LIE NOAINo VI W. AOOAo
COUNTY MINNESOTA.
GENTLEMEN:
As it will not be possible, in the
short time given me. to see each
voter personally, 1 take the liberty
hereby to announce to you my can
didacy for Republican nomination
for County Auditor of ST. Louis
County at the coming Primaries
September goth, 1910.
With the exception of seven
years spent in Germany in COM
pleting my education, I have been
a resident of St. Louis County all
my life, having been born here in
1868.
I have been connected with the
County Auditors Office from 1895
to 1908, nearly eight years, as a
clerk and deputy, during which
time I became thoroughly familiar
with every branch of the work of
the Auditors Office, being at the
time of my resignation and for
several years prior thereto, Clerk
of County Commissioners.
Since that time have been in
the Insurance and Real Estate
business in Duluth. / have also

FOOTBALL pERILs FOR UNFIT.

uons of like rank are not represented
in the seasons list of dead and the
critically injured at football. OF the
big teams in the country that at West
Poin. lost Cadet Byrne, who died OF
his hurts, and that at Annapolis saw
Cadet Wilson disabled by fractured
vertebrae. Cadet Byrne received his
fatal injury when he returned to the
game in a weakened condition after
having been retired for a slighter hurt.
says New York World. From the
rolls of the football dead and of those
critically hurt it can be seen that the
majority of victims came from high
school teams and from amateur
elevens of irregular training. We
read of one death from lung trouble
due to exposure on the field, of an.
othe" from overexertion and of a stu.
dent of Dickinson seminary in Penn,
sylvania who was prostrated BY
stTychnine taken to stimulate his heart
action during a contest. All these
facts support the contention of those
unwavering advocates of the game
who contend that the supreme perils
OF football are chiefly for the unfit.
Perhaps it Is true that the direct road
t. a saving reform in football lies in a
more rigid regard for physical fitness
among players than in much tinkering
with the rules.

as can be held in the mouth" Some
practical reason accounts also for
such picturesque measures as Glove

the old gibe that it is the place

butter is sold by the yard, with the
answer that long thin rolls are the
form in which butter is most easily
sliced up for serving with under

Philadelphia reports fatality which
proves that care is highly necessary in
the inspection of live stock destined
Tor slaughter. A meat cutter in a re.
tall establishment was taken to one
or the city hospitals while suffering
from a mysterious disease. He told
the physicians that while he was cut
ting up meat splinter of bone few
against his lips and caused an abra-
sion. Soon his lip began to swell, and
as the swelling refused to yield to
treatment he applied for admission to
IA hospital, where he eventually died
after much suffering. An inquest and
post mortem was held, and after hear.
ing the report of the surgeons who
examined the victims body, the coro-
ner rendered verdict that death was
due to infection with anthrax, which is
commonly known as the foot and
mouth disease.

1t sounds like older and not better
times to hear of orders for the pursuit
OF pirates. The British ship Rowann-
moore reported that she was attacked
oy a piratical schooner in Bahaman
waters, and the United States govern
ment has directed that the revenue
cutter Window shall proceed from Gal
weston to the Bahamas in search of the
rover of the seas. Other cutters will
join the Window and, adds the dis
patch, for the first time in many
years American armed vessels will
search for pirates" This smacks more
OF the times of the buccaneers and the
black flag with skull and crossbones
flung out by sailing vessels directed by
skillful though wicked navigators than
OF the days of steam, wireless teleg-
raphy and other modern improve
ments. But a feet of modern revenue
cutters would make short work of any
pirate craft that offered resistance.

appeal to the range vote and as his
administrator of the Office has been
such that it has not entered the

come from the Democratic side.

The longer some men stay in
public office the larger grows their
list of friends. Such is the case
with VIM. J. Bates, more familiarly
known as Billy Bates, who
aspired to succeed himself to the
position of sheriff of this, the best
county in the state. The only
fault so far found with Bates is,
he has been there too long" and
on this lame excuse the voters of
the county are asked to turn down

The little republic of Costa Rica is
ordinarily the most peaceful of the
Central American countries and tries
to get along with the neighbors with
out trouble. But the invasion of Costa
Rica by force of troops from Nicara-
qua may spell a little excitement
down that way. Presumably the Mica
raguan soldiers are in pursuit of in
surgents who have taken refuge in
Honduras, but that is no way to treat
friendly nation. and naturally Costa
Rica will demand an explanation.

the practise. and the eyesight OF many
is affected by the strong fumes.

farmers to smoke the leaves OF the to.

the smoker awakes with a terrific
headache and feeling of utter ex-

often been caused by the immoderate
use OF these two weeds Rhubarb,
beet and even garden sage leaves are
all smoked by farmers, but are per
haps the least harmful OF substitutes
for tobacco.
