dwelt on the unity of the church in all

of unity in organization. He said that

surance is connected, so that those de-
pendent upon him might not be thrown
on the charity of the world when the
hour of death comes. 1t is a duty a

Judge deIaer RenomInated.

Az will be seen by the report on the
first page OF this paper, A. O. I. Gel
ger was renominated for Judge Of this
district by the peoples party conven'
ton which was held in Oberlin last
Thursday. Some little opposition
was encountered, az owing to decis-
ion in a case growing out Of fire AT
Athena, two delegates from Norton
county failed TO vote for him on the
formal ballot. During the past four
years Judge GAiger has won the ad
miratiOn OK the great mass Of the peo-
pie OF the district by bis fair, impair
t,al, and honest ruling. Going on
the bench at a time when the great
proportion Of the bar was opposed to
him politically, he has by his decF =
ions won their respect, and person,
admiration. When election day rolls
around it will be found that party
ties will rest very lightly on dozens
of republicans, and his vote from the
opposition will be testimonial OF
the esteem in which be is personally
held. The republican papers of bis
home say;
- = Judge Geiger was fair in
his rulings and instruction, and 30
far az We could see or have heard,
the prosecution was not hampered or
hedRed about in the trials by any I'M
just rulings or decisions Of the court.
What may be said during the fall
campaign, we are wiling to 90 on
record now as saying Judge Gelger
is a gentleman on or of the bench, and
we believe he IS an honest judge."-

nontly fair in all the cases, though in
the Zwelgle case Judge Geiger was
somewhat embarrassed by the fact
that all parties TO the action were

Mr.. Ross never gave up the search
for his missing boy, whose abduction

world over.
In all the long years since, the
father, aided by members Of his
family, searched in vain to find bis

wealthy man, but he had rich rela-
tives, and money was spent like wa
ter to aid IN the search. But it was
all useless. ImpoSters sprAng up
from everywhere. Mr.. Ross was
called to all parts Of the country to
identify claimants, but was always
. doomed to disappointment.
