Daylight Trip 10 Prairie City.

The Sumpter Transportation company
has made application to the postoftice de.
partment for permission to change the
schedule OF its mail stage to Prairie and
Canyon City. The purpose is to avoid the
all night drive, and make the trip in day.
light. As soon as this permit is granted,
the time table will be changed so that the
stage will leave here at 8 o'clock in the
morning, instead Of at I in the afternoon,
and arrive at Canyon City at six in the
evening. The return trip will be run OH
the same schedule. II Is thought that a
reply to this request will be received in a
week or ten DAYS. II the permit is not
granted, an extra will at once be put on,
to run on the above time.

POLITICAL SITUATION.
Little Interest Being Taken In
the Coming Election.

Peter Dunno makes his famous Dooey
say that when any great question Of pub.
lie Interest arises, on which the two
political parties are divid, he studies the
problem carefully without prejudice and
then goes to the polls and casts his vote
for the straight democratic ticket. And
that is about the way Sumpter voters of
both parties are going 10 exercise their
elective franchise June 4. II they care to
vote at all, they are going to weigh the
merits OF the several candidates without
prejudice. and then vote for those nomi.
mated bv the party with which they
chance to affiliate.
There is absolutely no interest being
taken here IN the election. The people OF
the entire western portion OF the county,
ot course. would like to have a representa-.
tive on the board Of county commission
ers, thinking that he would secure for
them square deal in the matter Of ap.
por,loning the road fund. That might,
perhaps, I've called practical politics, but II
is, IN reality. merely the universal human
instinct which prompts people to fight
against getting the worst oi It, as resi-
dents OF this portion oi the county have
been tor wears past. Mayor Gleason, the
democratic candidate for this position, Is
making no canvass tor votes, and says
he viii make none. lie Is acting on the
principle tha, the. nomination sought the
man, aud the office must do likewise.
The general impression is that he stands
a good chance OF being elected.
Walter looney, the other Sumrter can.
didatr, also a democrat, recognizes the
tao, that he has a difficult tight on his
hands IN order to win the election tor
sheriff. and is making 4 systematic cam.
paign throughout the county. His op.
ponent. the present incumbent, is pop.
ular man, has handled himself diplomat
icallv while IN office and will hc a difficult
man 10 beat.

Sumrtrr no representation on the county
ticket, the successful combination having
been made against this town. The near.

tines, except that Mr.. English, being per.

II Is estimated tha; close onto 1000

editing have been perfect. as they are in the

profit by them. The editorial machinery is put

are separated by quotations some being of con-
siderable Iength-from Sainte-B Beuve. whose
inimitable "Causeries'' provide just the needed

1t hath not been my use to pray
With moving lips or bended knees,
But silently, by slow degrees,

In humble trust mine eyelidS close
With reverentiaI resignation,
No wish conceived, no thought exprest,

A sense all DER my soul imprest

Since in me, round me, everywhere,
Eternal strength and wisdom are.
