THE JOURNAL Will treat any hocest
Republican with the utmost courtesy
whether he is on the ticket or not.
The Republican underground rail-
road is being worked for Judge Moore
for governor, and Claud Catch for
secretary or state.
The Statesman has great solicitude

fact it feels deeply for the whole
Peoples party.
E. E..McKinney has his warehouse
business all ready to go ahead again
on reduced basis and do as well as
he can under the beneficent influence
Of the gold standard.
Some people don't seem to know
what the Imperative mandate feature

The council couldn't rent the city
hall to the Y. M. G. A, because their
offer wouldn't put money in the treas
ury. But they rent it to the militia
mpanies, run the city in debt and
put the money into the pockets OF the
city hall grafters.

because it's song the American peo-
pie sing when they are dead in earn
est, and they were never more in earu-
est for reform than they are this year.
The Statesman calls Geo. B. Dim
ick the "bull candidate" Mr.. Dim
lex is an old Pioneer and has done a
great deal to develOpe the stock busi-
ness. He was formerly a member Of
the Prohibition party and originally a
Lincoln Republican. III the days Of
the Rebellion his house was a Union
headquarters, 1t may be unfoItu-
nate for himthat he has lost money in
trying to improve the stock interests
of the county, but it is no disgrace,
and the whole country got the bene-
tit of it. Old George Dimick is not a
perfumed dude, and to call him a
"bull candidate" is slap at honest
farmers from a supporter of "bull-
ringed politicians"

Adding to S4,771 OF the amount Of

parties representing S5l ,034 so makes
the company's liabilities aggregate
S55, ,805 50.
This company was incorporated in
March 1888, the principal incorpora-
tors being j. H. Minthorn, B, S.
Cook and q. B. Moores. The capital
stock was $4,000. The principal bus
mess engaged in was that of general
real estate. In the past few years
however, the company has purchased
and operated several fruit farms.
The company has also rendered
splendid and valuable service as a
means of colonizing the Willamette
valley with desirable eastern immi-
grants.
The estimation OF the COM
pany's assets is considered very
low and it is very probable that the
claims of all creditors will be paid 10
full. The management OF the con-
cern, concluding that it would only be
a matter of a short time until such a
move would be necessary to satisfy
the claims Of its creditors, decided tC
make the assignment at this time.

MAINS
CIRCUS
next WEEK,

Mains circus will erect its tents at
Middlebury Tues, Sept. 20. The
Associated Press dispatches of the 10Th
July, 1898, announced-and they are
authentic-that the Walter L. Main
show, was going to move to Canada and
make permanent headquarters there.
Regarding the shows magnitude, 1t is
as large as any on the Western Hemis-
phere to-day. In merit 1t is probably
better than any we have seen In years.
This may possibly be attributed to Mr..
Mains ambition to actually excel all pre-
vious shows, with view towards estab-
llshing trade mark In Canada that will
not be obliterated by any future circus.
While the menagerie department is not
the very biggest on earth, it comprises
over twenty-five dens and has In one
feature alone a greater novelty in the
baby elephant than any circus In the
world to- day.
