Two sisters, who have not seen each other for fffty-nine years. met in Potts town, Pa, on Wednesd day. but the joy of their reunion was marred by tha strange fact that neither could under stand what the other said. Mrs. John Knapp, seventy years of age, of San Diego, California, was one of them. and when she left 'Berks county in 1S41 she could master the German language fairly well. But her long absence caused her to forget all of E, and when hur sister, Mrs. Chas. Hortz, of Exc ter, greeted her in Pennsylvania Ger man, it was like so much Greek to the California woman.

MARRIED TO A VASE.

A correspondent, writing from ShanS- hai, says that a young Chinese lady there has recently been married to a rcd flower vase, the vase being sub sth,ute for the son of wealthy man darin to whom she has been engaged. Her fiance died just before the confem- plated marriage, and as she vowed she would never wed another. the flower vase was substituted for the bride groom and the marriage celebrated with all due pomp. These impersonal marriages are not uncommon in China, and it is easy to believe thae a happy rair so united would easily dispense with other family jars.-London Chron- irlp

NEW YORK

The republicans of this county meet today in convention for the purpose of
 selecting delegates to REPUBLI- the territorial conven-
 CAN ton and to nominate OPPORTU- men for the county of
 NIFTY. fees. This task, all ways responsible. is in- vested with extraordinary importance now by reason of the issues involved the weakness of the democratic county ticket, and the dissensions that exist in the democratic ranks. The delegate s to the territorial convention should be broad minded men who will appreciate the importance of fixing upon nomi nee for delegate who shall be strong throughout the territory, a good cam paigner, and able to cope with the democratic candidate in every stua- tion. Given such a man, with the united support of the republican party. this territory will be put in line with the dominant party at Washington and statehood will follow as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow.
 The territory was never in q position where correct political action could accomplish so much good as now. President Mckinley, whose reelection will recall the victory of Grant over Greeley. is a friend of Arizona. He has expressed his willingness to sign a statehood bill. The republicans of the senate are becoming better informed concerning the people and resources of Arizona, and we have it on strong au- thority that if a republican is sent to congress as Mir. Wilson's successor there will be no delay in giving Ari- zona place in the sisterhood of states If a democrat be sent, with the accom- panylng evidence of the territory's partialty for Bryanism, the prospect of statehood will be more remote than ever. The republican congress and the president simply ask for an evidence of the territory's good faith, and this would be supplied with the election of republican delegate.
 The delegates to the territorial con- vention from Maricopa county and from all the other counties should be fully impressed with the importance of the duty devolving upon them. If an inexperienced man is selected for the congressional nomination we might as well shut up shop and let the election go by default. This is not the time to bestow honors on any ambitious young man who might be helped Tn his busi- ness by the fact of having been nomi- mated for congress. Nor is it time for has beens." We want a live. UT to date man who knows how to conduct a winning fight. The Republican has no axe to grind in this matter. It de- sires to see Arizona become a state and grow populous and rich and it appre- ciates the fact that a republican vic tory in the territory this fall would pave the way to such a consummatiOn
 As for the county ticket-the repub- lican leaders rave the advantage ot knowing that the democrats have made an extremely weak selection. If they exercise good political sense today they will lay the groundwork for rousing victory in November.

is CENSUS SHORT2
Big Disparity Between Enumera-
tors Returns and Registra-
ton Estimate.
MAY BE LOSS OF THOUSANDS
Otherwise There Are Names on
Poll Books That Don't Be-
long There.

Com PARSONS between the registra-
ton and census figures show that the
CITY of Rock Island is either short of
representation in the census returns
of from 1000 to 5000 people or the
registration books contain more names
than there are legal voters.
While the census of the city has
not as yet been officially announced,
it comes from reliable source that it
will be given by the enumerators as
about 5000. The total registration
in the city for the coming election is
6,129.
The generally accepted multiple in
estimating population by registration
returns is 4. This would give Rock
Island a population of ~ 516. Four
and-a-half is the multiple employed
by many. Using Al as a multiple
gives the city population of y, $50.
Figures Don't Lie.
As the old saying is. figures don't
lie-hence there is an error some
where. 1t is not improba ble the CEN
sus enumerators have overlooked
many hundreds of names, as it will
be remem bered that after the canvass
in the several wards had been COM
pEeted there were many citizens who
reported they had been missed But
it is not likely that the inaccuracy is
of such proportions as evidenced by
the above comparisons.
Hence the natural suspicion is that
there are names on the registration
books that do not belong there. Such
thing as registration book stufling
has been heard of. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing in the larger cities where
the individuality of voters is lost

HALLOWEEN PASSES

boy forgot his license as mischief
maker, and Halloween passed off
without much annoyance or disturb

was more of a demonstration Tues
day night, when the boys were out in
force throwing corn at windows and
testing their tick-tacks, apparently
preparing for big doings on the real
night" In anticipation of trouble
some pranks on the part of the young
folks, the police force was increased
and special officers in citizens cloth
ing were stationed in all parts of the
city. but they had little to do Only
occasionally did the policemen en-
counter band of youngsters on mis-
chief bent. Not an arrest was made.
All in all the youth of the city be-
haved well, only few reports having
come to the police of missing gates
and wagons.

lVCLLMER'S ELECTION
MAY MEAN MUCH.

Rock Island and Moline should be
vitality If crested in the outcome of
the congressional race in Davenport,
said a citizen of Rock Island.
at is of no small importance to the
material prospects of Davenport's sis
ter cities to have Henry Vollmer
elected to congress. Then the next
house would at least have one mem Der
who would enthusiastically represent
and promote the interests of the tri-
cities.
Judging By past experience we
may expect little more than nothing
from Mr.. Prince in that direction,
and still less. we fear, from Judge
RumPle, of Marengo, Ia. if by some
misfortune he were to defeat Mr..
VoIlmer. He would join Mr.. Prince
in loquacious inactivity when the ar
senal and river interests were to be
looked after. He, like your Mr..
Prince, makes all sorts of ante-elec-
ton promises, but where is his incen-
tive or his fitness to redeem them?
Nearly all his life Judge Rumple
has lived within the narrow bound
aries of his rural county, having
lacked all opportunities to widen, to
gather experience and influence, so
that there is absolutely nothing about
the past-middle-age judge that would
promise to make the slightest i'm
preston upon congressional body.
MIR. Vollmer, on the other hand,
has been a prominent figure in ma
tional politics for eight years in spite
of his youth. He is urbane, bril-
liant, known throughout the country
for his marvellous elequence and
fighting powers. He has served as
page in congress. AS mayor of Dav-
export he gave evidence of great ex-
ecutive ability and the tact of man
of the world. So of his fitness there
can be no doubt. AS to his incentive,
to look after the many growing fed
eral interests conferred in the tri-cities
and vicinity, certainly none. For
their increased prosperity is Identical
with his own since all his interests
are centeIed within their confines.
IF Henry Vollmer were running
for congress on this side against an
outsider we are certain the laboring
and business element would cast their
vote for him irrespective of party
affiliations. AS one who stands very
near TO him, and who is one
of his most active supporters,
take pleasure in saying that Mr..
Vollmer had for long time past gath
cred initiatory information regard
ing the chances and the modus oper-
andi to locate on Rock Island arsenal
a branch office and branch depository
of the United States patent bureau.
1t is well known fact that the Wash
ington office is so crowded for room
that something will have to be done
within the next session of congress.
Here is our chance, and Henry Voll-
mer is already armed with argument
and ammunition up to his neck.
The tri-city business interests will
be served by the election of Vollmer.
