the city and about $50 names secured.
At two mintes to four O'Clock Mon
day afternoon Mr. Larson, almost
breathless, stepped into the Office of
the county auditor to file his peti-
tion. Fabrick supposed Of course that
he was g candidate for treasurer and
demanded cigar then and there. It
was not until an hour afterwards that
our very efficient county auditor learn
ed from one Of his clerks that Mr.
Larson had filed his petition for au-
ditor and not treasurer. The work
had been done in less than an hour.
Two minutes later Mr.. Larson could
not have filed his petition at all.
Mr.. Larson is well known in a po-
litical and business way over the
county. He was county auditor for
several years, but was defeated by
circumstances nearly four years ago.
after one of the hardest fights in the
ANNALS Of the history Of Ward county.
Mr.. Larson made an excellent record
while he was county auditor, and he
has a host of friends. He will make
a creditable showing in the present
battle, it is predicted by his admirers.

L. A. Larson has shied his castor

Mr.. Larson Is candidate for the

Ward county and win oppose the pres

Mr.. Elliott. This will make "a three
handed fight.
Mr.. Larson had intended making a
fight against Nedrude for county treas
urer and in fact his petition had been
circulated and literally signed. Mr..
Nedrud got busy, so the story goes,
and induced Mr.. Larson to side step
and come out for another nomination,
thus giving Mr.. Nedrud clear track
for his office.
Mr.. Nedrud's friends Joined with
those Of Mr.. Larson and at three
O'Clock Monday Mr.. Larson decided to
become candidate for auditor. Six
or seven petitions were hustled over

Scott arrived from Grand Forks two
days prior to when the the fttook place

Bachelor Patiently
Waiting for Lena
How Duluth Bachelor Was Weazeled Out of His Hard
Earned Money--Story Had Thrilling Effect
on J. j. Somers--Wrtes Poem

The following article, taken from
the Duluth Evening Herald of recent
date, will NO doubt cause many Of
the bachelor readers of the Indepen-
dent to extend their heartfelt sym
pathy to poor Math Nuranen who
was treated in a shameful manner by
the woman whom he hoped to lead to
the altar. The story has such an
effect on our critic poet, Mr.. J. j.
Sommers, that he broke. out again
with humorous poem, which follows
the article. The story is good one
and so is the poem.
"There was r. waintin' at the sta
tion." The Waiting at the Church"
song needs but little modification to
fit the plight of Math Nuanen, Du-
luth Finn, who each morning for the
past week has early gone to the union
depot to greet with open arms and
smiling countenance the bride-to-be.
who with coy and maidenly reserve
continued to keep Math waiting with
rueful face and aching heart.
The story of the missing maiden is
full of pathos. The wooing and APP
parent winning was done in far away
Finland. With the consent of the mai
den to become his bride acting as a
spur to his ambition, Math Nuranen
treked to America, the land of the
free, and proceeded to close tight his
purse strings that stray ,sheckels
might lodge therein safely. When he
had saved the necessary money Math
sent for the maid. All, but more, to
make glad her heart and to show that
he had already imbibed the ideas of
the new land, he sent her gold watch
and ring, and also a new and Won
derful hat. That would surely tickle
her woman's vanity
Alas, how badly Math Nuranen was
mistaken!
To be sure, the maiden crossed the
board Atlantic She was fond Of ira
vel But she married in Mionessen.

man than you has won my heart"
She neglected to return the passage

watch and ring, or the wonderful new
hat. seem to bring compunctions to
her conscience.
But hold; a ray of light came into
TIE dark and melancholy life Of Math.
A few days ago he received a letter
from the maid saying that she had
tired Of her Monessen, Pa, fame and
that she longed again for the steady
company and the confding words Of
Math. Math went out and raised
enough dust to forward the price of
the fare from Monessen TO Duluth. He
even included the price Of Pullman
berth in his subscription.
Then he began to count the DAYS
until the girl he had courted in Fin
land would step off the train at Du-

luth and leap with joyous exclamation
into his waiting arms. Again he was
doomed to bitter disappointment. A
week of laden hours has droned it's
weary length away and each train has
failed to disgouge from its crowded
depths any one that locks like Maths
old time steady
Sadly, but with hope still combat
ting his dread forbodings, does Math
wait at the station. When the train
is in, when there is no chance that tho
maid has become lost in the shuttle.
Math repairs to the railway Offices and
sadly makes inquiries. Thus does
sorrow ride heavily upon the soul
of Math.
The railway men have not the couf-
age to tell Math their conY1eOooas-
that the maiden in the case Is a 1cAle
bird, loving bright plumage, gold
watches and rings, and money wtthaas
but sad to relate, not Math.

Prof. D. E. Willard, head of the de-
partment Of geology, has in progress
at the present time a number Of very
interesting pot experiments with soil.
The aim is to determine, from the
standpoint Of soil as a mere medium
Of plant growth, which elements are
essential or detrimental. With this
object in view he has several series
of parafbine pots containing ground
granite, glass, tile, limestone and soil
In these he has planted wheat, and
is obtaining a remarkable growth even
in the poorest medium. He also has
a series of pots containing flax-sick
soil and is trying to determine wheth-
er or not there is any principal pres
ent which is detrimental TO other
plants.
The total number of women stu
dents. has increased from 1923 to 127
this year, making a total gain Of 80
per cent.

lege life is to some a four years loaf.
while to others it is a period of hard
training for life work. The object Of
a college is not merely to load the
student with certain facts, but of.
history, science, etc, but to train him
in the power of observation and fit
him to distinguish between the inn
portant and the trivial. The student
cannot gain this by absorption. 1t.
must be obtained by good hard cons
cientious work. Prof McArdla said
that the motto Of our colleges should
be 'Let no one to whom hard study

his power to make stronger and better
his institution. Above all things per-
severance is necessary, even against
the greatest odds.
Prof. j. G. Mcdowell, former pro-
fessor of agronomy, visited at the col
lege the past week. He states that he
is very we'll pleased with his new oc-
cupation as travelling expert on farm

He says that there are many open,

culturists, and he is looking out for
capable men.

pETRIFlEp TREES.

When a tree dies in a forest and
remains standing it does not become
dry and seasoned, but absorbs watcr
and becomes sap-soaked. The. wate
absorbed contains mineral mater in
solution, which, when the water evap-
crates, is left in the pores Of the
wood. The wood does not change inte
stone, but decays, leaving The miaera,
substances that were IN the water,
to replace the woody tissue. Thus
we may have petrifed or stona trunks
and logs of exactly the sanlc form
as was the tree.
