EDITOR GoERz. of The jefferson
Record, is evidently becoming greatly
excited as the campaign wakes warm.
In one item in his last issue he says
the sending of Mark Hanna to Wiscon-
sin lis an insult to every decent citizen
in the state' and 1.-The state board of
health should take prompt preventive
measures to guard against an epidemic
of moral leprosy'' Will Bro. Goerz
please explain to his patient readers
the occasion for this tremendous out
burst of Indignation? In another item
he grows equally indignant because
The Milwaukee Sentinel referred to
Bryan as IAN ass" for having foolishly
asserted that the Republicans intend
building forts near every big city to
suppress by force that discomfort which
ought to be cured by legislation. He
wants The Sentinel editor, whom he
styles q mean and dirty ass,'' given
a "good, sound faying,' and thinks
said editor had no right to thus refer
to lone of the grandest statesmen OF
the world - Consistency does not
seem to be a jewel with The Record
man. The Sentinel's reference to
Bryan was altogether mild compared
to The Record 8 dirty fling at Hanna.
In still another place The Record insin-
yates that there are no Gold Democrats
left in Watertown. The term .'Gold
Democrat" is very nauseating to Bro.
GOerz, as no doubt many people in
Jefferson can attest. We guess some
of these same "Gold Democrats were
much in evidence about the time OF
the Democratic county convention.
The Record has evidently not yet re-
covered from it's soreness and there
fore is now venting it's spite on the
Republicans.

GODDESS STACKED CARDS.

They lac all taken a stand at telling
stories of lucky streaks of fortune, from
nndlng gold mines on the tops of snow
covered mountains to discovering hidden
tinguished.
I've no doubt your stories are all true"
said the tall, lanky Individual with the
lantern jaw as .he stretched his long eyes
and rested them on the shining brass
fender ."No doubt Of it, but they're
common.
Its quite an everyday matter to read
of the finding of a buried pot Of gold or
the secret of a fabulously wealthy mine
being given to some poor devil of a pros
pector by an old indian chief whom he
has succored. Those stories are all stere-
otyped nowadays, with mortises for in
sorting names and places.
NOW l can tell you an Instance of un-
expected good fortune. a streak of luck,
that for uniqueness almost surpasses be-
lief. You all know Jim Russell, or If you
don't you ought to.
well, Jim had been up against it for
two years.; everything seemed to go
wrong with him, and to make a long
story short, he had got to the point
where he was glad to get his three squares
a day when he ran against a proposition
which would not only gain him a compe-
,tence, but put him in the way of a COM
Portable income. But it needed $500,
and this sum was in itself a small for
tune TO him at that time.
Now, right here is where the Goddess
of Fortune took up his cards and dealt
him out a winning hand. He boarded
the L train one m~orning-in fact, it was
the last day of the time allowed him in
which to accept or reject the proposition.
"The car was crowded with people go
ing to make their purchases for the holi-
days. A lady, richly dressed, who was
seated in front of him., arose to leave the
train and Jim slid quickly into the vacant
seat. AS he did so he realized that he
was sitting on something which a quiet
investigation proved to be a pocketbook,
and a. well-def1ned one at that to Judge by
the sense of touch. He managed to work
it into his hip pocket without attract
ing an" attention, and, leaving the car,
he proceeded to ascertain it's contents.
THE book contained $780, This lucky
strike so overcame him that he wandered
out the avenue in a ~half-dazed condition
and he turned down the street without
noticing where he was going. Now along
there were some very slippery side
walks, and as Jim rusheu heedlessly
along his feet slid apart and he fell for
ward, striking his forehead a pretty hard
bump.
''This cooled him down in more senses
han one and arising to his feet, he be-
gan wiping the snow and slush out of his
face and hair. AS he put his hand to
fall had inflicted he felt something hard
sticking in the bleeding cut.
Pulling it out, he was about to throw
it in the gutter, when-gentlemen. you
may not believe it. but it was a $50 gold
piece. Now, what do o think of that
for luck?"
No one answered him. -

committee the contestants are given o u
days in which to introduce their proof.
The contestees are then given Ave days
In which to present their side and one day

buttal evidence. Both sides are to be
given a reasonable tim for argument oy

Senator Blackburn, who has been In
Washington for several days, Will return
tonight. 1t ia stated he Will assist Goe-
bel until the end of the fight.
The republican leaders claim to have
encouraging news from the lawyers who
are repre- senting the republican contes-
tees. They claim to have assurances
from that quarter that even should Gov

they win institute proceedings before

might be decided by the inferior courts.
Meanwhile they say the republicans will
hold the offices.
Senator Goebel's attorneys and the Goe-
bel leaders generally do not think there
is anything in his claim, as they insist
that no federal question is involved and
the case, If fled, would have nc standing
in the federal courts.
Ex-Governor Bradley gave out an inter-
view tonight in response to the charge
that he was in conference with the repub-
leans and the anti Goebel democrats in
Louisville prior to the election. He said:
