The question as to whether J. F. Jacobson
was a citizen raised this week. but has
since been disposed of by proof that Mr.. Jacob
sons father took out his second papers, tho he
did so under the name of Nelson.

The commercial clubs of the state going
to ask the next Legislature to appropriate $780,
900 for the purpose of advertising the state.
The present immigration bureau has done
celent work. but has been hampered by lack of
funds. ..t.-.....
TAD Hartman has gone to work a
railroad time keeper at $75 month, and "Ted"
a week. Starting in this way each will prove
himself his fathers son in the course of twenty
or thirty years.
The Starbuck Times is authority for the
statement that liver J. Lee, recently nominated
for the Legislature, is not citizen of the United
. States. AS there is other nominee from
Pope county, it would seem that the situation

Mr.. McC1eary has declared for tariff revi-

up from Minneapolis where contest was in |

their eligibility questioned on the ground that
the constitution forbid a member of the legis- |,

their salaries for the term for which they are
