Business Men Are Trying to Defeat
the Boss.
DEPENDS ON THE CAUCUS
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS WILL
MEET TOMORROW NIGHT.
If Quay Can Get 12S Republicans to
Attend He Will Secure the Nom
ination-Congressman Dalzell and
Charles G. Tubbs Are His Oppon-
ents-Quay Managers Aggressive.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 1.-The general
assembly will open it's biennial session
at u o'clock Tuesday noon, in the new
capitol building. After the senate and
house have organized, Governor Hast
ings will send in his biennial message.
Lists of standing committees will hard
ly be ready to announce before the IN
auguration of Governor-elect stone on
Jan. II, so that the legislature Will not
get down to work in earnest before
February. There is a strong sentiment
among the legislators in favor OF
short session.
Both Democrats and Republicans
will caucus tomorrow evening for the
organization of the houses. The Re
publicans have Il majority OF "A on
Joint ballot, and naturally expect to
control both houses.
Senator Quay's friends have fixed
Tuesday evening for the senatorial eau
Gus, and the only question now Is
whether 12S Republicans will go into
the meeting. If they do, everybody ad-
mits that Quay will control major
ity, and that he will be nominated.
His opponents are making an effort to
keep enough members out of the con-
ference to prevent q nomination, and
if they can 60 this they expect to de-
feat the senator's reelection. Con-
gressman Dalzell of Pittsburg and
Charles C. Tubbs of Tioga are the other
avowed aspirants for the senatorial
nomination.
The fight against Quay is being di-
rected by E. A. Van Valkenburg. the
leading spirit of the Business Men's s
League. Republican workers are being
brought here from all over the state
to take a hand in the fight for United
States senator
The hotels are crowded tonight, and
by tomorrow will be filled to overflow
ing. The Quay managers are on the
aggressive, and are leaving nothing un-
done to make votes for their leader
The anti-Quayites are just as active,
but there are not near so many of
them, and their policy will be fully out
lined before tomorrow.

Democratic in both branches. Monday
the Democratic caucus will be held.
While it is not certain that the selec-
tion for United States senator will be
made at Mondays caucus, it is possi-
BILE, as there is no opposition to the re-
election of Senator w. B. Bate, and
there will be no opposition. The states
finances will occupy much of the time
of the session, as the floating debt
amounts to $S50,000. and there is
growing demand for its speedy retire
ment.

Foothills.
Especial to The Herald9

Boise, Ida, Jan. 1.-SoIdiers from Boise
barracks found the dead body of Arthur
H. Cook, a gambler, in the foothills east

mystery surrounding the death of Cook.
A coroner's jury tonight returned a ver-

known TO the jury. The generally accept
ed theory is suicide. Cook was the son
of Colonel Henry Cook of Vinita, Indian
Territory. a banker, and one of the best

Wants $4,000 Damages

Papers were served during the week
in damage suit brought against City
Marshal Geo. Rea, by Henry Goedy of
this city. The affair grew out of the ar
rest of Goedy few weeks ago upon the
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. In making the arrest the mar
shall used some force it was alleged and
Goedy received cut over one eye which
is the basis of the suit now started.
When the trial for the offense came up
in Justice Smiths court dismissal of
the charge against Goedy was entered on
account of some defect in the papers.
Atty. Cunningham of GAINESVILLE was
here to look after the interest of the
defendant, and after getting his client
discharged was employed to bring an
action against Marshal Rea. The price
of damages is set so high that the mar
shall will hardly settle outside of court
and probably Goedy would come down
some if he could be sure of getting the
money all in lump. Marshal Rea says
he is not losing any sleep on account of
the suit so far at least.

COUNTY CLERK STARR MARRIED.
Court House Officials Give Him a Reception


Frank P. Starr and Miss Naomie Bar
riage were united in marriage at Rock
ford, October Goth. The groom is county
clerk of Rock county and we'll known
throughout the county. The bride is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs George
Barriage of GAINESVILLE, and is highly es-
teemed. There being some question
about Mr.. STAIRS legal right to issue a
marriage license to himself, though the
proper officer under the law to execute
such papers, that he concluded the safest
thing to do was to go out of the state to
have the ceremony performed, and so
Rockford was selected.
When Clerk Starr arrived at his Office
Monday morning he found it quite elab-
orately decorated. The large silk flag
belonging to the county was hung up in
front of his desk and many yards of
white ribbon was used in the way of
decoration. The door knobs to the safe,
the telephone, looking glass, ink bottle,
letter scales and various other articles
were tied with neat bows of white ribbon
and marriage license hung from the
gas fixtures. No one has yet pleaded
guilty to the charge.

hall, and there meath the blue curls of
smoke, the gentlemen enjoyed very
social after dinner smoke and visit, while

quarter of century of married life seem

The Watch Thief Found.

Last week we gave an account of the
recovery of the watch taken from the
residence of Andrew Mcintosh August
18th, from the hands of Edw. Martin,
an innocent purchaser. Martin thought
he could identify the person who sold
him the time piece, and accompanied
officers to GAINESVILLE and Beloit in search
of him. At GAINESVILLE he selected Her
man Keeter as the person whom he
traded with and warrant was sworn
out for his arrest on the charge of burg
larry. Friday morning Sheriff Appleby
went to Keeter's home to arrest him and
found him still in bed, Keeter admits
that he was camping on the Page farm
near the river and of having disposed of
the stolen property to Martin, bnt de-
MES the charge of burglary, claiming
the watch was sold him by stranger in
GAINESVILLE. Deputy Sheriff Maltpress
brought Keeter up from GAINESVILLE and
he was taken before Justice Smith when
he waved an examination and was bound
over to the municipal court for trial
November 18th.
It is claimed at GAINESVILLE that Keeter
bears a good name in that city and his
friends claim he can clear himself of the
charge of burglary. 1t may however
bother him to satisfactorily explain how
he came by the watch that is known to
have been stolen.

