Were Enjoyable Affairs.
Communicated. I
A company of thirty lady and gent,

A company of thirty lady and gentle
man friends of MI. and Mrs. Robert
Dent-the ladies predominating =
planned a surprise party for them last
Wednesday afternoon at their newly
built residence on Second street. The
guests were made so charmingly well
come by the hostess that the enjoy
ment of the occasion was at once as
sured, and all went merry and proved
agenial, old-fashioned house warming.
The beautiful interior of the house, so
hastily furnished, appears doubly at
tractive through the talent of the
hostess, whose artistic merit speaks
for itself in the many fine paintings
of her own handiWOrk which ha 10 so
thickly upon the walls. Wandering
about the rooms and inspecting the
fascinating sceneries aud flower fan
cies depicted, one could we'll muse,
'sThere are real artists in Water
town." At the appointed time the
ladies looked after the refreshments
and attended to the setting of the
tables, which, when completed with
UlIS l1lCS dlI dLS6lIGIU VI lIulUS, uOW6IS,
rich cakes and CONNECTIONS, lent a very
pretty effect. All being seated, the
ever-busy little kodak was brought
into use and a ''snap-shOtn taken for
the future e~difcatiOn of those present
and for an additional memory scene to
their home cabinets. An attendant
attraction OF the party was miss
Polly" who scratched her head with
a match and said it was ''a1l right
and bid the company ''goodby" before
they wanted to SO. Also the little
wild bird found wounded in the fields
by Mrs. Dent and brought home and
cared for, it now being adevoted com
panion and ever awaiting a friendly
crumb from its benefactress' hand.
Such are the rewards of kindly sympa-
thies! After refreshments and ''snap-
Shots" the mantle of night found the
guests amusing themselves with cards,
games, music, etc, a pleasing feature
being the song and recitation given
by Miss Oracle Dent and her little
friend. Now and then could be heard
the hum OF cOnversatiOn-frOm the
gentleman, Of course; the ladies never
falkland at last the happy day and
evening waned, the guests bidding
their genial host and hostess adieu, and
a mutual feeling of qualification over
the sssurprisen existing. II.

IF the American troops suffered
discomforts, ~privations and neglect
IN the recent campaigns against Spain,
what would have been their exper-
ienceif the Democrats in congress had
their way-In other words, if the Re-
publicans had not been able to over
come the opposition Of the Demo
Pops in the house to some of the
measures calculated to improve the
condition of the troops. This oppo-
sition was so notorious that Repre-
sentative Hay, a Democratic member
from Virginia, on May Is, felt called
upon to say: cit does seem to me TO
be a curious fact that no bill can be
reported here which looks to the real
defense of the country and to the real
purpose Of defeating the foe with
whom we are contending without ad-
verse criticisms being made, and, in
my humble Judgment, that sort OF
criticism which ought to have no
weight with the members Of the
house." These remarks can be found
or page 5611 of The Congressional
Record of May Is, 1898.

SENATOR PETTIGRBW, who bolted the
Republican party because it refused
to make itself the tool of a score or
more of wealthy silver miners OF the
West, has been compelled to suspend
the free-silver campaign in South Da-
kota because nobody turned out to
hear him. Senator Pettigrew says
"the campaign was begun too soon"
On the heels of this comes the an
nouncement that Senator Kyle, of
that state, has abandoned Populism
and free silver and has declared him
self a convert to the Republican
party, while H. l.. Loucks, one OF the
founders Of Populism and the author
Of the "Omaha PLATFORM" a man of
national reputation in politics, has
repudiated fusion and declared him
self out-and-out for the success of the
Republicans this fall. For a young
state, South Dakota is doing quite
well.

The perusal Of a leading article in
last weeks Palmyra Enterprise i'm
pels us to opine that Bro. Rood is
very much chagrined over his defeat
as candldatef orthe Republican nomi-
nation for clerk OF the courts; but we
heartily trust that, as he implies, his
hopes are merely 'deferred," not al
together blighted. Our good neigh
Dor should cheer up, take his defeat
more philosophically, and not lie
down after his first attempt at polit-
ical wire-pulling. The longer he re-
mains in politics the more he will
will learn about this strange bust
ness. Furthermore, he should not
accuse delegates of violating pledges
when there were none made. He in
sinuates that he was betrayed in the
house Of his friends, "the Watertown
delegation" Now, in truth, Bro.
Rood, did our fellows promise to
support you, or were you merely led
to suppose that they would? The
writer of this was a delegate to the
county convention and cen say that
perhaps no delegation went into that
convention with cleaner hands and
fewer promises than the one from
Waterfowl. So far AS clerk Of the
courts was concerned we had no par
ticular choice. Some of us voted for
Rood and some for Zimmerman.
Naturally enough, since John D. Bull
lock stood sponsor for the young
man, Zlmmer mann had followers in
the delegation. So far as we know,
Bro. Rood did not solicit any sup
port from WATERFOWL previous to
the convention. Perhaps he was
promised the nomination by some
leader and did not suppose votes
were necessary. Maybe he has learned
a lesson in the affairs of politics.
Many another good nan has found
himself in the same boat after the
votes we're counted. We hope Bro.
Rood's bright day may yet come, as
be certainly deserves it. He is a
young man OF excellent qualifications
and is publishing agood, live paper in
a place of small opportunities. We
trust that next time he seeks political
preferment he will branch out and
become better acquainted.
