Inventories of property in the posses sion of the various companies of the fire department next claimed the attention of the Council the members of which lent their ears to long lists of articles. One of these items, some twenty-five pounds of stock powders, caused comment be- cause of its quantity.
 The last official communication of A. l.. Mcleod, the retiring Mayor, was made. The document was an exhaustive review of the past and present condition of the city, and touched upon each department of the government of Selma.
 In speaking of the police department, MT. Mcleod stated that it had been made as efficient as possible, and that crime had been diminished. He thought the ordinance regulating the liquor traffic sand the prevention of women entering saloons had helped in lessening disorder and disturbance.
 The communication contained import ant information in regard to the improve ment of the streets and the sewerage system About $11,000 had been spent in graveling the streets, and this expendi- ture, Mir. Mcleod said, had been wise.
 Theeire department had been improved. The apparatus of the department con- sists of hook and ladder truck, a hose wagon with fire extinguishers, a chemi- cal engine and two hose.reels. The pur-

 In speaking of the municipal ownersnip or light and water supply, MT. McLeou said that although the city held an op- ton on both water and light plants this option could not be used until Selma g financial condition had been so improved bonds possible. The lighting of the city is better. The Selma Water Company, too, has improved its service. and the old war between the corporation and the municipality had somewhat abated.
 The sanitary department of the city had been unusually efficient, and he paid a compliment to its officer, w. J. Smoke, Superintendent of Streets
 The following excerpt from Mayor Mc- Leod's address is, of unusual interest:
 '.The old bonded indebtedness of Selma now outstanding, amounts to $2S7 750. The sinking fund commissioners have in their hands and due from the tax collector, a sufficient sum to over balance any de- ficit that may result if the bond tax In the coming year is, reduced to five mills, and still pay the semi-annuaf in- terest and retire $15,00O of bonds at their present price. even assuming that there will be no increase in the property val uations. The Mayor and Council have set on foot plan to relieve Selma from the danger that now threatens her by reason of the rise in value of these bonds. and to decrease in some degree the burden of this taxation by refuHding the bonds and decreasing the amount re- quired to be retired annually. It is hop ed that something will be accomplished in this direction during the session of the present Legislature.

THEY FAVOR W. h. EUsTIs !
Minnesotans in Washington Would
Like to See the Minneapolis Man
Run for Governor-They Believe
/ that Judge Collins Will Resign from
!. the Supreme Bench shortly,
From the Journal Bureau Colorado Building,

Washington.
washington, Dec. 5.-The Minnesota
gubernatorial contest is attracting at
tention here, altho Minnesotans in
washington are somewhat slow to-
take sides. Their interest thus far is
that of the onlooker. They regard the
Collins candidacy as promising much
strength, if Collins will resign from
the bench, but they hardly expect to
see him resign. If he does not, they
think that this is the last time that
he will be heard Of SO far as the of
lice OF governor is concerned. To re-
peat his past performances would be
fatal. The report has come here that
the judge intends to leave the bench at
the close OF the October term of court,
in February, which will be ample time,
but if this Is his intention, folks here
wonder why he doesn't make that fact
known now, and so stop a lot of talk
which is doing his candidacy no good.
Rumor still hangs to the theory that
HeatWole wants to make an alliance
with Dunn, and that Dunn objects.
HeatWole is as strongly prOmerger, In
the popular belief, as Dunn, whatever
the real facts may be, and a combina-
ton between them to make Dunn gov
ernor would perhaps do Dunn a great
deal Of harm, if the sentiment against
the merger is as strong over the state
now as it was in the last campaign.
Talk in the state favorable to Will
liam Henry Eustis for governor finds
an echo here. Because of recent
events, it is believed by republicans
from the state in Washington that
Eustis would be a formidable factor in
the convention, and IF nominated
would be elected by a very large ma
jority. If there is any choice here be-
tween the several candidates, it seems
to turn towards Eustis.

Argument for Long Terms.

The argument in favor of long
tenure in the congressional and sena-
torial office is we'll understood in Min
nesota, and the state, Of late years,
has been to a considerable degree con-
trolled by it. This argument applies
as strongly in the case of Senator
Clapp as it has in that of any Of his
predecessors in either house, and his
friends in Washington feel very sure
that it would be a bad business move
for the Legislature to unseat him.
Whatever Senator Clapp has at the
close of his short term in the way of a
record in congress will be achieved in
spite Of his committee handicap. It
takes years for a member of either
house to move UP to a position of real
influence, and any one who might be
elected to succeed Mr.. Clapp would
carry that handicap for years, as he
has done.
Thus far it is said there are no seri-
GUS signs of a rival candidate from
Hennepin county. Washington be-
lieves Thomas Lowry was thinking last
spring Of being candidate, but that
he has since then reconsidered his
determination, and will not enter the
race. In the fourth district, Of course,
| there will be no rival, Mr.. Clapp him
self living in ST. Paul. The northern
and western part of the state, embrace
ing the sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth districts, is also supposed to be
friendly to him, and prepared to in
dorse him for&re-election.
If there is to be trouble, it is be-
lieved here that it will come from the
first and the third districts, or from
both. Representative Tawney's prom
inence in the house may make him a
senatorial possibility, and folks here
are figuring Mr.. Heatwole as a, sena-
torial candidate. Tawney is the less
likely Of the two to enter the contest.
That Heatwole intends at this time to
enter, and is laying his plans to that
end, is not doubted.
The friends of. Mr.. Clapp do not re-
gard Mr.. Heatwole as able to accom-
plish Clapp's defeat. In a fair con-
test between the two, they count upon
Clapp to win easily. With TaWney in
the race, a .three-cornered fight re-
sulting, it is thought here that Clapp
would still have decided advantage

from starvation; that is, they starve the
blood, they starve the nerves and the gen

