things quite we'll his own way.
He fell down in the appointment
against his plans Of T. L.. McIn-

Mayor Baxter recently asked for

RUSSIA.

For a moment we thought that the generals
life had been saved, when all at once number OF
soldiers smashed open the door and rushed into
the car. They seized Dukhonin by the shoulders,
pushed him down the car steps, and then down to
the station platform. Krylenko ran after them.
At the sight of the general there was an outbreak
of yells.
Kill him at once!" the mob shouted ut is
enough that Kerensky and Kornilof have got away
from us. This must be beaten down on the spot" ;"
The crowd began to surge closer around DukhOnin.
In vain Krylenko shouted orders and entreaties;
he was not heard. Rife butts flew nD into the
air. Then came dreadful sight. Krylenko en-.
treated the men to spare the unhappy man, but
out from the crowd jumped tall sailor, whose
cap bore the name of the cruiser Aurora, and
showed Krylenko back.
"Look here, If you mix into this business, we
will settle with you, too. Then, with single blow
of his musket, he beat Dukhonin to the ground.
The general Immediately leaped up, his face bath
ed in blood, and tried to speak, but he was i'm
mediately transfxed by a dozen bayOnets and
then upon that bloody body q fury of blows from
rifle butts and heavy boots descended. The crowd
fought to get nearer to the corpse. 1t was strip
ned of every stitch of clothing. Scenes of gro
tescue horror were enacted. Two soldiers having
each snatched of the generals boots, fell upon
each other with curses and blows.
Finally, the body entirely naked, was propped
up against the railway and laughing like mad
men, the crowd gave itself up to a series of mon
strOus amusements. Sailors, Red Guards, and SOL
diers threw snowballs and mud at the head of the
dead man.-New York Evening Post.

| great majority Of the people
would be quite agreeable to the
plan. Mr.. Forbes is one Of the
most popular young men in the
city. Both he and his family
name stand very high.
It is stated as a fact and not as
a joke that Andrew Anderson,
county surveyor, who has never
surveyed anything but his pay
check since he was inducted into
his office, really and truly expects
| to run and be elected again. With
| that name Anderson he expects to
pass both as a Scandinavian and
a Scotchman, therefore catch
most Of the Scandinavian and
Canadian vote. Col. Anderson
will be opposed, probably, by
Thomas F. McGilvary, Eddie
Farrell and Charley Krelwitz..
! The legislative jobs are consid-
cred highly important this year.
In some districts the interest is
very keen while in others it is
dangerously dull. -. !.
In the Fiiftysseventh district,
Charles E.. Adams has filed for
the senatorship. He probably
will be opposed by Charles P.
Craig. Sen. Dick Jones informs
the Rip-saw that the Dry cam
paign probably will make it i'm
possible for him to run for either
the state senatorship in the Fifty
seventh district or for congress.
For representative. from the
Fifty-seventh district: NJ. B. Gull
lum, former mayor of Duluth, is
expected to file. Floyd L. Berk-
heiser and John j. Lane already
have filed. Mr.. Berkheiser does
not seem to be well known but is
said to be. a salesman who stands
for what, is best for Duluth and
a dry state and nation. Mr.. Lane
is a prominent business man in
several important lines and a gen.
uine, old-fashioned hustler. He
makes no brags as to being a
silver-tongued orator but when
it comes to getting results, he
stands at he head Of his class.
In the Fifty-eighth district,
Hugh Fawcett, prominent build
ing contractor, already has filed
for the lower house. R. l.. Ber-
die, a former county commission
er and a man of ideas and ability,
will oppose him.
If E. R. Ribenack stands for the
senate, Anton Bergen will file for
the house. If Ribenack declines,
| then the venerable old lover Of
state capitol heat will file for the
senate. Many prominent citizens
| are praying that W. A. Pittenger
| will enter the race for the sena-
torship~and carry off the prize.
| Not only has Sen. Geo. NJ. Pet
erson been very busily occupied
as secretary for the retail grocers'
association and as local food reg
hlator, but he has been having
piles of trouble in the hospital.
His friends maintain that he
should not: be opposed this year
in the Fifty-ninth district.
Many voters in that district be-
lieve that Sen. Peterson has serv-
ed his purpose, therefore they are
strenuously trying to stir up an
opposing candidate. Not wishing
to lose his railroad passes, David
| j Erickson finally laid down and
refused to run. There is serious
talk Of running Peter j. Borg
strom. The farmers in the dis
trict suggest strong, popular
member Of organized labor if one
can be found.
w. L. Bernard, Of the old Sew
enth ward, and John Mustonen,
Of VanBuren township, tributary
to Floodwood, have filed for the
lower house.

