witty comedy, and served to show John
Dillon at his best. Noticcableinth he cast

were all good, Ida May Blake and Eu-

Cuba Niblo, who AZ Uncle Jolly's bride
won all hearts. Her pretty. modest
WAYS beautiful facial expression, and

DEMOCRATS ELECT EVERY CoUN-

I The election last Tuesday de-
veloped many surprises. Cen
| eral apathy seemed to prevail in
THE Republican ranks. Scofeld
carried the county by 108 and
fthe Democratic candidates will
preside at the Court House for
two years, excepting in the office
|of County Clerk where John Rad
EcIif will hold forth, the Demo.
crafts making no nomination for
that office.
g The result ali around is not
Complementary TO the Republi-
cans ! majority of the votes
cast were Republican and the re
sultslaows that Republican votes
elected every Democratic nominee
for county office in the county.
It has been charged that the Re
publican caucus in Eagle River
and the Republican, County Con
ventiotl was managed by Demo
=crats and in the interest Of the
sDemocra &c Ticket. It is a mat
ter Of common knowledge that
at least two of the Eagle 1aiver
Delegates to the Republican
County Convention paro!lcd the
streets on election day soliciting
votes for the Democratic County
Ticket
We have nothing tosay against
the character, or qualifications
Of any Of the gentlemen who have
been elected to office in the county
but it is not good politics to sup
port for countv offices the candi-
dates Of the opposite political
party, especially where the quail
hcations and general fitness Of
the respective candidates are
equal and we are not willing to
admit that there are not to be
found IN the ranks Of the Repub-
lican party men equally as well
qualified for the several county
Offices as the gentlemen represen-
ting the Democratic party who
have been placed in Office in this
county by Republican votes.
Whoever knew Of an instance
where a majority Of the electors
III acounty were Democrats and
all ofthecounty Offices were given
to Republicans?
One ofthe results ofthis election
is that the representa- ton Of Villas
County III the State, Congress
sional, Senatorial and Assembly
conventions will be greatly re-
duced in 1900. Before that time
arrives, however, we predict that |
Republicans in the county will |
fully realize the effect this cam |
paign will have On the success oil
the party in the future.

Odd Items From Everywhere.

An elephant fell from car at New
Albany, Ind. and broke its leg. It's
sufferings were horrible, and it was
dozed with whiskey and opium to
keep it quiet while its leg was set.
The we'll in which hung "The Old
Oaken Bucket" is situated on the edge
of Marshfeld, only a short distance
from Scitua tie Centre, or from North
Scituate, in the Cape Cod part OF
Massachusetts.
The craze of sensation was never
more aptly illustrated than at Carlisle,
Pa, where nearly a thousand people
viewed the twin sons of P. A. Dick,
lying in one coffin, and 4o5 carriages
composed the funeral cortege.
A man died recently in a town not
far from Philadelphia, with the re-
markable record of having been in
iured twenty. FIVE times in railroad ac-
cidents. Some of his injuries were
very serious, yet he lived to a good
old age and died from natural causes.
Last week a woman of Bowling,
Ohio, dreamed that some goods stolen
from a store in the town in January,
had been hidden under haystack on
a neighboring farm. The next day
she went with a constable to the stack,
and found most of the stolen goods.

Short stories by Rudyard Kipling,
Rowland Z. Robinson, William Allen
White, Cutclife Hyne, and several
others. make McClure's Magazine for
August especially a fiction number.
In Mr.. Kipling's story we have new
and most diverting chapter in the
lives of those most ingenious and au-
dacious English school boys-Stalky,
Beetle, and McTurk. In Mr.. White
we have an account of the first real
passion OF our old friend, the King of
Boyville, Winfield Hammock Penning-
ton-familiarly known as Piggy. "
The other stories are no less charac-
teristic of their authors, and all are
interesting, cheerful, and wholesome,
affording diversion that is both nu-
tritious and palatable.

SchIey Cheers the Men Behind the
Guns for the Victory at Santiago.

A message of congratulation to
Commodore Schley for his victory
over Cervera was signalled to him
from Sampson flagship.
The men on the Brooklyn, Indiana
and other ships went mad with erthu-
siasm for their commander and cheer
ed themselves hoarse in his honor.
Then up spoke the gallant gentle
man himself:
THANK you, boys, but l didn't do
it. You are the boys who did it. Let
the officers cheer the crew."
And the officers did so with will.
And when that was over Schley called
out again: ITO the men behind the
guns" and the officers again paid
tribute to the jackies with all OF voice
that they could command.
Now, with this spirit anirnating OF
ficers and men there is not the slight.
est doubt that the feet will do deeds
worthy of Hull, Decatur and Farra.

Farmers Break the Buggy Monopoly

1t is claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance of the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other
states, SEARS, RoEBUoK q Co. of Chica-
go, have got the price of open bug
gies down to $16.50; Top Buggies,
22.75; Top Surries, $43.75 and upwards,
and they are shipping them in immense
numbers direct to farmers in every state.
They send an immense Buggy Catalogue
free, postpaid, to any one who asks for
it. This certainly is big victory for
the famers, but severe blow to the car
rage manufacturers and dealers. II

European women have craze for tat
tooing at the moment. They cause them
selves to be decorated with dragons, SER
penis, griffins and such things and call
the figures photographs. "
The queen of Greece is said to have
had her ankle tattooed with some small
figure, and Partisan woman, hearing
Of this, went her one better and had a
spider web tattooed on her shoulder
She claims to be delighted with the
result, for she says when in full dress
the photograph" gives her an air Of
mystery and attracts people to her
shoulder il not TO her side.
