KING NOT A CANDIDATE
Grand Rapids Man Withdraws from
Race for State Senator.

CASS LAKE, MINN.-Word comes from Grand
Rapids that H. R. King Of that place has de-
cided not to enter the field for the republican
nomination as q member of the state legislature,
as he considers that his candidacy might 1n5ure
the chances Of D. NJ. Gum for the republican
nomination for the senate from this senatorial
district. Gum Is also resident OF Grand
Rapids, and it is believed that with the two
men from the town soliciting support
as members OF the legislature, neither would be
chosen
The entrance OF A. L. Cole into the gubernato-
rial race has simpliied matters for Gum. Cole
could have had the nomination for the senate but
it is understood that Cole has Endorsed Gum s
candidacy and will use all his influence to fur
Their Gums interests.
1t is said that State Senator Frater of the
forty eighth senatorial district has beeen prom.
Used the office of Indian agent at the Leech Lake
agency. H. A. Rider Of Little Falls was offered
the position by Congressman Buckman, but he
declined the offer.
Frater will withdraw as candidate for the
state senate, which will leave the field prac.
tically clear for S. F. Alderman of Brainerd.
The members Of the Cass Lake Commercial

Fort Dodge, Iowa. May 19-All Iowa is
watching the progress OF the free alcohol BILL
Already capital has been attracted by the field
are, several men of wealth who have plans par
TALLY formed for the erection Of large dis
tillery for the manufacture Of alcohol from
grain as soon as the bill becomes law.
The removal Of the tax from alcohol would be
of inestimable value to Iowa as grain growing
state. 1t means the erection of distilleres in
every part Of the state which will employ capital
and labor and stimulate a. home market for
agricultural products. s..-. ~
Corn, Iowa's great staple, will be in much
greater demand. Last years crop was in the
neighborhood Of 375,OOO,00O bushels. Only a
small percentage of this was consumed at home.
The time was when crop Of this kind would
be represented in q large degree by special
stock trains of fat cattle on their way to east
ern markets, but stock-feeding as industry
has decreased to a large extent the past five
years. .S.-a. - .s,,< - - .-..
However, the removal of the tax from alec.
! hol will mean the establishment Of a permanent
market for Iowas great corn crop which will
not be influenced to the extent that the cattle
feeding industry was. g.. ..r:-
1T is easy to remember when corn sold for IL
cents bushel. Today it Is worth about &C
cents on track. The steady demand and more
staple market is due to many sources, chief o.
which is the number OF products now being made
| from corn which are staple commodities.
| While the uses to which corn is now bein;
put by manufacturers reaches over thirty, thu
articles which alcohol enters into in the course
of their manufacture reaches 10O OF eQua
stability of character, are the articles of com
merce made from alcohol compared with thos'
| made from corn. T.

FIGHTS BATTLE
WITH ROOT BEER r
WILLIAMS THOUGHT HE HEARD A
SHOT IN THE CELLAR.
He Returned the Fire with the Real
Thing, Sending Bullet After Bullet
Into the Darkness-Root Beer Bot
ties, Which Good Wife Had Put
Away, Caused Alarm. -~ ~e.E'> ~

Window, Mimi, May 19.-About midnight last
night r. James Williams, travelling man, was
awakened by what apparently was a pistol shot
coming from the cellar. He hastily arose and
securing revolver which he kept in. bureau
drawer, ssealth1ly approached the cellar door.
Just as he opened the door there another
pop and Mr.. Williams felt slight blow on his
left shoulder. Hastily placing his hand upon
the spot, he felt a warm, sticky substance which
he believed blood. He at once opened fire,
sending bullet after bullet crashing into the
blackness Of the cellar. There were several more
reports from inside the cellar and apparently a
desperate battle was on.
Mr.. Williams finally ran out OF ammunition
and pulling the cellar door tightly shut, hastily
ran upstairs for cartridges. His wife
meantime, aroused by the shooting and fearing
for the safety Of her husband, had opened
window and screaming at the top OF her
voice for help. Her cries aroused ne1ghbor,
who FASTENED to the house. Lights were brought
and the reinforcements once more advanced on
the cellar
Just as the door opened there was a
perfect fusiade Of pops, which caused hasty
retreat on the part Of the Investigators. After
waiting several minutes, however without any
thing further developing to alarm them, the In
| vaJlers again opened the cellar door.
There they discovered that the cause Of the
alarm was about two dozen bottles OF root beer
which Mrs Williams had made several days
previously. She had bottled the beer without
allowing 1t to ferment, and consequently as l,
began to work the corks were blown out with 6
loud report. Mr.. Williams decided that he hat
not been wounded, but had been hit by flying
cork and deluged with the beverage.

CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE
Eminent Geologist Talks Interestingly
About the Recent Distur bance.

=" = New York Evening Sun. -. .>@
The interesting scientific examination
of the earthquake, contributed by Pro
fessor W. NJ. Davis, the well known
geologist, points to deep-seated frac-
ture Of the earth IS crust as the immed-
ate cause of the disturbance. In this
opinion Professor Davis is at one with
the majority Of the seismologists, but it
will be observed that he differs from
Norman Lockyer, Professor Matteucci
and some Others who are inclined to
believe that there was some connection
between the phenomena at San Fran.
cisco and Vesuvius. This he holds to be
an entirely fanciful superstition; for
tho his consideration of the evidence
seems rather to be concerned with the
question whether the eruption caused
the earthquake than whether both were
due to similar cause, yet he plainly
disbelieves in any intimate relation be-
tween the two. t-.... +.
One Of the points upon which PROBES.
San Francisco earthquake was compare
lively light, as earthquakes go. From
the accounts that have reached us it is
apparent that many Of the better build
ings stood the shock well and that the
destruction caused Immediately by the
movements Of the earth were not SO
great as was at first supposed. To de-
scribe the coast Of California as dan.
gerous place for human habitatiop
strikes Professor Davis as absurd. The
region, he tells us, is not peculiarly un.
| stable; in the Himalaya mountains, fol
instance, earthquakes Of far greater VIC
lence have occurred in recent years. The
risk, Of living in such a region is less
than in the neiphborhOod Of volcanoes
/ prairie states where tornadoes are fro
uuent, or coast towns, occasionally Wis
tied by so-called "tidal' waves.
In word, he sees no reason in thu
world why San Francisco, with stronge,
buildings and better precautions against
fire, should not rise up again as great
city. CATER surviving many troubles
all thru the ages, we are not, he says
t1going to give up just because third
class earthquake comes along. a,
