SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM T Kelliher Journal: It is reported that O. B. Olson will be a candidate for county commissioner from this district at the coming election. Mr. Olson was very reticent, however, when seen by a Journal reporter, having not yet decided whether or not he will be a candidate. Black- duck already has two candidates in the field, and undoubtedly Baudette or Spooner will strive for representa- tion. Commissioner Geo. Gunder. son will not be a candidate for re- election. Says the Hibbing Tribune: “When the Elks and Bemidji and the middle of June all get together the thermometer will get cracked if it does not watch out.” KING EDWARD IN RUSSIA. Greeted in Bay of Reval by Emperor Nicholas. Reval, June 10.—The meeting be- tween King Edward and Emperor Nicholas occurred with due formality. It was the first time that an English monarch had ever made an official visit in Russian waters. ‘When the British squadron escort- fng the royal yacht Victoria and Al- bert, with King Edward on board, en- tered the bay of Reval the customary salutes were fired and after an ex- change of formal visits the king and emperor lunched on board the Russian yacht Polar Star as the guests of the dowager empress. The day was favored by brilliant and beautiful summer weather. The arrival of the British royal yacht, es- corted by a division of British cruis- ers painted a leaden gray and escorted into port by a detachment of Russian torpedo boat destroyers, presented a magnificent naval pageant. Thousands of spectators had gathered on the battlemented summit of the Mont de la Cathedral, along the wooded shores of the bay and at other points of van- tage on-the seawall to witness the in- coming of the ships of war.

Milwaukee, June 10.—What is re- garded as the most important conven- tien in the history of the brewing in- terests of the country opened when the members of the United States Brewers' association met at the Ter- minal building in this city for the for- ty-eighth annual meeting. During the convention the prohibition question is expected to be discussed from every standpoint. - Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee, who has started a war against the dive saloon in Milwaukee, made an ad- dress of welcome and in the course of his remarks made reference to the warfare being made against all sa- loons which do not eome within the “decent” class. The mayor and chief of police of Milwaukee, in a petiton to the common council, have placed the ban nn about fifty saloons of the class considered as “low” and recom- mended that no license be granted to those contained in the list. The step taken by Milwaukee'’s executive is be- lleved to be in line with the policy of the Brewers’ association of the country. President Julius Liebmann of the association followed with his annual address, in which he referred to the regulation of the saloon and advocated the spreading of the conviction that the brewing industry stands for tem- perance in the best sense of the word.

Manning of Alabama and E. T. Blodgett of Miesissippi, both unseated delegates, will make ad- dresses. Other meetings are being ar- ranged for every night of the week.
