store in Wilkesbarre, says a dispatch
from that place, to settle the strike

their troubles settled. In the window

disputes employers may call here and
state what is wanted and wants can be

JOACHIM PETERS.
Apparently disappointed by the fact
that thrOngs did not crowd his store,
he has placed underneath the first sign
another, and this is what it says:

THoRvALD MoRCK, candidate for
reelection to the office of clerk Of
district court, is practically assured
of big majority on next election
day. He has made an enviable rec
ord during his present term and is
admittedly one of the most efficient
and competent officials Marshall
county has ever had. He is eyer
courteous and obliging to the public
and always keeps the work of his
Office up to date, other duties, or
pleasures, never being permitted to
interfere with or prevent it's prompt
performance. He deserves we'll of
his party also for the signal SER
vices he rendered it during the sew
eral campaigns he has acted as Sec
retary Of the county committee. AS
a reward for his loyalty to the party
and his active and efficient service
in it's cause, and as tribute of it's
appreciation Of the ability and close
attention to details that he has dis
played in the conduct of the busi-
ness of the Office, the Republican
party accorded him an unanimous
denomination at the primary elec-
tion and will ratify it's action then
by triumphantly electing him on
Nov. 4th. By reason of his extern
sive acquaintance and personal pop
ularity and their knowledge of the
excellence of his administration of
the clerks office, scores of Demo-
Gratis and Populists will cast their
votes for him and help to swell his
majority.

In 1892 the Democratic party
stood for tariff reform and a return
to state bank currency, commonly
called "wild-cat money" Cleve-
land was elected and a Democratic
congress passed bill tlnkering with
the tariff, but the tax on state bank
currency was not repealed nor has
that "issue" since been heard Of.
In 1896 the Democracy declared for
free silver, and the campaign Of
that year was made on the money
question almost entirely, SO far as
that party was concerned, only the
Republicans being willing to talk
tariff. In 1900 free silver was rele-
gated to second place, Bryan and
his lieutenants pushing ''imperial-
ism'' to the front. This year the
Democrats have sought to revive
the tariff question, as free silver,
imperialism, state bank currency
and the like have all been laid on
the shelf. But what of the NOR
row? Who cares to predict what
will be the rallying cry of the De-
mocracy in 1904? Will it be soci-
alism? Will the party of Jefferson
and individual liberty bid for the
votes of the idle, the shiftless and
the vicious by demanding that the
government acquire, control and
operate the mines, the railroads and
the like as step in the direction of
government ownership Of all the
means of production and distribu.
tion within it's borders? 1t is to be
hoped not, yet there are many signs
that point toward it's adoption Of
such a course.

MORGAN AND THE NEWSBOY
Great MaSnate's Deal With Small
Newspaper Merchant.

Great Masnate's Deal With Small
Newspaper Merchant.
While J. p. Morgan was driving
down Nassau street to his Office in q
hired closed cab the other day, says
the New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press, he was recognized
by little newsboy as the cab passed
Liberty. street. He darted toward the
cab and, running alongside it, shouted
at the top Of his voice: 'Hi, Mr. Nor
gan! Coal strike 'extra!" at the same
time fourishing a newspaper in front
Of the cab window.
Either something in the paper at
tracted Mr.. Morgan's attention or he
was pleased at the lads familiarity.
He reached for the paper and threw
the boy half dollar. The little fellow
picked up the money and, without hes
itating, ran after the cab again and
jumped on behind.
Before the cab pulled up at Mr.. Nor
gan's office the newsboy was already
on the sidewalk waiting for it to stop.
AS Mr.. Morgan stepped out the urchin
approached him and, holding the
change from the fifty cent piece in his
outstretched hand, said:
eyer change, Mr.. Morgan
"Why, my little man." said Mr.. Nor
gan in some astonishment, what is
this for?"
eyer give me SO cents fer the paper
yer jist bought, an this is yer change,
SIR" replied the boy.
"Oh, never mind that. Keep the
money, keep it-and take this. There's
a peach cart over there" Here Mr.
Morgan dived into a pocket and fished
out another fifty cent piece, which he
gave to the urchin, and, clapping him
on the back, turned and walked briskly
into his office.

yield has been abundant, SO much so
that it is unstable. Generally this has
been the most prosperous year in Okla

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.
How to Avoid Danger During q
ThunderstOrm.

How to Avoid Danger During .
Thunderstorm.
When q severe thunderstorm is rag
ing, the safest place is in the open,
close to the earth. If the body is erect,
1t acts as an excellent conductor for
the lightning to find it's way to the
earth. For this reason it is danger
GUS to take refuge under a tree, says
the Buffalo Courier. Doubtless most
Of the persons who perished while
under trees would be alive today
had they remained in the open. 1t is
also injudicious to huddle under
thrashing machines, sheds or in the
fairs, especially under or near the flag
staffs which usually adorn such struc-
lures.
Avoid standing in doorways, near
chimneys and freplaces, close to cattle
or near the ends Of wire clothes
line during a thunderstorm. On the
other hand, there is not much sense
in going to bed or trying to insulate
oneself in feather beds. Small articles
of steel or iron, as knife, kettle or
key, do not attract lightning. as it is
popularity believed.
If one has been struck by lightning,
the first thing to do is to go to work
to restore consciousness, as lightning
oftener brings about suspended ami
nation than somatic death The con-
ditiOn of person struck bv lightning
is much the same as that of person
rescued from drowning. Try to stim-
ulate respiration and circulation. Do
not cease in the effort to restore anil
nation in less than an hour, as you
value the life Of the sufferer.

