4 STAG PARTY.

Mrs. Joseph Tyson, assisted by
the Misses jerks Of Spencer, Iowa,
and Mrs. F. W. Birch Of this city,
gave surprise stag party to
about % gentlemen friends OF her
husband last Thursday evening, the
occasion being the evening before
the 55th anniversary of Mr.. Tyson 5
/ birth.
Mr.. Tyson was kept down town
during the arrival of the guests,
which continued up to niue O'Clock,
after. which Edwin Tyson was de-
tailed to inform his father that he
was wanted at his house. Notwith-
standing the fact that it was raining
heavily Mr.. Tyson. followed by the
OBTAINING conspirators, responded.
and the former was greatly sur
prised as he walked in on the party
of gentlemen waiting to greet him.
The affair was Strictly Bohemian
in it's nature. Cigars were passed
around to the gentlemen at frequent
intervals during the evening, which
was spent at cards, and about II
o'clock light refreshments of ice
cream and cake were served.
At about 11:45 Maj. Powell STEP
ped forward and informed Mr.. Tyson
that he had gone beyond the half
century mark by five years that
he had known Mr.. Tyson for years
as rustler and pioneer of this por-
ton of the State, and in view Of the
fact that he was approaching the
winter period his friends thought
he was entitled to a rest, and that
| instead of standing, they wanted
him to rest in seated or reclining
position. Maj. Powell then, on be-
half of those present, presented Mr..
Tyson with a handsome library ad-
Unstable chair. The little coup took
the wind out Of Joseph s talking sail
for once. He was completely sur
prised, and when some one called
| oft to him to ''sit down" he re-
covered enough to say that he
thanked the givers. that he was
glad be had so many friends, that
they were present there, and that
he hoped to meet them often. He
then sat down in the chair and the
card playing went'on.

BAD CONDUCT.
Three Men Did Not Attempt to Rob
John p. Do1eZdI.

J. A. Brown, I. G.. Dearholt and
Peter Betz, VINO were arrested on
Monday night of last week, on the
charge of having committed high
way robbery in connection with the
alleged hold-up and robbery of John
P Dolezal. on the road leading from
here to North Redwood, about $50
o'clock the same night, were ar
raigned before Judge Chadderdon
of the police court on Tuesday after
Noon of last week.
Sheriff Pease had investigated the
case fully and had come to the con-
clusion that there was not a high
way robbery, or an attempt at it and
as result the cases were changed
to violations Of the city ordinance
and Corporation Counsel Harriott
appeared as the prosecuting attor-
ney. The case against Dearholt
was dismissed at the start, and no
record was made of the same.
Peter Betz, who had known
Dolezal for some time, and who had
trouble with him over the bride,
and who was the only one of the
trio responsible for the trouble that
occurred, was found guilty and was
fined $15 and costs, amounting in all
to $2287. He remained in jail until
Wednesday morning, when the fine
was paid and he was liberated.
J. A. Brown was found guilty of
disorderly conduct and was fined
S25 and costs, amounting to $33. 81,
or given the alternative of 60 days
in Jail. Brown promptly raised the
money and paid the fine. He was
the owner of the team at Barnes
Bros. livery stable.

WILSON OUT or IT.
WithdraWs as a Candidate for Reg
Ister of Deeds.

