Many Republicans Want los SEQ Some New
Candidate In the Field for Gover1or
Van Cant and Eustls Discussed by Local
{. Admirers--R andaii Men taking Notice
John Lind Sticks 70 His Opinion Of
Hearst.
New candidate talk is rife on the streets
OF Minneapolis. Many republicans have
been heard in the last day or. two to
express the opinion that tho situation lis
favorable for some new man, without
previous entanglements, to get into the
race Tor governor. The Collins men and
the Dunn men are standing pat. and from
present indications will fight 1t out, but
they have not lined UP all the workers,
or anything like a majority Of the repub-
lican voters, and 1t Is claimed that II the
strife between the leading candidates be-
comes more bitter there will be strong
movement in behalf OF some new man.
There is considerable sentiment in
favor OF renominating Governor Van SAINT
for another term, but the governor is
Just as antagonistic to the elements be-
hind Dunn as Judge Collins is, and his
name does not find any favor in that
quarter. Some who will not stand for
Van SAINT speak favorably Of Eustis, and
men who never had any use for the ex-
mayor before have expressed a willing
ness to get behind him this time.
These two names are the ones most
frequently heard in Minneapolis, but there
are some dark horses outside this city
who may yet be heard from. The friends
Of ID. w. Randall look on the situation
with satisfaction, and hope it may work
into a demand for such a man as the
popular fair secretary. The Frank Eddy
supporters are also extracting a good dea
Of comfort from the recent occurrences.
Congressman John Lind returned tc
Minneapolis yesterday afternoon, after
some days Of arduous labor on his farm
doing sort Of prolonged Arbor Day per.
formance. He did not display any par
ticular anxiety over his fences, and was
not disturbed over the reports of ven.
geance from the Hearst supporters. It is
not his intention to be especially active
in behalf Of any candidate for president.
II have stated my position" said Mr.
Lind, land I do not think it Is neces.
sary for me to say any more. I am not
in favor Of Mr.. Hearst's nomination.
am not tied to any candidate, tho up tt
the present time Judge Parker has seemed
to me the most acceptable man."
The Hearst workers have somewha
toned down their attitude toward the con
gresham. While they resent his oppo
sition to Hearst, they recognize that hi
has right to his own opinion, and a:
long as they do not find him fighting
them they will not make any further
threats. Charles B. Cheney.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
John Olson, of Pequaming, Com
mitted the Terrible Deed Mon
day MOrning-Mind Was
Undoubtedly Affected.

The people OF Pequaming and
L'Anse were greatly shocked Mon
day morning upon learning of the
death of John Olson, resident ol
Pequaming for the past twenty-six
years, and the sad facts connected
Herewith. Coroner C. Johnston, OF
L'Anse, was notified, and went to
Pequaming, where an inquest was
held.
According to the testimony given
at the inquest, it appears Mr..
Olson, who was IS years of age, had
been in poor health for some time,
and had lately appeared as if his
mind was somewhat affected.
Monday morning he arose about 2
O'Clock, and went down stairs. One
of his daughters heard him, and fol-
lowed him. He appeared as usual,
and asked her to go back and go to
bed. She did SO, but in short time
requested her mother to go down
stairs and see what he was doing.
Mrs. Olson complied, but was by. her
husband likewise requested to returd
to bed. About 3 clock Mrs. Olson
again went down stairs and found
her husband dead. The body was
lying just outside the kitchen door,
face downward, and a pocket knife
in his right hand. He had severed
the left jugular vein, and had ap-
parently been dead about two hours,
as the body was cold.
The coroner's jury viewed the re-
mains, and after listening TO the
testimony, including that given by
physician, who examined the body,
rendered verdict that the deceased
came to his death by severing the
left jugular vein, the act having been
committed by himself.
Mr. OlSon was oorn In sweden,
and his trade was that of carpen-
ter. He was highly respected by II
who knew him! and his tragic death
is deeply regretted. He leaves a
wife and seven grown-up children,
who have the sincere sympathy OF
the community in their sad affiic-
ton.
The funeral was held from the late
residence Wednesday afternoon, at
3:30 O'Clock, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. c. E. Odell, of

THE STATE LOSES BY LAW.
Will Not Share in $2O,OOO,OOO
Which Government Will Dis
tribute for Good Roads.

