ADVICE IN LOVE AFFAIRS.
The Old rlan Had a Constitutional
Right to be a Jackass.

There is no use of opposing a love at
falr, not even when the actors play into
your own hands, says the New York
Herald" l know what I'm saying.
I've had experience with two-the young
and the old man. My first experience was
with a young man who didn't know his
mind and asked me what he had better
do and I, like a father, told him he
had not better marry the girl he was
counting. He went right off and mar
ried her.
An old man from the country came in
to the car where l was reading my
morning paper and sat down at my
side Beg your pardon, SIR he said.
Did you ever court a grass widder?"
"Oh, yes" l said. I've courted
dozen or more. Why?"
Did you ever marry one?"
YES"
'fWall-er-p'raps yer kin give chap
a point or two?"
"Oh, certainly; all the points you
want"
Are they any different from other
women?"
Say, old fellow, I've courted all sorts
of women, both married and unmarried,
and they are all just alike. They do all
the courting and generally propose be-
fore you have courted them week.
"Wall-er-what's your opin'n?"
"It is this-the man who marries one is
a jackass.''
The old fellow scratched his head for
moment, and after he had got his idea
racked in the right spot he said:
''Wall-er-hain't I as much constitu-
tional right to be jackass as yer have!
Wall-er-I guess, and I'm goin' 'cept
her proposal by wire. Write it out fer
me. won't yer?"

The Republican
Financial Plank
Adopted by the National Convention at St.
Louis. June Is. 1896.

THE Republican party Is unre-
servedly for sound money. It caused
the enactment of the law providing
for the resumption of specie pay
ment in 1879; since then every dol
lar has been as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit Of
our country. We are, therefore, op-
posed to the free coinage of silver,
except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations
of the world, WHICH WE PLEDGE
OURSELVES TO PROMOTE; and
until such agreement can be OBJ
tained, the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver
and paper currency must be main
tanned at parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to
maintain inviola BILE the obligations of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the pres
ent standard, the standard of the
most enlightened nations Of the
world"

THE FLAT TRUTH.

Visalia Delta: The fact of the matter
is that it was the Populists and not the
Republicans who insisted on the names
of the fusion Presidential Electors ap-
pearing twice on the ballot, and there
was much jubilation amongst them
when it was announced that the ballots
would be so printed 1t was contended
by them that If the names appeared as
Democrats and Populists the relative
strength of the parties at the polls would
not be apparent, whereas, by appearing
as Democratic Electors distinctively,
then the strength of each party in the
State would be shown.

among friends Of the chairman in Cleve

when he returns here the cabinet slate

In addition to this, it is stated that

Sharkey clinched and rushed Fitzsim-

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. 2.-The
ice gorge has formed at the foot OF the
city bridge 80 feet high and the course
OF the river 10 slowly changing until it
will eventually enter town. Every mer.
chant of Spring, River, Central and
Bridge streets, as far up as Staley
street, eight blocks from, the river has
moved out and their buildings are aban-
donedY The flood excitement is at fever
heat, for it is almost certain that the
course OF the river will be turned upon
the town some time during the day and
great destruction to property as we'll as
losss OF life may result. One thousand
pounds OF dynamite was exploded
in the gorge today, but without result.
Debris and anchor ice would fill in as
fast as an aperture was made and those
at work despaired of being able to ac-
complish anything.
1t is repolte that the Little falls dam,
10 miles above town, has gone out, and,

reach the city by evening. The reports
were not confirmed, and great many
citizens believe it is unauthentic. If it
is fact, then the catastrophe will be in

