the people and taught them the

corn with the mortar and pestle,
and bake it into bread; how to
drain their capital of filth; how to
sift gold from sand how to build,
and sing and dance, and how to

OUR STOVE CONTEST.
Candidates and Their Friends Working
Hard to Win a Quaker Range.

Although there has been no great
change i'll the position of the candidates
the past few days, yet it is very evident
to all that it is Il very close and cXct-
ing contest by the great demand for
votes. 1t may be we'll to state at this
time that every one who pays on their
subscription to the Daily or Weekly
ECunbCc journal, whether in advance
or arrears, is entitled to twenty votes
for every dollar paid in. This will
offer an excellent opportunity for the
friends Of the candidates to assist them
to substantial gains.
1t is unnecessary for us to urge the
candidates to greater effort for we be-
lieve that every nerve is strained to- the
uttermGst and that each realizes the
Importance Of winning one of the valu-
able prizes which will be awarded to
the five successful ones.
We do not intend. however. that
those who have worked hard but fallen
short. shall be unrcWtried. therefor
those candidates who obtained over 1000
votes but not enough to win Il range.

| Mr.. Baker attempted to introduce us
evidence the offer Of the Water District
| for the property of the Water company
ANA the refusal Of the company to this
offer. This was objected to by Mr..
Heath on the ground that this matter
| was ended in the contest below, else
! the appraisers would not have been ap-
pointed by Justice Spear. This case
| Of necessity excludes" said Mr. Heath,
ANY opinion of the trustees as to the
value of the plant. 1t may be ;hat fair
and equitable value is less than tho
/ trustees thought. This is a process Of
| taking by eminent domain, and the
, earlier attempts Of the parties to agree
cannot be received by the commissioner
! or jury or court as evidence of value
1t is Il legal principle that that earlier
offer cannot now be considered: and
this legal principle is supported by the
fact that the trustees, last October. did
not knew the extent or value of the
physical plant Of the company The
trustees have never been given by the
company the necessary financial data
upon which to get an idea of the pres
"nt earning power and value of the
plant. We did not have access to the
books until two weeks ago. Our ac-
cOuntant is still working upon those
books. The offer was 4 plunge in the
dark by the trustees. The offer was
an attempted compromise and the
parties making it are protected. By
the common law principle. parties in
litigation are protected in any attempt
ut compromise. 1t would violate
every rule Of law and every elemental
ry principal If evidence to allow the
Introduction of suit evidence
MI Hakcr argued that he did not in
troucc the evidence as anything to bind
either party. but merely as part of
tho history Of the case. Mr.. Heath re-
piled that The court could not he greet
cr than tho law. ana that the aprraiS-
crS rs the representatives of the SUI
prcme court could not violate the in
structi"nS given them. He declared
that the appraisers have nothing to do
with the earlier history of the case.
The offer proves nothing. IT was
made by the trustees who were anxious
to avoid this expensive litigation. ana
who when they made it, had very i'm
perfect knowledge of Of the value of
the property. 1t was not Il minimum
offer. but a maximum offer. The sum
named i'll that offer is not yet in evil
dcncc. If such evidence should be adj
mittod It would annul the award"
The discussion occupied nearly an
hour drd thr appraisers promptly rul-
ed that the evidence was not to be ad-
mittcd.

yesterday he received Il letter from I,

the Identification of the birthplace OF Il
man born in 1119 in Il place given as
in Maine, but which, he found. after
long and careful search of several
good sized volumes to have been in
New Hampshire. Thus it is by his
wonderful knowledge of men, deeds and

the most difficult question in short

With the rush of the holidays out of
the way, merchants and business men
of the city are beginning to evince re-
neWed interest in municipal politics.
Although the city campaign is still
several months away, it is a topic
of frequent discussion and predictions
are made that when it does come off
it will prove extremely sultry.
Issues, it is said, there will be in
plenty. Economy will be one of the
battle cries and there are others
promised to stir the rank and file from
their apathy. The question of argu-
ments is not bothering the leaders. but
the candidate problem is perplexing.
They are searching religiously for a
Moses who will lead them and several
eligibles have been suggested.
There may be said to be dearth of
mayorality aspirants. DR.. c. Wesch-
cke is said to have stated that he will
not enter the race this spring and
should he insist upon retiring the
place at the head Of the ticket will be

TWO CANDIDATES.

Judge Collins and r. G. Dunn have
both announced themselves as candi-
dates for the nomination of governor
on the republican ticket. Each would
be better were the other not in the
feld. There is not a public man in
the state with a record freer from crit
icisim than that of Judge Collins. In
his st. Cloud home he is looked upon
rs man above the least suspicious
of catering to any faction or party
that has the slightest faint of dishon-
orable practice and those who know
him know that justice is at the founda-
ton of all his desires. He has been
often urged to be candidate for the
Office he now seeks and has entered the
race for the nomination in the face of
the strongest opposition any man has
had. Bob Dunn, whose honorable
record as state auditor is known to
almost every voter, is as fearless as
Roosevelt and the people know it; for
this reason those who oppose him will
find strong current to pull against,
The contest will narrow down to these
two men and only in case of close
contest will third man stand any
chance whatever.
