The old county officers were
renominated at the county con-
vention last Saturday, which goes
to show that the republican party
does not draw the line in this
county when it comes down to
county offices. The old officers
will no doubt be reelected as it
is generally admitted that we
have as good a set Of county
officials as it is possible to obtain.
The only nomination made out
side of those now holding office
was for county Judge, L. p.
Warner getting the nomination.
He is capable and the people
would help out a deserving citi-
zen by electing him to the Office.

A NOTE OF WARNING.

Some say Mckinley will win,
hands down. We believe it.
But it will not do for the repub-
licans to rest on their oars. While
the republican party has always
stood for sound money, a staple
currency and an honest dollar to
pay an honest debt it has not
been educating it's constituency
on this, which so far as discus
sion is concerned is to be the is
sue of the campaign. On the
other hand the democratic party
and the populist, the bimetallic
party and the free silver wing of
the prohibition party under the
name of National Party are
cooked and primed on this issue
and are in a position to take ad.
vantage of all the discussions in
favor of free silver for the past
twenty years. All these ele
ments will stand together against
Mckinley and sound money
whether they succeed in uniting
on Bryan or not. Eternal vigi
lance is the price of victory
The republican party expects
every republican to do his duty.

G. H. Johnson, of Cooperstown, N.

his way to Milo to visit his old home
and his parents after an absence of 20
years. Mr.. johnson is a man of

has been engaged in the mercantile

county. MIR. johnson has been In thu
west long enough to have his eye teetl
we'll cut, but found himself in al
amusing predicament Friday after
noon just the same.
Soon after leaving .Waterville {
we'll dressed young man came into tn.
car in which Mr.. johnson was seated
and, after undressing him announced
that he had been on a collecting tril
and had a lot of small bills and silve,
which he would like to. exchange fo,
bills of larger denomination. Mr.
Johnson told him that he would &C
commodate him by taking $5 worth
and the transfer was quickly made.
Then the fellow urged the westernel
to take more, but the latter declined,
saying that he did not care for it.
''You aren't afraid of this money.
are you?" said the alleged bill col.
lector. ''Here, look at that and see ii
you don't call it pretty good stuff. .
he added, as he tossed a handful OF
the cash to the brakeman.
The man of brass buttons and unin-
telligible pronounciation looked at
the wealth and allowed that he
wouldn't mind having cart load of
such stuff as that. 1t was all on a
parity with gold and would pass
muster at either Chicago or st. Louis,
in Canton, Ohio. or Lincoln, Neb., so
he decided.
The man of small change said so
much that finally the obliging vest
erner said: ''Well, I'll take $50 worth
more OF your bills, ii you say 500
The fellow counted them out and let
them fall one after another into Mr..
Johnson's hand and then took Mr..
Johnson's $50. The transaction had
been quite completed when the stran-
ger suddenly said: ''Let's see. Didn't
l make a mistake in running over
those bills. Kindly allow me to count
them again." Mr.. johnson passed
back the roll and his companion ran
it rapidly over, returning IL with the
remark that it was all right after all.
A few minutes later he strolled out ol
the car.
Then it occurred to Mr. johnson
that it might also stand second
counting as far as he was concerned
and he took hand at it. Behold
There was but $15 in the roll! He hat
been fiim-aammed on his native sol
where all the people were supposed tt
be Puritanical.
He laughed a little. Then he got I;
little mad and reported his loss tt
Conductor Mike Healey, who immedi
ately took steps to hunt the fellow up
Mr.. Johnson went through the trair
with the conductor, but the tiim-han
artist was not aboard and it was taker
for granted that he left the train a,
Pittsfield.
Mr.. johnson didn't mind the $15 al
all. but he would have given and viii
still give double that sum for brie
tete-a-tete with the man who inter
viewed him. And he won't ask for the
fifteen either. He will get satisfaction
in some other way.
Mr.. Johnson says his obliging dis
position caused him a loss of $3.50 once
before. but he got that money back
To think that he should again have
been touched for a tenth of tha
sum is very CALLING and leads him te
yearn for the gore of somebody.
But the yearning is not likely to bt
satisfied.

Kansas City, May 1.-THE strike OF
forty-four firemen OF the Armour pack

for adjustment. The committee met Su-
perintendenf Tourtelotte. OF Armour's, to-
day, and again submitted the mems de-
mands.
The company refused TO receue from
its position, and when the result was re-
ported to the council the boycott was de-
cided upon and full repor. of the sriev-
ance Of the flremen was dispatched to The
