The nomination of Mayor Lud- " ingtonand the members of the retiring - council - at- the village caucus last -evening insures the elimination of the bitter personal feeling’ which has marked the last few days of the campaign. The contest now becomes simply a personal one between Mayor .Liudington and Mr. Stoner; both gentlemen are personally popular and have hosts of friends, both have lived long in Bemidji and have extensive interests here. “The election of either means the administration of the city with an eyo single to the best interests of:the whole people. This is the point for which the Pioneer has contended from the first. Desperate attempts were made tosecure a ticket pledged to sapport the private interests of individual men but after a vain attempt to get together a ticket of this kind. the attempt was yes- terday totally abandoned and all the strength heretofore devoted to pushing private interests was thrown to Mayor Ludington and his colleagues. Had not the present adminis- tration refused steadfastly at first to be again candidates for reelection there would probably have been but one ticket in the field.. The business men of Be- midji .demand a ticket whose members are unpledged to any ~faction or individual. The tleman who are now candi- dates for election, both the mem- bers of the present administra- tion and others, are representa- tive business men of the city un- questioned integrity and incapa- ble of pledging themsalves to pri- vate parties. ‘While the candidate which the Pioneer his supported for mayor was not nominated at the caucus last night every principle for which this paper has contended has been carried out. The con- test from this time on becomes a purely personal one, gen- THE charge that the Pioneer has attacked the members of the present council, assailing their integrity as men and their record as officials is supremely ridicu- lous and is made solely for politi- cal purposes. The Pioneer has never at any time alluded to the present.council in any way other than complimentary. The article ‘quoted.to:sustain the charge con- . cerned well known public enter- prises like that of the commercial ‘club which have come to naught for obvious reasons. At the time it was published the members of _ the present council were not can- * didates for re-election but were == insistingCpositively and repeat- edly- that ‘they would under no circumstances stand for re-elec- tion, Only asmallaudiencewitnessed the Warner Comedy Co.’s pro- “duetion of ‘Hazel Kirke” last The piece was excellently ‘endered and it is to be re- gretted that the patronage not larger.

As to the merit of the Warner performances thereis no ques- tion. They are unquestionably the best popular priced attraction which has ever been seen at the local house and every production is worthy of and should receive the most liberal patronage. BACKWOODS SKETCHES By A. M. GREELEY THE ELOPEMENT. “If I ketch you hanging arousd my place, I will work you into wolf bait,” is what her father murmured to Harum Wiggs when the young man had con- fessed a longing for Katie. Harum decided to monopolize the “ketching” game. He caught the girl and both escaped to Slab- town to be married. The minis- ter was not at home but his wife expected him ‘‘any moment. Won’t you come in and wait?” They sat in the resin-papered parlor and waited restlessly. Suddenly a knock on the door sounded their worst fears. Katie's father had overtaken them. The minister’s wife understood their violent signs of distress. She ordered them upstairs into a darkened room, while she went to the door to face the angry parent. They heard him enter the parlor with quick strides and approach the stairway door. “Quick! We’'ll fool him yet,” cried Harum. “I will lower you out the window. I’ll hide up on the roof. Lay low till the old man leaves.” Clinching her wrists he lowered her to within a few feet of the ground. He had clam- bered upon the roof when he heard the baffled father prowling over the room below. The later saw the open window and hastily descended the stair to resume the search out door. It was now dark. “Harum’, called Katie in a few minutes, “come down. It’salla mistake. Paw was hunting for us to take us both home for a big wedding supper, He aint mad at all. But I am—mad and wet. When you dropped me I slid down the cellarway into two feet of water in the cellar. Come down off your perch.” After a few deep-meaning mut- terings Harum . responded: ¢I can’t come, unless your dad brings a pry. They have just pub tar roofing on this house and Iam stuck fast—wedding clothes and al GITY POLITIGS | J. R. Hennessy appears to have a clear field to himself for con- stable and no onehas yet been dis- covered who desires the exercise of going up against him. The air is full today of rumors of independent candidates for various offlces but there is little that can be discovered for a cer- tainty. The contest between Mayor Ludington and M. D. Stoner vromises to be a warm one aithough one that is entirely friendly. A. Gilmour will bean independ- ent candidate for justice of the peace and will give the other can- didates something to think about until the votesare counted. Mr. Gilmour is one of the oldest resi dents of the city and is known to all and well liked in all quarters. He will make a yigorous cam- paign. M, G. Slocum this afternoon for jus- tice of the peace. Mr. Slocum has not entered the field until he has been compelled to do so by the urgings of his friends, of whom there are a-plenty. Mr. Slocum has every qualification for the office that any layman could have and will make a worthy and formidable opponent for Mr. l’4‘n(l('l$.’d5b PARALYSIS OF INDUSTHY. Transvaal and Orange River Colony In Poor_Financial Condition. Johannesburg, March 3.—Lord Mil- ner, British high commissioner in South Africa, in delivering the presidential address before the intercolonial coun- cil for the Transvaal and Orange River Colony, revealed the grave financial condition of the colony. He said a de- ficit amounting to $5,000,000 was due to the shrinkage in railroad receipts and the general paralysis of industry, while almost all of the $150,000,000 loan has already been expended on railroads, the repatriation of the Boers and the development of the country. Their only resources now were pa- tience and economy. Lord Milner said he was not dismayed and that he hoped for improvements when an adequate supply of labor was forth- coming.
