Retnrn;no Their Money,

Some time ago the SENTINEL called
attention to the fact that in many cases
entry or fling fees were being withheld
illegally from the original applicants
for homestead and pre-emption entry
on the forfeited railroad lands in this
district by the former receiver OF the
Marquette land Office, and we are
pleased to note that the present admin
istration has taken steps to have these
fees restored to their respective
owners.
Tho facts in the case are about rs
follows: When the indemnity limits OF
the NJ, II. & o. grant were opened to
settlement and entry the land Office at
Marquette received all applications Of
fered with the fees rendered, irrespective
of their merits or priority, and held
such applications and fees in abeyance
until the question Of the railroad COM
nanv,s rights were finally decided. In
practice this action amounted to q
virtual rejection of these several apph'
cations, and they were so treated py
the general land office, but the fees were
not returned as required by the rules in
, the case of rejected applications.
M. H. Maynard, who was then the
receiver of the land Office. was after
! wards displaced by the present incum
.. bent, Thos, D. Meads, but for reasons
hast known to himself Mr.. Maynard
= did not turn ever these moneys to III

Legislature.
Today's Democratic Senatorial Conven
tian--A Henry County Man the
Choice.

The Twenty-first district democratic
legislative convention met at the court
house st $50 o'clock this afternoon and
was called to order By L. c. Banding,
chairman of the senatorial committee
who after announcing the object of the
convention said it was not necessary to
read the call. and thereupon Mr.. Bland>
ing was chosen as temporary chairman.
and G b. Marshall temporary secretary.
On motion II was decided that the chair
should appoint committee of six
three from each county-on credentials,
the following gentlemen being named as
such committee: s. L. Swisher. n. l.
Wheelsn and Max Kohu, Rock Island
county, and Levi Waterman, j. McKeon
and E. D. Mayhem of Henry.
After hearing the report of the COM
mittee on credentials it was on motion
adopted, and on motion of Charles Ladd
of kewsnee the temporary organization
was made permanent. The secretary
then read the Ca L. after which the nam
ing of q candidate for the legislature was
in order. William McEniry then made
q brief speech. in which he favored the
uomins ting of two candidates for the
legislature instead of one minority can
didste as formerly, giving several good
reasons why such q move would be sd-
vantageous to the success of the demo>
cratic party in this district. Charles
Lsdd of Kewsnee then spoke briefly
against the nominating of two candi-
dates for various obvious reasons which
he cited. Hon E w. Hurst fol-
lowed Mr.. Ladd in a short speech
in which he favored the nominating of
two candidates. for the reason that such
was thought to be the proper course by
the democratic state central committee,
as we'll as for various other reasons of
which he spoke. A motion was then
made that the convention proceed to
but one candidate for the legis-
iature and on roll call of the delegates
the motion was carried by a vote OF IS to
IL. after which, nominations being in
order. the name of George W. Vinton
was called for. William McEniry then
withdrew Mr.. Vinton's name and In a
ringing speech presented the name of
Joseph Mulligsn of Kewsnee, which was
very ably seconded by Charles Ladd of
the same place. and on motion of Hon.
E w. Hurst. Mr. Mulligan's nomination
was made by reclamation.

One of the queerest incidents that
ever befell Catholic priest in the per-
Torrance of his duties occurred at the
old cathedral recently and was wit
messed by large crowd who were
viewing the decorations. The bap-
tismal ceremony was being performed
at the font and the recipients of the
sacrament were pair of lusty-lunged
twins One of the youngsters had
come into the world weakly and was
baptized instantly by an attendant
The priest got wind Of the matter and
when the time came for performing
the ceremony asked the god-mother
which was the regenerated babe.
CONSERVATION reigned supreme. The
twins had got hopelessly mixed, as
usual, and the similarity Disappearance
rendered identification impossible.
The nurse was called in and eyed the
babies for birthmarks but gave it up
in despair. The priest ended the di-
lemma by giving both the youngsters
conditional baptism and the family
went home satisfied. st Louis POST

LIBERTY POLES.
An Emblem Testifying the Patriots Love

An Emblem Testifying the Patriots Love
of Freedom.
A dramatic feature of our early his
tory was the liberty pole so dear to
American boys and boyish men a CEN
fury ago, although many of their de-
scendants have never heard of it.
Liberty poles were, for the most
part, erected after the revolutionary
war was SO long an acknowledged fact
that the rebels could take time and
breath to give it some picturesque ex-
pressions. After the republic was es-
tablished we hear little more of them
until the war of 1912 reused the antag.
onismof the people, and up went the
long shafts again, each a protest
against British aggression.
During the WHISKY instruction in
the last decade of the eighteenth CEN
fury, when seven counties of Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia arrayed themselves
in defiance of the national government,
liberty poles shot up during the night
in the rebellious towns and villages,
painted bright red, as signals of war.
Liberty poles were erected during
presidential campaigns in the first part
of the century by both wings and dem
ocrats.
They were usually made of white
pines, dashed together until they
reached great height. The more
fervid the zeal of the party the higher
rose the pole. Sailors were often
brought out from the seaboard to in
land towns to assist in the erection,
and to rig flags to the amazement and
delight of the boys who knew nothing
of ships or seamen.
Mass meetings were held under these
poles, which were often regarded with
superstitious affection. The blowing
down of pole by high wind duving
a campaign chilled the hopes OF one
party, and cheered the others.
These singular emblems of protest
against oppression have wholly disap.
peared of late years throughout the
country, except in some remote dis.
tricts where old customs still are cher.
ished by rural communities. -Youth's
Companion.

some distance is thickly perforated
with the roundish holes leading into
their nests.
Not far from this bank quantity Of

to discover what had happened, and
swooped down and began to devour the
windfall.

and with angry twitters fell upon the
intruders.
The attack was q complete surprise
to the big black fellows, and as If real
izing the futility Of trying to cope
with their smaller assailants, they rose
from the ground in body and took

The swallows pursued them, dart

were routed completely. and took ref

swallows turned about and sailed
homeward, uttering many chirps and
twitters of satisfaction as they flew.
