Captain Svensen stated this evening
that it would be useless to send relief to

the Kotzebuef country as ne and his
companions must be dead by this time.

HE RODE ON THE WALK.
This Cyclist Was Mad Because He
Was Arrested.

J. S. Stears with a biIIbook in one
hand and a dollar in the other, stepped
into the police station this morning to
register, by request of Patrolman Tur-
pin, for riding his bicycle on the side
walk
Il want to say right now said Stears
TO Jailer Grubbs. that this thing of
making fish out of one and flesh out of
the other is not right. Why don't that
officer arrest the right people. I don't
ride my wheel on the sidewalk and this
is an outrage"
Your neighbors in North Topeka
complained about you" said the jailer
as he went on registering the man.
My neighbOrs2 Well, it must have
been that man across the street that is
running business in opposition to me-
Why, from Alpha to Omega I never
heard of anything like this The police
man who arrested me was not even gen
t1eman enough to give me his name -
We'll, you rode your wheel on the
sidewalk, didn't you?'' asked the jaiIer.
"Well, had a slow puncture and in
stead of going around a wagon I went
on the walk a little ways"
THE best thing you can do is to pay
your dollar here and tell your troubles
somewhere else said the jailer
I intend to-" and the man paid it and
left.

Good work For Foraker.

Washington, July 3.-General Gros-

as a possible candidate for the United

no opposition among Buckeye Republi-
cans to their senior senator. TT is all
nonsense to talk of defeating Foraker
for the senate" said he. 'iSuch talk
emanates only from Democratic sources
and is laughed at by Republicans. SEN

4he time comes to choose his successor
he will be reelected with hands down.
There is no opposition to him in his own

REPUBLICAN CON YENT1ON.

The Republican county convention
met last Saturday in the Court
House. There was only "a little
handful of the brethren present, by
actual count 46. There were 20
Democrats in the audience. 1t was
the smallest, shortest, quietest con-
vention ever held in Tazewell, SO it
was said. Jas. p. Whitman was
chosen chairman, and w. G. Pendle.
ton secretary. Col. Jas. S. Brown
ing offered the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, by the Republicans of
Tazewell county, in convention as
sem led, that we deem it unwise to
make a nomination for the House of
Delegates from this county. A
would-be candidate, who did not
relish the resolution was pulling him
self together and catching his breath
to make a speech, when motion
was made and carried TO adjourn
1t was said by one of the leaders,
after the meeting was over that the
action OF the convention was to viz
tually down him and endorse the
candidacy of Mr.. Moss.

The Brotherhood of Nations.

There has been much written and
more said, on the "Fathe, hood Of
God, aud the brotherhood of man. "
In these later days of light and
progress we are proud to think that
in eligion and ethics We are no long
er exclusive, but believe in the uni.
versatility of love and brotherhood.
There is IA broad and grand appli-
cation of this principle. BY the
brotherhood of man. it is not To
be understood that only met, rs in
dividuals are meant. The principle
includes the brotherhood of nations
and Kingdoms, as well If the truth
were recognized that nations as well
as individuals, are akin-are brothers.
there would be no wars-no usurpa
tions-nO slavery. There would not
today be war between England and
the Beers. or the Filipinos and the
United States. 1t has been shown
that our forefathers w re savages,
we believe. and this accounts for the
fact, we suppose, that ever aud anon
we revert, In our actions, to the old
nature which centuries of education
have failed to eradicate.

The Navy.

The estimates of appropriate as

In our history. The total is seventy
three million, forty-five thousand,
one hundred and eighty-three dol

lions for the current year by twenty
four million, five hundred and thirty
seven thousand, one hundred and
eighty-seven dollars. Large as the
amount is, few citizt MS of the United
States will be inclined to criticise
the wisdom of the expenditure. All
Americans feel a just pride in the
achievements of our navy during the
spanish war. Existing circumstances
not only justify, but imperatively de-
mand navy adequate to all con-
tingsncies. The country has entered
upon new career and incurred new
obligations by acquiring insular pos

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1899.
The Exact Situation.

We think it is due to the Demo
Gratis OF the county that statement
should be made, setting forth the
facts concerning Mr.. Moss's nomi.
nation by the Democratic convention
on Sept. Both, because of certain re-
marks that have gone forth and GER
tain impressions sought to be made.
There has been talk of "trap laid
for the Democrats, caught in n trap,
nominated Republican, etc. The
facts are these: When MIR. Moss's
name was suggested to the com
mittee who recommended him the
question was asked by Il member of
that committee whether Mr.. Moss
would accept the nomination as the
Democratic candidate of the cor
vention Those who were author
lied to speak for him gave an un-
qualified answer in the affirmative
To be still more certain Mr.. Moss
was communicated with ut once by
Telephone and the report Thought,
that if nominated by the Democratic
convention he would accept, pre-
sumably upon a Democratic plat
form, as Democrats would be scarce
ly expected to adopt other than a
Democratic platform. With dis
tinct understanding, therefore, the
nomination was duly made and car
ried unanimously, and IN good faith.
So, whether the Democrats noml.
mated "a Republi ;an," our readers
can judge. AS to Mr. Moss's accep,
lance, they can also Judge, as the
correspondence between Mr.. Moss
and the committee appointed to
notify him is published.
This is, we believe, the situation
exactly. We understand that MIR.
Moss claims that he did accept the
nomination in his letter. The COM
mittee thought the language not ex.
plicit, and addressed another which
has not been answered up to this
writing.
