A Republicans Opinion

Said prominent republican this morn
ing; at is amusing to see how intensely
partisan the Union becomes over school
elections where there are no political prin-
ciples or considerations at stake. When
the situation demands an aggressive and
spirited campaign such as our city and
county tickets require, however. the poor
old Union is as meek as a lamb, and
when it does make feeble attempt to
elect a certain candidate, that one is most
generally defested-for instance, Joshua
Hasselquist. If the democrats wanted to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded them by the contemplate attitude
of the Union. they would have no diff
Guilty in electing two members of the
board of education at the approaching
election. trust, however, they have
the interests of the public schools too
much at heart to make it a political is
sue. The best solution of the problem
for into such it seems to have resolved
itself-is to run representative republi-
can and democrat together"
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1890-06-13

THE files of the Union won't prove
what it asserts this morning relative to its
support of democratic candidates for the
school board in the past. It's opposition
to Mr.. j. W. WEIGH is of too recent date
to have it pslmed off as an endorsement
of bis candidacy. When the ARGUS pros
posed Messrs. ThOmss and Yore three
years ago also. the Union refused to sup
port MIR. Yore because, as its editor said,
"the democrats were trying to capture
the school board" 10 fact the Union has
never displayed its characteristic mulish-
ness more noticeably than at school cleo
tions. and as was naturally to he expect
ed, it has again got started on the wrong
tack. 1t will no doubt come around
all right again after the election
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1890-06-13

THAT is distressing plea the Union
makes for w. Fl. Gest's denomination
1t is enough to bring The hot tears Of re-
pentance to the cheek of any who have
been so unkind as to intimate that he had
enough congressional honors. If ii
wasn't known that the editor of the Tn
ion expects $500 Office from Bro.
Gest, that portion of the article referring
to his brilliant career as statesman,
might be considered in the light of sa-
tire. But then we think ourselves that
Gest has drawn his salary pretty regular
ly, and he is entitled to some credit for
that. And he was even patriotic enough
to vote the peoples money to reimburse
himself and his republican colleagues for
the money filched from them by Silcott,
the defaulter. Oh, yesl Gest should go
back to congress, by all means.

WILL LIVE 20 RUE HIS MERCY.
A Fond Old Mans Forgiveness of His
Eaithless Wife.


CORTLAND, n. Y, June Bone day
last week there came here by train from
Binghamton William c. Chanler, of Jack
son township, Pa, an old max with hair
and beard rs white as snow, but still quite
vigorous in mind and body He applied
to Deputy Sheriff F. J. Colgrove for help
in hunting his runaway wife. He was in
his 10th year. His wife was good many
years younger than he, and was a buXom
and good looking woman. She had run
away with one of his hired men, a young
fellow about 80 years Old named Charles
f. Lewis, and he had reason to believe
that the fugitives were living together
here.
The Woman stuck to Her Paramour.
The pair were located yesterday in rooms
here, where they had set up housekeeping.
Lewis was arrested and arraigned before
the police justice on charge of grand lar
ceny in carrying away the old mans
household effects. The woman stuck to
Lewis, and for a time scornfully refused
to have anything to say to her husband.
The old man was fond of his good looking
young wife, and was ready to forgive and
forget her escapade if she would only go

fused to listen to his pleadings until she
found that that was the only wsy she
could save Lewis from prison.
Loving But Mighty Foolish.
Then she relented. and made up with her
fond spouse. The terms she eXacted were
that the husband should dssd her one of
his farms, and also convey 10 her the big
stock of applejack on hand at his distil-
lery. Finally, that he should let up on his
faithless hired man. The doting husband
joyfully acceded to these conditions, and
set out for home with his recovered spouse
as blithe as bridegroom. No one ap-
peared to prosecute the hired man, whose
Establishments had caused such trouble in
his employers household, and the police
justice let him go.

Hill had suffered from an affection of fine
lungs, for the relief of which she inhaled
hot air, using patented apparatus. On
Monday, as usual, she lighted the alcohol

She had drawn but a few breaths when
she felt burning sensation In her throat
and chest. DIR. Rufus p. Lincoln was
summoned and found her suffering great
pain and vomiting necessarily.
The Thermometer Had Broken.
He administered remedies, but could do
little more than lessen the pain. Exami
nation of the hot-air apparatus showed
that the bulb of the Thermometer near the
mouthpiece had broken, and that he mer-
curry it contained had run into the appar-
atus. There it was vaporized and oa-ydized
and oxide of mercury WAS the powerful
poison which Mrs. Hill had inhaled.
