A Frostburg Boy In the Northwest.


The Minneapolis Sunday journal of
recent date tells Of
Thomas Van Lear. who by polling ll,753
votes IN the mayoralty election, made pOlltl-
cal Minneapolis sit up and take notice, has

Thirty wears ago Mr. Van Lear was trap
per boy in a Mary land mine, where his duty
was to watch the ar doors to safeguard the
miners in the shafts; to-day he has become
one of the most Ia ed-Of men in MinneapO-
lis and the North West, because of his fight
on the public Ownership ticket. After pass
ing through the ranks of the workers his
duties have become the safeguarding OF TAR

extending to the Pacific coast

been miner. soldier in the regular army,
maChnist Worlds Fair guard labor leader
and finally mayoralty candidate who polled
within 900 votes of the winning candidate.
In 1902 fifteen years after Joining his first
labor union, he ran for Governor of Mime
sofa when the Socialist party was first
launched in the North West, but received
then only scattering vote.
Mr.. Van Lear has pleasing personality

Our acreage planted at the present time is

should be forthcoming at that time. And
it will be a substantial one.

He Was the Man.

Last Saturday afternoon a rabbit -
young, tender, nicely dressed, and
securely wrapped, was found just in
side the front door, so Broadway. 1t
had not lain there long, for indoor testi-
mony went to show that both egress and
ingreSs had been recent. Whoever
therefore, had deposited the rabbit had
opened without ringing. Whence came
the rabbit, and who did it?-were ques-
tions puZzling enough for Sherlock
Holmes. Clearly the rabbit was an
anonymous contribution to the JOURNAL,
but why didn't the contributor, as a
guarantee of good faith,' if not for
publication, sign his name? Hey? The
plot deepened. But, bark Who al

The same man came by - Broadway
Saturday, shortly afternoon, clad in the
uniform of hunter and decorated with
the regalin of a marksman. His gun
was on his shoulder; thence apparently
hung string of game. He stopped and
in sign-language tone said-"4S, pins 81,
equals so" But on the wrapper it was
written-"SO, less as equals 3D." This
indicated that "32" was merely a diff
ferential. The JOURNAL knew what
$50 meant; then who lives at "4S?'

said he was going hunting and returned
loaded with game. Who else could have