no harm and that they simply wanted
what money and valuables he had with
him. Mr.. Shepherd complied with the
demand very readily, and he and his

Mr.. Shepherd accepted an invitation
to remain to dinner, and fine repast
was set and enjoyed by the visitor.
After dinner an escort Of two bandits
was detailed to accompany Mr.. Shep-

by the bandits that he never reported
the robbery to the Mexican authorities.
Since the development Of the mines

age amount Of bullion in each Of these
shipments is about 100000.
Mr.. Shepherd had a magnificent
home at Batopilas. rivaling in spa
ciousness and beauty many of the cas-
ties of Europe.
Here he lived like king, ruling over
an estate larger than some European
principaHtie~ and was known by the
natives as ''Don Senior Shepherd, uno
Americana mas grande."

COULDN'T STOP THE BOY,

of the South Side:
Recently the Doctors nephew, a green
country lad, came into town on a visit.
One of the sights was the doctors lab
oratory. In a closet was a well-preserved
skeleton, nicely articulated and hanging
from a hook.
The doctor left his nephew in the room
for few minutes. Meantime. the young
ster, bent upon seeing all that was to be
seen. pTowled about the laboratory. Final
ly he ,~Tle to the closet door, and. won

sight of the skeleton the lad yelled,
slammed the door shut. and ran from the
room shrieking at the top of his voice.
He sped down the stairs, four steps at a
time. dashed through the door and started
on mad run DOWN the street, still Yell

Hearing the noise. the doctor rushed to
the laboratory, only 20 catch a glimpse
Of the younEster as he went downstairs.
Following in hot pursuit. the doctor ar
rived at the street just as his nephew
was half block away.
Hi, there, you young rascal, What's
the matter? Come back here shouted
the doctor breathlessly.
With a fresh burst of speed, the youth
yelled as he turned his head:

you have got your clothes on.''-MiiwaU-

ALCERNON JARTORIS ILL
Mother Called to Pittsburg to At
tend His Bedside.

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris has returned
from Pittsburg, where she was recently
called by the illness of her son, Mr. AL
gernon Sartoris, who has completely re-
covered from what was at first feared
would develop into a severe case of pneu-
Inonia.
Mr.. Sartoris two months ago accepted a
position in the George Westinghouse
Electric Works, in Pittsburg, where it is
his intention to start at the lowest round
of the ladder and work his way up.
Mrs. Sartoris is expecting the return of
her two daughters from abroad in April,
but their arrival may possibly be de-
ferred until May. Miss Rosemary Sar-
toris, who has been studying art at San
Reno for the winter, has returned to her
aunt, Mrs. Gordon, in London. with whom
her sister, Miss Vivian Sartoris, has been
for year past.
Mrs. Sartoris states that there is no
truth in the report that her oldest
daughter had at any time been studying
art in Paris, as it is her second daughter
who has talent in that line, Miss Vivian
Sartoris possessing a decidedly musical
bent.
Upon the return of her daughters Mrs.
Sartoris will go with them to Cobourg
Canada, where she purchased a handsome
place last summer. and which for some
months has been undergoing extensive al
terat.ons. Mrs. L. S Grant will join them
in June and spend the summer at Cobourg,
of which she is very fond

Mrs. A. l.. Barber entertained the off,

as is her custom each year.
Belmont, the stately residence OF the
hostess, that crowns the heights OF Four

the drawing room floor with masses of
white blossoms, mingled with palm foli-
age and fern.
In the dining room the white shaded
candles burned in silver candelabra, and
iii the centre OF the table a massive low
ing cup of frosted silver was filled with
long-stemmed, white roses, whose frag-
rance perfumed the air. The hostess wore
a superb French gown of jetted sequins
and a necklace Of large, pear shaped dia-
monds. with other diamond ornaments
flashing in the rich leces of her corsage.
The receiving party was large one,
and included. in addition to Mrs. Fair

Washington, Lincoln, Garfield, Mckinley,
and President Roosevelt. Around these
were draped American flags.
The table decorations were of patriotic
colors, the centrepiece bank of Ameri-
can Beauty roses. cherry blossoms, and
spring flowers. From this arose cherry
tree laden with pink and white blossoms.
About the base of the tree were red,
white. and blue George Washington
hatchets. The c"rsase bouquets were of
orchids and sweet peas, tied with red.
white. and blue ribbons. Colored lights
interspersed among the flowers added to
the brilliant color effect.

master General Payne and his niece, Miss
Louise Jones; Secretary Wilson, Mr.. and

panions was something to be remembered,
so daintily piquant were the shepherd
esses in their Powered tuckups, rose
wreathed flats, and tall crooks. topped
with ribbon-tied bouquets
AS to the angels everybody applauded

it, they looked so like the real thing"
The audience within two yards around
looked at the elderly Senator as if they
would have liked to enquire how he came
by his knowledge, but nobody said any
thing.
That the tableaux would be everything
that was historically correct and scenic
ally beautiful was a foregone conclusion
in the minds OF those who were present
at the first series arranged by Mrs. Bar
ney and presented at the old Corcoran

most histrionically important feature of

she must have realized that the applause

mere appreciation of indulgent friends.

the performance given in that city for
