The McCormick Vertical Lift Mower This is a.machine we strongly recommend. The bar is raised vertically from the seat,

strong spring assisting. All the desirable features of the New 4 mower are in the Vertical Lift. The draft rod lifts the bar, making it float lightly over an uneven surface; the wide bearing shoe hinge, are all valuable features. Everything has been done to make it a practi­cal mower.

A Soldier who is Not Favorably Im­pressed.

Leo C. Fischbach, formerly of this city, now with Co. L, 45th U. S. Vol. Inf., in the Philippines, has wiittea to a friend in this city, under date of Libmanan, Dee. 16th, 1900, a letter irom which extracts as follows are taken: * * ^ ' 8 a T e « y P o o r c o u n t r y a n d i s Dot fit for a whit© man. It is raining bore all the time and the soldiers are having a hard time ot it. A large ma­jority of the men are sick and discour­aged and want to get back to the States as soon as they can. We are getting very poor stuff to eat (such as today salt pork, boiled rice, canned corn and coffee for dinner) and men can't stand it hiking all the time looking for insurgents and standing guard three times in one week. The mosquito* eat a fellow up. I think the 4i>th Vol. will be back to the States by April, and maybe 1 won't be happy when we do get back. I am not iu the band now. I got transferred to Co. L, because I could not stand the bandmaster. He is an Englishman and bossy. ^ one of the men want to stay with him. Six of us were transferred from the band to the company. All we see in this country is ' niggers" (as the soldiers call ttuL native?) cocoanut and banana trees and bamboo houses. The people around here eat rice and flsb. bananas and cocoanuts, and don't care for anything else. The fruit here is not fit to eat, as it has fever in it, and it is tbe cause of most of the men getting the disease.

We had a little fight the other day. There were twenty of us and fifty "nig­gers." We lost one man and had to re­treat, or we would have all been killed. i.he other day we hiked over to a place called Uabosow and captured about fif­ty ''niggers" and killed ten, and burned lots of houses. I wish you could have seen this place w here we first had a fight. Ia one rice paddy there were six­ty dead and back of one of the outposts there were fifteen, and on a large open field there were about 175. all killed in about two hours and ouly one of our bo.vs wounded. They will be fighting here for ten years to come. * * *

The "Influence" of Mr, french. LITTLE FALLS, MINN.

„ Mar. 9, 1901. EDITOR HERALD; Fiiends of Rev.

J. T. B. Smith have been caused some anxiety by the clipping from the HibDing News published in your last issue. Being somewhat familiar with the situation, a few words from me might throw a little light on the

^natter. ps . Mr^Saait?^ Jia8 nothing to fear irom Mr. French, who claims to re­present the aggressive saloon ele­ment at Hibbing. Whatever in­fluence that gentleman may possess will not be exerted in a quarter to affect Mr. Smith or his work. Neither will the bishop and the presiding elder, with whom the appointing power in Methodism is vested. ta*e Mr. French or his associates in con­sultation in appointing Mr. Smith, or any other preacher, to that or any other field.

As for myself, I was blissfully ig­norant of any influence that Mr. French exerted upon me or my work and plans. I had supposed that whatever influence he had wielded was on a different class 1 han those with whom I had most to do. I fondly thought that Mr. French was as friendly to me as any man who represents the men he claims to represent is likely to be to a Methodist preacher. It is out of bis province to dictate ministerial appointments and I had not known that he had anything to do with mine.

Yours truly, A. L. RICHARDSON.

Thomas didn t enter the race in the second ward. Wise boy.

The City Election. Although the number of unop­

posed candidates in this spring's city election is greater than it has been f r>r many years, the last week has bought out more interest than at first expected. The issues, such as they are, are determined by the per­sonality of tbe candidates.

For mayor Geo. F. Moeglein and N. Richardson are in the field. Mr, Moeglein is one of the oldest business men in the city, a large taxpayer, a safe, conservative man. For Eleven 3ears_a member of the council, not once in all that time has anjgmi questioned his integrity or bone£l£ Having once given his word to people, he has unflinchingly caroe4« out his pledges, and while otti^rS? turned away or changed, he kCpl*' bis promises. We believe his election^ will mean a safe and prudent admKf[o istration. On the question of gaafcS. bling, always vital. Mr. Moeglein wilfe be found to agree with those who^ hold gambling as among the great­est of evils, one that should be eli­minated to every possible extent.

As far as Mr. Moeelein's oppo­nent is concerned, everyone who votes for him knows exactly what to expect.

Mr. MoegMn's ambition to be mayor, after eleven years ot faithful service in the council, is a laudable one, and deserving of approval.

For treasurer an interesting race is on, with S. P. Casey, formerly treasurer. L. Signor, who has held various offices, and the present treas­urer, A. Simonet, as contestants. The city's cash is sure to be safe, whoever pulls through. The pres­ent treasurer appears pretty con­fident ; ditto the others.

City Clerk Cary and Assessor Mc-,Don§l<J;^ave «^ oppoeitien. _ „ .

Just ices CrSlitfdoh apd E. W. Col­lins. and Attorney Grethen are can­didates for justice of peace. Two justices are to be elected, and Mr. Sheldon's election is generally coa-ceded, leaving the battle to Co'Mns and Grethen. Mr. Grethen has tbe advantage of being a lawyer and old soldier, and Mr. Collins that of being an old resident with a wide acquaintance.

Geo. Kiewel has no opposition for alderman at large. No man was rash enough to want to tackle the job. We believe Mr. Kiewel'e record in the council will be creditable to him and agreeable to his constitu­ents.

In the first ward John Vertin has no opposition for the regular term as alderman. Mr. Ve«*tiu is among the prominent young business men of the city, and will bring industry and ^bility to his office.

An interesting contest hns dev<f 1 oped for the short term for alder­man in the first ward,between B.BOP-^ ton, one of the best known business men in the city, and Adam Trafas, for many years employed in F. K. Cawley's flour mill. Mr. Burton is a conservative and careful business man, and the city's interests would not suffer if committed to his hands. Mr. Trafas is a representative of the "across the track*' district, is an honest, hardworking man. posi­tive in opinion and in manner, and runs because he believes his part of the city has been neglected. H& would make a good alderman.

Alderman Martin, after six years' s rvice, will r.ot run this year, hav­ing apparently been scared out iVi. J. lirticke, who is thus assured two years in the council. His friends a^e confident that Mr. Bracke vvillre-pa.v the confidence shown iu hiai by the people of his ward. . In the Third ward Alderman Peter-sou is up for re-electiun, with P. in opposition.
