HERE AND THERE.
"^ Live stock owners of Minnesota are
warned against the great danger from
the foot and mouth disease in a statement issued by Dr. S. H. Ward, secretary of the live stock sanitary
board. The disease may break out
anywhere in Minnesota, he says, because many dairymen and breeders
visited the Chicago stock yards during
the recent* National Dairy show and
may have carried virus of the infection back on their persons. The
disease, Dr. Ward says, can be contracted by human beings through milk
from infected cattle.

John Meining, who has been reelected sheriff of St. Louis county
over Frank Magie after a bitter battle,
is again under grand jury investigation and will be defendant in an action charging him with presenting a
' false claim to the county board. The
September grand jury spent several
days investigating the affairs of the
« sheriff's office and returned fourteen
indictments against the sheriff and
.f two of his deputies. Mr. Meining was
' tried on one count and acquitted a
few weeks ago.

Mayor Nye an Easy Winner.
Wallace G. Nye. the present Incumbent, defeated James D. Williams
in the Minneapolis mayoralty race by
6,000, overwhelming ihe "lid" candidal* in every ward iu the city except
tK* First.
With 488 precincts still to be heard
from Winfield Scott Hammond had
140,572 votes for governor, against
123,829 for William E. Lee.
The balance of the state ticket was
elected with the customary majorities
ranging from 35,000 to 80,000.
It is evident that Attorney General
Smith will lead the Republican ticket
and his majority may reach the 80,000
mark. Preus and Schmahl are closely
bunched for second place.
Judge George L. Bunn led Judge Albert Johnson of Red Wing in 1,844
precincts in the race for.the supreme
court 112,315 to 89,231.
Only two amendments of the eleven
submitted to the voters of the. state
have a good chance of passing on returns so far received. They are No.
1, the initiative and referendum, and
Xo. 9; for state forests.
County option seems to have gone
down to defeat with its chief exponent, William E. Lee.
A careful check of nearly complete
returns from all legislative districts
indicates that of the sixty-seven members of the state senate less than
half are pledged to county option. In
tho house the anti-option members
are said to have a good working majority.
Republican candidates won in eight
of the ten congressional districts.
The winners are:
First District — Sydney Anderson,
Lanesboro (R).
Second District--Franklin F. Ellsworth, Mankato (R).
Third District-—Charles R. Davis, St.
Peter (R).
Fourth District—C. C. Van Dyke, St.

A, H. Melloh, proprietor of a general store at Wrenshall, four miles
east of Carlton, and a special deputy
sheriff of Carlton county, surprised
two robbers at work In his store.
Melloh was awakened by the ringing of a buzzer which connects the
store with his home, and, accompanied by his clerk, Odin Dahl, surprised two men who were ransacking
tho store. Instead of obeying the order to surrender they drew revolvers
and opened (Ire.
Melloh and Dahl sought protection
behind the building and returned the
fire, hitting one man in the leg and
head. He went down and his companion fled.
A posse was formed and gave immediate pursuit after the man who
had escaped, but the trail was soon
lost in the brush, The wounded man
died on the way to the hospital at
Cloquet,

arose between the brothers, it is alleged,, resulting in young Protz being
struck over the head with a rifle. He

BEATEN BY YOUNG DEMOCRAT

wave which swept over Ramsey
county, Frederick C. Stevens, for the
past eighteen years representative of
the Fourth congressional district,
went down to defeat before Carl C.
Van Dyke, a comparatively unknown
young Democrat. Mr. Stevens' defeat
was most decisive, his opponent's plurality being more than ,",nno.
STATE RECEIVED 168 CARS I'M Ml
GRANT MOVABLES—WISCONSIN GOT 64 CARS
October was a banner month for
Minnesota in receiving immigrants in
point of competition with other states
according to figures given out by Fred
D. Sherman, commissioner of immi
gration. Out of 360 cars handled bj
the Minnesota Transfer Railway com
pany during the month of October
Minnesota received 168 or nearly hall
if the total amount. Her nearest com-
petitior was Wisconsin with 64, Mon
tana 21, North Dakota 20 and other
sompeting states considerably lower.
The states of Iowa and Illinois show
that together they received 53 cars.
These are largely, in my opinion, cart
returning from the Canadian north
west, for it is generally conceded that
there has been a larger return of immigrants from that country than usu
al and I am of the opinion that the bulk
?!' these are passing through from that
territory. While the month of October
s tlie best fall month for immigrants
this record is unusually good, consid-
3ring the present conditions. I
Ind that the European war has. affected land business in Minnesota to a
considerable extent and had the country's financial condition been normal,
1 believe that we would have made a
-nuch bettor showing this fall. The
mouths of March and April are the
nontlis we get our immigrants and if
■onditions settle down during tho winter, I predict a greater influx than even last year which was remarkable.
WHIPS CHILDREN—RESIGNS
Royalton Banner: As a result of
brutal whippings given to little Maude
and Lorna Dawley and Enid Log-.n by
Miss Helen Harris, teacher of the
Sixth grade of our public schools Monday forenoon, at a meeting of the
school board held that evening the
board instructed Principal Matheson
to ask for her resignation, and the resignation was handed in the fo1 lowing
morning. At least two of the children
were so cruelly whipped that the skin
was. broken on their backs so thai the
wounds bled. Miss Carrie Batzer is
.low teaching the grade and we understand that Miss Harris took her departure early this morning and she
may consider herself fortunate that
she got off so easily.