Hon. H S. Earle, of Detroit, head
Of the state good roads department,
and state highway commissioner,
in a recent address on the subject of
good roads, had this to say concern
ing the subject-matter:
81 am busy day and night pushing
my hobby-good roads. There are
5000 miles of highway in Michigan,
and 1,200 townships and township
commissioners to deal with. 1t is
big problem, but we are gaining
every year. l favor the township
plan and the direct cash tax. II the
quarter OF a mill tax is adopted by
townships, over 100000 can be
raised in the state to pay the tax.
But the state constitution says that
the state shall not engage in any
work of internal Improvement. This
is why Michigan will probably not
get any of the 500, ,O00, 900 the federal
government will probably distribute
during the next three years for good
roads. The state constitution ought
to be amended so that the state can
enter into the work of improving
the roads.
"In the United States there is
performed by convicts not less than
Is, 100000 days work a year. If
utilized in preparing road material,
it would crush and load on boat or
train 60, 900, 900 tons of stone, which
would build 10000 miles of nine
foot wide country road. Relieve the
honest man from dishonest competi-
tion, and it is dishonest to tax the
honest family-supporting laboring
man to run the state institutions
and then sell the labor of the con-
victs for half what it is worth. Put
them to preparing good roads mate
rial, and then every days work
creating the material will create a
demand for another days work to
apply it to the road, then the convict
will be working for the laborer in
stead of against him. ("

TO BOOM THE UPPER Pc
NINSULA.
Railroad and Land Companies
to Unite In Movement.

A concerted effort, backed by un-
limited capital and extensive rail-
road and industrial influence, is to
be made this year for tho agricul-
tural and commercial development
OF the upper peninsula of Michigan.
A meeting of a number of influential
men was held in Chicago last week
to perfect the plans and to form an
Upper Peninsula Publicity Bureau.
An idea of the extent of this move
ment may be gathered from the
mention of the interests concerned
in its carrying out. Among them
are ]. NJ. Longyear; the Upper Pc
ninsula Land Company, of Detroit
and Chicago; the 500 railroad; the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railroad; and the l. Stephenson Co.,
of Wells, OF which ]. NJ. Wells, of
Menominee, is manager, and Daniel
Wells is land commissioner.
The proposed publicity bureau will
send broadcast information regard
ing upper peninsula climate, crops,
lands, etc., and will assist in encour-
aging desirable immigration to the
north. 1t will promote Yand culti-
walton and invite and encourage in
dustrial development. Newspaper
publicity will be secured and pam
phlets will be circulated. The bu-
reau will ask, and undoubtedly will
receive, the support of every pro-
gressive man and institution of
northern Michigan.
No favoritism will be shown for
any special lands by the proposed
bureau. It's promoters will not
profit more than others, and con-
certed effort will be made to get
every northern business man inter-
ested in the general movement.
Each of the five members of the
bureau will contribute 500 per
month to the promotion work, so
that 5000 year will be available
from the very start. = Hancock

Contract for Steel for Electric
Road From Mine to L'Anse
Bay Soon to Be Made.

For a number of mouths people Of
this county have been awaiting with
great interest the exploratory work
being done on section 3, township
40, north of range 33 west, about
eight miles south of L'Anse. The
lease OF the entire section is now
owned by the Consolidated Besse-
mer Iron Company, OF Duluth, MINI.
There has been no splurge made
regarding the matter, but the work
has been steadily going on, under
the able direction of Superintendent
James D. Wade, who has from the
beginning OF the exploratory opera
tions had implicit faith that the ulti-
mate result would be crowned with
success. On July 23d last, the writer
paid visit to the property, and gave
an account of the work up to that
time, which was indeed more than
encouraging.
Thursday Mr.. Wade informed THE
SENTINEL that many new features
have developed, and success of the
mine is now practically assured.
Work in the tunnel has now reached
distance of over one hundred feet.
There is surface area on the hill of
35Ox55O feet of ore at present, and
is daily showing better. The test
pits are also being lowered, three OF
which are in high grade manganese
iron ore, which will run so per cent
and better in iron, and ,035 in phos.
The work has developed a sufficient
showing to satisfy the company, and
preparations are being made to begin
the building of an electric railroad
from the mine to L'Anse, where the
dock for shipping will be located.
Mr.. Wade states that John c. Nc
Kinley, president of the company,
will leave next week for Pittsburg,
Pa, to contract for the steel and
other supplies for the road.
B. Sheldon, of California, G. Daug-
las and r. Skiff Sheldon, of Hough-
ton, visited the mine Tuesday, and
it is learned were highly pleased
with the excellent showing.
