Mr. Jere Sowle was called to Rensselaer Saturday to look after a bucking automobile. It had been too much minutes and soon administered treatit. He diagnosed the trouble in a few minutes and soon administered traetment that made the critter perfectly docile and ready for the road and for business. —Monticello Journal.

He'calls them the Golden King pumpkins.

Congressman Crumpacker and Finley P. Mount Will Address Voters on Evening of That Date. Congressman Crumpacker will speak in Rensselaer on the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 26th, and on the Bame occasion Finley P. Mount, candidate for state attorney general, will be here and the evening will be vided between the two speakers. This will be a good opportunity for all to hear the" issues discussed and should bring out a large audience. The failure of Judge Crumpacker to appear here on Oct. sth was due to a mistake about the date. As the Republican said when Congressman Crumpacker was expected before, the voters should turn out en masse to hear their representative in congress. He is their servant and is asking a re-election based upon his record. He will be pleased to meet all of his constituents and his speech will be worth coming miles to hear. Mr. Mount is a nephew of the late Governor Mount. He is reported to be a fluent speaker and a man of marked legal ability. As he aspires to become the state’s attorney-gener-al, the legal advisor of the people and the man to look after the rights of the state, he deserves a large audience. Together these men should bring out a great crowd and it is hoped that farmers as well as town people will set aside this date to hear Messrs. Crumpacker and Mount.

TWO REPUBLICAN ORATORS HERE ON OCTOBER 26.

DISASTROUS FIRES RAGING IN MINNESOTA.

Many Lives Lost In Forest Fires Near Warroad and Baudette and Whole Families Destroyed. Terrific forest fires have been raging for several days in Minnesota, and some estimates of the ’dead are as high as 1,000. On Monday it was reported that for a distance' of fifty miles from Baudette and the Rainy River to Warroad the forest was a solid mass of flames. Baudette is said to be only the charred remnant of a town, gpooner is entirely wiped off the map, while Cedar Spur, Graceton, Pitt, Swift and Roosevelt, all hamlets, have been destroyed. Refugees from the fire reported that they saw many bodies of dead along the line of their escape. The fire is* worst near the Manitoba line.

Slack Attendance at Slack Speech at Opera House Monday

The Jasper County Democrat thought it was a great joke that County Chaiit. man Leopold engaged the Princess theatre for the speech of l Congressman Crumpacker, with the moving pictures thrown in. Owing to the fact that the opera house had been engaged for another purposes on last Wednesday night Mr. Leopold engaged the Princess theatre. As Mr. Phillips gets his pictures by the week and had them ordered for use on Wednesday night, it was expected to give a free Bhow to children ana regular theatre goers before the speech" and another one after the speech. But later the engagement of a show at the opera house was cancelled and Mr. Leopold decided to hold the Crumpacker speech there. As Is understood, a mistake in the date by the chairman, was responsible for the non-appearance of Mr. Crumpacker. Monday night of this week, L. Slack, a much noted democrat and a frequent candidate for about everything that is loose, came to Rensselaer to speak. The Jasper County Democrat had talked up the speech and made an Effort to get a big crowd out to see him and hear him. Monday little bills with a mourning border and a long mourning dash and a couple of dagger heads pointed out the face that that was the night for Mr. Slack to point out the road for democrats to travel. The band played and every democrat of prominence in the city was prodded in the ribs and told to come out. But Slack was not as magnetic as his split in the middle name wouldAndicate him to be and when it came time for speech there Were less than seventy-flve people in the audience and the audience did not grow very much either after the speech begun. The “alert” L. Ert was greeted by a proposition about’as chilly as Alaska in midwinter and the temperature did not warm up much with his attempt at enthusiasm. Brother Babcock doubtless thought that it might have been a good thing flb have had a few vaudeville stunts, to sandwich in during his speech. It seems" that the democrats are not very enthusiastic this year in Jasper county, owing to the fact that their state platform has declared for the repeal of county local option and their candidate for representative has declared against repeal, and a lof of the farming element of the party are wondering what the democratic party is going to do to increase the prosperity so general at present. . Even after the Crumpacker speech had been advertised to take place at the opera house there was a big crowd out to hear it, but L. Ert Slack found a reception that would have required a few live acts to give him an audience of any proportions. f Probably Brother Bab is a Convert of “specialties” as an accompaniment to democratic speeches by (this timel It took the combined efforts of Attorneys Honan and Hunt, and Real Estate Dealer Littlefield to get Mr. Slack warmed up enough to leave on the 10:05 train. It took a deal of explaining to give the renowned Mr. Slack a satisfactory reason for the small attendance. Possibly Bab’s new black bordered bill had something to do with it. a

Justice Hughes resigned as governor of New York to accept the appointment made several monthfe ago by President! Taft;. Following the ceremonies of his induction into office short memorial services for the deceased chief justice w,ere held and the court adjourned until Tuesday morning.
