He Popped.
A gentleman who had been in Chi
cago only three days, but who had
been paying attention to a prominent
Chicago belle, wanted to propose. but
was afraid he would be thought too
hasty. He delicately broached the
subject as follows:
eff were to speak to you of mar
riage, after having only made your ac-
auaintance three days ago, what would
you say of it?"
'Well. should say never put off till
tomorrow that which should have been
done the day before yesterday"

There is, however, an active opposi-
ton to Mr.. Eberhart. One phase of
it is evidenced by the literary and
other activities of R. @. Dunn. An
even greater menace appears in the
reported dissatisfaction of J. F. Jacob
son with Governor Eberhart's leader
ship. 1t is now assumed that not only
will Mr.. Jacobson take leading part
in the convention to be called early in
the year by the Anti-Saloon league,
but that he intends to champion in
the Republican State convention the
cause of county option. What there
may be behind this is open to con-
lecture.

the Republican State convention the
cause of county option. What there
may be behind this is open to con-
lecture.
/ y +
In this connection W. E. Lees CO
quetting with the county option move
ment; his yelled advocacy of ton
mage tax, and his incipient candidacy
have more than passing significance;
for both Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Jacobson
are disposed to be friendly to Mr.. Lee.
It is to be noted that all this spells
trouble for the party organization as
at present constituted, which is domi-
mated by certain well-known twin city
politicians, whose policy is rather to
evade than to meet Issues, and who
are believed to represent certain in
terests which in the last two cam
paigns have had much to do with
shaping Republican policies, and de-
feat which followed.
The politicians referred to depre-
cate the idea of factional fight. They
insist that this is a time to heal sores,
not to raise new issues or to encour-
age scramble for the governorship.
They are inclined to favor Eberhart's
nomination, but if the party cannot
unite on him they suggest the nomi-
nation of Ripley Brewer of Stearns
county as an alternative. Mr.. Brewer
is understood to regard the PROPOSE
ton to become the candidate of the
organization with favor.
The latest authentic report is that
Auditor Iverson is candidate for re-
election, altho his friends still show
an inclination to prefer him for gov
ernor. Mr.. Iverson has already served
two terms, and has occupied Office
at the State capitol continuously since
1887. Other avowed candidates are
K. J. Wells of Breckenridge and
A. W. Thompson of Preston. Both
of these gentlemen have been actively
in the field for some time. Hugh R.
Scott of Hennepin county and Odin
Halden of Duluth have also been
spoken of. 81

So far on the Republican side the
men who are most in the public eye
are: first, Governor Eberhart, who by
reason of his occupancy of the posi-
tion, has the advantage of appearing
to have prior claim on public con-
sideration. That goes far. Naturally
people are inclined to accept the es-
tablised orddr, and in the matter of
the executive Office to look no further

Another gentlemen on whose polit-
ical ambition this laws puts damper
is Pierce Butler of St. Paul. 1t is said
that Butler had concluded to be a can

sition to Senator Hackney in the Mid

from holding any State Office, elective
or appointive during the term of his
regency.

The following interesting news
item comes from Lexington, Miss. /:
A startling piece Of news for
the people Of this town came today
when it was announced the Su-
|preme Court had reversed the de-
Icision Of the lower court here in
the case Of the City Of Lexington
VS.. Miss Mollie Hoskins. This was
a test case wherein the town was
suing Miss Hoskins because of the
fact that a part Of her lot is fenced
in and jutting into the street.
The town wished to regain this
property in order to widen the
streets. About half Of the homes
|of Lexington have grounds that
tend into the streets and this de-
Icision will affect the entire town,
as fences will now have to be NOV
led back and in some instances fif-
teen to twenty feet will have to be
given up to the streets, while other
buildings extend over the street
line and it is a question as to what
will happen in these cases, as no
doubt the town will claim all that
belongs to it. and the buildings
will either have to be moved or
torn down unless there proves To be
some way of cutting them off.

dress to the members to explain

great difficulty seems to be that
while the union farmers are willing

housed their cotton for this pur-
pose, aAy Of them undertake to
specify the exact day Of the month
upon which they wish to sell. This

of 5 Mills.
FOR A SIX YEAR TERM
Special Meeting Is Held to Discuss

The county board this afternoon
decided to submit to the voters of
the county proposition for the lev
wing of mill tax for a period of
six years, to be voted on at the ju-
dicial election, to be held June I.

sition carried, to the payment of the
outstanding Indebtedness, and the
otEer half to meet current expenses

day in discussing the finances of the
county, and various propositions
were talked of before it was conclud-
ed to submit this proposition.

The proposition will not be submit

to provide Il sufficient amount to NEE
the current expenses of the county
and to pay off the $1,000 indebt-
edness now outstanding.

600 additional revenue on the pres
ent assessment. The present revenue
is about $4,000 year, and the cost
of operating the county is abou,

MEETS DEATH I'm !
STOVE EXPLOSION
William Crane, Aged Resident of

i'm Fire i'm His Room.

William Crane, aged 60 met hor-
rible death yesterday afternoon about
) O'clock, being burned in a fire re-
sulting from the explosion of a gaso-
line stove. He resided in the rear of
$40 West Second street. He had
lighted the stove to cook his supper.
and either the can of gasoline or the
stove exploded. He battled. with the
flames, and ives terribly burned be-
fore he attempted to reach the street.
He fell in the dining room, while run
ming toward the front door. The fire
caused an alarm to the department,
and the firemen stumbled over Cranes
dead body. They thought at first that
it was a bundle of burned rags, so
greatly had the mans clothing and
flesh been burned. The fire caused
about $3.50 damage to the building.
Little is known of the victim of the
accident. He had no relatives in Day-
export.
