Chairman A. D. Stewart stood the
ordeal of his difficult position last
week SO well as to win commentator
from the newspapers of all shades OF
politics.
A meeting of the officers and execu-
tive committee of the Republican

ening, at the Reveille Office. All ara
expected to be present. By order Of

Quite large delegation of ladies
went from this place to attend the con-
ton at Wood Lake, Oh Tuesday.
Among them we're Mrs. E. Mcmillan,
Mrs. VIM. Tiffany, Mrs. Thos. March,
Mrs. j. P. Jones, Mrs. w. B. King,

Owing to the appointment of the
county caucuses for last Saturday ev-
ening, on the same date as the annual
school meetings throughout the coun-
ty. all unfortunate conflict of duties
was imposed on quite a number of
Republicans, where their school house
was remote from the town polling
place. Some of the caucuses suffered
in consequence, so far as attendance
was concerned.
The city caucus to elect delegates
to the county convention was held
Saturday evening, Mr.. w. F. Dickin-
son calling the meeting to order II.
n. Bell was chosen chairman and j.
A. Schmahl secretary. The polls were
kept open for one hour with f. w.
Philbrick and NJ. H. Jones as tellers.
There was but slight opposition to the
gentlemen whose names appear as del
egates in the proceedings of the coun
ty convention. There were III votes
cast.
Tho school meeting last Saturday
evening was fairly we'll attended, con-
sidering that there were no exciting
questions up for action. The mem
bers of the board of education whose
terms had expired, Messrs. G. w.
George and George Drake, were re-
elected, the only opposition arising
from an unsuccessful attempt of Mr..
Drake to have w. r. Caswell elected
in his place. The patrons of tho school
seem to think the present board has
done we'll enough.
An explanation of the strange phe

day evening of last week, is given by
the Hutchinson Leader. 1t says that
at the time the moving streak of light
crossed the sky a regular shower of
little winged insects came f1uttering to
the ground. 1t is supposed by some
that they had phosphorescent wings
and flying oyer in great clouds caused
the light in the sky. A Hutchinson
man sent small box of the insects to
the state entomologist.
A thrifty Delhi farmer suggests that
the Gazette call attention to the in
creasing spread of wild oats in wheat
fields in this county. The pest only
began to manifest itself in this vicinity
year or two ago, and our informant
says that this week and next the wild
oats can easily be removed, as they
now loom up above the wheat and
oats several inches. A day or two
spent in going through fields contain
ing these weeds may save the farmer
great deal of future loss and annoy
ance.
The announcement of the Repub-
iican League meeting at Huntington
hall last Tuesday evening drew large
attendance, Notwithstanding the un-
usual and intense heat. All appeared
to be we'll pleased with Prof. Tipton's
lecture on Harrison, and the opinion
was freely expressed sfterward, that
such lecture is better calculated tc
advance the Republican cause at this
time than the usual talk of politica'
orators. The professor was able te
give his biographical outline of Presi
dent Harrison's career a strong loca
flavor, by reason of his personal ia