There are men who have suffered
for years from some private trouble,
who realize that their disease and
weakness is running their chances in
business and society, making them
miserable in their home life; in some
cases even preventing them from
building up homes of their own to
which they may turn for solace and
rest In old age, who have never had
the courage to consult specialist and
employ the curative resources of med
ical science, which alone can help
them.
Perhaps You Are One of These Un-
fortunates.
Are you afflicted with nervous dis
eases, that deprive you of vitality and
make you a marked man among your
associates? Have you that insidious
disease Of the venous circulation
known as Varicocele? Do you suffer
from the dropsical maIady known as
Hydrocele? Have you urethraI trou-
bless in the form of Inflammation,
ETC.? Are your kidneys in healthy
condition, or do you have pains and
weakness of the back, and is there a
sediment In the urine, that may indi-
cate the presence of the terrible
Bright's disease? Do you have palpi-
tation and pains Of the heart? Wind
after eating? Foul breath? Stomach
circles under the eyes? Dependency
and Loss of Memory?
How about the blood? Is it tainted
with poison? Do you have pimples,
sores, itching, burning skin disease :?
Answer yourself these questions
candidly and honestly, and if you can
not truthful1y say that you are phys
ically and mentally all that a, man
should be, don't waste any more time,
| but have a private talk with DR.. Cole
and Council of Physicians.
| It will mark the turning point in
your life. You will always regard it
as the most important step you ever
| took, for 1t will mean restored vitali-
| ty, renewed ambition, physical and
mental regeneration.
DR.. Cole has no schemes to offer
you, no rainbow promises that so often
vanish into thin air, but he gives you

painstaking specialist of vast expert
| ence and unprecedented success that
your malady will receive personal at
| tention and the most thorough and

where.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Friends of
Senator Clapp in Washington are
watching the state horizon for some
sign, If no larger than mans hand,
that indicates trouble in the legisla-
ture for him next winter. Thus far
they profess to be we'll satisfied with
the results.
1t is a difficult matter for a new
senator, coming to fill the unexpi1Md
term of some one else, to do those
things which he would be glad to do.
To begin with, his committee assign
ments are always unfavorable. He
begins at the foot Of the list on each
committee where he has place, and
works his way up gradually as the
older members leave public life. In
the short years of an unexpfred term,
therefore, Mr.. Clapp could hardly ex-
pect to be given assignments in keep
ing with his ability and his desire to
secure results. During the next two
years he will move up several places
on claims, education and labor, Indian
affairs and interstate commerce, ara
by the beginning of the fifty-ninth
congress, In two years from now,
should he still be in the senate, his
assignments will begin to show a de-
cided improvement.
Senator Nelson carried this handi-
cap of unimportant committee posi-
tions for several years after he came
to washington, and it is only during
the past two or three years that he has
crawled up, by the operation of the
rule Of seniority, to the important
places which he now holds, and to a
place of real influence OIL tee -dQcS.
If Senator Clapp were to succeed him

A Startling Story

Told by one who was cured by DR. Berg's
South American Remedy. She had suf-
fered for years, and tried many doctors,
but to no avail. She came to the doctor
on crutches the first time she saw him,
but soon gave them UP afteI taking his
medicines.
In her own words, she says:
IT had given up all hope, and did not
believe the doctor when he said he could
help me, but as drowning person grasps
for straw, l tried his medicines, and to
my surprise and qualification began to
get better the first week 1 took them, and
after two weeks 1 had no more use for
my crutches, and will say the doctor
done this for me. and I am sure he can
do it for others.''-Mrs. Anna Larson,
Acton, MINI.
I am only referring to this case, being
one in thousands that / have cured, and
any one wishing to write her might do
SO and have her own word.
My South American Medicines can do
the same in your case. They are so hap
PLY blended that child can take them
and not think she Is taking medicine.
and they work so quick that the most
skeptical, after taking them, soon gives
up the idea that there is no remedy for
him. am willing to furnish these medi-
cines at a minimum price, SO the poor
as well as the moneyed people can have
the good fortune of obtaining these medi-
I c1neS. In nervous diseases, NlIuS
Dance epileptic fits, spinal trouble, they
are sure cure, and If you need them
| come to us and we will prove it. In most
cases of nervousness it can be traced to
| the stomach and digestive organs, and I
treat and remove the cause, hence my sue
| cess. My medicines act so promptly and
yet do not interfere with the digestive
! organs. so the most delicate stomach can
retain them. If you are ever so weak, do
not give UP hope, because there is rem
edy for you.
| In conclusion, I will say that the Lone
