SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST WAXES WARM. The contest for the speakership of the next house of representatives of the state legislature is waxing warm, with L. H. Johnson of Minne- apolis, speaker of the last house, and A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota, go- ing “neck and neck.” A special télegram from St. Paul to the Duluth News Tribune says of the contest: “St. Paul, Nov. 18.—Candidates for the speakership of the next house are feeling the results of the anti- pass bill, and as a result the settle- ment of the contest may be delayed longer than they had expected. In former years the members would shp into St. Paul soon and often after election, meet the candidates for speaker, give their pledges and soon it would be over. It was no difficulty then to call a caucas of members. “It is worse now. The members have to pay their own fares and they are not in any hurry to come to town just for the sake of some- body’s candidacy for speaker. There has been some coming each day, but the candidates admit that the thing is not developing as fast as they had hoped. “L. H. Jonnson of Minneapolis today said that it might take sev- eral weeks before the contest would be settled. “The boomers for both Johnson and A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota, the two chief candidates for the job, were busy today and Sunday with the telephone conferring with mem- bers and trying to line up their strength. Neither side, however, claimed to have made any big gains, although both claim to be confident of winning. “L. C. Spooner of Morris, one of dropped factors in the Johnson or- ganization of two years ago, was in St. Paul today R. J. Wells of Breck- enridge, and W. A. Nolan of Grand Meadow also dropped in on Sunday, but neither side is claimihg these leaders. “0. N. Thundale, of Harmony, a member of the last house, is here, putting in some work for Rockne. W. H. Putman of Red Wing is here to staya few days and look after Rockne’s forces. They will probably open a room for headquarters, where they can meet the members as they come in. Several members are ex- pected in St. Paul tomorrow. “The candidates are planning to call some of the districts together for caucuses in the near future. If a couple of districts should cauéus and endorse one or the other of the candidates by a good major- ity, that would nearly settle the contest, considering that there are only two candidates with any great following, and each claims to have nearly enough to elect him.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] The University of Nebraska is talking of making Bryan chancellor. He is just out of chancery, too. There’s something strangely fam- iliar about this Casablanca. Didn’t the boy stand on the burning deck there, or something? A Philadelphia woman’s specu- lative deals in the last year amounted to $8,000,000. Sometimes that place doesn’t seem so terribly slow, after all. The latest simplified spelling re- forms include “doubt” and ‘“debt” without a “b” and island without “on an s”. If those learned gentlemen keep on they will soonbe trying to write “society” without a $.

Cutlers have certain rules for sharp- ening razors, pocketknives, ete. “A razor,” said one of the craft, “must be laid flat on the hone, because it is hollow ground and requires--a fine edge. But a pocketknife requires a stif edge, and the moment you jay It flat on a stone, 50 as to touch the pol- Ished side, you injure the edge. It must be held at an angle of twenty to’ twenty-five degrees and have an edge HAMBERLAIN COUGH ) ‘CURES CougFl‘}s Colds, OUP, Whooping Cough ‘This remedy can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take.

Reade’s Dramatic Failures. i It was not until 1856, when Charles Reade was forty-two, that he obtained reputation as a novelist, a reputation to which he did not aspire, for it was. his ambition to be a dramatist. From the beginning of his career until the last year of his life he wrote play aft- er play, every one of them a failure and he alone refusing to believe it. He attributed their want of success to ev- ery cause but the right one, and he went on squandering the money gained from his more successful novels on the production of bad plays. “The ac- tors are duffers, sir,” he would say, “who have defiled my composition, mixed ditch water with my cham- pagne, murdered my work,” and he would pour out maledictions on the heads of all who had anything to do with the unfortunate piece, from scen- ic artist to super, never conceiving that he himself was the sole culprit. And yet, as his novels show, he had dramatic ability of a high order and could produce the most thrilling ef- fects and situations. He wrote two or three dramas in collaboration. with Tom Taylor and Dion Boucicault that | had a brief success, but apart from these he never wrote a play that met with the slightest degree of popular favor. ADVISES ‘AGAINST HIGHER SALARIES President Makes Request of Cabinet Officers. Washington,- Nov. 1 .—Every mem- ber of the cabinet was present at the day’s meeting, After the meeting it became public that the ‘cabinet has been asked by the president to make no recommendations in their annual estimates to be submitted to congress for the increase. of salaries in their respective departments. This will ap- ply to government employes .throush: out the country as well as at Wash- Ington. The suggestion was made to the cabinet some time before the elec- tion, but, it .was explained at the White House, has no connection with the attack made in the Democratig:| platform on the increase of expendi- tures of the federal government. The request that no increases in salaries be made does not apply to cases of automatic promotion of em- vloyes from one fi rade to another. RAISE THE MERICAN FLAG Citizens of French lsland Engage in Manifestation. Paris, Nov. 18.—The Temps pub- lishes a dispatch from St. Pierre, Miquelon, the French island off the coast of Newfoundland, saying that there has been a big manifestation in St. Pierre in favor of free schools. The movement was created by the Clerical party. The people got out of. hand and made their way to the house of the governor, where they raised aloft the American flag. The police are insufficient and trouble is feared. } $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that scieuce has been ablo to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
