Chairman.

CHAIRMAN. Edward E. Grosscup,
Bridgeton.
Secretaries. DR.. Samuel Butcher, Com
mercial; Chas. K. Landis, Jr., Lands.
The latter gentleman did not act, and
Leader Iredell took his place by common
assent.
The report of the Committee was ac-
cepted without dissent, and Chairman
Powell said" Mr.. Grosscup you have been
elected Chairman of the County Conven-
tion. You will please come forward.n
Mr.. Grosscup arose and walked slowly
to the stand, and the first ripple of ap-
pianse broke out Mr.. Grosscup then
made speech. He spoke carefully. He
had evidently taken pains to prepare
what he wanted to say, and repeated it
correctly. He sounded the keynote of
the Democratic program. He began by
saying that he never dreamed that the
high honor of presiding over Democra-
tic Convention would fall upon him. He
appreciated it beyond expression. He
said if he had discovered any personal
ambition within his breast, that led him
to hope for this high honor, he would
have stified it. He declared he stood be.
fore the Convention the creature of no
combine. club or clique. Nobody stood
about him to make up his committees.
He deplored the fact that leaders are be-
coming more bold in their demands, and
prophesized that there would come a
time, some day, when the people will
arise in their might, and crush the bosses
beneath their heel. The lack of merit
and ability in candidates, heretofore
named, was due to the fact that the bosses
knocked down men of ability, because
they could not be handled by them.
Evidently the Chairman thought it
time for Democracy to break away from
the bosses. Without doubt Mr.. Gross
cup was calling upon Democracy to break
away from the bossism of Billy Thomp-
son, Allen McDermott, and the lesser self
assumed bosses, who ruined the Demo-
cratic party with the foisting upon the
people the iniquitious license commits
sion.
Continuing the Chairman declared
that he was of the opinion that the people
Oh OAOCtiOtl WOulll d QOS0
of bitter medicine to these bosses, if the
right sort of candidates were named. He
believed that this fall there would be a
victory, not for the Democratic party, but
for the people.
Committees then reported. B. F.
Hires, for the Credential Committee, said
that all precincts were represented ex-
cepting Greenwich and Stoe Creek.
w. G. Hendee, for the Committee on
Rules. reported an amendment to Section
IL of the rules, so that in the future the
Chairman of the Convention would be
Chairman ex.officio of the Executive
Committee.
DIR. G. G. Phillips, whose white hair and
whiskers indicate long service in the De-
mocracy, then read the Resolutions. They
were evidently drawn as a vote catcher.
First they approved the principles of
Democracy as set forth in the National
Convention, held in Chicago, in 1896,

IREDELL AND BARTLETT.
Ahe Convention Was One of the Tamest
Ever Held in Old Cumberland


County.
The Democratic Convention for Cum
berland is history. Its events can now
be recorded. Nothing stirring, nothing
sensational, nothing encouraging. Just
a plain, every day sort of gathering of
few men who still endeavor to cling to
the old Democratic organization and keep
the party together in the hope of better
days.
1t was some time after the hour for
calling the Convention together when
Samuel Iredell, the Democracy's leader,
gazed through his rimless eye glasses,
made up his mind that about all the dele
gates who had taken the trouble to come
to Bridgeton had struggled into the Court
House, nodded his head to temporary
chairman, Joseph Powell, and said 'sLet
Ter CO."
Faithful to his chief, Mr.. Powell i'm
mediately proceeded to let Ter go, snap
ping the gavel couple of times and say
ing, "The Convention will please come to
order. Will the six Vice Presidents
elected this morning come forward and
take seats on the platform" With the
exception of Timothy Campbell all the
gentlemen filed up on the bench usually
occupied by the Judges.
The Committee on Permanent Organi-
zation was handed up to Chairman
Powell. He started to read it and after a
struggle handed it back to Secretary Mar
Gus Fry, and the following officers were
named as permanent officers:

WHERE'S GRRENHALGH?
That There Is Woman Connected With
the Case is False.

