The Farmers Oil Mil to Add Plant at
Once-Will be Installed as Soon
AS Possible.

AT Il meeting of the directors Of the
Farmers Oil mill held last week, it
was decided to install the ice plant,
just as soon as the machinery can be
put in. This matter was practically
decided upon some weeks ago, but last
week several gentlemen interested in
the mill and in ice machinery were in
Newberry and after consultation with
President H. H. Evans and the man.
aser, J. H. Wicker, it was decided to
proceed at once to the erection and
installation Of the plant. Such an
enterprise is very much needed in
Newberry and we are glad that it is
t. be built and built at once.

COUNTY PoLITICS.
The Thing Warming up Just . Little
Several More Aspirants for
the Legislature Mentioned.

For some reason for long time it
looked as if but few candidates were
going to offer for political preferment
in this county this year but latterly
the thing seems to have been stirred
and besides those already announced
for the legislature several more are
spoken of as avowed candidates and
it is supposed will file their pledges in
ample time to go before the voters in
the county campaign which this year
does not open until the 31st of this
month when the first meeting will be
held at Mt. Bethel in No: 2 township.
That gives all the candidates up to
the 30th of the month at. noon in
which to file their pledges.
There are now five candidates for
the house announced in The Herald
and News and it was reported on Sat
urday on the streets that there were
four or five more who would be in
the race and would probably announce
in the newspapers this week. So it
would seem that the voter will have
a sufficient number fro mwhich to Sc
! lect.
For superintendent of education,
treasurer and probate judge it ap-
pears that the incumbentS will be
elected without opposition.
There are several who aspire to the
=. .,ff ,,,l, !
to be county supervisor.
The office of legislator and the Of
flee of county supervisor are two of
the most important to the filed.
The issues of the campaign among
the candidates for the legislature it is
supposed will be about the same as
for several years past. OF course in
Ncwhcrry county the question of ap-
preparations and taxes is always live
one. Then while the diSpensary has
been voted out of the county ii is fair
to expect that it will engage
part of the time of the
candidates. Then there is the
question of compulsory education,
good roads, state colleges, which ought
to be settled, but which is always al
issue in Newberry county. 1t is pre-
sumed that the candidates will be able
to fill III the twenty minutes which
will be allowed.
County Chairmon f. H. Dominick
will attend the meetings and preside
1t is hoped the discussions may be
intelligent and free from personalities
and abuse.

DECAPITATED AGED SNAKE.
New York State Woman Pins Reptile
to Earth and Uses Pocket
Knife.

Bath, N. "a large rattlesnake is on
exhibition in this village which was
killed by the wife of Marcellus Rice, a
farmer of this town, who resides on
Mount Washington, in a region noted
for rattlesnakes. Instead of killing the
snake with stick, she adopted the
novel method of decapitating it with a
pocketknife.
Her son John was engaged in picking
berries, when in the bushes near by he
heard a strange noise and told his
mother. She accompanied her son back
to the place, where she recognized in the
sound the rattle of the snake. She Sc
cured forked stick with which she be-
gan prodding in the grass, and was re-
warded by the snake striking at her.
While the snake was yet uncoiled and
before it could prepare for a second at
tack she damned the forked stick ovef
its head. The snake thus imprisoned
made violent commotion, coiling it's
body about the stick.
However, she was clear nerve. She
searched with her other hand in her
apron pocket until she found pocket
knife, and this she handed to her son
and told him to open its largest blade
He did so and returned the knife to his
mother. She took the knife and DELHI
erately cut off the snakes head. The
snake measured 80 inches in length and
lad nine rattleS.

Norton was defeated by only few
votes. Mr.. Norton claims that at
that time Mr.. McClintock promised
him his support for this election
and as he has since announced his
intention not to become candi-
date, it looks as though he meant
it. Some in Duluth are of the
opinion, however that the coming
out of G. E. Adams for the county
attorneyship was a move made by
Mr.. McClintock. This remains to
be seen.
