PENNEY & ROBINSON,

there, but were crowded out, so that this democratic scrap has been permit ted by an unscrutable providence to interfere with the military operations against Spain. The question arises, Is it more important that "Soapy Smiths" should be elected or cast he sent against Spain without pajamas and comfort bags?
 There was not big attendance at the Fourth ward meeting. At half past eight o'clock emissaries were sent out to hunt up more democrats. The meeting was fnauy organized by the election of A. E. Cobb, chairman, and e. F. Leonard, secretary. It was soon over. The unorganized "Unwashed" made weak stand and twenty men were nominated as candidates for del egates. The following were elected: A. E. Cobb, Nick Sanders. c. F. Leon ard, Bud Gray, Andy Thoman, Pedro G. de Ia Lama, Ramon Cervera and e. F. Chapman All but two are "Soapy Smiths" Twenty-six votes were cast.
 The 'Soapy Smiths." in view of the uncertainty of the result of the pri- maries, with the chances against them are engaged in the elaboration of an idea presented by w. S. ,Tipton at the First ward primaries when he pro- posed that the delegates be selected by drawing names from a hat The "Soapies' are of the oplnIon that the primaries and even the convention itself might be dispensed with. They are in favor of the more direct and cheaper plan of shaking dice for the offices, poker or eastern dice, in which the ace counts anything. An objec- tion was raised that there were SC many candidates for the same office that the dice could not be made de- cisiye. This objection was readily overcome by pointing out that in shaking dice for the beer the high man always goes out By reversing the process and putting the low man out the contest would soon be narrowed down to two candidates and would i thus be quickly decided Sc if the "Unwashed' can be brought t0 agree to it the democratic politics in this county will be left to the arbitrd-nent of the dice box and the convention will he called off. Mi. Tipton. who is prominent educator and a gentle man of the strictest morals. never dreamed last Monday night that his innocent suggestion was capab9e o2 develoDment into such 2 oIesatic af4 fair of chance.

THE GEST FAMsEY.
A pitiful Sight at ths Court House
 Plaza.

If cne had been oppressed with joy and nerriment yesterday he could have found sudden relief if he was in> clined to sympathy, by visiting the court house plaza. There was a sad sight there, the wife and children of Thomas Gist, who is in jail held to the grand jury on a charge of stealing a COW. The Gists lived about two miles above Fort Mcdowell. They were as poor as it was possible to be- There was very little work to be obtained in that neighborhood and the Gist family, consisting of the father, mother and eight children, were brought to star vatlon. Glst then very naturally did what any man with a proper regard for his family would have done He had recourse to theft, and butchered a COW belonging to a man whose family was not so hungry as his was. He took no special pains to conceal his crime, so that when he was arrested last Friday there was abundant evil dence against him.
 He was given preliminary exami- natter on Monday and was held. His wife and children came to town yes terday morning, bringing all their be- longings with them tied up in a cou- pie nf not very large bundles. The eldest child is boy of IA, and the youngest babe of a year. They had no other place to go, so they went to the court house plaza. They were not very far from Gist, so they seemed in a measure contented. The children even took a pleased interest in theil surroundings and viewed the court house and Jail with some pride, for their father resided there. They were poorly and oddly dressed. The dress of one little girl was even fan tastic. It included the remnants ol several garments, but it was the best
 obtainable. What is to become oi this family is a perplexing problem.

MADE A MISTAKE.
MT Heff1ebower Sent a Hog Treatise
 to HorticulturistS.

Topeka, Kan., Aug. 10.-A laugha ble in- eident occurred at the meeting of the Shawnee County Horticulturists here to- day. State Treasurer Heff1ebower was on the program for a paper to be enti- tied What Know About Horticulture '' He was not present, but sent his manu- script, as President Smith supposed. in an envelope given him on his departure for the meeting place by the treasurer.
 On opening the letter to read to the as sembly it was found to be a pamphlet on the treatment of hog cholera and care of the hog generally. It had been handed the president of the society by mistake.
 When the members of the society called upon the treasurer to ascertain the cause of the mistake "Uncle Dave'' looked sur prised' for a moment and then said: 'I don't know anything about horticulture anyway. If you had asked me to tell what I know abou hogs or cattle it would have been different Now some of the members intimate that MT. Hef1ebower did not have his ''piece'' and sent the hog treatise for a joke.

Some critics complain that our reve-

produced than before? Because reve-
nues come onl y from imports; no i'm ports,
no tariff revenues. You and | are max

cur to you that no other nation spends so
much for taxes?
Some may say that we should not boast
of the greatness OF the nations taxes, for
taxes are something we hate to pay. That
was right in times past, when taxes meant
palaces for kings and hunger for the poor
er class. Then taxes were a burden: but
now they mean something elsa happ-

And another thing, the more learned
people become, the more they improve
their minds by study, and conversation,

us all. Therefore, reasonable hours of
work must be had.
We look after our wants and are requir-

we want is to see to it that we shall not
