Gronna has been offered the appoint- ment as U. S. Minister to Denmark, | according to Washington dispatches. | Mr, Gronna is said w have the offer under consideration.

The posi- tion carries a salary of $10,000 a/ year. i ! DENIES OFFER, Grand Forks, N. D., April 6.—For- mer Senator Gronna «aid at his home in Lakota, N.

C. Remington, In 1879 his parents migrated from Fountain City, Wiscon- |; ain, to Cass county. Mr. Lenhart has/| been prominent in lodge, civic and pub- lic affaira in the city for years. ‘A. W. Lucas, president of the city commission, was about as happy as the successful candidates today, for Mr. Lucas will step out of office after 12 years of ardous service on the com- mission, and he refused earnest peti- tions of his friends to stand for re- election. Bees Bismarck Ahead, During the time that Mayor Lucas was in office the city has taken a big} jump forward in public improvements until today it is ahead of every city in the atate. Among the improvements inade wap a system of sidewalks and crosswalks, a sanitary sewer system. a surface sewer system, Soares miles of pav- ing, the ‘building of a city hal) and the erection of the. municipal auditor:- um. “Bismarck,” said Mayor Lucas to; day,. ‘is’ ahead of every city .o| size in the, country. All of the. Hs members of the city government 4c- setve great ‘credit. for, the work they have done.” ’ : Served Eight Years. Chris Bertsch. who quits the com: mission after eight years service, has kept Bismarck freer of crime during the last four years when he has heen commissioner of fire. and police, than during any other similar period in her history, During his first four years on the commission Mr. Bertsch wus commissioner of waters and sewers. C. W. Cashman, elected’ police mag- istrate, a position: now held by B. F. Flanagan by appointment, sald today: “I wish to thank my friends and | hope that my conduct in office will! not be such that they will regret they sup-. ported me.” The race for poli¢e magistrate was in doubt until the last precinct was in, when Mr. Cashman forged ahead of Anton Beer. The appointments to he made by the new administration, including fire and police department appointments, are made as of May 1. Fargo, April 6—H, W.

Briggs. ‘Washington, April 6.—The Novem- ber blizzard of ballots snowed uMor many a doughty Democrat beyond re- vival in this spring’s sunshine. But not General Isaac R. Sherwood -late congressman from Toledo, Ohio, and now a hustling young newspaper correspondent for the News-Bee, He’s too sturdy an oak for the temp- est to uproot. The new session finds him right here at the old: stand, watching with keen blue eyes the leg- falative mill a-grinding. At 85 he turns from one job to an- other as confidently as any boy. He led his ticket in ‘November, but the ticket didn’t. do as well, ‘so a Repub- lican now occupies his seat. | That is-a mere detail to this 'grix- sled though sprighty veteran ‘of. Civil war battles and fierce political frays. He came to Congress first'48 yeara ago—the same year Uncle ‘Joe Can- non arrived., He has been here more intermittently, than Uncle Joe; first as ‘@ Republican and later as a Democrat. Mere burial in a political ‘landslide is not going to kep him'away now. He turns to newspaper work, because. in the interims-of public service, he has; ben. writer, editor and’ publisher of newspaper and other periodicals. | Speaking of Cannon a few years ago; when the House honored that. stal- wart’s 40 years in the’ hatness, Cen-| eral Sherwood said something that ap: | plies equally to himself: “We will concede that Uncle Joe taal | passed the period of adolescence and | that he has reached the age of dis-}. cretion, But he has not reached the | acme of: his intellectual development. When he delivers his masterpiece in this chamber, or in a larger forum, I hope I may be present with ears erect to hear or eyés alert to read," And he will be, for General Sher- wood's eyes and ears are keen. He is the only Washington news- paper correspondent, with a special office in the very Capitol itself. His associates in the House have seen to that. i The gossipy letters that go back to Toledo from this vantage point are | mot a stenographic report-of. debates, | nor dry detail of measures, passed. Rather; they give the sidelights and |’ lively obgervations of::a--man whose demonstrated. bravery in battle makes him all the keener in the fight against militarism, whose nature’is to despise sham and hypocrisy, and love man- kind. Sometimes. these: letters drop into} verse, or touch upon the beauties of | Nature. Writing recently to his thou- | - jands of reader friends in the chillier | ' clime of Toledo, General Shetwoud penned this about the balmy Washing. ton sights: “The violets are springing up through the grass; the crocuses and jonquils are in full bloom; the japon- ica bushes‘are ablaze in scarlet blos- soms, and the tall forsythias wave their yellow branches like wands of gold. The tulip beds in gorgeous red, pink and yellow surround the Capitol.” Yes, poetry and spring are in the blood of this young reporter of |85. “I’m ‘the happiegt lame duck in Washington,” he says.
