upon falsehood and Misrepresentation
must continue to juggle the facts and
presume upon the ignorance of the
voters.
Governor Craw ford S defense on the
ground that former years showed an
equal or greater tax in mills is truly
mendacious. He knows that the
valuation of the property in the state
has more than doubled, aud that three
mill tax in 1907 brought more money
into the treasury than would a six mill
levy ten years ago. Crawford knows
this, but in his speech he doesn't tell
1t all, presuming thus to cast unjust
odium on his predecessors.
The fact that four mill tax will be
necessary ia 1908 is another proof of
insurgent insincerity in showing the
legislative years only. Despite the
tWine plant levy will be out of the way
this years TAX will be only one-fourth
mill less than that of 1907, and still be
insufficient to take care of the out
standing obligations
Really, we don't see how anyone
can be fooled by their fake argument
but it is the best they can do. y J. T..

Patrick Hand died Monday morn
Ing OF heart failure. he had been In
poor health all winte' and ia the last
two or three weeks has had some pre-
monitory sy mtoms of the disease that
| caused his death. He was active &c
| the last, however, aud ate his break
fast with = relish only an hour before
he died.
Patrick Hand was born In County
Roscommoo, Ireland, In February,
1886. AT sixteen years of age he left
Ireland aud came to the Uaited States,
settling first at Dubuque. Iowa. Here
he met the faithful wife who survives
him. They were married May rs, 1862
and the next year came to Dakota
During the summer of 1869 they lived
and worked in the viciaity of Vermil-
lion, and in the fall fled on a home
stead just at the edge of ''the bench, y
Northwest of Elk Point and near the
Clay county line. This has been their
home ever since, until some five years
ago they moved into Elk Point. Mr..
Hand and the late Eli B. Wilson were
the only settlers between Elk Point
and Vermillion at that time.
The oldest boy, Thomas, was born in
Clay county, in 1868. 1he homestead
was the birthplace Of all the other
children, fourteen In all. Two are
dead, James, who died here some six
years ago and Redmond, who died In
Alaska two years ago. The living
children, in the order of their ages,
are as follows: Thomas, Kal.spell.
Mont; Katharine, nun 10 ST Joseph's

George and Charles at Mardo: Patrick,
Jr. in ST. Paul, MINI Joseph, at
home.
Mr.. Hand was member of the
territorial legislature Ia 1915. He was
a sturdy pioneer, generous and kind, a
rugged, hearty man such as those
early days produced. His is another
name to add to the rapidly increasing
list of the early day settlers who are
passing to the great beyond. The
funeral will be held tomorrow Friday
morning at the Catholic church in this
city. The burial will be at Fairview
cemetery, near the old homestead
where Mr.. Hands father aud mother
and son james are buried.

CANDIDATE FOR STATE AUDITOR

G.. K. Warner, a Hamlin count,
editor, has announced himself as Z
candidate for state auditor at the june
primaries. This office is usually con
ceded to some newspaper man and Mr.
Warner is we'll qualified for the posi-.
tion. For twelve years he has been
either q member of the republican
state central committee or of the
Hamlin county committee, for good
share of the time chairman of the
latter. He was delegate TO the
Chicago convention that nominated
Pres. Roosevelt. He will make a lively
campaign and should receive the
nomination. The text of his announce
ment is as follows:
Having received numerous reuues' S
from friends throughout the state urg-
ing me to become candidate for state
auditor, and pledpiug me their sup
port, have concluded to become can
didate subject to the primary election
to be held in June
81 am republican and firmly believe
IN the Roosevelt policies and favor
the candidacy of Secretary Taft for
the presidency, believing him To be
in full accord with said policies and
being the presidents choice for his
successor.
For United States senator, | favor
the nomination and election OF Hon
orable A. b. Kittredge, recognizing
that he has brought honor 10 the state
and has discharged the duties of his
Office faithfully, and that he is better
equipped by reason OF his service and
prestige for the position and can
accomplish more for the state than any
new man, though he may possess
equal ability. Furthermore, avlng
faithfully served one term, Re is en-
titled by right to a second term.
IF nominated and elected, | would
devote my time 10 the office. | am
absolutely in favor of just and equal
taxation, and as a me mber of the
board Of assessment and equalization,

NURSERY PRECAUTIONS.
infants Nose and Ears Should Be
Thoroughly Washed.

Infants Nose and Ears Should BE
Thoroughly Washed.
Be careful Of baby's nose and ears
In winter. The ears are especially sen
sitive to cold, and most serious condi-
lions may arise during severe wealth
er. To avoid any trouble give an In
fant's ears a thorough washing every
day while the little one is in the bath
In cleaning these delicate organs do
not tnjure the drum. When removing
the wax to prevent any such accident
use new, nice hairpin, an article least
likely to harm the sensitive mechan-
ism.
In preparing the hairpin for use
twist over the loop end piece Of soft
linen. Never push this cleanser too
far into the oridce and do not attempt
to take out wax that cannot be dis
tinctly seen, for certain amount is
necessary to protect the drum.
If this is done daily, there will be no
surplus wax to harden. II such con-
dition arises, however, there must be
no attempt at home treatment, but a
physician or specialist should be called.
Otherwise the temporary deafness may
become permanent.
1t cannot be too positively said that
nothing must be put into the ear, no
matter how simple you may think the
application The ear is too sensitive,
and Oil, glycerin or vaseline may do
serious damage.
Unfortunately for baby, cold IN
his head almost invariably settles La
his ears and nose. The latter is IN
comforta BILE, but not serious, and ordi-
nary precautions are likely to guard
the former. Not until he is two or
three years old should he go out Of
doors without his ears being covered.
There is practically no danger OF cold
In the ears while indoors except when
baby is permitted to be in direct
draft. This is one Of the most dan
gerous positions In which he can be
| placed
Stoppage In the nose Is prevented
usually by cleansing the nostrils every
| day precisely as the ears are done. Ii
baby has q cold In his head, little
vaseline may be rubbed into the nose
whenever he goes to sleep A little Of
| the grease should be put on the finger
and gently inserted In the nostrn.
