conse-
quently to increase its freight tonnage. 1t IS
simply absurd to contend that the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington
companies would use great efforts to establish
farm colonies and manufacturing interests
along their lines and then impose a rate on
grain and manufactured products that would
destroy cripple the farms and the mills.
We should not forget that it is for the in
terest Of these railways that Montana should
have more people. more farms, more produce
tive mines and more cattle and sheep than
it has ever had before.

a STRANDED STUDENT
Pillsbury Academy Boy Found Sell

ing Peanuts in Thenter.
A vendor of peanuts in local theater
was yesterday found to be Clyde Lake,
until Christmas a student in Pillsbury
academy. He had come to Minneapolis
to spend his vacation, had spent all his
money and was unable to get back to
Owatonna. The job at the theater pre-
scented itself at about the time the boy
got cut of funds and he went to work.
His failure TO return when the academy
reopened after the holiday vacation caused
much worry among his friends and men,
bers of the faculty, and the police Of the
twin cities were asked to search for him.
Detective Fairbairn saw the lad in the
theater and recognized him from the de-
scription. Yesterday member Of the
faculty arrived in Minneapolis and iden-
titled him. Young Lake was taken to the
central police station. 49,

Havre being so far away, the smother did
not think it advisable for him to make

So she sent him a check for a consider
able, sum; and with it some ma ternal ad-
vice. He cashed the former, and, forget
ting all about the latter, bought ticket
to Minneapolis, came to the city and spent
ALL of his money. Stranded here, he went
TO work. He will be returned to Havre.

The book that the purchaser. has paid
his 81 for proves to be nothing more nor
less than the good old Bible. Ordinarily,
the person who is attracted by an ''ad
for book that "every sport should have,
and in which there Is so much that is
suggestive of something too rare to be
shown in the book stores. is not a person
to whom a Bible would appeal. Instead
of doing the great good intended by the
holy word, the probability is that its
sight elicits stream of profanity. To
this the "sport' adds several other choice
explosives, dug up from the remotest re-
cessas of his vocabulary, when he opens
the book and sees, written under an un-
translatable cost mark, the characters
"29c." It is safe to say that more than
one of the good little books has bean
hurled angrily into the gutter or else
where by the true "spoht' who ''bit.'
BOX RI does quite business. There
is no such box at the postoftice, in fact
but the person who receives mail for that
address has made all necessary arrange
ments. 1t is an old, old game, grizzled
and moth-eaten, and scores Of people who
read the ''ad'' In the want columns smile
grimly as they recall their first expert
rence with the thing. 1t is safe to say
that very few games" Of this nature
have been worked SO long and so success
fully as this "story book" proposition, and
yet the renewal Of the game In Mime

BUSINESS OF SUPERIOR COURT.
First Days Session of Very Little
Interest.

The May term of Sumter superior

z. A. Littlejohn presiding. Indications
point to short term, as by early after
noon the court had disposed of all
cases not set for trial and recess,
therefore, was ordered until Thursday
morning.
AS usual, the first business was tAe
organization of the grand jury.

Judge LittlejOhn's charge, as usual,
was strong and pointed one, cover
ing the law and pointing out in par
ticular matters for investigation.
He dwelt particularly upon violations
of the local option laws, gaming etc.
and also took occasion to call attention
to the circulation of pictures posted
upon boards and fences and which, he
thought, when viewed by class of
ignorant negroes, might appeal to their
passions.
He instructed the grand jury upon
the Importance of enforcing the road
laws, and the examination of the books