That There Is a Woman Connected With
the Case is False.
AS suddenly and as mysteriously as if
swallowed up by the earth, did John
Greenhalgh disappear from public view
Sunday.
Greenhalgh has been in TIE employ of
Custer d Richards for some time, and
Saturday night he took the keys of the
store as usual and went home. He car
ried the keys of the store and also to the
stable at Evans livery.
Sunday he left the keys at the Office
Of Mr.. Evans and left. He has not been
seen since. 1t is said that he left on the
w. j. d S. R. r. train Sunday. A
young men was with him carrying grip,
which he deposited on the train.
There seems to be little bit of gossip
connected with the disappearance of John
Greenhalgh. 1t is said there is woman
in the case, which was the prime cause of
his sudden disappearance.
Gossipers have it that for some time he
has been paying little more attention
to the wife of his step-son than the marital
laws allow, and that she left Bridgeton
Saturday for visit to Glassboro, but
ostensibly for the purpose of meeting
him Sunday.
This story is spoiled by the following.
which the edaughter-in-lawh handed us on
morning for publication:
"The attractive young wife of John
Greenhalgh's stepson, whom it was stated
had gone to Glassboro, wishes it to be
understood that she is still at her fathers
home, on Church street, and has been for
the past week, not leaving it until Sun
day, when she went out with her father.
She would have remained with her
husband, had things been made agree
able for her, but as they were not, her
parents expressed their desire for her to
return home, which she did"
On Sunday, before leaving town,
Greenhalgh wrote personal, and gave
it to friend. to have inserted in the
papers, that John Greenhalgh had left
Bridgeton for trip to California"
After Her Husband.
Mrs. John Greenhalgh is in Philadel-
phia thinking she will find her husband
there. The woman is nearly hysterical
over the disappearance of her husband.
She went to Philadelphia on Monday
accompanied by Mr.. Custer and visited
Mr.. Greenhalgh's brother in that city.
but her husband had not been there
although it was the opinion of his brother
that he would be there before he went
west if he intended to go at all. Mr.
Greenhalgh is waiting for him.

visiting Cards Made of Iron.

Among the curious uses to which iron
has been placed is that of visiting cards.
Many great iron manufacturers have
had the metal rolled in sheets so thin
that it has been successfully employed
for this social use. 1t is interesting to
know that the cards of Count Bernard
are one-thousandth part of an inch
thick; those of Baron Krupp one
Northumberland of an inch,
and Count Harrach's one-six-hundred-
and-fortieth part of an inch.

THREATENED WITH DEATH.

Strange Persecution which Follows y
Household Residing In Elwood.
The death of DR.. W. FL. Ebert, the
prominent Seventh-Day Adventist, near
Elwood, Ind, and his funeral recall to
mind some very sensational occurrences
of q year ago, and it is believed by many
that the lives of the family left behind
are not safe In that place. Some one
unknown to the family several months
age began to plan to kill them. and sew
eral times the well at the house was
poisoned and the family only escaped
death by the most constant watchful-
ness. Stock was killed and poisoned
and at last they found note under the
door one morning threatening to kill
the little granddaughter, who resided
with the aged couple, snd saying that
she would be killed if the house had to
be burned down over their heads. In q
few nights the barn was burned and
the stock narrowly escaped death as a
result. Following that there was an
other note found threatening all kinds
of desperate things and saying that it
was only a question of time until the
granddaughter would be killed, and
the whole family with her. The family
took all precautions and got guns.
Neighbors assisted in keeping watch,
and this was kept up for months, until,
nothing having occurred, it was grad
ually relaxed, and for some time moth
ing has happened. The family fear
now that the doctor is dead that their
old enemy will begin to annoy them
again, and their friends are alarmed for
their safety.

DOG SWALLOWS DIAMONDS.
Actress Fails to Get Present on Time
and a Lawsuit Results.

Actress Fails to Get n Present on Time
and a Lawsuit Results.
'Nixie," Jeweler Reiman's pet dog,
is now going to bring his former owner
into court. The dog recently became
famous by swallowing three diamonds
at his masters Broadway store in New
York city. Mike died after swallowing
the gems, and his body is now in the
hands of a taxidermist for stufing.
Incidentally the diamonds were taken
out of the body and returned to Mr..
Reiman.' Now a court will be called
upon to decide whether the fact that
the dog swallowed three diamonds is
sufficient reason for delay in the de-
livery of goods.
About two weeks ago Col. Boykin
Ford, of Atlanta, Ga, ordered from Mr..
Reiman tiara which was to cost $10,'
600. The tiara was to have been ready
for delivery on Saturday, December 10.
1t was while Mr.. Reiman was working
on this tiara that the dog swallowed
three of the diamonds belonging to it.
This caused the delay, and the jewels
were not delivered until the following
Monday. For this reason Col. Ford re-
fused to pay $4,000, but is willing to
pay half.
He says the tiara was to be present
to Miss Louise Beaudet, the actress,
upon her birthday, which was on De-
cember 10. The colonel argues that in
asmuch as it was first delivered on De-
cember 81, two days after her birthday,
its value to him was only one-half of
what it would have been. The jeweler
has commenced suit against Col. Ford
for the full $4,000.

