THE SECOND GAME.
Judy Brothers of Winters VS.. the G.
p. Natf1anS of This CITY.

The second game of the Examiner
Tournament series will be played to-
morrow afternoon, the contending mines
being the Judy Brothers of Winters
and the Charles p. Nathans of Sacra-
mento. Each club has lost one game,
and the club losing next Sunday drops
from the race, SO they will have to put
up their best game to keep in the tour
nament..
The Nathan and Winters clubs are
very evenly matched, and should
play a fine game The Nathans have
been reorganized since their last game
in this city and as now constituted are
a much better club. The Winters team,
which is a picked nine of Yolo County,
has been defeated by but one club, the
Gilt Edges of Sacramento, and have
won all their other games, including
one from the Corkers of this city. The
game will be played at Oak Park and
will be called at 2 p. m. sharp.

sheriff he almost invariably got what
he went after and once in tow the
criminal did not get away by any
means whatever, but was turned over
to the proper official or released by
legal orders. He was one of the most
pruoent, yet yigilant sheriffs, and
most popular officer the county has
ever had. Mr.. Courtney is an old SOL

For Coroner
Joshua Croft is the old reliable stand

unanimously declared him their
choice for this position for several
terms. Although the fees of the
office are very small and there is no
contention for the place, yet it is one
of the most important county offices.

from farming and stock raising, Mr..
Hinshaw is often called to work at
his trade and has the reputation of
being the best plasterer in the
country. He was elected last year to

one year of perplexing. and rather
stormy experience, through which he
has shown himself a careful, conser-
vative guardian of county interests.
Our Candidates
Are all men of ability and stability.
That they do not regard the county
as a place to get office is proven by
their staying qualities. That they
are competent has been proven by the
experience of their eighbOrS, who
are ready to promote them to higher
positions or re-elect them to the
same. They were each nominated by
reclamation in a convention which
was remarkable for its fairness and
the harmony of its proceedings. They
are worthy of the support of all voters
regardless of party. They will be
elected.

$500 bushels of wheat, or the product
of a 10O-acre farm, even in this year
of good yields and good prices, to
raise this sum. Last year, when the
author of the speech was a candidate
for president, with the threatened,
although remote, prospect of election,
it took 1900 bushels to bring that
much money. Several questions arise
in this connection: Has the value of
the speech, measured in wheat, gone
down, or has the value of wheat gone

different wheat, to be sure If the
famine in India has raised the price
of wheat, measured in speech,
what appetite appeased has lower
ed the value of the speech when
measured in wheat? If the law of
supply and demand was imperative
last year, when its very existence was
ignored or even denied by Populist
speakers, when did it resume bust
ness? For several years they derided
the idea that an over-productiOn
could be responsible for low prices 50

to eat. Now that famine actually
exists in one quarter or the globe,
while good crops, good prices and
prosperity prevail in another. starva-

law of supply and demand has been
recognized as Il potent factor in de-
termining values, Mrs. Lease should
revise her famous apothegm and make
it read. more wheat and less hades,"
in order to restore an equilibrium of
prices because the latter product is at
a discount this year, while the former
is higher than it has been at any time
since she first advocated her corn

Meanwhile Mr.. Bryan. who only Il
few months ago said that no man
could legitimately earn 1000 per per

extracting thousands of dollars from
them day by day. Thus the rich grow
richer and the poor poorer. Mckin-
ley prices will enable the latter to
stand it for awhile and should adver-
sity again overtake them another
champion will rise up and lead
them through a new .'First Battle"

