FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
sThe Chamber of Horrors" Which Was
 Built Hundred Years Ago.

s'The Chamber Of Horrors" Which Was
 Built Hundred Years Ago.
 One Of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success. which has recently been converted into 8 museum, or into what foreign jour nalist style "a chamber of horrors" She was built i10 years ago. and her first years were spent iE cruising be. tween the East Indies and England. Iii 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of westery Australia. Capt Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place the town of Perth in Australia takes it's Same. From 1S47 to 1851 the Success piled between London and had on board several hundrad immi- grants who intended to seek their for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain. the other officers, and the entire crew Sacame seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Var Diemen's Land. as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as a floating prison for especially dangerous crim- anals. The vessel then became popu- iarly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean," title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were SD fashioned that they could be made light or dark. and the most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru- ments of torture and number of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Suc- cess, and are attracting crowd of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Harlsor, in Scotland. New York Herald.

Clay Township Organizes.

met at the Mcguire school house Fri
day night, SEPTEMBER l4th and organ
lied a Bryan and Breidenthal club,
with f. A. Lamont president, Fl. p.
Goodell secretary, and Frank Mcguire
treasurer
A good crowd was present and much
enthusiasm manifested, The Bryan
men realize that they are working for
principle and they are working to
win, They have been having good
majority in Clay township, and are
going TO increase 1t this year, although
the republicans are making a desperate
effort to prevent it, They even have
the audacity to claim that they came
over from Valley township and silently
stole away two and took them over to
join the rough riders Of Valley, but as
we are unable to find out who they
were, we must have our republican
friends produce the names before we
believe ii.
The Hon. Frank Hettinger Of
Hutchinson was out and gave one Of
his characteristic speeches, which was
right to the point. The club will meet
at the 0bee school house, Friday night
September 2lst. Good speakers will
be present and an invitation is ex-
tended TO all who are seeking the pO-
litical truth. II. L.

The PionIc.

The picnic in Enterprise township
was fairly successful last Saturday.
But the crowd was not half of what
1t would have been had it not been for
the rain a few days before. The far.
mers had been held back with theil
work for long time by the dry weather
which prevented ploNing and they felt
it necessary to catch up. Still there
we're many there and also who had not
before heard the Issues Of this cam
paign discussed. Rev. B0tltin's speech
was very clear and PLAIN as 1t is always
and 1t accomplished much good. 1t
appears to be the policy Of the repub'
llcans Of this campaign not to discuss
the issues any more than is absolutely
forced upon them. They have defer
red opening their campaign as long
possible and hope to win by a superior
organization through which they can
put money into each township on cleo
tion day and get their full vote out.
They know that thev can not stand be-
fore us IN the discussion of issues and
will do as little of 1t as possible.
