A HAPPY TIME.

The lola people, Mr.. and Mrs. A
w. Rowland, Mr.. and Mrs G. H. De.
Clute and Louise and Mrs. Fisher and
Miss Mamie must have had an ele.
CANT time on their California trip.
At Pasadena, Cali, Mr.. and Mrs. G..
M. Simpson showed them the sights
of that city by taking them all around
in a talyho and four. Il. II. Knight
and son Charlie gave grand recep-
ton in their honor, at which there
were present twenty-five lola people,
and the delightful time had by all
will be long remembered. They were
invited out to J. P. Boyd's ranch
where they were treated to sumptu-
Gus repast and were taken through
his orange and lemon orchard, which
is beautiful sight. They also called
upon the families of Judge" Arnold
and Capt. Sawyer. From Pasadena
they went to Tacoma, Wash, where
they found our old tOwnsman, A. j.
Clarke and wife. They stayed there
a whole week, fishing, digging CLAIMS
and taking rides on the bay and hav-
ing royal good time. By invitation
the party, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarke, went to Seattle, where
Frank Woodward and wife met them
at the train and took them out to a
beautiful park where they had pre-
viously prepared a picnic dinner.
They surely must have had a good
time for DeClute and Rowland chum
together like two boys that had
spent the Fourth of July with their
best girls. They will long remember
their trip and the courtesies received
at the hands of the formerly Of lola
people.

The trial of State VS.. Boland was
heard in Judge POtter's court last Fri
day morning. 1t seems as though
Geo. Fish and Geo. BOland had had
some hay dealings and Boland went
to the home of Fish to see about his
interests. They became angry over
some technicality in the agreement
and the lie was passed when BoIand
jumped out of his wagon and proceed
ed to belabOr Fish over the head with
a gOOd-sized stone, cutting six large
gashes in Fish's head, The trial re-
suited in BOland being bound over to
appear at the November term of court.

ciple and endorsed the Democratic
leaders from Jefferson to Bryan. Yet
hefavored fusion with the POpulists
to the end that they might secure
some of the offices.
The committee on resolutions made
the following report which was adopt
ed:
Resolved, by the Democracy of Allen county
/ in convention assembled that we affirm our al
legiance to the Democratic party and to its
principles as enunciated in the National con-
vention at Chicago, and to its peerless standard
bearer, VIM ]. Bryan, who will bear it in 1900
/ to victory.
Resolred, That we are steaGfastly in favor of
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /;
and as the act of making of money is an act of
sovereignty we repudiate the interference of any
other nation on earth. We denounce the Ding
ley tariff law, enacted at the dictation Of the
trusts. as the acme of organized plumber, avar-
ice and greed, designed to deprive labor of its
just earnings, concentrate the wealth of the
country into the hands of the few, and to reim-
burse the contributors to the Mark Hanna Nc
Kinley corruption fund.
ResOtUed, That we favor business admins
trstion of our county affairs, believing that the
business of the public should be transacted
with and on the same business principles that
are applied to business transactions
Resolved, That we pledge our earnest Undi-
vided, active and enthusiastic support to the
ticket this day nominated, and cordially invite
all, irrespective of party affiliations who believe
in honest administration of party affairs, to join
with us in our efforts to place the business of
Allen county on a non-psrtisan basis.
The convention proceeded to ballot

ran, of Humboldt, Myler, of lola, and

inatiOn was made unanimous.
d. b. Lardner, of Elsmore, was

THE MORAN FIRE.

Moran succeeded in having 8 big
fire at last. Sunday night the cry of
fire was heard and fire was discover
ed in the rear of g. w. Stevenson's
Department store, near the oil tanks.
The building was frame structure,
the fire spread rapidly and in a little
while the entire block was q mass of
raging flame. By hard and untiring
work the citizens of Moran kept the
fire from spreading to other blocks
and that took so much work that
comparatively nothing was taken
from the burning block. Those burn
ed out are as follows: NJ. Stricken,
bakery and restaurant w. F. Young
real estate; J. F. Willoughby, furni-
ture and undertaking G. w. Steven
son. department store; ]. r. Verdin,
hotel; StOddard & Young, millinery
+. NJ. Twineham, harness store w.
A. Ross, implements and grain. The
total loss is about $4,000 and the in
surance will amount in the aggregate
to about S11, 900. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but undoubtedly it was
the work of an incendiary at least all
the circumstances lead one to such
conclusions. The Moran people are
worked up to a high pitch and if
the guilty party is caught it will be
sad day for him. 1t is a terrible loss
to the beautiful little town.

