Harrison, son of the agsassinated mayor and himself may- or for two terms, was chosen the dem- ocratic * candidate for mayor while from the list of several candidates Dr. Charles E. Merriam was chosen to head the republican ticket. Dr. Merriam is a professor in the University of Chicago and is a mem- ber of the Chicago city council. He obtained much fame as the head of the Merriam commission which in- vestigated and unearthed wholesale frauds and extravagance in many of the different city departments in Chicago. He is recognized as stand- ing for municipal purity and pro- gress and is generally taken as a tri- bute to the republicans that they have named him as their candidate for mayor. He admits that his cam- paign expenses were §$40,000 and says that the money was furnished by two wealthy, public spirited men who are in hopes that Chicago may be “cleaned up.” Smulski, who had the backing of the republican machine which of course included the support of Mayor Busse, ran third while John R. Thompson, who operates 40 restaur- ants in Chicago, was second, leaving Tom Murray whose bid to fame lies largely in his unique method of ad- vertising, received less than 3,000 votes while Dr. Merriam’s vote ran up to more than 54,000. Carter Harrison’s only real oppon- ent was former Mayor Dunn, who came within 3,000 votes of landing the nomination. Now the question arises, “Does the nomination of a man like Dr. Mer- riam really mean that Chicago is get- ting good or will the election result in the reins of government once more going into the hands of Carter Har- rison, during whose administration Chicago firmly established a reputa- tion for wickedness, municipal cor- ruption and about everything else that a city should not be. POOR LORIMER. Despite the pure food-law, the United States Senate appears willing to stand for a bad egg. It has de- cided to keep Lorimer, the blonde and brazen product of the corrupt Illinois legislature. For good and sufficient reasons, the United States senate is mot, at the present time, a shrine before which the American’ people-care to prostrate themselves. In fact, dur- ing the past few years, the respect and admiration of the ordinary citi- zen for “the greatest deliberative body in the world” has been so sadly shaken that about eight persons out of every ten have reached the con- clusion that “the senate is punk.” Therefore, the decision of the Sen- ate, ‘in the face of overwhelming cor- ruption, to permit Lorimer to retain his seat, is not going to increase the senate’s popularity. There is some satisfaction in the fact that 40 sen- ators were conscientious ‘enough to vote against Lorimer and' that the “jack pot” gentleman from Tllinois ‘was saved by a skiny vote of 6. It will be remembered that the voters of Illinois had declared, at the primary election, in favor of the re- turn of Albert J. Hopkins to the United States Senate. Through the influence of a political ring, of which Lorimer was an acknowledged leader, sufficient opposition was developed in the Illinois legislature to thwart the people’s desire to have Hopkins: re- turned. Still there were enough re- publicans who felt bound to obey the wishes of the people to prevent the | election of a senator without the aid of democrats. It was then that the scheme of bribing enough legislators to name a senator was hatched. Convincing evidence has been revealed, showing that a “jack pot”.of more than $50,- 000 was distributed to “friendly members of the legislature” Six members of the Illinois legislature have been indicted for participation in this corruption; two have confes- sed to having accepted bribes. This was the kind of a legislature: employed i which resulted in the election of Lorimer and in the face of ‘all this: the senate serenely votes Lorimer a member’ of this body. Probably the threat of Lorimer early in the con- troversy, that if he were denied his seat “there will be others who will and the sort of tactics have to take their medicine”, had a good deal to do with the way more than one senator voted. While it is to be regretted that Lorimer is to be permitted to con- tinue as a senator, and it will be a shallow honor for him from now on, the case is of benefit inasmuch as it has called for a frank and fearless discussion on the floor of the senate and probably means a hastening of! a direct vote for United States sen-! ators. Minnesotans note with pride the fact that both Senators Knute Nelson and Moses E. Clapp voted against permitting Lorimer to sit in the sen- ate.

H. shaw, United ‘States’ marshal;seized 11,500 pounds of butter, propemy of the Milton Dairy company, ‘on comp'aint of A, C. Houpt, United States district attorney. It is claimed that the butter bore no mark as to its alleged adulteration. The butter was claimed to be made under such a process that'it contains over 16 per cent water. In doing this the butter becomes subject of a spe- cial tax and a further tax of 10 cents per. pound, besides being clearly marked to show that it has been adulterated. The butter will be held by the mar- shal awaiting the action of the federa) district court. MAKES CHARGES IN'MEMOIRS May Stir Scandal in British War Of. fice. London, March 3.—That the Boer war was brought about by the machi- nation of English politicians in high places is the charge made public in the autobiography of the late Sir Will- jam Butler, military commander in South Africa just preceding the war. The publication is expected to force replies from Milner, Joseph Chamber- lain, who was colonial secretary at the time, and Earl Lansdowne, former secretary of war. A tremendous scandal is feared. WOMEN'S WOES Bemidji Women Are Finfling Relief At Last. | It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and| pains that afilict humanity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching| dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means tor- ture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kid- neys well and health is easily main- | tained. Read of a remedy for kid- neys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people in this locality. Mrs. F. Sankey, of Becida, Minu.,I that I could scarcely do anything. I also had dizzy spells and at such times spots apparently floated before my eyes.
