COUNTY CUtLINGS.

The Japs and Russians are not
doing much these days but the bonn
bardment Of Port Dockery by demo-
cratic guns still continues.
A citizens ticket, headed by E. J.
Conger, of the Bulletin, for Mayor,
was nominated at a mass meeting
held in Linneus Wednesday night.
The democratic county central
committee has been called to meet in
Linneus on Saturday, April 8, to de-
termine whether or not primary is
to be held to decide on candidate
for governor.
None of the good road bills pro-
posed are likely to pass at this session
of congress, although they have very
strong backing. The sum of s24, 1000,
900 was asked for to be divided
among the states according TO popula-
ton. 1t is pointed out that during
the past fourteen years there has been
a balance of trade in favor of farm
products of s4,S06,O00,O00. AS it
costs more for the farmers to haul
their products over dirt roads than it
does for the railroads to carry the
produce to market, it would seem as
if the farmers, who are anxious for
good roads, should receive some con-
sideratlon.
According to ordinary cold blooded
rules of judgment, VIM. F. Harrity' s
opinion of the political situation
ought to have some weight. He was
chairman Of the democratic national
committee in the campaign of 1892
when Mr.. Cleveland was elected, one
of the only two democratic victories
since 1856. Harrity says he does not
find the outlook Of his party bit
hopeful. There Is no leadership, no
group of leaders sufficiently in the
front of democratic affairs to unite
the fighting spirit, he says and de-
clares that the party has no issues
sharply enough defined to arouse in
tense interest in the coming campaign.
He takes very gloomy view of the
future for democracy, but it is perhaps
about as cheerful as any sane man
could make it.

ARTESIAN WELL
UNDER THE CITY
TESTS BEING MADE ON AN IN
TERESTING THEORY. a.
Professor WincheH Says Part Of the
Mississippi Flows Somewhere Be-
meath the City, and That 1t Might
as Well Be Used-It Would Save
a Lot.

Artesian wells as possible source
of a water supply for Minneapolis are
now being considered by the pure
water commissioners. Messrs. F. w.
Cappelen and Andrew Rinker have
visited the big artesian wells at Anoka,
Coon Creek and other places and are
having samples of water tested for
chemical impurities and bacteria.
1t is the theory of Professor N. H.
Winchell the eminent geologist, that
part OF the Mississippi river water
disappears somewhere below st. Cloud
and takes subterranean course
This subterranean stream is thought
to be under Minneapolis and it is be-
lieved to be large enough to furnish
all the water the city can use. Mr.
Winchen advanced this theory many
years ago and urged the authorities
to take steps to ascertain if he was
not correct, but nothing was ever
done.
If the water is there in sufficient
quantities to furnish a reliable supply
for big city, say of two or three
times the present size of Minneapolis,
there will be no need to spend vast
sums of money on filter plants, for the
artesian water to be had in these
parts is much purer than could be OBJ
tanned from the river by ordinary fill
trat1On.

$4,000 REALTY TRANSFER
Milwaukee Man Buys Lot in Pioneer
Residence District

Charles P. Preston & Co. ha, sold the
tenement proper ty at Sixth avenue and
Third street, belonging to the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, to Jacob
Rosenberg of Milwaukee for $4,000. The
sale is significant, as it is one of the first
transfers in this pioneer residence dis
trict for years. The property lies 100 feet
on Third street and 100 feet on Sixth
avenue.
The only improvement is an old building
with frontage on both thorofares and
almost as long as the lot. At one time it
was used as an orphan asylum by the
Orphan Asylum association; later it
passed to the Christian Brothers, and in
1891 became the property of the church.
The building was remodeled into tene-
ments, which have been occupied almost
continuously by the same tenantry. The
improvements cut little figure in the sale.
Mr. Rosenberg will put the building in
good repair. E. Eichhorn & Sons repre-
scented the buyer.

PR0HIB VOTES COME HIGH
CHAIRMAN OF CAMPAIGN COM
MITTEE FOR THE STATE SAYS
EXPENSES AVERAGE 81 A
VOTER.

1t costs about 81 a vote to run a
prohibition campaign in Minnesota.
This has been ascertained by Chair
man G. w. Higgins of the state cam
election returns with the money
placed in his hands. This, he said,
was heavy handicap to the party,
but he placed the blame on the cleo
ton law which exacted big filing fees
from the candidates. He said the re-
publican party passed the law to force
the little parties out The prohibit
Minnesota branch was the best of all
because it spent the most money per
vote.
The business of the afternoon was
devoted to the nomination of candl-
dates for state Offices and the selection
Of a state committee.
1t was reported that G. w. Dorset
Of Minneapolis would secure the noml-
nation for governor, tho G. J. Ander-
son of Belgrade and C. A. Fowble of

A Preparation That Will Destroy the
Dandruff Germ Discovered.

Finally the scientific student has
discovered q certain remedy for dan
druff. When it first became known
that dandruff is the result of a germ
or parasite that digs into the scalp
and saps the vitality of hair at the
root, causing falling hair and bald
ness, biologists set to work to dis
cover some preparation that will kill
the germ. After a years labor in one
laboratory, the dandruff germ de-
stroyer was discovered; and it is now
embodied in Newbro's Herpicide. It
prevents badness, stops falling hair
and speedily eradicates dandruff. De

CANNED FRUITS SCARCE
A Minneapolis Broker Predicts Continued
High Prices.

Prices of dried and canned fruits are
likely to stay up. Unsatisfactory condi-
tions on the coast have resulted from
heavy rains, which destroyed the flower
ing fruit. A broker said to-day: ~,
THE Gamers and dried fruit buyers are
setting a pretty hot pace in the fruit dis
tricts of California in their anxiety to
get stock. Not a pound Of fruit will be
dried for some time, but the demand for
canned goods is quite active. The buying
agents are securing the country for stuff
at prices that no grower can refuse,
based the present selling prices for
dried fruit
Minneapolis, the broker says, eats more
olives per capita than any city in the
union. If prohibitive prices should rule
on dried fruit, Minneapolis can fall back
on it's staple.
