Six Candidates for Governor and Two
Score for Other Offices.
Grand Rapids, Mich, June 90,
Grand Rapids hotels are crowded with
delegates to the Republican state con-
vention, which opens tomorrow morn
ing, and every incoming train brings
more. There are six candidates for gov.
ernor and forty or more for the minor
offices. For the head of the ticket Col
onel A. L. Bliss, of Saginaw, has the
most votes pledged, though ID. NJ. Fer
ry, of Detroit, and Justus 5. Stearns,
of LudingtOn (the present secretary OF
state), have pressed him so closely
that the nomination will go to the man
who can command the greatest assist
ance from the three lesser lights when
the break comes.
1t is possible that the contest will be
so determined that the convention will
be forced to discard them all and choose
dark horse. Stearns is the Pirgree
candidate, and this may initiate
against him as the Ferry Bliss forces,
both bitterly opposed to the governor,
may unite to defeat him. Ferry is
thought to have the backing of the
MlllanB Burrows federal machine"

The JudRe'n Affidavit.

Some years ago Justice Of the Peace
Beasley of Missouri was personally III
terested In a lawsuit, being a party
thereto. 1t was necessary for him to
make an affidavit, and he deprecated
the idea of making it before another
Justice or a notary and depriving him
self of a fee. SO he filled out his atfi'
dayit, swore to 1t before himself, sign
ed it as justice and as witness and
awaited developments. He was sure
that he would win and thus be able to
tax the costs up to the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley, the affidavit was offered In EVIL
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that justice couid
not swear himself.
"IIet me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
1t was handed up to the judge VINO
scanned 1t carefully for few mo-
ments and then asked:
"Mr Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identified
your own signatureT
"That was very easy, your honor
replied Beasley. Il borrowed look
ing glass and went through the formal
ties before II"
Beasley was somewhat astonished
when Judge Kelley sustained the OBJ
jection.-Omaha WorldHerald.

An Awful Mis- h ap.

Two passengers on an Atlantic liner,
one an American and the other an Eng
lishman, did not exchange the farewell
courtesies when the steamer reached
her pier usual between voyagers who
have occupied adjoining staterooms
and hobnobbed during an ocean voy-
age. A plausible explanation was
youchsafed by the American.
During the voyage the Englishman
persisted in fraternizing with the
American in a most obtrusive and an
moving manner. Within two days OF
Boston the Englishman one morning
hunted up the American and found him
in apparent dependency, gazing sea
ward from the hurricane deck.
COMPOUNDED blue this morning, old
chap. What's the matter% And the
Britisher slapped his companion on the
back.
Matter enough" growled the Amer
lean. "Ships lost; captain don't know
which way to steer. Forgot to WIND
the compass last night"
The Englishman listened with mouth
agape, then rushed off to tell his friends
of the consequential mishap Evident
" the gullible Britisher was pushed
along" for some time until he found
everybody guying him.-Boston Post.

his cleverness in getting himself and
his friends out Of difficulties. 1t hap

Incurred the cars displeasure and
was about to be executed. The latter
therefore presented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the car d.
vining his errand, cried ut is no good

what you are going to ask"
Immediately the jester went down
on his knees, saying, Il beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp

The car, thus caught In his own
trap, could only laugh and pardon the
condemned man.-COlumbian.
