Upon the death OF his father in
1886, he was elected president OF the

MR.. SCOTT FOR SENATOR.

1t is apparent to those who have
given the situation any study, that
the nomination of Walter A. Scott, OF
Merrill, for STATE Senator from this
distrit by the republicans. means a
sweeping victory for the republican
legislative ticket.
He is Il young man OF energy and
ability--a pusIler-and such IL man as
is required to look after the interests
Of the largest senatorial district in the
state.
He is popular at homeand has been
president OF large lumber concern
for several years past, and is especial
~ popular with the labOTing men,
with whom he has always been eli
rectly associated, and no one better
appreciu tes their interests than he
does.
He has resided in this district for
many years, and is a native OF the
state, and has always been an ener
getic Repubicail-never fincl.ing in
doing his duty. The republicans Of
this district could not have named a
candidate that would command the
strength that Mr.. Scott will. The
Daily Press is proudof his nomination
and,no candidate can be more heart
ily endorsed and en- Enthusiastically sup
ported than Mir Scott. He Will re-
ceiye the united, concerted support Of
Ashland county republicans and be
given a rousing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mr.. Have you finished
your house yet?"
Mr.. Ward-"I haven't begun to
build"
Mr.. P.-'sWhy not%'
Mr.. W.-"Well, it's just this way:
When | made known my intention to
build a house, my friends began to give
me advise about the plan of it. One ad-
vised me to build in this style, another
in that; one suggested pitch roof, an
other French roof One suggested
bay-windows, another condemned bay
windows. One approved of verandas
another disapproved Of them. One or
two of my friends even went SO far as to
employ their time in making designs for
my guidance. Among them they nearly
drove me to distraction. Now, as | am
going to run for the Legislature this fall
can't afford to offend any of them,
which | would do if i accepted the adj
vice of one and rejected that of the
other. If [ acted upon all their sug-
gestions ard made a sort of composite
house, the authorities would certainly
have me arrested as 1unatic; so I have
concluded not to build at all. And let
me give you this advice: when you in
tend to build house, don't let anybody
know anything about it. Just 60 into
the woods and hide yourself until the
house is finished, and you won't be
driven crazy or run the risk at losing
your best friends"

Bismarck as an Organ Grinder.
From the st. James Gazette.

From the st. James Gazette.
Prince Bismarck was one day passing
through the Royal Palace at Berlin,
when he entered a room in which the
young princes were merrily romping
and dancing to the music of barrel or
gan. The youngsters insisted that
Prince Bismarck should stay and dance
with them. II am too DID," said the
stiff and stately septuagenarian, land
really cannot dance, but if the Crown
Prince will dance | will grind the or
gan" The bargain was at once struck.
The Crown Prince joined his two broth
ers, and Prince Bismarck ground away
merrily at the organ, while the children
danced on in high glee. In the midst of
their mirth the door opened and the
young Kaiser entered. He smiled to
see the redoubtable Reichskanzler
grinding the barrel organ, and, after a
word of greeting to his sons, he observed
in mock displeasure to Prince Bismarck,
"You begin in good time to make the
heir apparent dance to your piping.
Why, this is the fourth generation of
Hohenzollerns to whom you devote
yoursplft''

How to Climb High Places.
From the New York Star.

from the New 1Ork star.
1t is the duty of one of the employees
of the Brooklyn Bridge to regularly
climb to the top of the towers in order
to examine the cable and see that every
thing is in good working order. [ saw a
large crowd yesterday anxiously watch
ing his operations. The ladder is built
into the masonry, and to any one not
used to such work the task seems a
perilous one. When the climber came
down | asked him if his head did not
get dizzy after reaching the top, but he
only smiled at my ignorance and re-
marked in an of-hand way that it was
both simple and easy "The most ner-
vous man in the world" he said, "can
climb to any height, provided he oh
serves one principle; that is, never to
look down. If he does he is in danger.
The first time / climbed that ladder |
found no difficult whatever in getting
up. Coming down, however, it was diff
ferent. | happened to look below just
when | was about half way down, and
became so nervous that / remained on
the same rung for several seconds. My
strength seemed to have deserted me,
and it was with great difficulty that /
restrained myself from letting go and
being dashed to pieces

Wherever Malaria Exists,

The bilious are its certain prey. In intermittent
and remittent fever, dumb ague and ague cake
the liver is always seriously affected, and the
Hood contaminated with bile One of the CHIEF
reasons why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such
a sure defense against chills and fever and every
form of malarial disease. is that it does away
with liability to the disease, by reforming ir-
regularity of the hillary organ in advance of the
arrival of the season when the disease Is preys-
lent. There is no finer fortifying preparative
cality where the miasma-tain exists. There is
no certain immunity from disease in an endemic
or epidemic form. to be secured by the use OF
the average tonics and anti-spasmodicS. But
where quinine tails the Bitters succeeds both in
preventing and curing. Moreover, it removes
every vestige of dyspepsia, and overcomes con-
and bladder, and tranquilizes and strengthens
the nervous system.

The Way to Wealth.
From the Boston Traveller.

A New Hampshire boy, several years
before the war, found himself in Little
Rock, Ark, then one of the Indian
agencies. He began as clerk and then
became merchant on his own account.
Long before the war actually COM
menced he comprehended The political
situation, and in 1860, when he felt sure
his state, with other Southern states,
would secede, he proceeded to dispose
Of his large stock and invested the same
in cetton He further took the precau-
ton to secure affidavits to prove his
Northern birth and his Northern SYM
pathies. When the South was actually
invaded his Secesh friends in Little
Rock laughed at him, telling him that
the Yanks would confiscate his cotton.
He said nothing. When the Union in
vading forces reached Little Rock his cot
ton, amounting to several thousand
bales, was seized and sent North on
government account. After a little he
succeeded in getting through the rebel
lines and arrived in New York about
the time his cotton arrived. He at once
presented his papers to the government.
They released his cotton. He sold it on
the rise of the market, say at $3.50 per
pound. Its cost averaged him about 6
cents. The transportation to New York
cost him nothing. To-day he occupies
one of the most elegant mansions in
Concord, n. H., on the site of the an
cestral homestead, has but one child, and
has an annual income of several thou
sands
