Legislative Announcement.

I wish to announce TO the voters of
the 57th Legislative District that I am
candidate for the nomination for re-
preventative subject to the decision of
the republican voters at the primary
election held Sept. 10Th next. I am
prompted to do this by the solicita-
ton of friends but more especially by
the belief that the splendid vote I re-
ceived two years ago, when I was too
busy with my farm work to devote
any time to the campaign, is an indi-
cation that the voters of the district
are disposed to be fair and will recog-
nize the right of Traverse county to
one of the three members to which
the district is entitled. I have been a
resident here for the past thirty years,
and most of you are therefore in a
position to know from personal know
ledge whether or not am worthy of
your support. So far as my time will
permit I shall endeavor to see as many
as can and talk the situation over
with you personally, but it will be i'm.
possible to see all as the time is short
and the crops on my farm must be
cared for. In case receive the nom
nation and election which I seek,
/ shall endeavor to faithfully represent
the district and give you no cause to
regret your choice. I ask for your
fair consideration of my candidacy
and your vote if you conclude that
Traverse county is enUitled to re-
and that am worthy of
the honor of serving YOU
Respectfully yours,
P. JoHANsoN.

fire danger which has threatened the
territory to the north and west OF
Wausau for week or more and which

tories, saw mills, the tannery of the
United States Leather company,

most of the residences of the work

ready has been laid from the farthest
hydrants and the steam fire engine
has been provided with a team ready
ut any time to drive to this section of
the city.
Teams have furrowed the prairie
and backfiring has been done.
The flames have been plainly seen
at night this side of Rib mountain,
which is about three miles southwest
of the city, and the wind is driving
them steadily toward the city,

CRISIS APPEARS
TO Be PASSED
Range Settlements Fairly
Safe From Fires.
CONSTANT WATCH KEPT

Hundreds of Men on Guard at All
Times, Pipe Lines Laid About the
Suburbs and 5ackfirins Resorted
Te-Grand Marais Safe for the Pres
snt, Although a High Wind Would
Place 1t in Crest Danger.
Duluth, Sept. 11.-With pipe lines
laid about the suburbs, hundreds of
,aen constantly on guard and with
back Ares started on the south side of
Oil the large towns the range settle
mosss are now fairly safe from the
range fyes and the crisis appears to
DO passed. However, the danger will
not be over until a drenching rain
comes s.....-
The steamer Gopher has reached
Grand Marais and reports from there
are to the effect that the town is safe
for the present, although a high wind
would place it in great danger. @.-
The work of re-establishing com
munication by road and wire between
various towns, it is believed, new may
proceed without fear that a renewal
Of fire will wipe out all that may be
accomplished.
Soon it is expected that only a deep,
blackened scar will remain upon this
part of the state to indicate the ter
rible experience and the disaster that
The last five days have brought.
Following charges that alien work
men started the fires in the vicinity of
Chisholm the militia on guard at the
kcene have been ordered to take espe-
Eial precautions to prevent mob VIC
lence. The men suspected Of having
been the incendiaries have not been
captured. The spirit of happiness over
deliverance from the fire peril is like
ly to dispel further effort at vengeance.
Excitement at Several Points.
There was a hard fight at the Ma
honing mine. The strong northwest
wind swept the fire down on the min
Ing location and for several hours it
was seriously threatened. Four loco
motives were kept busy pumping Wa
ter and several hundred men were
employed fighting the flames under
the direction of President T. F. Cole
of the Oliver Mining company. They
we're finally successful in beating
back the fires and the location and
the valuable mining property is safe.
There was another fierce battle at
the Glen and Clark mines at CHS
holm. These locations were reported
burned In the first report of the fire
sent out, but were later reported safe.
They were seriously threatened again,
but about five hundred men employed
In the mines fought back the flames.
Eveleth also had scare. The fire
came to within about mile of the
town, but 100 men were sent out to
beat 1t back and there is little danger
that it will reach the town.
Fire encroached on the Silver mine,
near Virginia, also, and this was the
scene of another hard battle. A crew
of 1875 men was successful in fighting
back the flames and saving the build
ings about the mine.
Lipton's clothing store at Mountain
Iron burned, but the fire was not
result of the forest fires. 1t created
great excitement in the little village,
but there is no danger of the town
being destroyed.

The last session of Congress,
strictly Republican, cost this
country $1,OO8, 900, 600 and left a
deficit of 100000, 900. Now, this
is the showing made by the party
that claims to be the guardian of
every thing good. Likewise, the
same party, in Kentucky has an
empty treasurery and not able to
pay for an extra session of the
Legislature to meet and carry out
the party's pledge to the temper
ance people, so says Governor
Wilson. If you believe in such
extravaganza vote to approve it.

to maintain which, withina few
years, will more than repay the
difference. Believing that Adair

sirous of such connection on the

We are informedssthat some of
the people interested in the build
ing of the pike from Greensburg
to the Adair county line are in
favor of making a few changes
in the location,of the road at such
points as will shorten the road
but will steepen the grade. While
we have no moneyed interest in
the building..of this road and the
furthur fact thatsit is not within
our county, yet we feel that the
News is not tresspassing when
it offers few reasons to those
who are footing the bills, for the
lowest grade possible. AS we see
it a great mistake will be made
by making the proposed changes
which, as we understand, short
ems the distance about one-half
mile and raises the grade from
two to about eight per cent. No
road is better than its weakest
points and in building for heavy
traffic, as certainly this road will
receive, the grade is one of the
great points Of worth. While at
present the road does not con-
meet with Columbia, yet in due
time it will have such connection
and then we can hope to receive a
larger part Of the wagon traffic
that now reaches Campbellsville
