c. A. Nye, candidate for the Office
of district judge of the Seventh judi
cial district of Minnesota, was born
forty-nine years ago on a farm in St.
Croix county, Wisconsin, in which
state his parents we're pioneers.
Having finished the common school,
he went to the state Normal school,
and from thence to the state Uni
versity, earning his own way, from
year to year, by working on farm,
in a blacksmith shop and as a
teacher.
He took up law for a profession,
studying first with his brother, Con-
gresham Frank M. Nye, now of Min
neapolis, and with Robert NJ. La
Toilette, present United States
senator from Wisconsin. Continuing
his legal studies at the law depart
ment of Wisconsin university. he
graduated and went to Moorhead,
where he has practiced his profession
for the past twenty-five years.
He has held many Offices of trust,
both by election and appointment;
among them county attorney for eight
years, retiring in 1901, and member of
the State Normal School Board for
two terms. To the latter Office he was
first appointed by Governor John
Lind, in 1899, and again in 1907, by
Governor John A. johnson, whose
confidence and friendship he enjoyed
in an unusual degree.
Mr.. Nye affiliates with the demo-
cratic party, but believes in indepen-
dence of action in the selection of
judicial officers. The Bar associa-
tions of this and others.states are de-
claring for a non-partisan judiciary,
and the voters of this district, by re-
peatedly electing one republican and
one democrat to fill the two positions
on the district bench, have for over
twenty years declared themselves in
favor of the same principle. Hon. M.
D. Taylor of St. Cloud is the present
republican incumbent, and if Mr.. Nye
is elected to succeed the Hon. L. L..
Baxter, democrat, now about to retire
from the long efficient service, the
same custom will continue.
If Mr.. Nye is elected, he will devote
his utmost effort to the faithful and
impartial discharge of the duties OF
his Office, and he respectfully asks the
support of the people of this district
at the. coming..November election.

MEASURES OF LENGTH.
Light Waves and the Wonderfully Ac-
curate lnterferometer.

Light Waves and the Wonderfully Ac-
curate lnterferometer.
At the bureau of weights and meas
ures at Sevres, France, the standard
meter of metal, which is the standard
length of the world, is kept carefully
in an underground vault and is in
spected only at long intervals. In
Great Britain similar care is exercised
in guarding the standard yard meas
urement. AS it was possible for these
metal standards to be destroyed or
damaged in the course Of time, it was
decided a number Of years ago to de-
termine the exact length Of the stand
ards in wave lengths of light, which
would be basis of value unalterable
and indestructible. For this purpose
the instrument known as the inter-
ferOmeter was invented. This instru-
ment represented the highest order of
workmanship and the greatest skill Of
the best opticians Of the world. A
series Of refracting plates were made,
the surfaces of which were fiat with
in one-tWentieth Of a wave length of
light, with sides parallel within one
second, representing the utmost refine
ment of optical surfaces ever at
tempted.
With the interferometer perfected,
the attempt was made to make the
wave length Of some definite light an
actual and practical standard of length.
For over a year scientists worked to
secure this result, and experiments
finally showed that there were 1863
1G41l2 wave lengths of red cadmium
light in the French standard meter at
Is degrees centigrade. So great is the
accuracy Of these experiments that
they can be repeated within one part
in two millions. So inconceivably
small is such possibility Of error that
should the material standard of length
be damaged or destroyed the standard
wave length of light would remain I'm.
altered as a basis from which an ex.
act duplicate of the original standard
could be made.-Chicago Record-Her

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
1t Is an Essential Part of the Great
Game of Baseball.

t is an Essential Fart OF the Great
Game of Baseball.
According to bleacher law, there are
three particularly justifable motives
for doing away with umpires An
umpire may be killed-frst, if he sees
fit to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at a
close point in the game; second, an
umpire may be killed if he sends a
member of the home team to the bench
when the player in question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear off
ian umpire has no business to be
touchy); third (and this is a perfect
defense against the charge Of murder),
an umpire may be killed if he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun-
tries have tried baseball, but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball,
for baseball without umpire killing is
like football without girls in the grand
stand. It simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king Of outdoor sports was indi-
Gated forcibly when in the fall Of 1909
the Detroit team made trip to Cuba
under the management Of Outfelder
Mcintyre. In the entire series of
twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares mines not one single OBJ
lection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to a decision of the umpires. The
Americans did not know what to think
Of it-until they counted up the gate
receipts at the end Of the series. Then
they realized that in their own country
it is the delight in killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure in watching
the game that draws the tremendous
crowds through the unsatisfactory

Buttons.

Buttons.
The EliZabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole, two inven,
tons which may fairly be regarded as
important, since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but
ton was wholly a product of needle
work, which was soon improved by the
use of a wooden mold. The brass but
ton is said to have been introduced BY
a Birmingham merchant in 1880. 1t
took 200 years to improve on the meth
cd of sewing the cloth upon the cover
ed button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea of making the but.
ton in two parts and clamping them
together with the cloth between.

INSURANCE SWINDLE IS SEEN.
Minneapolis and ST. Paul Said to Be
Field Of Fraud Syndicate.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March TO-
AT least 81, 500 900 is involved in tho
fraternal insurance swindles which have
been perpetrated in the Twin Cities
during the last two years. according to
John A. Hartigan, state insurance COM
missioner, and the attorneys connected
with the investigation now under way.
The arrests Of six men and possibly
one woman, who are said to compose the
fraud syndicate, are promised not later
than next Wednesday, and nearly 100
policy holders will be cited to appear and
show why they should not be prosecuted
for fraud.
Policy holders are not believed to be
guilty in many cases. Some of them did
not know what they were doing when
they applied for policies, falsely stating
their ages. Often, as the attorneys for
the insurance orders are willing to adj
nit, the policy holders did not know
their own ages
In explaining his statement as to the
extent of the swindles, Hartigan said
today:
This amount of money will not be lost
by anybody. II means that there is that
much on the books of ten companies
which should not be there. the policies
having been taken out fraudulently.
Several fraterna insurance orders in
ST, Paul and Minneapolis are victims of
the syndicate.

it was not until comparatively modern
times that the founding of regular colo
