and began the business career that
has been one continued success up to
the present time. A year later he
enlarged his stock and rented the
building now occupied by William
kast. Here he kept a general stock
of groceries, confectionery, etc., and
about year later added dry goods.
The town was then on the boom,
and the young merchant trimmed
his sails to catch the trade winds of
prosperity, and was successful be-
yond his own dreams. In 1884 he
formed partnership with +. G..
Sylvara in the dry goods and gener-
al produce business, the caption of
the firm being Reeser & Sylvara,
and one of the largest stocks known
in DuShore at that time was install
eel in the rooms at present occupied
by Mr.. Sylvara. Mr.. Reeser's
health had become impaired by his
close attention to business and he
decided to take Il very much needed
vacation. For the best part of Il
year he travelled through the west
ern states, much of the time trough
ing it, in true border style, and in
the pure air of the prairies and
mountains wooing back the health
and strength that business life had
robbed him of.
He then returned to business with
renewed health and strength and de-

FROM THE BOTTOM
ROUND TO THE TOP.
Commenced Mercan-
tile Life at the Age
of Eighteen.
AN HONORABLE CAREER.
"Roughed it, on the Western
Pra:ries to Regain Health
Broken by Hard Work.

Following is life sketch of John
d. Rccscr, as published by the Re
view in Il recent issue:
John ID. Reeser, the candidate for
Associate Judge, is native of S;ull-
ivan county, and man of whom
we may be proud. His career Illus
tratpS what Il young man can accom-
plish, even in these days when so
many complain of lack Of opportu-
nifty. Many a man who started in
life at the same time as did the sub
ject of this sketch, with far more to
begin with, now cnvies him the po-
siti0n he has attained in the business
and social world, and bemoan their
own lack of luck. The fact is, luck
has very little to do with a mans
career. Generally speaking, if a
young man is honest and upright,
hard working, Industrious and So
ber, he will in the end win success.
This has been the case with Mr..
Reeser, Whatever he has, he has
worked for it, and worked hard, ear
ly and late, and if he now possesses
the universal confidence and esteem
of his neighbors and business associ
ates it is because his every action has
been such as to con pei that respect
and admiration.
John ID. Reeser, the son of Amos
and Rebecca Reeser, was born in
Dushore, March Is, 1861. The grand
parents of the subject of this sketch
were among the earliest pioneers
who settled in Sullivan county, and
were Of fine old German stock. His
father, Amos Reeser, for many years
one Of the best known citizens of
Dushore, was one of a family of nine
children, three of whom were min
listers of the gospel. John ID. Rees-
er was the only son of his parents,
and in him their fondest hopes were
centered, and they have been more
than realized. When boy he
steadily attended the public schools
of his native town, and laid the foun-
dation of fine education which was
to serve him well in later life. When
he was eighteen years of age he
opened small confectionery store,

Nelson Cox
for Sheriff.
A Man Who Would Do
Credit to the Office.

For Sheriff, the Republicans have
a candidate in Nelson Cox who is go
ing to win, and better man never
aspired to that responsible office.
He is gentleman of unimpeachable
integrity and sobriety, well versed
in business affairs, and one who could
be depended on to administer the
duties of Sheriff with the strictest
fidelity and honor, at the same time
giving a poor man all advantage
that the law would allow, as he him
self knows what it is to be reduced
to very moderate circumstances.
He is making most of his canvass on
a bicycle, and is doing his work
thoroughly and completely. Hav-
ing been thrown out of employment
last spring when the Bernice Mines
closed, he is, unfortunately, work
ing against big odds with a wealthy
opponent of large means. Mr.. Cox
is going to receive handsome vote
from his many friends on the other
side, and if every man on his side
does his duty, which he surely will,
there will be no mistaking the
results.

voted all his energies to the upbuiid-
ing of All already splendid business.
In 1885 he was married to Mrs. Mary
r. Healey, and to them have been
born three children. John ID. Jr.,
Marjorie j. and Mable ID. Recser.
In 1891 the partnership existing be-
tween Messrs Reeser and Sylvara
was dissolved by amicable agree
ment, and Mr.. Reeser leased the
building where he is ut present loca-
ted, and which had until that time
been occupied by the well-known
firm of Welles & Acllley. Begin
ming here with large stock he has
continually added to it and to-day
handles one of the most extensive
lines of merchandise in the county,
and is one of the largest taxpayers Of
his town.
About three years ago, on invita-
ton of the board of directors Of the
First National Bank of Dushore, he
accepted an election to that body,
and since then has been prominent
in the management of its affairs.
If elected to the Office to which he
has been nominated the people of
the county can rest assured that he
will give most careful attention
to his duties, and that his decisions
will ever be based upon common
sense and justice, and that no mem
Der of the bar, or prospective mem
ber, will have a mortgage upon him,
ready to foreclose at Il moments
notice.

