STANDPAT M'CLEARY TO
LOSE CONGRESSIONAL JOB

Congressman McCleary has
probably been defeated in the
Second congressional district,
according to a dispatch received
this noon from st. Paul. The
successful democratic candidate
is w. S. Ham mond.
The fight made upon him has
been one in which the democrats
and revisionist-repn blicans have
joined hands, and the Little
School MASTER apparently has
been unable to stand up under
the shower Of Disappearing
votes.
The fight against Met Cleary in
his own party at the primary
election was . fierce one, and il
lis conceded that he pulled
through only with the aid Of the
democrats, who voted for him
because they thought him easier
to kill of at the general election
than his opponent, Gunderson.

BAILEY AND HAZEN NIP AND

Sheriff Thomas Bailey is hav-
ing the fight of his life for re-
election. The independent can
didate, Al Hazen, is pushing the
old war horse to the limit, and at
present it is any body's battle.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon
Bailey was twenty-nine ahead,
and he had hopes of winning.
The precincts yet to be heard
from are supposed to be Bailey
territory, and the sheriff is con-
fdent of victory.

It was in the city of Bemidji
that Hazen got his biggest lead.
His majority in the four wards
here was $50, and in but one
ward, the First, did Sheriff Bailey
win out. There he was fourteen
votes to the good. Hazen also
gained heavily in Nymore.
Bailey's greatest strength, as
was expected, was in Baudetto

Two years more OF JOnn a.
Johnson.
The election yesterday was q
landslide, and somewhere at the
bottom of q mountain of votes,
which is estimated at 10000 or
more "to the good" for the silver
tongued democrat, lies A. L
Cole of Walker, late republican
candidate for chief executive of
the state.
It was q cinch, a walk-away,
and the joke of it is that it was q
big surpise to almost everybody.
Plenty of people had picked
Johnson to win, but most of the
predictions were for a plurality
of between 5000 and $1,000.
When some daring one said
10000 he was branded as q
visionary.
Johnson swept the state from
stem to stern, and carried every
thing before him. In the south
ern part of the state where the
knowing ones said he could not
hope to hold all the republicans
who voted for him two years
ago, and that his figures would
materially cut down, he not only
secured all his old hackers but
many new ones as well. Coles
vote in nearly all the southern
counties is smaller than was
Dunn 81 E.-
Then in Minneapolis, where
it was not thought possible that
Johnson could swing his old vote,
there was q landslide as remark
able as that of 1904. Johnson re-
ceived 1900 and Cole 1000.
In Northern Minnesota the
"dope went wrong" also. Cole
would carry the northern coun-
ties, everybody thought, here
would be this stronghold ); bat
when the votes were counted,
Johnson had majorities in nearly
every northern county so far
heard from.
{, It might almost be said that
Cole was slaughtered in the
house of his friends. His own
county went for him by about
200 plurality, as far as has been
heard from, and he carried
Walker, but he lost Motley, his
real home town, by big vote.
In Bemidji and in Beltrami
county the republican candidate
received a tremendous setback. /
The landslide for johnson in this
repu blican stronghold was a big
surprise and almost as pro-
nounced as in other good repub.
lican bailiwicks.

The remarkable thing about
the vote in this city, as all over
the state, is the gain of johnson
over his vote last year. For
instance, Dunn carried Bemidji
two years ago by 129, which
means a gain for johnson of 242
votes. This is also holding true
throughout the county, johnson
won many votes in almost every
precinct over his vote of 1904.

TAKE THE IMMUNITY BATH.

Great Northern Railway Employees Be-
fore Grand Jury.
Minneapolis, Oct. 24.-Seven men
were given the immunity sweat bath
here by United States Attorneys Houpt
and Ewert and Special Agent H. B.
Duncan, before the special grand jury
summoned to hear evidence in connec-
tion with railroad rebating.
They were G. S. Corl of the Dever-
eaux Grain Co.; r. G. Kyle, agent
Great Northern at Minneapolis juno
ton: George G. Ingram of the Great
Northern freight claim department, St.
Paul; r. E. Draper, auditor of the
Great Northern, st. Paul; r. w.
Bryan, superintendent Of transported
ton of the Great Northern, st. Paul;
]. P. Dooley, freight agent of the Great
Northern, Superior, Wis; w. J. Pow.
er, general agent freight department
of the Great Northern, Duluth.
It is said that the evidence so far
has tended to show that rebate Of
half cent per bushel has been re-
ceived by prominent grain firm for
all grain shipped over the Great North
ern.
Should the grand jury return indict-
ments, the cases will probably be set
for the April term. The new term of
the federal district court will begin in
April and enough time will intervene
to enable the defendants, whoever they
may be, to prepare their defense.

Philadelphia. Oct 24.-Judge Stake

congress, has received from its COM

to the various delegates proposed
measure for bringing about uniformity
in the present divorce laws of the
United States
The proposed statute is the outcome
of deep study on the subject by emf
nent lawyers and jurists and promi-
nent churchmen, all of whom are con-
versant with existing conditions of the
so-called divorce evil, and the pro-
posed new act is calculated to insure
remedial results all over the country.
Its compilation was entrusted to the
resolutions committee, which consists
of representatives to congress from
this state and New Jersey and they
will unanimously report the proposed
act to the congress, which reas-
sembles in this city on Nov 10.
Practically every state and terri
tory will be represented at the meet.
ing
AS soon as practicable the delegates
will attempt to have the proposed new
law enacted in their respective states
While little or no change is made in
the given causes for divorce as now
existing, certain provisions of the new
act were evidently made with view
Of arresting the increasing demand for
legal severance of marital bonds. I'm
der these stipulations secret or stal
chamber sessions for hearing divorce
cases are done away with and al

OLDEST FIXED DATE

Chicago, Aug. l6.-Prof. James II. Breasted, the Psychologist of the Uni versity of Chicago, has announced in an article on Biblical work published yes terday that the oldest fixed date in his tory is 424l B. C.
 In that year, he says the calendar was established, the year beginning on what would now be July l9.
 Consequently, he says, the calendar now in use was 6,l47 Eears old last month.
 The professor has arrived at these conclusions during his long exploration of the Nile valley when he compared ,b. astronomical data found in the old and middle kingdoms oi Egypt

WELLMAN
Will Wait Till Next Year to Go to the
 North Pole

London, Aug. l6.-A dispatch from Cbristiana to the London Daily Mail says that private letters have been re- ceived there from Spitzbergen which state that owing to the lateness of the season Walter Wellman, chief of the Chicago Record Herald Arctic expedi- tion. has abandoned his project of bal looming to the norlh pole this year.
 Wellman declares that none of the preliminary work will be lost by wait ing over one season, while the extra data now secured will, in conjunction with an early start next year, prove in- valuable.
 The writer was of the opinion that to insure this early start next year the ex- pedition would winter at the balloon station, maintaining everything in read mess for the grand dash for the pole when the time comes.
 Considerable disappointment is mani tested by the Arstc societies, which had counted much on the Wellman expedi- tion this year.
