Very Probable That His Decision Not to Be a Candidate Will Be Overcome. In spite of the fact that Mayor J. A. Ludington has declined to be a candidate for another term, it can be stated with comparative safety that the entire council will again submit their names to the voters on March 14 next, It has been persistently rumor- ed that this was the case, but un- til this afternoon no direct in- formation could e elicited from an authoritative source. How: ever, a talk with a member of the council this afternoon resulted in proving that the rumor was well founded and that every member of the council is willing to make another run providing Mayor Ludiagton’s consent to allow his name to appear at the head of Ists were obtained. The council- man stated that he had received numerous inquiries from friends regarding his future action in the matter, but had not given out the exact situation until today. He also stated that in view of the fact tlat many citizens of the city had urged himself and other members of the city council to again allow their names to be used at the spring election, they decided to use thszir influence with Mayor Ludington to gain his consent to make another run, and expected to be successful in this. Numerous conferences have taken place between Mayor Lud- inton and the other members of the council and much pressure is being brought to bear upon him in order to influence him in Providing he decides the matter. to be a candidate, it is expected by the members of the council that there will be no opposition to the old ticket.

Papers were prepared this morning by H. J. Loud, attorney for the Bemidji Brewing com- pany, against the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba Railway com- pany enjoining the company from putting the railway through the property of the brewing com- pany, which is located on Lake Irvine. It is claimed by the plaintiffs that the surveyors of the railway company came to the property upon which the plant of the brewing company is located and surveyed a line through their lots just a few feet back of the brewery, and that providing the road is built according to this survey it will interfere with the operation of the brewery to such an extent that it will be neces- sary to remove the plant. The case will be heard by Judge Spooner, but’ as yet the date of the hearing has not been set. When You Have a Cold. The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the free use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. This remedy liquefies the tongh mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration, and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows.

Everything has progressed very satisfactorily so far, and we do not anticipate any trouble in completing the contract a month before the time liwit expires. We have about 200 men at work on the right of way and have graded approxi mately five miles of the road. We plan to have the road in such shape that trains may be run over the line by above date, and unless the spring season is very unfavorable we will.” Men are very plentiful this winter, and although few areidle the contractors have been suc cessful in securing all that they have required for the work. The wages are fair, Common labor- ers draw $1.75 per day, teams- ters $26 per month and board, foremen " from $2.50 to $5 per day. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. Thereisonly one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deaf- ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Bustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dol- lars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Care. —F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