A genuine surprise was sprung
in political circles on Tuesday of
last week by the announcement of
Eric Wilson, commissioner from the
First district, who has been an &C
tive candidate for the Republican
nomination for the office of register
Of deeds, that he was no longer a
candidate for. that place, but would
accept the nomination for commits
sioner from the First district, pro-
viding it was rendered to him.
Mr.. Wilson S declaration came in
a letter to a friend in this city. He
stated that owing to his ill-health
he was compelled to withdraw from
the race. THE next day after I
sent in my announcement for pub
LEGATION, he continued, Il was
taken sick and have been confined
to my house and bed ever since.
Although better now, the spell
of sickness has left me so weak that
it will take some time to get my
strength back, and I realize that it
would be useless for me to be in
the race for Office when [ am unable
to be out working for myself. For
this reason I withdraw as a can
didate for register of deeds. 1
thank all my friends for the kind
ness and good will shown to me in
what little rvassing have done. "
This leaves the fight for the nomi-
nation for register of deeds between
N. W. Cobleigh, the present in
cumbent, and Alfred J. Gerhard of
Lamberton. Both candidates are
making an active canvass for the
nomination. and an unusually pretty
contest may be looked for at the
! finish
Mr. Wilson, who has withdrawn
from the field for register of deeds,
writes regarding the commissioners
ship: ITO my friends of the First
district I will say: that irasmuch as
there is not, TO my knowledge, a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for commissioner. I will ac-
cept the nomination if given to me.
I do not seek the Office, but if I am
nominated I will make all the efforts
at my command to be elected.
The contest for sheriff is about as
uncertain as ever. All the candi
dates are hustling and each candi
date is confident of winning the
prize. The same statement applies
to the contest for county attorney
which is being sought by Messrs

The Journal has been rewarded by
the Democracy of the State for the
effort it put forth last iall for the
election of Gov. Smith and the Dem
ocratic ticket in general. The State
printing for this county, amounting
to 5000, has been divided between the
two Democratic organs, the Democrat
and the Journal. The latter papers
political standing is thus defined and
the hypocrisy exhibited by it in pos
ing as an Independent paper is thus
exposed. 1t has succeeded in pulling
the wool over the eyes of many Dem
ocrats and not a few Republicans in
the position it has taken in the past,
and to sustain the position thus
taken all honor, political and other
wise, has been set in the background.
Two years ago when this paper was
awarded the State printing the Jour
nal made the assertion that the money
we received for the service was exhor-
bitant and could he done for less.
To be consistent we demand that the
Journal return to the State at least
one-half of the amount allowed it for
the work.

Now that civil government has
been granted to Porto Rico, the Dem
ocrats would have the country believe
that great injustice has been done
to that little island, when the truth
is that it is to be granted the largest
possible measure of self-government
and educated in American ideas of
citizenship. Not one cent of tax,
either direct or indirect is to be col
lected from there that will not be re-
turned in the way of schools, ports,
bridges, lighthouses, and all those i'm
provements that mark the progress
of vigorous and growing people.

The Kingwood, w. Va, argus says;
A young man was in town the other
day from Sassafras Fork or Turkey
Run, and just before he started his
old dad told him: Nov don't forgit
while ye're in Kingwood, to git some
O. them 'leatric light plants we heern
so much about, so we kin jist raise
'em ourselves arter this an save buy
in kerosene or making candles" The
young man was inquiring around
town where he could get some of the
plants and some one sent him down
to the Electric Light Plant, where he
explained that he wanted to see Geo.
Williams, who told him he could have
all he wanted if he would dig them
up himself, and George set him to
work on some horse-radish that was
growing around the place. The young
fellow dug up all he could carry and
went home rejoicing.

The Bryan Chance and the Bryan Risk.

The Bryan Chance and the Bryan Risk.
1t may seem paradoXical to say so,
but there are very many who believe
that one element of strength in Mr..
Bryan's candidacy, should he be again
nominated for the Presidency by the
Democratic party, is that he would, if
elected, go into his Office with his
hands so tied against any dangerous
meddling with the currency question
that he would be comparatively harm
less. Other questions for the present
so monopolize popular attention that
the danger involved in cheap money
experiments no longer constitute a
source of immediate alarm to the
business interests of the country. No
doubt, because of such reasoning, Mr.
Bryan would get support this year
that was denied him in 1896, even if
the obnoxious Chicago platform were
reaffirmed. Whether he could make
up in this way for losses which four
years of prosperous business and of
cooling experience have wrought in
decimating the ranks of the believers
in free silver coinage is at least an
open question.
Those who consider the matter SER
iously, however, will reach the con-
clusion that Mr.. Bryan as President
under any circumstances would be a
great risk. There is hardly doubt
that if he were chosen Democratic
House of Representatives would also
be secured. Such a combination,
holding the purse and the patronage
of the Government, is very potent.
1t is the firInest believers in Mr..
Bryan's honesty of conviction and
purpose who pay him the compliment
of being afraid of him. He has SO
identified himself with the cheap
money enthusiasts that his election
would restore the distrust of the Sc
curity of business enterprise in the
United States which for so many
years crippled the country's indus
trial development.

