NO TRUTH IN REPORT OF DEAL BE
TWEEN MORRIS AND
ADAM
MORRIS AFTER REFLECTION
Should Judge Not Run, His Strength
Would Go to Someone Other
Than Bede-DuIuth's Com
ing Election.


DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE article IN
a ST. Paul paper on Monday, asserting
that ]. Adam Bede was candidate for
congress in this district, and that his
candidacy had the Endorsement of Judge
Morris and his friends, with the under
standing that Bede would further the
plan of dividing the state into two fed
erai districts, and that Norris would pre-
side in the northern end, was read with
surprise and amusement here.
1t can be asserted authoritatively that
Judge Morris will he a candidate for re-
election to congress, but if the proposed
second Minnesota judgeship is ready for
him he will probably take it. This con-
Ungency, however, would give Bede but
little satisfaction, as Morris strength
would go elsewhere-perhaps to Senator
Mccarthy, of Grand Rapids, or T. M.
Hugo, at present Duluth's mayor. Both
are warm friends of Judge Morris, and
the choice would be one of eXpedlency.
City politics have been in a quiescent
state since the nominations, but the cam
paign will open within a few days now
with the spellbinderS in the stellar roles.
In the meantime both the Hugo and
Truelsen organizers are quietly lining up
their respective forces. What the result
will be is generally conceded to be q
guess, and the best indication of this I'M
certainty is the fact that good many
bets have already been made without
odds from either side. The election takes
place Feb. 5.
An extra session of the legislature will
prove very unpopular in Duluth and
Northern Minnesota. Business men gem
orally hold to the view that legislative
sessions should be as far apart as posi-
Bile, because they tend to disturb condi-
tions. An extra session, however, is con-
demned unless some great emergency eH-
lists, and nothing has yet been presented
to Duluth business men and taxpayers
to indicate the existence of such an emer-
gency. In speaking of the proposition
yesterday, former Senator H. r. Spencer,
the well known attorney, said:
There is no occasion for calling the
legislature together in extra session this
winter The tax commissions report can
be taken up at the next regular session,
and by that time the people will have
had an opportunity to digest it, which
they will not have if the new act is hur-
ried through an extra session. Such a
session is a needless expenditure of mon
ey, and the prospective results do not
warrant it."
The Kelley Hardware company has in
creased its capital to $500 eco, and will
enlarge in the wholesale hardware bust
ness in addition to the retail B. Willis
How, Of Sank Center, has recently come
to the city and entered the firm, which
hereafter viii be known as the Kelley
How Hardware company.
The new Brooks-Scanlon mill at Sean
Ion, a few miles from West Duluth, will
resume operations tomorrow, and an I'M
usually heavy season is expected. The
mill is one of the largest in this section
and will give employment to about COZ
men, 1t is reported also that a thriving
town is beginning to grow up around the
site. Alre3dy about fifty houses have
been constructed, and a permanent vii
lage is assured The lumber in the vi
cinity is sufficient to run the mill con
dnuously for about ten or fifteen years.
Joseph A. Miller has instituted suit in
the district court against the Northern

loss of his arm last spring, while employ

will be tried at the present term of court
