In fact it Is declared that the scores,

on as likely to head the list or At

st. Petersburg, April 4.-The Rus
sian government is considering the ia
suancc Of statement formally rec
ognizmg Chlnas sovereignty in Man
churia so far as is consistent with the
purely administrative rights of Rus
sia in the railroad zone. This Is
thought to be the best way out of the
Harbin difficulty, which has been
brought to an issue by the refusal Of
Fred -. Fisher, the American consul
at Harbin to recognize the Russian

ton of Harbin and Chailar involves
further encroachment upon the integ-

BAD FIRE AT ST. LOUIS.

The business section of St. Louis
had very narrow escape from a
general conhagration early last
Thursday morning. Only the prompt
and efficient work of the ST. Louis
fire department and citizen volunteers
prevented the spread of the flames.
About 5 a. m. fire was discovered in
the rear of Hofstetter's bakery. The
bakery and adjoining buildings wers
of inhammable material and by the
time the department reached the scene
the bakery and Alexander's feed barn
were on fire Freeland's store and
Dr. Voughn's office were threatened,
but only slightly damaged. The bak-
cry and feed barn were entirely de-
stroyed.
St. Louis citizens are free in their
praise of their fire department. The
latter grappled with an exceedingly
hard problem in stopping the fire, but
proved themselves fully capable of
meeting the situation. What might
have easily converted in a fire result
ing in thousands o.. dollars of dam
age was checked and extinguished at
loss not far above $4,000. >Ibe
buildings were partly covered with
insurance. a

HE WENT TO SHEPHERD

7. J. Clark, of Alma, an ardent sup
porter of George Covell for represen-
tative in congress, was in town last
Thursday in the interest of the Trav-
erse City candidate. Thomas came up
here without a microscope. field glass
or any other device, looking for Covell
sentiment. He interviewed" several
of our prominent citizens in a futile
effort to stampede" 'em for George.
If Mr. Clark is looking for. Covell
sentiment he had better get Just as
far from Isabella county as possible.
Mr.. Clark was very affable and
would graciously accept steer" to
a man who was known to be a Dodds
admirer. After he had interviewed"
several rabid supporters of Isabella's
favorite candidate, some one directed
him to MIR. o. L. Burdick, the local
of Mr.. Dodds' campaign. AT
this juncture Clark took a large turn-
BILE to the fact that he was being made
the victim of huge joke, and he took
occasion TO catch the first train out
of town, fully convinced that hunting
for Covell sentiment in Isabella coun-
~ IS like peddling peanuts in grave
yard-mighty slow business.

We believe it will be a source OF
pleasure to the many friends of Fran
els II. Dodds, of Mt Pleasant, in this
county, to learn that he will be a
candidate for the nomination to the
office of congressman from the
eleventh district. The writer knows
OF no person whom he could more
conscientiously support for this posi-
tion than Mr.. Dodds. lie is held in
tn highest esteem in his home coun-
ty. and in fact everywhere he is
known. Mr.. Dodds is leader at the
bar Of his own county, Isabella, which
is one OF the most populous and pro-
gressive in the district He is a man
OF high ideals, answering honesty
and firm convictions. and the voters Of
Missaukee county and the eleventh
district can do no better than TO place
their names on Mr.. Dodds' petitions.
