An ad in the mail is worth two in the mind. Hell is paved with good intentions. Brother “Ad Men,” let’s not furnish any of the paving stones for this decidedly undesireable habitation, Don’t stop when you have worked out your plans; don’t rest until you have acted upon each plan and the results come in. Then everything will be so satisfactory you won’t care to rest. On the first page will be found the platform on which Al H. Jester, candidate for the state senate, solicits the votes in the Sixty-first legislative district. It is built of very sound and first-class material, and is long and broad enough for any ordinary sized man to ride over the breakers and sail with flying colors into the coveted harbor. Reapportionment will be one of the main storms to be looked after, and we must not forget that Mr. Jester promises to legislate himself out of of office.—Shevlin Herald. For the state ticket Albert Kaiser of Bagley, who desires to be state treasurer, has an extremely strong following throughout the district. It is believed he will go to the con- vention with practically the solid strength of the district behind him. He is well known in all sections, his Republicanism has been well tested and his business ability is admitted. The candidacy of R. J. Wells for state auditor will have considerable strength in the district, but it will have to divide its strength with E. J. Herringer of Ada. At the same time State Auditor Iverson has many friends in the district, and he will have some of the Ninth district delegates.— Pioneer Press. | BY THE WAY | It is better to be a spoke in the wheel of progress than the driving power in the plant that is getting nowhere. It is said that a man who squeezes a dollar seldom squeezes his wife, and on looking over his subscription list a Wisconsin editor observes that there must be some nice married ladies in his town who are not getting what they deserve. It would be a great thing for humanity if part of us could be broken to wear an interfering rig like horses. FIRE DESTROYS DICKIE'S TAILOR ESTABLISHMENT Early-Morning Blaze Gutted Buildin Adjoining Bacon Block and Dam- aged Armstrong’s Kitchen. Fire, at about 6 o’clock this morn- ing, totally destroved the fixtures and stock of tailoring goods owned by Hugh Dickie and gutted the building occupied by Mr. Dickie, adjoining the Bacon block on the west, besides doing much damage to the kitchen attached to the Arm- strong restaurant. Mr. Dickie places his loss at about $1300, with something about $500 insurance; Mr. Armstrong’s loss was about $500, partially covered by insurance. Reports differ as to the origin of the fire. Leonard Banz, who was employed in the tailor shop, states that he had put fire in the gasoline stove, and had a fire in the wood stove, and in some manner the fire started and soon envelorel the gasoline stove. He tried to extinguish the flames but was unsuccessful and barley got out of the building with- out being severely burned. The fire team and the members of the department responded promptly to the alarm, and the fire- men did splendid work in confining the fire to the tailor shop and the kitchen adjoining. Moral: Insure with the T. J. Mil- ler Insurance agency. MENTALLY UNBALANGED; GOMMITTED TO ASYLUM Asa Bradley, Homesteader Near Kelli, her, Has Strange Hallucinations. —Examined by Judge Clark. Asa Bradley, a homesteader who recently proved up on his home- stead in 154-29, Koochiching county, was today adjudged insane and ordered committed to the hospital at Fergus Falls. Bradley was given an exmanina- tion today before the sanity board, composed of Judge of Probate Clark, and Doctors Henderson and Ward, and his condition was such that it needed but little questioning to show that he was entirely unbalanced mentally, and would be a dangerous character to leave running at large. For three weeks past Bradley has been stopping at Kelliher and dur- ing the last ten days he has been acting queerly. He at one time rushed through the streets of Kelli- her, claiming he was the devil and ‘|asking everyone he met to Kkill him. Today he confidentially told Judge Clark that his grandfather was in hell and he wanted to bail him out. No particular reason is given for the unfortunate young man’s present condition. He bhas never indulged in intoxicating liquors to any extent, and until very recently was very reliable and steady in his habits.

Original “Deadwood Dick” IIl. Venice, Cal, March 15.—Richard Bullock, the original “Deandwood Dick,” is seriously ill here at the home of Mayor Eskins, who was his sub-mes- senger twenty years ago on the bull- ion runs between Lead, S. D., and Omaha. Bullock is sixty-five years old. He has only one eye and that af- fliction gave him the nickname “Dead- eye” before he came to own his latest snhriauet. Are you freguently hoarse?
