Commended to Kipling's Notice.

Another curious bubble very difficult
for q plain soldier to understand Is the fol-
lowing: A color sergeant had the misfor-
tune a few months prior to the expiry OF
81 years service to be reduced to sergeant.
For the requisite number of years he had
held the rank emitting him to a color
serReant's pension. He made inquiries a.
to how the reduction affected his pension,
and, to his dismay, was informed that, az
he would leave the service with but the
rank Of sergeant, he would not be entitled
to a color sergeant's pension, and as he
would be sergeant only for a few months
prior to discharge he could not have a
sergeant's pension. It was deliberately
pointed out that to earn a sergeant's pen.
sion a soldier had to hold the rank Of SER
geant for ten consecutive years. This man
had held a higher rank for many more
years than that, but there was the regula.
ton in black and white. One thing alone
was left for the miserable man to do. He
went out and drowned his sorrow in drink,
was reduced to corporal and after serving
81 years and distinguishing himself in two
campaigns he left tho service with a PEN
sion of eightpence a day--not the pension
Of a private. To-day.

Klondike Almost Forgotten.

This is the busy season in the klon-
dixie gold fields. Fortunes are being dug
up every week, but nothing is said in
the newspapers. There is a war on
hand, and every other subject is Tor
gotten. In like manner men and women
drop out of sight when they lose their
health. The general cause OF sickness
is in the stomach. From there it
branches out. To remove the cause
Hostetter's Stomach BitterS is the best
remedy. The weaknesses of women are
cured by it. 1t gives strength to 10Th
sexes. 1t invigorates and lmparts
vitality. 1t steadics the nerves n
brings refreshing sleep. For those
whose health is run down nothing
equals it. Take Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters if you want to regain it.

The Spaniard threw out his chest

At any rate, he said, you will admit
that the Spanish know how to die.
And they readily agreed with him,

Mia and Matanzas readily bearing him
out in such an assertion.

The Free Press is DESTROYS that the
voters of the county shall not lack IN
information as to the general worth OF
the goodly number of gentlemen VINO
will come before the Republican county
convention on the 23rd inst. asking for
recognition, and at the expense of 40
small amount of space it places before
it's readers an impartial list and personal
reference to such of the candidates as
have come prominently into the present
canvass, and who are now hustllng to
secure the coveted prizes.
This paper desires to make 1t plain TO
all that the Free Press has no candidate
for a single place to be filled. From
time to time it has made mention OF the
various gentlemen who desire to serve
the county in official ways, as their
candidates. have become known, and
it can support with pleasure any OF the
gentlemen whom the convention may
see proper to choose. In the prellmln-
airy contest now rapidly drawing TO a
close, the Republican party has an OPP
portunity to select from large list OF
names a county and legislative ticket
that will prove invincible at the polls
in November, and as all the gentlemen
who are out as candidates are capable
the choice of delegates will more largely
depend upon personal acquaintance and
friendship than otherwise.

made up of a large field of splendid

list can be picked as winners, there
must necessarily be some disappoint-

NELS NYQUIST,
of LeRay, is known to the people of the
county as the present member of the
house. His service of one term especi-
ally qualities him to serve the interests
of the county and state if chosen to
succeed himself. Mr.. Nyquist possesses
an important and commendable ele,
ment in his makeup, and that is that he
is strictly honest and reliable and

used by legislative lobbyists to corrupt

Mr.. Benz. Bangerter, Jr., is also serv-

many excellent officers that preceded
him in the Office, none have been more
painstaking or popular that he. The
Republicans will accord him re-nom-

Here, also, is a case of rewarding a
faithful servant without opposition.
During the past two years Mr.. Thos.
Hughes has many times demonstrated
his fitness for the Office of county at
torney, and it is wholly fitting that he
should be rewarded with a nomination
by reclamation. Under his guidance,
the affairs of the county have been
promptly and properly looked after and
will continue to be for the next two
years.