MEETING IN MANILA.
Attempt Made to Inaugurate Evangelical
Movement Among Natives.

Manila. Feb. 4.-Fewer than four
hundred persons attended the meeting
called Sunday by Senior Buencamino
at the Rial theater, in the Tondo
ward of Manila, to inaugurate the
Evangelical movement" Consider
able interest was manifested in the
proceedings, and there were some ex-
pressions of approval of the adj
dresses. No attempt, however, was
made to commit the meeting to Pro-
testanism, that aspect of the case
being left for subsequent action, at
his discretion, to Rev. James b.
Rodgers, missionary of the Presby-
terrain board, who was present.
Senior Buencamino argued in favor
of supplanting the present priests
with Filipinos having the privilege of
marrying. Gradually he led up to
Protestant ideas, and asked whether
they were any longer to submit to
the authority of a pope or an arch
bishop. Some shouted mo- but 9th
ers remained silent.
The Rev. Mr. Rodgers preached a
short sermon, but refrained from any
criticism of Roman Catholics.
The Rev Mr. Prautch. of the Meth
odist mission, offered the four gospels
In Tagalog and anti-friar tracts,
which were sold at the door by Nico-
las Zamora, q native Methodist re-
vivalist. who conducts exhortation
meetings every Sunday.
A Methodist minister baptized a
hundred Filipinos Sunday afternoon
at Malibay, about four miles from
Manila. The Rev. Mr.. Prautch Sc
cured score of signatures in neigh
boring village to a declaration In fa-
vor Of handing the church over to
Protestant worship and debarring
Roman Catholics.

SHE RELISHEO IRON
Hardware Found ia the stomach OF a
Ccw

Hardware Found 1E the StOmach OA =
Cow.
Yesterday during the daily slaughtering
Of beeves at one Of the packing houses IN
the North End, the foreman of the
butcher gang was dumbfounded to find
in the stomach Of one of the finest Of the
fat cows a well selected stock Of build
er's hardware. There were two pounds OF
sixpenny nails and a handful Of large
size steel fence staples. Just where this
voracious bovine had gone to collect this
assortment Of Steel Trust products, or
whether or not she is listed in the noloch
community of interests, remains mys-
terry, and VIII continue to do So for she
was solely the only one who knew, and
now she is dead The animal clear up to
the last retained a steady, indestructible
reserve and taciturnity on this interest
ing feature Of her interior works, and
died taking her secret with her. It was
noted by the herders tnaU she was as
frisky as a village girl at a circus and
seemed not to be at all burdened with
her load Of fronware, ant twice tried
to vault over the holding pen fences.
Then, too. another significant function
was her elaborate adult appetite, as big
as a church debt. She slowed away on
TOP Of that accumulation Of shelf goods
enough baled hay and other fodder to
break country livery stable, and then
she had ever a far away, dreamy gaze
like one who was still shy on hay. She
walked the cleated inclines Of the narrow
drives with as elsatic a step as though
only hay was her invoice Of stock inside
instead of sample copies of the American
Steel Nail and Wire company. It would
seem as though any self-respeoting helfer
in the effulgent domains O. plentiful Kan
sas would manage SOMEHOW to cultivate
more refined alfalfa tastes where all win
ter pastures have been rich with juicy
verdure: but this shameless, lost and per-
verted beast seemed only to have a de-
pravfty Of epicurean diaboiism 1T only
for the drunken orgies Of a bacchanalian
revel Had she not met the untimely end
she did yesterday. she would have been a
fit subject for some COW Kelley cure for
the nail and staple habit. To stow away
such adamantine plumber as that in ones
inner self is base and unfair To liken
ones bovine self to the unholy and IN
particular ostrich and the richly odorifer-
Gus goat is enough to make The Kansas
Steer and His Sister" weep with shame.
CLl6 may nave bEtu DIDNSlu near sum-
defunct barbed wire fence. and in her
haste to MUNICH her share of the juicy
and succulent grasses of the vast prairies
she may have innocently taken in that
Wichita Nail Factory sign; but her sub
sequent air of innocence and defiant in
dependence would seem to give the snap
dead away, as it were, and TO stamp her
as a staple and nail henu, incurable. Ger
tain it is she was valuable aid, in the
capacity Of consumption, to the trust,
but she viii henceforth anu forever cease
to irritate her gastric glands by hiding
away that sort of COW viands and her di-
gestion and that yellow appearance she
had would have been better as it was had
she confined her gastronomic endeavors
simply TO baled hay and corn staIks.
