Among the well-known gentlemen
seeking the Republican nomination for
the legislature is Nicholas Juliar, who
served his people in the lower house sew
eral years ago, and made good record.
A former resident of Blue Earth county
has this to say of Mr.. Juliar:
Recently | learned that Mr.. N Juliar
of Mankato township is in the field
seeking the nomination for representa-
tive to the state legislature, and take
pleasure in saying a few words concern
ing him. | have been acquainted with
Mr.. Juliar since 1 was a boy and have
known him to be a man of good business
ability and judgment, a man of integri
ty, whom anyone could trust, and of
whom it can be truly said "he is the
poor mans friend" In this day of our
age when there is so much graft and cor
ruption being unearthed in so many
places of public trust it is very import
ant that these positions of trust and

men who have by their lives shown
themselves to be worthy of such trust,
and not in the hands of those who by
pull or political Vaccination may be
able to secure places of honor which
they in no way have merited. Not willy,
scheming politicians who work for them
selves, but honest, upright men of in
-tegrity, who believe in the state and
work for its good, should fill our legis-
slative halls. Such a man will be found
lin. the person of Mr.. Mic Juliar, and the
voters should go to the primaries, and
later to the polls and give him their
votes, knowing that the best good will
follow. Yours for good government,
Harry 1. Pettis."

official duties in manner that reflects
great credit upon himself. He has been
conscientious in his work. He has not
been an extravaganza official, always
having an eye for economy, and a due
regard for the burdens which must nee

E. R. KENNEDY.

One of the present officials who should
and doubtless will be reelected is E. R.
Kennedy, the ever faithful and consci-
.entious coroner. The duties of the Of
flee are important, and are such that
good judgment is needed above all 9TH
er things if unnecessary cost is not to
he incurred for its taxpayers. Mr.. Ken
nedy has held the office for several years
and it is safe to say that during this
time he could have held three times the
number of inquests that he has held if
he had wanted to and still have come
within the law. The tax payers would
:have had big bill to pay, if he had
done this and his fees would have been
doubled, but no particular good would
have resulted.
In another way Mr.. Kennedy has been
frugal with the peoples money. When
strangers have met sudden or violent

ty, in a manner pleasing to his constit-

Mr.. Gates has lived in Blue Earth
county since 1857, coming here when a
mere lad. He has always been found on
the Republican side in politics, and he
feels that his part of the county ought
to receive recognition in his nomination
for the Legislature. Mr. Gates has never
but once solicited the vote of the party.
At home he stands high among his fell
low men and neighbors, and they have
repeatedly elected him to the office of
school director and member of the town
board. 1t has been many years since
Mr.. Gates section of the county las
been recognized by the party, and his
many friends there are much interested
in his nomination. Like the majority of
the Republican voters of Blue Earth
county, Mr.. Gates is strong supporter
of United States Senator Moses E.
Clapp.

The term of office of the judge of the
district court for Blue Earth and Wat,
onwan counties expires December 3lst,
1905, and the general election next No
vember being the last before this term
of office expires, the position must be
filled this fall
Judge Lorin Cray, the present incum-
bent, although he has not yet done so,
viii no doubt file for a renomiIation.
There is no other candidate for This
office so far as is known.
Judge Cray was elected in November,
1898, and entered upon the duties of the
office January LIST, 1900.
From Biographies of Early Settlers"
published in 1898, we learn that Lorin
Cray was born in Clinton county, New
York, October 10Th, 1874. The family
removed in lS49 to Winnebago county,
Wisconsin, and thence in the summer of
1859 to Blue Earth county, Minnesota,
locating on farm in the town of Pleas
ant Mound. At seventeen years of age,
Lorin Cray enlisted in Company D, 9th

