tics, was not III a pleasant frame of mind.
He Was, to use a common phrase,
ugly" The Captain had lost his Job
and no longer will that check for 500 a

Kean. Jr. He was a very much dissatis-
fed man, and the published statement
That he might some day become enlighL-

UNPOPULAR MR.. KEAN.
For some reason John Keau, Jr., is not
popular in this county. General Grubb

date was nominated.

represen native in the culinary depart
ment at Ellis Island Colonel Toffey
wanted to please President Harrison
through General Seweli and he exerted
himself for Kean. Charlie Laws caught
the infection and his industry In the cause
of Kean is worthy of special
ation. When Charlie went home last
night there was not another cheer left in
