linguistic dressing down that was q
scorcher. 1t one time 1t seemed as though
actual hostilities would be precipitated,
but Mrs. Delisle calmed herself and al
lowed Mrs. Schmidt to pass out to her
carriage.
Yesterday Mrs Schmidt was not at home
and several calls failed to find her. She
did not occupy her house on Monday
night, and the old lady could not tell
where she had gone. The police detec-
tives were around the place the greater
portion of the day and made another
search, with the same result-nothing.
What the ultimate outcome of the case
will be is matter of speculation. Mrs.
Delisle has telegraphed for her husban i
and he is now on his way here to join
her. She has consulted an ttorney, and
if possible. says she will swear out -
warrant for Mrs. Schmidts arrest. The
detectives are up a tree and can find no
trace of the missing money. That Mrs.
Delisle is short 5000 there is no doubt,
but that she will ever recover her prop
erty is extremely improbable. When
Mr.. Delisle arrives something definite
may be done; until then matters will
probably remain in statu quo.

juncture to the proposition of having
legislative nominees instructed for any

said candidate receives the Endorsement
of the said Otis.
When Mr.. Moore concluded the
reading of the resolutions he moved
their adoption, and at least 100 voices
were heard: "Mr. Chairman. I second
the motion"
Then the applause broke forth, for the
tenor of the resolutions touched SYM
pathetic chord in the bosom Of every
workingman present.
President Martens said: LAS many as

A tremendous storm of ayes went up

assigned to them. -

YER. The officers Of the committee, how

than are the individual members and
they in turn should not be accredited
for the great display made any more
than should organized labor and its
friends generally throughout the city,
To those who are not members Of
unions, but who Jamestown and mani
tested their friendship by contributions
and kind words and acts the Council of
Labor and the Building Trades council
return their thanks. The celebration

Cunning Of the Fox.

No other still hunter can travel so
quietly as a fox, and mighty few
men are as crafty as the four legged
hunter when it comes to a matter of
getting meat. Foxes have been seen
in England slipping from bush to
bush, crawling and creeping after a
feeding hare, for all the world like
a man stalking a deer. The fox cam
not catch a rabbit in a fair chase,
but it's food is mostly rabbits in spite
of their feetness. But at no time
does it display it's skill so we'll as
when running for life with apack of
hounds in it's trail.
Lord Willoughby de Broke writes
to The Badminton Magazine to tell
how a tired fox made straight for a
flock of sheep in a pen, ran through
them and in the end escaped. CLAUS
Magnus, archbishop of Upsala, wrote
a book called "Historia de Gentibus
Septentrionalibus," Of which an
English translation exists. This
book tells of a fox that leaped from
back to back of a herd of goats. As
the dogs could not follow the fox es'
capped.
A curious trick of English foxes is
to jump as high as possible, grasp
ing a tree branch with their teeth
hold on till the hounds have gone
on, and then, dropping to the ground
escape. This is similar to the tricl
of the American fox, which Jumps

as English dogs. They gather aroun'

WE STAND FOR THE RIGHT.

DO you see the eagle? If so, have
you read the sign under it? This
will be a standing advertisement of
the HERALD until the polls have
closed in November. And if there
is any service within the power of
this paper toward the election of
Bryan, and Sewall it will be offered.
There are those of II republican
friends who rather desired that we
Should not do this. They preferred
to see the HERALD stand aloof from
the presidential fight, and keep the
banner of republicanism from stain.
10 those we will say that we have
not changed our politics. But if
they choose to call Mckinley on his
English platform a republican, then
we are obliged to drop from the
ranks.
If government bonds, contracted
currency, and continually falling
prices are republican doctrine, then
we are not in the movement.
The republican party in which we
trusted-and we never had faith in
another-was the friend of silver, the
protector of labor, the defense of the
producer, and the essence of all that's
American or patriotic; the republic
an party of today is controlled by the
bank, the bondholder, the corruption
list, and the absorber of labor's life
blood.
Shall we worship a god whose
pleasure is to destroy us:
Shall we consult Great Britain up

to bear it.
We believe in the right of the pre-
ducer to a full share in the enjoy

We believe, in the course of hum
an events it has become necessary t
sever our allegiance to Great Britai

We believe that Bryan is neart

heart of the American people.
He ought to be elected.
