LOYALTY REPUBLICAN
MICHIGAN is ALL RIGHT.
The State Ticket Elected by from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Charles Fl. WiSner Chosen as
Judge by $500 Majority
Hudson Sheldon Elected Comr ktns
by $50

The republicans of Michigan b reason
to rejoice over the outcome of tLe spring
election. From all sections Of the state
come glowing accounts of republican gains.
Many cities have been redeemed from DEM
Ocratic rule, republican school commission
ers and circuit judges succeed democrats in
many counties and district.
The endorsement of Judge Hooker is en-
phatlc. His plurality over Judge Durand
will not be less than $4,000. His election
ensures to the state the services for the next
ten years of one of the best men who has
ever occupied judicial position in Michi-
gan. The candidates for regents are both
elected by majorities slightly larger than
Mr.. Hooker's.
The magnificent vote given Charles II.
Wisner for circuit judge is source of salts
faction to republicans. Particularly is this
so in Shiawassee county Always true and
loyal to the party and its candidates, the
republicans laid aside all feelings of disap-
pointment over the failure of their candidate
to receive the nomination and rallied to the
support of Mr.. Whisper, giving him large
vote, especially so ss his opponent lived in
this county. The people will never have
occasion to regret the election of Mr.. Wis
ner.
The work of Hudson Sheldon as school
commissioner is endorsed by flatteripg
vote. Considering the disappointment of
those who have failed to receive teachers
certificates and the work of their friends,
Mr.. Sheldon received as large majority as
he could reasonably expect.
In many Gties such as Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Bay City, Saginaw, Lansing, Bat
tie Creek, the republicans have made large
gains. Wayne county, the former strong
hold of democracy gives Hooker 1900 plu-
rality and elects three of the four republic
can nominees for judges.

lacerated by the wadding of a cart
ridge aud died in Good Samara-
tan Hospital on Sunday.
During the progress of the bat.
tel, the engineer corps with a Cat
ling gun, had taken up position
in a clump of timber and were
supposed to be pouring hot shot
into the line of the enemy. Then
Company A was ordered to take
the gun and had twice charged the
position, but had been repelled.
AS they advanced for the final
grand charge Lieutenant Nelson
was urging on the platoon he was
commanding. He reached the gun
in advance of his command, and,
springing upon the stock of the
caisson, crossed swords with the
lieutenant in command. Several
of the gunners grappled with him,
but suddenly he staggered back
ward with the remark; "For
Gods sake, boys don't pull me
around so-Pm shot to peices al
ready" He then fell upon his
back and was carried from the
field.

Didn't Want Him Arrested.

Last week an individual hailing
from the Walla Walla valley, and
bearing the name of R. F. Smith,
came into town and proceeded to
get gloriously loaded at once. 1t
didn't take long for Athena's "bug
juice" to fix him a plenty. He
kept on his spree for couple of
days, and his wife stopped at the
Athena House, and endeavored to
induce her leige lord to brace up
and go to Pendleton, where she
had procured work for both in a
harvest field.
He drank as long as his money
held out and Friday evening went
up to the Athena House and de-
manded money from his wife which
she refused to give him, trying to
persuade him to go to Pendleton
with her.
He became enraged at her and.
Immediately proceeded to do her
up in real Sullivan style. He
knocked her down and brutally
beat her, and her cries brought
out all the women and children
in the neighborhood. Finally
some one went'fo for Marshal STAN
per who was at home eating sup
per and on his arrival he promptly
started with Mr.. Smith for the
cooler.
Smiths wife interfered and
clung to him begging and cry
ing for the marshal to release
her husband who promised to go
to the train and leave with her.
Stamper came to the conclusion
that it was the best way to get
rid of them so he escorted them to
the depot. In the melee the mar
shall lost his watch and has not
found it yet.

A New Trick.

L. o. Train men on last nights
west-bound passenger report new
kiud of dodge resorted to by the
ever-watchful hobo to steal a ride.
About three miles east of North
Powder the engineer sighted a man
on the track. The locomotive
shrieked a warning, but the man
gave no heed and the train had to
be stopped to prevent his anatomy
from being strewn along the track.
This was the result that the way
farer, whose immaculate gall amaz-
ed even the train men, anticipated.
When the train started again he
slyly boarded the blind baggage.
But his movements had been
watched. and he was dislodged and
driven into the country.

head, and twelve inches of the
body are altogether said to be alb

when in life it must have been a
formidable looking creature. The
snake is remarkable only for its
length.a curious fact being that
its tail is ornamented by only ten
rattles.

Suicide at Meacham.

A young man named Carter EN-.
ployed in a Meacham saw mill,
committed suicide Friday night by
hanging.
1t appears that he and three
other men were sleeping compan,,
ions in a house near the mil. Fri.
day night between 10 and II
o'clock, he arose, remarked that he
was not feeling we'll, and went out
side. The Others, were soon again
wrapped in slumber.
At dawn the next morning one
of the men looked out and saw
Carter, as he supposed, standing in
the mill. The form remained per-
fectly motionless, however, and an
investigation disclosed the fact that
the Respondent woodman had
swung himself into eternity at the
end Of a quarter-inch rope.
He tied the rope to "a beam above,
placed an ordinary moose around
his neck, and then stepped off a
timber. His body hung with his
toes nearly touching the ground
and it was evident that Carter ner-
vily allowed himself to be choked
to death, since he could have taken
hold Of the rope above his head and
prevented strangulation.
The suicide entered into no
lengthy story to tell the startled
world the sad reasons for his rash
act. He left behind merely plain,
square envelope, on which was
written his name, /. L. P. Carter,
and the following terse and laconic
explanation:
Il am tired of living"

A THEATRICAL TREAT.

In these days of hopelessly vulgar and
demoraliZing farce comedies that are
mere sickly limitations of the work of the
gifted Hoyt, a pure, old-fashioned and
clever comedy-drama is absolutely re-
freshing. Denver is now being treated to
just such play in Friends" at the New
Broadway Theater.
Without being prudish or in the least
goody-goody Friends" has moral pur-
pose and wholesome, human one at
that. 1t appeals to the better part of every
mans nature without expecting him to
be Miss Nancy or tiresome moralizer.
1t illustrates in vigorous and manly ac-
ton that life would scarcely be worth the
living if robbed of all, or nearly all, the
sentiment in it.
There is enough genuine wit in
''Friends" to make its comedy passages
stand out in bold relief and to establish
its just claim to being a brilliant intel
lectual production. While there is no
clap-trap in the play, written with the
idea of appealing to the prejudices of any
special part of the house, it is in every
sense a popular play, in that it displays
the everyday life of healthy and honest
human beings.
Friends has been characterized as ga
mans play" and that is what it distinct
~ is. But every true woman must enjoy
the crisp, bright and natural portrayal of
the nobler qualities which the men she
meets possess to greater or less extent.

VIII cure You, is true statement of the
action of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure

AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can

This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made
