]. J. Close, the old Modoc, was in
from Moran Wednesday and made-us
happy by coming up to the REGISTER
Office and saying that while he was
an ignorant man himself and didn't
know much, yet it seemed 10 him
that there was some right smart sense
in what this paper had said about the
Venezuelan question. He thinks
Grover Cleveland Is mighty late get
ing his war clothes on. why didn't
he think Of the Monroe doctrine when
the Sandwich Islanders were strug-
CLING to overthrow degraded mon
archy and set up Republic? Why
didn't he think of it when the Cuban
patriots appealed for at least a fair
shake in their efforts to throw off the
yoke of Spain? j don't believe in
these 18th hour conversions. 1t looks
to me toe much like a Democratic
campaign dodge" That is what Old
John Close says.
Miss Josie Swearingen gave a very
pleasant party..to her friends at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
P. Duncan, Wednesday evening in
honor of her sixteenth birthday. A
large number of young people were
present and spent very pleasant
, evening. Miss Josie received num-
Der of handsome presents as tokens of
remembrance and as the guests de-
, parted they wished her many happy
returns of the day. Those present
were: Misses Martha Reimert, DOllie
Welker, Cora Mcdonald, Susie Golf,
Pearl Anderson, Ollie and Maude
t Bartles, Ella Post, Lulu Harris, Daisy
and Gertie Hobart, Mae Stillwell,
Ona Cox, Katie Ausherman, Blanche
, Wright, Pearl Servey, Agnes Het-
; finger of Humboldt, and Messrs. Bert
and Walt. MeNiel, Julius Kruger,
E Maynard Bush, Harry Duncan, Bert
Harris, Ord Christian, Bert Miller,
Tom Mcclure, Ralph Brown, Homer
Henderson, Ed. Merchant, Otis

The county officers elected last fall,
with the exception Of treasurer Deck
+ er, who does not take possession of his
office until next October, were duly
r installed into their respective offices
, last Monday. James Wakefield sue
, ceeded Jim Wakefield in the county
clerks office, G.. e. Ausherman fol-
4 lowed Charlie Ausherman into the
, sheriff7s office, J. c. Coffield took the
chair vacated by Clark Coffield, and
: Hon. E. d. Lacey received from Ed.
Lacey the craftsmanship of the Board
of County Commissioners, each of the
old officers retiring and giving place
to the new without a whimper. That
is the kind of men they are. The old
men have filled their offices admir-
ably and have given the comfy faith
full, efficient and honest service. If
the new men do as well, and the gen.
eral opinion is that they will do even
better, the county will indeed be for
tunate. Capt. Dewitt and DR.. Brown
also yieldedagrseefully to the newt
able, and Lutte Slower and DR.. Jewell
were duly installed as Surveyor and
Coroner respectively. And so far as
we.know not one.of them declined Ito
take the ONCE because Monday fell on
the 18th day of the mOnth,-although
they do say that Charlie ..Ausherman
had himself sworn in sometime in
December.
