We believe as the immortal David Har-
UNI DO to the other fellow as he
would like to do to YOU. and do it first.
While casting no reflections upon the
present incumbent. we think Hon Ed.
NJ. Lowry in this office would more
nearly represent the wishes of the PEG
pie than any other man i'm Grant Co.
Mr. Lowry is well and very favorably
known throughout the county He
has been public officer FOR years in
different capacities and in each case he
has acquitted himself with credit and
honor. especially when serving as dis
trict attorney. His legal ability is I'M
questioned. AS lawyer he is un-
doubtedly the peer of any in this see
ton. His favorable mention for the
circuit judgeship when vacancy
should occur there, shows i'm what es-
TEEN he is held. and how his ability is
recognized by his fellow practitioners.
Mr. Lowry is product of Grant coun-
ty has lived here nearly all his life,
and has shown himself honorable and
deserving of the respect and admira-
ton of everyone AS public servant
he has devoted himself to the interests
of the people, and the zeal with which
he has done this characteriZes him
Mr.. Lowry has always been closely
identified with the Republican party,
and has been actively connected with
all its successes. Considering the I'M
firing energy with which Mr. Lowry
has devoted himself to the best inter
osts of the Republican party during
each campaign such energy as deVo-
ton alone, and no thought Of recon-
pense except such as the success of his
party could give him it is but fitting
to ask that every Republican, who has
the welfare of his party ut heart and
who believes in giving Justice where
Justice is due should do his utmost Ito
secure the nomination and election of

SIX WEEKS
MORE or 1T.
Winter VIII Last That Much Longer So
Says The Ground Hog
Shifts The Air And Returns TO SIumber.

lflhe ground hog knows anything
about il, and it is generally conceded
that he does, there will be six weeks
more Of winter lie distinguished
without any great difficulty MS ehad-
OK Saturday when he came out after
his long sleep.
The little fellow only remained a
moment upon making his appearance
lie did not need the bright sunshine
to tell him that winter was here.
There was snow on the ground and
the air while not cold to extreme was
being shifted about by gentle zephyrs
from region Of medicine Hat, giving
premonition Of something chiller to
follow At any rate he was satisfied
that his warm bed was the place for
him and he returned 10 take a little
morning nap Of six weeks before the
alarm clock rings.
So far as the ground hog is con-
cerncd this region has only one
chance of escaping six weeks of Sc
we're winter weather. There is a pos
sibility that the woodchuck wishing
to enjoy the sun and breeze Of this
remarkable season, hadn't been long
enough in his burrow to be seriously
frightened by his shadow when he
came out on his anniversary, and
found a fair, and clear and balmy
Candlemas. If this should prove 10
be the case, it may not require six
weeks 10 restore hi, courage and per
nit him to come forth again and be
confronted by the mysterious appari-
tion Of himself as cast by the sun

Of the timld little rodent wasn't made
10 hut.er too vigorously and that he
may accept the assurance Of MS al
that a shadow can't bite.

Here and There.

1t is something of an ordeal to sub
nit TO vaccination. One knows that
there will not be much pain but there
is too much seriousness about 1t. You
walk up to the physicians office care
lessly. 1t seems a trivial matter. You
point to your left arm and the doctor
understands. He leads you away to
his operating room and your mouth
drops. The room is associated in
your mind with uncomfortable things.
He tells you to take off your coat and
roll up your sleeve. With rough
towel he rubs the skin till it is flush
ed with blood. He takes an ordinary
darning needle with very sharp
point and scratches your arm GUAR
ter inch square) with intersecting
lines till that paItof the skin is covered
with blood. Then he breaks the
ends of fine glass tube in which is
sealed drop OF glycerine containing
vaccine. He forces this out upon the
bleeding spot. covers the same with
something so the friction of the sleeve
will not rub off the blood and vaccine
and the trick is done. The vaccine
dissolved IN glycerine and sealed in
glass tube is used now almost entire
" instead Of the old familiar points
\ point is an ivory splinter which
has been dipped in cow-pox vIris
(vaccine) and allowed to dry. The
present smallpox scare has of course
increased enormously the sale of vac
cine tubes.
Revenues from the inheritance tax
law passed by the state legislature is
not coming in very rapidly. The tax
applies to all estates of over 100000.
1 he rate on estates in which the
father, mother and children are the
benefciaries is one per cent. and on all
others it is five per cent. Estates
which 90 to charity are exempt. Fiji
teen per cent. OF the tax collected goes
to the county in which the estate lies
and the other So per cent. goes to the
state. The tax is collected by the
county and the Is per cent. is given
to paw for the trouble and expense of
collection. The J. II Baldwin estate
Is the only one thus far reported in
this county, en- which a tax Of $I97
was paid.

