BETTING on election is no argu-
ment for either cause, but when per-
sons given to speculation of that
character are offering freely to wag-
er that Upham will be elected, and
takers are not readily found, it is le-
ultimately accepted as evidence that
the tide is flowing toward republi-
can success.

A BACHELOR on being asked his
opinion as to matrimony says: Man
that is married to woman is of many
days and is full of trouble. In the
morning he draws his salary, and in
the evening, behold it is all gone. 1t
goeth, but he knows not where. He
spendeth shekels in the purchase OF
fine linen to cover the bosom of his
family, vet he is seen at the gates of
the city with but one suspender. He
goeth forth as an OK or an ass and
draweth the chariot of his offspring.
He rises, clad in the chilly garments
OF the night, and seeketh the somnam-
bulent paregoric which healeth the
colicky stomach Of his offspring. Yes,
he is altogether wretched and full Of
misery. Wide is the road and broad
is the way that leadeth to the gate Of
matrimony, and many there be that
goeth III thereat.N
AN anonymous screed, signed
s'Teacher,n dated "Iowa county, Wis,
Oct. 24th,r and postmarked "Storm
Lake, Ia, Oct. % is rejected in az
cordance with our rule to publish
no communication unaccompanied
by the authors name. This writer,
who would wound from ambush,
seeks to injure Miss Underwood, the
republican candidate for county
school superintendent, by representa-
tions that she lacks qualification for
the office. We can not believe that
anyone worthy place in that noble
calling Of teaching would be guilty
Of seeking in this covert unmanly
way to injure respectable lady. L
more likely comes from some disap-
pointed politician, or. some unscru-
pnlous partisan who seeks to .ad-
vance Miss Underwoods opponent