ASKS FOR AID FOR STARVING
BELGIANS
VILLAGE COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS.
St. Paul, Nov. 10: More than 7,000,-
000 Belgians are now refugees in England, France and Holland. They are
vithoui shelter or food. United States
Ambassador Page at London has called that thousands of Belgians will
starve before the American ships car-
■yiug food can reach them.
Thousands more will starve to
Seath this winter unless Americans
give the help that is so badly needed.
On account of the urgent need relief
funds everywhere have been started
and many men, women and children
will be saved by the prompt work.
Miss Clara Hill, daughter of James
J. Hill, is the head of the movement in
the northwest. Already Miss Hill has
raised $3,000 and she and her committee are working hard to secure immediate help.
The fund raised in the northwest
will be used only for the purchase of
food. Every dollar will be used and
nothing of any kind charged for organization according to Miss Hill. The
fund will be disposed of through the
American ambassadors in Europe.
Miss Hill Saturday issued the fol-
'owing appeal to the people of the
northwest:
As treasurer for the St. Paul Belgian relief fund, I appeal to your
readers for subscriptions for the
starving people of Belgium. Every dollar contributed represents an allowance of flour for one person for two
months shipped to the American commission for feeding non-combatants in

STATE RECEIVED 168 CARS I'M Ml GRANT MOVABLES—WISCONSIN GOT 64 CARS October was a banner month for Minnesota in receiving immigrants in point of competition with other states according to figures given out by Fred D. Sherman, commissioner of immi gration. Out of 360 cars handled bj the Minnesota Transfer Railway com pany during the month of October Minnesota received 168 or nearly hall if the total amount. Her nearest com- petitior was Wisconsin with 64, Mon tana 21, North Dakota 20 and other sompeting states considerably lower. The states of Iowa and Illinois show that together they received 53 cars. These are largely, in my opinion, cart returning from the Canadian north west, for it is generally conceded that there has been a larger return of immigrants from that country than usu al and I am of the opinion that the bulk ?!' these are passing through from that territory. While the month of October s tlie best fall month for immigrants this record is unusually good, consid- 3ring the present conditions. I Ind that the European war has. affected land business in Minnesota to a considerable extent and had the country's financial condition been normal, 1 believe that we would have made a -nuch bettor showing this fall. The mouths of March and April are the nontlis we get our immigrants and if ■onditions settle down during tho winter, I predict a greater influx than even last year which was remarkable. WHIPS CHILDREN—RESIGNS Royalton Banner: As a result of brutal whippings given to little Maude and Lorna Dawley and Enid Log-.n by Miss Helen Harris, teacher of the Sixth grade of our public schools Monday forenoon, at a meeting of the school board held that evening the board instructed Principal Matheson to ask for her resignation, and the resignation was handed in the fo1 lowing morning. At least two of the children were so cruelly whipped that the skin was. broken on their backs so thai the wounds bled. Miss Carrie Batzer is .low teaching the grade and we understand that Miss Harris took her departure early this morning and she may consider herself fortunate that she got off so easily.

KILL ISSUES APPEAL DAUGHTER OF JAMES J. HILL ASKS FOR AID FOR STARVING BELGIANS VILLAGE COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. St. Paul, Nov. 10: More than 7,000,- 000 Belgians are now refugees in England, France and Holland. They are vithoui shelter or food. United States Ambassador Page at London has called that thousands of Belgians will starve before the American ships car- ■yiug food can reach them. Thousands more will starve to Seath this winter unless Americans give the help that is so badly needed. On account of the urgent need relief funds everywhere have been started and many men, women and children will be saved by the prompt work. Miss Clara Hill, daughter of James J. Hill, is the head of the movement in the northwest. Already Miss Hill has raised $3,000 and she and her committee are working hard to secure immediate help. The fund raised in the northwest will be used only for the purchase of food. Every dollar will be used and nothing of any kind charged for organization according to Miss Hill. The fund will be disposed of through the American ambassadors in Europe. Miss Hill Saturday issued the fol- 'owing appeal to the people of the northwest: As treasurer for the St. Paul Belgian relief fund, I appeal to your readers for subscriptions for the starving people of Belgium. Every dollar contributed represents an allowance of flour for one person for two months shipped to the American commission for feeding non-combatants in The village council met in regular monthly session in the village hall, Saturday evening, November 7th.

He says there ain't a dad- burned thing in it worth while to read, an' that it doesn't print the kind o' stuff the people need. He throws it in a corner and says it's on the "bum"—but you'd oughter hear him holler when the weekly fails to come. He reads about the weddings and snorts like all get out, and he roads the social column with a most derisive shout; he'll read about the parties and he'll fuss and fret and groan, and say they print the papers for the women folks alone. He says, of information, if rl'ssa not contain a crumb—but you'd oughter hear him holler if the weekly fails to come. He's always first to grab it and he reads it through and through—he doesn't miss an item nor a want ad, Henry Smith and daughter, Martha, spent Tuesday night at \ old or new.

An' then when dad goes 'way and stays a day or two, I tell you he gets riled and says what awful things he'll do if tho paper failed to mention him as being out of town—well he almost has a notion to knock some printer down.