MILLER

On the morning of Feb. 3. 1901, the
Angel of Death again entered the
home of VIM. Miller, near Beetown,
and removed the beIoved daughter
and sister Allie.
Laura Alice Miller was born in Bee
town Feb. 26. 1895, and died Feb. 3,
1901. On February 18th, large con-
gregation of relatives and friends as
sem bled at Providence church to pay
their last tributes Of love and respect
to the deceased. The Rev. Nerr an
preached a very affecting sermon
from 18th and 10Th chapters OF Mat
thew.
Dear Allie. you have left us
Left US here to mourn alone.
But the God above who loved you
Now has claimed you for his own.
You have left behind your parents.
They to whom you were so dear,
And "A large circle of dear friends,
You have left so lonely here.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense.
But trust him for his grace:
Behind a frOwning providence
He hides a smiling face. a. Ii.

HE DEFEATED
DAN RENEAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. R.-Swimming
Is having a bigger boom in this city
than for years, and It seems that it has
just begun to liven up. The races be-
tween II. A. Wluemann and Scott Leary
were the finest seen here in many years,
and the recent work Of Brewer at San
Diego has set the natators talking Clyde
Hawthorne has now challenged Percy
Cavill, the instructor of the Olympic
Club, and as Cavill cannot afford to let
n challenge go by, very interesting
race Is assured. Hawthorne is we'll
known here, as he has swum against
many of the best amateurs of the city.
Hawthorne arrived from Santa Cruz
yesterday and Immediately challenged
Percy Cavill to swim him a race of 100
yards in some neutral tank. Percy Cavill
is a great favorte with the Olympic Club
members, and they will undoubtedly back
him against anybody. This will be Haw-
thorne's first professional race. He has
been teaching swimming at Santa Cruz
for the last summer, having returned
from the East last February. While in
the East he defeated Avery, a prominent
amateur Of Chicago, by four yards in 100.
Hawthorne is a very fast swimmer. In
1895, when he was hardly more than a
lad, he beat Dan Renear In a seventy
five yard race in the tank at Santa Cruz.
Just a short time before H. A. Wide
mann established new American and
worlds records. in 1898, Hawthorne swan
him tie in a seventy five-yard race in
this city.

NO NEED FOR THE
FORD ISLAND LAND

By its decision, reported in this paper
yesterday, that no portion of Ford's ISL
and is needed for the Pearl Harbor
Naval Station, the government has re-
be done in the matter of the condemna-
ton suits, to large degree. This elm
mates from the opposition the Ii estate
and the Oahu Sugar Company. AS well
there are interests of w. G. Irwin and
Bishop G. Co.. which must be conserved
in that matter, and these defendants
find themselves relieved of trouble.
The portion of Ford's island men
toned in the suits was. not originally
in the piece contemplated by Capt.
Merry and others, and was not in the
area recommended by Capt. Pond and
Capt. White. But by action at the
navy office the demand for more land
was made and the suit brought called
for more than 500 acres and much OF
this was the island property. While
there were no plans for the use of this
land, it was said at one time that the
government wanted to control absolute
ly all the front bordering on the Wal
kiki channel to the East lochs, so that
there would be no danger that mer-
chant ships would ever take part of the
way and block the way to the govern
ment docks. There was little danger
of this, owing to the fact that the
Ford's island business was all done on
the other side, in the way of ferrylnS
to the railroad connection.
By the taking out of the sums de-
manded by the defendants on this par
ticular piece the entire amount claimed
against the government is cut down to
about one-half million dollars, or about
half what was originally asked for the
station lands.

fara Leaves.

