MANY newspaper men are wondering
what motive actuated Jerry Nunan, of
the Grants Pass Courier, to make such an
unwaranted attack on the Oregon Press
Association in his last issue It seems,
that with the assistant of young lady,
Jerry gets the paper out alone. He was
unwilling to leave his assistance in charge
of the the Office while he was on a iaunt
to Pendleton, and, because he was COM
PEELED to forego the pleasure of the trip,
he is jealous of the boys who were more
fortunately situated.

Mr.. W. M. Terry, who has been in the
drug business in Elkton, KY, for the past
twelve years, says: ''Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy gives better satisfaction than any
other cough medicine I ever sold." There
is good reason for this. No other will cure
a cold so quickly; no other is so certain
preventive and cure for Group; no other af-
fords so much reliet in cases of whooping
cough. For sale by Graham & Wells.

SEVERANCE DECIDES
Bradford and Lynch to Go on the Bal
Iot--Clerk Thorne Got His Name
placed Where Ii Belongs.

The county auditor of Watonwan
county appeared before Judge Sever
ance this morning to show cause why
the names of George Bradford and
E litor Lynch should not be placed on
the official ballot for clerk OF the
courts in that county.
After a showing OF facts the judge
ordered that the names be printed
upon the ballots.
This is parallel case with the one
in Blue Earth county, the only differ
ence being that Auditor Randall
placed the name of Mr.. Thorne on the
ballot in accordance with the demand
OF his pstition, while in Watonwan
the auditor refused to do it until so
ordered Ply the court.
TIE decision shows that MI.
Thorne was correct in securing his
petition and in getting his name upon
the official ballot.
There are half a dozen counties in
like condition, among which are Nj
collet and Waseca.
The candidates who have not al
ready prepared their petitions VIII
now find themselves in serious posi-
tion, as there is absolutely no way IN
which they can have their name plac-
ed upon the official ballot.

It Would Dispel Darkness.
Minneapolis Tribune /:

Minneapolis Tribune:
In his speech at the Lyceum theatre
in this city on Friday evening Con-
gresham McCleary justified his high
reputation as an exponent of the
financial question. He handled a
naturally dry subject in manner
that chained the attention of large
and intelligent audience for nearly
two hours. The Minneapolis speech
would make a better campaign docu-
ment than the one on the same sub
ject by him, published some weeks
ago, because it is more entertaining,
less numbered with statistics, and
better adapted to popular apprehen-
sion. If a COPY of the Minneapolis
speech could be placed in the hands
of every voter it would do much to
dispel the darkness and observation on
financial subjects which pervade sc
many minds.

OPENED THE SAFE,
Attorney Rutan Loses Some Valuable
Coins.

Thursday evening a sneak thief,
who was evidently familiar with the
surroundings, broke open the door of
Attorney Rutan's office in the Odd
Fellows building, and robbed the of
fee safe.
1t has been Mr.. Rutan'S habit to
lock the cash drawers in the safe and
close the outside iron doors without
locking them. The thief had easy
access to the cash drawer, which he
pried open and extracted Mr.. Rutan's
collection of valuable coins, which had
been gotten together after years of
hard work. The collection was almost
invaluable to their owner.
Mr.. Rutan believes the thief sup
posed the money taken in at the K. ?.
benefit at the opera house Monday
night was in the safe.

Aluminium Paint.


1t is stated that aluminium, when
reduced to powder and mixed with a
solution in water OF gum lac, gives a
metallic paint which covers well and
may be shaded with aniline colors
dissolved in water. Tho solution Of
gum lac is made by bringing to boil
ing point mixture of gum lac and
boraX and an alkali such as soda or
ammouiac The solution must con
tain at least from Is to 20 per cent
OF gum lac. Aniline colors are add
ed to produce the shade desired, and
aluminium is added in sufficient
quantity to produce paint suffi-
GENTLY fluid for application with a
brush. The color is brilliant, very
durable and impermeable and may
be applied to metals, paper, wood
and wooden materials. 1t may be
rendered supple by the addition OF a

Not long after the famous debate,
Nate invited the whole company to
visit his house and partake Of the fa-
vorite dish. Anticipation ran high,
and at the appointed hour the club
assembled ell masse, but alas for re-
alization there was no rabbit stew,
only the usual paraphernalia Of
serving it-dlshes, knives, etc.
Nate had sought by this practical
method to force the society to recon
slider its hasty decision and was en-
inently successful. The company
left, very angry, but with the settled
conviction that 30 far as rabbit stew
was concerned realization would be
more satisfactory than anticipation.
