 If any should deny that news papers are the universal civillzers they must admit that the two go hand in hand the world over, and where one is absent neither can be found Not only literature in it's restricted sense is represented d in the periodical press, but every profession, art and industry has it's newspaper organs, and none are successful without them.

NOVEL BULLFIGHTING.
Astouobils Takes ths Place of ( Horse
 In . French Arena

ID . ttencn arena
 A corrida took place at Bayonne in which an automobile played the role of the caballero in plaza, who is, as is well known, the distinguished person age in bullfght, riding horse cov- cred with trappings and wearing the costume of a grand seigneur of the seventeenth or eighteenth century. This time, says the London Times, by truly modern innovation, M. Deutsch, the founder of the famous 100, 0,00o-franc prize, presided. Some 5000 spectators were present. As l said, the caballero, instead of enter ing the arena on horseback, entered it on motor car, with protected wheels and the driver well sheltered. The emotion, or, rather the curiosity, of the crowd was uncomfortable, and 1t is to be hoped also that one element in their delight was feeling of satis- faction at not seeing horses ripped open and blood flowing in the arena. Unfortunately, the desire of the pub lie, which was looking forward to a picturesque struggle between the bull and the motor car, was not realized. The automobile maneuvered cleyerly in pursuit of the bull, which the piea- dor harassed; but the bull refused to take the offensive, fled continuously before the motor car at the risk of be- ing run down and crushed, and thus the battle ended through lack of a combatant. The automobile, which had conquered without danger, tri- umphed without glory. If anything could succeed in rendering bullfghts ridiculous this would perhaps be the best way to do SO.

REPUBLICAN cAUcusEs.
City Republicans to Select Delegates
and Committeeman Tonight.

The various ward caucuses of the re-
publicans will be held this evening.
commencing at e: 80 o'clock. for the
election of delegates to the county con-
yention, of committeeman and to NOM
mate township officers. The First ward
caucus will be held in the office of JUS
tice Burritt. the Second ward caucus
will be held in Justice Clark's Office.
while the republicans of the Third ward
will meet in the mayors office and those
of the Fourth will assemble in the Alert
hose house on South Third avenue.
Various township caucuses are also
being arranged. That for Bangor town
ship will be on Saturday evening in l..
o. G. T. hall; that of Marion township
en- Monday afternoon at o'clock. in
Green Mountain: that of Washington
township in LaMoille at Z o'clock Tues
day evening. and that of Taylor town
ship in Willow Hill school house at Z p.
IN. Monday.
At these caucuses delegates will be
elected to the county convention,
which, in turn, will select delegates to
the judicial convention. 1t is proba
bic that in every ward and precinct of
the county delegates favorable to
Judge Caswell will be chosen, as repub-
licans generally concede that he is en-
titled to another term and that Mar
shall county should insure his renomi-
nation by sending delegation that
will support him solidly The selection
o. some other man for the bench In this
district at this time would be a mis-
take. in view of the fact that Judge
Caswell is entitled to a second term.
that he has taken high rank in the jul
dietary of the state and is recognized as
being learned in the law, that he is a
hard worker and painstaking, and fear
less in formulating his opinions when
he is convinced that his course is the
proper one to pursue. 1t is probable
that Judge Caswell will receive the
solid support OF Benton county in the
judicial convention, and that both
Judge Burnham and Judge Caswell
will be selected as their own success
sors. a good attendance at the eau
cuses and the selection of representa-
tive republicans as delegates is impor-
tant. as Marshall county will want
strong delegations sent to all the con-
ventions for which the county conven-
ton will choose delegates.
