SCOTT HOUSE ON THIRD
STREET SOUTH SOL D

is currently reported upon the
streets that Mr.. and Mrs. Law
renee Nash have purchased the
handsome home on third street south
of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Scott of Port
Arthur, Canada. The deal is all
closed excepting the transfer of the
deed which was sent for signature,
The consideration is private, but the
price paid is reported somewhere
about $4,000. We hope the sale of
this property don't mean the weaving
of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Scott from
Grand Rapids permanently.

FRANCIS E. McG0VERN CANDIDATE FOR
US. SENATOR.

There has been considerable talk in
reference to Francis e. McGovern
withdrawing from the senatorial race
and he denies the report in tile fol-
lowing statement:
MEN OF WEALTH AND SENATORsHIP.
Repeatedly since / announced my
candidacy a few months ago for the
Republican nomination for the office
of United States senator, unauthor-
lied and false statements have been
made that | might withdraw from
the race and cease to be a candidate.
Especially during the past few days
these rumOrs have been diligently cir
culated. | desire to put an end to
them now and | hope for all time
There is no foundation whatever for
these statements and absolutely no
truth in them. / shall remain in this
contest to the end. | am in daily re-
celpt of letters of encouragement and
support far beyond my expectations
and | konW of no reason why, among
all the candidates for this office, |
should be so persistently singled out
as the subject of these unWarranted
and false reports.
"Including myself, four candidates
for the senate are now in the field,
THREE ARE MEN OF LARGE WEALTH
In some quarters it seems to be taken
for granted that man OF moderate
means has no right to become candi-
date for this office, or if he has been
indiscreet enough to enter the race
that he should withdraw. This may
explain, if not the source at least the
inspiration of these rumors.
81 do not accept this view. Neither
the candidates already announced nor
the announcement of new candidates
nor the withdrawal of other candi-
dates now in the field will altar my
decision in this matter. All that
ask is fair treatment"
Francis E. McGovern.

Messrs. w. III. Reeves and Frank
Stahl, of this city, have both an
nounced themselves as candidates for
register of deeds and sheriff on the
democratic ticket. They are both
well known wheel horses in their

county in public positions before.
They have many friends who will be
glad to aid them in their ambitions.

Thursday, July 2 1908.

John A. Aylward, city attorney of
Madison and two years ago the Demo
cratic nominee for governor, today
announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
He determined to make the race again
on the assumption that Democratic
chances would be better this year
than in 1906.

WHAT WOULD IT
BE WITHOUT HER

If there were 20 women, men would
have no object in life; their mustaches
would cease to interest them: they
would not care Chinaman whether
their collars were ironed or not: they
would have nobody to nurse them
when they had the toothache, or to
keep them from believing they we're
going t. die when an old-fashioned
stamach-ache had: the grip upon
them. There would be nobody to take

Rep: THE Telegram is for Hatton,
for Endorsement at the September

Fl MARRIAGE LICENSES
GRANTED In JUNE

The number of marriage licenses
issued in June this year is one less
than the county clerk issued last year.
This is probably due to the stringency
of the money market this year. AS
times are growing better the number
of appIicatiOnS will increase.

likely to postpone the Albany County
Teachers institute until the Christmas
holidays. She has received the sane.
ton of the board of county commits

that the change will be made. The
State Teachers association will meet

Round Table Conference of the SUI
perintendents and Principals, when
noted educators from Boston, Kansas
City and other places will be present

SUGGESTS SEAT SALE
FOR THE HANNA FUND

Clark Pelton. the superintendent Of
the Boston and Wyoming Lumber COM
pany, who is interested in the raising
of a large fund at Laramie for the
benefit of the sufferers by the mine ex-
plosions at Hanna, suggests that the
benefit concert to be given by the Uni
versity Girls Glee and Mandolin clubs
at the Opera House next Thursday
night, under the supervision of Mrs.
Mary Slavens Clark, the director of the
school Of music at the university, that
instead Of the hundred or two hundred
dollars likely to be realized in the
ordinary way the sum should be a thou
sand dollars. He believes that an
auction sale of seats would bring a
large sum and proposes that a couple
of hundred of the best seats in the
auditorium be disposed of to the high,
est bidder. The concert, he declares,
will be a splendid one and the city
should turn out en- masse to swell the
Hanna sufferers fund.

The trial of Annie Bruce, charged
with her mother at Evanston with the
murder of her father, James Bruce,
last summer, when he died from eating
pie that had been treated with strych-
nine, was resumed at that place this
morning. On Saturday the girl was on
the stand and declared that the dlleg.
ed confession introduced by the state
was not true. She admitted signing a
blank piece of paper when she was
suffering untold agonies with her head,
but says she made no confession. The
state has concluded it's direct evidence
and the defense resumed today. The
case will probably go to the jury to-
morrow or Wednesday. Among the i'm
portant witnesses for the state was
Prof. H. G. Knight of this city, who
analysed the stomach of the dead man
and its contents, and it was upon his
analysis, when he discovered the pres
