The True Republican, published by
George D. Cline, at Hudson, the home
of Mr.. Spooner, tells as follows why
the Republicans have nominated the
ex-senator for governor:
When Napoleon saw his army de-
moraliZed at Waterloo, as a last resort
and his only hope, ne ordered out the
tried veterans he had held in reserve
for desperate conflict. This was the
only maneuver that might save France.
1t was with feeling of the same des-
pair that led the Republican party Of
the State of Wisconsin to beg, almost
on its knees, thas Mr.. Spooner take
their standard and save them from de-
feat. Mr.. Spooner did not want the
office; he preferred the Senate, but
with feeling that ne, if any one,
could save them, they put him into
the field"

There died recently at Lowestoft,
England, one who Is spoken OF by
the local press as "a very popular
member OF the staff OF the Great
Eastern Railway" He was black
and tan collie dog, and he was not
appointed to the position" which he
held by the officers OF the company.
Although self-appointed, time and
habit brought about his recognition
as assistant train-starter at the
Lowestoft Station. Through resi-
dence at the station he had acquired
an instinct which told him the exact
time at which each train should
start from the terminus on its jour.
ney.
As the moment drew near, the col
lie became restless and excited. AS
the bell uttered its first warning
sound, he would scamper down the
platform, and, planting himself close
to the engine, bark furiously until
he saw the wheels begin to move.
Having accomplished the starting
OF the train as he supposed, he would
rush to the guards or conductors
van, and hurry the conductor TO his
post.
As the train passed out OF the sta
tiOn he retired, and was seen no more
until the time was near for another
train to start.
