ordinary education and ability. Those who talked with him found him well posted on all topics. He was employed by Gary Bros. shoveling coal part oi the time and found work with others. He took care of his money and always had a good roll where he could reach 1t. Many can be found who testify to seeing him have from $1O0 to $25O, and 1t Is pretty we'll established that he carried large sum with him at all times. When bust. ness man on the street demonstrated with him for carrying 50 much with him and advised him to deposit 1t at the bank, he said Nobody would think of finding money on me-" Under the circumstances it is somewhat peculiar that no money was found in his possession after his death. A careful search of his effects re. vealed no cash. There were number oi shares of mining stock issued in 1881, g note for $308 against man in Westmin. iste-, Vt., dated 1899, several letters and one or two bills for services against local individuals. The people with whom he lived deny all knowledge of his having friends, and say that he told them but g short time before he died that he had but three cents. The town authorities took charge of the case and telephoned tc Saxton River. Word was received from there yesterday to ship the body on by express and deduct expense from funds on hand. The funds on hand are moi quickly negotiable, but as the deceased owned farm in Saxton River the town will probably not be loser.

The republicans of Taulas county have
ination for lieutenant governor. This is
l.he first being that of Mr. Brant. of
Clinton. Senator Penrose is an expert
enced legislator and would be- thorough
iy equipped for the Office seeks He has
served as member of the senate for
light years. or five sessions including
one extra session and he is therefore ac-
quainted with the duties of the presld-
ing officer of that body. Senator PEN
rose Is not only equipped for the office,
but he is man of integrity and ability.
He has been successful in his own busi-
ness affairs and stands nigh m the com
munity in which he lives. He has fol-
lowed mercantile pursuits. but he has
always taking an interest in public af-
fairs The republicans of the state Will
will hardly be able to find a better quail
flied man for the Office to which ne as
gpires. The Fifth district Will have two
candidates to present to the state con-
ventior, the other being that OF Col.
Mowry for railroad commissioner.
While there is said to be some opposi-
tion to Col. Mowry in Marshall county,
it is hardly possible that n state con-
vention would refuse to give faithful
officer. as Col. Mowry has been, the en-
dorsement of a denomination. To refuse
to give that endorsement would be the
making of q precedent which would
plague republican conventions for years
to come. To break the two term prece-
dent, except for palpable cause would
he such n dangerous precedent. The re-
nomination may be conceded to Col
Mowry, and the candidacy of Senator
Penrose ought not to conflict with it.
