Nick Schaeffer, employed as night watchman af the Jackson awmill at Tenstirke suicided by shooting himself through temple with a thirty- elu'ln‘,cahblc revolver -at-an early “hour this morning. ' Schaeffer-was found in an -un- conscious condition by the work- men when they went on duty this morning. - A physician wa: mediately summoned from B * duck but he_died about nine —o’clock without regaining con- sciousness. There is no apparent motive for the rash deed other than despondency caused by exces- sive drinking. He had been drinking hmnly for several days. Schaeffer was a single man abont fifty years old and had been employed at Tenstrike at various jobs since early last fall. He has no relatives in this sec- tion and is of German extraction. The revolver with which he shot himself he has carried for some time and it was found a few feet from the body where it had apparantly fallen from his hand after the fatal shot was fired, and clearly established suicide.

Brewster, Bagley Elizabeth Ness I‘enA': .hllll\D 'Brien, Cass Lake Only about-— three * | votes were polled in the |5el]lld_|l “) contest today, but that is no in- dication of the work thatis being done on behalf of the candidates. It is astonishing the amount of interest that is taken by every- one in the outcome of the contest and each of the candidates have friends actively at work in their behalf of ‘whom they know nothing Outside of Bemidji the contest is thus far a very even one. A large amount of work is being done and the vote polled each day represents but a-small fraction of that work. Tenstrike, which never does anything by halves, is making the warmest kind of a hustle for Miss Ness, who today takes second place. Miss Her- manson makes a good gain today while both Miss Brewster. andMiss MeClaskey poll-a nice vote from Bagley. Walker and Cass Lake are keeping- a jealous eye each upon the other and as noon as the end is announced there will be doings in each town.

Albrant Makes Trip Through North Dakota and Does Good Work for Bemidii. C. E. Albrant returned last night from a trip through North Dakota, where he went to attend the meeting of the grand lodge of the A. 0. U. W. order, held at Fargo Wednesday. Mr. Albrant visited a number of other towns in that state and while there did some valuable advertising for Bemidji, distributing a number of copies of the special edition of the Daily Pioneer and securing the promise of a score or more families to visit this city when taking their summer vacations. Mr. Albrant also visited with his mother in Grafton. He reports that seeding is'completed in that country and some of the grain is already coming up. "Play Ball Sunday. Manager Kane, of the local base ball team announces that he has secured a game with the Akeley team to be played here Sunday. The Akeley team is one of the strongest in this section of the state, and the game promises to be interesting from start to finish. The home team is_alsoin good shape and feel confident of putting up a good article of ball. Hazen and Ludwm will be the battery for the Bemidji boys. This I POLITICS | A. B. Hazen, of Bemidji, an- nounces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for sheriff this week. ¢ Mr. Hazen has been variously disposed of by the slate- makers, but his announcement that he will be a candidate for the sheriffship disposes of rumors to the effect that he as- ered -to-be-register-—of deeds: Hazen is so far the only avowed candidate for the nomin- ation, John Jinkinson,-of this city, has also been spoken of, buf, Mr. Jinkinson has not -author- ized the statement that he wants ‘the nomination. It is generally conceded that the Republican candidate for sheriff will have the hardestfight for election of any man on the ticket. Mr. Hazen is one of Bemidji’s oldest and most respected citizens. He has served on the city council with credit for several terms and those who wish to see him sheriff state cor: rectly that if Mr. Hazen is nomin- ated and receives the Republican vote of the county as he should he will be elected without any difficulty. John Willman, who will bea candidate for-Auditor Sylvester’s position at the [v-pubhcau prim- arys apparently believes there s truth in the old adage to the effect that the early bird catches the worm. Mr. Wildman is cam- paigning vum»(msly at_present. Auditor Sylvester is unquestion- ably the most capable anditor the county ever had and his reténtion in his present capacify will be made the subject matter foras an aggresive campaign as is necessary by a large following of personal friends in this city und throughout the county whonum- ber many of the most influential workers in the party. County Attorney Loud’s chances for re.nomination are regarded as excellent—by—his friends. It is held’that Mr, Loud has the advantage of a wider per- sonal acqudintance throughout the county than either Attorney Funkley of Blackduck or John M. Gibbons, of this city who-have announced their candiacy for the nomination. He is not without warm personal friends to fight his battles in Bemidji and is al- ready campaigning, The organization of the Dunn club has greatly cleared the at- mosphere so far as tiie guber- natorial contest in- Bemidji is concerned. There is little appar- ent interest yet, however,but the Dunn clab is the-best-sort-of-an argument against the story that the Dunn forces in the city and county were pulling hair, which the faithful few of the Collins following have been so indus- triously circulating for some time past. It is generally conceded that the Republican nominee for the |W county attorneyship will have for opposition City Attorney P.-J. Russell, of this city. Mr. Rus- sell was defeated at the last elec- tion by County -Attorney Loud: He is a staunch Democrat, but to see him make the race as a straight independent candidatc. M.

Mz, Peterson is known to be a close friend of Frank Eddy’s and it is not improbable that he was here to feel the pulse of the Collins workers who ave credited with being somewhat cast down recently and about ready to adopt a new tack.

LOSE THEIR HOME Fire Destroyed —the Residence of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Johnson This Morning. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Johnson, residents of south Bemidji was totally de- stroyed by iireat an early hour this” morning together with all their—household effects” and a small sum of money.
