from a Prominent Farmer.

To my fellow citizens of Benton and Lin
coin counties: desire to express my senti-
ments regarding matter that is pertinent at
this time. Disregarding politics, do not
think there is man in Benton or Lincoln
counties who is better fitted for the honorable
and important Office of joint representative
than Mr.. E. r. Lake. Mr.. Lake is a COM
paratively young man ard neighbor Of
mine, living on farm near Granger, in
Benton county, Now, some Of you old
men may think that such an Office should be
held by men advanced in years, but think
we should be proud to have strong, active,
capable young man like MIR. Lake in the
field, who is willing to take up the duties
and responsibilities of such an office, and is
ready at any and all times 10 do what he can
homes.
am positive Mr.. Lake will actively favor
any bill beneficial to Benton and Lincoln
counties, and the whole state Of Oregon,
that may come before the legislature. AS I
said before, he is just the man we want for
that office, for he is not to be bluffed out
when he knows he is right. He is earnest
and convincing in debate without losing his
temper. believe, also, that when we go to
the ballot box we should consider whether
we would have an intelligent, basiness-like
farmer represent us. or lawyer by profess
sion, as, am informed, his opponent is.

"buck'' from Bill 4Fafer of Albany last
week, and now he's having a great time
keeping his goats from jumping into Mr..
Schoals' wheat. Mrs. says he don't like

better. ~
The surprise dance at Mr.. Shoals last
Friday night was well attended, and the
report is they had good time.
Mr.. Lake. republican nominee for joint

fited by the trip.

Hon. w. E. Yates, republican

Hon. w. f.. Yates, republican
nominee for prosecuting attorney
of this judicial district, is not only
an able lawyer, but he is man of
unusual attainments, of unblem
ished character, and is one of the
most genial and popular gentlemen
in this district. That he will fill
the office of prosecuting attorney
acceptably to the people, in the
interests of justice and right and
to his own credit, goes without
saying. A better or more deserv-
ing gentleman for the important
and responsible office could not
have been found in the district,
and we hope he Will be elected by
the largest majority ever given to
any candidate for any Office in this
district.-Yaquina Post.

they were loud in their praises of it and in

Political Notes.

Judge Northrup is running as
the Oregonian's candidate for con-
gresham in the End district. 1t
is estimated that he will receive
1900 votes.
Allen Parker is announced as
the independent democratic can
didate for JOINT representive from
Lincoln and Benton counties.
The democratic leaders are de-
voting their sole attention to sler-
iff and clerk. and particularly to
the former office. They think that
by sacrificing the rest of the tick
ct, those two places will have some
show Of success.
The Oregonian states that eff
forts are being made to have Van
derburg and Myers both draw off
and place Judge Waldo in the field
against Mr.. Tongue. Such move
would insure an exciting contest
in this congressional district. Mr..
Tongue, howe er, is growing stead
lily in favor. The Oregonian has
attacked his financial views, which
fact insures his election.
Mr.. Underwood has decided not
to run as the populist and prohi-
bitionest candidate for sheriff. 1t
is said that he has not been resi-
dent of the county long enough to
make him eligible. The populist
vote is now matter of Importance
to political prophets. The demo
Gratis are working every known
scheme to influence them for the
Tammany ticket, but as the popu
lists are straight for economy, the
majority of their votes can safely
be estimated as favoring the re-
publican county candidates.

MR.. BUSH Is "No TRADER"

