JAMES CRAY A
SELF-MAOE man
Secured College Education by
His Own Endedyors.
STANDS HIGH IN JOURNALISM
Twenty-Five Years of His Life Spent
in All Branches of the News
paper Business.

James Gray, the Democratic nomi
nee for governor, was born at Falkirk
Scotland. the site of Wallace's last
great battle, Feb. IS, 1862, his father
being master miller and his mother
the daughter of a sturdy farmer. In
1866 his parents emigrated to Amer
lea and he was brought, as he ex
presses it, together with other valua
bles," to Bellevue, little milling town
in Iowa, where they resided, save
three years in Grant county, Wis, un
til 1880. At Bellevue he finished his
common school education, his scholar
ship being uniformly marked excel
lent" while his department was only
"fair,' owing to his penchant for see
ing the humorous side of things.
Full of enterprise, he began his
newspaper career when eight years
old by delivering papers and Incl
dentally heralding the news, and his
peculiar bent began to assert itself
He took an eager interest in current
history and became well informed on
what was going on in the world, dis
cussing weighty matters with a gray
ity and sagacity at once amusing and
significant-a training of great value
to him throughout his subsequent ca
reer
Experience In Manual Labor.
AS he grew older he spent his vaca
tons in the village sawmill, piling
lumber and, waist-deep in the water,
pushing and showing the logs to the
slip" During one summer he worked
on a macadamized road on a plan OF
his own-contracting to work out the
poll-tax of citizens and getting enough
days work together to do the whole
job. Thus he was a practical expo.
nent of good roads before the present
crusade for better highways was born
In 1879, during his last year in
school, he acted as supply teacher,

A PLAGUE of Ants,

A singular state of things, and at
the same time serious, exists in the
commune of Gonfaron in Var. The
fruit trees and all other products of
the garden and even the fields bear
an unmistakable odor of formic acid.
The people are much concerned lest
their produce be rendered useless, and
application has been made to the min.
istry of finance for a grant of 10000
francs to rid the district of the pests,
which it is scarcely necessary to say
consists of myriads of ants. The
place of origin of these undesirable
aliens is Africa, and it is considered
that they have been brought over with
bales of cork.-London Globe.

Ozone for a Library,

Chicagos public library, for several
years subjected to much adverse criti-
cism because of its inadequate ventila-
ton system and the attendant ills, has
been provided with what is said to be
the first ozone apparatus used wholly
for the purpose of supplying fresh air
for a large building.
The electric ozone generator is said
to be the largest ever built for such a
purpose. 1t is six feet high, eleven
inches in thickness and one foot wide,
and consumes six amperes of cleo
trio current an hour. 1t is inserted
in an opening of an air duct, between
fan and spray of water used for
washing the air, which, passing
through it, becomes charged with
ozone.-Popnlar Mechanics.

The DEFEAT OF TAWNEY

By defeating James A. Taw-
ney Minnesota on September 20
placed herself in the forefront of
insurgency. Tawney, enjoying
the presidents favor, backed
by the federal machine and
standing as the representative
of Cannonism, was a national
figure and by that measure, so
much the greater was his fall.
Tawney is an able man and in
the past has done the state much
service. But he had become an
autocrat unmindful of the wishes
of the people. He had either
stamped out or frozen out num-
Der of honest, self-respectful
country newspaper men of his
district who had dared to oppose
him. He had become a car in
his own realm. The people
had had their fill and voted him
down and out. Possibly, after a
few years of retirement in sack
cloth and ashes he may come
again to the surface, willing to
serve the public humbly and
honorably.
1t is hoped that the echoes of
the first district primary have
reached the White House. The
chief executive of the nation
erred greatly in his pilgrimage
to Winona and in what he said
there. 1t was one of the most
ort-sighted acts a president of
this republic has committed for
a long time. The people resent
the interference of even the
head of the nation when he
attempts to place his official
sanction upon a public servant
in whom they have lost conf
dence.

Camden and Belfast made seven trips

to the wants of the route. SIX trips
We're made per week during September

trips to November 18th, after which the
Belfast entered on the regular winter
schedule of two trips per week. The
