Not so up here in balmy Northern Minnesota. It’s just too lovely for anything.§ EES Ea Do you know, Mr. Gitizen, that northeastern Minnesota is just now enjoying an era of prosperity that would be regarded as a pbencminal boom in most sections? It’s a fact. Don’t worry about politics. Boost state development, drainage, etc; elect Cole and Gunn quietly but em- phatically and this northland will’ grow under the magic influence of their wise legislation in a manner that wil] make this the richest terri- tory between the two oceans. No need to worry. Tue GREAT Johnson drama _ has en played and the curtain rung jown on the Jast actin which “John W.” Socialist-Labor, will appear. The supreme court bas decided that Jvbn W.

Thatis not Grand Rapic Taxes Raised 33 1-3 Per Gent. Auditor Spang has received from State Auditor Iverson a report of the work of the state board of equaliza- tion on the Itasca county assessment returns. The board raised the assess- ment of all personal and real property 33% per cent in towns 56 and 57 range 22, town 56 range 23, town 56 range 24, towns 55 and 56 range 25. These include all iron townships ard the villages of Grand Rapids, Bovey, Coleraine, Holman and Nashwauk. Considering that these villages were already assessed at a fair valuation the raise is an injustice to property owners. The iron properties can easily stand the raise. One year old horses, mules and asses were raised 2) per cent throughout the county, two-year-olds 10 per cent. Stallions, high grade mares and stock horses were raised in the villages of Bovey gud Gratan 50 percent, and in the organized townships 250 per cent. Shares of bank stock in the village of Northome was raised 10 per cent. Sheep 20 per cent all over the county: melodians and organs, 5 per cent; farm tools, implements and machin- ery, 90 per cent. Itasca county 1s now the fourth largest in assessed valuation in the state, Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis only enjoying a higher valuation. GOUNTY ATTORNEY A Brief Biographical Sketch of the Democratic Nominee. 0. M. KING A SELF-MADE MAN His Early Struggles For An Educa- tion Indicates Character of the Man—A Clean Record and Friend of the People. Cyrus M. King, candidate for county attorney, was born in a log cabin on a homestead in Wright county, Min- nesota, about 47 years ago, and lived there and just across the line in Stearns county, until four years ago, when he brought his wife, to whom he was married in 1884, from a hospi- was in such a poor state of health from overwork that President Fol-| well asked him to leave the institu- tion. He pleaded to be~ailowed to remain, but the president was obdur- late, and directed the professors not to bear his recitations, and he was forced to leave. He returned to his home and after a lingering illness of nearly a year, he resumed the teach- ing of school, and began the study of law. ‘He was employed as principal lof the graded and High schools of (Montrose, Fair Haven and Annandale, becoming one of the best known educators of that portion of the state. In 1889 he was admitted to the Bar of this state, afterwards admitted to practice before the U.S. Circuit and District Courts, and was engaged in the practice of law at New Haven and Annandale until bis removal to this county. This general run of his life was’ interrupted by his appoint- ment as U. S. Special Examiner of Pensions, which position he obtained in’ 1886, after a competitive examina- tion in which he stood first in the U, S. In this, the only public office he lever held, his duty was, day after day, to hear cases, examine and sift evidence, ard decide the case upon its merits, and out of the hundreds tal at Kansas City, Mo., to Itasca |decided upon and reported, he holds At least one distinct issue has been drawn in this campaign. Governor Johnson says that the present rail- road laws, now on the statute books are:‘‘sufficient and efficient,” with the , single addition of a reciprocal demur- . rage law. Mr. A. L. Cole, on the other hand, stands both for the rigid enforcement of the present laws and for certain new lawsewhich he consi- ders very disirable. | One of the new laws advocated by Mr. Cole would make rates establish-| | | i { ed by the railroad commissioners yo into effect at once. As the law now force a court review before putting new rates into effect. It was over this point that the United States senate debated for mopths, but there was never any question as to the feel- ing of the people of Minnesota on the question. Another law that meets Mr. Cole’s approval is that suggested by Com- missioner C. F. Staples avd would »} provide for the-cash valuation of all Cyrus M.

His early life was marked by hard- ships and privations incident to pio- neer life. He began his tirst work away from home on the old St. Paul and Pacitic railroad, in leading horses On the ‘dump carts” then in use in making “‘cuts” and “fills,” and was the youngest child employed by that company in the construction of that railroad. His education was obtained in a log school house, attended in the winter, and the painstaking instrue- tion of a gentle mother, until at the age of fifteen he entered the Howard Lake High school from which he graduated at the age of nineteen: be- ing compelled to stay out and teach school one year in order to obtain money to finish the course. After graduating he began teaching school from which work he saved some mcney, and at the age of twenty-one entered the Classical Course of the University of Minnesota; paying his incidental expenses out of his meager savings and working for his board and lodging. Afters having credits in the graduating class, he the distinctive record of being over- ruled in only one case. His tempor- lary appointment was made a perman- ent one, and accompanied by a per- sonal commendatory letter from Hon. H. M. Tellier the secretary of the Interior, and by one from General Banks, the Supervising Examiner, but on the incoming of President Cleveland, he received an intimation that his services were no longer needed, and returned from the south to his northern home, preferring as he himself says: ‘‘to retire to private life than to give to the defenders of the flag less than the exact justice their services and sacrifices demanded —W® grant less than the nation had promised.” ‘ He is a member of the State Bar Association of this state, and posses- ses the confidence of every judge with whom he bas an extended acquaint ance. Mr. King is a thorough commoner of good judgment, of plain common sense, and of the utmost judicial fairness, and as we come to know his history, his struggle with poverty, his efforts to educate himself, it is little wonder that his spmpathies are with the “children of tuil’? whether Jabor- er, lumberjack or homesteader.