Yesterday afternoon the City of Para
left the Pacific Mail dock for Port Los
Angeles. She had safely unloaded her
crew of Porto Ricans and is now on
her way for more. Captain Feeder is
not in love with his present cargo as
they are by no means neat passengers
He said that the only decent ones of
the lot were the st. Thomas negroes
of whom there were fifty in this last
consignment. He stated that as he
figured on there being about $1,000 more
Porto Ricans on the Coast awaiting
shipment. the Para would probably
have to stay on her present run for
four or five months more.

HOW A PRINCE CAME TO A
TRAGIC BUT DESERVED END

ST PETERSBURG, August 2s.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press.)-
The facts about the death of Prince AL
exander ACCOMPLISHMENTS rlebcrg.
generally referred to as Prince Alexan-
der Wittgenstein which were yelled in
much mystery at first. are now common
property in initiated circles. There was
a hint of duel at the time, but the
wrong names were given. Prince Alex
ander, who was born in Tifiis L.. 1863.
was travelling on the Finland railway
about two weeks ago with two French
women. The story goes that they were
somewhat gay, and appear to have had
more wine than was good for them.
Their noisy conduct finally became en-
barrassing to Prince Alexander. and he
moved to the other end of the ear.
Lieutenant Maximof, distinguished
young officer, who was wounded four
times in the Transvaal, the last occasion
being at Cranienburg, entered the car
rage, took a seat opposite the two
Frenchwomen, and began reading
newspaper. He had a somewhat peculiar
countenance in fact, he resembles a
Jew. The young women Immediately be-
gan exchanging irritating remarks about
his appearance. He bore II patiently for
u time, then put down his paper and
said in French:
"Mesdames. If you knew that / under
stand French you would, ] am sure, not
make such remarks about me-
The women Immediately ceased talk
ing and showed some confusion.
Prince Alexander rose, approached
Lieutenant Maximoff and said:
80 nose ladies are under my protec-
ton"
Lieutenant Maximof saluted and said
nothing, or attempted to laugh the mat
ter Off.

You appear To have failed to grasp
my meaning said Prince Alexander. Il
"a d those lauies were under my protec-
rion."
II heard you and understood YOU, -
quietly replied Lieutenant Maximof
II require you to apologize for what
you said"
II said nothing that requires any apol-
oSy or explanation. | think the ladies
appreciated my telling them that j un-
d"rstood their thoughtless remarks"
The Prince insisted on AN apology and
cards were exchanged. when secS nds
came TO Maximoff he sent them back
with the remark that he had intended
no insult or slight to Wittgcnstciu or his
companions. and did not wish to fight
about such people. Wittgenstein threat
enrd to insult MaNimoff publicly If he
did not fight. The duel was accordingly
fought on the Wittgenstein estates near
this city Wittgenstein fired first, and
the ball passed through MaXimoff's hair.
MaXimoff fired low, intending to wound
Wittgenstein i'm the leg. He aimed too
high, and the ball pierced the abdomen.
Nittgcnstein walked to the house, hold
ing his hand over the wound but died
several days later
Lieutenant MaXimon will probably be
dismissed from the army. Indeed. ii is
rumored that he has already been ds-
graced.
The Wittgenstens are immensely rich
and are of royal blood. Prince Alexan-
der was the second cousin of the present
head of the house of His Serene High
ness Prince Wittgenstein. The deceased
was lieutenant in the escort of His
Majesty and Lieutenant MaXimon was
a members of one of the Guards reg-
ments. The funeral was attended by the
leading members of society.
