What should be carefully considered
by the voters Of the Seventh judicial
circuit before casting their ballot for
judge, is the competency of the candi-
date and his disposition to discharge his
official duties impartially and rapidly.
These qualities Mr.. Wilson has in an
eminent degree, which can not be sue
cessfully gainsaid, while his opponent,
against whose character nothing may be
consistently said in disparagement, is
conceded to be lacking in knowledge OF
law, and experience that would fit him
for the judicial position he seeks. 1t is
of the utmost importance that the best
man be chosen for this important posi-.
tion, without reference to party af1ilia-
tion, and j1st and fair comparison
between the candidates cannot be other
wise than favorable to Mr.. Wilson, who
by thorough knowledge Of the law
and disposition to be prompt and
energetic in the disposition of all busi
ness affairs with which he is connected
is pre- eminently fitted for the discharge
of the important functions pertaining tC
the Office, and it is needless to say tha
the best interests of the circuit would b,
conserved by his election. The issue il
important, and worthy of sober anl
unbiased thought.

Chauncey,s Dream.

A good story is going the rounds to
the effect that about the time OF the
contest between MCGEE and c. l.. Wood
for the popnlist nomination for circuit
Judge, Chauncey told the following story
explanatory of the reason the populists
preferred Levi:
Chauncey said he had dream in
which he had passed to the other life"
and on arriving at good St. Peters gate
was refused admission because he was a
lawyer and no lawyers were admitted.
Chauncey demurred but his demurrer
was overruled and he was turning sadly
away with last look through the gates
when he saw Levi on the inside. He
at once demanded new hearing on the
ground that his populist opponent was
already admitted, but st. Peter over
ruled his motion with the remark.

couldn't even find grounds for an ap-
peal.-Rapid Republican.

The marked improvement in the

addition to its 20 page Sunday issue,

wise than highly pleasing to Its Dumer.

that paper, ll2 columns of additional

the head Of the list Of the metropolitan

The Bee is deserving Of the highest
commentator for its course in the ad-

A Former Custer Expert Chosen.

A recent issue Of the Clarinda, Iowa,
Herald contains mention of scheme
| devised by certain residents Of that
place, whereby it is expected TO resp
rich results from the discovery and
utilization Of the gold bearing quartz
veins that are supposed to exist in the
Klondike region, which thus far lie un
disturbed beneath the moss covered
surface Of that far away country, await
ing the attention Of the rock sharp TO
find and cause them to yield up their
now hidden treasures for the benefit Of
mankind. The plan is to send an ex-
pert quartz mining man to that country
with sufficient capital to meet all ex-
penses required in two years search
for the hidden veins, which the promo
tors of the scheme estimate at $4,000.
The ten men forming the company
share equal in the expense and profits
resulting, and they will also pay all liv-
ing expenses of the experts family
during the two wears OF his absence.
The mention is rendered more inter
esting to our local readers by reason of
the fact that the expert chosen for this
golden mission is none other than, o.
Il. Ebey, a former resident, and well
known by large majority Of the citi-
zens Of this place, who, that paper
states, is an experienced miner who at
one time held the position of Mine
Inspector for the State Of South Dakota.
and further, that he can readily distin
guish qnartz Of any metal and tell from
what part of the Union il came. The
paper further states that four or fve Of
the younger members of the company
will be ready 70 60 to Klondike next
year, in case Mr.. Ebey finds gold and
needs some help.
Mr.. Ebey's Custer friends will wish
him the highest degree of success, while
they will continue to scratch their heads
and wonder when he served as State
Mine Inspector, and how he is able to
determine from the appearance of
piece of quartz rock the exact locality

1t is certainly apparent to any in
telligent person, says the Hot Springs
Star, that circuit Judge who is quick
and thoroughly qualified to dispatch
business will be great saving to tax
payers. Aside from his competency as
a lawyer and skilled parliamentarian
Mr.. Wilson has happy faculty of
crowding business, and without the least
ofTense or annoyance to those over
when he may be presiding. This quail
fication in him We rscollect created
much favorable comment when Mr..
Wilson was serving as president pro
tempore Of the state senate in 1895. He
was quick, fair and impartial. and
scarcely without their knowledge the
senators would themselves be making
every effort to expedite business. This
writer is aware Of these facts because he
was present and knows how much
favorable comment there was at the
time regarding Mr.. Wilson's tact and
ability to crowd work with such salts.
faction to all. The taxpayers are in
terested in having such man for Judge
for it means a saving of large sum Oh
money at each session of the court--and
court expenses have always been one ol
the heaviest burdens upon the tax'
payers. On the other hand elect mar
who is not thoroughly up to date in
court practice, and who has not the

the additional expense Of the terms o

The free silyerites last year made
sundry bold statements about a con.
tracted currency; that there was not
enough money in the country with
which to do business, and that the only
way out of it was by the adoption of the
free-and unlimited coinage scheme. This
would fix things up all right, but unless
adopted, many terrible things would
happen; wheat would drop to 25 cents
bushel, mortgages would be foreclosed
men could find no employment, and a
general gloom would settle over the
country. snch as had never been seen
ever, that the free coinage proposition
was not adopted by the voters Of the
country. and yet in spite of this fact the
circulation Of thecountry within a year
has increased nearly 100000. 900, wheat
has gone up to the dollar mark mort
cages are being rapidly paid off, men
are employed everywhere, and the only
gloom observable in the country comes
from the factory smoke.
