PREDICTS A LANDSLIDE
L. A. ROSING SAYS JOTINsoN's
ELECTION BY $4,000 IS CONsER-
VATIVE ESTIMATE. -....... T.

L. A. Rosing of the democratic execu-
tive committee, who is a shrewd and
careful political organizer, and conser-
vative in his estimates, said today: :
"The situation in this state at this
time is unparalleled. 1t looks to me
certain that there will be a landslide
for John A. Johnson. Unless we have
been greatly deceived. in our reports,
Mr.. johnson g election is assured by u
larger majority than we dared to hope
a short time ago. My estimate Of 3d.
900 is conservative. -.......
HOur reports come from men who are
right on the ground, familiar with To-
cal conditions, or from mon who have
gone over the state extensively. They
have been asked to give us the exact
state Of things, and have no reason to
do otherwise. I have found their re-
ports reliable in the past, and if they
are anywhere near the. reals situation
we are face to face with an actual land
slide for John A. Johnson
Mi: johnson was. in, St. Paul this
morning, resting for his strenuous pro-
gram tonight. He came over to Min
neapolis this afternoon, and says he has
ness and feels equal to the remaining
work of the campaign. ..~ :.
Reports from the sixth district show
that johnson will carry it by large
majority. Even in the northern coun-
| ties, where Dunn is supposed to be
strong, there is a marked detection, and
local politicians predict th5' johnson
will run stronger in Crow Wi, Morri-
son, Wadena, Todd and Benton counties
to say nothing Of Stearns, than Lind
did in 1900. :

complished the receptacle must be filed
first with layer of sand several inches
deep, then layer of bits of sponge,
and on this to a level even with the
top Of the jar, plenty of small gravel
or pebbles. .,
When the receptacle has been so
filed, piece of wire screen is to be
fastened over the top, made secure

EVIDENCES OF CoLoNIzING De-

OF Nineteen Men Registered from One
Lodginghouse, Only Four Are Old
Residents and Eight Have Never
Been Heard Of There-Vo Votes Will Be
CHALLENGED.

There are strong evidences that vot-
ers have been colonized in certain pre-
cincts of the fourth and fifth wards.
The heavy registration in certain of
these precincts caused friends Of D., p.
Jones, republican candidate for mayor,
to become suspicious and do some in
yestigating on their own hook in Mr..
Jones. interests. The result of these
Investigations, which are still continu-
ing, are surprising. They show the reg
istration of a number of men from
cheap lodginghouses and low resorts
who are unknown at the addresses
given. ~.
The packing seems to have occurred
mainly in the first precinct of the fifth
ward, and the first and seventeenth pre-
cincts of the fourth ward.
| In the fifth ward district, investiga-
tions show nineteen men registered
from one clearinghouse on lower Wash
ington avenue. Of these nineteen men,
but four are old residents there, and
eight are not to be found at all and had
never been heard Of by the house pro
prietor. At another house on Second
street, out of five names registered as
residing there, but one could be &C
counted for. And SO it is at many other
registered not being found at the adj
dresses they gave.
| Conditions of like character are
discovered in the lodging places and re-
sorts in the vicinity of Bridge Square
and the old city hall.

have watchers at every one of the pre-

parts. Manuel and I started around the
sand dune one way and the two Texans
went the other way. We were to slip
UP on the camels and rope as many as
we could. This plan worked all right
as far as it went. p.
Emanuel and I crept around the big
that we got within few yards Of three
of the camels before we saw them or
they saw us. We were standing In a
neck of the sand dune. The surprise
was mutual, but I recovered from the
shock before the camels and let go my
coil of rope with my old-time speed and
accuracy. The loop settled far down
before the rope became fully stretched.
My cow pony settled back on his
launches. but, to my surprise, the camel
walked right off with him. Then fol-
lowed such race as I never before
witnessed. The camel didn It seem to
be running, but III be blamed if it
didn't carry my pony along at what
seemed to me to be the speed Of loco

dragging effects were too disagreeable
and he managed to get up, and the way
that camel made him run was marvel

dragged to death The rope was

the pony by cutting the rope. We rode
back to the ranch without any camels

SICK BENEFIT FUND
Students Gan Insure for Medical anc
Hospital Attention.

A plan for a sick benefit fund at the
university has been completed and at
the next meeting of the board of
the matter. The plan as outlined by
DR.. F. L. McVey includes an assess
ment Of 80 cents on all students which
shall be collected. together with the
registration fees. By the payment Of
this money each student in the uni
versity will be entitled to medical and
hospital services, but some provision
will undoubtedly be made to limit the
operation of the fund to students who
would be in absolute need Of financial
assistance in case of sickness.
