Interesting Land Case

sci in the case of A. T. Gosemerker VS..
Edwin II. Whittemore Joseph Raycraft.

chase from the State of "A certain piece of
land on Buckeye Creek in Douglas
county. In 1888 T. B. Smith. having pur-
chased $40 acres OF land from the State in
his own name, borrowed the name of
Whittemore and went to the State Land
Register and purchased $40 and 7s-lOO
acres in Whittemore's name, by himself
as agent, paying Smiths money for the
land, and two days later Whttemore
decided the land to Smith, without CON-
sideration. Several years after Smith
sold this land and very much more to
Joseph Raycraft. Last November Case
nerker, desiring to purchase some timber
land, and regarding the piece in contre-
versy as timber land, applied to the State
Land Register to purchase it as such.

EX-NAYOR SQUARELY
FOR REPUBLICANS.
Supreme Court Would NulIify
Any Imperialistic Ideas.
Every True Democrat Can Take No
Other Course Except to Vote the
Republican Ticket.

(By Abram S. Hewitt of New York, for
merly Mayor and Member of Congress.)
The political situation at this time is
Of very different character from that
which presented itself four years ago. At
that time it seemed possible to maintain
distinct Democratic organization, based
upon the fundamental principles enun-
ciated by Jefferson, and which had con-
tinued to govern the party in all previous
presidential elections. The recent con-
vention held at Kansas City has, how
ever, rendered all such expectations hope
less. The party which calls itself Demo
cratic is in reality Populistic, and based
upon doctrines which, if carried into eff
feet, would produce political anarchy.
You ask whether / believe in the COIN
age of silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1.
You might as well ask me whether l be-
ieved that an ounce should be made to
pass for a pound in the ordinary transac-
tons of commerce. The ratio is q false
ratio The value of silver measured by
gold is, as every one knows, not Is to 1,
but 80 to 1. The proposition of the plat
form therefore is to declare that fifty
cents shall by law be made equal to one
dollar.
You ask me whether the present admin
istration is likely to establish an imperial
iStic form of government over this coun-
try or in its new possessions.
/ answer that the Constitution of the
United States is too strongly intrenched
in the affections Of the people to permit
its possible violation by the administra-
ton, and that if such an attempt were
made, the Supreme Court of the United
States will surely interpret the Constitu-
ton in the spirit Of its founders and for
the preservation of the constitutional gov
eminent, to which we owe our stability
and our prosperity.
You ask whether Democrat, by voting
for Mckinley and Roosevelt, could be
considered false to the interests of Dem
ocracy. L answer that do not see how
a Democrat who is true to the interests
of Democracy can in the present exigency
take any other course than to vote for
the Republican ticket. l propose myself
so to vote. and / do this because / am a
Democrat who feels that Organism and
ali lHal IL SIRIUS IOT IS Numerically OPP
posed to the principles of the Democratic
party, as they were enunciated by Jeffer-
son and as they have been construed by
all the great men who have led the Dem
ocratic party up to the time Of the hold
ing of the unhappy convention of 1896,
when the old organization was broken up.
1t is certainly lesser evil to continue
the government in the hands of the Re-
publican party for the next four years
than to encounter the perils which would
confront us in case Bryan and his follow
ers should have the opportunity of put
ting in practice the insane policy to
which they are committed

field. Perhaps you can do more good
with the ballot than you could with the
gun Your country did not seem to need
you as a soldier, but your country does
need you in the realm OF citizenship.
3. No matter how long you may live,
you will never have an opportunity to
vote for better men than this year. We
have a magnificent ticket. Mckinley
and Roosevelt! What superb combina-
ton! They are both statesmen and both
heroes, one Of the great Civil War and
one Of the war for the deliverance of
Cuba. Mckinley, steady, earnest,
thoughtful, calm, kind and faithful;
Roosevelt, impetuous but efficient, brave
and dashing, with both moral and physi-
cal courage. Was there ever a better
ticket or one which more thoroughly COM
mands the respect, the confidence and the
affection of the American people?
II you don't stay and vote you will be
sorry for it twenty years from now. Make
some sacrifice for your country's sake.
Oh, my boy, you must not go until the
election is over. And when in November
the ballots fall
"As snowfakes fall upon the sod,
And execute the freeman's will,
As lightning does the will Of Cod"
Cast your vote and then sleep sweetly
that night, with sense Of duty faithfully
done. YOUR FATHER.

MOUNTAIN STATES
TURN TO'M'KINLEY.
Prosperity the Cause of the
Welcome Change.
No One Fears ..lmperialism," While All
Are Proud of the Records Made
by the Army and Navy.
By George L. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from Idaho.)

