Senator G.. K. Davis is being
favorably mentioned as @ member
of the new presidents cabinet.
There is no person in the state
more entitled to the position than
the senator. He was considered an
available and possible candidate
for presidential nomination, with
this prominence and his expert
ence as law maker, should place
him in the lead for consideration
as member of McKinley's cabi-
net. He has spent years. of labor
in the interest Of the republican
party, and in the campaign just
passed he took an active> part,
rendering great service, and as q
result McKinley's majority was
increased. .@....

A considerable speculation is
going on as to McKinley's cabinet
and Minnesota's prospect Of being
represented in that body. Minne-
sofa gave Mckinley nearly the
largest majority of any state, not
withstanding it was considered
doubtful, which is one reason she
is justly entitled to the honor.
We notice that Rev. Robert
McC une is mentioned for the chap
lainship in one of the houses of
Legislature this winter. The
Elder is a able man for nearly any
position, and better selection for
a chaplain could not be made.
His many friends in the vicinity
as we'll as ourselves would be pleas
ed to see him favored with the ap-
pointment.
An ef6gy Of Gov. Altgeld was
burned and kicked about the
streets of Naperville, Ills, at a

This barbarian spirit should be
crushed and not encouraged. The
ballot box is good enough for us.

This world of ours is full of trouble,
and within the past few days, a young
man by the name of LOUIS Johnson, a
carpenter, thinks the iron hand of fate
has been dead set against him.
Ii seems that Johnson for some time
past has lived supremacy happy in the
presence of a comely widow named
Anders. No cloud appeared TO mar
the peace of this loving couple, until a
few short weeks ago. At this time an
other woman who had previously, So we
are informed, found marriage a fail
ure," appeared upon the scene. One
glance of her loving eye struck John
son So forcibly, that forgetting all the
promises he had made No. |, he com
menced making love to No. =, also
blowing in his money for much muslin
and other necessities pertaining to
house keeping and we are told the day
was set for the contamination of their
recently exchanged VOWS.
These stories came to the ears of
widow No. l.. Did she sit down and
write loving epistles to the faithless
knight, or lock herself up in her room
and weep for her lost love? Well we
guess not. She proceeded To a court of
J Justice, and there filed a complaint, ac-
cusing this mar Johnson, of being the
direct cause of a great deal of trouble
to her.
Johnson was arrested Tuesday and
confined in the bastile. When left alone
to ponder over his waywardness, ne
soon became convinced that widow No.
| held the winning hand, and ran up the
white flag of truce, promising to give
up No. = and marry her.
Wednesday afternoon Constable Lauer,
took his prisoner in the country, So that
he could raise the little sum of $500
that had been piled up against him, and
also 10 permit him to don a suit of
clothes fit for "a bridegroom to wear up
on the near approaching event.
When they arrived at a farm house
where Johnson was confident he could
receive the necessary funds, he asked
Lauer's permission to interview his
friend coniidentially on the other side
of the fence. Ira granted the permits
sion, and right there is where he learn.
ed that human nature is very deceitful.
Johnson got Oyer the fence and talked
to this friend. Suddenly a streak of
varied colors flashed before Lauer's eyes
and as he gazed In amazement, the coat
tails of Johnson disappeared behind a
corn crib, and he made good his escape.
1t is understood that No. = is delight
ed at his escape, and that under her in
structions he was getting out of the
IIoosler state, after which she would go
to him, and thus No. |, would be left In
the SOup.

That was tended VITA care,
Rudely taken from our presence;
How our aching hearts despair.
