Committee.
Mayor j. R. Mercer will have no OPP
position for reelection, so far as is
now known. He has served the city
faithfully and well in the capacity of
chief executive, and will doubtless be
accorded the customary endorsement
OF second term.
For aldermen Messrs. A. j. Baldwin,
Chas. Deubler and T. o. Whitchard
will stand for reelection. Their Sc
vices as councilmen have been emf
nently satisfactory to the citizens of
Dawson, and there is no indication
that either of the gentlemen will have
opposition.
Treasurer W. A. Baldwin will like
wise go IN again without opposition, so
far as appearances at present point.
In fact, city politics are unusually
quiet, and the Forthcoming primary
seems destined to pass off quietly and
without interest.

What Holds the Novel.

Frank Norris, author Of "The Octo1
pus" and The Pit" was a most virile
writer and a man of decided opinions.
He was wont to say of the great fac
tors in molding public opinion that
''the pulpit speaks but once a week,
the press is read with lightning haste
and the morning news is waste paper
by noon; but the novel goes in the
home to stay"
This opinion was aired by Mr.. Norris
in the lobby of a hotel in a small town
in Illinois. Among those present was
a country editor, who was prompted to
remark that the novelist's views re-
minded him Of his dog Wolf. Wolf per-
sisted in running away from home, kill
ing chickens and annoying children in
the community. At last a method was
adopted by which the dog was con-
fined to his own homestead.
Chained him, eh?" was the thought
voiced by several Of the company.

If your modern novel goes into the
home to stay let Wolf remind you that
it's on account of the binding"
