Always a Republican.
Mr.. Pond has been fe-long re-
publican and staunch party worker.
He has contributed his time and
money to the success of the republican
party, and this is the first time that
he has asked for an office which
would bring to him emoluments. Mr..
Pond is gentleman of integrity and
stands high in this community, where
he was engaged in business SO long.
He is we'll thought. of by the people
throughout Blue Earth county. There
is no question but what Mr.. Ponds
name would add strength to the coun-
ty ticket. We're it to be placed thereon,
Would Make Creditable Officer.
That Mi.a Pond would make a credit
able official there is no question. He
is in every way qualified for the posi-
ton. He certainly has every, quality
that goesii to make up an ideal sheriff.
He is gentleman possessed of in
telligence and character and is hon.
est, conscientious. He would be ever
thoughtful of the. peoples interests.
Alec Hanson of Butternut is not a
candidate for sheriff. He has filed
for denomination for county COM

H0BS0N TALKS WAR
AND SOME POLITICS

Richard Pearson Hobson spoke In
the Opera House in this city Saturday
evening. Everybody knows Hobson.
or at least knows who he is, for didn t
he return from the Spanish War and
kiss all the ladies who came his way,
but he didn't talk about kissing in
his speech here. Presijert r. L.
Mangum of the Bryan & Kern Club
made few introductory remarks and
then Mr.. Hobson criticized the repub.
licau party and praised the demo-
cratic party, roasted Taft and
eulogized Bryan, winding mp this part
of the argument with the complaint
that the republicans had had the
Offices long enough and that the
democrats ought to have q chance
once in a while, because he didn I
think they could do any harm anyway.
Hobson said he wasn't a politician,
but inssmuch as he had happened to be
elected to congress from Alabama. had
sort been dragged into the game
His real business is war. and while
he thinks the republican party has
spent too much money he believes
they should have added billion OF

 Go Ashore MANY ATTEND SERVICES Cardinal Moran Presents the Flagship Connecticut With Tame Kan garoo as Memento of Visit
 to Australian Shores.
MANY ATTEND SERVICES

Sydney, N, s. w, August 2s.-Four thousand men of the American fleet were permitted ashore today and 1900 of these. including 1894 officers at- tended high mass In the cathedral. The services were impressive and special music had been arranged in honor ot the Americans, Great crowds lined the streets and took quite as much inter- est in the parading sailors as on the first day of their arrival.
 A banquet was given tonight fin the town hall by the Catholics to 1900 men and officers of the fleet which was at tended by the federal ministers, Judges and other officials Cardinal Moran, arch bishop of Sydney presided. Toasts wore drunk to the King and the Presi- dent, after which Cardinal Moran, in proposing "Our Guests" delivered a long historical address, showing that Cathol had advanced on the same line of material prosperity and religious lib- erty in America and Australia.
 The Rev. Matthew c. Gleeson, chap lain of the battleship Connecticut, re- 
 that Sydney's reception surpassed any that the fleet had received, even at home. The magnificent hospitality of the Australians, he declared, would make an abiding impression in the hearts of S0,00O,000 of Americans who were truly kinsmen. America knew no religious problems, whether English T,t. lto American ideals and achievements were similar.
 Among the most cherishe ed mcmentos of the visit that the Americans will carry away will be a tame Kangaroo, | which Cardinal Moran will present to the flagship Connecticut. as he said he wished the men of the splendid battle ship to have something characteristic of the country. Rear Admiral Sperry, Lord and Lady Northcote, Sir Harry and Lady Rawson and a large number of the officers and men of the visiting fleet, attended the Anglican cathedral. The Baptists and Congregationalists united in service which also was large- ly attended. Chaplain Stevenson of the Minnesota offlciated at a Methodist service of the American and British bluejackets, while the Presbyterians worshipped in the town hall

 This is no idle picture of the dangers from fly infection. I have spent copsid- erable time fin watching flies and we know that their dejecta alone contain millions of bacteria. I have furthermore paid particular attention to their habits in homes of the poor, for here is where there is the greatest danger. The poor nearly universally leave their tables set with cold food left from the previous meals. Files assembly fin great numbers upon this food, and from time to time the children run in and help themselves, the remainder of the food being served at the next meal. Now, let us suppose that there is an open prlvy on the prem- ises or near by. but-there is no need for me to paint the picture further. You know where that fly has been. If there are cases of typhoid fever about all the more probability that the fly will carry the infection to others. In the Philippines it was hard to check cholera. because the flies contaminated the foods and sweet stuffs sold by the vendors. And if ty- phoid fever and cholera, why not tubercu- losis and leprosy? Just spend some of your time watching flies after sputum and spittle in your streets. Now, if there

 Let me suggest that you begin the war fare against the fly by talking against him to his natural-born enemy the house. keeper She is not slow in accepting new ideas when they concern the betterment of humanity and the prevention of dis ease. Here her heart beats true and u1- derstandngly Therefore let me urge you to talk flies (and other insects, too, Tor that matter) to your lady friends.
 And why not try and get started a movement to compel livery stables and dairies to properly care for the manure?

