Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

AUGUSTA. MAINE, JAN. 4. 1900.
TO the Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vsntion, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representative were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
. Tho passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are a por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed In norfina-
ton by convention representing no less
constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention. and l have there
fore included in the call six electors.

MANS Ups AND DOWNS.

One who had found the world all brighs
Fell by the wayside on 4 day,
But hope bent down and kissed his eheeb
And babe him rise and so his way.
He toiled In hungry Loneliness;
The friends he knew in former Gays
Forgot, somehow, to seek him out
Or help him on with words OF praise.
The weary years dragged slowly by;
One morning fame stood At his door,
And lined up in an anxious row
Were all the friends he'd known before.
So failure or success attends
The man who loses or who wins,
That he may know where friendship ends
And where self interest begins

TWO GREAT INVENTIONS.
Patents Secured BY Citizens of North Yakima

This is an age of invention and Yaki.
ma cannot be said to be behind the
times. Probably as many patents have
been issued TO citizens of this place as
anywhere else in the country, but the
two that are the best remembered by
early settlers were Tom Stations sage
brush header and the Rev. Dixon's one
wheel cart. Stations header was built
somewhat on the principle of a grain
header and it was calculated that the
sage brush would disappear before it
with the rapidity of frost when touched
by hot sun. Three pairs Of carwheels
the balance Of the machine was of the
same substantial character. When it
was to be given its trial exhibition it
took eight horses to move 1t over
smooth road and when figuring that
twenty more would not give it the
necessary power in the field Station gave
up in disgust.
Rev. Dixon's invention was a one
wheel cart which he calculated would
prove invaluable for travelling over trails
in mountain districts and across the
prairies. A harness especially made for
the purpose was required and the driver
sat on seat directly over a low wheel
The day for its exploiting arrived and
the reverend gentleman mounted the
box, cracked his whip and moved along
as satisfactorily as could be desired until
a mud hole, in front of Sam Chappel's
store, was reached when over went the
cart, horse Rev. Dixon and all. This
great invention was never given "a second

IMPORTANT BUSINESS SESSION
The County Commissioners Spend Week in
Acting UPON Public Measures.

After a session of a week the county
commissioners adjourned on Saturday
last to reconvene on April o.
At no previous time has there been so
many petitions for new roads or changes
in old ones, and in most instances the
commissioners favored the petitioners.
The most important action of the board
was that in regard to delinquent Northern
Pacific taxes. Several conferences have
been held with Tax Agent Sedgwick over
this matter, which has been pending in
court for some time, and on Friday the
county attorney was instructed to make
settlement on the basis of the payment
to the county of $36,75713. This, it is
understood, will be acceptable to the
railroad, and is on the basis OF 60 per
cent of the claim, which the company
held was illegal on account of an ex-
cessive valuation being placed on the
property-an increase of more than
double that of previous years and in ad-
vance Of that OF most counties. In view OF
the cost OF prosecution and the uncertainty
of litigation, the settlement was agreed
upon.
Leander f. Lawrence, of Zllah, was
appointed constable for that precinct.
Uncaled for warrants of over six years
standing, amounting to $l57.40, were or
dered cancelled and the money divided
between the road, bridge and school
funds.
The resignation of Justice Lince was
rejected.
On the petition Of George f. Shaw a
portion of the townsite of Sunnysde was
vacated.
DIR. p. Frank was reappointed county
physician under the same rate of compen-
sation as allowed for previous years.

with the lease OF the county farm was va

Falling Hair Storped

Badness follows falling hair, falling
hair follows dandrutf, and dandruff is the
result of germ digging its way into the
scalp to the root of the hair, where it
saps the vitality of the hair. To destroy
that germ is to prevent as well as to cure
dandruf, falling hair, and, lastly, bald
ness. There is only one preparation
known to do that-New BROS Herpiclde,
an entirely new, scientific discovery.
Wherever it has been tried it has proven
wonderfully successful. 1t can't be 9TH
erwise, because it utterly DESTROYS the
dandruff germ "You destroy the cause,
you remove the effect" 1915

WILL BE PLENTY OF FRUIT.
The Damage Done BY Frost not Nearly as Great
as was Apprehended.

