POLLOCK IS ALL RIGHT
Chicago Inter ocean Says He is Their
Authorized Agent.

Some talk has been going the rounds
of the city for some time in regard to a
man named G.. D. Pollock, who was in
this city short time ago securing
subscriptions for the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and it was said that the people
who had ordered the paper from him
had been swindled, not only into TAX
ing the paper, but also into to paying
in advance for it.
One of the city papers copying a
story from the Racine papers openly
charge Pollock with crooked work in
this city. All these stories are false,
as this morning the newsdealers re-
ceived a communication from the Inter
Ocean management, saying that Pol
lock was all right and that every con-
tract he made would be faithfully
fulfilled by the paper. He was at that
time their authorized agent and still
remains in their employ. Pollock did
not collect any money whatever in this
city, but all the subscribers secured by
him were duly turned over to the
neWsdealers.

AN OAKLAND SPORT
Strikes Marietta, Ohio, and ''B urns Money"
Very Lavishly.

otEAhcs OiiOS anu 4tAObSy
Very Lavishly.
The Marietta, (Ohio) Daily Re
giSter of Nov. 5th has the following
to say of one of Garrett county's
eccentric citizens who recently re-
ceived from the estate of dead rela-
tive in England a considerable sum OF
money The person referred to is
Capt. NJ. NJ. D. Best The Register
says:
There has been in this city for
several days a medium-sized, middle
aged gentleman whose peculiar ac-
tons and lavish expenditure of money
have attracted much attention. He
seems to have an overwhelming desire
to be sport of the dead game vari-
ETY., and, so far nobody has had
chance to question his success in the
role.
He is stopping at the st. Cloud
Hotel, where he registers as NJ. M.
Best, of Oakland, Md. He has a
brother at Schultz, w. Va, whom he
is supposed to have come west to visit.
The gentleman's proclivities in the
way of dress run to elaborate floral
decorations and bright color. Ever
since he struck the town he has been
going from store to store, purchasing
neckties, handkerchiefs, mufflers and
the like, in the gaudiest patterns to
be obtained He buys flowers like a
millionaire and wears as many as he
can attach to his person. The bright
| colored muf1lers he ties around his
! loorc nd nd min hic onat tn
secure the best display.
Last evening he sat alone in state
in box at the Auditorium, gorgeous
in his muffler decorations and two
pairs of gloves. When he arose, as
he did many times, and posed for the
audience, they gave him an ovation.
! Mr.. Best's money is creased and APP
pears to come in large packages.
Five and ten-dollar bills get away
| from him with astonishing ease and
every one to whom he has taken a
| fancy has been forced to accept or re-
| fuse a remembrance in the shape of a
piece of long green At the hotel
| he presented pretty waitress with a
ten dollar bill for bringing him an ex-
ira cup of coffee. The clerk at the
hotel has also come in for several
substantial reminders OF the accentric
guests generosity.
1t is stated that Mr.. Best recently
came into a legacy from England
and has money to burn. 1t is evident
that he has matches with which to
burn it. He drives a handsome team
of black horses, with coachman, and
has taken his lady friends over the
hills and through the valleys.

As some of the Democratic lead.
ers seem inclined to make the ques-
ton Of territorial expansion a polit,
zeal issue, it now seems probable
that President Mckinley may fee
justified in holding the peace treaty
recently entered into with Spain
until the 4th of March, 1899, and
then submit it to the Senate Of the
Fiity-sixth Congress, for ratification
Under existing conditions this
would be very proper thing fol
him to do. The next Senate will Be
Republican, and by the terms Of the
treaty the Senate has until the 10th
Of June to ratify, and the next Sen
ate viii have ample time to take
action upon the matter.
