There was u larger variety than usual

ED. J0URNAL-I notice my name
appears in the letter OF "One OF the
Worthless in the Tribune, as one OF
those attending the \. p. 4. meeting.
Ny hobbling gait which excited the
merriment Of that very respectable
crowd Of high toned "upper tens"'
proceeds from the loss OF leg in the
late unpleaSantness, and funny as 1t
may look, this IS the first time it has
ever been made the subject OF de-
rision. But being @ saloon keeper
possibly l escaped the notice before
OF the upper tens" and the people
not up in the manners Of good society
didn't know what great sport could
be made OF the hobbling OF an old
soldier. Bankers Riley, Senator
Kneeland, Treasurer O'Neill, Sheriff
Duckworth, and the gentleman who
| doesn't want his name published now,
are such authorities, however, in mat
ters OF honor and good manners, that
! the sport will become at once all the
! 60 with the common people and we
may expect to have great fun in the
future.
am very sorry to see that Treasurer
O'Neill and Sheriff Duckworth, the
/ most efficient officers that Mason
County ever had, are out of politics,
and won't run this year. Isn't there
| a commissionership and an assessors
billet that would suit these able men?
What a beautiful thing it would be to
have Commissioner O'Neill, Treasurer
Lachlan McPhail, and Pros. Attny.
}. w. Day, with Bankers Riley keep
ing the funds of the county safe.
Don't break up your arrangements,
gentlemen, on account OF the A. P. A.
They are only small handful any
how: and the great majority of them
are "lazy, incompetent and dishonest"
and any "disgruntled office seekers"
from them, of course, will have no
show with the people, against such
efficient men rs you have mentioned.
That Treasurer O'Ncill and Sheriff
Duckworth are the most efficient Of
ficeis the County ever had is not only
affirmed by the gentlemanly Editor of
the Tribune, but seems to be borne
out by facts-for hasn't Treas. O'Neill
been efficient enough in his own
business to grow rich in the past four
years, while other men have had all
they could do to make decent living?
And Sheriff Duckworth, didn't he
give q noble specimen of his efficiency
the other night in detecting the men,
bers OF a secret order when they were
going home from lodge meeting? Can
the County afford to let such an
active officer go out OF politics and
Office, for I am sadly afraid if he goes
out of Office, the people will forget to
call him back, and Mason County will
stop. hope that the representative
tax payers of the League" will take
care this sad event don't occur. Some
people are bothering because Joe Day
and Judge Dunbar don't join the
League, but / think Joe is waiting
till he is ready to answer the questions
in the Abstract suit, and the Judge
hasn't got his conscientious scruples"
ironed out yet. No, gentlemen, take
the advice OF an old soldier, stick by
your guns and remember that the few
members of the A. p. A., through
their "laziness, incOmpetency and dis
honesty, are unworthy OF your
notice, and it is ridiculous to change
your slate on their account.

public, this purpose being attained by
two methods, the injunction that the
circulation shall be taken into consid-
Grafton as to which is the best bidder.
and the designation by the Commits
sloners OF the successful bidder as the
official newspaper of the County-the
paper to which all citizens interested
in the county can confidently turn to
see what proceedings affecting their
property are pending by the notices
thereof.
"The &C ton of these defendants in
violating the provisions of this con-
tract can therefore be Justly viewed
as an infraction not only of the con-
tract but also Of the public policy o.
the law under which the contract was
made
"In the publication of road notices
we have method of notifying the
owners of property affected by these
proceedings, and common Justice
would require that the notices should
be published in that paper in which
from the designation by the Commits
sioners, they have right to expect
all such official matter would be pub
lished
zone other feature presents itself
strongly to attention: By the free and
open competition between bidders for
the franchise of the exclusive advertis-
ing of the official notices and county
printing, much economy in the inter
est of the county is obtained.
"In this particular case the advan-
tage of the franchise seemed so great
to the successful bidder that he con-
tracted to perform the advertising of
these notices without charge, finding
his advantage probably in the increase
OF his circulation, by the public knowl-
edge OF its being the official newspaper.
"To permit without restraint a
county officer to violate it at bis pleas
ure, would be, in addition to the con-
slderation already presented, an al
most complete destruction of the value
OF this franchise, by the uncertainty
introduced. and would inevitably cause
demands from bidders for the propos-
ed service, equivalent at least to the
value Of the service Invested of anv in
trinsic benefit arising under the law
when unimpaired."

possession of them. In addition; 1 had o
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an inGeSCribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief Once it fastens upon q person, they
say, it continues its inSidiOuS progress until
it reaches vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. had been doctOring
a year and half steadily, but with no par

and there has not been even the slightest
indication of it's return. J. now feel as
well as [ ever did, and have gained, ten

fact, \. H. Beckman of the Puget

quoted are from 50 to 50. Less than a