The Damage Done BY Frost not Nearly as Great
as was Apprehended.
Yakima has had its annual scare over
the growing fruit crop and now after
careful inquiry The HERALD feels justi-
fled in summing up the situation with
the statement that the growers were more
frightened than hurt. There is probably
injury in some sections, notably along
about Union Gap, but even this is mainly
confined to early ard tender fruits. The
apricot and cherry buds are said to have
suffered the most, but many growers
claim that there will even be good crop
OF these.
The heavy frost was in the morning of
the 9th inst. That day there was furry
of hail and lowering skies and the ne>
morning another frost, though not quite
as heavy as the first. Since then the
climatical conditions have been favorable
as there has been an absence of bright
sunshine. gloomy feeling prevailed on
Friday and Saturday and Fruit Inspector
Beck, Frank Wheeler and others were
inclined to think that the damage was
very serious. Since then they have had
occasion to change their opinions, aud on
Monday Mr.. Beck said he had made
careful examination OF orchards to the
north, east and south of town and he be-
lieved there would be about the custom
AIRY crop, while Mr.. Wheeler said that in
his orchard nothing was injured.
The most gloomy predictions came from
the Ahtanum, where ice formed, but the
first reports have been very decidedly
modified, and while the frosts seem to
have damaged some orchards more than
others in practically the same locality, or
else some growers are more pessimistic
or less careful observers than Others, the
general opinion is that the supply will
be equal to the demand.
A. d. Egln says that there was less
harm done In the upper Ahtanum than
in the lower part of the county, and es-
pecially about Sunnyside, but that the
trees we're SO heavily laden with blossom
and bud that thinning ont will in many
instances prove beneficial On the
Matches VIM. Rowe reports that his
orchard stood the test without injury and
sim liar report comes from Mr.. Thomp-
son, but Mr.. Denton believes his crop
will be materially cut down.
From Parker Bottom p. J. Flint reports
that he will have a good crop if nothing
Damaging occurs from this time on. His
early peaches, he believes are all right,
but the late ones suffered considerably
| On the whole the situation is much
more favorable than could be anticipated
or even hoped for week ago.

WallaCe=COburn
Hardware Company
Stewards New Store Burglarized.

Stewards store, in the Hotel Yakima
building, was burglarized recently. Just
how or when no one seems to know, the
first intimation coming from the Old
Town through word sent up that four
toughs were there with supply OF cloth
ing that had evidently been stolen.
Through an Investigation and compare
son of tags the theft was traced to Stew
arts store where clothing to the value of
500 was found to be missing. The four
men were taken in charge by Sheriff
Tucker but one of them managed to es-
cape on the way to the Jail. One pair of
pants was all that was recovered. The
authorities however, are in receipt OF
telegram from superintendent Gilbert of
the Northern Pacific, who said that cloth
ing thieves had been arrested in Spokane
and he thought their plumber might have
been taken from the cars at Toppenish or
Mabton.
Lee Gleason, one of the trio, was held
by Justice Taggard, in default OF a $500
bond, to appear at the June term. The
other two asked for continuance in or

Minister Conger met and wooed and
won his wife at Lombard University,
Galesburg. III. 1t was a college match,
as both bride and groom were attending
school together there. The bride was
Miss Sarah ]. Pike, and the match was
a romantic one. Both were attracted to
the other by their brightness in classes
and by the good spirit which pervaded
every action and word. This was in
ante-bellum days, and the firing on Fort
Sumter put temporary end to their love
making. as cruel war interviewed Mr..
Conger went away to war; serving with
r7Hantry and distinction, rising TO The
rank of major. During his absence Miss
Pike was true to him and kept in touch
by constant watch and continued CORE
spondence. The years spent apart only
intensified their affection. and they were
married when the war was over, the
school days courtship resulting in thirty
four years of happy welded life.
The story is told of Chinese Manda-
rim who early learned that Mr., Conger
was not to be baked or bluffed. A mis-
sionary Of the American Bible Society,
provided with passports and credentials,
was stopped by the officials and held in
the military quarters on some paltry
trumpedup charge. The missionary sent
word to Minister Conger. and the minis

a. Isthrnian Canal.

The territorial jurisdiction of the
United States has been augmented in
the Atlantic by the cession of Porto
Rico. which, with the occupation of
Cuba, held in trust for the future,
serves to guard the Gulf Of Mexico and
to extend our influence in the West In
dies.
The necessary link 20 connect our At
Iantic and Pacific interests, continental
as well as insular. has seemed to be an
interoceanic canal, owned and control
led by the government of the United
States. An apparently iremovable
ydrrier TO the accomplishment of this
object has existed in the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty. which since 1880 has bound
this government not TO undertake such
a project as "A national enterprise.
Through all the political administra
tons since the negotiations of that con
vention no American President or Sec
rotary of State has ever denied the ex-
istence and the consequent obligation
of that treaty during its continued rec
ognition. Whatever may be said OF its
"voidability." its existence as solemn
compact binds the conscience and honor
of the American government and PEG
pie until it is legally annulled. In a
convention, dated Feb. s, 1900, this gov
eminent procured the voluntary con
sent of Great Britain to modify essen
TALLY the terms of that agreement,
thereby liberating the United States
from its previous engagement not to
construct or own an interoceanic canal.
AS the canal must of necessity lie with
in territory foreign to the United
States, it is evident that it must be of
Il neutral character and not be EN-
nloyed as an agency of war.
