Hellstrum, the democratic candidate
is developing unexpected strength il
many quarters. He is n practical cam
paigner, a good stump speaker and has
back of him a splendid organization
He will number among his campaigners
Governor John Burke, ex-senator Pur
cell, General Hildreth, Tracey Bangs
Geo. P. Jones, Z. D. Casey, and many
others who are experienced and eloquent
stump speakers. In addition MIR. Hells
from is making a wide use of literature
He is after the farmer vote and the in
dications are that he will get a big pei
centage of it. He was once a travelling
man and the travelling men are coming
to HMM large numbers and will be g
powerful factor in determining the cleo
ton. Beyond and over all is the feeling
in political circles that this is "a demo.
cratic year" Taft is extremity unpopu.
lar and Hanna will be forced into his
camp before the campaign is .ver. He
has ..been literally kicked out of the
Roosevelt camp and will be obliged to
find a national political home somewhere.
Taft will be an awful handicap. Then
there IS the third party candidate.

THE THREE EMBLEMS.

The elephant is IN imposing looking
beast, but it never did inhabit many
countries and its dying out. 1t was
an object of fear in the jungles and is
still a curiosity at the circus, but it
retreats before civilization. The bull
moose is ever less desirable as a party
emblem. 1t is a snowy creature-quite
striking in appearance, but it is only
suited to the higher latitudes-lts pres.
ence chills you.
Neither the elephant nor the bull
moose makes a party emblem. Give us
the donkey the patient, Woodworking
donkey. He is everywhere, and always
toiling for the common people. He
lifts up his voice occasionally in hope
full supplication for a better day and
he kicks sometimes when he is mis-
treated, but what animal could better
symbolic utility and universally? His.
life is a life of service and he is omni
present. The democratic party is to be
congratulated on having escaped the
elephant and the bull moose-hail to the
the democratic donkey-The Commoner.

That every state senator who ran for
denomination at the recent primary
election and was repudiated by the
people of his district after having served
in the upper house, voted for the acquit-
tai of John f. Cowan of Devils Lake in
the impeachment proceedings, was one
of the facts disclosed in the election re-
turns. Including Senator Simpson of
Dickinson, who was defeated for congress
there where nine in all. This includes
every senator up for re-nomination-and
every n voted for Cowan. There were
ten senators who voted for Cowan who
refused to make the race for re-nomina-
ton. In the column of candidates for
denomination who we're successful are
found two senators who voted for
Cowan-F. S. Talcott of Cass county.
who had no opposition, and H. P.
jacobson of Mott. To many these facts
have considerable significance. The
fact that every defeat recorded was in
the case OF a Cowan man tells a story in
itself.

various foods that are eaten in an I'M
cooked state if infected by flies. through
cooked food infected by flies after the
process of cooking, through drinking wa
ter which has been infected by flies and
through milk which has been infected by
flies. Fruits are especially likely to be in.
fected by the small fruit fly commonly
found around markets and stands. Fish
may be infected by flies and in conse-
quence will undergo rapid decomposition.
Decomposition caused III this way has re-
suited in many cases Of d.arrhea and dys-
EMERY. What are commonly known as
f1yspecks are the eXcreta of the fly and
frequently contain virulent disease germs.
The fly in the house should be relent-
lessly pursued and Destroyed. The house
which is carefully screened and protected
from flies is infinitely safer than the one
not SO protected. In the spring Of the
year the fly begins to take on life. Eggs
which are laid the previous fall begin to
hatch. At first the fly is only a little
worm wriggling in some pile Of filth. The
eggs are usually laid in a manure pile or
a mass Of garbage. The most effective
way to prevent the fly nuisance is to de-
stroy these breeding places. The impor-
lance Of this may be seen when it is con-
sidered that one fly produces 125, 900, 900 Of
its kline in one season.
Stables.-Manure is by far the common
est material in which the fly lays eggs.
All stables should be kept ~scrupulously
clean. No manure should be allowed to
accumulate where it will be exposed to
flies for even a few minutes. Manure may
be treated with considerable quantities of
lime without interfering with its fertiliz-
ing value, and in this way the develop
ment of the eggs can be practically pre-
vented.
G~arbage.-As a medium for the develop
ment of flies garbage may be considered

son, Halvo- Torgerson, OF Hope town

years, 6 month and 26 days. 1t was in
the year 1860 that he emigrated to the
United States with his family, the
voyage across the Atlantic Ocean being
made in a wooden sailing vessel and
lasting six weeks and two days until
they reach Quebec. Hastings, Mimi,

family and they eventually reachedthere
by about the middle of June settle
ing on a homestead in Euricke town
ship, Dakota county. At the time of
the Indian outbreak of 1862 Kittil
Torgerson helped to organize a defend

same year he answered the call OF his
country, enlisting in the Second Min

to get back to the Dakotas though, say
ing that he wanted to spend the rest of
his days and be buried where his wife
had been laid to rest some years
previous.
He died without a known enemy and
was a friend to all who knew him. Since
Decoration day of this year, May Both,
he has been a helpless invalide and was
we'll pleased and satisfied to respond to
the last call. He had been a life long
christian and as such he died.
In addition to many s%orrowing friends,

land of his birth, be leaves the following
family of grown sons and daughters:
Halvor, Torger. and Thomas, the later
now of Spalding, Sask., Mrs, Alice K
Omlie, of this county and Mrs. Annie K

earthly remains of Kittil Torgerson
were laid to rest, beside those of his wife
IN the Homen cemetery, the funeral
occurring at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The burial services weee conducted by
Rev. Olaf Olson, who also held a short
service at the Halvor Torgerson home
before proceeding to the cemetery. The
wife of the deceased passed from this
life on April 2, 1894, aged about 10 years.
