Kenna's Little Romance.
Chicago Record.

| was told d curious story the
other day about the late Senator Ken
ma, Of West Virginia, whose statue
is to be placed In the capital in a few
days When be first came 80 Can
gress d MIS-. Kearon, who lived in the
same boarding house, persuaded him
to buy ticket in rattle at a church
fair for a cooking stove and a com
plete kitchen outfit. His ticket
turned out to be the lucky one, and
he sent the goods to his home in
West Virginia While he was arrang-
ing for their shipments at the rail
way station he was introduced to the
young woman who afterward became
his wife, and joculariy invited her
to become his cook. She replied that
she would be very glad to do so. The
next winter Mrs. Kearon sold Mr..
Kenna a ticket in another fair given
by the same church. This time the
prize was a plain gold rlug, and again
he was successful. He put the ring
carefully away until it was needed at
his wedding few months later, and
it so happened that his bride was the
first person to use the cook stove.
Mrs. Kenna is now postmistress at
Charleston, w. Va, and the Legis-
lature of that State has decided that
its representative in the gallery of
statues of statesmen at the capitol
shall be the man who won his we'd
ding ring and his kitchen furniture
at rattle.

IMPEACHMENT OF GOV. ATKINSON.
Some Wish Him Tried for Neglect of
of Duties-Remiss in the Chilten
Defalcati0n.

WHEELLNs, Dec. 30.-There has
been talk Of making efforts to procure
the impeachment of Governor George
". Atkinson en- charges of neglect of
his official duties, but the matter has
not assumed a tangible form, prob
ably on account Of the fact that il
cannot come up until there is a ses-
sion of the Legislature.
The proposition To convene d special
session of the Legislature early IN
January to consider proposed con
stitutienal amendments will very
likely be carried out, and in This
event impeachment proceedings may
then be begun.
Those who are working for the
Governors removal charge criminal
negligence in the matter Of collecting
the So, GEO shortage OF ex- Secretary
Of State w E. Chiffon. Governor
Atkinson does not seem to regard SER

desire his impeachment

With her seraph wings.

Than all Arabia breathes along the

The strangers gale watts home the
eXile's sigh
For The hearts temple is its own blue

SimOn'S Register.

During the year just closing the
register at Hotel Simon has bourne
the names Of considerable number
Of guests. The town is easy in first
place with 81, the county comes
next with 80, and the State comes in
at the tail Of the procession with
only I The hospitality dispensed
has been OF high degree OF excel
lence. Many buns after they have
tasted it will use no other as witness
Mr.. James Logan. However no es-
pecial pains have been taken to at
tract new trade from the town by
Simon He has his hands full
drumming up the state and county
trade Noimproyements to speak OF
has seen made and none are con
templated during the next year. But
no falling off in the registration is
expected on this account.
The reason for the popularity of
this resort must be sought else
where The ordinary rules do not
work indeed the cause is to be
found in the strange fact that when
persons are invited there they can
not resist the invitation provided ST
mon sees them first. Otherwise they
are sometimes able to decline the
extended kindness. Some very fine
sprinting records have been estab-
lished in the endeavor to decline the
pressing invitation extended by the
sheriff for his deputies.
notwithstanding those rebufs the
old reliable will continue to do bust
ness at the old stand and if any one
needs its hospitality everything will
be done to see that he gets it.

The Rirll; Of the .Greater2f NeW York.
With the dawn of the new year the
Greater" New York is usheged into
the world 4 full grown giant. The
problem Of municipal government in
this country is to be put to the SUI
premest test on the grandest scale.
Within its limits is contained a popu-
lation equal TO that of thirteen Of our
sovereign states at the last census,
and as large as that of the original
thirteen states when the union was
organized. Provisions for the life
and health of this vast multitude of
all nations and chimes is an unsolved
enigma, but proflting by the exper-
fence Of half century's success,
thousands OF sufferers in New York
and elsewhere can be wrested from
the grasp of that agoniZing complaint
rheumatism, by the timely and syste-
matte use of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which is, moreover, a preyenta-
tive of MALARIA and kidney trouble,
and sovereign curative of liver com
plant, constipation, dyspepsia, de-
bility, sick headache and nervous
ness. 1t is an admirable appetizer
and promoter Of sleep, hastens conva-
lescence, and counteracts the infrma-
ties of age.

