My business de- mands my whole time. 13 Despite the frct that E. J. Wil- lits has announced that he is not a candidate for any office and least of all the mayorality there are persistent rumors to the ef- fect that he may yet cut some figure in the race. There was a well defined ru- mor about town this morning that Wes Wright-would get into the mayorality running and every axe in the News office was promptly put on the grindstone. ‘Wes could run some all right but he says it is all a josh. The candinacy of M. D. Stoner appears to be growing in poru- larity. Mr. Stoner’s announce- ment that he is in the race to stay and that he is a cacdidate to win until the votes are counted has been sufficient to line upa strong following for him and one that is steadily growing. The element said to be anxious for the candancy of P. J. Russell for mayor are credited with hold- ing a caucus last night at which the situation was discussed. Among other things it is said that all the members of the coun- cil will be candidates to succeed themselves and that the whole ticket willgo down the line to- gether headed by the famous war elephant who is accredited with the active management of the whole campaign. The announcement made yes- terday that P. J. Russell would be a candidate for mayor did not meet with Mr. Russell’s unqguali- fied approval today. Mr. Rus- sell said this afternoon. “I haven’t time to talk to you right now about my position in this matter. There is no occasion for rushing matters. I do not covet the position of mayor and I would be glad to'see the mantle fall on other shoulders. My cau- didacy will depend on certain local conditions. - If my friends convince me that it is an urgent necessity I shall not hesitate, but at the present time I am inin the hands of my friends.” Can’t Be.a Bell Cow. H. G. Hays returned this morn- ing from St. Paul and there is now hope for the city that it may be saved. ; Besides successfully four- flushing for several days at the Merchants hotel lobby Mr. Hays undertook a Fidus-Achates jun- ket to Dodge county and the re- mote hustings of the southern part of the state, a safe distance removed from Brown county. The prospects-for an early spring in that section are said to be eun- couraging but there is grave dan- ger of high water. Returning he spent some time at the night school, which is eeing conducted by W, E. Verity, | who is said to be successfully living down the reputation his versatility has acquired him as a famous two spot. The lesson for Monday evening was talken from the First Primer in Practi- cal Politics and the subject chos- en for Mr. Hays’ especial benefit was “If You Can’t Be a Bell Cow Fall in Behind.” He is said to have behaved bad- ly during school hours and was compelled to remain in at recess and stay after school which ac- counts for his delayed return to this city. Little Daughter Dead. Death visited the home of the Gallup family for the second time within a week last night| when their little 11 year old daughter died from scarlet fever attended by complication. A 10 year old son was buried Sunday. Owing to thenature of the disease the funeral was private and was held from the Lahr undertaking| ‘establishmeiit thismorning.

RACE FOR FALLS Story of Duluth Paper Gives In- ternational Falls Two Rail- roads This Year. Yesterday’s Duluth News Tribune publishes a story to the effect that both the Minnesota & International and the Duluth, Virginia and Iron Range rail- ways will have lines into Interna- tional Falls before the end of next season. The story says that work will be begun on the line of the M. & I. in the very near future and that some of the contracts are already let and also makes the remarkable statement that the M. & I has steel layed to Gemmell. This is truly rush- ing the work as Northome is the extreme end of the line at pres- ent. The statement is also made that the Duluth line will posi- tively go through this season. Woodsmen Use Up Currency. One hundred and fifty woods- men, employed at the logging camp of Wm. Buhlman, north- west of Kelliher arrived .in.that town the first of the week with their winter’s time checks in their pockets. - The men went in early inthe winter and the checks were from $150 to$600.
