With this fact in view the republi.
cans a not be too cautious in Sc.
lecting a congressional nominee. To
allow the ticket to be headed by a
man whose popularity is below par
with public sentiment, as was done
two years ago, means certain defeat.

candidacy for assessor. Mr.. Laidlaw
is an "old timer in Sierra county
and by education, ability and tried
integrity is n of the most compe-
tent men in Sierra county for the
Office. He is well posted on county
affairs; a student 10 politics and an
earnest advocate Of A%mericanism.
His position on the silver question
has been ably maintained in the
press of the county and elsewhere,
and he is one Of those men who
make a special effort to find out
what is right and best for the peo-
people. His work as Sierra's repre-
sentative at Chicago during the
Worlds fair was a sample of his
capability. Sierra county, through his
untiring efforts and knowledge of
journalism, got more Advertising
without funds than any other min
ing exhibit at the Worlds fair. The
Worlds fair hoard of managers of
New Mexico cut off his salary about
two months after the exposition
opened, still he remained there do
ing duty both for the managers and
Sierra county on a mere p%lttance

md it would be a graceful recog-
milton Of his services to elect him

John Hookham Frere was scholar
and man of much literary ability, but
one of those whose work, for some rea-
son, finds a very slight hearing. But
even if his literary work should be quite
forgotten the stories of his absence of
mind will live as long as incongruous
error continues to amuse.
One day he sat repeating some verses to
Mr.. John Murray in Mr.. Murray's office,
and his host became SO interested in the
poem that he asked the poet to go home
with him to dinner and continue the
recitation. Mr.. Frere, startled to find it
SO late, excused himself. He had been
married that morning, he said, and it
was already past the hour when he had
promised his wife to be ready for their
journey into the country.
Another such story rests ON the au-
thority of his wife herself. Mr.. Frere
had just been introduced to her at an
evening party and offered to take her
down stairs to procure some refresh.

conversation. however, tha: he drank

him for having forgotten her needs.

He Claims That He Faces Dangers which

When the railroad men left the cable
car at the head of the Milwaukee ave-
nce viaduct, the gripman threw the
lever forward with an emphatic zip"
and said: Those locomotive engineers
think they are the only men with nerve
who ride on rails. Did you hear them
talking about how weak they felt after
their machine had just missed knocking
some clumsy farmer over the telegraph
wires and how they sweat a cold sweat
when the baby toddled in front of their
engine? Did you get onto their trick for a
layof because they have lost their nerve
through running fast and can't make
over 10 miles an hour until they get
their nerve back again: If those engi-
neers would take this run, they would
be wet through all the time and wouldn't t
have enough nerve left to sass q messen-
ger boy.
There are more kids to the acre up
Milwaukee arenue than anywhere else
in the city, and every last one of them
plays Ill between the street car tracks.
We have close shaves every block. Just
like that. Did You see that man then?
He had plenty of time to wait for the
three seconds il takes for us to pass, but
he couldn't wait, and we grazed him.
We don't run 60 miles an hour, but you
can kill man just as quick at l2 miles
an hour, and it shakes you up just as
much. There isn't a gripman in Chicago
but breads to make the down town loop
during the rush hours. Providence looks
after babies and drunken men, and be-
heve we have special Providence with
us. You people may think we have no
feelings, but have seen men run their
grip cars into the barn and then sit
down, weak as cat and white as a
sheet. Their nerves had given out, ana
that was all that was the matter with
them. Chicago Record.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-Considerable
excitement has been causei by the carry
ing away from his home, eight miles from
Grinnell, Ia. Of Arthur Gilbert. Last
winter hogs were stolen from several
farmers in that vicinity. For this offense
indictments have been returned against
the three Barton brothers, Darius Clark
and Arthur Gilbert. Gilbert has since
turned states evidence. A stranger Civ
ing his name as Schumacher, called on
Gilbert. He claimed he was a deputy
sheriff and read warrant on a charge Of
larceny. He then hurried Gilbert into a
closed carriage and started ostensibly for
Montezuma, the county seat. 1t is certain
TINT third person was in the buggy.
Suspicion was aroused and a messenger
was sent in the night to the county seat,
where it was learned that no warrant was
issued. Gilbert's friends believe he has
been kidnapped on account of his connec-
tion with the hog stealing case and some
even hint Mt foul play.
