NOT MERELY OFFICE HOLDING.
Il believe the Republican party in
Maryland realizes that it cannot survive
merely to hold the Federal offices and
that there as in the Nation, it is the
party of political and industrial progress,
and that it will give to this State laws
accomplishing each of these measures.
| also believe that the earnest and clear
cut advocacy of such measures will COM
mend it to all progressive and thinking
men of this State. With reference to
the Hannah oyster BILL it is undoubtedly
the best oyster measure vet pres
cnted. 1t would possibly be wiser that
there should be a greater revenue to the
State from the oyster beds than the lat
est measure proposes. 1t might be less
for the first few years.

Unknown Man Dies at Two Harbors

hospital. In the morning he inquired the way
to Duluth. and was walking the tracks bound
for that point when the train struck him. He
had reached the south end of the yards here
known as the Duluth siding. as the train ap-
preached. It is thought he concluded the train
was going to move I'D the tracks on which he
vas walking, SO he steD2ed to another track
which was the one actually used by the train.
Nothing be found to lead to the man 8
Identification anything concerning his rela-
tlves or home. and there does not appear to be
any one here who has any previous knowledge OF
him. .-- r. g.,
He was about 40 years Of age, weight about
$50 pounds. sandy hair anc mustache. with a
slight sprinkling Of gray hairs. From his
clothes, it appears that he had been in hard
circumstances for some time. but his hands

ever laEorer.
Another new townsite is to be plated on the
Mesaba range near Prairie river. It will adjoin
