The universal sentiment al tne fop
convention was that Jones is failure

If the girls are little crochety this
week, Just remember that last Sunday
was a little hard on Easter hats, and
have patience.
Rosenthal's window display of
pheasants, prairle chickens and ban
tams attracted good deal of atten-
tion Easter day.
If Boschert s. Williams don't quit
placing such attractions in their snow
window special policeman will be
necessary to keep the crowds moving.
The Populists convention, at Erie
seemed to be bonanza for Probate
Judge Roseberry. He married three
couples on tnat day and issued license
to another.
w. III. Nation has way OF speak
ling his sentiments. From remark
he made in the Pop convention at
Erie, the other day, we infer he does
not like jim Allen very we'll.
The Seniors took little picnic eX-
cursion down the river SATURDAY ar,
ternoon. Be a little more thOughtful
next time, Seniors, and don't keep
your chaperones out quite SO late al
night.
The fine ring lost by one of the
Senior girls, Saturday night, on the
river bank, was found Sunday by a
= few of the class who took the back
trail and had the good fortune to To-
cate the missing jewel.
Wednesday we happened into the
probate Judge Office and inadvertant.
iy caught prominent young man OF
the county transactlug little private
, business with the judge. We prom
ised to say nothing TIL next week.
Toe Sewell thinks OF taking out a
, natent on new incubator. Saturday
, he placed a setting of eggs in his
? show window and Sunday morning
his window was full Of fluffy little
chicks. That beats the record fol
e quick work.
Our genial Katy agent is very dis
Greet about railroad affairs apd has
usually been considered extremely Sc
in his own little affairs, but after
l This when he has occasion to send a
messenger to drug store for any ar
tIcle of merchandise he may need in
his priyate affairs, he should instruct
said messenger to not speak so louo,
. if bv chance there are any loafers
around.
Onr good Pops seemed to have quite
n little warming up at their caucus
one evening last week. The Demo-
cratic part of the aggregation seemed
inclined to run things in their inter-
est and, from present indications,
inst about dill it. 1t must make a
former Republican who went of with
thr Pops in good faith, feel little
cheap and ont of place TO find himself
landed squarely in the Democratic
party.
To us the most agreeable part of the
pom convention was the pleasure OF
meeting our old time friend ana scnool
mate Geo. K. Smith. He acted as
secretary Of the convention ana dls,
charged his duties with dignity and
courtesy to all Geo. is an honest;
time hearted a man as ever lived and
how a man of his ability and honesty
of nurpOse could be led to espOuse the
cause of Populism is more than we
can tiqure out, We can only surmise
that growing above ana beyond ne,
mocraey and becoming convinced OF
its rottonness and periidy. he broke
away from it, but the preludices oil
his early training were so strong they
would not allow him to come, over to
the Republican party. Wonder if he
will now allow himself TO be led quiet
ly back among the old fossils he has
deserted, by the demagogues at the
head.
