MIDSUMMER MidHTS SCHEME.

When Bill and Aleck went to bed,
Twas in the hot June Weather,
But they were cold, for as you've read,
They'd never SLEPT together.
Alpine GOODNESS filled the air,
Though each an effort made
To warm himself up to somewhere
Round ninety in the shade.

a good Republican friend of cure sent us a
check last week and wrote us to send our
paper to as many Republicans
U LIST who did not take the paper
o*o"s' as the check calls for In or
der to show them what u good
thing we have. we have divided the money
into three month subscriptions and those
who receive the paper will know from whence
il came. We ask them to read it for three
months and send us a dollar for a years sub
scription.
We have u great field before us in this
county and our purpose is to bring every
Republican close in touch with political
happenings as they are.

After the next state election is over we will
hear about the Rip Van Wrinkle sleep with
which the Democrats have
ASLEEP been infected. The sweet
poppy dreams have left the
Republican ranks and now the thistles of
ambition are urging us onward and we may
say upward. Don't be satisfied with being
in the right-let your friends and neighbors
know it and tell them why!

One of the peculiar things about the Rcpub-

inability of Mr.. Bryan TO be present. We
presume the reason Is that he wasn't asked.

One feature OF the policy OF the Democrats
in handling the school fund is unique.
Whenever u bequest q
PAYING IN. money is made to that fund
TEREST ON the cash goes into the treas
OFFS. ury and the certificate of in
debtedness of the State for
an equal amount is placed in the school fund,
bearing interest for twenty years payable
by the taxpayers.) Thus, if Mr.. Carnegie
should give the schools of Missouri 500, 600
the money would be spentby the State ofici-
ais and the note of the State. bearing 3 per
cent annual interest, would he paced in the
in the school fund. making Mr.. Carnegie's
$4,000 gift cost the taxpayers 81, 1000 II
year Tor twenty years, so that the fund, in
20 years, would get another 500. 600 FROM,
the State, and be entitled to the principal
OF the note if it were legal. But there's the
rub. Such a note or certificate of indcbt-
edness' has no warrant in the constitution
and may never be paid at all.
The Democrats have been paying . per
cent interest on money borrowed from the
school fund, and have not given the fund u
legal note or a valid evidence of the debt.
If that is wise and honest management of
OF a sacred trust fund, may the Lord deliver
the children of Missouri fro IN such wisdom
and honesty Political Review.

The first days racing was uuevent
full ana most of the heats were rathel
tame in nature although one or tive
afforded some excitement in the WAY
of finishes. The first two races or
the card we're settled in straight heat,
but five were needed in the i35 class.
Six horses cana out for the 2:l7
class, Victor having the pole. Hugh
Mack took the lead in the first heat
and hell it until the last turn when
The Governess let out and won 10y a
few feet, Rosetta and La1oga Boy
lighting hard for third place. Trossie,
picked by many as a lik ly purse
sharer, acted extremely bad anu was
given the flag. The second heat was
also taken by The Governess after a
blanket finish in which Rosetta and
ladoga Boy we're only inches behind.
Gcverness way uithout much effort
on her part, although Victor and
Hugh Mack scrspred hard for second
place. The 2:20 trot vas an easy
thing for George II Wilkes who won
in straight heats Uithuut having to
step in less than '2214. Fred G, the
loaal horse, who was expected II
make things hustle evidently was cut
of condition, although lost the first
heat by break on the stretch after
he apparently had things his own
way. Bovor beat out Fred G, for
second placs in the second heat, b 1t
by securing second position IN the
third the local horse took the next
best share of the purse.
The first heat of the 2 :35 class came
to Orlando easily ard he was picked
by many as a sure winner. This
opinion was strengthened when he cap
tured the second heat from B

North Adams horse broke badly on
the last turn and was relegated to
fourth placer B & NJ won this heat in
a Jog and likewise captured the fourth

