SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE ELLIOTT
WORRIES DEMOCRATS.
Governor May Go Outside His Party
to Make the Appointment, It Is
Feared, "Tho There Are Six Demo
cratic Lawyers Whose Claims Are
Being Uurged Upon Him.
Local democrats are very much wor
ried lest Governor John A. Johnson ap
point a republican to succeed Judge
C. B. Elliott, who wiU resign from the
district bench of this county to be
come a supreme court justice Jan. 1.
The active democrats here insist that
they are entitled to the appointment
and are making an active campaign to
secure that end.
Two republican lawyers are said to be
in the field. Each of them has some
strong backing and the prominence they
have attained is greatly bothering both
the democratic canaidates and the
party workers.
"We must have a democrat in Judge
Elliott's place," declared a well-known
democrat today. "WTe are entitled to
it. We have good men in the race arid
the party workers here are a unit in de
manding that one of them be appointed.
We don't care so much which one ot
them is the appointee.
There alwavs is a great hue and cry
about making the bench non-partisan.
In no better way can this end be at
tained than by putting a democrat in
Judge Elliott's place. That will give
the democrats two and the republicans
four members of the district bench. In
tha tway we will be given a fair rep
lesentation and one that the relative
strength of the party is surely entitled

The race for the appointment be
tween the democratic aspirants is fast
becoming a very exciting one. There
are six men in the field, and each of
thpm is bringing all possible influence
to bear upon the governor. The attor

the candidates and others have been
tions to the governor with expressions
of their preference.
The democrats most prominentlyjnen

Donadue, C. J. Bartleson, A. B. Choate,
Harry S. Mead, Judge C. M. Pond and

Minneapolitans are again simmering
with the heat which old Sol seems to
have been saving up since the torrid
weather of three weeks ago. The shirt
waist man is out again and pedestrians
on the melted asphalt streets are ask
ing the same hot weather questions.
However, there is hope ahead,* as the
weather man is confident of showers to
night and cooler weather Saturday.
If the cooler weather comes tomor
row the medical men of the city do not
think there will be any heat prostra
tions, as they usually come after the
victims are worn out by sleepless nights
and fiery days. However, the hospitals
and drug stores are prepared to give out
emergency relief at short notice.
Again the dispensers of cooling drinks
and non-energy-producing viands are
reaping a harvest. The mint crop is
barely adequate for the supply and the
ice cream companies are sending out
thousands of gallons of the frosty
food.

FLOUR PRICES GO DOWN
REDUCTION OF FORTY" TO FORTY
FIVE CENTS A BARREL FOR PAT-
ENTS TODAY.
Flour prices were reduced today by
the Minneapolis millers to $5.50(a)5.60
a barrel for first patents, in carloads,
f. o. b. Minneapolis, which is 40 to 45
cents lower than was quoted yesterday.
This is the sharpest reduction for
some time. Millers said it was due to
the good reports from the crops, the
prospect^ of new wheat in a few weeks
more, and the completion ol southwest
ern winter wheat mills, which, with
cheaper cash wheat, are doing a good
business.
It is expected th will

time.
FIVE WINDOWS BROKEN
BY A DRUNKEN HAN
William Flynn, well known to the po
lice, had a good time imitating the mys
terious window smasher last night, and
before the police caught him he had
broken five windows in the new Bou
tell Jbuilding on Fifth street and nearly
killed himself.
Flynn smashed a window the door
and crawling into the store made his
way to the windows opening on the
alley. He smashed one of these and in
doing so cut an artery in his wrist. He
then crawled out of the building and
attacked the other alley windows, when
he was taken in charge by Detective
Louis Hansen, who happened along at
that time.
He was taken to the city hospital, and
will be arraigned in court tomorrow on
a charge of disorderly conduct. Flynn
formerly worked for the Boutell com
pany, and last night bo became intoxi
cated, imagining for a while that he
had a grudge against the firm.
The fact that the windows were brok
en and that one of the carpenters found
several matches in a pile of shavings
near the elevator led to the belief at
first that an attempt had been made to
fire the building. The matches are now
thought to have been dropped by work
men and accidentally swept up with the
shavings.
DUNNELL ABOUT READY

ASSESSMENTS SOMETIMES BOOST-
ED AS A RESULT OF KICKS BY
THRIFTY CITIZEN. a'u
R. J. Elliott of the Great Western
Stove Repair company is sorry he
wasted any time with the board of
equalization today. He kicked against
being assessed for $250 for horses and
wagons, at his home and explained that
they were the same animals and vehi
cles used in his business. The equaliz
ers examined the assessment on the stove
concern and found that it amounted to
only $1,450. They inquired how this
was when he claimed some time ago,
after a fire, to have had a stock worth
$40,000. He explained that he did^not
handle certain lines of stoves any long
er and that his stock was now insured
for only $2,500.
"We'll stuke $250 from your house
hold assessment, and add it to the
business assessment," said Mr. Chat
field.

