an advantage in this fact, and soon had
his man treed In a cactus bush. The
major did not care to shoot, as the gun
he carried had not been fired since he
licked Spain, and he was trihe uneasy
about the potency of its recoil. The
lone Democrat soon saw the situation.
but not daring to invite hand to- hand
conflict, remained In the bush, with
Major Miller camped underneath. At
last accounts their relative positions had

Up in Defiance county, Ohio, the DEM
ocrats have nominated Jerry McCarty
for sheriff. Jerry is one of the safest,
squarest and best men the county has
produced, and besides being staunch
Democrat, who never fiinched under
fire, he possesses versatility that popu-
larizes him with all classes. He can
plOw a straight furrow, fell tree, run
a foot race, put a fire out, catch thief
or umpire a ball game with the best
men engaged in these varied pursuits,
and still find time and occasion to tell
4 story or sing a song by way Of inter-
polation. A careful canvass Of the
county fails to find anybody in particu-
lar who isn't going to vote fog him.
His Republican opponent has alyeady
taken to the woods, and at last accounts
was in the thickest Of theounder brush
in the remotest township, perched on a
stump, framing a motion to make 1t
unanimous.

Superintendent Trescstt, of the Co
lumbiana schools, with the consent of
the board of educationi in that place,
has made a ruling that the boys must
not smoke cigarettes on their way to- or
from school, under penalty Of suspen-
sion. Four boys have already been
and more suspensions Will
|probably follow. Now, superintendent
Wright, it is UP to you. Hundreds of
young men and little boys, attending
the Canton schools, are cigarette
smokers. You once made inquiry about
the matter in the various schools, and
you are on record as haEina j BdeAd
greatly shocked at what you feund. Ifl
they can stop the practice in other
places, why cannot it be done in Cam
ton?
Senator Hanna went to Lincoln, Me-
bTaska, and called Mr.. Bryan a liasl
and said he was not fit to be constable. |
He was very properly hissed, just asl
anyone ought to- be hissed who WOULD
some to Canton and make. such state
ments about Mr.. Mckinley. Aftenl
Hanna's performance, 1t Is said that the |
state of Nebraska has BEEN taken from
the doubtful and placed in, the Demo-
Ioratic column. nt
1t is said that Chairman Johnston, of |
'the Republican committees has given |
local politicians, who think they know !
about running q campaign, |
TO understand that he has his hand on |
the throttle and that he will run the |
machine to suit himself. IT is also said |
that he gives local orators instructions
as to what they shall say when they |
go Duh on the stump. mr.. Johnston
also objects to having his.name spelled |
without the IT" and declares that the
johnson without the '.t' comes from
the Swedish. Dane, or Norwegian.
