Out for Congress. L. 0. Thorpe, of Willmar, has sent out circulars announcing that he is a candidate for the Republican nom- ination for congressman-at-large. He is running on a straight Taft basis.

Such hair averag- es two thousandths of an inch in di- ameter. Expressed in decimals it is .002 of an inch. A Lot of Explaining.

He neglected to mention the $25,000 given to Penrose. Roosevelt says that both gentlemen are liars. Arch- bold has sailed for Europe but before he left stated that he would probably sue Roosevelt for libel. Roosevelt asked permission of the senate com- mittee to appear before it and clear himself. There you are, gentlemen. You can pay your money and take your choic THIS IS MY 59th BIRTHDAY. Dorgey W. Shackleford. Dorsey W.
