Special to the Daily Progress
Jackson, Feb. 24.-The indications
are that the journalistic fraternity
Will be literally represented in the
sets Of officers chosen i'll the Missis-
sippI elections this year. Never be-
fore has so many newspaper men
offered for office, or entered the field
with better chances of success. The
latest entry is Hon. ]. T. Senter,
"the w. r. Hearst of Mississippi"
editor of the Columbus Commercial
and Vicksburg American, who is
candidate for railroad commissioner
from the northern district. He Is 3
former railroad man of twelve years
active experience in the work, and
will be strongly supported. Hon.
Walter Wood, of the Senatobia
Democrat, has just announced as u
candidate for member of the legisla-
ture from Tate county, and his pros
poets are considered quite bright.
Hon. F. NJ. Runnels is making a
strong race for secretary Of state,
Hon. $. ]. Owens, editor OF the Rip
ley Sentinel, wants to go to the state
senate. Hon. ]. l.. Seawright, edi-
tor of the Choctaw Plaindealer, has
offered as candidate for the lower
house from Choctaw. r. B. May
will probably make the race for rail-
road commissioner from the south
ern district, and Hon. P. E. WILL
Jams IS mentioned for the same
place. Editor Diers, of the Colum-
bus Dispatch, is legislative aspi-
rant, and at least half dozen others

FOR SUPERVISOR.

Capt. J. P. Pace, one of the most
substantial farmers of the county,
announces in today's Progress for
supervisor from this the second dis
trict. If everybody knew the gentle
man as we'll as the writer he would
60 in without a dissenting vote. He
was supervisor in Newton county fol
many years and made one of the best
the county ever had. Very likely he
will be elected without much or little
opposition.

Gresnville should have paved streets.
With lobloly of mud in the evening
and o freeze at nighs the streets are
almost impossible at all times of the
day. Vehicles are broken, horses
made to suffer while extra feed bills
are to be paid. We must have, before
another rainy season, few paved
streets.

LICENSE LAW ABETS
A PUBLIC NUISANCE
Legislation Needed TO Stop the Distn-
button of Circulars-No
Cure in Sight


Major Sylvester. ia answer TO a COM
plant made by ". c. Dodge. relative
to the nromiscuous distribution of adj
vertising bills, etc, in the streets of
Washington, has recommended to the
District Commissioners that it would be
well 10 obtain necessary legislation in
order that such distribution may be
stopped by law.
The Major says so 3ong as there is
q license law which authorizes persons
TO do a business of this kind. and The
Police Court holds the placing OF such
advertising matter within a premises is
legal. he can see no radical cure for the
existing state Of affairs. except through
the method suggested.
Mr.. Dodge complained that day after
day, the year around, our steps. pOrches,
areas. and vestibules. and office hall
ways are kept Uttered with circulars
for quack medicines and all sorts OF
things, and from there they are blown

At New Quarters.
ONE OF FINEST BANK BUILD.

Handsomely Appointed Interior
Brings Many Plattering
Compliments.
X -yessg =..sssf, y,
No.

The First National Bank of Be
midi opened for business in its
new block at the corner of Third
street and Minnesota avenue
this morning and without ques-
ton has one of the handsomest
and best appointed homes of any
banking institution in the state.
The building completed and
fitted up will cost in the neigh
borhood ofS14,0OO. The banking
rooms are on the first floor and
the second floor is devoted to
office rooms, soon to be occupied
by various Bemidji professional
men. The block is unquestion=
ably the handsomest in Bemidji
at present. It's constructed of
ST. Louis pressed brick with
brown stone trimmings and
makes very pretty effect viewed
from the exterior. The banking.
rooms are handsomely appointed
with the best furniture that
could be purchased. All the
furniture and fixtures are of
golden quarter-sawed oak. The.
floor is of tile and the base boards
are of granite. The bank is also
equipped with a fire and burglar
proof vault, which has safety de-
posite boxes for the convenience
of patrons.
The. First National is the city's
pioneer banking institution. It
was first started as a private
bank and in October 1901 was in
corporated as a national bank.
Liberal and conservative business
methods have done much for the
business in the meantime and it
is at present one of the most sub
stantial banking institutions in
this section. It's last statement
shows assets to the amount of
$262,599.08, with a reserve fund
'of IS per cent. The bank is re
ceiving many compliments on
it's new home.

grounds by a score Of Is to O
yesterday afternoon. The team
made a much better showing
than in its first game, however,
and is steadily coming to the
front. Grand Rapids made two
touchdowns in the first eight
minutes play around the Bemid-
il ends and while the home team
had the ball within five feet Of the
Grand Rapids goal line at one
time it was unable to score.
There was a large attendance
and the boys were very we'll
treated. The team is entitled to
considerable credit for the good
showing it made. The Grand
Rapids team has not been heated
during the present season.

Busy Dame Rumor.

Rumors of a suit for damages,
arrests Jor blackmail and rumors
which have been the talk Of the
town for some time past,are not
in evidence this morning for the
first time in several days. The
rumors were all the outcome of
arecent sensational episode in
the Malzahn block and while all
parties to the affair have been
prolific of threats they have been
short on action. AS the matter
now stands the whole affair will
probably be dropped.

Beats Battle of Santiago.

G. G. Woodward returned this
morning from Battle River, where
he went in company with George
McTaggart last Friday night to
hunt moose. Mr.. Woodward
says the woods are full ofhunters
and there is a constant bonn
harding which would make the
uninitiated think the battle of
Santiago was being fought over
again.

Crazed by Domestic Trouble,
Mrs. Clara SWens0n At
tempts Mothers Life.
UNFORTUNATE WOMAN HAS Al
LARGE FAMILY.
Case Is Pitiable One-Woman Will
Be Examined This
Afternoon.

Crazed by domestic trouble,
Mrs. Clara Swenson, who has
made her home in Bemidji with
her parents since early this sum
mer threatened to kill her father,
mother and brother, with the
result that she will be examined
as to her sanity this afternoon
and taken to the state hospital
at Fergus Falls.
The woman's case is a pitable
one. She has family of eight
children; the youngest eight
months old. Mrs. Swenson is
the wife Of a printer, who was
formerly in this city, but who
deserted her and the family in
Washington state where they
formerly resided some time ago.
After this Mrs. Swenson came
to this city to make her home
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. ID. Corey. She has twice be-
fore been an inmate of hospitals
for the insane, once at st. Peter
and once in Washington State.
About a month ago in a fit of
anger over some imaginary
grievance Mrs. Swenson at
tempted to kill her mother with
a hammer. Her condition has
steadily been growing worse for
some time and yesterday she
threatened to kill her parents
and her brother.
Mrs. Swenson will be exam
med in the probate court this
afternoon and will probably be
taken to Fergus Falls tonight.

Newspaper Plant ScOrched.

Fire this morning did consider
able damage to the newspaper
plant of the Wadena Tribune.
The blaze is supposed to have
started in some manner from
the torch attachment of a gaso-
line engine. The loss is fully
covered by insurance.
