The prospect of rival for the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination has
not as yet seriously disturbed the
hackers of Governor Eberhart in the
Twin Cities. The most of them are
located here and like the average city
lite their horizon is limited. They re-
fuse to be worried, but it is good bet
that they will be sitting up and TAX
ing notice before the convention rolls
around. What concerns them most is
where Sam will get his finances from
to conduct a campaign. This is one
of the essentials as far as they are
concerned and they would like to be
put wise. Lieutenant Governor Cor
don is perhaps better known among
the voters out in the country than lie
is in the cities. but this does not nee
essarily mean that they cannot be ed

hart hackers will shortly inaugurate

of the knocking now going on over

the investigation started by the legis
lature in 1905 looking to dissolution
of this particular trust. 1t was be-
lieved then that the whole thing was
in violation of the state laws. The
investigation at the start promised
some interesting disclosures, but af-
ter it had progressed day or two GER
tain influential ones appeared on the
scene and it was practically dropped.
The evidence secured regarding the
information of the trust issomewhere
on file in the state capitol, but it was
thoroughly censored before being
placed in the archives.
The Duluth Herald still continues
it's fight for the calling of an extra
session of the legislature for the pur-

THINK FOR HORSES.

Don't forget the proper care of horses
In the summer time.
The primary point to be kept in mind
Is that horses are subject to a variety
Of ailments-and they cannot always
make their symptoms known.
The horses stomach, and lungs, and
eyes, and ears, and kidneys and other
organs are subject to painful ailments
or to partial or complete impairment.
But until the malady-whatever it may
be, has developed fully-the driver may
remain in ignorance of the true con-
ditions.
The horse may find himself some
morning, upon being taken out of his
stall, unable to see quite clearly. New
ertheless he is put into his harness,
his head is checker back, and he has
the merciless glare Of the sun on his
&ger-wearied eyes all day.
After few months it is discovered
that the horse is blind. The teamster
Is sorry-for now the animal would not
sell for so good price.
Similarly, the day may be begun with
other incipient ailments. In the course
Of a month or two there comes a sud
den failure. The horse falls down or
the street. or he Is unable to arise In
his stall.
1t Is, perhaps, impossible to foreset
many OF the ailments to which the
horse is subject. But a perfectly sim.
pie rule-followed in the months O.
greatest heat-wtll result in prolongint
many horses life and usefulness. Th,
horse feels the heat, just as a mar
does. His labors should be lessened
He should be permitted to take hi
time.
The horse cannot state his case. TIL,
teamster should think and act for him

TUESDAY, JULY II, 1911.
AFTER POLITICAL DOPE.


The desperation of the recent legis-
lative investigating committee is shown
in its efforts to manufacture political
medicine. Appointed to investigate the
office Of the state treasurer--it volun-
tarily broadened the scope Of it's work
to include two former insurance com
missioners. 1t is needless to say both
were stalwarts.
1t tells about refund" made by the
commissioners. 1t seems they had not
made the insurance companies pay ex-
change on drafts. There had never
been a legal opinion on this. AS soon
as one was made-even by Andy Miller
the exchange was refunded at the
personal expense of the officials. The
state did not lose a cent.
Bringing in this closed incident
showed how badly Ployhar felt the in
BTgents needed some political dope.
In marked contrast to the action Of
the commissioners in this case-might
be pointed out the attitude Of an in
surgent official against whom a suit
had to be brought to secure fees illegal
" taken-then after judgment was
secured an appeal was taken.
The stalwart officials made good the
exchange Immediately on an opinion Of
the attorney general. They had not
personally profited a cent by the ex-
change.
Note the difference in the attitude of
the officials.

Woman Held as Murder Farmers"
One Victims Body Dug Up

Norfolk, Va. July 1.-The finding of
a corroded collar button In some lime
by one of the diggers on the Murdoch
farm has strengthened the belief of
the authorities that the woman now
in jail charged with one murder kept
a veritable murder farm. Two men
known to have associated with Mrs.
Minnie Lee Murdock in the past five
years have vanished.
The whole place about the woman's
shanty is. being excavated.
This is how 1t started. An old negro
shuffled into the sheriff's office with
the story that he had been asked by
Mrs. Murdoch to dig grave at the
farm. Deputies hurried out, and, dig
ging in an onion bed where the earth
showed recent disturbances, found at
the depth Of foot the corpse Of Harry
Harding, sailor, with it's head caved
in with an AK.
Mrs. Murdoch and Charles Merlxle,
who worked for her, were arrested.
Mrs. Murdoch confessed. She said
Merkle, jealous of Harding, murdered
him single handed. She went to
sleep while the men were quarreling.

A BROADWAY ACCIDENT
Carriage Driven by Mrs. NJ. G, Me.
Donald Overturned at Corner of
NJ. ?. Ave and Broadway.

While driving along Broadway 81 the
corner Of N. p. avenue yesterday att
ernoon, the carriage driven by Mrs. N.
G. Mcdonald was completely over
turned by a passing farm wagon,
throwing Mrs. Mcdonald and her little
son to the ground.
Mrs. Mcdonald was turning the COR
ner just as the farm wagon was pass
ing and in some way the rear end OF
the wagon struck the buggy con-
pletely upsetting IT. That the two oc-
cupants Of the carriage were not In
iured is very fortunate as the horse
driven by Mrs. Mcdonald was g spirit
ed one. The bystanders rushed quickly
to where the accident occurred and In
a very short time had the buggy
righted. Outside OF a few scratches on
the buggy no harm was done In the
least.

Hey, alder, hang thy tassels out
This blue and-golden morn:
And willow, show thy silver plush.

And velvet moss about the trees,

With pearls to fill them up.
And birds, why tarry SO a-south?
Spent is the bitter rain!

Come North, come north again.