I wish to correct report that is being
persistently circulated to the effect that
have withdrawn from the contest. I am
still in the field and will do all can to
be elected fairly and honorably. I re-
ceived the nomination for assessor at the
hands of the populist convention and feel
it to be my duty to do what I can for my
self and the other populist nominees.
1t is true was requested by the chair
man of the populist executive committee
to withdraw; this request coming as
though it was from the committee itself
I do not count myself bigger than my
party, and am willing to abide by its de-
cisions. 1 wrote the executive commit
tee and was then informed that it was
the wish of the minority of the commit
teemen that stay in the field. do not
believe in making the populist party and
its candidates stool pigeons for politicians
of another party. I ask the people of
Benton county for their suffrages. Twill
assess the county fairly, equitably and
thoroughly and at the least possible ex-
pense to the tax payers. feel that am
competent for the position. Iknew that
I will work for the county; as though I
was working for myself. will not re-
gard the tour when go to assess the peo-
pie, as pleasure journey, sit down and
visit three or four hours with different
friends and then go and assess man. I
will feel that the county is entitled to
| my whole time In conclusion wish to
again state that am candidate and will
work to be elected and also desire to
say that the populist party is party of
principle and true populists are not to be
traded and sold. H. L. BUSH.

THE GOOD LUCK CLUB
Contributed I

[Contributed.l
Here's to the Good Luck Club!
May it thrive,
With its jolly lot Of fellows
All alive;
Its mysterious limitations,
Its nocturnal celebrations,
The presidents perorations
In the hive.
The objects of the club
Are plain enough:
The boys cannot be cranky,
Proud nor gruf;
Must be free, and square, and gay,
Strong anti-Tammany,
And never run away
From bluff.
Ever keep the horse shoe
Oar the door.
Ever let the ''growler''
Rush and roar.
When the members cease to roam
And are gathered in the home,
May the ''growler" froth and foam
On the floor.

she had written informing them Of her

as well say here that the letter she claimed
to have sent never came to Light, and Mr.

.sRose reIented towards the doctor and
would have IA ken him on half hint, but he
seemed rather squeamish about marrying a
woman whose presence infected him with a
feeling of indecision as to whether he was
making love to his own wife or somebody
elses, and he wisely fought shy of her and
married a demure little creature who has

Rose isn't married yet. I've seen her Il

haunted by a score OF vexing questions, and

thing. Is she herself or somebody else?
Were there really two girls or only one? II
there were two, which did the old folks
really keep al, last for their daughter and
what became of the other?

animals were gsided across Exchange place
by attendants, and the elephants went along
very peaceably.
They hadn't gone great distance, how
ever. when Jumbo's blck began TO itch. The
big elephant tried to reach the place with
his trunk, but didn't manage to. SO he
stepped from the line and looked for some
suitable place against which to rub his
back. There were two objects in sight,
big Flagstaff and Paddy Barns shanty.
which stood in the rear of the Three Ones
fire station. Jumbo picked out-the shanty,
and by the time he had relieved his feelings
things inside were upside down and the
building had nearly been removed from its
foundations and showed into the water.
Paddy Burns looked for lawyer and
found the late Ambrose Z. West. The attor-

lady herself fell Into reminiscent -mocd
and favored them with the following ex-
cerpt from the proof-sheets of her "Thirty
Years as Public Benef3ctor."
Il think,'' she said, that the most mys-
terionsa and altogetherinterestinge experience

was1a little drama that was enacted at my
house about five years ago. was running
a particularly select establishment then In

prominent business men OF the town had
no trouble In filling my rooms with ultra
desirable people, all of whom, except some
few who were called away op business now
and then, stuck to me like iceches so long a $
l found IL 10 my advantage to remain in
that city.
MY boarders were pleasant and con-
genial, and liked them all, but there was
one young fellow in whom had taken an
especial interest. He was an industrious
wide-awake young doctor who had won his
way to his then envianlc position, both in
his profession and in society, by dint OF a
doggcd perseverance which had finally over
come all prejudice against him caused By
lack of family. money ndinfIuential friends,
and had lifted him To the high notch he
was occupying when first knew him.
Our most intimate friends in omaha
were people named Malsbury. Mr.. Mails
bury had formerly been closely associated
with my husband in business. and the mother
was slightly related to Dim through mar
riage, so there were several reasons for
the deep friendship existing between us.
There were three children in their family
a son and two daughters, the youngest of
whom was bright, eood-iooking girl OF
about twenty-one. My daughter Jennie
was several years her junior. and in the
beginning OF the acquaintance she con-
ceived fof her one OF those violent at
tachments which very young girls are
