Senator Clapp is not going to lack opponents for his toga, when the legislature. takes up the matter of electing his successor, during the winter. of 191011, if reports printed in the twin city papers are to be relied upon. According ‘to popular rumor, T. B. Walker, the| millionaire lumberman of Minne- apolis; Frank B. Kelloge, the St. Paul attorney who, bas been mach in, the limelight as. the prosecutor of that unholy octopus, the Standard @il monopoly; Hovey C. Clarke, the Bfinneapolis lumberman who is closely allied to Thomas Shevlin, and a few other lesser lights are “hank- erin’ arter” Clapp’s seat in the senate. And one who is giving aly of these prospective candidates, much | 5ald: serious thought is Governor, John A.

The edition is chock full of inter- esting information of Hubbard county’s great resources, and is pro- fusely illustrated with carefully- selected half-tone reproductions of farm scenes, showing the evolution from the forest to the finest farms in the state. The people of Akeley and other parts of Hubbard county are to be congratulated on the enterprise shown by Manager Charles F. Scheers in issuing so valuable and comprehen- sive a “boom”— one that is bound to attract settlers tethe cut-over farm lands of that section. CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. 6. Rutledge.] Philadelphia would like to have William Penn reinterred in its own soil. It was less grateful to him at the time of his death. The latest date set for the end of the world is ‘Sept. 15, but it will scarcely be worth while to put this down on your list of coming busi- mness engagements. The report that every Carnegie library would soon be equipped with a life-sized replica of the diplodocus is probably an error. However, we never owned one, so can’t say, exactly. We abhor the cold-blepdedness of those journals that are so viciously attacking Adam. We do not deny that Adam made some mistakes, but blood is thicker than water and we are gojng. to. stand by him, WHOLESALE HEROIC RESCUES Police and Flremen Distinguish Themselves at Brooklyn Fire.
