Sheriff Wagner will not say anything
about the matter yet.

about the matter yet
There are some other men In the
court house who have a day Of reckon
ing coming. They are Democrats who
have held over under Republican Of
ficials and who declared that they were
with the Democratic ticket. They were
caught in acts OF treachery. 1t will
be no great matter to reach them, and
there is a general disposition among
Republicans and Democrats to run
things on political lines. 1t is clear to
Democrats and Republicans alike that
men cannot take favors from the OPP
party allegiance, and there is going to
be a clearing up that will be satisfac-
tory and no violation Of civil service.
They are still talking about the phe-
nomenal run made by John O'Connor
In the Fourth ward, and there were
many regrets expressed that the "big
fellow had not been given county
nomination. He could have won out
IT. a walk for anything, IL there is any
reason in the Fourth ward figures
There was plenty of chance for strong
men to go through, as was evidenced
in the run made by Wagner and
Miesen. and the personal popularity Of
Mr.. O'Connor would have counted for
a great deal. The ticket that was put
up by the Democrats in the county
was essentially strong in clean men,
but II needed men universally known.
as Mr.. O'Connor is. One OF the first
men TO congratulate Mr.. O'Connor was
the defeated candidate, Mr.. Henry
Johns.
They take off their hats to Ed Ba-
lille" said court house politician.
And they do. Bazille made a phe-
nomenal campaign. running even with
Rogers in the very reserved Seventh
ward-which is no credit TO the dis
cernment OF the Seventh ward voter
but a decided proof OF the fact that
Horace Bigeiow was to a certain eX-
tent right in the yellow dog remarks
Bazille did a lot OF work In the Sew
enth; Rogers did nothing at all. They
voted for the two of them on even
lines. In the First ward there were
some remarkable exhibitions OF stick
Ing 10 one line OF voting. In one pre-
clnct Lind got 1876 votes Eustis ~, Berg
196 and Hebnrichs AZ. Which is cutting
IL very close.

having in some miraculous manner passed the line of sentries, would sneak into tent. The light would go out, there would be a shriek, and before the suddenly awakened soldiers could seize their arms and grope their way out of the tent the assailant would be gone. And all that would be left to Indicate the visit would be a dead sol dier, a spear through his heart, stricken down in the midst of his comrades.
 This practice was so greatly feared that when we moved out of Suakim and started railway-making in the heart of the enemy's camp, the troops were actually forbidden to sleep in the tents at night In the daytime they were used as @ shelter from the sun, but at night no man was safe within tangle of cordage and canvas.
 The Australian contingent saw the tail end of one of the biggest engage ments which have occurred near Sua- kim, but fortunately for themselves, they arrived just two days too late for the heavy fighting. The affair at To- frik, when the Soudanese made a de- termined attack on MacNeilPs zareba, very nearly ended in a disaster Osman Digna, who commanded the Mahdi's troops in this region, sud- denly concentrated a large force on the British squares, but though one of the Indian regiments gave way for a time, the attack was eventually re- pulsed.
 The loss, however, was very heavy a large portion of the transport was cut to pieces by the enemy, and when we marched over the spot a week later. we had good reason to know that a battle had been fought there. If there is one smell in this earth which is worse than another it is that of a defunct camel. And when you take not only one but hundreds and hun dreds of the much deceased beasts, and scatter them along the track, you will realize the awful atmosphere we marched through. Worse still, it was not an uncommon thing to come across | a human arm or leg sticking bolt up- right out of the sand. Some poor fel- | low was hastily buried here, with but a thin layer of soil above his corpse. a l covering too light to secure rest for his remains. Another time, in some out of the way nullah or dry creek bed, we would step over corpses which had
 never been buried at all. and which would remain until they became as the | bones which whitened the plain all around.
 These things were not pleasant to look
 upon, but at the moment, so absorbed
 were we in our own occupations, we l missed the horror of it all. We were
 marching through burning sand, the | sun like a ball of fire overhead, to at | tack Osman Digna in his stronghold at | Tamaii to teach him that these vio- | lent assaults upon the British forces l could not be made with impunity.
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-30

General Graham, who was then in command, had determined to do the thing thoroughly, so he took out near ly all the troops at Suakim British. Australian and Indian. Some ten thou sand strong we marched in huge hol- low square, or rather oblong formation. but, if safe, it was weary work. We had to carry supplies of every kind, including water. with us, for the coun- try would yield nothing, and the cen ter of the square was a Seething mass of unruly transport animals. Camels, horses and mules, ambulance wagons and water carts, camp followers Of every nationality, were crowded to- gether. and our rate of progress was necessarily the rate of progress of the transport.
 We marched four deep, with fixed bayonets, on each side of the square, and every now and then would come the order to halt and face front It might be a threatened rush by the enemy, who were constantly lowering in the surrounding bush, or it might be only some unfortunate camel which had dropped it's load. As it meant sud- den death for either man or beast to fall behind the guarding fringe of rt- fes, the whole force had to halt until the mischief could be repaired.
 Thus it took us all day to reach Tamaii, a distance of fifteen or sixteen miles, and after all there was no pat tie. Osman Digna, wisely enough, con- strued discretion as the better part of ValOr and fled before our force could get at him. A few of his bravest war riorS, however, remained hidden be- hind the hills at the back of the little town, and as we approached Reming- ton bullets, fired from some invisible spot, came dropping from the skies among us.
 It was annoying, because we could see nothing to fire back at, and we were most anxious to prove our skill in rifle practice. But perhaps the man most annoyed stood right in front of l me. One of these mysterious drop ping bullets punctured a nice. clean
 hole through his right shoulder. l re- l member watching the red stain on his ! kharkee tunic where the bullet came | out and wondering what caused it. It ! was not until I saw the stain spreading 1 all over his back that I realized the ! man was wounded and then I think ! he realized the fact himself, for he | went off to the rear and provided the | ambulance corps with a little occcu- | patton.
 After this we burned some huts and | filled up some wells, and the battle was | over. I am sure we were all very glad, i for we had not the slightest desire to 1 be shot, nor did we wish to face a
 rush of the fanatical Hadendowas, i who are among the finest fighting
 men in the world and whose charge, as
 experience has often proved, can only
 be stopped by overpowering rife
 fire. J. F. ROSE-SOLEY.

dispatch from Guthrie, Okla, an

TOO MUCH EDUCATION.
DR.. Fowler Criticizes the Methodist
Church.

Indianapolis, Feb. 17.-Dr. Fowler, an
eastern man, who, in connection with
Rev. Joseph Smith, is holding a ten
days revival in the Central Avenue
Methodist church, read a paper before a
meeting of Methodist ministers of this
city this morning which stirred them up
remarka bly,. He charged that the church
is looking too much toward wealth, So
cial position, and paying too much at
tentiOn to education. He said that if
the Methodist church did not return to
the ways of their fathers it would soon
cease to be the church of the masses.
Most of the ministers had a shaft out
for DR.. Fowler before he had finished
his paper. DR.. Smith was given time to
express his views, and he stirred things
up worse than ever by declaring that a
ten days revival was all the average
church could stand, that being all the
semi-dressed choir and the average
preacher would submit to- Rev. Mr.
Biddle then declared that the effect of
REVEALS was not lasting, anyway. 9th
ers held that the church was practic-
ally supported by the upper ten, and
they are always ready to help the
church, and should not be harshly crit
icised. When the meeting closed all the
ministers surrounded newspaper men,
and begged that they be not quoted.
