Then came the matter of naming the
official newspapers of the county and
they proceeded to name the Journal,

Starkweather Times, Crary Public
Opinion and the Hampden Guardian.
-Four Of these five papers having the
smallest circulation of any papers pub

mrs. N. BLOOM
REJECTED BY THE
j. S. SENATE

Washington, Jan. 4.-The nomina-
ton Of Mrs. Marjorie Bloom to be
postmistress at Devils Lake, N. D.,
was again rejected by the senate to-
day. This is the second time that
Mrs. Bloom has been rejected for this
office by the senate.
The nomination Of Mrs. Bloom after
the first rejection occasioned great
deal Of comment among senators.
Mrs. Bloom is now filling the Office
by virtue Of an appointment made by
President Wilson, while the senate
was in recess.
The Bloom case pomises to become
one Of the most important in the row
that has broken out between the presi-
dent and the senate over questions Of
patronage.
Wether Mrs. Bloom will be re-
nominated is matter Of lively specu-
lation, but that she stands no chance
Of confirmation is certain. She was
rejected today by unanimous vote.
The differences between the presi-
dent and some senators over federal
appointments, resulted tonight in the
senate judiciary committee ordering
an inquiry into the authority Of the
president to make recess appoint
ment to fill vacancy created during
a session of congress. A sub-com-
mittee was also named.

AROUSES FIRE LADDIES FIRST
TIME IN WEEKS.

About 1880 a. m. Monday morning
the fire whistle aroused the citizens
and the fire department was hustled
to the scene of the blaze, which proved
to be in room in the Bangs block,
and almost directly over the Royal
Blue shoe store. The fire it seems
started under the floor of a room oc-
cupied by Emil S. Eich, but at the
time no one was sleeping in it as Mr..
Eich is visiting in Iowa. The fire
department soon had the blaze under
control and the damage which was
caused mostly by water, was slight
and covered by insurance.