by b Il N, with Redondalo a close

l%3 Votes Cast for Him or Four Less
Than Number Necessary to Elect Him
In Joint Concentrating Others
Said to be Sure for Him-His Election
Thought to be Certain.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 1.-Ex-Senator
Quay was the unanimous choice of the
joint convention Of republican senators
and representatives held tonight in the
House chamber to nominate candidate
for United States senator. The caucus
was attended by 1923 legislators, or four
less than the number necessary to
choice in the joint convention of the
Senate and House, which will be held
on January 16. Three of those present
were Messrs Hill and Tiffany of Sus-
quehannah county, and Mcpherson, of
Adams, who absented themselves last
night from the House caucus and voted
with the democrats in the House to-day
for General Koontz for speaker. Mr..
Beaver, of Juniata, who voted with the
stalwarts for Mr.. Marshall for speaker,
was present, but did not answer to his
name. 1t was stated that he will abide
by the caucus. Thompson, of Center,
and Haldeman, of Montgomery, who
are detained at home by illness, were
pledged by their colleagues to Mr.. Quay.
This apparently gives Mr.. Quay 126 of
the 127 necessary to a choice. The other
absentees voted with the democrats on
the organization of the House and are
classed as anti-QuGy republicans.
Speeches were. made nominating Mr..
Quay, Congressman John Dalzell and
Judge John G. Stewart.
On the balloting Mr. Quay received
the vote of twenty-six senators and
ninety-three members of the House.
Before the result was announced the
names of Messrs. Dalzell and Stewart
were withdrawn and the nomination of
Mr.. Quay was made unanimous and he
was thus given a total of 1913 votes.

Response to the Call for Help to Check

the Invaders.

London, Jan. 1.-The Cape Town cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail, who
dwells on the gravity Of the position in
Cape Colony, says:
1.-THE Boer invaders now number five
thousand. The western invasion gives
the most concern. 1t has split into two
divisions, which are marching like the
prongs of a fork, one by way of Suther-
land toward Malmesbury and the other
toward Beaufort West.
'The enemy are now ranging over
immense tracts of territory, necessitat-
ing the employment of an army corps
to deal with them. Lord Kitchener has
poured troops into the disturbed areas,
but the fugitive tactics of the Beers
have to large extent neutralized his
precautions.
TT was felt that the only means Of
excluding the invaders from the rich
districts in the western part of the col
ony was to call out the farmers. To-
days kilograms promise a splendid re-
SPONGE from the eastern portion but the
western is doubtful not thirty per cent
of the population being regarded as 10y
al Hence the Boer concentration in
that direction.
Letters are arriving here detailing
damage and robbery by the invaders
and beseeching military assistance. Any
action on the part of the colony will not
abate the urgent need of large reinforce
ments.'
London, Jan. 2.--"The aspect of af-
fairs is scarcely less gloomy" says the
Cape Town correspondent of the Times.

ters of hostile Dutch feeling as Graaf
Reinet constitutes an element Of danger
which did not exist last January. The
proclamation calling for volunteers
comes very late. The invaders have
been enabled to obtain fresh horses
All the horses in the colony ought to
have been commandeered or bought at
the first sign of invasion" The corre-
spondent complains Of the inertia and
reticence Of the authorities.

THE BOSSCHIETER CASE.
Trial of the Four Accused Young Men
ear at Hand.

| Paterson, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE birth OF
the new year was momentous Tor the
/ four men in the county jail at Paterson,
! N. j., charged with the murder of Jen-
ME Bosschieter Two weeks from to-
/ day one or all four Of the accused men
will be called to the bar to stand trial
Whether all four or only one will be
called remains to be decided. The mat
| ter has been argued before Judge Dixon
on the application of counsel for George
]. Kerr, who desires that his client be
| tried apart from his associates. The
decision may be given any day but may
not be announced until the four are ar
raigned for trial. If Judge Dixon
first to face a jury. Rumor has it he
will ask for mercy and be given it in
the shape of the consent of the state
that he be allowed to plead to minor
crime on condition that he adds his
story of the occurrences of October Is
to the other evidence.
Kerr's friends confidently expect
him to suffer less than his companions
because they claim he was less guilty.
The expectation Is that the case when
called will reach the jury within eight
or ten days. The evidence of the hack
man will probably take a day. His
story will be quickly told but it is ex-
pected he will be subjected to severe
cross-examination. Each of the four
accused men has a separate counsel or
two and special counsel from outside
of this city are expected to be on hand.
Mr. Emily, the prosecuting attorney, will
have associated with him only his reg
ular assistants. He contends that the
case is SO clear and the law so specific
that there is no need for special coun-
sci for the state.
Just what line the defense proposes to
take will not be known until the OPEN
ing address for the men Is made except
so much as may be indicated by the
cross-examination of the witnesses for
the state. The lawyers interested alb
solutely deny any intimation as to the
course they will follow. One thing Is
certain, and that is they will make
much of the supposed inability of the
state to bring forward a witness who
actually saw the knockout drops pour
ed into the girls drinks in the saloon.
