moment, drew long sigh, and then
asked: Have you ever broken wom'

almost reproachfully answered. IF ]

Combination Hearses.

Some of the undertakers in England
have a combination hearse and coach
with a strong but ordinary type of
four-wheeled running gear. The front
part Of the vehicle is hearse and the
rear is 8 carriage with seats along the
side, providing accommodation for
about eight persons, a glass partition
dividing the hearse in which the coffin
Is placed from the carriage. This COM
binatiop hearse and carriage, with one
pair Of horses and one driver, can be
rented at a low figure, and provides an
economical funeral

know of and shows that the people
are satisfied with their choice of
two years ago. Both, Senator
Laybourn and representative Hugo
have much hard work to their
credit and are recognized as fact
ors in the doings of the august
law making body, in which repre-
sentation this district is indeed
fortunate.
Not only this, but. Mr.. Hugo is
being considered by the majority
districts of the state as the logical
candidate for Speaker of the
House. He was speaker pro. tenn.
during the last session of the legis-
lature and his intelligent and fail
manipulation of the rather difficult
place earned him the plaudits Of
his colleagues who are demand
ing that he be made speaker al
the next session. 1t is sincerely tC
be hoped he may land the place al
the prestige for the district il
having a speaker is something
sought by all.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-08-10

The above is fairly good like
ness of John HI. Norton, who has
filed for the Republican nomi-
nation for County Attorney. That
Mr.. Norton will be nominated and
elected is conceded by an except
ionally large number who feel that
he is the logical candidate for the
position. Mr.. Norton has never
held an office. He was candi-
date two years ago but was de-
feated at the primaries. This did
not deter him however from jump.
ing into the work of helping to
elect his successful opponent and
the balance of the Republican
ticket. He is forcible speaker.
full of argument and study and his
services have been in constant de-
mand by the Republican party for
the last twenty five years.
John Ii. Norton is a lover or the
square deap' for all the people, a
firm believer in the right and a
relentless enemy of the wrong. He
has been a..practicing lawyer for
twenty years, sixteen of which
have been spent in Duluth. He is
admitted to practice in the
United States supreme court and
| in the United States circuit and
district courts and in the courts OF
Michigan and Minnesota. His
popularity throughout st. Louis
county fortells his nomination and
election. 1t is safe to say that the
office will be in competent hands
in the event of the election of Mr..
Norton. Remember him at the
primaries on Sept. Is.