Good Cause for Alarm,

ST. PAUL, Dec. "A special from
Chippewa Falls, Wis, says that at
o'clock tonight the situation in Chip
pewa Falls is more hopeful, The water
has receded about six inches, and it is
believed that it may not rise higher al
though the city has twice been fooled
within IS hours by exactly the same con-
dltioDs. Last night the water receded
eight inches between the hours of and
y, but after that hour it came up rapid
ly until it had gone two feet above its
former high-wHter mark Tonight's 9
bright prospects may be but repetition
OF those of lastnight and light before,
and before daylight many expect that
the water will be creeping up Bridge
street into the residence portion of the
city,
The gorge in the channel Of the river
has been added to all day and tonight it
seems veritable mountain, which tons
OF dynamite cannot affect. If the water
is succeeding in cutting passage be-
| meath this immense mass Of frozen srow
and ice, further rise may NOT he ex-
pericrced but ii is doubtful If sufficient
volume can find it's way under it to save
the city from further destruction. At G
o clock tonight an immense amount of
anchor ice was piled up in the river at
foot OF Bridge street, indicating that the
gorge had anchored on the bottom and
that the water Was no longer finding its
way beneath it. The fact that the river
had fallen lJ inches at Eau Claire
seemed to warrant this belief, but, never
| theess, the water did not continue to
rise in this city after that hour. 1t may
be possible that the water has found an.
other means Of passing down the river,
but citizens will not feel absolutely cafe
until it has been demonstrated by sew
erai days observation that the river has
reached its maximum height
The situation mere was interesting in
the extreme today. The city was panic
stricken and men with blanChed faces
rushed back and forth ecarceiy conscious
Of their actions The alarm may be un-
founded, but, nevertheless, it exists, and
ths condition Of the river seems TO augur
| i'll for the entire city, Wild reports
reach town Of the havoc wrought by the
stream above, and terrible catastrophe
that may oyeTtake the city at any mo-
ment. No one knows Just what is in
store and the condition of uncertainty
gGds more TO the excitement OF tho mo-
ment than the actual destruction OF
property by the liver possibly could.
| One rumor to the effect that the river
, would cut "a passage for itself through
the high banks north of the city gave
rise TO a great deal of apprehension. The
rivers course is seriously obstructed by
the gorge which has now reached to
within short distance Of tho dam, and
the probable turning of the course of
the stream Upon the city seems go plaus-
ible that everyone at onca became even
more IjaLiG ltilcKen. Hundreds of teams
started at daylight TO move the effects
Ut the merchants out Of the way of posi-
BILE danger, and Bridge and Central
streets were choked all day with wagons
| loaded down with merchandise.

REPUBLICANS MAKE A KICK
Two Defeated Candidates File Con
tests Against w. II. Gelsthorpe
and L. NJ. Mcdonnell.
They Make Some Remarkable ALE
cations and Swear That They
Are True.

Quite sensation was sprung Wednes-
day in the court house by the filing OF
contests by A. E. Dickerman and Joe
Huston, republican candidates for the
offices of treasurer and county clerk, re-
spectively, against their successful op-
ponents, DR.. w. H. Gelsthorpe and l..
NJ Mcdonnell The majority of Dr.
Gelsthorpe for treasurer over Dickerman
wRs 4S on the official count Mcdonnell
had on official count plurality of 10
over Huston for clerk and recorder. AS
the election boards were in the hands Of
the republicans and in almost every in
stance contained majority Of repub-
lcsns, it was not thought likely that any
allegations of fraud On their part would
be made by the defeated republican can
didates, and the contests filed
on the last day allowed by law came as
a surprise to most people. According to
the allegations contained in the com
plainte, there is not single precinct in
the county in which the judges were not
guilty Of malconduct and misconduct
in the discharge of their official duties"
| The extent of these frauds is something
stupendous, according to the statements
of the contestants in their complaints
making a difference Of exactly 500 votes
in the case of Huston and 49G in the case
of Dickerman.
Dickerman's complaint covers 43 pages
Of type writing 1t goes on to recite the
facts concerning his nomination by the
republican party and the silver republic
an party and the due filing of certificates
of such nominations, the printing OF his
name on the official ballot and declares
| that more than 1850 votes we're cast for
him on the ballot, although the official
count showed l,90S votes.
1t then declares that Gelsthorpe's
name was printed on the official ballot
as the alleged or pretended candidate Of
those political parties known as the peo-
ple's party and the democratic party,
but plaintiff alleges that defendant
| Gelsthorpe's name had no right to ap-
pear on the ballot as the candidate Of
the peoples party or the democratic
party or any other party, and was
wrongfully on the ballot, and that not
more than 1850 votes were cast for said
Gelsthorpe, although the official returns
make it appear that 1853 votes had been
cast tor him.

judges in each precinct we're guilty of
