POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
For Temporary Chairman. o,

For Temporary Chairman. - Only
three names thus far have been promi-
nently mentioned for the ONCE of Tempo
rary Chairman Of the Democratic National
Convention. These are Mayor Rose, Of
Milwaukee; Governor Thomas. of Colorado,
and the Hon James d. Richardson Of Ten
nessee. The contest. which, of course, will
be decided by the National Committee,
seems really to be between Governor
Thomas and Mayor Rose, with the present
prospects in favor Of the Wisconsin man.
In his behalf it is pointed out that Mayor
Rose represents section, and a vote TO
which it is presumed the campaign man
ayers will especially direct their efforts
Milwaukee, in proportion TO population. IS
the largest German-American community
in the country. and. while Mr.. Rose is not
Of German extraction. the fact that he has
been twice elected Mayor Of Milwaukee
indicates that he wields a big influence
among the very class Of voters who must
be won from the Republican party in The
close States this year in order to assure
Mr.. Bryan's election. In the general re-
organization Of the Democracy which mas
taken place during the past four years IL
is said Mayor Rose has taken the position
in Wisconsin formerly held by William F.
Villas. OF whom, alasi nothing has been
heard since the observation Of DR.. Grover
Cleveland. 1t is being urged against Gov
eFnor Thomas that the bestowal upon him
Of conspicuous honors at Kansas City would
merely be paying a merited personal com
pliment, without conveying an impression
OF political significance in any quarter
In environments and ideals the Colorado
man stands for exactly the same things
that are represented by Mr. Bryan. so that
II is contended his selection would not
bring a single vote to the ticket in No
vember. Mr. Richardson, too. represents
the same principles. and influences, and
comes from a section alb Jut which the party
managers have no cause TO feel the least
Uneasiness. Besides. ii Is held by his op-
ponents that Mr.. Richa rdson LOW has a
sutsciency Of party honors and response
bi'ities in the chairmanship OF the Con-
Sressional Campaign Committee, the titu-
lar leadership Of the party in the pTese ut
House, and an encouraging lead in the rare

Gratis carry the Congressional elections in
November. II is considered not unlikeiS
that II the National Committee should get

speaker. VIII carry of the prize.

A gentleman from Sand Hill inform
ed us Wednesday that crowd of at
least half a dozen boys in that neigh
borhood got themselves into serious
trouble last Saturday night.
The story goes that the boys filled up
on "fghtin' whisky and went up the
river to the Beech Grove settlement for
the purpose of raising disturbance at
a church festival that was being held
at Mendenhall's, near the mouth Of
Bells Run.
The people there resented their ac-
tions and fight ensued, during which,
it is said, one of the boys threw rock
through a window and struck Mr., Men
denhall on the hand, cutting his thumb
off. They were finally driven away.
Monday, warrants were issued for
the arrest Of the boys, but two Of them
had skipped, apparently for California
or other western parts, where fighting
is more in order. The remaining boys
are trying to settle the matter as quiet
ly as possible.

Thomas |. Mathers, by his attorneys,
Underwood < Ludey, has filed suit in
Common Pleas Court against Harry
Schmidt and others, asking judgment
for $100 with interest on same from
February /, 1900.
Mr.. Mathers claims that on Decem-
ber Is, 1899, he entered into verbal
contract with the defendants, known
as the Monroe Oil Co., he agreeing. in
consideration of 500 to deliver to
them an oil and gas lease on six acres
in Marietta township. One of the terms
of this alleged contract was that If the
first we'll drilled on the farm produced
200 barrels or more of oil in the first
ten days, the plaintiff was to receice
an additional $10O.
He states that the first we'll was
drilled and that the production from
the first ten days pumping was more
than 200 barrels; that on February |,
according to the contract, he rendered
them a lease duly executed, but they
refused and have since refused to ac-
cept it.
Mr.. Mathers asks that judgment for
the second named 800 be allowed with
interest (the first 800 having been
paid) and that the costs cf the suit be
assessed to the defendants. The case
is of interest to the oil fraternity in
general.

CORNER STONE
Of the Old Court House Not Located
By Records.

Research in the records of the Com
missioner's proceedings for the period
during which the old Court House was
being erected fails to bring to light
even so much as the scratch of pen
relating to a cornerstone, or the cere-
monies connected with the beginning
of the work. The minutes of the
meetings throw little light on the mat
ter of building the Court House, as
there are only short entries in regard
to the work.
The original building, so the records
say, was erected in 1929, and was
forty feet square. 1t was of brick and
stone and is the part occupied at pres
ent by the Treasurer, Recorder and in
part by the Auditor, on the ground
fioor and by the court room above.
Along in the fifties an addition was
found necessary and the part occupied
by the Probate Judge, Surveyor and
Prosecuting Attorney was built.
Again, in 1876, the building was found
too small and the Auditors and Clerk S
offices and the hall and stairway were
added.
1t has, therefore been nearly quart
er of a century since any work was
done on the building and the present
structure represents the types OF arch
itecture of seyenty-fiye. fifty and twen-
ty-fve years ago

Anxious For Trouble.

Tom Mcdonnell was locked up last
night and for the time being charge
of drunk and disorderly was slated
against him.
1t seems that Tom was in quarrel
some mood yesterday, owing to drink
and went to the home of his father on
Third street and demanded some prop
erty which belonged to his wife. Upon
being refused by Mrs. Lee, who lives
there, he called her vile names, and II
is said threatened to stab her with a
knife. The police We're called and he
was taken to the lookup.
Mrs. Lee was at police headquarters
last evening and said she intended tt
take steps to have the law take III
course with the obstreperous Tom.
