The Herald thinks that John ID.
Reeser, the Republican candidate
for Associate Judge, is inferior in
every way to half a dozen gentle
man he names, whom the Republi-
cans might have nominated. Does
any one think for moment that
the nomination of any of them would
have suited Mr.. ScOuten If the
nominee had been Mr.. Kshinka, Mr..
Barns or Mr.. Kilmer would not the
Herald have had the same Spasns: I:
In this case it would have been the
superior qualifications of Mr.. Rceser
that would have been exploited.
Every one knows this except those
so blind they will not see, or so deaf
that they will not hear. To take up
the same line of argument, compare
the standing, past and present of
Messrs. Litzelman and ROey Qhe
unsuccessful Democratic aspirants
for the nomination. with that of
Scouten's candidate. Stand the three
of them in line and child can see
that the only way in which Scouten's
man stands head and shoulders above
them, is in his physical proportion.
We are told through the Herald that
Mr.. ReeSer has no fitness for the
place as he has spent his life selling
calico. The Herald can tell the
avOcati0ns of Mr.. Walsh if it will,
and let the people judge which sta
ton of life best qualities or disquali-
ties the men for the office. We can't
see where ScOuten's man has the
bulge in that direction.

were called to attend the funeral of
Miss May Connolly, a niece of Mr..
Bradley, who died in California
where she had spent the summer in
her endeavor to regain health, but to
no avail. She spent the greater part
of two years with Mr.. Bradley at
this place where she became well
known and held in affection by all.
Miss Connolly left Laporte last Sep
tember for her home in Cleveland,
with the best wishes of Il host of
friends who had hoped to again see
her on return visit. The news of
her daeth was received with much
sadness.

Laporte Honored the Memory of the Late
President William Mckinley

Laporte Honored the Memory of the Late
President William Mckinley.
Thursday was a day of mourning
at the county seat. Flags at half
mast, the national cOlOrs heavily
draped flOated i'm the breeze from
residences was much in evidence to
the sorrow felt. Business was sus-
pended in the afternoon and the day
was as quiet as Sabbath calm.
Memorial service was held in the
court house in the evening, presided
over by Judge Dunham. The court
room was completely filled with
town and vicinity residents who
had gathered there to pay final
tribute to the memory of the late
Chief Executive of our nation. The
room was fittingly decorated and
draped. Mrs. f. NJ. Dunham pre-
sided at the organ. Rev. Bradford
read a passage of scripture and offer
ed touching prayer which was fol-
lowed by well prepared address
by Judge Dunham. Atty. f. j.
Mullen, was then called upon and
made an eloquent speech pay tribute
to the late President. Rev. Otho
Brant delivered touching eulogy
on the marytered Chief Magistrate,
and spoke of President Mckinley as
above all else Il representative Amer
lean.

Brother Newell of the Sullivan
Review very truthfully says, "Mr.
iDeininger is Il man of fine address
and appearance, n perfect gentleman
and one who could hang his hat on
the proper peg behind the door of
the prOthonotary' Office, open the
records at the proper place and be-
gin work without any instructions,
and the public could rest perfectly
secure that there would he no mis-
takes during his incumbency, and
that the records would be kept i'm Il
perfectly legible manner. 1t is his
excellence and well recognized fit
ness for the place that has provoked
the cnmity and vindictiveness of the
opposition, who are wasting valuable
breath and ink in maligning him,
which should be expended in praise
of their own candidate. Mr.. Dein-
niger and his friends ask only for
the same honorable and gentlemanly
treatment that has been accorded
his opponent, and trust that from
this date the fight will be fair, and
that the best man shall win"

Do we want another machine AS
sociate Judge to trump up a bill of
from 5000 to 81 100 year for less
than thirty days service? From the
date of the incorporation of Sullivan
county up to the time that the greedy
gang took possession of the court
house the average annual salary of
our associate judges was less that
$3.50. Your ballot is your defense
against that sort of jugglery.'-
Scouten's Herald.
Was Conrad Kraus "machine
judge? if so, what "machine"' He
was certainly nominated and elected
on the regular Democratic ticket.
Did Conrad Kraus trump up bill
and thereby get illegal fees: Scout
ems Herald insinuateS that; and
John G. ScOuten has been convicted,
by two Sullivan county juries, of
criminal libel therefor. Is not even
the grave safe from his vile attacks?
Hon. Conrad Kraus was an honest,
honorable man, and Il gentleman.
He did not take one farthing from
the State more than he was entitled
to. lie died honest and beloved by
the people. Let him rest in peace.
Evan Snnuian will MT ynntIIrn to
assert openly in his paper that John
ID. Reeser, if elected, will take dis
honest penny for his services.

take all he can get, he will not be IN

AMERICAN FLAG ORDERED DOWN.
Yellow Journal Would not Allow the
American Flag to Float from it's Roof

Yellow Journal Would not Allow the
American Flag to Float from its Roof
John Scoutcn, political boss, and
editor of the Herald, ordered the
American flag taken from his build
ing Thursday morning, where it
was being placed and draped in
mourning in honor of our late Chief
Magistrate William Mckinley.
The News Item gets the details of
this outrage from one of the parties
who assisted in hanging the flag
which was in these words: Mr..
Streby, editor of the Gazette went
to Mr.. Newell, editor of the Review,
Thursday morning of last week and
suggested that they swing flag
across main street from their offices,
in honor of the dead President. 1t
met with approval and rope was
procured and one end made fast to
the top of the Review building and
arrangements We're just being made
to swing the other end of the rope,
with the flag attached, to the top OF
the building occupied by the Gazette.
At this juncture Boss ScOuten, who
owns the building, in which his
Herald is also published, appeared
on the scene, and ordered the boys
down from the top of his building,
and then forbid the two newspaper
men to attach rope to his building
under any circumstances, saying that
"when l want anything of that kind
done will do it myself"
Being men and Americans the two
gentlemen refused to submit to such
dastardly outrage and at once pro-
ceeded to attach the rope to the top
of C. M. Croll's building which adj
joins that of Scouten's, there the flag
was draped and swung to the breeze
where it floated trlumphantly during
he day.

4 weird Lawn rsnni. Contest.

AS lawn tennis players are not near
ly such a serious minded race as golf
ers. it is only to be expected that lawn
tennis should suffer where even golf
cannot escape. The writer remembers
seeing some ten years ago a weird
contest between a most distinguished
Irish lawn tennis player and an oppo
nent to whom under ordinary clrcum-
stances he could give enormous odds.
On this occasion. In lieu Of the usual
odds, he undertook to play him with
s0da-water bottle instead of a racket.
The match proved infinitely more ex-
citing to look at than It appears on
paper. The accuracy Of the wielder Of
the s0da-water bottle was something
extraordinary, and in the end he won
fairly easy. The experiment was also
interesting as showing the impossible
ity Of handicapping a player Of the
highest class and fifth-rate perform
er. But though this match had some
thing to recommend II. the same can
not be said of a ridiculous contest
(which took place in the early days Of
lawn tennis at Brighton. In this match
one Of the players rode a pony which
was shod with leather shoes for the
occasion. and is said to have appeared

what DO you think Of an alliance be-
tween a plant and an ant. veritabie
reciprocal treaty whereby the pla lt
furnishes food for the ant and the lt
furnishes protection for the pl9 ~
This is an actual existing relak in
Australia. where a small pugnacious
ant and the bulls horn thorn live to
geiher under really remarkable condi-
tlons.
But FOR the plant the ant would be
without food. and but for the ant the
plant would be destroyed by several
varieties Of insects that attack its
leaves
The reciprocal plan and agreement is
this The thorn az the end OF each leaf
has a pair Of hollow horns, around
which Is secreted a substance fitted for
food for the ant. and which Is renewed
By the plant as rapidly as It Is con-
sumed. In these horns the ant lives
and finds his natural nourishment
within easy reach.
He objects emphatically to the pres
ence OF other insects. and as soon as
any OF the little enemies Of the plant

empted be darts from his home In the
