Good Guessing.

An exchange, speaking of the contest
in the Third Congressional district,
says:
Governor Jere Rusk is reported to
have expressed the opinion that Geo. G..
Hazleton will defeat L. w. Reyes for the
Republican nomination in the Third
Congressional District. As general
thing the people of tins state will have a
poor opinion of the intelligence of the
people of the Third District if the pre-
diction of the Governor does not come
true. Mr. Reyes is back number.
The last sentence comes nearer hitting
the nail on the head than anything yet
said. Ii is the fear that he may remain
back number that tempts the ex-boss
to make what he knows to be a losing
fight. However, our contemporary need
not fear any lack of intelligence on the
part of the Republicans of this district.
They have no desire to trade off an able
and efficient public servant for any new
man whether he is back or new num-

The Wrong Language.

On board our Il ain, says the Laramie
Boomerang, and occupying one section
Of the ogallalla, was the Oriental gentle
man with the self-cOcking name who
had been sent to Washington by the
Chinese Government on special business
connected with the affairs of state. He
wore long, brocaded, old gold gown.
with embroidered purple overskirt, cut
plain and tied together with silk cord
and unique buttons. He wore his hair
plain and braided down the back, and
his silk boots with cork soles, looking
like plug hat in gale of wind Every
body, of course, eyed him with curiosity
and sighed to have some fun with him.
One old lady with reddish whiskers un-
der her jaw, sidled up to him at last and
BEGAN to ladle out to him a lot of choice
pigeon English that attracted the atten-
ton of everybody i'll the car, and broke
up two we'll established games of whist.
"Chinaman John, You SabCe heap high
mountains, all same Bunker Hill Heap
snow, belly cold July, all same january
Mclean man no likee Too cold Make
'cm cmlblain all same Fleece nose off.
No good. You sabce me chin chimp"
"Yes," said he; IL understand YOU, !
! think, rs well rs any maniac | ever list
cncd to. hope YOU will have pleas
amt trip { 0 the asylum and that they will
be more patient with you than am. |
, am little irritable with lunatics, and
! am prone to lose my temper and throw
| them off the train, or jam them under
the woodboX, or knock them into the
aisle and walk over their remains. Do
not try to tell me about your misfortune
or explain how it came on YOU, for do
not feel any interest in it, and it only
. inilameS and enrageS me" Then he
took u cigarette and a fam and went in
to the smoking room. Pigeon English
is very pretty language, but every
little while you run into a mandarin
who don't know a word of it, If the
Chinese government don't educate its
ministers SO that they can grapple with
the style Of Chinese spoken in the best
families of Omaha, those ministers are
liable to have lonely time of it.

OF INTEREST TO
DAIRYMEN.

As we desire to encourage more
Profitable and systematic mode of dairy
ing than the old-fashioned one of max
ing dairy Butter, we invite the Farmers
of this section to examine carefully the
merits of our CREAM RAISING CAN
and our method of doing business. We
Guarantee our Can to get more Cream
out of the milk than any Can in use.
Any person desiring to try these Cans
will be allowed the use of any number
necessary to make the trial FREE OF
COST! When you can get as much
Money for your Cream-at your door
as you are getting for the Butter after
it is made and brought to town, and
when you add to this the fact that by
using our Can and system you get more
Cream than is possible any other way,
it needs but few words to convince the
thinking farmer that it pays to sell his
Cream.

the County were Democrats, he expect

Readers of the REPUBLICAN do you
know that the election for Mayor will
be on Saturday afternoon, opening be-
TWEEN II and u O'Clock and closing at Z
o'clock? If you do not We wish to in
form you there is, and THAT 1t is your
duty to vote. Do you know that there
are two candidates for the office OK
Mayor, and that one Of them unless the
vote should be q tie will be elected ?
OF course you know this. But we must
ask you another question. DO you
know ths. for that high and RESPONSE
bile office DR.. John P. Wales and Joseph
L. Carpenter are the candidates? of
course you know this unless you have
been living to NO purpose. But, another
uestion, which of them will you vote
for Is. your mind fully made up?
Here is gentleman who has superior
qualifications for the Office, but who
has never held civil office yet, because
he was never All Office seeker. For
many years he has been pursuing his
high calling, that of q physician, but
never entering the turmoil of politics
until call was made upon him to be-
come candidate for Mayor, and which
call he accepted. The nomination sought
him, not he the nomination. That man
is DR.. John P. Wales. Can you not
trust him? Can you not vote for him?
Here is another gentleman, candi'
date for the same office. His personal
character 60 far as we know is good.
His qualifications for the office are am
pie. If elected he might make good
Mayor, and he might not. From his
youth up he has been a politician and
for several years . holder Of an Office.
That office is one Of the most important
In the county, for on the manner of
conducting it depends citizenship. The
manner in which he performed the
duties of his office resulted in the dis
reimbursement of thousands of tax
payers. That candidate is Joseph L..

when the Inspectors call upon them
to clear the polls and keep order. The
difficulty is that Democratic inspec-