Some people have a disposition to
cinch clear title to the earth and all it's
belongings. One of this sort visited
uncle Philip Smiths premises not long
since and carried away carriage whip
which Mr.. Smith had bought and paid
for. 1t was not avery valuable whip,
but it was the property of your uncle
Philip just the same, and he feels some

relieves him of his chattels without COM

to its owner within five days from the
date of this notice, there will be one
more traveller on his way to occupy
quarters at the county Jail.

AT TIE HHBAqERS,

Every season there are minstrel COM
ranies going out which think that all
that is necessary is to give the public a
gaudily dressed brass band and a large
parade of amateurs who can finish up an
evenings performance with a poorly
planned and worse executed programme.
But, having once fooled theater patrons,
they are ever shy of returning to these
towns and for the next season or two give
them a wide berth until their duplic!ty is
forgotten or submerged in that of a bet
ter organization. But, when Primrose &

tors. it is q guarantee of first class tall

to the most feeling words in
which the president Of the United States
has Just expressed not only his w gen.
erous recognition but that of the whole
American people, of your distinguished
services during the whole connection
with the United States navy. The country
knows On whom She may depend. The
record of the United States navy is I'M
surpassed in the history of the world and
of hat record we do not forget you are a
great part, not only the officers of the
deck, but also as the name has become
Familiarity endeared, the mar behind the
gun"
At the conclusion of Secretary Longs
speech the sailors ave three cheers for
the president and three for the secretary
of the navy. This was followed by the
ships yell:
"Who are we? Can't you see?
We are members of the new navee.
'Rah, 'rah, 'rah, Raleigh
This amused the president very much.
The president then shook hands with the
various officers of the cruiser and spoke
a pleasant word to each. Then with the
ladies of the party the president made an
inspection of the warship. He examined
the big gun on the starboard side which
spoke first at Manila, and displayed much
interest in all he saw. A general hand
shaking concluded the visit and the pres
idential party returned to the tug.
A flying visit was made to Cramps
shipbuilding yards, where the battleship
Alabama, in course of construction, was
inspected. Some surprise was expressed
at the agility displayed by Mr.. Mckinley
in climbing ladders and steps on the Ala
bama. AS the president was about to
descend from the upper deck of the bat
tleship he discovered that the steps were
very steep. Remarking that 'the best
way to get down is to back up he went
down backwards. The party returned to
the Hotel Bellevue shortly after 1 o'clock,
where they partook of luncheon and later
in the afternoon left for New York.

ONLY FOUR EXEMPT.

A Milwaukee boy has arrived at that
age when he no longer answers orders.
Among the other liberties his grandeur
has succeeded in wrenching from his
awed parents is exemption from rub
hers,' to which he has always had an
unconquerable antipathy. Of this great
victory he is. of course, most justly
proud, and takes delight in reminding his
younger sister, who hates to veal u b
bers as much as he. that she is still OBJ
liged to don them. Last week the first
storm of the season disturbed the domes-
tic tranquility. Some n happened to
pass the nursery door, and heard this re-
markable argument. 1t is likely to go
down the line as a clincher in political
debate:
Girls has got to wear rubbars,' the
tyrant was saying.

WELCOMED THE HEROES
Who Had Fought With DeWey--He
and Secretary Each Made Short
Addresses to the Sailors,

Philadelphia, April 2S.-The president
and his party boarded one of the navy
tugs this morning and as the boat moved
way from the pier the crowd on the
wharf set up a hearty cheer, While the
boats in the vicinity whistled a noisy well
come to the chief executive. The presl-
lent stood in the stern of the tug, leaning
on the arm of Admiral Casey, commando
ant of the League Island navy yard. In
about two minutes the tug drew
the Raleigh and the president was greeted
by Lieut.. Commander Phelps, who intro
duced him to Captain Coghlan. The ma
rines stood at the guard rail on the poop
deck and the crew were ordered to man
the rail as President Mckinley and his
party stepped aboard. At the same mo-
ment the gunners began firing the
national salute and the blue jackets doff-
ed their caps.
Accompanied by Captain Coghlan the
president proceeded to the cabin of the
cruiser, where he held an informal recep-
ton. He was then escorted to the lower
deck on which the sailors Were. lined up
for inspection. Captain Coghlan intro
duced them as follows: "Mr. President
These are the men of the Raleigh. Part Of
them are from the flagship Olympia. They
all served throughout the whole cam
paign."
After passing before them with barred
head, Mr.. Mckinley addressed them as
follows: Captain Coghlan and men OF
the R~aleigh-It gives me great pleasure to
give you welcome home and to cOngratu-
late each one of you on the heroic part
you played in the great battle on the first
of May at Manila, which was g most glo-
rious riumph of American arms, and
made a new and glorious page in Ameri-
can history. l assure you that when I
give you welcome I am only speaking
the hearts welcome of 5000, 900 Ameri-
can citizens, who honor you for the splen-
did services to our country. This feeling
not only extends to YOU great admiral,
whom We all love and honor, but to the
humblest member of the crew who was in
that great fleet at Manila bay. I give you
all a warm and generous welcome and
my thanks"
Secretary of the Navy Long then ad-
dressed the sailors. He said: "You nave
heard the naval commandments and
