For county clerk

The Republican county commit

vacancy caused by the withdrawal
of Weisensee as County clerk Nc
Lain refused TO have 1T; neither
would Skete Miller or anyone then

ed and his pane filed in the GER
tifcate, be telegraphed to but pos
itivelv declined. Finally some one
proposed JOHN SCHUYLER of
Catharine. he not being in town.
The other candidates drove out on
Sunday to notify him, but he re-
fused to be made fool of and de
clined but came IN town Monday,
filed up with sweet promises by
the fellows who wanted to use hims
and against the advice of PeUer
Stab and his nelghbors, he accep
ted, and 80 hurried were they to
get bis certificate filed before he
changed his mind. the name of Gee
Leiserlng vas scratched out and
SehneIer's written in, Leisering's
Post Office address, Ellis, was left
in. Schueler's being oft off. And
as it was sworn to, i,.ise and lille
gal and could be thrown out, clerk
Bissing considered the whole thing
ridiculous. let it pass, certified the
name to the printer and let it go
on the ballot
The blank was ready for Charlie
johnson to withdraw For Comm1s
sloner and Ellsworth Croft was in
town to fill the vacancy but
neither the withdrawal or Johnson
came and his name goes on the
ballot.
John Schneler, the nominee for
county clerk is one of the russian
farmers who lives at Catharine, IS
a good farmer and very nice man,
but is entirely untitled for that Of
fee, knows nothing of Office work
or figures-we don't remember of
his ever being even Trustee of his
township. so knows nothing of the
assessors books, assessment valua
ton; and taxpayers and the As
ses -ors (most of the nominees be-
ing new men] should remember
that next spring is a complete new
assessment, including real estate,
and very important that it be cor
rect or you may suffer. Schuelar
don't know the first lick about it,
while Bissing has had two years of
it and Is sure to be correct.
Schueler is merely blind, eth
er being put up to use during the
campaign or by fellows who want
to get hand in the Office or be the
deputy. But there is NO show of
his election for the russians see the
game and few will vote for him,
and he Is unknown to the republi-
cans and few of those sensible tax
payers W II vote for an unknown

1t was only natural that the friends OF

injustice shown to their respective chiefs.
But 1t Is an unquestioned fact that the

Staying there few days. he paid visit
to Cienfuegos on business, returning a
brek later to the same hotel. That
night he called on a Cuban lady and gem

the hotel any better than before, and he
replied that he did not, whereupon she
said, Spanish fashion, Our house and
everything therein is at your disposal"
In his innocence and Ignorance of Span

the proposition and came the next day,
bag and baggage, staying there for two
weeks, much to the disgust and chagrin
of the man and wife. as, according to Gu
ban and Spanish customs, the man could
never leave the house and his wife and
guest alone. Consequently whenever he
had TO go to business his wife had to go,
too though he so arranged 1t that most OF
his business was brought to his house to
be attended to. Before his departure the
young man urged the hospitable couple 10