By George L. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from 1daho.)
There are many reasons which impel
the voters of the mountain States to sup
port the nominees and the policy of the
Republican Party this fall One word
more than any other explains the position
of our people in this support and that
word is confidence.
The record of the Republican party is
record Of fulfilled promises.
The first act Of the party after its re
turn to power was the enactment of the
Dingley tariff law, which again placed us
on protection basis.
Take for example the benefits which
have accrued to my own State, Idaho
Among our principal industries are min
ing, cattle and sheep growing and farm
ing.
The great lead mines of the State are
working every man possible at wages of
$3.50 per day of eight hours. During
the three years of President Mckinley
administration the value of the lead pro-
duced in the State was $14, LA ,005, while
during the last three years of President
Cleveland's administration the total value
was only $3.50, Isl.
Our sheep have advanced in price from
$1.15 to $3.50 per head, gain to the
people of the State of over three million
, dollars in the value Of the sheep alone
In the year 1896 the wool clip of Idaho
was valued at $442 ,6S5, while for the
year 1900 it is estimated that it will bring
to the wool growers Of the State S.,
$4,000.
A very conservative estimate of the
number of cattle in the State is 500, 600
They have increased in value on an aver
age of SIS per head, making the cattle
men at least seven and one-half million
dollars richer than they were three years
ago. The increase in the price of horses
of SO per head has also added between
one and two million dollars to the wealth
Of the State.
The voters of this State and of the
other mountain States are not blind to
these facts, and on election day they will
give earnest evidence of their confidence
in the party whose policy has so enriched
and prospered them.
We of the West are proud Of the
achievements of our army and navy in
the war with Spain. The patriotic posi-
ton of the Republican party in declaring
for the retention of the territory so gal
lantly won from Spain appeals to our
people.
They do not fear imperialism" for we
have never met an American who was
an imperialist. / am in receipt Of let
tiers from many men who have never yot-
ed anything but Democratic ticket, but
who will vote for Mckinley and Roose-
Welt on this Issue alone.
You can count on the electoral vote of
Washington, Oregon. Idaho, Utah, Wyo-
ming and perhaps Montana and Colorado
for Mckinley and prosperity.

The Foolish Calf.

When Senator Hanna spoke at Youngs-
town, Ohio, recently, he told story of
a calf that left its mother to run after
a steer Secretary Heath has taken up
this idea and developed it into a cam
paign poster which very artistically de-
picts Senator Hanna's idea. The calf is
seen chasing the steer in the distance;
the COW is in the foreground sauntering
quietly home, while the boy stands with
uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, say
ing, "You little fool, you little fool, you
id fool, you'll be sorry when supper
time comes"
The picture is entitled "The Foolish
Calf, or Lesson to Labor" and stand
ing by a fence in front of cottage are
a farmer and woman, the man with a
full dinner pail in his hand. This poster
is sure to catch on and is likely to be a
good vote getter.
When. Senator Hanna arrived in Chi
cago this week it was shown to him and
surprised him. He had no idea that Mr..
Heath had been developing his story.

DEAR BOY" LETTERS, NO. 9.
Ny Dear Boy:

Ny Dear Boy:
You say that you are tired of working
for old man Skinner, and are thinking Of
going West this fall, where wages are
higher. You ask what think about it.
Well, have no objection to your going
West, but don't want you to go till after
the election. This is the first time in
your life that you ever had an opportu-
nifty to exercise your right as an Amer
lean citizen in voting for a President of
the United States. / don't want you to
lose your vote for the following reasons:
l. The only possible chance of the cleo
ton of Bryan comes from the over-conf-
dence of Republicans. 1t makes me sad
to hear a man say, "Oh, Mckinley is
going to be elected, anyhow. There is no
danger. / have arrangements made to be
in California in November, but you won't
need my vote"
Especially do I regret to hear talk Of
this kind among some Of the railroad
men. If any class Of men ought to come
up unanimously to the support Of Nc
Kinley and the Republican party, that
class is composed of the railroad men Of
this country. Four years ago there were
thousands Of cars sidetracked, no build
ing and but little repairing going on,
and general stagnation in the railroad
business. Now new roads, new roadbeds,
new cars, the roads crowded with trains,
full time and better pay bless the rail-
road men of this country. And it vexes
me to hear a railroad man say, Il would
have to lay off a day to vote, and l guess
I'll not do that. There win be plenty to
elect Mckinley without me-" Well, if
by any possibility Mckinley should be
defeated, Just such men as that will have
themselves to blame.
9. No American voter has any right to
stay away from the polls or to lose his
vote il it can possibly be avoided.
Ny son, you are one of the sovereigns
of the United States, and you have no
more right to neglect the duties pertain
ing to your high calling than the Emperor
of Germany has to neglect the govern
ment of that mighty empire. To vote is

MANY AMERICANS SLAIN.
Lieutenant Wright and Number Ma
rines Reported Killed.

New York, June 23.-The Journal ant
Advertiser today prints a copyrighted
dispatch from Rev. Frederick Brown
presiding elder of the Tien Tsin dis,
trict Of the Methodist Episcopal church
The dispatch is dated at Chez Foo
June 22nd. and is as follows:
Il have just got away from Tier
Tsin on a German gunboat. The city
has been bombarded for several days
by the Chinese. All the foreign part OF
Tien Tsin has been destroyed.
Lieutenant Wright of our navy and
$50 others of the white residents, ma
rines and sailors sent up to our assist
ance, are killed or wounded.
THE American consulate building
has been destroyed. Ammunition is
almost gone. The garrison is suffer
ing terribly and needs instant help"
In response to a cabled inquiry as to
whether their missionaries In. Picking
and Shan Tung we're safe, the Prssby-
terrain board of foreign missions in
this city today received the following
reply from the Presbyterian mission
treasurer, Elterichs, at Che Foo:
"Che Foo, June 22.-Peking in peril,
Shan Tung ordered to port"
As interpreted by the secretary of
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions, Charles w. Nand, the dispatch
means that all missionaries in the
province Of Shan Tung have been or
dered by the United States consul to
leave their mission posts and proceed
in haste to some port where they can
be under the protection of a United
States gunboat.