Why Not Be Consistent?

Ever since the blatant editor of the
Journal has ,been publishing his bla-
tant paper he has been harping upon
the good to be derived in performing
public printing under the bidding
systematic lowest bidder to receive
the work. Quality in paper and
workmanship are not to be consider
ed, according to his ideas. Neither is
the circulation of any newspaper to
cut a figure in the work to be done
lust so that it is done will be the only
consideration in determining who the
lowest bidder is.
At present the blatant editor of the
blatant Journal is member of the
Town Council of Oakland. When he
assumed his duties as such he was
sworn to diligently perform all the
duties required of him by law with
out fear, partially or prejudice
Sec. 1856, Chapter %, of the Acts of
1898 provides
No members of the Town Council
shall during his term of office hold or
be interested in any other Office under
the corporation, nor be party d.
rectly or indirectly TO or interested an
0ny contract in which the corporation
is interested.
Notwithstanding the oath taken
by the blatant editor of the blatant
Journal and the section of the law
prohibiting it, all municipal printing
of ordinances, notices, etc, is sent to
the Office of the journal. If competi-
tive bidding for county publishing
and printing results in a saving to
the tax payers, would it not also
apply to municipal publishing
and printing? Inasmuch as the work
is sent to the Journal office, even If
there is no direct contract made, a
contract is implied, and the blatant
editor of the Journal can and no
doubt does bring in bills for any
amount he sees fit and the Council
have them to pay. If there is con-
tract either directly or indirectly it is
surely breach of the law on the part
of the Council.
What we would like to know is why
the blatant editor of the blatant
Journal cannot be consistent in mu-
nicipal as we'll as in county publishing
and printing?
Will the Journal in all its blatancy
explain?

The Crust" Question,

American fitness for self-govern-
ment, so far as it exists, means that
the people are both willing and able
to form correct and just opinions on
questions affecting the public well
fare. A good many voters, all know,
are not fit for self-government, but
the number is much smaller than
most persons imagine. Even the I'M
lettered and ''plain people," in Mr..
Lincoln's phrase, have been judging
between the conflicting representa-
tions of the two great parties for forty
years, and the result proves that
they have judged ON the whole with
astonishing correctness. Their task

The Trials of the Editor.

To run paper without occasional
ly publishing an item that is detri-
mental to some persons, is like run
ming a railroad without having any
accidents or mishaps. To do either
is physical impossibility. No man
on earth is to so great an extent con-
stantly at the mercy of both friends
and enemies as the editor of news
paper. He must get much of the in
formation concerning transpiring
events second or third handed or not
at all. Frequently statements are re-
ceived from supposedly trustworthy
sources which are subsequently found
to be without foundation. Not one
editor in a thousand wilfully Injuries
friend or foe by misrepresentation.
Go and ask him for correction, and
nine cases out of ten, if your case is
Just, you will be received politely and
proper correction made with pleasure.

EX-SENATOR GoRMAN appears to
have been meddling in Pennsylvania
affairs by exacting a promise from a
Senator to vote for the admission of
NJ. S. Quay to the highest branch of
the Federal legislature. When in the
Senate Mr. German voted against the
admission of Corbett, of Oregon, on
the ground that the Governor had
not the constitutional power to make
the appointment of Senator even
on a much better claim than that
made in Mr.. Quay's behalf. But Mr..
German is not apt to allow so trivial
matter as this to control his wishes.
Yet this man has sometimes been
mentioned as Democratic candidate

hcyns in Maryland-which is now
