EATvvoLE EXPECTED TO GET
INTO GAME.
WelI-Krs,wn Northfield Man Is About
Ready to Announce His G andi-
dacy for the GovernorshIp.

Minneapolis, March 3.-JoeI p. Heat
wole of Mort hfield is expected to an
nounce his candidacy for the repubIi
can nomination for governor in a few
days.
When he doess it is expected the an
nouncement will contain red fire and
explosive material.
This informant ion has been given
out in Minneapot is during the past "a
hours by friends very close to the
Mortified man. Mr.. HeatwoIe is said
to be preparing document which
is expected to strike athwart the poll
teal armament w it'll the effect of a
meteor. In other words, Mr.. Heatwoles
letter of announc cement, if issued as
it is in process of preparation, will be
of vigorous, &C Nntroversal character,
and will possibly asssail directly or in
directly other can didates.
Mr. Heatwole is, expected to come
out as reform e. candidate of an
extremely radical character and may
have something to say relative to the
lid question in Minnesota.
Reports that havt, been coming from
the vicinity of Mortified have re-
suited in making the place the politi-
cal storm center just now and Mr.
Heatwole's movement are being close
ly watched.
His candidacy would probably result
in rallying of the Third district to
his support

PAY ROAD TAX IN CASH
SYSTEM ADVOCATED BY OLM-
STEAD COUNTY MAN.
Mr.. Robert Hall Is the Supe rintsn dent
of Highways In His Bsiiiwiok,
His Suggestions.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A system OF country road repairing
similar in many respects to the sec
ton system on railroads is advocated
by Robert Hail. superintendent of
highways of Olmstead county, who at
tended the good roads association
meeting in st. Paul last week.
Have every taxpayer turn in his
road tax in cash." says Mr.. Hall, "and
then when the money is apportioned
among the townships, have the town
board appoint one man as road work
er, giving him full power to make all
necessary repairs throughout the year.
This does away with the ''road-spoil-
ing" parties of armers, who invar
iably attempt to work out their road
tax in wet weather and ruin the
road.
Instead of having a dozen path
masters in each township, this would
provide one man who could become
expert, as all his time would be de-
voted to the work. He would have
his regular crew of men, certain ma
chinery, and i'm short time would be
able to evolve methods of repairing
roads that must necessarily reduce
the cost Olmsted county will have
about $4,000 for road repairing this
coming season. This would allow $40
a mile for the roads. Under this
new system, which l have advocated
and which is to be tested in Olmsted
county, | venture to say half that
fund can be saved, and the work
done far better than by the old path
master system"
Blue Earth county's opportionment
is $l0,44S.l0. The number of pupils
is 5,499.

HIS TRAVELS IN EUROPE
Mr.. Gilbert Guttersen Delivers Yer,
interesting Lecture.

The Hanska Herald has this to say
of the lecture delivered there by Hon.
Gilbert Guttersen:
"For two hours Hon. Gilbert Gut
tersen led his audience in magma.
ton from one European city to an
other, telling things of such intense
interest that all followed him with
ease and pleasure. The manners, GUS
toms, and ways of doing and living
of the Italians, Swiss, French, Ger
mans, Scandinavians and English,
were graphically and truthfully set
forth. 1t was educating to hear how
he told of the historic romances of
Italy, the simple, happy life in
Switzerland, the gaudy and snowy
architecture of France, the thrift and
progress of Germany, the sturdy con-
tented people of Norway and closing
with few words about the beauty
of Scotland and the poor of London.
Indeed Mr.. Guttersen's story was so
simple and straightforward that all
seemed for the time to be living in
the cities and countries whereof he
was speaking"
On Saturday evening Mr.. Guttersen
will deliver his lecture in Lake Crys-
tai for the benefit of the W. C. T. U.

From Tuesdays Daily.
j. NJ. Wiser, one of the best known
young men in Mankato, is at st.
Joseph's hospital suffering from the
effects of self inflicted bullet wound.
Mr.. Wiser's condition was discovered
late last night when his father, P.
X. Wiser, went to his sons room for
the purpose of ascertaining if the
young man was in need of anything.
The father observed blood stains on
the bed clothes and he at once sus-
pected the cause. A doctor was sum-
moned Immediately. The physician
made an examination and found that
a thirty eight calibre bullet from
Smith & Wesson revolver owned by
P. X. Wiser had entered the chest
P. X Wiser had entered the left chest
the collar bone,' piercing the lung
in its travels, and passing clear
through the body, came out just in
side the shoulder blade. The bullet
passed through the wall at the head of
the bed and dropped down between
the partitions where it was found to-
day by Louis Wiser, brother of
j. M. Wiser, who came from st. Paul
this morning. The attending physician
took charge of the revolver and the
patient was removed to st. Josephs
hospital where he is receiving the
best of care. The doctor states that
the bullet was DETECTED in its course
else it must surely have struck the
heart or large blood vessel, with
an instant fatal results, and that the
ball penetrated neither is miracle.
Mr.. Wiser informed the doctor that he
shot himself at three o'lcock yesterday
afternoon and the wounds when ex-
amined last night had the appearance
of being several hours old. The at
tending physician stated today that
if blood poisoning does not set in
Mr.. Wiser may recover. The wound is
a very dangerous one.
Mr.. Wiser has been i'll for several
years and during the past few days
he has been much cast down and des-
pondent over his physical condition.
He went to bed yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock and shortly after
ward he shot himself. He sat up in
bed, muffled the revolver before pull
ing the trigger so that the report
could not be heard in the rooms be-
low. Mr.. Wiser has a great many
friends who will regret to learn OF
the sad affair and the family has the
sympathy of all who know them.
