If there was ever evidence that
man was on the run it was shown
last Friday when the statement was
made in the Journal that Mr.. Serum
gard claimed that the druggists had
combined against him to defeat him.
The article read as follows:
Estates Attorney serumgard is pre-
pairing to make vigorous fight for re-
election. The word having gone out
that the drug stores have combined
to defeat him, Mr.. Serumgard will
throw down the gauntlet to them, and
If there is anything in signs there
will be a hot time in the county dur
ing the next three weeks. The fight
ing qualities of the states attorney are
sufficiently well known to assure his
opponents the worth Of their money,
The Issue will be presented clearly
to the people and it will be for them to
decide what they want"
Following the article comes this
statement signed by all the druggists
in Devils Lake:

The Indianapolis News, generally

The Indianapolis News, generally
accepted as the ablest Independent
newspaper in the middle west, in a
recent issue said in effect regarding
Mr.. Bryan, that since his previous
candidates. for the presidency he has
changed sufficiently to meet the poll
tics of the times, that he is no longer
to be represented as a frebrand or an
anarchist with cloven hoof. 1t cred
it's him with having fairly earned the
right to serious treatment, but for all
that and it's personal admiration for
Mr.. Bryan in a general sense, it de-
clared, "He has never yet demonstrated
presidential capacity; never yet freed
himself from demagoguery and never
yet has shown that there is single vi
tai principle for which he would do,
dare and die. His past cannot be lived
down and it is by his record, not by his
present professions, that his character
must be tested.'

St. Johnsbury Loses.

At the close Of the Caledonia county
court, Judge Alfred A. Hall, of St.
Adams, issued pro forma decree in
favor of the state board of health in
the case brought by the board against
the village of ST. Jonhsbury to prevent
the use of, for domestic purposes Of
water taken from the Passumpic river,
which is the chief source of the village
water supply. The decree overrules
the demurrer to the compliments bill
in equity and adjudged the bill suffi-
cient. The village will now carry the
case to the supreme court on eNcep-
tions. This is an important case as it
is the first proceeding brought to en-
force an order of the board of health
under authority of act No. lis Of the
Acts Of 1902, IS amended by act No.
I 1879 Of the Acts of 1904. Having found
that the water of the Passumrsic river
was contaminated, the board of health
| prohibited its use for domestic pur-
poses unless it was boiled or filtered
or treated in some other way, but the
order was ignored, whereupon a bill in
chancery was brought by States At

visited, as now definitely on the wing.
The official notification to James S.
Sherman, Republican Vice-Presldential
nominee, at Utica on August Is, was
an event of particular interest last
week. M. She~msn was notified by
Senator l,c1To-Tf3 of Michigan at noon
and responded with few very brief
remarks endorsing the statements
made by Mr.. Taft in his speech OF &C.
ceptance. He approved tariff revision
and favored protection.

Boy Tied by Strange Man.
The sheriff's department at St. AL
bans is working on one Of the most
mystifying cases it has ever handled
and no clue has been obtained Or pos
sibe theory advanced. Wednesday
evening Aaron Britch, IA years old,
was sitting on the steps of the home
of B. H. Shangraw, 18th whom he
resided, when man walking by asked
him to come for a walk. The man
then seized the boy, took him into
buggy nearby, and drove rapidly to
Green's corners. Here the boy was tied
hand and foot and left on the railroad
station platform. Early Thursday
morning he attracted the attention Of
R. A. Regain, who released him. 1t
was at first thought that the story was
made up by the boy to account for his
absence overnight, but Regain asserts
that he found the boy tied. The boys
father is living, but the lad had not
seen him for eight years and would not
know him.
Post Office Safe Blown.
The post office at South Strafford, in
Orange county, was entered by burg
lars early Monday morning August II,
and a sum estimated at $500 was
stolen. The postoffice is located in the
store of S. P. Buell., who is postmas'
ter. Entrance was effected by forcing
open the front door, the tools having
been secured by breaking into The
blacksmith shop of Henry Rhodes. The
safe was blown open and stamps
money orders, and cash belonging K
the store were taken. No one hearC
the explosion although there are houses
near by and another store across the
street No suspicious characters have
been seen about town and there is ap
parently no clew to the robbers. n
one person slept in the store although
it has been customary for a clerk to d
SO until this summer. No stamps wer
left for business and it was necessar
to borrow some Monday from a neigh
boring post office.