Peary's Quest.

From Current Literature.
 Peary's latest and last trip to the Arc tic zone began last month. With fifteen tons of pemmican, 800 pounds of choice tea at a dollar a pound, 100 barrels of flour, and 100 cases of condensed milk the four indispensable items-not to mention innumerable other kinds of sup plies. including a car load of ice, the good ship Roosevelt left New York for another tussle with the ice foes. Her first port was Oyster Bay, where the President and his family came on board to wish Peary good luck. Everybody wishes him good luck, even those who are still asking the question, Whats the use? It is a question that nobody has answered very satisfactorily. But as long as man is made with the spirit of adventure in him and "thews that throw the world" he will persist in doing some things without waiting for an adequate answer to that question. What is the use of an automobile race from New York to Paris through the arid wastes of Asia? What is the use of Theodore Reosevelt's making a hunting tour to South Africa? This or that particular feat may seem of no use, but the some- thing in the soul of man that responds to the challenge of fate, the rapture that comes in shaking dice with death, the resistless lure of the mysterious and the unknown-these have played tremen- dous part in the making of the world and we cannot do without them. The injunction laid upon the first man "subdue the earth"-has never been lifted. And as long as there is a noun tain top yet to be conquered, forest yet to be penetrated, degree of lati- tude or longitude yet to be traversed and charted, there will be men of the Peary type who will glory In the peril and hardship without waiting to find beforehand and answer to the question, Whats the use?

HARTMAN ISSUES STRONG AND ACTIVE Most Important Feature of the
 Stock Market MlD- SUMMER QUIETUDE Iron and Steel Trade Conditions Are Rather Mlxed--Llght Material
 Is In Better Demand-col-
 lapse in Cotton Pool.
MID- SUMMER QUIETUDE

New York, August Exchanges in the general financial situation last week were hardly noteworthy. On the stock exchange the daily trading par took strongly of the midsummer char acter, prices rising and falling within narrow range, Early in the week the list became unsettled under the in 1uence of manifestos of New England operator and from start to finish the markets undertone was distinctly ir- regular. The week was not without it's favorable developments foremost being the marked improvement re. ported in crops. Another gratifying feature was the governments report on the country's foreign commerce in July which sh owed reduction of $38, 900 900, or 30 per cent imports and a falling off of s267. 100000 for the seven months of the calendar year.
 This enormous contraction of im- ports, with an excess of exports for the same period of $179.O0O,00 gives promise of highly favorable foreign trade balance. Money has piled up hers during the past week, chiefly from tn c interior and time as well as call ac commodations show noticeable ease.
 Easily the most prominent feature of the week in stocks was the activity new high record was made by Southern Pacific during the week, with talk of a readjustment of the company's se- curities in some manner calculated to benefit that stock. The weakness of the Rock Island Frisco group was so pronounced as to cause some uneasi ness. although assurances were given that the more immediate financial needs of this system would be safeguarded. Their complicated condition Is very generally known, however, and some kind of reorganization seems inevita- ble.
 Iron and steel conditions are rather mixed just now. A better demand is reported for light materials, but other wise only slight improvement is shown. In the copper and general metal trade the situation is decidedly less IaVOTaDle LndH d llOutu d6O. OhO of the weeks interesting events bear ing not a little on the securities mar ket was the sensational collapse of the big cotton pool, which is said to have brought disaster to some of the more venturesome operators in stocks. The sub bstantiation of the reports. submitted by the mercantile agencies for the week Is that trade and industrial activities continue to extend, with promise Of per : manent improvement. Europe was in scarcely any sense factor in the weeks trading here. As an instance of how thoroughly our local financial in stitutions have recovered from last falls panic, it Is not amiss to note one or the defunct trust companies, since reor- ganizing, has prospered well enough to anticipate by four and six month pay ment of two installments to its de- positors.
