DOOMED THE TICKET.

The Bellevue Mckinley and Hobart
club, with President Herbert Noble in
the chair. met last evening in the
Pleasant View hall and showed that
Bellevue still knows how to shout Re-
publicanism. 1t was spirited meet
ing. Last night the meeting was ad-
dressed by John II. Fellows. DR.. N. c.
Mackay, candidate in the Third Legis-
lative district, and George Beemer. Dr.
Mackay was received with great ap-
plause. He talked on the issues of the
campaign and referred particularly to
the need of hard work in the First dis
trict. Mr.. Fellows was paid a pretty
compliment by the club members when
he arose to speak. William Jones and
others sang solos. 1t was a great meet
ing and President Noble, always witty,
evidenced to the visitors present that
Bellevue Is all right.

CHARGE AGAINST z. C. SMITH.

A warrant which Alderman Moses
yesterday placed in the hands of Con-
stable Burchell for the arrest of n. G..
Smith, who lives at 1908 Sadie place,
charges Smith with larceny of the fur
niture OF Mrs. Elizabeth Mill. 1t seems
that several months ago Smiths home
on Van Buren, avenue burned to the
ground and with 1t went all his house,
hold goods. Mrs. Mill heard Of his
trouble. Here" she said to Mr.. Smith.
you have no furniture; my husband
and are going to visit friends out OF
town and our house which we rent at
1868 Sadie place will be empty for
few months. Why not use our furni-
ture during our absence; why not live
In our house?" Mr.. Smith accepted
the proposition and he and his family
were soon enjoying the comforts of Mrs.
Mills home. He liked the place SO
we'll that he purchased the house and
when Mrs. Mill came home from her
visit Mr.. Smith refused to give up the
furniture. At least that is her state
ment. Now she is suing for the house
hold goods and the constable Is after
Smith. What his explanation of the
transaction is will be made known
when he appears at the hearing before
Alderman Moses.

SCARCE money is always dear mon ey.
When we speak of the supply OF money
we do not mean money hid away IN
the treasures Of the various govern
ments OF the earth, locked up by indi-
viduas and banks, or otherwise out Of
crcul tipr The supply of money is
the amount that can be used by the
people al given time as the consider
alton for the transfer of other kinds OF
property. There should, therefore,
be an amount Of money in circulation
equal in value to the property TO be
transferred. The property to be trans
ferred means TO each individual
farmer everything that he produces
over and above the amount he con
sumes at home.

sANDYsTON MATTER

So much has been written and
talked concerning the troubles in
that township that our readers have
probably concluded enough has been
said, but a word may tend to some
what clear the atmosphere. We
have no desire to express any opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of
any person, believing that those in a
position to know, and candidly
weigh the facts can come to a salts
factory conclusion. The difficulty
arose apparently from jesting re-
marks made by some person in re-
gard to the conduct of Rev. c. w.
Demings. These remarks being re-
peated, grew in strength and parti-
cularity, until at length Mr.. DEM
ings thought it necessary to obtain
a refutation, which he sought al
the hands of a certain woman, who
made an affidavit exonerating him
from all blame An open letter was
