A MINISTERIAL SURPRISE.

Rev. and Mrs. Z. 7. Hagerman are taken
Unawares on their Crystal Wedding
day.
On last Thursday evening as Rev E. 7.
Hagerman was about to dismiss the reg
ular prayer meeting, R. IL. Kinnison
stepped forward and quietly asked the
congregation to be seated. In pleas
ing manner lie informed them and the
preacher that this was the diyine's fif-
teenth wedding anniversary. In a short
and well pointed speech Mr.. Kinnison,
while Rev. Hagerman sat on the "tOtter-
ing fence" introduced the Blowing
Wall'-Rev. A. G. Wall, Of the Baptist
Church, who propOunded many serious
questions to the couple, provoking much
mirth in the answers.
As Rev. Wall retired attendants
brought forward an elegant onyx stand
piano lamp, the gift Of the church mem
bership, which was presented by r. II.
KinnisOn. Then Miss Edith Peirce, on
the behalf of Rev. Hagerman's Sunday
school class, presented him with a silver
and crystal fruit dish. Miss Vinna
Peters presented Mrs. Hagerman with a
set of fruit knives as gift from her
class.
After congratulating the bride and
wishing the groom many happy returns
Of the event, all retired to the southeast
classroom where light supper was
served to those who desired it. The re-
mainder Of the evening was spent in
social recreation. The 800 present voted
it a successful surprise, as it indeed was.
Rev. Hagerman came to us four years
ago as pastor Of the NJ. E. Church and
during that time he and his wife have
made many warm and intimate friends
who wish them success. The event Of
Thursday night was one the best evl-
dences that anyone could wish of the
high regard in which they are held by
the parishioners.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the on
ly positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces OF the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing her work. The pro-
prietOrs have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers that they offer 800 for any
case that 1t fails to cure. Send for list

Seventeen Hundred Dollars.

StaIaps ana hAouey Taken to the Value of
Seventeen Hundred Dollars.
At an early hour this morning the
night watch reported to Postmaster
Arner that the pOstOffice had evidently
been robbed. The two came down and
entered and upon examination found
that the front doors had been forced to
gain an entrance, the door Of the safe
blown off and everything promiscOusly
arranged
The burglars did not stop to look after
the yaluables in the building, but car
ried the trays and boxes out near the
Methodist church and riGed them. A tin
box that contained the currency was
found on Magyar street. The loss is
placed at 81, 700 stamps, $1,000; cash,
$500
Seventy-6ye dollars of this belonged to
Howard Follansbee, clerk in the Office,
$225 to Postmaster Arner, and the bal
unce W Ile pOSIOlnce department. The
night watch says he passed the office one
half hour before it was ascertained that
it had been entered. The door Of the
safe was blown eight feet and must have
fallen heavily upon the floor. The tools
were obtained from Fairfeld's black
smith shop.
On account Of illness Nightwatch
Williams had not been on duty since
Sunday night. About two o'clock this
morning he came up town to get tooth
extracted and in passing the postofficc
discovered that something was wrong and
reported it to Wesley Seeley, who ha(
been on dnty since that time.

1T is with sincere regret that THE
ISLANDER records the retirement of
J. 4. Gould from the Craftsmanship of
the county central committee. He is
a keen business man, staunch Repub-
lican, an admirable organizer and an
active and enthusiastic worker in any
cause that he espouses. Two years
ago he did splindid work for the party
in this county and it is to be regretted
that he feels that the circumstances
are such this year that the work had
better be intrusted to another man.
Without any disposition to disparage
the qualifications Of Mr. Showers for
that position we feel that the work of
the campaign could be best facilitated
by its efficient direction from the coun-
ty seat. We have had some personal
differences with Mr.. Gould, but none
that prevent us from recognizing his
admirable qualities rs citizen and IA
Republican to which we bear willing
testimony in this Acknowledgement of
his services. We shall now do every
thing in our power to assist Mr.. Stow
ers and his associates in their work
and with that end in view we suggest
that the committee be called to meet
at Friday Harbor at an early date to
make needful preliminary arrange
ments for the campaign.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Republican county convention
has placed before the people a ticket
which must command the respect OF
all classes of citizens and should enlist
the cordial support of every loyal Re
publican. AS is always the case when
there are contests for official positions
there are some personal disappoint-
ments as q result Of the nominations
made, but even these instances are
fewer than usual this year, and there
is little reason to doubt that the sound
common sense and sterling Republi-
canism of the defeated aspirants will
soon triumph over all less worthy
feelings and lead them into earnest
and effective support of the entire
ticket. 1t is of greater Importance
than many of our citizens may now
realize that the enviable position OF
San Juan county as the banner Re-
publican county of the state, i'll pro-
portion to its size and population,
should be maintained. For the past
two years every official trust in the
county has been administered by a
Republican and no trust has been
abused. The management of county
affairs has been rigidly economical
and exceptionally efficient. The plat
form very justly declares that "not
the slightest scandal nor derilection of
duty has been or can be charged to any
Official" and there is not Of these,
measured by the standard of honest
service, who did not well deserve the
compliment of denomination for see
ond and who does not now deserve the
greater compliment of reelection and
the new men are equally deserving.
They stand upon platform of princi-
pies which is a credit to the party and
to the convention, and they should
receive the earnest support of every
elector who believes in protection and
ian honest dollar and the chance to
earn itD

