enters.
 As Jim and the proprietor of the gambling house are looking over the nuggets Jim notices a strange one-asks Betty where she found it. She leads him to the mine and he discovers a rich vein-worth a million. Fleming's conspiracy is discovered and he is invited to leave. John takes Betty in his arms and tells her he has always loved her, and is informed of the dis covery of the gold.
 Her sudden wealth seems, in his mind, to create great gulf between them, but she wriggles back into his embrace-tells him she loves him, asks him to be her husband, and with a roguish smile says if he does not marry her she will go to the dogs. In moment she seems to change from child to a women he takes her closer in his arms and their happiness is made con- plete.
 This picture will be presented to- morrow night and will run also on Monday and Tuesday.

SP0R I s

On one of John Us tours, when he was offering $500 to any man who would stay four rounds with him, John s. Barnes, who was at | one time prominent in baseball, was ahead of the show. Barnes says one of the first things he had to do after reaching town was to get a case of small bottles of ale and tub full of cracked ice. The bottles were put in the ice so that the champion could refresh himself.
 After getting the refreshments, Barnes would then look around for an opponent or champion. One hot day in Duluth John L. was stripped to the buff in his dressing room, snug gling right up close to his tub the bottles with an ice pick, poured the ale into a rusty cup and drank his fill.
 While he was enjoying himself a husky, wellbuilt young fellow, carry. ing a pair of boxing gloves, came to the theatre and Barnes stopped him at the stage entrance. The young fellow said he wanted to try for that $500. While they were talk ing things over Sullivan roared:
 Tell my sparring partner I want to warm up for the sucker"
 The young man with the gloves heard the roar and sneaking around Barnes, he spies Sullivan sitting alongside the tub.
 'I am willing to fight any man for $500," he said, but I will not fight an animal like that" and he walked away from there.

For Auditor of Isanti County.

For Auditor of Isanti County.
To the Voters Of Isanti County:
In explanation Of my failure to make
an active personal campaign for re-
election as county auditor, wish to
state that have been so thoroughly
occupied with my duties as clerk of
the local draft board that it has been,
and in all probability will be, impossi-
BILE for me to make such campaign.
However, wish to inform the voters
of this county that I desire renomi-
nation and reelection to the position
of county auditor of this county, and
through this means to solicit your
vote and support at the coming pri-
mary election on the 18th inst.
For more than one year I have act
ed as clerk Of the local draft board and
have given to that position great
deal of my time. In the meantime
have also discharged all the duties de-
volving upon me as county auditor and
the condition of this office shows that
the work required therein has not
been neglected, for every detail in this
office is up to date. The public ex-
aminer has on many occasions, includ-
ing the last examination of this office,
attested that the office has had careful
attention and is conducted on first
class business basis.
If again nominated and elected
assure you that I shall continue to
administer the office Of county auditor
as heretofore and in the interests of
the taxpayers, and also work diligently
with the local draft board in the in
terests Of our common country and
with justice to all.
Yours very respectfully,
G.. c. Smith,
25-1c County Auditor.