deaths in this county he has not given
an order to the undertakers at once to
bury them at county expense, but he
has had the remains held until he could
find relatives who were willing or able
to assume the burden and turned the re-
mains over to them, thus relieving the
county of unnecessary expense. He has
hunted up these relatives, even if it
took week. This is not part of the
duty of the coroner, but the county is
fortunate in having coroner who does
it.
The books of the office are open to in
spection at all times, and will verify
what has been said. 1t must not be
understood that inquests have not been
held when necessary, for the; have.
Mr.. Kennedy saw some exciting serv
ice during the civil war. He enlisted in
April, 1862, and was not mustered out
until June, 1865. He was with the Army
of the Potomac until after the battle of
Gettysburg, and then went with Hooker
and was in the battles of Lookout
Mountain and Missionary Ridge, and
participated in the relief of Burnsides at
Knoxville. Then he went on that men,
orable march to the sea with Sherman.
Mr.. Kennedy is man who does his
duty fearlessly and without favor, and
that he will be renominated and reflect
ed seems to be foregone conclusion.

the Sioux war and southern rebellion.
At the battle of Nashville, Tenn, De-
cember 18th, 1865, he was severely
wounded. In this engagement the Union
loss in killed and wounded was $500,
and the Confederate loss in killed.
wounded, and prisoners was $4,000
Mr.. Cray was admitted to the bar in
1875, and opened an office at Lake Crys-
tal, Mimi, where he practiced until 1887,
when he removed to Mankato, where he
continued in large and profitable prac-
tice until he entered upon his duties as
district judge.
Judge Cray has filled the position on
the bench most acceptably to attorneys
and litigants alike, and there is such
general satisfaction with the conduct of
the office that it is unlikely that there
will be any other candidate in the field.
Judge Cray possesses an acute legal
mind, and judicial poise that well fit
him for the office. He is careful and
fair, and seldom are his opinions revers-
ed, withal, he is a very affable gentle
man.

FOR SCRUBBING
ESTIMATE OF EXPENSE UNDER
DIR. CORBETTS PLAN.
Scheme Would Require Corps Of
Sixty Scrubbers Working Continu-
ously-It Is Not Regarded as Like
ly that the School Board Will
Adopt Suggestion.

1t Is roughly estimated that 1T Will
cost about 100000 a year to clean the
schoolhouses of the city according to
the system suggested by DR.. j. Frank
Corbett in his report on various meth
DDS. He suggested that almost ideal
results were obtained by scrubbing or
the floors weekly and by the use OF
Fans in ventilating. The next best
results were obtained by dry sweep
Ing with fan ventilation.
The members Of the board Of edu-
cation would like to adopt the ideal
method, but 100000 is a large sum
and the board needs money badly for
many other things. 1t is very likely
that, unless a great deal of pressure
Is brought to bear on the board, the
schoolhouse floors will not be scrub
bed weekly, but will be compelled to
go with the regular annual wash.
1t seems to be taken for granted
that 1t will not be possible to expect
the janitors to scrub the floors. Most
Of them are overworked now, so 1t
is said, and to make them scrub floors
is not to be thought of. It is esti-
mated that only two and a half rooms
could be scrubbed in one day. On
account of the large number of seats
which are fastened to the floors ii
requires. about three or four times
as long to scrub a school floor as an
ordinary floor Of the same area. The
schools average from twelve to six
teen rooms, and to give each one a

About His Career When the Fatal
Current Was Turned On.

the Minneapolis boy who was SEN
fenced to death for the murder of
John Guiberd, at Wauseon, Ohio, in
July, 1908, was electrocuted in the an
mex Of the Ohio penitentiary early this
morning.
Berg met death bravely. Just four
minutes elapsed from the time he left
his cell until the physicians pro-
nounced him dead.
He was very talkative.
After being strapped In the chair
he said he knew he had been very
bad, but he had made his peace with
God. He was still talking when the
current was turned on.
Although it Is not known thru what
devious paths of crime the young man
wended his way before being arrested
on the chrage of killing Guiberd, a
tramp, at Wauseon, Ohio, last winter,
he Is accredited with being the leader
Of the gang which kept the whole
northwest in constant terror last fall
when holdups and murders followed
each other with such alarming regu-
lartty. Before leaving Minneapolis
last fall it was generally known that
he carried large sums of money with
