CANADIAN NORTHERN 1.
ADDITION TO MRGllll
New Plat TO- be Placed on the,
Market " Comprising Half
Acre PLOT, for All.

The Canadian Northern Addi-
tion is the latest realty enterprise
to engage the attention Of Nir-
ginians, comprising a twenty acre
tract Immediately adjoining the
mills of the: Virginia & Rainy
Lake company on the west, lying
between the mill and the west
Virginia townsite.. r..
The new plat is owned by Vir-
ginia and Duluth capital, and has
been subdivided into elegant
home and garden plots of half
acre each, which will be placed
at your command at a price of
$4,000 each, easy payments
They certainly look like a good
Investment for rich or poor, and
should find ready takers among
the home-owners of the city. !
Lots in the new addition will:
be placed on sale Monday next,
January 18th, at the office of Mar
tin Nelson, Enterprise Block, and
if you are in the least interested
it will pay you big returns to look
carefully into the proposition, as
values are sure to double.
Buy a half acre lot in the addi-
ton, own your own garden and
reduce the high cost Of living by
producing your own vegetables
on your own home plot. It can
be done, and the prices at which
the lots are to be sold insures you
additional dividends in increased
values.

MUNICIPAL. OWNERSHIP >
CANDIDATES FILE
M. A. Murphy for Mayor, r. J..
McGhse, I'll. johnson and Con-
rad Mattson for Aldermen, .andS
j. III. Fleming tor Municipal
JudQe. -

~AAAOAAS0 oA S<~A<~~>Ass1y AA<sss ~1~SA&ESVAA-
cerned, took on a more definite
aspect on Wednesday, when M. A.
Murphy filed as a candidate for
mayor, r. j. McGhee, fConrad
.Mattson and F. L. johnson filed
for aldermen at large, and j. 81.
Fleming filed for the municipal
judgeship on the municipal own
'ership ticket.
Either Of these candidates. are
'well-known to Virginians, Mr..
Murphy having for years been
connected with the Duluth, Missa-
be & Northern and later with the
Canadian Northern system az su-
perintendent, resigning his posi-
>tion> a year ago to engage in busi-
ness pursuits here. He is known
as an upright, honorable man, q
progressive citizen, and while we
do not know definitely who may
become his opponent in the COM
ing contest, we believe he will
make a strong candidate.
Conrad Mattson and F.: L. John
son have both been members Of
previous city councils, while r..
j. McGhee has been connected
with city affairs as former presi-
dent Of Aurora, and since coming
to- this city as a member of the
board of education. All are
known as competent men, whose
best efforts would be for the ad-
vancement of the city.
In the fling of '*Judge" "Fleming
for the municipal judgeship the
third candidate for this position
became ,evident, while it is GER
tain that at least two additional
candidates will be in the field be-
fore the expiration Of the date for
filing. The three thus far filed
comprise T.. M. Osborn, w. j. Ar
cher and j. III. Fleming, while. A.
N. Thompson and james P. Carey,
present. incumbent, have definitely
their intentions, but
have not fled at this writing. In
this contest the number of candi-
dates will make Of the outcome a
matter Of conjecture, as each of
the aspirants have a circle of
warm friends whose best efforts
will be put forth in their behalf.
Aside from the filings mention
ed the only other candidate filed
thus far is w. O. Snyder on the
public ownership or socialist tick
ct, although it is understood a
complete ticket will be in the field
from this party.
Rumor continues to toy with the
names Of a number of prospectives
for the mayoralty, it being prob
able that H. o. johnson, serving
at present as alderman at large,
will become a candidate. 1t is
also considered likely that E. c..
A. johnson may permit the use Of
his name for reelection as alder
'man at large, and friends of Pres
~ident Osborn, of the city council,
urge his consideration of a re-
election. Assmembers of the pres
.ent council these men have been
valuable; and progressive members
and their reelection would mean
a continuance Of the same spirit
of advancement in municipal af-
fairs which has characterized the
present councilithe past:two years.

The family with young children
that is without sickness in the house
now and then is rare, and so it is inn
portant that the head of the house
should know what to do in the little
emergencies that arise. A child with
serious ailment needs a doctor, it is
true, but in the majority of instances
as any doctor knows, the child suffers
from some intestinal trouble, usually
constipation.
There is no sense in giving it a pill
or a remedy containing an opiate, nor
is flushing of the bowels to be always
recommended. Rather give it a small
dose of mild, gentle laxative tonic

PRETTY FLOWER GIRL
AT WALDORF HONORED
BY BACHELOR RESIDENTS

New York. June 8-Practically all OF
the permanent bachelor residents Of the
Waldorf-Astoria sent silver or cut glass
to-day as wedding presents for Miss
Christine Petersen, who for four years
has been employed in a flower shop in the
hotel. She married Frederick W. n.
Lasker. a Waldorf employe.
OF course, the bachelors wished her all
sorts Of good luck, but they feared that
with the departure of their little flower
girl the Waldorf bachelors custom Of
wearing a bOutonniere ever forenoon
would also go. For Miss Petersen. with
her piercing black eyes. sat daily in the
entrance to the shop and never one Of her
bachelors came down in the morning but
he had a carnation pinned to his coat ].
T. Davis, Of Virginia; j. V Rice, of New
Jersey; J. D. Carroll. of Boston, and many
others never wore bottonhole bouquets
until she gave them the habit
The carnation got to be as much a part
of the morning as their coffee. and they
all got to know her and like her. 1t is no
wonder that these men Of money sent
costly presents, now that It is all over
and their little flower girl has become a
bride and must give up selling poises to
become homekeeper.