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

have placed in the field for the sup
port of the people is one for which
they have no need to make any apollo
gy. 1t is composed of men who were
early settlers of the county and
who have continuously resided here
and stood by Trego through thick and
thin. Each of them is a heavy tax
payer and property owner. Most of
them live on their farms and all with
but one exception own Trego county
farms. Each is competent to dis
charge the duties of the position for
which he has been nominated and will
receive the support, not only of his
party associates, but of many others.
For County Treasurer
we have nominated A. L. Gleason.
Mr.. Gleason has been a resident of the
county about fifteen years. He is now
and has been all this time engaged in
farming and stock-raising, being more
especially in the sheep industry. He
is a careful, conservative business
man, thoroughly competent, and will
make model treasurer. For
County Clerk
L. G. Johnson. who came to the coun-
ty in 1885, is the candidate. He has
been trustee of WaKeeney township
the past two years and in this posi-
tion he has discharged his duties with
careful fidelity to public interests and
with fairness to all. He lives on his
farm on Big creek, about three miles
south of this city, where by hard
work with his own unaided hands he
is building comfortable farm home
and improving the county to the ulti-
mate advantage of every resident in
it. Mr.. Johnson has had good COM
mon school and commercial college
education and will make good, COM
petent county clerk.
For Register of Deeds
9. HI. Benson, of Ogallah, received
the unanimous vote of the convention
which nominated him. He has lived
in the county about sixteen years and,
for a time, followed merchandising
and kept the postoffice at Ogallah.
For several years last past he has been
an actual farmer, not an agriculturist
by proxy. His election to the office
for which he is well qualified. is con-
ceded.
For County Surveyor
Republicans will vote for J. r. Will
son. regardless of the s'silver. ques-
tion. Mr.. Wilson has good educa-
tion and was at one time school
teacher. Not being satisfied with a
common school teachers certificate
he studied surveying and civil engi-
neering and is also good mechanic.
He came to TregO in 1879, was elected
county surveyor in 1885 and served
two years in that position with credit
to himself and with satisfaction to
others. Since then he has had a large
experience in railroad bridge building
and surveying, all of which makes
him especially competent to discharge
the duties of this Office in which ex-
perience is essential and for which
special preparation is necessary.
For Sheriff
Theodore Courtney, another old set
tier, has been nominated. He, too
has had experience in the Office to
which he again aspires. having been

ADVANCED METHODS
Of Prison Management as Viewed By
Attorney George M. Bennett
of Minneapolis.

AS the world grows and advances in
Intelligence, our views on all subjects
are broadened and deepened: public
thought and action relative to the care
and management of prisons and pris-
0ners are not exceptions to the rule.
We are growing rapidly into the
thought that, to a certain degree, soci-
ETY., with its imperfections. weaknesses,
vices and abuses, is chargeable in a
liberal degree for large percentage of
the crimes committed.
BY society | mean all of us, outside
of prison walls. Those inside are not
supposed to be in society. ''Men are
but children of larger growth, this
trite old saying is literally true. If we
were to care for, train and educate our
children in their early childhood and
youth, as carefully as we now attempt
20 care for, train and educate our pris-
oners, we would soon have little use
for prisons or prison management
The trouble is we begin at the wrong
end of the proposition.
But the fact remains that we have
use for prisons, and it is the manage
ment of both the prison and the pris-
oner in which we are now seriously
concerned.
We are rapidly growing into an
understanding that the prisoner is a
man like the rest of us, and in very
many cases, a very much better man in
prison where he is guarded against his
bad habits and has time to think, and
better than some of us outside. As
soon as the citizen gets his eyes open
to the fact that men in prison may be
educated and reformed and made good
citizens they are quite ready to ap-
prove anything that may be proposed

A MOTHERS PLIGHT.
A Pathetic Christmas Incident Where
Poverty Was King.

One of the big dry goods stores in
Milwaukee was thronged with buyers
on Christmas eve when forlorn look
ing woman was noticed in the act of
concealing few cheap toys under her
ragged shawl. A policeman was
called and covered with shame over
her disgrace the unfortunate creature
was taken to the nearest police station.
The sergeant in charge happened to
have heart in his bosom, and doubt
less inspired by the spirit of the hour,
he made some inquiries before book
ing the arrest and sending the prisoner
to cherries cell. The woman told
her story, her voice broken by frequent
sObS. She was a widow with three
children and earned meager living by
washing. Her earnings for the week
had not been sufficient to allow her to
buy any Christmas tokens for the ex-
pectant little ones, and, desperate at
the thought of breaking their little
hearts by coming home empty handed,
she had gone into the crowded store
and stolen few little trinkets to take
to them. Of course, she was self
confessed thief, but the police sergeant
had children of his own, and he
thought bit before putting her name
on the disgraceful record book. Then
he told the woman to go home and
sent an officer with her to verify her
story. It was all too true. The three
little ones we're found in a humble cot.

the last remnants of fuel in it, hungry
