AS A BRYAN ANT|DOTE
Chicago Democrats Suggest Grover
Cleveland for President.
JOHNSON FOR SECOND PLACE
Asserted In Windy City That Ticket
Made Up Of the Former Chief Ex-
ecutlve and Mnnesota's Governor
Could Be Elected.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Grover Cleve-
land as the Democratic candidate for
president Is suggested in political cir
cles In Chicago. It Is urged that a
ticket headed by Mr.. Cleveland, with
Governor Johnson of Minnesota for
vice president, could be elected. The
politicians making the suggestion are
strongly opposed to the nomination Of
William Jennings Bryan and the
Cleveland suggestion is in the way
of q Bryan antidote.
It came up in connection with the
week end" political gathering which
Chairman Tom Taggart Of the Demo
cratic national committee is to give
at French Lick Springs, Ind, next
Friday. He has invited not only the
other members of the committee, but
several Democratic politicians. A fair
sized attendance is looked for.
1t is taken for granted among the
Democrats here that the purpose of
the gathering is to see whether there
Is any good way of heading off the
Bryan boom. While all the members
of the committee have been asked to
attend the word brought to Chicago is
that none of the other politicians in
vited is of the Bryan persuasion and
the inference is that they are to use
their persuasive powers on whatever
Bryan adherents there may be among
the committee members to convince
them Of the error of their ways.

JAMES 4. WONzOR DIED
IN BEMIDJ| YESTERDAY
Had Been III Since August.-Consump.
ton of the Bowels Final Cause
OF His Death.

James A. Wonzor of this city died
at his home, Corner Ninth St. and
Beltrami Ave-, after an ILL
ness of several months. Mr.. Won
zor was taken seriously i'll last
August and has been confined to
his home ever since with an illness
which finally terminated in consump-
ton of the bowels. Recently Mr..
Wonzo1 failed rapidly, and Friday
and Saturday his condition became
such that it was only a matter of
hours when he would succomb.
Mr.. Wonzor was born January Is,
1856, at Orelia, Canada. He was
one of the early settlers of this city
and had large acquaintance. He
was barber by trade and has many
friends in this community.
Few people realized that Mr.. Won
zor was very seriously ill. 1t was
known that he had bee n
suffering from rheumatic fever. This
however, had been cured, but was
succeeded by consumption of the
bowels, which was fatal. Mr.. Won
zer was very we'll liked in this city,
and was known as sober, indus
trious citizen, who always did all in
his power for the interest of the city.
Mr.. Wonzor is survived by two
children, a daughter and a son.
The daughter is Miss Birdie Wonzor,
unmarried, who is living in San Fran
cisco. The son is The A. Wonzor,
who is married, and with whom the
deceased has lived in this city dur
ing the last five months.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been completed, as
Miss Birdie Wonzor has been
notified of her fathers death, and
the funeral will not be held until she
gets here, which will be on Wednes-
day or Thursday.
The A. Wonzor informs the Pho
neer that he is endeavoring to secure
Rev. Frank Higgins to preach the
funeral sermon.

Not Good Game Weather.

Joseph Murphy, the sage of the
Marquette lake country, was a
visitor in the city today.
Mr. Murphy states that the present
conditions are not good for hunting
big game. There is no snow on
the ground" says Mr.. Murphy, and
the leaves and brush are so dry that
one cannot pass in the woods with
out making all kinds of noise. If
we had little snow it would make a
great deal Of difference"

CONTINUE FIGHT ON BRYAN
Eastern Democrats Favor a More Con-
sentative Candidate.

sentative Candidate.
Chicago, Nov. 1S.-A special to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
William J. Bryan's announcement Of
his readiness to lead the Democratic
party again next year is just what
those closest to him have been ex-
pecting for several months. Those
not so close to him had hoped that
Bryan would step aside and give some
other man show.
There will be a continuation of the
fight against Bryan and in favor of a
more conservative candidate by the
element represented by some of the
larger Democratic newspapers, nota-
bly, in the East, and by certain mem
bers of the Democratic national COM
mittee who were brought to the front
by the reorganization preliminary to
the Parker campaign. Tammany will
not swallow Bryan until he is forced
down it's throat by the national con-
vention.
There is reason to believe that Mr..
Bryan made sure Of his hold on the
rank and file Of the party before de-
claring himself formally in the race.
AS far as politicians are concerned
all of those who are not for him are
not necessarily against him. The ex-
PLANTATION of this paradoxical state
ment is that a great many Demo
cratic leaders who are at heart op-
posed to Bryan and Organism realize
his popularity with the rank and file
and, as one of the most prominent
among them recently stated, Bryan
can do the party more harm in pri-
vate capacity than he can as a can
difate"

EXPERT TELLS FARMERS
ABOUT RAISING CLOVER
Says Its Proper Seed to Sow to
Prepare Lands for Raising
Other Cereals.