An Excellent Ticket.
Editor DAILY New DOMINION.

Editor DAILY NEW DOMINION.
Since our ticket nominated at the
mass meeting has laid down on us at
a critical stage there is but one thing
to do and that is to name ia some
other way ticket to be voted for at
the coming election. The people are
completely at sea and do not under
stand the reasons that impelled the
candidates to the steps which they
have taken, but judging from the
tone of the cards which have been
published there is no use asking them
to reconsider their decision. Conse-
Quently we must look elsewhere for
candidates. Several gentlemen, af-
ter a consultation, have picked out
the following which they believe will
admit Of an excellent selection being
made from it. It is believed that the
gentlemen named will accept if elected
and it is known that they will make
an excellent set Of officials The
ticket Is rs follows:
FOR MAYOR.
WILLIAM MOORHEAD.
FOR RECORDER,
W. Il. ARNETT.
FOR COUNCIL,
W. ?. WILEY,
T. w. ANDERSON,
Z. e. HODGES,
D. II. COURTNEY,
JAMES 4. DAVIS,
T. A. HENNEN.
1t will be seen that one more than
enough has been named for council.
Others could have been named and
doubtless will be named, and it is
from such men as these that good
council can be selected.

In the Great Northwest.

A letter by the veteran newspaper
correspondent, 4. V. Smalley Of the
Chicago Times Herald, gives a clear
and incisive view of business condi-
tions in the great northwest. Speak
ing of trip from Chicago to Portland
he says; "Trade is everywhere i'm
proving-not much, but to a notice
able extent. The railroads report a
gain in receipts from freight but
none worth mentioning as yet in pas
senger earnings. Bank deposits are
increasing, Collections are easier.
People are paying little on their old
debts, carried along from the "boom'
times, There has everywhere been
great deal of liquidation and foreclos-
ure. For example, in Spokane four
teen of the largest business blocks
have passed into the ownership Of
Holland mortgage company
IAN solid industries are now doing
fairly well. Prices are low and profits
small, and close economies are every
whore practiced' The only field Of
speculative activity is in the new min
ing region of British Columbia, where
about Sl0,0oO,0G0 Of gold, silver and
copper have been dug out of the
mountain sides during the past year
The only city that shows new life
is Spokane, which is full Of people
and is proiiting largely as the supply
point for the new mines. Crop pros
poets in the entire spring-wheat belt
are remarkably good. II there are
no hot winds in July, the harvest in
Minnesota and the Dakotas will be
extraordinary,
"Tbe general feeling among the
people is that they are slowly climb
ing out of the deep rut OF depression,
by their own efforts, and that times
will soon be much better. The free
silver movement is still active, but
it is not as aggressive and intoleraut
as it used to be- My own opinion is
that the silver sentiment, outside of
the silver producing states, is destined
before 1900 to lapse into the purely
Populistic idea Of irredeemable gov
ernment paper money. From a dol
lar that costs fifty cents to make it
will slide down gradually to a dollar
that costs only fraction Of a cent for
ink, paper and printing"
The great northwest is evidently
getting down to business sense again.

The proposition to utilize Mr. Bryan
as a campaign orator in sundry states
and cities in the approaching cam
paign is q good one. Mr.. Bryan
visited 2S states as a campaign orator
during the recent presidential cam
paign and succeeded in carrying six
of them, five of them having from
time immemorial been Democratic
states. In all the large cities visited
by him the Republican vote was enor-
nous, and nearly every one of them
was carried by the Republicans, In
So large cities of the United States.
which in 1892 gave 1852 thousand
Democratic plurality, the Republican
plurality in 1896 was 464 thousand,
and most of these cities were visited
by Mr.. Bryan during the campaign
We hope our Democratic friends will
get Mr.. Bryan as frequently as posi-
hle. Indeed the Republicans could
well afford to help little in order to
advance the good work.
