ed over my past life. L have seen
the error of my ways and am de-
termined to reform, and only ask
the good citizens of Parkersburg to

think have become too degraded by
my past life to reform, but / have
a heart yet and soul that is worth

Very Respectfully,
JOHNNIE ATHY.

We take great pleasure in Civ
ing our readers the above letter, as
requested by the writer.
He is a young man who has
spent much time in Jail for petty
offenses, and with the resolution
evinced in his letter there is no
reason why he may not yet redeem
himself and become a useful and
worthy citizen.
His term of imprisonment will
expire next Saturday, and we trust
our citizens will take him by the
hand, give him employment and
help him on and up to a better
life.

1t is to late to repudiate Price in
the Eighth District because of his
temperance principles, for they were
as well known as the man before his
nomination. The nominating Conven-
ton at Eau Claire was fully advised
as to Mr.. Prices temperance and pol
itical record, and when it adopted him
it adopted his principles, past and pre-
sent also. If he Is not Republican
now he was not Republican before
the Republican Convention nominated
him. # he was a Republican on the
day of his nomination he is just as

Another of those terrible casualties
which it is impossible to foresee or pre-
vent, occurred in Georgian Bay last
week Thursday, when, during a severe
storm, the steamer Asia was struck by
a heavy sea, disabled and sunk, all
within the brief space of time covered
by thirty minutes. The passengers
and crew numbered about one hundred
souls, and Of these but two, d. G. Tin
ks and Miss Christie Ann Morrison,
were left to tell the sad tale. Mr..
Thinks tells the story as follows:
The steamer was crowded, all the state
rooms being full, and many passengery ly-
ing on sofas and the cabin floor. About | |
O'Clock "a M, Thursday, storm struck the
vessel, and my uncle, j. H. Thinks, jumped

and would not obey her helm. She rolled
heavily for about twenty minutes, when she

French River and had men, horses, and
lumbermans supplies for the shanties.

The Republicans in the Third
District are in muss about equal to
the Democrats of the second. Boss
Keyes and would-be-Boss Hazelton
went into the convention with twenty
followers each. But even as early in
the fight as the organization of the
convention, one Of the Reyes men de-
serted him and gave the organization
to Hazelton. OF course, with contest
ing delegates to hear from, this made
Hazelton's nomination a foregone con-
clusion. Of course Reyes was too
sharp to 90 into the fight with traitors
in his camp, and the upshot was two
conventions and two nominations.
Neither man cares a continental for
his country or his party, but both are
selfish, grasping, place seeking politi-
clans, and both ought to be defeated,
for these reasons.

Our great and glorious nation
with big Mas just found out that
it takes more than one party to make
a bargain, especially where values are
to be determined. The government
set price upon the lands damaged, or
to be damaged, by the building of the
dams at Leech and Winnebagoshish
lakes, and last Monday sent its agent,
Luse, to pay the money over to the
Indians who own the damaged proper
ty. And now the government seems
to be greatly surprised ON learning
that the said Indians Indignantly re-
fused to accept the pittance decided
upon by it. The Indians don't talk
war or anything Of that kind, but they
do talk business, equal to a Wall
Street sharper, and want full value for
their valuable lands.

votes, s more than he needed. Cor
