The village election yesterday resulted in a magniticent en- dorsement of the present admin- istration, Mayor Ludington and the members of the past year’s council being returned to office by a vote of nearly four to one. The general result of the election was certain from the moment that-the members of the old ad- ministration consented to run again and had they notatfirstre- fused to allow their names to be used it is entirely probable that there would have been no ticket to oppose them. The victorious ticket received practically the solid support of the business men of the city and in view of this fact it is a compliment to the gentlemen who ran on the inde- pendent ticket that they received as many votes as they did, It is safe to say that the elec- tion leaves behind it very little unpleasantness and that every one will join hands in working for the continued prosperity of the village. The administration of the city during the ensuing year will be a business man’s administration as has been that of the pastyear. There is every prospect that the debt of the village will be wiped out before the year is over and that needed publicimprovements may be undertaken with no in- crease of taxation. The administration elect en- joys the absolute confidence of the people of the city. It is composed of representative busi- ness men and the Pioneer sug- gests that with the organization of-the viltage as a clty, which should be done with all con- venient speed, no better step could be taken than to continue it as the first city administration. SENTIMENT VS. BUSINESS. Public sentiment throughout the United States is very gener- ally with the Japanese in his spirited contest with his huge opponent, The Russian sympa- thizer is very rare. It is the na- ture of the American to sympa- thize with the smaller party and the Jap’s plucky fight stirs all our admiration. Moreover Japan has made a wonderful progress in civilization in the past few years and the eyes of the world have been much upon her, While we thus sympathize with Japan because of sentiment it would seem that our business in- terests should incline us to hope that Russia may win. Accord- ing to a view set forth by Re- ceiver George of the United States land office Russia has an immense territory which has yet hardly seen the beginning of de- velopment and the United States is her natural purchasing point. Failure of Russia to win in the present gar will be a serious set back to the development of this great territory and we shall suffer accordingly thinks Mr. George. No nation, however, has made the commercial progress that Japan has during the past few years and there can be little doubt that in the event of her success in the war now on she will be a very heavy purchaser from this country—a heavier purchaser than Russia can be- come for many years. It 15 announced that Dr. A. A. Ames will take no hand in the governorship fight and all candi- dates have drawn a long breath of relief. RECORD BREAKI "WINTER SomeFiguresof ThreeMonths That Are Quite Un- usual. SMALL WONDER COAL HAVE BEEN HIGH. BILLS Fifty-Two Days When Minimum Temperature Was Below Zero Is the Record. Last winter was considered a normal one for northern Minne- sota. The present winter is shown to be a decidedly abnor- mal one by the United States weather bureau records. A com- parison of weather conditions during the three severe months of the two winters is interesting, and explains to the economic housewife and the kicking lord of the household, just why the coal bill was so much higher this season than last. During December, 1902 and the following January and Feb- ruary there were twenty-nine days when the official thermom- eter registered below zero, and sixty-one when it registered above zere, while in December, 1903, and January and February, 1904, there were fifty-two days when the mercury stood below and only thirty-nine when the zero mark was not reached. In December, 1902, there were twenty-five days on which the mercury’s lowest point was above zero, as compared to sixteen days during last ‘December. The records for January, 1903, show fifteen days when the thermom- eter registered below zero, while during last January the days when this temperature was re- cordered numbered eighteen. In February, 1903, the mercury stood below ecight days during the entire month, as compared tc nineteen below zero days in Feb- ruary, 1904. The coldest days of last win- ter during the month of Decem ber, 1902, and Januar ruary, 1903, were as follows: Nec. 26, 17 degrees below; Dec, 25, 16 degrees below; Dec. 8, 13 degrees below, or only three days in the montih when 10 or more was registered. January 11, 14 below,and three more days during the month when more than 10 below was registered. On Feb. 14, 1903, a spell of cold started with a mimimum tem- perature of 5 below recorded. On Feb. 15 it was 15 below; on the 16th, 24 below; on the 17th, 24 below; on the 18th, 20 below, and on the 19th and 20th, 5 below. The cold days of this winter, during the months of December, 1908, and January and Febraary, 1904, were as follows: Dec. 83, 23 below: Dec. 26, 21 below; Dec. 22 to 31 the the ther- mometer registered below zero every day except the last, when it went to 5 above. On six days more than 10 below was regis- tered. In January there were twelve days registering 10 or more be- low and five days registering more than 20 below. Beginning with Jan, 28 the mercury stood below the zero mark every day up to Feb. 5. The coldest days were: 25 below on the 23rd; 87 below on the 24th. 31 below on the 25th; 23 below on the 26th; 20 below on the 27th and 18 below on the 2nd and 28th. In February there were four- teen days when more than 10 below was registered, and four days when more than 20 below was recorded. The coldest days were: 24 below on the 1st; 21 below on the 4th;23 below oa the 8th; 22 below on the 15th and 19 below on the 16th. The Conductor. Conductor Warren of the C. & N. W. R. R. says: I had been suffering with a severe cold for several days. and was so hoarse I could rot speak above a whi per, Nov. 16, 1 met one of Dr. handed me a bottle of the White Wine of Tar Syrup, and one hour after taking the first dose my hoarseness commerced leaving me. In twenty four hours my voice was quite clear and natural the cold nearly cured. It is the best remedy I ever saw. and Feb- | ; "I TIME TABLE LOCAL TRAINS Warner’s agents on my train, he| =2 | ESTIMATORS’ TRIP| S | | Work In the Northern Woods ln} Very Severe Weather Trying. Cass Lake, Minn.,, March 8.—| The members of the Chippowa estimating crops, who have been | working on the nortliwest angle of the Chippewa resery north of Lake of the Woods, re- turned to Cass Lake today and reported to Chief Estimator War- ren, The corps. sified and mated 85,000 a , and the work was done in three and one- half months, in the face of the worst weather conditions that ever prevailed in that country. The snow has not been less than three and one-half feet deep, and the work of the crops was in the woods where the tinber stood so thick that they had to cut trails through the dense growth in order to get through® The men used snowshoes all the time, and even with these progress was of- ten retarded by sinking to arm pits in the drifts. The thermometer for most of time did not register warmer than 35 degrees below zero, and as the crew slept in tents, there was considerable actual suffer- ing from the cold. The consisted of E. T. Biglow, ant chief; A. J. Morrissette, I, Fulton, Sam Tebby, George L. Cott, T. A. Bury, W. A. Chase and E. S. Wilcox., These men are all old woods- men and have had many ycars of experience in ths ¢ of work which they have just completed, but they are unanimous in the statement that the trip from which they have just returned was the most trying of any in their experience. There remains for the corps to estimate some lots and parcels of land on the Winnibigoshish, Pigeon River, Bois Fort, and the other minor reserves which were left by the changing of Indian allotments, where the allotees dropped cer- tains lands for others, at the con- clusion of which, so far as Cheif Warren is informed, thé entire work of the best corps that has worked on the Chippewa re- Minnesota will be m, completed.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surface. Such articles should neyer be used excepton precrip- tions from reputable phys as the damage they will do is folds the good you can possibly derive from = them. Hall’s Catarrah Cure, manufactured by F. J. CLeney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur- faces of the system.