The farmers who are tilling the
soil in the north half of the state
will be interested in the remarks
of G.. Beaman Smith, of Washington,
D. c., an assistant agriculturist of
the department of agriculture, con-
corning the adaptability of cut.over
pine lands for raising clover.
Mr.. Smith was at Wadena recently,
and he gave out the following state
ment:
I'VE know from careful investiga-
ton, from scientific research and
from practical experience, much
about clover. There is, however,
much more that we do not know
about this plant. I came here from
the northern part of the southern
peninsula of Michigan, where clover
growing is perhaps the chief indus
try. The people down there have
been in business for a longer time
than you have up this way, and
their success have beenmore marked.
In that locality yield of IL bushels
to the acre of medium red seed was
accomplished. This was an abnor-
NAL yield and such result was
obtained but once and by but
one man. 1t is, however, not unus-
+ual in Michigan for clover to yield
as high as 10 bushels to the acre
and E to 8 bushels are common.
I am comparing Michigan with
Wadena county for the reason that
the soil is similar to what you have
in a large section of this county.
Michigan clover growers who farm
on practically pure sand much finer
than what you have here, are getting
abundant results with clover. The
land was formerly covered with pine
and later grew up to jack pine. I
am informed that large section of
Wadena county is known as jack
pine lands.
We do know this, that clover
will grow luxuriantly on this light
soil and I will even venture the posi-
tive assertion that there is no land
so light in Wadena county but that
it will produce an abundant clover
crop. A million acres of Michigan
jackpine lands were reclaimed by
clover.
The flower nudge is probably
the most important factor in deter.
mining the yield of clover seed. Few
of your farmers will know anything
of this little insect, but it is here,
as it is wherever clover is grown.
This flower nudge attacks the
clover when it is in bloom. It then
goes into the ground and spins a
cocoon around itself and after a
period it reappears, generally when
the clover which has been cut for
hay crop is in bloom a second time.
This insect preys on the flower and
destroys it, and thus there is no
seed.
Glover is wonderful plant. 1t
will work wonders for northern
Minnesota as it has done in north
ern Michigan. All crops fail some
times, but the farmers of Wadena
and adjoining counties will pursue
the wise plan if they follow up clover
growing more or less each and
every year"

election as bishop the editor OF the Ep-
worth Herald, the organ OF the young
peoples society, the Epworth league.
The term OF w. NJ, Newton, presiding
elder OF the Montpelier district, will ex-
pire this year and someone VIII be APP

changes in the two other presiding elder
ships, but that the present incumbeuts,
George w. Hunt OF the ct. Adams district

district, will remain. Since the removal
OF the time limit in pastoral appointments,
there are no changes by expiration oil

TAKING INHERITANcES.

1t seems likely that the not remote
future will witness wide extension in
the matter of taxing inheritances.
Every state, as well as the federal
government, is constantly casting
about to find new sources OF revenue.
The very heavy burdens undertaken
by government, demanding large out
lays, requires the ingenuity of the
keenest minds to provide for them.
Year by year the state and nation
assume more and more in the way OF
doing for the public that which it can
do better than the individual, or lesser
aggregations. This unceasing growth
in public service. added to the general
increase in the cost of everything en-
tering therein, means tremendous
increment in the expense account of
every branch of government, to meet
which the old system of direct taxation
proves quite inadequate. If all the
money it costs to run the federal
government and the states were raised
by direct tax, as local taxes are raised,
the people would rise in rebellion
instantly. One by one, new schemes
of indirect taxation have been devised !;
in fact the bulk of the public money is
now raised in that way. But these,
in turn, are proving insufficient,
though the tax rates reach proportions
in some cases most burdensome.
The taxation of inheriLances is not
an experiment. England and other of
the old countries operate it success
fully. Certain of our states have
tried modified forms OF it, including
our own state, which some years ago
began the taxation of collateral inheri-
tances that is, of inheritances coming
to persons from without the direct line
of property descent. Last year this
tax yielded Vermont an income OF
| $40,591,14. 1t meets with general IA
vor, though in certain cases it bears
hard, and very naturally the heirs al
ways disapprove of it. The PROPOSE.
ton to extend the system SO as to tax
all inheritances, both direct an(l4col
lateral, would doubtless meet with
strenuous objection, but under the re.
sistless pressure for more public reve-
nues it may come to pass, as being the
point of least resistance, after all
President Roosevelt has proclaimed
his belief in it as principle, and hai
presented strong argument for i,
from the federal standpoint.
There is no more common or wide
} spread misconception of any principl,
of law than that relating to the dispo
t si.ion of the possessions of a person
