GRAND RUSH FOR A PLACE
Organized Labor Is Interested in the
State Commissionership.

Organized labor all over the state is
interesting itself in the position of la
Dor commissioner, and many petitions
are being prepared for favorites.
Minneapolis has two candidates in the
persons of John ODonnell, who held
the place under former Governor S.
r. Van SAINT. and John p. Kennedy,
who is identified with local labor
publication. In ST. Paul, Paul Goet-
singer and A. j. Garfield are active
candidates Duluth is in the field, but
the name of its candidate has not yet
been made known.
Besides the head of the department
there are half dozen inspectors, not
to speak of deputies and clerks, ano
each of these has from three to four
aspirants. The scramble is the iveli-
est in some years, and promises to give
the administration more trouble than
any place it will fill.

of the National Citizens bank. were
called by the state
Mr.. Bierbaucr took the stand in his

make the alteration OH the shipping
receipt and that he knew nothing
about it, He intimated that it must
have been done by one of his office
force. He said that he was absent a
good deal, looking after his brick yard
and at the lake, because of his health.
The defense did not put on any other
witnesses.
The case was argued this forenoon.

After w. NJ. Hall entered a plea of

sit next week. Monday, Judge Pfau
has to hold a special term of cours
at st. James, and the next day oc-
curs the ratification of Governor Eber-
llarts election, and Thursday is Thanks
giving day. so it will be seen that the
week will be badly broken up.