Although he may be saddened
by dashing Dora Olson's depart
ure for Spokane, chief McKer-
cher may find balm in Gilead
in the fact that Dorothy Hill has
come back to Duluth.
The: Big: Chief is credited with
being in the position of a man
who weeps with one side Of his
face and laughs with the other.
After rest and recuperation at
West. Baden Springs, Mable
Greenfield, alias Dorothy Hill,
alias Mrs. E. A. Dunn, has slipped
quietly back into the city and
taken an obscure flat, just as the
Rip-saw predicted she would do.
Although Madam Hill is not yet
at home to her large number of
prominent society associates, it is
alleged that any who desire to
sell her Liberty bonds, Thrift
stamps or Red Cross tags can find
her. comfortably domiciled in a
flat. over, Mrs. Brandt 5 millinery
No. ia w. Fourth ST.
If, dear old citizen, you wish
to investigate the truth of this in
formation, you can stroll along
that classic street until you see a
bright red, beacon light stream
ing from an upper story. That,
you may rest assured, is where
dainty Dorothy can "send a
CLEAN. across the wave" to her
friend and. protector at the cor
ner of Superior St. and Second
avenue E.
Some of Madam Hills admirers
declare that she will lead the
quiet and simple life in Duluth
and draw her living from her red
light dump at No. 1915 North
Fifth St., Superior, now in charge
Of a trusted house-keeper. While
there may be considerable. risk,
she can occasionally visit Super
ior in the Silly night, thereby les
sening danger of arrest by min
ions Of the law in the lowland
city.
In case of dire danger or neces-
sity, chief McKercher might drive
her over in the mammoth Nor
mon car, just as he did Kath-
crime Sheehan once upon
time, thereby shielding dear Dor
othy from the prying gaze Of the
United States marshal or a Doug
las county deputy sheriff.
Madam Hill certainly has a
powerful pull with the Big Chief,
otherwise she could not have
broken the laws of state and city
so many months in half a dozen
different sections Of the city by
keeping redlight dump and a
very moist blind pig. Just why
and what that pull may be. many
! citizens are rapidly getting anxi-
Gus to find out. Madam Hill was
here, went away and now is back,
without question or arrest.
Perchance the next grand jury
can throw some light on the pecu-
liar situation. There need be no
lack of evidence.
Madam Hill is a dangerous
woman for any man, young or
| old, to encounter. When con-
Quoting her redlight dump and
blind pig in Deacon Hubbard's s
sanctified house at No. 609 West
Third st., she played for big
stakes. One Chicago man was
there for two or three days, well
tanked and spending freely. The
owner Of a Hudson car in this
city dropped about all his hand
some earnings at Dorothy's dump.
The place was select, seclusive
and quiet exclusive, therefore
was compelled to trap the live
ones and then skin 'em alive.

Every single office in the mar
ble-lined courthouse is open to as
pirants except that Of clerk of
the district court and four Of the,
district judges. Already, a good
ly number Of filings have been
made but, undoubtedly, there, will

is claimed, by the way, that the
office Of county surveyor is an
exception and that filings for
that may be made up to Septem-
ber II, one of the prospective
candidates being authority for
this information.
The hardest scramble probably
will be for sheriff Meining's
shoes. He and his many loyal
friends have made a strong mo-
ton for another term. Frank L.
Magic, Walter M. johnson and
Paddy Mcdonnell oppose that
motion and have filed as oppon-
ents. About three weeks ago, R.
d. McKercher declared that he
would-run.for the nomination butt.
despite assertions that he surely
enter the mixup, the average
man expects to see him stay out.
For one thing, Mr.. McKercher has
not met with the encouragement
that he expected. Secondly, he
is very "near," therefore dslikes
to spend real money on an uncer-
tainty. Thirdly, the Rip-saw has
scared off the big laddie buck and
put 50 much fear into his heart
that he shrievalty plum does not
look very sweet and juicy to him.
District judges Dancer and
Freeman must stand again if they
desire to stay on the; bench. To
date, no aspirants for their seats
on the woolsack have appeared.
Court commissioner James E.
Gardner will have to run again
for his present title and position.

desire for another term. Both

ponents. .-.
Odin Halden and Walter H.
Bergen are the only candidates
for the authorship. While there
may be additional filings, the out
look for them is not real promis-
ing as these lines are written. Mr..
Halden is putting up a hard
:: death struggle but, like Goliath
of old, he will easily fall before
the able, energetic and popular
young David.
Should there be a third candi-
date, about equal to Bergen in
strength, wagers are freely offer
ed that Halden will stand third
when the votes are counted at the
close of the primaries on June II.
Although coroner G. F. Met Comb
is serving as U.S.. surgeon on the
battleship Iowa, he has filed for
another term and his many
friends expect to see him win out.

Noah A. Young, county super

1t is believed that Warren E.

county attorneyship. Some say

retire to private practice, or a
