Citizens Will be Called Upon to Select
Officers for the Coming Year
No Opposition Only in the Ward Alder
manic Contests

The ticket to be voted for at
next Tuesdays election had been
completed Saturday night and from
the list of aspirants as given below
the citizens will be supposed to
choose their officers for the coming
year.
No opposition developed for
Mayor Knutson nor for Treasurer
Chinn or Judge Jury. These
officials were evidently satisfactory
or considered invincible as no one
seemed to have the temerity to
attempt to Dust them. The only
real fight seems to be in the wards
where three-cornered scrap is OH
in the first and third and two full
tickets in the second.
The ticket as it will appear is
as follows:
Mayor-Olof Knutson
Treasurer-Harry A. Chinn
Assessor-Arthur Sheridan
Judge-Thos. Jury
Aldermen, First Ward-Jack
Seraphine, Jas. H. White and John
Harri.
Aldermen, Second Ward-Jack
Maxi, F. B. James, Peter Matheson
and Andrew Luhtanen.
Aldermen, Third Ward-Steve
Bonovetz, John E. Cosgrove and
Arthur Toms.

day of 1910. Instead of requesting

day of 1910. Instead of requesting
the churches to give to the tubercu-
1osis cause special Sunday service,
the plan is, to ask this year that
meetings, at which the subject of
tuberculosis and its prevention can
be discussed, be held on Sunday,
April 3Oth, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What is desired is that the subject
of tuberculosis be discussed in all
of the 100000 churches of the
United States at as nearly the same
time as possible. This does not
demand that a stated service be
given over to this work, although
that might be desirable, but that
any minister, or other authority
whom he may invite, may present
the problem to his congregation
before or after his regular service,
or any day within the week pre-
ceding or following April 3Oth.
The National Association is
planning to gather statistics from
thousands of ministers, showing
how serious a problem tuberculosis
is to every church. There figures
will indicate among other things
the number of deaths last year
from tuberculosis in church con-
gregations, and the extent to which
clergymen are called upon to
minister to sufferers from this
disease. 1t is planned also to issue
millions of circulars and pamphlets
on the prevention of tuberculosis,
both from the national Office and
from the headquarters of the $50
anti-tuberculosis associations who
will cooperate in this movement.

state of Minnesota in the sum of
$50, 900 for the purpose of compile
ting our sewer system and the
distribution of the water supply of
the city, and it is to be hoped that
the bond issue will prevail.
The sewer system must be ex-
tended to embrace a main sewer to
the lake. At present all we have
is the open creek which may at any
time be closed for sewer purposes
by various causes, thus putting the
extended and expensive system up
town out of commission.
The town water must also be
taken care of especially now that
the cement sidewalk construction
will probably begin the coming
summer and thus in putting in
the storm cutters and sewers the
curb could also be put in. Sewers
we must have, both storm and
sanitary. and it is to be hoped all
will carefully consider the pro-
position before casting their bal
lot. The ballot fully explains
the question and the same is in the
form of two propositions, both to
be voted on.