A collateral concern known as the Twin

TWO GET BACK PENSIONS
MINNESOTANS ALLOWED CLAIMS
THAT HAVE BEEN PRESSED BY
ADJUTANT GENERAL.
Two important pension claims have
been allowed Minnesotans, and notice
has been accordingly received by Adju
tant General Wood, thru whose depart
ment the cases were handled. In one
case the applicant gets $1,100 back
pension. In the other, the parties re
ceive $670 cash.
During 1894 Oliver H. Kinyon ot
Withrow, Minn., a civil-war veteran,
made application for a pension. His
application showed the man in such a
wrecked physicial condition as to be
unable to do any work. Two ribs were
broken and pressing on his left lung.
His case was not pressed, but two years
later, 1896, his application was re
newed. The pension department at
Washington has at last awakened to
disposition of the matter, and today
notified Adjutant General Wood that
Withrow is allowed a pension of $8
a month from 1894 and $12 a month,
beginning June 7, 1905, thus giving
him about $1,100 in cash now available.
The second case is that of Margaret
Meaney of Austin, widow of Thomas
Meaney, a civil-war veteran. She filed
application for a pension Dec. 12, 1904.
Today General Wood received word
that she is allowed $12 a month from
May, 1905, and $2 a month for each
of seven minor children. She also gets
$670 back-pay allowance. Mrs. Mea
ney is in reduced circumstances and
the news of the pension allowance will
doubtless be joyfully received.
INVENTOR IS PLEASED
Dr. M. A. Couney Talks of the Baby In
cubator Work at Wonderland.
Dr. Martin A. Couney, inventor of the
infant incubator and president of the
Incubator Society of the World, of
which the institute at Wonderland_park
is a branch, is in the city today. Prior
to his invention, Dr. Couney was a Ber
lin physician who made a specialty of
obstetrics. After testing the incubator
in his private practice he offered it to
the public and next placed it on!ex
hibition at the Berlin exposition.
Dr. Couney's visit was occasioned by
his desire to personally see the mite of
humanity that came to the Minneap
olis institute last Tuesday, which
weighs but a pound and five ounces.
''There is a case at the Wonderland
incubator institute that interests me
even more," said Mr. Couney today.
"It is the one that is called the 'blue
baby,' because of its defective heart
action. In the past fifteen years I have
personally attended 1,800 babies, either
weakly or immaturely born, and this is
the second case of the kind I have
met."

AITKIN PEOPLE NOT AGAINST
RESERVOIR SYSTEM.
Say Opposition Comes from Private In
terests, While People Along the
River Appreciate the Value of the
ReservoirsWant Another Dam and
a Cutoff Canal to Shorten Channel.
As sentiment on the upper Missis
sippi is heard from, it becomes evident
that the opposition to the government
reservoir system is confined to certain
private interests. The Aitkin Age, in
an editorial this week, declares that
the people of Aitkin county do not
want the dams taken out, but that
they want more dams, and a cutoff
canal to liberate the surplus water ot
the upper river more quickly. The Ait
kin paper says:
Newspaper articles from Washington
and the twin cities indicate that the war
department and the navigation, logging
and water power interests are expecting
and preparing to resist an attack upon
the reservoir system from a united, peo
ple of the upper river.
They expect a demand will be made to
have the system abandoned and much
of the valuable work destroyed outright,
including the Brainerd dam.
As far as the people of Aitkin county
are concerned, no such demands will be
made.
Certain newspapers of the state are ad
vocating these things for the benefit of
private interests, from ignorance of the
real facts, an% from jumping at conclu
sions from wild talk of windy individuals
who like to be interviewed and quoted by
the press.

for the purpose of carrying away the sur
plus water and preventing a flood of the
big bend country in time of high water
and for the further purpose of getting
water from the uper reservoirs to the
lower river a couple of days quicker than
by the present winding course.
The meeting was wide open and no one
advocated the abandoning of the system.
But another dam is being advocated here
for-the mouth of Prairie river for the pur
poses of creating another reservoir In the
lakes above and for controlling the dis
charge of this stream, which at times is
so great that it counteracts the flow of
the Mississippi into which It empties and
backs up the current for a considerable
distance.
These are facts and should be known,
to correct the mistaken idea that Aitkin
county is "agin' the government," the
manufacturing interests and the cause of
navigation
In fact the reservoir system is all that
has made it possible to maintain reliable
navigation service between this place and
Grand Rapids all summer.
But what Aitkin does ask in connection
with the proposed canal is that the system
be managed so that needless damage to
crops be avoided and a stop be put to
"the farmers be damned" policy of con
trolling the water just so the corporations
are satisfied.
And that's a fair demand.
DISPOSITION IS trNDECIDED.
ALL WE ASK
The St Pail end of the twin city world's
fair commission has not decided what to do with
the St Paul exhibit. It Is stiU In Chicago
and will be allowed to remain there until some
definite action has been taken. The suggestion
that It be turned over to the library board and
given space in the library for exhibition pur
poses meets with general approval.