BRAN A SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.

People of South Dakota Scheming to De-
feat the Trust.
Because Of the excessive rates charged
for coal, various schemes are concocted
thru llghout the state of South Dakota
to secure some sort of a substitute for
coal. The roller mill at Kimball, that
state, is doing it's share toward beat
ing the coal trust, bran instead of coal
being utilized for fuel. AS it would be
impossible to feed the furnace in the
ordinary way without endless toll, En-
gineer Perkins invented an ingenious
contrivance that feeds the bran to the
fire-box automatically. The contriv-
ance holds the steam gauge to so pounds
for hours at time without regulating.

A few REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD
VOTE FOR
7. BJOHNSON
FOR CITY
uNDD STrDUND
FOR CITY
TREASURER.

II. B. Johnson as candidate for city
treasurer is not hypnotized by any
local combine, and is under no per-
sonal obligation to any corporation
syndicate.
It. B. Johnson as candidate for city
treasurer will not receive warrants,
due bills, time certificates, etc, that
have been paid by the city collector
as cash.
T. B. Johnson as city treasurer will
pay out city money only on legally is
sued warrants, and will pay them in
order as drawn, and will hold back
no payments when there is money in
the treasury to pay with.
T. b. johnson as city treasurer will
not pay warrants drawn for sundry
expenses out of the sinking fund,
which sacred fund has been set aside
to pay for bonds.
Il. b. Johnson as city treasurer will
not pay warrants for sundry expenses
out of funds set apart for specific pur-
poses.
T. b. Johnson as city treasurer will
have regular days or regular office
hours at the city hall for the purpose
of attending to the city business.
7. B. Johnson as city treasurer will
show no favoritism in the payments
of warrants drawn on the treasurer,
and will scrutinize carefully all war
ants for dummies, or dead men on
pay rolls.
Il. b. Johnson as city treasurer has
nothing to do with the making of the
city laws, but is in favor of trimming
down the salaries of the higher Off
Gals and pay the labOring men on our
streets, not less than $150 a day, and
that in cash; and he also believes in
every officer or employe doing full
days work, for full days pay.
T. Is. Johnson as city treasurer is in
favor of radical retrenchment in all
the city departments, even unto cut
ting his own salary if necessary.
II. B. Johnson is in favor of the
strict enforcement of all city con-
tracts.
T. B. Johnson, whether as candidate
or as city treasurer, will continue to
publish the Daily Light as a news
paper of the people and will advocate
issues that he honestly believes to be
right, and will defend nothing that
he knows to be wrong.
=
T. b. Johnson will discuss public
questions and not private character,
but he who throws mud at our glass
house may expect brick-bats in re-
turn.
He is also liberal in his ideas, and
opposed to all sumptuary legislation.
If you think II years long enough
for man to suck the public tit, and
want a change vote for T. B. Johnson
for city treasurer and don't forget to
scratch the opposing candidate. He
will count the cash and ask about the
missing sinking fund.

BIG HAT IN CHURCH.
It Fills the whole Universe for the Man
Behind 1t.

1t Fills the whole universe TOT inc MAN
Behind 1t.
This Is what happens to the man be-
hind the hat, says the Chicago Observer:
The preacher disappears until nothing
remains but voice. And with the hat
standing up against the spot where the
voice is, and the modulated sentences
breaking against it, how is attention
to be fixed upon the sermonr The
mind grows lax, the quiet and sweetness
of the sanctuary tend to distraction, the
hat fills the whole visible universe, and
involuntarily ones thoughts center
upon il.
ID is a wonderful construction. There
is a yellow rose trembling on a long
stem with every movement of the wear
er's head and one begins to calculate
the extent of its arc. There are punches
of feathers, disposed, apparently, with a
view to preventing anything from be-
ing seen between them whichever way
the hat is turned. And there are stall
actites Of ribbon, upright and immov-
able, which still further obscure the
horizon.
Occasionally one gets a momentary
glimpse OF the head of the preacher as
it is stretched out in gesticulation, but
it seems a mere detached fragment use
Iessly beating the air. The preacher
himself has disappeared as if he had
never been. The only thing visible
when the hat is turned for moment
is another hat of the same kind farther
on