IT is due to our respected fellow
townsman John l.. Blair to say that
his name would not have been pre-
sented to the convention last Saturday
as a candidate for representative had
he not relied upon what he at least I'M
derstood to be assurances of strong
support from other precincts in the
event of the endorsement of his can
didacy by his home precinct. Had the
gentlemen who are said to have given
him these assurances notified him
or his friends of their change of mind
before a ballot was taken he would
avoided being sacrificed in such man.
ner by withdrawing. This courtesy
we believe was due to him, for he is a
staunch Republican and an honorabl
and upright man who enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of the people in a
far greater degree than his vote IN the
convention, unexplained, might indi-
cate. He is not man to cherish any
bitter animosities as a result of such q
contest and he may safely be counted
upon from now until the day of cleo
ton to give his earnest support to the
Republican ticket.

TRUE REPUBLICAN POLITICS.
Some Interesting Pointers which Applies
well in Jan Juan County.

All the surroundings Ofthe county con-
vention yesterday seem peculiarly graft
fying to Republicans. 1t has been an I'M
fortunate fact that in years gone by, there
was, in Whatcom county, quite tenden-
cy all along the Republican line, to in
dulge in small and cotemptible animosi-
ties growing out Of rivalry among can
didates, which eliminated in taking it
out Of and getting even with successful
candidates for nominations, by a resort
to knitting tactics. 1t used to be, appar-
emily, considered part OF politics to beat
one at the polls who was too strong to be
beaten in the convention, and was in
vogue both among defeated candidates
and their friends. That custom is no
longer considered good style, and has
been relegated to the vast collection of
discarded barbarisms. In yesterdays
gathering, the total absence of any such
deteStable spirit was a conspicuous feature
The delegates seem to have been elected
on an express understanding that the
main idea was to select from among the
candidates, only the very best and cleanest
and most available men, and TO put forth
a ticket against which no reasonable OBJ
lection could be fairly urged. Nearly
every delegate was elected unpledged,
and came untrammeled, many of them
declining to run as delegates in the prim-
aries except on that express condition.
The result was that delegates assembled
perfectly free to exercise their very best
judgment i'll looking over the whole field,
and take advantage Of every availability,
and with a preconceived determination
so to do. And similar patriotic feeling
animated all the candidates; they were,
without exception, so far as we know,
perfectly content to abide the result of the
determination made in that spirit, and in
every instan the vanquished ones, or
their friends for them, moved ard voted
honestly and sincerely to make the NOM
nations Of their successful rivals unani-
NOUS. There has never been held in the
county, within our knowledge, at least, a
republican convention more harmonious
and free from chickering's and personal
auimOSitieS. OF course it is not in human
nature that defeat should not produce a
feeling of disappointment. Probably no
man was ever a candidate for office, who
did not himself think he was the best and
most available candidate, and the awak-
ening from such a dream is more or less
unpleasant and in the nature of shock
But the true Republican, though he may
be sore, never lowers his own self respect
by showing that he is stiff. He remem-
bars that if he has in fact been unfairly
treated by his party, it is moral certainty
that time will establish such injustice,
and the party will be certain to make his
loss gOOd.-WhatcOm Revelie.