rsry organization was affected by the

and l.. E. DeHaven, clerk. The chair
man made short speech announcing
his allegiance to the principles of the
Democratic party and insisted that
for the endorsement of those princi-
pies they had assembled in convention
to-day; but it was always good poll
cy, where they could not get all they
wanted to take what they could get,
and he hoped the convention would
endorse the agreement heretofore

which tho Democrats were to have
candidates for sheriff, treasurer and
county surveyor, aud the Populists
were to have county clerk, recorder
and coroner.

olutions reported as follows:
The Peoples party of Allen county in con-
vention assembled endorses the National and
state platforms of our psrty, and
ResOIUed. That we realize that continued and
general prosperity can't be brought about by
taxing the people and by fostering the trusts
and combines and by adopting the European
gold standard as proposed by the Republican
party.
Resolved, That we re-affirm our allegiance to
the principles of bi-metalism and declare for
the coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to 1. We
respectfully invite all men who believe in that
principle to go with us and assist in restoring
silver to its proper place as constitutional
money.
Resolved, That we pledge our earnest undi-
vided, active and enthusiastic support to the
ticket this day nominated. and cordially invite
all irrespective of party affiliations who believe
in an honest administration of county affairs to
join with us in our efforts to place the business
of Allen county on a non-partisan basis.
The convention proceeded to the
nomination of candidates, and Henry
Lambeth, of Marmaton, was nominal
ed for Register of Deeds. There was
some little trouble in finding a candi-
date for county clerk, but it was sug-
gested that Mr.. Wheaton, of lola, was
suitable man, and Mr.. Wheaton
giving his consent was unanimously
chosen. DR.. Fulton, of lola, was NOM
mated for coroner.
The con vention sent these nomina-
tiOns to the Democratic convention
and the nominees of that convention
were awaited and when received,
were ratified.

rus REs,srnArtns FEE.

Coupled witl the iseguIar Poll Tax It is
Causing Quite "a comnotion.
judging from tho talk heard on the
Ftreots and in the Offices there is great
and general kick against the PROPOSE.
tion 10 collect tho usual poll tax, in
addition to the registration fee of 81
which is provided for in the new Con-
stitution.
Property taxpayers are especially in
dignant, for the new order of things
requires them to pay three county taxes,
to say nothing of the city taxes imposed
ON those having property in the city.
They must pay their regular property
tax. which they have always been ac-
cuHtomed to doing, and which iB nat.
urally expected. With the property tax
they must pay the poll tax, which has
heretofore boan requisite for voting,
but which now has no Significance in
that direction. Then, il they desire to
vote, when il comes time to register

As far as can he learned. there is nc
objection to paying the poll tax, even

a regular thing and imposes no extra

But 1t ia different with the registra

WIID MAN IN 4 swAmr.
Delaware Farmers Exercised Over HIS Al
pearAnce and Acts.

pearAnce and Acts.
Townsend, July 20--An unknown
man, who is supposed TO be insane. ia
living wild in tha Blaekbird swamp
near Salem Church, short distance
from Townsend. lie has been seen by
several persons and although he alwaya
runs at their approach, the farmers in
the vicinity are afraid of him.
He very seldom comes out in day
time. hut he has been surprised by
farmers who happened to he passing
through the woods.
William Busteen, farmer, living
near Townsend, bad good look at the
man yesterday. He was passing through
tho woods when he heard a noise in
some bushes. He hau heard stories
about the wild man and thinking he
would get look at him approached the
thicket quietly.
Seated on log he saw man about
six feet tall with long, black halr and
whiskers. His face aud hands were
almost black with dirt.
His clothes were badly torn and one
leg was bare TO the knee The man was
picking chicken and eating the raw
flesh. Beside him lay large club and
several other fowls.
In attempting to get better look at
tho man, d stick broke under Bus
teens feet. This startled the wild
man, and with cry like that of wild
animal. he jumped to his feet and was
soon out of sight. People living in the
vicinity complain about raids on theil
truck patches and chicken houses.
