Captain Wise and General Lee.

Consul General Lee and Captain
John S. Wise were once rival candi-
dates for Governor of Virginia. AL
though they had no personal Difficult
ty, there was a GOODNESS between
them, growing out of the campaign,
and for years they have not spoken
to each other. Yesterday they met
at the White House, in the Presidents
office. Both smiled when they saw
each other approach. General Lee
extended his hand. "How are you,
Captain Wise" he said; don't you
think it is about time We had made
up?n what was our quarrel about,
anyhow" inquired Captain Wise, as
he cordially extended his hand, and
presently the former rivals were in
friendly conversation. The Presi-
dent was a pleased spectator of the
Observation-Disclosures Post, 10th.

TRUST MORTGAGE FILED,
*. Nj. HOar, of HOughton, in
Financial Straits.

The filing of Richard NJ. Hoar of a
trust mortgage to protect certain
creditors, which was done Monday
afternoon, was the principal topic
of conversation on both sides of
Portage Lake. While many busi-
ness men realized that Mr., Hoar has
been in financial straits some time,
few knew theeXtent of his liabilities
and to most persons the news came
as thunder clap out of a clear sky
The mortgage running to w. A.
Dunn as trustee is for little over
Sj9, 900, the security being the stocks
of merchandise in the Houghton and
Jacobsviile stores, and four-fifths
interest in lots ! land 3, section II,
53, 81, which are at the entry and
which the redstone upderlies, but
besides these were filed previously
to the main mortgage several chat
tel mortgages aggregating about
81. 900 on the stocks.
The creditors secured under these
mortgages are all local ones and the
obligations enumerated in the trust
mortgage are mainly notes endorsed
by business and other friends in
amounts of 81 900 to -, 600 and held
on discount at several of the county
banks.
The quarry at Jacobsville, which
is the main portion of the assets, is
an undeveloped property, as far as
being worked itself is concerned,
though the end of the stone in ad-
joining properties shows it to be in
all probability valuable. Much Of
Mr.. Hoar's S financial embarrassment
is attributed to the requirement of
this quarry property which he did
after becoming involved with the
original owner, Harvey Selden, hav-
ing to put in IA large sum in cash to
save what he already had in Had
the contract for the Wayne county
building come rcdstOne S way il
would have put Mr.. Hoar on easy
street. Few knew the vital interest
Mr.. Hoar had in the proceedings
leading up to the letting of that
contract, but when redstone was
beaten he did not show his disap-
pointment for he is man to keep a
stiff upper lip under all cir
cumstances. The outcome of the
matters in the trustee S hands de-
pends on the market there may be
for the quarry property. Certain
business firms, creditors, not in
cluded in either of the mortgages
are also to be reckoned on. --Calu-

Three Hundred Towns in Mis-

GREAT SUFFERING RESULTS
The Damage Caused by the
Water Cannot be Estimated.

GREENvILLE, Miss, April Ten
thousand people are homeless in the
flood districts, and three hundred
towns and cities are submerged.
Desolatiou reigns over this lovely
valley, and dismal waste of water
covers the country on every side

GUNNIsoN, Miss, April 1.-The
city stands tonight in four feet of
water as the result of break in the
Perthshirc levee. There is much
suffering among the poorer classes
here and at Rosedale. The refugees
are in state of misery and hunger
and the people are providing for
them the best they can, but the in
creasing number hourly arriving
makes the situation desperate.
New ORLEANS, April 1.-The
Louisiana lcvees are still intact, but
the strain on them is such that q
break is feared at any moment at
any point.

FOOD THAT MAN NEEDS.
A Wise Combination Necessary to
Keep the Body i'm Order.

Gas in the daily wear and tear of
life gread deal of the substance of
a man $ body is used up, it is alb
solutely necessary that the repair
to the body be carefully and sys-
tematically looked after, writes
Mrs. ST. Rorer in the April Ladies
Home Journal. Then. too, man
must create heat and force, accord
ing to the climate in which he lives
and the occupation he follows. A
wise combination of food is, there
fore, necessary to keep the body in
working order. In cold weather we
need q larger amount of ArbonaceouS
foods-fats, sugars and starches-
than we do in summer In the hot
climates and during the hot months
fruit and green vegetables, contain
ing the salts necessary to keep the
blood in good condition, should be
used freely According to our meth
od OF living in this country we should
take about two parts of repair food,
such as meat, eggs, milk, cheese, or,
the vegetable kingdom. the old peas,
beans and lentils, to three parts OF
carbonaceous food, such as white
bread, potatoes, rice, butter, cream
and fats of all kinds. Then we must
have "a certain amount of bulky or
watery vegetables, such as lettuce,
spinach, cabbage, onions, and also
the fruits. In making out daily
ration we should have at the begin
ming of the meal some light dish that
may be taken slowly, to prepare the
stomach for the food that is to fol-
low, then a meat or its equivalent.
with beef we should serve potatoes;
with mutton, rice. with chickens,
either rice or potatoes.

Under this vignette you will find
the names of the candidates for
whom it would be judicious act to
cast your ballot.
Our opponents are inclined to
fight the present local campaign on
national issues, and certainly the
Republicans have no occasion to
evade that kind Of contest. They
are ready to take it either way
Whenever the campaign turns
upon the personal character and
fitness of the candidates, we point
to men on our state ticket whose
natural qualifications and wide ex-
perience challenge comparison with
the candidates upon any other ticket.
Whenever the contest is made up
on national issues the Republican
party occupies the same ground
that it did last fall 1t won then by
a majority that staggered its OPP
ponents. Its triumph may be equal
ly decisive this spring with little
effort.
The spring campaign is usually a
quiet one, and this is no exception
to the rule. Our opponents are not
making much noise, but it will not
answer to presume that they are
going to stay at home on election
day. They want all the local offices
they can get, and can be depended
upon to make still hunt for votes
for the state ticket at the same
tine.
What the Republicans ought to
do, the very least they should per-
NIT themselves to do, is TO get out
a correspondingly large vote.
Don't let either indifference or
over confidence leave us with a ma
jority so small that it will be in
terpreted as an opposition triumph.
