At these dinner parties, according to
Malone, though the wine and the dishes
were of the best, there seemed to be a
tacit agreement that mind should pre-
dominate over body. The table, we are
told, though set only for seven or eight,
often had to accommodate double that
number. There was usually deficiency
of knives, forks and glasses, and the
guests had to bawl for more supplies,

How Grant Ran.

In September, 1875, there was a re-
anton of the Army of the Cumberland
at Utica, n. Y, at which President
Grant, General Sherman, General
Hooker, General Slocum and Governor
Seymour were present.
Long and loud cries arose for Grant
Grant," who, slowly rising from his
chair, expressed his pleasure at being
with his friends, but his dislike at be-
ing asked to speak and his diffidence in
doing so.
"But there are those, he added dry
iy, pointing to Sherman and others,
"who are not troubled with any sort of
diffidence."
The three generals present made wit
ty, telling speeches, and then arose cries
for Seymour! SEYMOUR
The governor, who had been the de-
feated Democratic candidate against
Grant for the presidency in 1868, came
forward and said:\
II think have some soldierly traits
myself. At all events, General Grant,
you must acknowledge that in little
contest you and had few years ago
you ran great deal better and farther
than did"
This telling allusion to the presi-
Dental contest brought down the house.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

The republican county ticket COM
becoming more popular, we believe, as
the campaign proceeds. Woodward
for clerk is very popular. He is now
on his first term. Attorneys and those
having the most business with the
clerks Office say he is one of the best
clerks they ever knew. He thoroughly
knows the business of the Office and he
is perfectly straight. He is pleasant
and accommodating, and if ever first
term man deserved re erection because
of ability, experience AMI integrity, he
does
These same general remarks will
nearly all apply to M. n. Esbeck who
is on his first term us recorder. He is
a good penman, a good business man,
is accommodating and pleasant, and is
perfectly honorable and straightfOr-
ward. There is no reason i'll the world
why he should be turned down with
one term.
Mr.. Hanua who is running for county
attorney is an experienced lawyer, hay
ing been county attorney before and
having had long practice here. He is
abundantly able to be very competent
county attorney, and will bea most
excellent one if elected, which he surely
will be.
The two new men Oh the ticket are
Mr.. Greenwaldt and Mr.. Shingledecker
the former for auditor and the latter
for supervisor. Each is making a
favorable impression on the people AS
they are getting more acquainted. Mr..
Greenwaldt is very well qualified for
auditor by education and business eX-
perience Besides he is quick, apt and
accurate. He has the qualities needed
to be ii competent and popular official.
He is winning friends wherever he
goes. Mr.. Shingedecker is also well
qualified i'll every way for supervisor.
He is plain, modest man, but has ex-
cellent judgment and education and
will be az ideal member of the board.
Republicans owe duty to this
whole ticket. 1t is composed of most
excellent material The way to aid the
principles of the republican party is to
support its candidates. Democrats
will beseech you to vote for this or
that democrat. That would be helping

At What Age Is Man strongestf

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages Of
development and decline. Our physical
strength increases up to a certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the strength
of several thousands of people have been
made by means Of a dynamometer
strength measurer), and the following
are given as the average figures for the
white race:
The "lifting power" of youth of II
years is $50 pounds In his twentieth
year this increases to $40 pounds, and
in the thirtieth and thirty-first years it
reaches its height, $50 pounds At the
end of the thirty.fi first year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first
By the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at a slightly increasing rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not pos
sible to give statistics of the decline of
strength after the fiftieth year, as it
varies to large extent in different in
dividuals. Strand Magazine.

Some people have peculiar notions of
what is appropriate. Some time ago
a resident of neighboring town was
preaching at the Gladstone Jail and
prefaced his remarks by regretting the
small attendance. At race meeting
held at - band was engaged to play
appropriate music, and it was found
that the numbers selected were from
Moody and Sankey. $50 Bury Thy Sor-
row" was one of them, and the others
were all equally appropriate.
Christmas religious service was held
at the local Jail and hymns suitable to
the occasion were of course selected.
The first one was "Free From the Law,
Oh, Happy Condition" and the last,
"Well Never Leave This Safe Abode,
Refuge In the Time of Storm. % The
funny side of it all appealed to some of
the inmates, and the intended good eff

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by Il lady i'll this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle

sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all

THE GRAY MEETING.

The meeting at Gray Monday night
was the opening republican meeting in
the county this fall and it was decided
success. The weather was cold and
windy, the sky cloudy and the early even
ing very dark, but despite these disad-
vantages the town filled up with country
people who fiocked to the church and
completely filed it up by eight o'clock.
The boys at Gray have good martial
band which did good service on this &C.
casion. The martial band from Audi
bon composed of A. F. Drake, Robert
Ping and Mesner OFT was also there
with their excellent music. The decora-
tons of the church were most appro-
pirate and attractive. They were the
work of w. j. Lancelot.
The meeting was presided over by
A. F. Greenwaldt. John H. Mosier was
the first speaker. He spoke of the con
ditions Of the country two years ago, of
the promises of the two parties then
and of their predictions. and of present
financial conditions. His speech was
effective and well received.
Hon. Smith Mcpherson followed in a
speech of three quarters of an hour He
reviewed the principles of the two parties
on the financial question, examined
the economic conditions of the people
now and spoke at some length on the
attack the democrats are making on the
care of the sick soldiers. Mr.. McPher-
son is speaker of power. He impresses
his hearers with his sincerity. He pre-
sents his facts with great clearness and
his conclusions seem natural, bringing
conviction. He made many friends
while at Gray.

We have nothing against Gus Keith.
We respect his father and family. But
good citizens have right to protest
against his harsh statements
being used for partisan purposes
The captains manly letter shows Gus
or the Advocate, or both, to have de-
parted from the truth. Our people do
not believe our company and regimen
tai officers would act like Spaniards to-
ward their men.
Some democrats, the Advocate edi-
tor among them, since the democratic
state convention has given direction to
their attacks, are anxious TO traduce
our country's soldiery to accomplish II
poor partisan purpose. When this war
commenced democrats were anxious
to have a part i'll the patriotic service
and republicans welcomed them. Now
certain democratic leaders, less patrio-
tic, are abusing the service They
wanted credit for glory but wanted to
share no responsibility. Such action is
so small as to approach the contemr-
tible.
We presume the company and regi-
mental officers from Missouri against
whom Mr.. Keith complained were
democrats. Like II good soldier this
captain is ready to take his share of
responsibility.
