Dr. John W. Abercrombie, presi- dent of the University of Alabama, is mentioned as a probable candidate for Congress. The States that will elect gover- nors this fall are Maryland, Ken- tucky, Mississippi, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Edward F. Dunne, former mayor of Chicago, is expected soon to announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor of Illinois. Governor Bass of New Hampshire is said to be laying plans to succeed United States Senator Burnham, whose term will expire on March 3, 1913. Many of the politicians are now agreed in the opinion that the na- tional Democratic convention next year will meet in Baltimore and the Republican convention in Chicago. United States Senator Britow of Kansas has declared himself against the renomination of President Taft and in favor of Senator LaFollette for the presidency. Progressive Republicans of Minne- sota are arranging for a State ban- quet in Minneapolis, September 7, at which time a boom for Senator La- Follette of Wisconsin for president is to be launched. . New Mexico is to hold her first State election next November. The present indications are that the ques- tion of prohibition will figure con- spicuously in the campaign for State officers and members of the legisla- ture, Joseph E. Davies, who has been chosen member of the Democratic Na- tional Committee from Wisconsin, is a resident of Watertown and a grad- uate of the law school of the Uni- . versity of Wisconsin. William J. Browning, for many years chief clerk of the house of rep- resentatives, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the First New Jersey district, to succeed the late Congressman Loud- enslager. For the first time since the Repub- lican party began its long lease of power in Massachusetts, now more half a century ago, its control of the legislature promises to be seriously challenged in the elections this fall. In view of the general expectation that the Democrats will hold their national _convention .in.: Baltimore next year it is interesting to note that the party has met in.that city five times and that four of the can- didates nominated there were elected to the presidency. They were An- drew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk and Franklin Pierce. Hilections in the two new States of New Mexico and Arizona will be held in November and the United|' States senators will be chosen in Jan- uary. William M. Andrews, the pres- ent Republican Delegate from New Mexico, will be a candidate for Unit- ed States senator from that state, and Ralph H. Cameron, the present Republican delegate from Arizona, is expected to be in the running from that State. LIFE INSURANGE COMPANIES They Are Closely Observing Public Health Conditions. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Compa- nies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma- jority of applicants do not even su- spbect that they have the disease. He states that judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in di- rect touch wiiu the public, there is one preparation that has probably been more successful in relieving and curing these diseases than any reme- dy known. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root 18 soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures. We find that Swamp-Root is strict- 1y an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give 1 a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes—fifty-cents and one-dol- lar. However, :f you wish first to test the preparation, the manufacturers will gladly forward you a sample bottle by mail, absolutely free. Ad- dress Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Prayers have been written and en- graved on many small objects, but only one person ever has been patient and painstaking enough to inscribe a complete prayer on a grain of wheat. One day Sir Moses Montefiore received a small tin box in the mail. On the | cover of the box was written, “A prayer for Sir Moses Montefiore, by Bauch Mordecal, son of Zebi Hirsch Scheinemann. of Jerusalem.” The box contained a single grain of wheat, on which were inscribed in characters so small they could only be read with the aid of a powerful microscope the 386 Hebrew letters of the prayer and the date of the year (Hebrew reckoning), 5645. Sir Moses kept the prayer in his private desk until he died. and it is preserved with religious care by one of his friends. Merry-go-round. Coming across the Revere Beach fer- ry were two men whose anties at- tracted considerable attention. The younger would step around to the right side of his companion, and with- In a minute the elder would make a correspounding shift. At last the elder became {rritated. “Say. what are you trying to do, shifting around like this?" he demand- ed. “I'm deaf in my left ear and was trying to get where I'd hear well,” the younger replied. “And I'm blind in my left eye and wanted to see what was doing,” sald the other.—Boston Journal.

Sir Frederick was to respond to the toast “Applied Sclence.” It was long after midnight when the toast was pro- posed, and several speakers were still to be called. Rising in his place, the sclentist said: *At this hour of the night, or, rath- er, of the morning, my only interest in applied science is to apply the tip of the match to the side of the box upon which alone it ignites and to apply the flame so obtained to the wick of a bedroom candie.” A moment later Lowell tossed a pa- per across the table to him bearing these two lines: Oh, briet Sir Frederick, would that all could catch Your happy talent and supply your match! Stop in at the City Drug Store and LIFE BANISHMENT FROM PERAK One Hundred and Seventeen Persons Forced to Leave Country. 2 One Hundred and seventeen per- sons, chiefly habitual criminals, were banished for life from Perak last year. Of these ninety-nine were Chinese, twelve of whom had been convicted of participating in unlaw- ful societies. It was discovered that the number of prison offenses varied in indirect ratio with the price of tin. When tin was high and the in- dus{ry .accordingly progperous, jn- mates of jails were few, and visa versa. Loss of Cow’s Milk. A cow that loses her milk between milkings is hard to cure. Some- times it can be checked or stopped by using one or more rubber bands around the teats. Milking a cow three times a day will avoid some of the loss. Some cows seem incurable, and about all that can be done with them it to keep them to feed calves with. The frequent removal of the milk by the' calves will prevent enough milk accumulating to leak out. “I have a world of confidence in 116 Third Street Hand Made, Hand Engraved in Artistic and Individual Designs You ¢an buy Banquet Rings of most any jeweler, but you cannot buy the Banquet Rings in the styles we manufacture in our own workshop and at the price we areselling them for '‘anywhere else but atour store 116 3rd Street. large variety in our own 'workshop. us you buy at first cost, we save you the Jobbers profit as we charge for the gold and profit for making We are the only Manufacturers of this class of goods in Northern Minnesota others who have not the same facilities cannot compete with us same only.
