DEBT IN THE WAY
The Problem of Establishing a Dea-
coness' Institute.

The Problem of Establishing a Dea-
coness' Institute.
1t is expected that the proposition to es-
tablish a deaconess institute under the
auspices of the Augustana Swedish Lu-
theran church will be opposed at the COM
ing Minnesota conference, which will be
held at Red Wing next month, beginning
Feb. 18. It has been suggested that
Bethesda hospital in St. Paul would form
valuable nucleus for the deaconess'
work. The Minnesota conference has al
most committed itself to the support Of
the hospital, and, at least, has gone SO
far as to contract for some real estate
adjoining the hospital property at price
of $4,000. The management of the hos
pital has. however, succeeded in accumu-
lating debt of 100000, which it evidently
expects the conference to liquidate, as 1t
has sent circulars to every clergyman and
congregation in the conference urging
them to commit themselves to the estab-
lishment of deaconess institute. There
will be strong opposition to shouldering
what is considered an excessively large
debt on an institution of that character.

KING FOR SHERIFF
The Detectives Friends Want Him
to Enter the Race.


Detective N. w. King was informally
entered in the race for the republican
nomination for sheriff at a meeting of
some thirty or forty of his friends at
his home last evening.
Attorney W. W. Erwin made the bring
ing out speech and extolled King highly
for his ability as detective. The friends
all applauded vociferously, declared to
man that King was just the man for the
place and resolved to feel the public pulse
perslstently during the next few weeks
to learn what the chances were for their
favorite. s.s- .-.f f---- ,..-.... .-
The fact that King has habitually
trained with the democratic party all his
life and that Erwin, who made the nomi-
Mating speech, has ever been one of the
staunchest democrats in the state, ap-
pears not to have impressed the assem-
bled friends as giving any humor to the
situation. In conclusion Captain King
made little speech placing himself in
the hands of his friends.

ELEVATORS TO GO UP
Outlook Is for More Elevators Than
Last YeaA.

- :
The year 1902 will be the best ever
known in elevator building, if present in
dications are borne out Firms that
make a specially of elevator construction
report inquiries much more frequent than
at this time last year. For the north.
west in general the outlook is for a con-
siderable increase almost entirely made
up of new work, with some remodeling
and enlargiug.
W. R. Sinks, Of the Barnett & Record
company, says that while little early
yet, it is safe to say there will be much
business in the elevator construction line
this summer. Last year." said Mr..
Sinks, ..our firm erected storage capacity
for 100000 bushels locally and in terri
tory nearby. Of this about 2,5o0,O00 was
wood construction, the wood going into
small country houses principally. Locally
our firm put up houses OF about 100000
bushels capacity. I believe the coming
season will see these figures passed. Sew
eral local firms have made inquiries look
ing towards additions and some new
houses are likely to be put up. But we
are not authorized to make these plans
public at this time. s
